COLORADO, Tex, April 5.-A fatal
shooting affray occurred here last
night, little after ~ o'clock, in front
OF the Senate saloon. 1t appears that
City Marshal Gooch, who had been
drinking, drew pistol, and when
George Bell and Tom Powers at
tempted to disarm him he opened fire
on them. About dozen shots were
exchanged, four taking effect in
Gooch, two of which were
fatal. A party, who is known as
Happy Jack received flesh wound in
his leg from a stray shot. Bell and
Powers were arrested and at pre-
liminary hearing waived examina-
tion, each giving $4,000 bond to appear
before the grand jury. The parties
are all well known. DIR. Gooch
was in the drug business here
about six years ago. Since then
has served several term as an officer
and mashal. He leaves wife and
four children. The funeral took place
at five p. m. Tom Powers is well
known saloon keeper and stockman

GALVESTON, HOUSTON 6 HENDERSON.
Election of officers and surmis es as to Effect
on the Lease


on the Lease.
Special to the Statesman,
GALVESTON, Tex, April 5.-Atnoo
today the stockholders of the Calves
ton, Houston and Henderson Railway
company held their annual election in
the office of r. b. Hawley, secretary
of the company. There was full
representation of stock present, and
the election resulted in retiring the
old board of directors and officers and
the election of the following:
John L. Kane, Galveston, president;
b r. Baer, Houston, vice president;
James Spillane, Galveston, secretary
and treasurer. Board of directors are:
John l.. Kane, Galveston; A. Bar
dash, Galveston; Frank l.. Lee, Gal
weston; B. r. Baer, Houston; G.. w.
Gaines, Houston and Il. j. Boyles,
Houston. While this road is under a
perpetual lease to the International
and Great Northern company the
majority of the stock is held by the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway
company and the election today is
virtually looked upon as victory fol
that company and the belief is preva-
lent that if the Galveston, Houston
and Henderson railway does not pass
entirely under the control of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas railway COM
pany it will be operated jointly by
them and the Internationaland Great
Northern railway company, and
that as soon as the Missouri, Kan.
sas and Texas complete
their connections into Houston they
will run their own trains into Galvas-
ton, thereby having an exclusive all
rail line from st. Louis to the Gulf
The color of truth is given to this
theory by the presence in this city fol
the past four days of President III. @
Cross and other leading officials o
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas anC
their active participations in the elec
tion today of the officers and directors
of the Galveston, Houston and Hen
derson railway company which dispos
ed of all the Gould directors in the ole
board. Some are inclined to the be-
lief that this is move of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas Railway
company to vitiate the lease of the
International and Great Northern
Railway and get exclusive control o
the Galveston, Houston and Hender
son Railway. Time, however. will
divulge the true inwardness of the
affair. President Cross and Other
members of his party were reticen
and non committal on the subject, anC
left ON their special for Parsons, Kan
sas, at 3 O'Clock this afternoon.

Hundreds of cattle and horses have
probably perished. One freight train
has been stalled in the snow sil ce
yesterday. The fall of snow in Da-
kota is simply tremendous and In
consequence the railroads are badly
tied up. The blockade is the worst ex-
perienced in long time. Seeding
has been greatly delayed. Farmers
and all others are we'll satisfied and
the acreage will be materially increas-
ed as great encouragement is felt.
County roads will be well nigh impas-
sible for days.

Is it possible you are suffering from

know, if neglected, it invariably goes
from bad to worse, and is likely to
run into consumption and end in the
grave Here is the way of escape !:
Its makers are willing to take the
risk, and makes standing offer OF
$500 for an incurable case of this loath-
some and DANGEROUS disease. You can
get $500, or better-a cure!

Firmin, adjuster for Marx & Blum,
last Sunday morning, after seeing his
family off on the train for Groesbeck,
Texas, secured boat and started out

search has been instituted no trace OF
him or the boat has been found, and
his friends are very apprehensive that
the boat has been carried outward and
as the sea has been very rough it has
been capsized and Firmin drowned.

THE INDIANAPOLIS BOARD OF HEALTH.
After the Ammonia and Alum Baking
Powders.

alter the ammonia and Alum Baking
Powders.
Indianapolis Sentinel Dec 26
The subject of pure food, and espec-
tally the adulteration of baking
powders by che use of ammonia and
alum, is causing no little discussion.
The legislatures of New York, Min
nesota, Illinois, Georgia, Florida, etc.,
have taken up this question, and it is
attracting the attention of physicians
and boards of health throughout the
country. Our own city board of health
ordered an examination of all the
baking powders to be found in this
market, instructed DIR. Latz to make
an examination and analysis and re-
port the result to the board.
BARING POWDER ANALYSES.
City Chemist DR.. Latz transmitted
to the department of public health
lengthy communication, in which he
gives the result of his analysis of the
several brands of baking powders
that are on sale in this city. In his
report DR.. Latz says that baking
powder designated as being free from
deleterious substances may be recon-
mended, as their healthfulness cannot
be questioned. The report is as fol-
lows:
The samples of baking powders you
have sent to our laboratory for invest
igation as to the purity and healthful-
ness of the various brands have SUBJ
jected to q qualitative examination
and now report the following result:
Atlantic & Pacific contains ammonia
and alum.
Bon Bon contains alum.
Calumet contains alum.
Crown contains ammonia and alum
Early Rising (Empire) contains
ammonia and alum.
Forrest City contains ammonia and
alum
Kenton contains ammonia and
alum.
DIR. Prices free from deleterious
chemi ,als.
Queen contains ammonia and alum.
Royal contains ammonia.
Regal contains ammonia and alum.
Ruckelban's contains ammonia and
alum.
Seafoam (made by Day, Indianapo-
lis) cantains alum.
DR.. Latz says: "Physiologists OF

A Valuable Remedy. /.

Brandreth's Pills purify the blood,
stimulate the liver, streDgthed the
kidneys, regulate the bowls. They
were introduced in the United States
in 1885. Since that time over sixty
millions of boxes of Bandreth's Pills
have been used.
This together with the thousands of
convincing testimonials from all parts
of the world, is positive evidence of
their value.
Brandreth's Pills are purely vege-
table, absolutely harmless, and safe
to take at any time.

Habeas Corpus Refused

Yesterday evening Henry Collins, a
negro now in the county jail, sued out
a writ of habeas corpus, through his
attorney, Mr.. Breuggerhoff, before
Judge Won Rosenberg. His claim for
release from confinement was that he
was badly diseased and unable to
work on the county roads. The testi-
mony showed that while he was af-
flicted his ailment was not near SO
bad as he pretended, and hence his
plea was refused and he was remand
ed to Jail.

A SPLENDID SHOWING
Made of the Present Finances of the Board
Of Trade.

of Trade.
To the Stock holders and Directors of the
tin Board of Trade:
GENTLEMEN-As material improve
ment has been made in the financial
condition of the board of trade during
the last eighteen months, 1 deem it
my pleasure and duty to acquaint you
with what has been effected in that
regard.
In November of 1890, the Austin
board of trade owed in total amount
the sum of $29, 9,489.05, or say $27 800.
This indebtedness consisted Of
|. Two mortgages upon the Board
of Trade property; the first being for
S17 900 and bearing per cent per an
mum interest, and the second being for
$4, 900 and bearing per cent interest.
2. Floating debts aggregating say,
81, 500, about one-half of which was Sc
cured by the deposit as collateral of
10 per cent Board of Trade bonds,
which bonds in their turn were secur-
ed by third mortgage in total amount
of S4, 600 upon the Board Of Trade
properties. The remaining say $500
was represented by unsecured notes
or accounts of the Board of Trade,
some at per cent and some at IL per
cent per annum interest and scattered
amongst large number Of persons.
The present Indebtedness OF the
Board o. Trade is $24 4,932.15, say
$25, 900, $2500 less in actual cash than
was it's Indebtedness in November,
1890, and this total Indebtedness of
S25. 900 is consolidated and distributed
as follows:
l. A ten-year per cent mortgage
upon the Bosrd of Trade properties,
interest payable semi-annually; upon
the execution of which the three then
outstanding several mortgages were
surrendered and turned in to the
Board of Trade. This mortgage was
effected at less commission than
|21.4 per cent to the Board of
Trade, and the income from
the rental of the first story OF
the Board of Trade building come to
within $40 per annum of the total in
terest charge upon this entire bond
ed indebtedness.
The remaining $4,000 is owing prin-
cipally to few large creditors (none Of
whose claims however exceed $500
and generally speaking represents a
balance of not exceeding one-half Of
the original amount owing to them.
The present income from the Board
of Trade building can be
reasonably estimated at
$2S5O per annum, and it's in
come from dues at $500, making 8
total of $465O. The fixed charges and
regularly recurring expenses of the
Board of Trade will not exceed $250(
per annum. This would leave an ap
parent surplus of income of $3.50, re-
ducing this to $500, it would appear
to be reasonably probable that with
fair judgment, energy ano
economy the Board of Trade car
in two years pay down to it's bonded
Indebtedness of $22 ,0O0. The Board O.
Trade building, lot and properties
is now appraised by competent judges
at S45, 900. In actual cost to the BOARD
of Trade it stands at about $40, 900.
1 cannot too gratefully acknowledge
the generous support of the stock
holders and directors of the Board o.
Trade in accomplishing the foregoing
results. Respectfully,
A. p. WOODBRIDGE, President.

Last night about 1870 o'clock Night
Clerk Campbell, at the police station,
discovered that he was one prisoner
short. An investigation disclosed the
fact that the absentee was Amos
Houston, charged and convicted of
vagrancy. He had forced up some of
the planking in the floor and then
lowered himself into the market be-
meath, from which he obtained egress
by forcing his way through the west
door.
The calaboose as it now stands Is
totally unfit for combining prisoners, it
being comparatively easy matter for
a man to break his way out, and the

take some steps in the premises at
