CORNERED.

County Attorney B. S. Rogers
and Sheriff league both received
kilograms Thursday from Mr.. E.
Brown to come up, he had caught
the man who poisoned his family.
Mr.. Rogers was sick and could not
90, but Justice Curry went up
Thursday night and Sheriff league
Thursday afternoon.
It will be remembered that an &C
count of the poisoning was pub
lished III the BANNER when it &C.
Cured last week, but no particulars
were learned at the time. It seems
that during Mr.. Browns absence at
the Hampstead shoot, his family
learned that Mr.. A. Walter, who
runs a small grocery store, had
some very fine syrup, and that they
sent after some. At breakfast Mrs.
Brown and Miss Payne, of Houston,
who was visiting Mrs. Brown, eat
heartily of the syrup, one of the
children eating a small quantity,
and in an hour or two were almost
dead. Physicians were summoned,
and they said none too soon, and
they were saved. 1t was quite esi'
dent that they had been poisoned
by the syrup, and as Mr.. A. Walter
and Mr.. Brown were not on friendly
terms Mr.. B. suspected that the
syrup had been drugged, and sent
part of it to the State chemist for
analysis, and Sheriff league pre-
sumed from the telegram he re-
ceived Thursday, that his surmises
had proved correct and that he was
wanted to arrest Walter, which he
expected to do Thursday evening
upon his arrival there.

BuIHed Alive.

The six -year-old boy, son of Bill
Sails, colored, on MIR. W. B. Craw-
ford's place near Chappeli Hill, was
burned to death Thursday evening.
He was pouring kerosene on the fire
from a can when it ignited, the oil
exploded bursting the can and the
burning oil was thrown all over his
clothes, the cruel and uncontrolIa-
bic flames completely enveloping him
as he ran screaming for assistance.
Before any one could reach him
his clothes had completely burned
off and his entire body was badly
crisped. The little fellow suffered
excruciating pain until welcome
death came to his relief at 9 O'Clock
Thursday night. It is the same
old, old story, Of lighting the fire
with kerosene and blazing the way
TO glory.

MIR. A WoEHLER put in some mo-
tor fans in his bar room and restau-
rant some time since and endeav-
ored to run them with gas engine,
which proved to be a failure He
then introduced steam engine, but
it did not work to suit him and he
decided he would have them run by
water power, but after the trouble
and expense of the connections he
finds that the pressure is not great
enough to move them. He is out
some $500 experimenting, but will
put in a first class twohorse engine
which can be relied upon at any and
all times to keep them going.

BRENHAM'S MILITIA,

There was large crowd at the
depot to witness the departure of
the Brennan Field Artillery and
Brennan Light Guard, who left on
the west bound noon train Friday
for Austin to 60 into camp.
The two companies, together with
the Light Guard band in their
bright uniforms, glittering guns
and smiling countenances, which all
bore a plainly confident frst-prize
expectancy, presented a gala ap-
pearance, and many were the hearty
good wishes that accompanied them
for their success.
Few cities will turn out a finer
looking set of citizen soldiers, and
though they should not win any
prizes in the sharp competition with
which they will have to contend,
Brennan will welcome their return
and give them royal reception, for
no city is prouder of her militia
than BRENNAN.
The boys have been drilling dur
ing the past few weeks regularly
and are in good condition
Some $4,000 men will attend the
encampment and the principle fea-
ture of the drill will be Skirmishing
and Guard mounting.

CINCINNATI, April 25,--In an in-
terview here Chaunoey NJ. Depew
said, referring to President Harri-
sons trip: Harrison's Southern
speeches prove the caricatures 80
universally accepted Of the man
who ratified around in a great Office
have slandered the President. who
mentally and morally had the tai
ent and the courage to worthily
administer the office of Chief Magis.
trate, The moral and the result
will DO the triumph of the Repub-
lioans IN next years canvass and
denomination and election OF Presi-
dent Harrison. Indeed / don't
think there will DO any opposition
TO him in the National Convention.
The reception accorded the Presi-
dent IN the South shows tho new
South Is becoming nationalixed and
will care less for the doctrine of
State rights than the North. When
you come to think about it the
South is the only part Of our
country which is purely and typi-
cally American. 1t has not been
invaded by immigrants.
CRY OF MEXICO. April 25.--
President Diaz did not meet Presi-
dent Harrison Mt lei Paso because
OF the illness of Mrs. Diax. The
speech which Harrison made ut El
Paso was published by most of the
here and favorably
commented upon. None of the
Governments organs made any
mention of the speech. Inquiries
elected the fact that there was no
intention to slight the President,
but that the papers did not con-
slider it unusual to publish news
one week old and that they would
print the speech In time.
New York, April 25.--The Post
quotes approvingly the Galveston
News and the Burlington (vt)
Free PRESS as representing two
sections and parties OF the country.
Both speak Of the Presidents tour
as signifying a return Of good will
between the North and South. The
Post itself says: The good effects
of the Presidents Southern trip are
already manifest, not merely in it's
broadening influence upon his own
previously narrow horizon, but
.lso upon the people Of both Sec
ions.
