couraging demand.
The financial outlook is clearer. Ex-
ports of merchandise from New York
for the past two weeks have exceeded
those of the same weeks of last year
by more than so per cent, while in i'm
ports there appears to be decrease of
about 20 per cent. The opening of
Germany and Denmark to American
pork products has lifted the price of
pork so cents per barrel. With the
greatest crops ever grown, and the
Unprecedented foreign demand for
grain and meats, the prospect must
be considered as unusually encourage

A FEMALE SHOOTIST.
A. M. KRICK SHOT AT THREE TIMES IN
A DALLAS STREET CAR.
He Was in the Act of Seating His Wife
When Another Woman Opened Fire-He
Then Turned and Fled While More
Bullets Came His Way.

Special to The Statesman.
DALLAS, Tex, Sept. 11.-This after
noon lively shooting scrape took
place on a North Dallas electric car
near the edge of the city. A Nj. Krick,
a Lamar street fruit dealer and con-
fectioner, entered the car with his wife
He was seating his wife when u
woman seated opposite them in the
car pulled revolver and shot at
Kricll three times in rapid succession.
krick ran from the car, the shootist
after him, firing four more shots at
the fleeing man. All the shots, how
ever, flew wide Of their mark. Mrs.
krick also left the car and soon after
came back to the city. She went to
her husbands place of business and
asked for her husbands revolver with
an intimation that she wanted to shoe
someone. The pistol was refused her
she was persuaded to 90 to her home.
The woman who did the shooting
turned out to be May Adams. A
warrant for her arrest was issued this
evening and given to constable to
execute. Krick would not talk about
the matter and the public has its own
ideas as to the cause Of the assault to
murder.
The city is badly in need of water,
owing to the break down at the Turtle
Creek pumping station. Today there
is scarcely any water throughout the
city, and in case fire should occur
there is no foreseeing the result. 1t
is expected that at least a week will
be necessary to repair the pump so as
to get it to work. In the meantime,
the city will have to depend entirely
on the small pumps at the Browder
Springs pumping station for all the
water used.

Bart III. Reed was killed here TODAY
at l:3O p. m. by City Marshal A. II.
Partin. Reed was horse trader and
has been in the city about two months
during which time he has been In
many difficulties. Shortly after he
came here he bought out the
Alliance Wagon Yard which no
run, also the Gulf boarding 6ouse, the
latter being the cause of his death.
owing to the bad reputation the house
had gained under the management OF
Reed, which caused the grand Jury to
make an investigation. This Reed
ala not like, and as proof of same lie
gave County Attorney Maxwell
thrashing and swore vengeance
against the whole body. Yesterday
he sent Marshal Partin word that he
was going to kill him, over
which statement they had some
words, and which was settled i'm
an unsatisfactory way This evening.
about 1:30 o'clock, Marshal Partjn
was standing in Wilson'S saloon talk

the house. He wore o large belt filed
with cartridges, and in calm. do

sheriff, w. p. Watt, who placed him
under $4,000 bond, which was made
IN minute with thirteen names OF
the best men in Ellis county. The
grand jury is now in session and it is
generally thought they win not find a
bill.

was at work in the saloon, caught a

F0RP WORTH'S 70 Err.
ROBINS N's F0RGERIEs LARGER THAN
AT FIRST EXPECTED.
His Scheme Was Very Ingenious One Of
Raising Figures and One that Was Hard
to Nothing Known as to
His Present Whereabouts.

Special to The Statesman.
FoRT WORTH, Tex, Sept. TO-
Within the last few days some addi-
tioual light has been thrown on the
career Of Charles Robinson, the erst-
while head bookkeeper in the Merch-
ants National bank. Not until re-
ocutly vas the extent of his shortcom-
ing- nd defalcations known. The
bank otficials thought that $1,000 would
cover his Indebtedness to the bank
and his amount was attrib-
uted to an $50 draft. How
ever. it was thought advisable
to 90 lack over the accounts of the
bank md verify the books. When this
was done, it was proved that Robin
son had, by a course of ingenious
work. defrauded the bank out of
$1,000. His method was to procure a
draft from the exchange clerk for
probably one dollar and raise it to
$500 II whatever sum wanted by
him. He had no difficulty in getting
the signatures of the bank officials
Gor any amount. A. b. Smith, the
cashier of the Merchants bank was
seen md said: The amount that Rob-
jn&on occurred from the bank was in the
aighDorhood of $1,000. All Of this
was gutten in the manner that you
know. Fifteen hundred dollars of it
the hank will save on account of the
dalts not having been paid, the
figures being discovered in time to
prevent the payment. Besides this,
lobiuson was bonded in the Ameri-
nm -'urety company for $4,000, and Of
rplrse we will also secure this. You
see Ibis secures the bank for $500,
leaving it loser to the extent of $500.
b. Ned. Tate, the bank examiner, who
has lad the affairs of the bank in
charge since the suspension, was pres
i,i and said that the extent of Robin
sons forgeries were not known
until three OF four days ago.
That at the first it was
t,ou@ht that he had only
o,Crdr awn about $1,000, but when the
looks We're gone back over and veri-
fed, the forgeries were found, skill
tally executed. In many places fig
ares lad been changed by the whole
Fajo. Mr.. Tate said that RObinson's
methods were extremely ingenious
aud N a measure were original and
very hard to detect. Mr.. Smith said
that Is to Robinson's whereabouts he
knew nothing, but that every effort
would be made to effect his capture.

THE TEXAS TRUNK RAILWAY.
BY an Order of Court this Road is Turned
Over to Receiver Dillingham;.


Special to The Statesman
DALLAS, Tex, Sept. 12.-Another
move has been made today in the
Texas. Trunk railway middle. On
the 10th inst. Chas. Dillingham; was APP
pointed receiver of the road by United
States Circuit Judge Pardee, and filed
n the United States court here an APP
plicatiOn of possession. The applica-
ton stated that the road was held by
Sheriff Lewis of this county, and
james Moroney, a receiver recently
appointed by Judge Burk of the Four
teenth district court, and that he
wanted possession under the
order issued by Judge Pardee. Judge
Mccormick issued an order for the
defendants to appear before him this
morning and show cause why they
should not turn over the road to Chas.
Dillingham;. Both sides were repre-
sented in court and the motions
heard, after which the Judge rendered
his opinion that the levy made by
Shelf Lewis on August 80 was not a
legal levy, and as the appointing of
Chas. Dillingham; as receiver was
legal and before the appointment of
James Moroney, that the road and its
effects must be turned over to Re-
ceiver Dillingham;. The defendants
gave notice Of an appeal.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. H.
News from Rio Grande City, Texas,
says that eX-County Judge McCabe,
of Hidalgo county, has been re-arrest-
ed in the city of Victoria, Mexico, and
is now in Jail there. McCabe is the
man who was involved in the sensa-
tiOnal and political troubles ola year
and halfago. 1t was his eighteen
year old wife, Inez, who shot and
killed Judge Stein on the public
square at Reynosa, Mexico, stating
that he had attempted her
virtue. Both McCabe and his
wife were arrested. The
woman escaped from jail at
Matamoras and broke her ankle in
the feat. She is now on her fathers
rancho on this side Of the river. Me-
Gable, who was confined elsewhere,
also escaped, but venturing back into
Mexico was recaptured. The next
feature of the sensational affair will
probably be visit by the wife to Vic
toria in an attempt to rescue her hus-
band. The couple are young, well
educated, brainy and thoroughly
dauntleSS,

success intended is probably very near
the truth. 1t may be too much to say, as
do the Chinese officials and leaders, that
the missions have failed of their purpose.
but it is certain that after more than
sixty years of effort to effect a permanent
foothold for Christianity among the Chi
nese there has not been the encouraging
achievement that was anticipated. We
do not believe that in the next half CEN
tury there will be more of an advance
if the missions are maintained. The at
titude Of the Chinese toward these insti-
tutions is now very hostile; that the mis-
sionaries incite revolt, as the educated
Chinese claim, is not true. No evidence
of such influence is cited by close OBJ
servers. But the charge serves the pur-
pose of those who make it, to embitter
the Chinese against foreigners. The tone
of the English press is belligerent and
the demand is made that Great Britain
cease diplomatic endeavor and compel
China by force Of arms 10 observance OF
all treaty rights. The Chinese Imperial
party probably desires these demands TO
be made with some show Of coercion, for
it will tend to strengthen the Imperial
lists and to bring the Chinese now disaf-
fected back to their allegiance to the Tar
tar dynasty.

THE best evidence that domesticity is
declining among working women is that
poor women do not seek TO learn house
keeping arts, but prefer slavish labor in
stead. Thus, domestic service is the best
paid, often richly paid, is most in de-
mand and least in supply, and is the
more Independent, healthful and val
liable. But, says the Illinois Labor Com
missioner, Notwithstanding the hard
ships of factory life, the long hours, con-
stant work, close, hot quarters. small
wages, tyr&nnical masters, the fines. the
imposition, the coarse company often,
and the miserable resorts known as
home, if one puts up sign, "Hired Girl
Wanted" he viii not get half a dozen
responses, to hundreds that will apply if
in q factory window is placed the placard
Girls Wanted" And this, despite the
fact that the latter, with all discomtorts
added, will get but S2 week, while the
poorest domestic viii get 81 week, have
a comfortable home, good food, no ex-
penso for washing, fuel or board, and
will not have to labor nearly so hard as
does the factory woman. Yet this strange
contrast is due wholly to sentiment-a
false sentiment that domestic service is
some grades below the level Of factory
slavery. The working women of the day
need a Moses to lead them out Of bondage.
