AFTER AN ILLNESS OF ONLY TEN DAYS
HE PASSES AWAY.
One of the Receivers of the International
and Great Northern Railroad, He
Leaves Many Friends to
Mourn His Death.


Special to The Statesman.
TYLER, Tex, Aug. 30.-Col. II. r
Bonner OF the banking firm of Bonner
~ Bonner, and one of the receivers OF
the International and Great Northern
Railway company, died at his home
in this city at p. m. today of kidney
affection, after an illness of about ten
days.
TYLER, Tex, Aug. 31.-Col. T. r.
Bonner was buried this evening, the
funeral being the largest ever seen in
this city. Business was totally sus-
from 8 to o'clock, every house in the
city closing up, without exception.
The banking business of Bonner g.
Bonner, Of which he was a member,
will be continued without Interrupt
ton, as his will provides for his widow
to take his place in the same.
1t is not thought that the vacancy
in the receivership of the Interna-
tional and Great Northern will be
filled, as the following, made public
today, will doubtless discontinue it in
the next forty days:
Jay Gould VS.. International and
Great Northern Railroad company.
1t is ordered that this case be set
down for peremptory call on Oct. 81,
1891, it being Wednesday of the sew
enth and last week of the district
court of Smith county, at which time
all parties at interest will appear and
show cause, if any, why the receiver
ship should not be terminated; at
which time, also, the owners of the
property will make themselves known
through their proper and legally con-
stituted officer, so that arrangement
may be made to turn overthe property
at an early day to such officers. At
which time the receivers, Messrs.
Bonner and Campbell will have pre-
pared for submission report of the
trust in their hands.

D1Az'S HOLD TREMBLING
HE is SAID TO BE THE BALMACRDA M
MEXICO.
All Sorts Of 0utrages Have Been Keanes
Upon the People By This Modern
Despot and Revolution
Is Imminent.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 31.-A speciar
dispatch from San Francisco to the
lnter-Ocean says: Private advices
from the City of Mexico state that the
outcome of the war in Chill is
anXiously awaited in Mexico and in
case the insurgents win, the result
Will hasten revolution now smould-
ering in the land of the Aztecs. The
letter, which comes from an old and
prominent citizen of the City of Mex
leo, says that Diaz is in truth the Bal
maceda of Mexico, and that he is
guilty of nearly the same offenses
against human liberty as Balmaceda.
Like the president of Chill, Presi-
dent Diaz has had career of tyran-
ny. He has suppressed all public
meetings and all newspapers antago-
nistlc to him. He has collected taxes
and disbursed public money without
authority. He has throttled free
speech and free press in Mexico and
has put to death half score of MeXi-
con journalists. 1t will not be many
days before a serious blow will be
struck by the people against the
dictatorial reign of Diaz. In further
ing his personal interests Diaz is
charged with combining with
foreign capitalists and accepting
brides from foreign corporations
in return for valuable concessions
While he has become a man of great
wealth, the people of his republic
have grown poorer. AS a leader of
the imperial party and as against the
clericals, Diaz has gradually become
more and more unpopular with the
masses who are Catholics and mem
bers of the clerical party. The fact
that the natives are with the clericals
makes the antagonism to Diaz over
whelming. Ever since the marriage
of Diaz to an American Protes-
tant the wrath Of the masses
has been nursed, but has
grown until now it can be kept within
bounds no longer. During the past
few days important military changes
have taken place, and Diaz, who
reads the handwriting ON the wall, is
preparing to put down any insurrec-
ton that may take place. The cleri-
calls, however, pay no attention to
the movements of the military, for
they outnumber the military of Diaz
ten to one. Diaz has been politician
in appointing his personal friends as
governors Of the different states, and
in each state Diaz has been
given absolute control of the militia
in his provinces. Diaz and his
followers who are in hopeless minority
are in reality trembling in the balance
and the situation has grown so crit
ical during the last few weeks, that
strict guard is kept, and at the first
sign Of an outbreak, Diaz proposes to
slaughter the revolutionists in way
which ne hopes will awe and terroriZe
the great mass of natives who are
against him. There seems to be no
outcome to the present critical condi-
ton Of affairs but bloody revolution.

rebuilding and charging of the State
prison. The lease system, as now
operated, yields the state 500 600 per
annum, and if it is abolished the tax
rate of the state must he increased.
There is a strong sentiment among
the members of the assembly
against the change. The mill
tary laws are to be changed
so as to give the executive more power
in emergencies like that at Briceville.
The criminal laws are to be revised so
as to send fewer offenders to the peni-
Tertiary, probably establishing the
whipping post for misdemeanors, and
establishing a house of correction for
youthful offenders. The election laws
which were left in faulty condition by
the regular session will be corrected.
a committee representing the miners
of the state will be in constant atten-
dance during the session, their object
being the abrogation Of the lease sys-
tenn and the passage Of such laws as
will keep the convlcts from being sub
leased to any mining company that
will pay for their services.

less discussion in the columns of the
Century of the treatment of prisoners
of war by Federals and Confederates
during the late unpleasantMess. Quite
a number of Northern and Southern
papers have been drawn into the con-
troversy. 1T is high time that pot and
kettle ceased to twit each other about
their compilations. The Confederates
did not always have sufficient food fol

TWO MORE BODIES.
Mayor Grant While Examining the Ruins
Makes a CHASTITY Discovery.

New YORK, Aug. 31.-Mayor Grant,
while on a visit to the Park Place
ruins at noon today, discovered the
charred remains of two bodies in the
vault under the sidewalk. Orders
were issued to clear away all the
debris ut once.
The bodies recovered this morning
are believed to be those of Abraham
Derkeuertsch and Belitz, both en-
ployed in Rosenfields & Bro. bronze
leaf factory.
The first body discovered, supposed
to be that Of A. Derkeuertsch, was not
much burned, although at first it
looked to be. The second body is
thought to be that of n man named
BelitZ.
The news that two more bodies had
been found in the ruins created sur
prise and Indignation in all quarters,
Although there were a number of pcO-
pie still missing, who were reported
by their relatives and friends to have
had business in the fated building, it
was positively stated by Chief Reilly
that there were no more bodies in the
ruins. The search will be continued
now until it is certain no more bodies
are buried in the debris.
This afternoon j. A. Lyman, who
has done much good work for the cor
Oner, took lantern and made thor
ough exploration Of all the vaults I'M
der the sidewalk but could find no
other bodies.

IT is thought that the Legislature OF
Tennessee, now assembled in special
session, will establish the whipping
post for misdemeanors. OF course, if
it does so, a cry will go up from the
sickly sentimentalists, but the pocket
book of the taxpayer will assume a
more plethoric appearance. Texas is
supporting hundreds of bummers and
beats in her county jails who should
be roundiy tlogged and turned loose
to hustle for their hash.

Special TO The Statesman.
FORT WORTH, Tex, Aug. 31.-Mat-
ters ut the Merchants National bank
are likely to soon be in running order.
A meeting was held in the presidents
room this morning for the purpose of
determining what course to pursue with
reference to recognizing and resum-
ing business. A resolution was Of
fered and adopted reducing the CAPT
tai stock to S250,000 and placing the
surplus at $4,000. A second resolu-
ton was offered and adopted call
ing for the resignation OF
ali the old officers and all of the old
directors, and providing for the cleo
ton of an entirely new outfit before
business is resumed. Before the bank
resumes business there will have to
be deposited in the vaults, subject to
check of former depositors, the full
sum of S250,0OO, which will be more
than enough to pay all depositors.
The meeting adjourned over until
Thursday when it is supposed the
final arrangements for resumption
of business will be made.

SULPHUR SPRINGS, Tex, Aug. 30
Weaver & Wilson's mammoth furni-

night about l o'clock. The fire de-
partment was prompt, but the flames
had gained such Roadway that it was
useless to try to extinguish them. Sew

Treaty was not rejected, but the gov

is more than the government can
afford. The Venezuela govern
