HIS NINTH VICTIM.
Another Bloody Murder on
the Texas Peninsula.
SHOT DOWN IN A BALLROOM.
a Courageous Frontier officer Receives y
Bullet from Mexican Bandits
Revolver ON the Rio
GraRde.
Specia. 20 the Gazette.


San ANTONIO. TEX, Aug. 15.-In that
portion OF Texas known rs the Bloody
Peninsula" another murder has occurred,
and one of the most noted desperdducS Of
Northern Mexico has another notch on his
siA-,hootrr. The Texas frontier on that
portion Of the itio Graudc IS very thinly
settled and lily projected For live wears
past the ranchmeu have been subjected to
weekly inCursion- 10y a band Of Mexican
bandits, who make their hauntS in the
mountains Of Coahuila.
The leader of these men is Senior Antonio
CarrasCo. native of the Sc" cast part Of
the republic. dc IS thirty Years of aye,
SIX feet in height, slender as an Indian,
1.-the as u willow, and Of singularly deadly
disposition. He has the delicate pdtriciau
features, large blue eyes. and eXQuIsitc!y
courteous manners that mark the best Cas-
lillian blood. During his career IN the
peninSular country ne has broken up dozens
of homes through his Galantries, and in
private affraSs has killed eight men. Be-
sides such sport, he has been III numer-
Gus combats with river guards and other
attaches Of the customs house. The muir
der of last night makes his ninth man.
Terribes Pastrano was born in Texas OF
Mexican parenta-ce. He was of sturdy
build, thirty-tive Years old and married. lie
was a deputy sheriff and has been espt.-
cially active i'll the pursuit of the Mexican
bandits. He had secured evidence show
ing that CauTaScO was one of the IuurdercrS
of Charles t'usSellman, sergeant of the
Texas rangers, who WAS shot TO death in
the Texas peninsula d year ago. lie
learned last night that CaITaSCo would be
at fandanSo given on the Texas side OF
the river, and went alone to arrest him.
As he entered the room where the couples
were Waiting to the playing of guitars,
CarrasCo stood at the further end. He was
dressed from head to foot in d snow-white
suit and round his waist WAS a broad red
sash, from which protruded the handle of Il
revolver. As PastranO advanced into rhs
light the bandit chieftain called TO him,
My friend, you are an officer, and wish To
arrest me, very well" As he spoke his
hand dropped to the sash and the next SEE
Ond his weapon rang out.
Pastrano, blinded by the glare, was una
bic to defend himself The bullet entered
Just above the right eye and he fell dead.
Backing out of the room, Carrasco. with
levelIed revolver, defied any one to arrest
him, and springing upon his horse
plunged into the river. He reached tho
opposite bank and disappeared.
Fifty Mexican rangers have followed his
trail into the mountains, but it Is unlikely
that he will be caught.
The residents of the peninsula have made
application to Governor Hogg to have u &C.
tachment of state troops to be stationed
there.

CHAIRMAN REAGAN'S REPLY TO
LUMBER DEALER
Who Wants the Same Rate OF Freight
Per Carload For Any Distance and
Interstate Traffic stopped.
Special 10 the Gazette.

Special 10 the Gazette.
AUSTIN. TEX, Aug. 15-The following
letter written by Chairman Reagan of the
railroad commission to L lumber dealer at
Houston, concerning rates on lumber, will
be of interest to lumbermen, and TO the
public: O.
OFFICE OF RAILROAD COMMISSION OF
TEXAS, AUSTIN. Ten. Aug. II, 1891
Mr. F. c. Weaver, 81 Main street. Houston. Tex
DEAR SIR-Your letter dated at Fort
Worth, July %, is before us. You did not
indicate in 1t that an answer was desired,
and rs 1t contained 4 general discussion OF
some of the questions before Us, no answer
was thought necessary.
You argue in favor Of-the postage rate on
lumber-that is, the sane rate of freight
per carload for any distance And you adj
wise to stop the Louisiana and Arkansas
lumber from coming into the state.
In answer to your first point we have 10
say that II seems to US manifest injustice to
require people whose freight is hauled
fifty miles to help pay for hauling the
freight Of others JDu miles. All freight for
all distances must he paid for either by the
persons for whom the service is rendered
or by other persons who have no interest in
it and who derive no benefit from it. A
and 3 each have carload of freight. AS
freight is hauled twenty-five miles, BIS
freight is hauled 600 miles BY YOUR rule
y would nave to pay for hauling his own
carload twenty-five miles. and then he
would have to pay half the cost of hauling
BIS carload - miles. Would this not be a
disregard of all the rules OF justice and
fairness
If, as you suggest, the same charge
should be made for hauling a carload with
out reference to the distance hauled, why
do you ask us to stop lumber coming into
this state from Louisiana and Arkansas.
Have you considered fully the effect of
the adoption of the principle you advocate
in your letter of July %, and in your letter
of August 10. received to-day, II merchan-
disc is to be hauled all distances at one
price, one of the results would be TO CON
centrate the commerce Of all the country
east of the Rocky Mountains at New York
and few other Eastern cities, and to pre-
vent the building up OF commercial centers
and seaport cities in all the balance of the
Union; and TO take from the people of
Texas, as well as those from other states,
all the advantages to be derived from ac-
cumulated capital and great trade centers:
and to deprive the whole country of all the
advantages of cheap water transportation
For if commerce is TO be carried one dis
lance as cheaply as another, then ii would
all follow the railroads, and there would be
no further use for steamships for the coast
wise and lake trade. or for steamboats, for
river navigation. Your plan would destroy
every sea-coast city from the Rio Grande
to the Potomac, and make all our commerce
tributary to the Eastern cities. If the rule

NO NEED FOR ALARM IN RE-
GARD TO MONEY MATTERS.
Because There is Less Money in tho
Treasury Than Usual it Follows That
There is More in Circulation

WASHINGTON. Aug. I5.-Secretary FOs-
ter to-day made the following statement il
regard to the refunding operations and the
financial situation generally: About Sis,
100000 of AZ per cent bonds have been eX-
tended and applications have been received
covering about -, 800, 900 more. What tho
final outcome may be. of course, l do nor
know. II is probable however. that con-
siderable portion Of the balance (S30,OOO.-
0OO) will be extended. II viii be no iIard-
ship TO the treasury TO be called upon TO
pay those not extended. In fact, such pay
ment viii add by the amount paid TO tina
money in the hands OF the people.
BY the extension we succeeded in pre-
venting Il decrease of national bank notes
and in fact have 50 far increased their cir
culation nearly q, O0J, 900. The outlook is
that considerable more Of an increase Will
be effected. ] am not finding any fault with
the action Of the banks. as might be inferred
from recent publications. | saw MIR. Sher-
man at Mansfield. | always find IL prohta-
bic TO discuss money matters with him. [
do not recall a single disagreement between
US, and a statement telegraphed from Mans
field regarding our conference is 4 pure ro-
nance. While there IS less money in the
treasury than for many years past, it IS IN J.
comfortable condition. Because Of less
money in the treasury it follows that more
money than ever before is in the hands OF
the people, thus facilitating the conduct Of
the business of the country. We are on a
gold basis, and there Is no occasion Tor
alarm as 10 the ability OF the government 70
maintain this condition.
The secretary has ample power TO main
tain or increase the present reserve OF gold.
! may add that Mr.. Sherman fully agrees
with me regarding the legal power of the
secretary as above expressed. 10 not see
any occasion for the exercise of this power,
but do not hesitate TO say should the oc-
casion arise, shall not fail TO use it.''
