Complaints Against Soldiers.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March 15.-The
situation on the lower Rio Grande border,
on the Texas side, is assuming a serious
aspect. Complaints from honest and
highly respected citizens concerning the
alleged unjust action of certain United
States troops continue to pour in from all
quarters to the effect that they are being
harrassed by the troops for alleged COM
plicity with Cara. Robert Summerlin,
the legal representative of all the wealthy
ranchmen who have so far been arrested,
has gone into the matter with a view to
making a strong legal fight. He has pre-
ferred very sensational charges, backed by
affidayits, before President Harrison
against Captain John Bourke.
General Schofield said today:
The war department will undoubtedly inves-
tigate the charges preferred by certain Mexican
residents OF Texas against Captain John Bourke,
Third cavalry, growing out of his conduct of
the campaign against the CARA revolutionists.
The allegations are that Bourke allowed troops
to commit depredations on the ranches OF GER
tain Mexicans along the Rio Grande because of
a suspicion that they were conniving at the
escape OF the revolutonists.

ADJUSTMENTS,
Maudge Granger in "Inherited."

HAauuSe OTau2er IN 's1nnerited."
A splendid audience witnessed the per-
Torrance of "Inherited' at the Seattle
opera-house last night. Maudge Granger
appeared as the heroine, Helen Carruth-
ers, and won genuine histrionic triumph.
The story is a sad one in the main theme,
but llghtened by pleasant scenes. The last
act especially is dramatic gem. Miss
Granger as Helen has a role that
suits her particular style of acting
thoroughly well. She is a happy girl
when the play begins. On the eve of her
marriage she is told that the faint of in
sanity runs in her blood. She has tasted
happiness and braves the curse. She mar
ries the man of her choice and IN the
course of time becomes insane and is con-
fined in mad house. By great shock to
her nervous system reason is restored. She
returns to her home and finds that her
husband has had her marriage annulled
and has married another. Her child is
ill, too, which adds another weight to
her burden of grief Here
terrible scene is enacted, which
is terminated by the unfortunate woman
leaving the house and taking her child
with her. The child grows worse, and
when at last she faints the mother mis-
takes it for death and takes poison. Too
late she finds the child is still alive and
dies in her husbands arms. Throughout
these varying scenes Maude Granger was
supremacy grand. The rest of the COM
pany we're in all respects acceptable. The
Granger combination will close its engage
ment tonight with a fine performance of
the familiar and attractive Camille"
This will require the full strength Of the
company. An exceptionally fine perform
ance it will be. Tomorrow night the Fisk
University Jubilee Singers will give con-
cert

Cordray's drew a large and fashionable
audience to that popular resort last night
The play was presented with fine effect
and general excellence The scenic exhi-
billions are gems of their kind and rebound

master of shade and color Miss Lieb ex-

Professor Bachman's Second Concert.

Professor George Bachman's second
grand concert was given last night at
Rankes hall in the presence of a large
audience. The pupils did excellent or
chestral work. The programme was full
of difficult gems. all of which were rem
dered with skill and precision by the
thirty-two young boys and girls on the
stage. The Pilgrim Chorus" by Wag-
ner, was rendered SO creditably that the
audience would not rest until the selection
was repeated. Both Professor Bachman
and his pupils merit much credit for the
success of the concert.

keeper be appointed to examine the county

GRAND OPENING OF THE TOURNEY.
Pritchard Agrees to Come to This Country
and Fight Fitzsimmons.
GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY

The big shooting tournament promoted by
Messrs E. e Shaner and Jim Crow was
commenced yesterday at Homewood Park,
and was one of the most successful opening
days of any tournament held in this State.
Entries were not only numerous, but the
shooting was of the very best quality.
There was purse of $500 for the day, but
the entries were so numerous that $278 were
added to the purse, making a total of $51S
that were shot for. This is encouraging to
the promoters and speaks volumes for the
management of the event.
There were three classes of shooters, viz. !,
the expert, the serni-expert and the ANA
teur. In the expert class William VOLS
tencroft won first prize, with an average of
SS.8 per cent, and f. d. Miller was second,
with an averege of S5.S per cent This is
good shooting, certainly. In the semi
expert class William R. Fields was first,
with an average of 49, 8 per cent, and Walter
Brooks was second, with S1.4 per cent.
But the amateur class was a surprise.
Seth Clover was first, with ali average of
$50 per cent, and ]. Fulford, brother of the
champion, was second, with an average of
S8 per cent.
The shooting to-day will be probably
more interesting than yesterday, as there
will be more money at stake. Following
are the scores:

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH.1
BRADFORD, May 3.-During severe
electrical storm this evening the Crescent
Oil Refinery was struck by lightning and
caught fire, but the blaze was extinguished
without much damage. The house of Fer
dinand Kreiner was struck by a ball of cleo
trio fire, which exploded with tremendous
force. A fire alarm was turned in but the
electrical display burned itself out without
even setting fire to the house.
Eye witnesses say it was the most re-
markable sight they ever witnessed. An
enormous electric globe of fire lodged
against the peak of the house, where it
hung, burning and splitting flashes of fire
until exhausted. Every inmate of the
place was more or less severely shocked, the
air being heavily charged. All watches
and clocks on the premises were stopped and
other electrical phenomena occurred.
In the southern part of the city a small
tank filled with oil was struck and burned.
At Mt Jewett two oil well rigs, tanks,
etc, were burned with large amount of
oil. At Ri1ford tank containing &c, 900
barrels of crude oil was struck, and is now
burning Late reports say it is burning
fiercely, lighting up the sky for miles
around. An explosion is looked for al a-y
moment, when other large oil tanks belong
ing to the Standard surrounding the tank on
fire are expected to ignite. The explosion
of a burning oil tank generally occurs when
the oil has been thoroughly heated.
A dispatch from Reading says: A lively
windstorm passed over Northern Berks
county last night The. storm was accom-
panied by vivid lightning. At Lynnport,
Solomon Hartman's barn was struck by
lightning and consumed with contents, eI-
ceptfng live stock. Loss, $780, Many fences
were blown down.
