RIO GRANDE CITY, Tex, Sept. %
The following dispatch contains the
latest news of Catarino Cara, the
ill-starred Mexican revolutionist. 1t
was received at ten p. M, and is
dated Rio Grande City, Texas.
Lieutenant Manuel ,Aldrete, with
forty men of the Forth. sixth Next
can cavalry from Laredo,
left Camargo yesterday, pursuing the
revolutionists. Col. p. Cavazos, a
nephew of Gen. Cortinas, with troop
from MatamOras is also in pursuit.
Lieut.. Carter, with twenty-five men
of troop G, third cavalry, from Laredo,
reached here last evening. Lieut..
Langhorne, with troop G, Fort Ring
gold, returned from an up river scout
this morning. There is scarcely any
excitement now on either side of the
river. A reliable Mexican gentleman,
now here, says he saw eighteen revo-
lutionists at his ranch, the Santa
Lucia, twenty miles southeast of
CamargO, at 8 a. M, on the 18th
headed by G. Cara. E. Ramo, who
shot two soldiers and a policeman re-
Gently at Camargo, was with them.
They were we'll mounted and armed
with new and old winchestecs and
pistols, some double belted with cart
ridges. Cara looked iaded and bag
gard, stating that he had not slept
for five nights. They took, cooked and
ate two sheep at the Santa Lucia
ranch and then went to the
Jobalina ranch, seventeen miles fur
Their south, where they were Joined
by fifteen men. Since then nothing
definite has been heard from them.
They have no pack mules. General
Ruiz Sandoval is not with them. At
the Azucar ranch on the 10Th they
pressed thirteen horses and some
arms but got no recruits. The excite
ment on both sides of the river is
nominal. They have not numbered
100 at any time. The farce is about
closed.

A CONFLICT OF COURTS.
Gurley, Ross & Gurley's Case Presents a
Queer Aspect to an Outsider.
Special to The Statesman.

Special to The Statesman
WACO, Tex, Sept. 23.-Narious le-
gal proceedings have been published
regarding the claim of Gurley, Ross
& Gurley Of this city against the'San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass railway
for grading the branch of the road.
An injunction was first issued by
Hon. l.. w. Goodrich restrain
ing the railway from building
from Cameron to Lott I'M
til their claim for grading was paid.
Then Judge King of the Forty-fifth
| judicial district, in which court the
receivership of the road is vested, is
sued an order restraining Gurley, Ross
q Gurley from interfering with the
receivers in building the road. The
receivers then put gangs of men at
work at the east end of the gap, work
ing night and day, closing the gap.
Now the matter takes another
phase. Hon. l.. w. Goodrich
of this city has issued
an attachment for the six
foremen in charge of the construction
gangs, OrueTluS Juell W appear anu
show cause why they should not be
fined for contempt of court for DISC
beying the injunction of his court.
He has also issued an order to the
sheriff of Milan county to disperse
the mob and arrest the ring-leaders
who are engaged in obstructing the
grade, belonging to Gurley,
Ross u Gurley with ties, rails,
etc. This is an interesting
point of law coming out Of the clash
of orders of the two circuits. Judge
King holds that as the receivership is
vested in his court the claim of Cur
ley, Ross q Gurley should have been
made before him, and Goodrich is de-
termined his injunction shall be
obeyed, and he CONSTITUTES the construc-
ton gang as mob trespassing on
property.

RUSHING INTO MEXICO.
Northern Shippers Rushing Their Hogs to
Avoid the Increased Duty.

Special to The Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. 23.-Car-
load after carload of stock is rushing
through San Antonio for Mexico.
Hogs from Kansas City and other
western points are especially numer-
Gus. The object of the shippers is to
get their animals into Mexico before
the new tariff goes into operation on
Nov. /. Between that date and this
every pound of meat it is possible to
sell in the republic will be disposed
of. The new tariff so materially
raises the tariff on American meats
that northern sellers will be prac-
tically barred out. 1t is understood
that the duties were raised at the
personal solicitation of President
Diaz in order that the Mexican reel
procity commission may have an adj
vantage ground in its treating with
the United States. In the City OF
Mexico Mr.. Blaine is regarded as an
exceedingly sharp tinancier, and this
is move to circumvent him.

A LIFE FOR A LIFE.
James Fisher Sentenced to Death for the
Murder of Austin Hardy.
Special to The Statesman.

Special to The Statesman.
PARIS, Tex, Sept. 23.-James Fisher
was convicted of the murder of Austin
Hardy at Cooper today and his pun
ishment assessed at death. Fisher
killed Hardy on Sunday, July 3.
They were brothers-in-law, Hardy
having married Fishers sister. Hardy
had a little daughter 10 years old and
Fisher had endeavored to lead her
astray. About July he went to Mrs.
Hardy and told her that her husbsnd
was guilty Of incest with their own
child. She Indignantly denied the
charge. On July 4th, Fisher went to
a big barbecue and to his fathers
where he remained all night. His
father had no use for Hardy. The
next day he stole his fathers pistol
and went to Hardy's and found him
in the field. Approaching him, he
said to Hardy, that if he did not own
up to having criminal relations with
own child, he would kill
him. Hardy declined to do so and
Fisher shot him. Hardy managed
to get the pistol from Fisher, but
could not use it. Fisher gave up at
once. His defense was homicidal
mania. The people of Delta county
unanimously endorse the verdict.

Cuts His Throat.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. pa

Ex-Governor Albert p. MOrehouse
committed suicide at his residence at

heated while driving cattle and has
been in very nervous condition
since. At times he has been deliri-
Gus and very much depress-
ed. He was taken out for
a drive by some Of his friends last
night, but became so much excited
that he was brought home and a
physician was called. He Became
quieter during the night and this
morning was sleeping quietly. Two
watchers were in another room. They
heard gurgling noise in the govern
or's room, and on entering found him
lying on the floor and blood squirting
from his throat. He had cut cash
in the left side of his throat about four
inches long. The weapon was a
pocket knife, which he still held in
his right hand. He had folded up his
coat and vest and placed them under
his head.
Governor Morehouse was born in
Delaware county, o., July 10, 1885;
came to Missouri in 1856. He was a
lawyer by profession and has always
taken prominent part in Missouri
politics. He was elected lieutenant
governor on the Democratic ticket in
1884, with John b. Marmaduke as
governor. Upon the death of the lat
ter he succeeded him and took the
oath as governor of the state December
20, 1887. His wife and two of his
children are in ST. Joseph and have
not vet been informed of his death.

BOWEN'S SLAYER.
ALLEE BEFORE JUDGE KING IN HA-
BEAs CORPUS PROCEEDINGS.
A New Witness Makes His Appearance and
Swears That Bowen Fired the First
Shot-The Case Will Last
Several Days.

Special to The Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. 23.-The
habeas corpus trial of Alfred Alice,
charged with the murder of Editor
Bowen of the CotulIa Ledger, began
today before Judge w. w. King of
the Forty-fifth district court. Allee's
counsel introduced a man who
did not appear on the
original trial His name is VIM.
Stanley and he lives in Shelby coun-
ty, Tex. He swore that he was on the
train on the day of the killing and in
position to see every detail of the
tragedy. Alice entered the car and
walked down the aisle. shaking hands
with one or two friends. AS he neared
Bowen the latter raised from his seat
in stopped position, a pistol in his
hand, and fired point blank at Alice.
This was the first shot of
the ARRAY. Alice drew his wea-
pom and the killing of the
editor followed. All efforts to shake
Stanley's testimony were vain.
Gus Drefus, drummer for the
Dallas Paper company, and Justin
Harting, travelling for San Antonio
house, fatty contradicted Stanley's
testimony. They swore that Alice
fired first and that Bowie did not fire
at all. The trial will last couple OF
days longer. Alice, who has been in
iaiI since he was denied bail at the
preliminary examination in Pearsall
is pale with his long confinement, but
is otherwise mistaken. His wife and
children are here.
