A MOST FIENDISH CRIME.
A YOUNG LADY TIED IN THE WOODS
FOR TWO DAYS.
Her Rescuers, After Surrounding Her
Captor, Brutal Negro, Skin Him
Alive and Then Hack and Cut
Him All to Pieces.

Special to The Statesman.
SHREVEPORT, La, Sept. S.-News
was received here today Of most
fiendish crime that occurred near
Arcadia, a small town near here. 1t
was the brutal outrage of young
lady school teacher by big
brute negro. Owing to the
high standing and respectability
of the young lady in question,
and the deep modification and pros
tration under which she labors, it is
thought advisable not to print the
name.
After her school duties were over
the young teacher started for her
home which was two miles distant.
When she had reached woody spot
on her way home, the negro emerged
suddenly from the roadside and seized
her in firm embrace. The brute
carried bodily the half fainting
woman into the woods q considerable
distance from the road out of the
hearing of the passers by along the
road. He tied her to tree with
strings and pieces of her own cloth
ing. For two days and nights she
was kept tied to the tree, and was
paid frequent visits by the british
negro. The young lady not coming
home alarmed the whole neighbor-
hood, and men turned out for miles
around.
Their search for her never ended
till the afternoon of the second day
when she was found, overjoyed at the
prospect of being released from her
loathesome position. 1t was some
time before she could speak. She fin
ally managed to stammer out the
story, and with rare presence of
mind advised her discoverers to Sc
crete themselves in the underground
close by, as it was soon time for
her captor to appear and when
he did so he would be captured. This
they did, and in short while the
negro made his appearance. He was
immediatelysurrounded and captured.
The young lady was released from her
bonds and sent home. After the dis
appearance of the young lady, the
negro was bound securely and tortured
to death. He was first skinned alive.
He was then cut up, bit by
bit. He suffered eXcruciating agony
but his captors were hardened at the
thought of the brute's crime and con
| tinued their work till the negro
could stand the fate no longer and
died a horrible and fearful death. In
forty minutes his most vital parts
were cut out. The brute's carcass was
left in the woods as food for the buz-
yards.

A FATAL FAMILY QUARREL,
A Husband in Anger Kills His Wife and
Then Blows His Brains Out.

Topeka, Kas., Sept, S.-One Of the
most terrible tragedies occurred in
Topeka this morning, at 7:3O O'Clock.
A German named Gustav Berger and
his wife Johanna, were seated at their
breakfast table with their chill
dren. The husband and wife
had been quarreling since Sat
urday over some rent money paid
to them. The wife wished dollar to
buv some clothing for one of the boys.
The husband did not wish her to
spend the money for that purpose,
and threatened to kill his wife, who
in fear ran from the dining room out
upon the porch. The husband rushed
for his revolver, followed his wife out
doors and shot her through the back,
killing her instantly. He then turn
edthe pistol upon himself and blew
out his brains.

State Weather Report.

GALVESTON, Sept. S.-The atmos-
pheric pressure is above thirty inches
throughout the country, except over
the extreme west portion Of Texas
and the southern portion of New
Mexico, where there is Il depression
of slight intensity. The atmospheric
pressure, however, continues highest
over the northern portion of Mime
sofa and Dakota, and another low
area appears to be moving in over the
territory northwest of Montana.
Showers have fallen generally along
the Rocky Mountain slope, while
to the eastward of the 9th
meridian the weatherisg generally clear
and without rain except along the
coast of Florida and the Carolinas.
The temperature has remained sta
tionary during the past twenty-iOur
hours, except that it has risen over
the western portion of Texas, and has
fallen 10 to 20 degrees over the north
ern and central portions of the Rocky
mountain slope.
The isotherme of 20 this morning
passess about mid way between
Wilmington and Charleston, through
Augusta and New Orleans, and
north of Galveston, through
Brownsville, south OF Rio Grande
City and then north through Abilene
and from there west and north of EI
Paso. The isotherme of 60 passes
north of Boston, south of Nashville,
Cairo and Kansas City, through
Dodge City and Santa Fe. The
isotherme of so is very irregular and
passes through Duluth, st. Paul and
Sioux City, south of Bismarck
through Forts Buford and AS
sinaboine, thence south through
Rapid City and Cheyenne,
then northerly through Hell
ena. The isotherme of 40 passes
around st. Vincent, which gives a
temperature Of 81 degrees.
The local forecast for Texas, east of
the 10th meridian, for A hours from
noon. Showers in north Texas and the
northwestern portion Of central Tex
as today and tonight, and in the
other portions by Thursday morning.
The temperature will be slightly
higher this afternoon and tonight
over the southwestern portion Of Tex
as, the coast region and east
Texas; cooler weather will be eXpe-
rienced over North Texas and the
northwestern half of Central Texas by
noon Wednesday, and cooler in other
portions, except stationary along the
coast by noon Thursday; variable
winds.

who was in the city today, said there
was no foundation for the report that
Gould intends giving up the control of
that road, or that the property will go
into the hands of a receiver. The
Union Pacific, said Mr.. Thurston, has
a floating debt of $l2,OO0,OOO, created
when it purchased the Oregon Rail-
way and Navigation property. This
was placed in the hands of great
many people. When somebody in
Wall street wanted to make drive
on Union Pacific certain hold
ers of these securities were
induced to to demand an immediate
payment. Gould was then in the far
West and Ames was in Europe. 1t
did not take them long, however, to
make arrangements whereby this
debt has been placed with DreXel,
Morgan d Co., and that, too, at a low
er rate of interest than was being
paid before. The Union Pacific was
then in as good condition as it is now.

GALVESTON, Sept. 8. - Alderman
VIM. M. Andrews, whose death was
announced last night, was buried
with appropriate honors by the Ma
sonic fraternity this evening. His
funeral was attended by the mayor,
board of aldermen and other civic So
cieties, of which he was an esteemed
member. Prior to the funeral the city
council met in special session and
passed resolutions eulogistic of the
deceased, and expressive of their sor-
row at his loss.
Flags on the city hall and other
buildings were at half mast in honor
of the dead. Mr.. Andrews was born
in New Orleans in 1842, and removed
to this city when he was quite lad.
During the civil war he served gal
lantly in DeBray's regiment, and at

gagged in the maritime business, and

MARBLE FALLS NEWS,
Everybody and Everything on the Move in
This Busting Town.
Special to The Statesman,

Special to The Statesman.
MARBLE FALLS, Tex, Sept. s.
Your correspondent arrived in this
beautiful little city Saturday evening,
and desires to inform the public that,
although there has not been much said
of Marble Falls here of late, it is still
in the ring, but unlike the pugilist, is
not distigured in the least. On the
other hand, it is rapidly improving
and the indications are that it will
continue to do so. Several residences
have just been completed and a beau
tiful dwelling will go up shortly for
Mr.. Holland of the First National bank.
The wagon bridge across the river is
under construction and will be
ready for use by the 1st of December
A notable feature of this bridge is,
that one of the spans, will the longest
in the state. The piers are of solid
granite, and when completed it will
be a grand structure.
The ground was laid off Saturday
for round house to be erected at this
place for the Austin and Northwest
ern railroad. Much is expected from
this, and no doubt it will be one of The
most beneficial of the many enter
prises which are already located here.
The broad gauged people of Marble
Falls, recognizing the advantage to
be derived from broad gagged rail
road, have decided to give broad
gauged picnic, barbecue, fish fry and
general celebration when the work of
widening the road is completed. The
citizens are far famed as hOspitable
entertainers, and it will be grand
success.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1891-09-10

morning in his opening address con-
graduated the congress upon it's be-
ing the largest body OF representa-
tives of trades unions to meet in any
part of the world. Mr.. Burt also said
that he was glad to see that the
wOmen's unions were solargely repre-
sented at the congress, as women
needed more organizing than men.
The president expressed the opin-
ion that whenever women did the
same work in quantity and
quality as men, they ought to ask the
same pay as men, and the latter
ought to support them in their de-
mands. cloud applause.) In con-
clusion, Burt reminded the delegates
that an important problem for work
men, was to discover some means
which would bring about better
distribution of wealth and to raise
themselves in greater material we'll
being and in nobility OF character.
ENGLISH WOOL MARET.
LONDON, Sept. Sat the wool sales
today, 1900 bales were offered
There was q crowded attendance but
business was inactive, dealers await
ing developments.
The quality ofmost Of today's offer
ings was medium to poor, which did
not meet the buyers requirements.
Although stocks at home are very
light, buyers preferred to await the
chance of better futures, and the es-
tablishment of a basis of values. Bet
ter qualities sold fairly and readily
from par to five points below their
previous values. Lower grades were
fully five points below their previous
values Greasy Merinos and cross
breeds were in the best request, al
though first class seconds sold well.
