Fatal Fall From a WindoE

CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-At an early
hour this morning an officer found a
man laying in pool of blood On the
sidewalk in front of five story build
ing in Plymouth Park. The patrol
was summoned but the man died be-
fore reaching the station. Letters
found in his pocket showed that he
was Carl Edgar Johnson, a furniture
manufacturer and he had apparently
lived in this city. The proprietor
of small hotel on Clark
street said the man registered
there last night and was assigned a
room. He left at a. m. Investiga-
ton showed that Johnson had walked
up to the fifth story in the Manhattan
building and jumped through a glass
window. He was found on the fifth
floor. JOhnson's head was crushed to
a pulp and the side wall spattered
with blood. He is supposed to have
been insane.

the special interest Of either the cattle
man, sheep grower, horse raiser or
hog producer, but for the general
good of ell. We believe this an OPP
perfume time for move of this kind;
we believe by united action we can
do much to extricate the livestock in
dustry of Texas from its present de-
pressed condition and put it on the
high road to prosperity.
The stock business of Texas and the
entire country is now undergoing a
material change and to be successful
we must take advantage of every pos
sible method of improvement in breed
ing, raising, feeding, shipping and
marketing our stock. In no way can
the needed improvements be so read
lily accomplished as by an organiza-
ton that will call US together fire.
quently, and afford an opportunity for
the free exchange of our ideas and
views. The question of quarantine,
railroad rates, commission paid to live
stock commission merchants, state
and national legislation, are few Of
the important questions that can be
discussed and acted upon with great
profit. 1t will no doubt be found nee
essary to take some united action in
regard to having our state properly
represented at the Worlds fair; in
fact all our interests can be much
better protected by united action.
All the matters herein mentioned
are of Importance to one of the very
greatest industries of the state. The
call is signed by all ten members of
the executive committee, and THE
STATESMAN hopes to see large con-
vention assembled on the day fixed,
Feb. 9. 1892.

STARVING TO DEATH.
MORE STORIES OF UTTER DEsTITU-
TON IN DURANGO.
The Government Earnestly Trying to Sup.
press the Facts-Terrible Suffering
of the People as Seen by an
Eye Witness.

SAN ANTONIO, Dec. 21.-H. r. Mar
feldt, stockman well known here,
arrived in the city today, direct from
the mountainous district in the wes-
tern part of the state of Durango, 80
miles north of Papaspuisci, where he
has ranch of several thousand acres.
He states that the reports sent out
from the City Of Mexico, denying that
there is great distress in Durango
on account of the drought are untrue
and inspired by the government
which is attempting TO prevent the
truth from becoming known. He
said:
''Last week [ travelled the entire La
guna district to Tarreon and the suf-
fering | saw would melt heart of
stone. At one village | found fully
80 families in an actual state of star
walton. All were absolutely without
food. Their crops have failed for
three consecutive seasons. Not drop
of rain had fallen for fourteen months.
| saw no deaths from starvation, but
was told several had occurred. In
credible as it may seem, the people
were actually eating dirt-the black
soil peculiar to that section-which
they moistened in their mouths. They
are not even favored by the cacti bud
and wild berries, as these are found to
the south and west of that place. There
are nofood supplies in that section that
they could buy even ifthey had money,
as it is so remote that spectators and
dealers have not reached them. WhaU
these people need is free food, and I'M
less they get it within the next week
they will have no use for help of any
kind"

CLEVER BANK SWINDLERs.
They Work Slick Scheme on Mexican
Bank

They Work a Slick Scheme on Mexican
Bank
Special to The Statesman.
Ell PAso, Tex, Dec. 2l.-The well
known banking.firm of McManus &
Son of Chihuahua was mulcted to the
extent of $4,000 on Saturday. The
particulars are as follows: A man
answering to the name of Harry Sill
verberg called at the bank, and in a
brisk, businesslike way represented
to the bank officials that he was
about to make some heavy invest
ments and would need the assistance
of the bank in drawing the funds now
on deposit in his favor with a certain
bank in New York. The bank was
willing to accommodate him, provid-
ing the bank at the other end said so.
A cipher dispatch was accordingly
sent and in due time purported an
swer came back also in cipher, au-
thorizing the Chihuahua bank
to advance Silverberg to the
amount of $4,000. A second dispatch
was sent and a similar answer
was received. Accordingly Silver
berg made his arrangements with the
bank as follows: Thirty thousand
dollars was deposited to his credit.
He drew some $4,000 in currency,
both Mexican and American. and left
instructions to have forwarded the
balance-$22, 000-to point that he
would hereafter name. The disap-
pearance of Harry Charlton; the tele-
graph operator that handled the
messages, excited suspician, and
upon the receipt of the third
telegram which denied all knowledge
Of Silverberg, it caused the, officers
to use the wires freely for the arrest
of both Silverberg and Charlton. At
Laguna officers boarded the train and
Silverberg was found in a berth. A
general search began and $9,S76 was
found. Charlton could not be found
on the train and the supposition
is that he made his escape overland.
The shortage, some $4,000, would APP
pear as the operators share of the
trouble. Silverberg was returned to
Chihuahua yesterday morning, and
his chances for long sojourn in the
land of Montezuma are good. Up to 2
p. m. today nothing has been heard of
Charlton.

LLKESINCK CONTENTION.

IL will be remembered that the
stock convention that met in Austin
last month appointed an executive
committee OF ten to pass upon future
action relative to the stock interests
in Texas. That committee met in
our city on the 18th Of this month and
decided to call a state convention to
meet in Austin Feb. 2, 1892. The OBJ
jects of the convention, as stated in
the call just issued, are. in its Ian
guage, as follows:
This convention is called to organ
ize permanent livestock association
of Texas and to take such other steps
as may be deemed necessary for the
interest and protection of the live
stock business generally. 1t is not in

A Colorado Shooting ARRAY.

DURANGO, Col, Dec. 20.-The stage
driver from Pennington brought
meagre particulars Of a serious shoot
ing ARRAY early Saturday morning at
Junction City, between two well
known young men, Chas. Willett, son
Of j. G. Willett, and young Pratt.
Friday evening there was a dance at
Junction City which did not break up
until o'clock Saturday morning after
which the young men met and engag-
ed in a quarrel, the nature of which
has not been learned. Guns were
drawn and Willett shot in the back,
and helm turn shot Pratt in the thigh.
1t is not thought he will live.

Killed Oh n Steamer.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Dec. 2O.-This
morn ng just before the steamer Coreos
Pacheco, running between this port
and Lower California, left her berth,
Steward J. A. Mackenger informed
the captain that he had killed man
and asked to be arrested. He refused
to give any particulars. On investi-
CATION G. Murrell, passenger on the
boat and a prominent citizen, was
found dead in the cabin, shot in the
neck Mackenger had three cuts in
his clothing, but no knife was found
on either of the men. The affair is a
complete mystery.

.JTIDGE KING QUIET,ED.

1t seems from the court of appeals
decision that Judge King in his Of
fort to maintain the dignity of his
court against the Bexar county grand
jury got hold of the wrong men. THE
STATESMAN certainly agrees with the
court of appeals in failing to see that
the position of district judge exempts
from q summons to appear before and
give information to grand jury any
more than if such judge were an ordi-
nary mortal. AS law officer it
would seem he should be more anx-
ious than any one else to see the law
expedited and enforced. This doubt
less is true of all district judges, only
Judge King felt outraged that the
dignity of his Office was assaulted by
being served with notice to appear
before the grand jury while he
sat enthroned in chair of state.
In his pitch of anger however
he made the mistake of not discrimi-
mating between cause and effect. He
prounced down on the grand jury as
the cause of the attachment having
been issued rather than on the i'll
time judging bailiff, who, it seems,
was the only guilty party. The court
Of appeals has now cut off the grand
jury from Judge Kings indignation,
but the poor bailiff is still left him to
make an example of.

SENSELESS BUT DANGEROUS TALK
The industrial Educator" pub.
lished at Fort Worth, appears to be
educating" in dangerous direction
One paragraph, addressed to Russell
Sage, warns him in somewhat obscure
English that he is driving human be.

him up. Another paragraph says:
"God has struck the hour of q new
and higher dispensation for America.
Shall it come in peace or through the
blood and carnage of war? The men
and women of this generation must
answers
1t is to be hoped that the people OF
Texas have too much sense to be in
huenced by such anarchistic bosh as
this. The authors of it will do well to
remember that the dynamite which
gets Russell Sage into corner merely
blows itself into space, and leaves
Sage to go on with the usual routine
of business.

One Hundred of Them Located in the Chap

paral Near Encinal.
Special to The Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec. 20.-At
least 100 of the rovolutionists Catarino
Garza's band have been located at Ala
mit'o store, So miles southwest of
Encinal. j. w. Burr, of Eagle Pass,
is in San Antonio, having just COM
pleted seventy mile horse back jour-
ney from Encinal. He reports that
these men trade constantly at
the Atlantic store and that they are
killing for consumption the cattle of
the neighboring ranchmen, making a
pretense ofpaying for them after hav-
ing forcibly taken them. 1t is be-
lieved by the people of the locality
that these men were cut off from
CARA in Mexico and driven across by
the troops. They have a corps of
musicians and preserve rude mill
tary discipline. The country is very
brushy and affords almost thorough
shelter.

SENATOR PLUMBS DEATH.

Senator Plumb's untimely taking
off so soon after the opening of the ses-
sion and while men were so absorbed
in the crowding political events will
be universally regretted. 1t has be-
come matter of common occurrence
that men prominent in politics or in
business pass away suddenly and
tragically. The active men of the day
do not rust out-they wear out, and
the final breakdown always comes
suddenly. The members of congress
doubtless little, expected that resolu-
tions of regret would so soon be in Or
der for one of their number. SEN
ator Plumb was recognized as
one of the foremost men of his
party; good man to have as an
opponent, in that he was always just
and fair, and would condescend to non
of the petty trickery which enter into
the political methods of most men
Personally he was favorite with
men of both parties, and wherever he
went men gathered about him, at
tracted by his genial manners. The
same message that carried the news
of his death carried also some specu-
lations as to the manner of man that
would be appointed to fill his shoes.
1t is to be regretted that the Kansas
legislature is not in session; as Dem.
ocrat or at least Farmers Alliance
man would doubtless be elected to fill
his place. AS the office is to be filled
by appointment, however, it is init
mated that ingalls, may go to the
Senate.

Gov. McEnery Accepts.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 21.-A commit

ator Jones, and composed of members
OF the recent straight Democratic
state convention held in Baton
Rouge last week, this morning called
upon Ex-Governor Samuel Douglass
McEnery, their nominee for governor
and at present one of the judges of the
supreme court, and officially notified
him OF his selection. Judge McEnery
expressed his willingness to accept
the nomination, and will write let
ter of acceptance in few days.

When the little steamer Hattie Gage

Arctic ocean, and not only guilty of
mutiny, but have robbed a mine, a
church and the supply depot of the
Alaska Commercial company. 1t
sailed from here last June in COM
mand of Capt. Downs for Coal Harbor.
On board were two men named Lib
hey, as passengers. At Victoria the
Libbeys tried to smuggle aboard
liquor, and row occurred. These
two men proposed sailing for cruise
in Behring Sea. They inveigled Capt.
Downs ashore and abandoned him.
Then with the mate and crew in
charge they sailed for adventures.
Stopping at a deserted village, Mich
olaski, in Alaska, they robbed the
Greek church altar; then they visited
gold mine at Little Squaw Harbor,
and took material and lumber worth
$1,000. Among the lumber was rail-
road forNcarrying ore, which they took
to Coal HarbOr and set up. The cap
tain and five of the crew are here, and
will libel the vessel for wages, while
George w. Sessions, owner of the
mine at Little Squaw Harbor, will
also libel it.
