great injury by selling her husband liquor,
when Larkins, who is Sixth-warder, was
formerly saloon keeper.
An officer arrested her before she reached
Larkins, and thereby probably prevented a
tragedy. Mrs. Cassell was in greatly ex-

ing her skull, and Charlie hit her in the
stomach. But l hit her the death

After the murder on the train the
murderers left the train dt Lock 5

Charles and went west to Lock
port, half mile north
from the railroad, where they re-
manned until l o'clock in the after
noon, when Dyal came to this place
and took train an hour or two later,
for Orange. Large remained at
LOckport with friend where he was
caught the same day after dark. Dyer
was not captured until the following
Sunday in Orange. Both were lodged
in the parish jail, where they were
confined continuously.
On their trial Large and Dyal were
called up for arraignment to the
charge OF murder, and upon being in
terrogated by the court on the subject
of counsel to defend them, replied
that they had none and were
unable to employ any. The court
then appointed Hon. d. B. Gorham
to represent them as to their arraign-
ment. After consulting with the ac-
cused, Mr.. Gorham informed the
court that Notwithstanding his advice
as to the consequences of such a plea,
they desired to enter an unqualified
verdict Of guilty. The court refused
to receive such plea and ordered one
of not guilty to be entered, and APP
pointed Judge G. A. Fournet to de-
fnnd them.

MOTHER SIDE TO THE PICTURE

In liceusinp sisters Of charity to teach in It's
pnbic schools thc state of Texas has shown
freedom from prejudice which, we are afraid Is
Impossible for any other state in the union AT
urfaeut But as biz state as Texas Is, WIN as
Riy a DcTnOcratic IN Ority as it has, is bound to
do things in II large minded way to MAINTAIN the
dignity Of its position. st Louis Republic
The above is very nice and very
complimentary to Texas tolerance and
Texas Intelligence, but if there had
been anything ia the Texas constitu-
tion to warrant that kind of construc-
ton, the int0lerlnt, narrow-minded
element of tho state would have
raised howl and the sisters
Of charity would never have
been licensed to leach. THE STATES
MAN Is proud Of the fact that the
fundamental law of its state does not
bar any one from teaching in the pub
lie schools on account of religious or
political beliefs, but it is equally sorry
to say thai there is an element in
Texas so mtoerant, narrow-minded
and bigoted as to deny everybody the
privilege Of teaching who does not
agree with It's peculiar idea on poll
tics and religion
Of course this springs from igno-
rance aud prejudice and is taken adj
vantage OF by demagogues-and Texas
has plenty of them-who ride into
office by pandering to this element.
Texas is broad and produces many
broad-gauged, liberal-mindod, big
hearted men and women, but it also
contains many men Of more than ordi-
nary intelligence who make a bust
ness of sowing the seed of dis
content and unrest among the ignorant
and appealing to their prejudice
against the progressive methods of to-
day, who have much to answer for
and whose methods have retarded
the development of the state at least
ten years.
IT il nice to ,opk on the bright side
Of things an 20 read compliments
such as the above from a great paper,
but there is also the other side, darker
than most people suppose and it is
the duty Of the press of this state to
throw the calcium on it and rout the
nest of political vipers whose venom
is eating at the vitals of our dearest
interests.

period of middle life, but all ages

AN EXCITING COURT SCENE.
The Son of Lady Who Was Assaulted
Attempts to Kill Her 0utrager.

CAMERON, Tex, Sept. 4.-This morn
ing while Rich Greenwood, negro,
was having an examining trial before
Squire Freeman for assault to rape
a white woman, VIII Merritta, son
of the woman assaulted, walked into
the court room and commenced firing
at Greenwood. Greenwood ran into
the street, but was soon taken into
custody by Constable Chambers.
There were threats of lynching and
several pistols were drawn to shoot
Greenwood, but the officers protected
him and took him to Jail. Four sh DTS
were fired, only one of which took
effect, breaking Greenwood's jaw and
wounding his tongue. Young Merritta
was arrested, but has been released
on $500 bond.

Another innova lion has been intro

circular has been issued by him re

ton 10 the department not later liiaii

that thew viii have to do this work at

The people Of Chicago are also COM
plaining that Wanamaker, instead
of facilitating the mail service
in that city, is doing every
thing he can to obstruct it. Other
cities will soon join in the hue and cry
as it is announced from Washington
that the large mail boxes secured on
Ianp post, for newspapers and parcels
that cannot enter the ordinary deposit
box must be abandoned. The reason,
strange e. relate, is that they are SO
popular with the people that wagons
are necessary to carry their contents

must trudge with newspaper packages
