Special TO the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, Sept. 30.-A crowd of
five boys, all under the age of twelve,

and defendant, and had persistently re-
fused to permit her to enter or occupy or
sleep with him therein at night, and
had assumed course of treatment to-
ward her that rendered her life misera-
ble. The parties are prominent citizens

A Plentiful Cotton Crop.

A Charleston, S. c., cotton mer-
chant, in and interview in the News and
Courier, tells OF the great prosperity of
the cotton planters, and what he says
about the farmers of that state applies to
nearly all of the nth.
This is, - said he, ION the whole, q
remarkable year. The cotton crop is
further advanced than it has been for
years, while at the same time the price
of cotton is much lower than is usual at
this season. The farmers will not lose
anything by lower prices, however, as
they will make up the difference in guam
tity. l hardly remember year, since
have been in the cotton business, when
such uniformly encouraging reports have
been received from the interior districts.
You see from one or two localities in the
weather and crop record that the crop
will not be as good as first expected; but
this does not mean that the crop will not
be good. 1t means that at first the
planters predicted really phenomenal
yields, and now they see that they have
been too sanguine. But all the same
they will make splendid crops, and many
of them who have been behind in their
accounts are going to pay out; and they
will be- happierybefore the 1st of January
than any other class of people in the
country.

mission asking that body to compel the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul road
to reduce the rates on lumber from Eau
Claire to river points. What the Eau
Claire people complain Of is that the
rates which they are compelled to pay on
lumber to Council Bluff and Kansas
City are unreasonably high as compared
with those from other Northwestern
points. The rate from Eau Claire is 81
cents per 100 pound above Chicago,
while that from Winoua aud Lacrosse is
only one cent and that from St. Paul
and Minneapolis only two cents above
the rate from Chicago. Answer was
made by the Chicago, Milwaukee and
ST. Paul company that lumber rates
were but recently advanced and to now
lower the rate at any one point would
result in general cutting and collapse all
around. Taking rs a basis this report
the interstate commerce commission has
served notice on q number of Western
roads interested in the lumber traffic,
ordering them to make an answer within
twenty days and show cause why rates
should not be reduced from Eau Claire.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3o.-The way is
clear for an adjournment to- morrow, the
senate having passed the tariff bill late
to-day. Senator Carlisle made most
forcible and Impressive speech against
the bill. He was dramatic in his delivery
and every one says it was the best speech
he ever made. He had the closest at
tention from both sides of the chamber
and was the recipient of hearty con-
Eratulations by his colleagues. He took
u position to-day beyond the most SAN
Euiue expectation of his friends. His
speech was largely directed against the
proposed sugar bounty. He attacked the
validity of this provision and quoted
high judicial authority, declaring the act
beyond the scope and power of legisla-
ton.
INSTRUCTIONS TO POSTMASTERS.
Judge Tyner, the assistant ostmaster-
general OF the postof1ice department, has
been engaged for some time in preparing
instructions to postmasters regarding the
anti-luttery law, which are very COM
prehensive in prohibiting lotteries.
1t also prohibits all schemes
for distributing prizes by chance and ap-
plies even 10 church fairs. An adver-
tlsement of rattle at a fair would be
excluded from the mails. Judge Tyner
has referred to him the question whether
newspaper published in Texas
that has guessing scheme
can be admitted to the mails.
He has not yet determined the question,
but this is sample OF the problems pre-
scented for his decision. If the express
companies are used for carrying the
tickets and drawings of the lottery COM
pany, the pOstmaster-genera! will exer-
else the power granted him by
the revised statutes which imposes
q fine of $50 for every offeuse upon every
person who shall transmit by private ex-
press or other unlawful means or deliver
TO any agent of such unlawful express
or deposit ut any appointed place for the
purpose Of being transmitted by
express any lottery ticket. Another
section imposes penalty of $50 for every
offense upon All express company which
shall convey letters or packages over any
post route from or TO any city or town be-
tween which the mail Is regularly
carried. One of the postotfice in
speotors told your correspondent this
would be the next step adopted by the
postmaster general TO prohibit the car
rvlng of lottery matter by the express
company.

JUDGE TURNER ACQUITTED.
July, but is HonorabIy Discharged
for thu Deed.


ET6Clal 10 the GaZeLle.
HUNTSVILLE, Tex. Sept. 30.-The
case of the state of Texas against Judge
j. B. Turner, prominent citizen of
Groyeton. Trinity county, for the killing
of Professor d. A. Davis, young schoo
teacher of that place, came up in the
district court to-day on change of venue
from the above county. This case eX-
cited considerable comment at the time,
and was one in which two lives were
lost, one a lovely young girl and the
other a respected and genial professor.
Last July Judge Turner's daughter, Miss
Annie, shot herself with pistol, and
the judge, rushing into her room,
snatched the smoking weapon from her
hand, and going to where Davis boarded,
shot him to death. It seems
Davis had been guilty of certain indis-
cretious involving the honor of Miss
Turner, and to escape disgrace the young
lady ended her life. The tragedy was a
surprise TO all, as both parties were at
the top of society in the little town of
Groyetou. Judge Turner is an old and
respected citizen of that place, and his
action was considered justitiable by
nearly all. A number of witnesses were
examined this morning, and the case
was this evening discussed by the at
torneys of both sides, some of the most
distinguished lawyers in the state being
employed thereon. Late this evening
the case was submitted to the jury, who
returned III less than five minutes with
verdict exonerating Judge Turner.

MURDERED AT LLANO.
A Man Shot Down in the Dark by an Unknown
Assassin-AdoIph Wright the I'm
fortunate Victim.

Special TO the Gazette.
LLANo. TEX. Sept. Sour usually
quiet town was thrown into an unusual
excitement about CLOCK last night by
the report of FIVE or six pistol shots in
rapid succession. The shooting was done
at the rear of the Silver King saloon and
an immediate investigation resulted in
the discovery of the dead body of Adolph
Wright lying upon q little knoll some
fifty feet northwest of the saloon. He
was shot in front and upon the top of the
head, rather in the retreating part of
the forehead. A large hole marked the
entrance of the bullet, from which the
brains of the murdered man protruded.
The ball passed down and through the
head and lodged in the lower back part
of the heud. The deceased was seen on
the public square by several shortly be-
fore the killing, gong from the court
house in the direction of where he was
killed. The affair is so far
shrouded in mystery aud no
clew TO the situation is obtaina-
bic. There are many rumors and con-
lectures, but nothing upon which
foundation can rest. Wright was
gambler, and engaged in the saloon
business at this place. 1t was cold
blooded, deliberate murder and our citi-
Zens deeply deplore the occurrence. The
cowardly deed or black hearted assas-
sin hes left a widowed mother and affec-
tionate sister and several brothers to
drink the bitter dregs of this cup of sor-
row.

Points OF Interest Concerning silver Purchases
md the Price Paid-Resume
OF the Ray.


Special TO the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-The further de-
cline in the price OF silver to-day at
tracted much attention, because it starts
the query as to whether the experiment
of advancing the price of silver by the
purchases of the treasury to parity with
gold Is not failure. There are, how
ever. some immediate causes which have
had important effect in causing the de-
cline, and which are not prominent. The
first of these is that for the last week the
treasury has been out of the market as a
buyer, though purchases begin again to-
morrow. Next, the supply of bullion
here has not been diminished by treas
ury purchases; next, the trade relations
between England and India have been
enough more favorable to England in the
last few months to make a decrease in
the demand for silver in export to India
Next, money is tight in London and
dealers in silver there, seeing demands
were lighter for the time being, both in
this country and for India, have only
bid at declining prices. Whatever may
be the final result of the silver experiment
the immediate causes above referred to
have probably spent their force for the
time being, and an upward reaction in
the price of silver before long is not i'm
probable.
Local money rates advanced to per
cent. Important net changes for the
