DEAD NEAR THE TRACK
S. e. Anderson's Lifeless Remains Were
Picked up Near Quarry.

S. e. Anderson's Lifeless Remains We're
Picked up Near Quarry.
A telegram was received here Sat-
urday evening for Sheriff league
and Justice Curry to come up to
Quarry that another man had been
killed.
They went up and a BANNER re-
porter accompanied them. After a
a rough ride to Gay Hill
and a considerable delay, and a
change of cars there we finally reach
ed Quarry and was met by Mr.. Scott
Wallace who conducted us to the
scene of the accident at the end of
the swith about two or three hun
dred yards south of Quarry Station.
Arriving there was small camp
fire and seven or eight men were
grouped around the remains of
8. E. ANDERSON
son of Mr.. T. W. Anderson, both en-
ploynes at the Quarry. All that the
grief stricken father could tell us
about the sad fate of his
son was that early Saturday
morning he employed a man to work
in his place and left to come to
Brennan to have some pictures
taken. and that about two or three
o'clock in the afternoon, news
reached him of the death of his son,
and he added mournfully "the last
of nine children besides their mother
that 1 have lost"
Justice Curry examined the remains
and arrived at the conclusion that
the young man either fell off the
train or was struck by it and got
HIS NECK BROKEN.
The young man had some few little
things on his person that were pur-
chased here Saturday and $3.50 in
cash, and there was not the slightest
evidence of any foul play. The
aged father took charge of the re-
mains after the inquest.
He informed the reporter that his
son would have been 20 years old
next April and was quiet hard work
ing steady young man.
Returning to Quarry the officers
and reporter stopped at Mr.. Scott
Wallace's store and in the absence
of overcoats which had been left in
the hurry of getting of, took
some stimulants, and went to the
section house where steaming hot
supper awaited US, of which we all
partook heartily, put one of the party
supped SO heartily that he had to
pay 25 cents extra, the readers are
left to guess which one.
A southbound freight was tagged
down and an attempt made to get
back, but before we could reach the
rear end 1t had picked up and was
going at seYen or eight mile gait
and none but the reporter were
successful in boarding it, JUS
tice Curry and Sheriff league get
ting left as the reporter could not
stop the train for them.
Two new hotels are in course of
erection there besides a new depot
the frame work of which is up.

table formed a hollow square ex-
tending all around the room in the

and furnished room to seat thirty
couples and was twice filed, with
the gay, the noble and the fair, who
through the hall IN joyous concert
poured, and festal gay laughed in
the mantling goblet while the tapers
dazzling beam rivaled the light of out
side daylight.
The groom is prominent young
man occupying a lucrative position
at Yoakum and in every way worthy
of the fair bride he saw, loved,
sought and won, to be guardian
angel over his life presiding, doub-
ling his pleasures, his cares dividing.
The bride is QUE of Washington

such as give society its highest
taste, raise the virtues, animate the
bliss and sweeten all the tolls of
human life, possessing fair face,
an easy dignity OF mlen, claiming re-
spect, yet waving state, that marks
the daughters of the great.
The BANNER extends its heartiest
congratulations and trusts that the
happy couple may find the perpetual
fountain of domestic sweets, where
one cannot drink delight but that
the other rejoiceth. May the joys
of their marriage be a Heaven on
earth, life's paradise, the souls
quiet, sinews of concord, earthly i'm.
mortality and an eternity of pleasure.
They left on the 3 o'clock train for
Galveston Wednesday afternoon
where they will spend the honey

Peddler on the the Trestle.

A Russian cheap .iewelry and
trinket foot peddler was struck by
the incoming Navasota train on the
second trestle from the city about a
mile north of here on the Santa Fe
about 2 o'clock Friday afternoon and
knocked senseless to the ground 25
feet below. The train comes around
curve and down a gradejust before
reaching the trestle and could not take
up in time to avoid the accident. As
soon as the train could be stopped
it backed up and picked up the IN
fortunate man and brought him to
the city. DR.. W. A. Lockett, the
company surgeon was summoned
and endeayored to give the man re-
lief from the excruciating pain he
seemed to be suffering and from
some of his relatives and country
men who came down to the train as
soon as they learned of the accident
it was learned that his name is
Doumit Farah. DR.. Lockett was of
the opinion that he had received in
ternal injuries, the extent of which
could not be ascertained until after
the shock and the reaction sets in.
Blood was running out of his
mouth and nose, but no bones were
broken.
He was struck by Conductor J. E.
Jacks tram No. 81, the first trip he
has come out since he had wreck
near Navasota, Sept, %, in which
little Addie May Sloan was killed
and he had his arm broken.

FULLER'S INTEREST.
Whittier Asserts His Right to
Purchase 1t.

William P. Fuller died in May, 1882 leav-
ing large estate consisting principally Of
an interest in the firm of Whittier, Fuller
& Co, valued at 100000 Mrs Full
Ter, the widow, was appointed eXecutrix
pursuant to her nomination by the testator
and a few days ago she filed a report of the
sale of the decedent's interest in the iirni TO
her son, William p. Fuller Jr., for 81, 400, 600,
lie paying 100000 in cash and giving his
notes for the balance.
No sooner had w. Frank Whittier, senior
member of the firm, learned of the transac-
ton, than he took steps to have the report Of
the eXecutriX rejected. The matter was set
for hearing before Judge COffey for yester-
day, but on the day before Whittier began
a suit in equity against the eXecusrix Mary
S. Reynolds, William P, Ella F., George p,
Bertha A. and Frank W. Fuller and f. n.
Woods, alleging that by the articles of CO.
partnership he Is entitled to purchase the
share of the deceased partner, and desiring
to do so, praying for judgment decreeing
specific performance OF tile contract
Judge Wallace promptly issued an injunc-
ton restraining the executrix and all the
heirs and their agents from participating in
any proceedings having for their object the
confirmation OF the sale, aud at the hearing
yesterday ex-Judge Dennison and j. II.
Boalt representing Whittier, presented
it on Mrs. Fuller, who was at the moment on
the witness-stand. Il. j. Lyons, appointed
to represent the heirs by Judge Coffey,
arose, however, and stated that since he is
an officer of the Probate Court, by virtue of
his appointment, the restraining order could
not affect him. He was DESTROYS of proceed
ing with the hearing. and Judge Coffey Sus-
tanning him Mrs Fuller was allowed TO 20
on and tell about the sale of the partnership
interest to her son.
She said that she had decided to accept
S1,400,0OO from him, and had already re-
ceived 100000. The injunction suit having
proved of no avail, the attorneys for Whit
tier have lost an important point, since
Attorney Lyons may succeed in elieitng
sufficient evidence to warrant a confirmation
of the sale.
In the complaint for specific performance
and an injunction, it is elaine d that under
Clause rs of the articles of copartnership the
option is given to Whittier and to Fuller of
purchasing the others interest upon his
death. Last December an appraisement Of
Fuler's interest was made, shO wing it to be
worth S1.3l5, goo. after deducting money
which had been paid to the widow and
others.
Desiring to purchase the interest. Whit
tier rendered his notes to the executrix, but
she refused to sell, saying that she had
already disposed Of it, as stated The hear
Ing will be resumed to-day.
