THE FRENCH FLEET.
Some BAD Maneuvering Yesterday with
British War VesselS-Meeting of Ad-
miral Gervais and the Queen.

PORTSMOUTH, Aug. 2l.-The French feet,
in taking position between the two lines of
British warShips off Spithead this morning,
preparatory to the naval review. maneu-
vered badly, and were swung broadside by
the current.
At p. m, when the signal to dress ship
was given, all the British war vessels
suddenly broke out their bunting, flying
masses of bright flags of all shapes and
many colors. The French feet also dressed
ship. IN due course of time the
royal yacht Victoria and Albert, aboard of
which was the queen. accompanied by
The royal yachts Albert and Osborne,
oy a number of private yachts, and by
several steamers loaded with pleasure
seekers, started for Spit head to oreview
the fleets. When the Victoria and Albert
entered the line of Iron-cladS, royal salutes
were fired from the British ship, and as the
royal ships approached the French squad
ron, the vessels composing it also
Numbered out royal salutes. After pass
ing down one line of British and French
war vessels, the Victoria and Albert
returned up the other, and 4 similar
brought up alongside the French
Flagship. Marengo. The French COM
mander-in-chief Admiral Gervais, then
went on board the royal yacht and paid his
respects to the Queen of England. Ad-
miral Gervais was received by her magesty
in most affable manner. The
admiral and queen conversed together for
some time, exchanging international COM
plinents of the usual order, and then the
admiral returned aboard his flag ship. The,
Victoria and Albert continued her
slow steaming through the lines
and that ceremony completed the
warships again belched forth another series
of royal salutes. While these last salutes
were being fired by the British and French
warships. the royal yacht steamed back to-

ASSAULTED A CHINAMAN.
Two Denison Negroes Want the Hard
Earned Savings of Celes-
tial.
Snecial 10 the Gazette.


DENIsoN, GRAYSoN COUNTY, TEX. Aug.
21.-Early Friday morning dastardly at
tempt was made upon the life of a Chinese
laundryman, engaged in business on Austin
avenue, by two unknown negroes. The
Chiuaman has been doing business in the
same stand for more than two years. and is
an industrious, peaceable fellow. BY close
living, as is characteristic with the Chi
nese, and fair business, it is supposed he
has accumulated considerable money,
which was also supposed to be secreted
within the walls of his humble shanty
About 1 o'clock this morning he was awak-
ened by noises in the house, and before ne
could reach a place of security two ne
groes, armed with clubs, jumped upon him
and dealt him several severe blows. He
struggled manfully and cried for help, and
succeeded in frightening his murderous
visitors away before they had an oppor-
tunity to make 4 search for the hidden
treasure. This morning the Chinaman was
found in 4 bad condition. being terribly cut
and bruised about the head. His injuries,
it is thought, Will not prove fatal. The po-
lice are doing their utmost to gain clew to
the guilty parties.

ANOTHER SCHEME.
THIS TIME 1T is TO BULL THE
COTTON MARKET.
Trust Companies to Hold One-Third of the
Crop for One Year and Put the
Price Up to 10 Cents.

COLUMBIA, s. c., Aug. PA scheme,
the main object of which is to save the
present crop of cotton from being sacrificed,
has been formulated i'll this city, and is 10
be at once pushed through all the cotton
growing districts. The scheme WAS origin
rted by farmer, f. NJ. StOebes, and will
be put into active operation by the Alliance,
which has already approved it. The
scheme proposes that trust companies with
a capital from $40, geo to $4,000 each shall
be formed i'll every county in the cotton
belt. These companies shall receive as
subscriptions One-third of the COTTON crop
CT the members. So firmly are these trust
companies to be bound that the cotton thus
placed in their trust can positively not be
touched for a year. At the expiration of
that time the companies will be dissolved
and the cotton held in trust be returned To
its owner. BY this means it is calculated
to hold the cotton supply for this year down
to about 6.5000O0 bales. and consequently
bring the price up to about 10c per pound
instead of DC as the present average.

Local Notes.

About 30 O'Clock this evening a man
fell into the new sewer trench being dug on
Elm street The distance to the bottom is
about twenty-five feet. The man was taken
out senseless and terribly cut about the
head, and the chances for his recovery are
very few. He was taken TO the city hos
pital.
Yesterday while an old Quaker was wait
ing for train at the Union depot, a man
approached him and stole the Quaker'S ha.
from his head and appropriated it 10 his
own use. The man was arrested, and to-
day Judge Force fined him $50 for interior
ing with private property.

ness this morning and seemed TO know
nothing of the accident.
THE GAZETTE correspondent from Waco
visited the scene this morning. From the
appearance of things il seems miracle how
the entire seven escaped instant death. In
a talk with Mr.. Sparks he said: Il was
driving in a trot totally unaware of the
presence of train. | heard no whistle or
bell. and the freight hid the glare of the
headlight, which struck me as | reached the
track, binding my mules. and they hest
tated on the brink Of destruction, as IL
were. The train was then not over ninety
feet from me, coming al a rate Of thirty
miles an hour To go back was impossible,
and like a drowning man c-utching al a
straw | tried 10 get across, out YOU see the
result. How We escaped as we did l can
not tell
Drs. Howard and Curtis OF Waco came
out and attended the sufferers. and this
morning Miss Lane is resting well.

2l.-A terrible accident happened here last
night about 10 30 O'Clock. A camp meeting
had been in progress here, and Rev. K. G.
armstrong, presiding elder, had concluded
the services and dismissed the congregation.
They were dispensing, filled with joy and
the fear of God, feeling much refreshed
from the success the meeting is having.
Among those leaving was Mir. John H.
Sparks, farmer living near Ross on the
farm of Professor BoggesS Of Waco. He
was driving team of spirited mules to u
wagon in which were seated himself, his
wife and three children and Misses Laurie
and Araminta Lane, daughters of Mr..
Jemima Lane. widow living a neighbor to
Mr.. Sparks. AS the wagon reached the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad cross
ing, freight train was observed by one OF
the young ladies not over ninety feet away.
She screamed and jumped from the rear
end.
The screams of the lady attracted the at
tention of Mr.. Sparks. who was driving.
II was then too late TO turn as the mules
were stepping on the rails. and he whipped
up to try to get across, but was unsuccess-
full.
The train struck the rear wheel of the
wagon and completely demolished it, scat
tering the pieces in all directions, the main
part, together with the team, being thrown
forty feet, one mule being thrown over the
other.
j. H. Sparks and his wife fell near the
train, two of his sons were thrown sixty
feet. and Miss Araminta Lane was tossed
ninety feet, striking on her face. All were
more or less injured except Miss Laurie
Lane. who jumped from the rear of the
wagon when she saw the train. The follow
ing are the injured:
j. II. Sparks, sr., forehead and nose
badly skinned and legs considerably
bruised.
Mrs. Sparks, neck strained. face skinned
and lower limbs badly bruised.
John H. Sparks, jr, aged eight years, cut

ANOTHER PLAN.
A South Carolina Scheme to Put Cotton
Out of Sight in Order to Increase the
Price-How it will be Worked.
Special to the Gazette.

special 10 the 6aZetle
COLUMBIA. S. {, Aug. 2l.-An important
scheme, the object OF which IS to prevent
the present crop of cotton from being SacrI-
feed to low prices, has been formulated in
this city, and will be pushed ut once
throughout this ard all other cotton grow
ing states. f.. VI. Stoeber, d leading
farmer near Columbia, is author of the
plan 1t has received already the approval
of all Alliance officers, and a special meeting
of Richland county Alliance has been called
for Saturday to take steps to put the plan
into active operation, and it is proposed to
form trust companies. with a capital of
from $4,000 to $4,000 each in each
county in the entire cotton belt,
and TO receive as subscription
to the capital one-third on the cotton crops
made by each cotton raiser. It is proposed
to bind these trust companies so firmly
that cotton placed in their trust may be
considered as if not in existence or de-
Stroyed for the next twelve months. AT
the expiration of that period the cOmpa-
MES are to dissolve and return the cotton
held in trust to the owners. By this means
it would be possible to hold the cotton
supply for this year down to about $500,
000 bales, and consequently bring the price
up to ABOUT 10 cents per pound. II is calcu-
lated that under the present prices the
farmer, whose crop is nine bales of 500
pounds each, at cents per pound would
receive only s210. whereas if throughout
the whole cotton belt about one-third OF the
cotton should be withdrawn from he market
for one year his plant at 10 cents would
bring him $500, and leave three bales with
which to start next years crop The first
trust company will be organized in this city
at once, and after the plan shall have been
indorsed by the Alliance, which is said to
be foregone conclusion, necessary steps
will be taken to extend the movement
throughout the cotton belt.
