Mrs. Newberry, Who Killed Her Three
Grand Children Again on Trial.
Special to the Statesman.
CLEBURNE, Tex, Nov. 3D. The
readers of The STATESMAN will no
doubt remember the sensational murd-
er of the three children by the grand
mother in this county last year. The
murderess was Mrs. Mary Newberry.
The children were found in the back
yard near the doorstep of
their grandmother's house with
their Threats cut from ear
to ear. They were boy and two
girls, aged three, five and seven. The
county was considerably stirred over
the murder Mrs. Newberry was tried !,
found guilty, and given a life sen.
tence. Owing to bad verdict
a new trial was granted. Pending
the trial Mrs. Newberry was brought
before the county court and de-
clared insane by expert testimony.
She was sent to the Terrell asylum
today and Sheriff Rogers brought her
back to this place and she will be
tried during this term of court. 1t is
not known whether she has zen
cured OF not, but it is supposed she
has been.

The Quickest Way to Cure a Cold.

Do you wish to know the quickest
way to cure cold? We will tell you.
To cure a cold quickly, it must be
treated before the cold has become
settled in the system. The first symp-
toms of a cold is dry, loud cough
and sneezing. The cough is soon fol-
lowed by watery expectoration and
the sneezing by profuse watery dis
charge from the nose. In severe cases
there is thin white coating on the
tongue. What to do? 1t is only nee
essary to take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in double doses every hour.
That will greatly lessen the severitti
of the cold and in many cases wild
effectually counterfeit it, and cuer
what would have been a severe co l

Lead Purer and Better Lives
Special 10 The Statesman.

Special 10 The Statesman.
GALVESTON, Nov. 24.-The cotton
exchange, public schools and offices
were closed and virtually all business
of commercial character was sus-
pended. Thanksgiving services were
held in many OF the churches in the
morning, the revivalists holding
forth in the First Baptist church,
where Rev, Stewart preached an able
and appropriate sermon, followed by
Sam Jones in one of his characteristic
talks. This afternoon services were
held for the children at the tabernacle
and Mr.. Stewart talked to the little
folks in feeling and eloquent man
ner. At the conclusion of his discourse
many of them came forward and gave
him their hands as pledge that they
would try to lead Christian lives. To-
night Sam Jones preached to mon
only at the tabernacle. Fully 5000
were present and as he said last night
he would make fur fly and this he did
most effectually and in doing it he
did not mince his words or consider
his language. He told them plain
truths in plainest and most
emphatic terms and made such
a powerful impression on his vast
audience that at its close, in response
to his impassioned appeals for them
to turn from the evil of their ways,
fully two-thirds of the vast audience
arose to their feet and thus expressed
their determination to turn over a
new leaf and lead better and purer
lives. The great revivalist was at
his best and men who scoffed at his
efforts when he first came left his
meeting tonight his friends.

Brought Converts.

GALVESTON, Nov. 23.-The interest
in the revival grows apace. AT the
morning service at 10 o'clock at the
First Baptist church Rev. Sam Jones
preached one of his characteristic and
impassioned sermons to large audi
,ence. Services in the afternoon at
press tabernacle were conducted by
Rev. Stewart, who delivered an able
and feeling discourse to a large audi
ence, many of whom were deeply af-
fected. Tonight crow d of not less
than 1000 assembled at the tabernacle
to hear Jones. When The services
were about to commence crash
ing noise was heard In
the rear and verybody turned to see
what had Mapped, but were requested
to keep quiet. Sam Jones arose and
said: 81 understand boy was quite
badly injured there by seat six feet

beneath the ruins. Now, | do not

in North Carolina when an electric

for $4,000. | am not an accident
insurance policy, and if | fell off a
platform l would have just as much
right to sue anyone in this audience as
that man had to sue me. So look out
for yourself"
Sam then announced that tomorrow
night lie would preach to men only,
and promised to whoop it up lively for
them. That if they mad any rotten
eggs ON hand TO bring them along, for
he was going to make both blood and
hair fly. TO the colored men
he said: If you know any mean
Ioan bring him along if you have got
to tie him. That some colored people |
wait social equality but it won't do, !
and that he was going to give a lee
ture to colored people bye and bye.
That the two races do sometimes mix,
but they mix at the bottom and every
body knows it. 1t is only the low
down white trash and the lowest
black trash that want to do the
mixing. With similar PREDATORY re-
marks the services were begun. After

the meeting by talking last night and
charged the ushers to see that it was

to it and he would fire 'em.
He announced his text from the
twenty-ninth chapter and first
verse of Proverbs, "He that be-
ing often reproved and hardeneth
his neck shall suddenly be destroyed
and that without remedy"
From this he preached an impas-
stoned sermon, full Of apt and telling

sary it was for all to lead pure and
holy lives, so that if death came sud- {
denly they could meet his '
cold embrace without shud-

strong appeal for all those to come
forward who desired change OF !
heart and give him their hands, to
which hundreds responded.

to his feet, picked up brick and ran
after Mosley, whom he struck over the
head. Again Mosley fired and Ely

ground and drew knife and Just as
the steel touched the skin two men
jerked Ely away. Ely's wounds are
fatal.

A VIGOROUS KICK.
The People Of Del Vale Declare War Against
Reckless Shooting.


The good people of Del Vale have
suffered long and patiently from reck'
less hunters from the city, who some.
times cripple stock in pastures and
several houses have been struck by
stray shots. The people have not
wanted to invoke the aid of the law
in defense of their lives and property,
but the annoyance has become so
great that they will be compelled to
do so if it is not stopped. Last Mon
day night a meeting was held and the
resolutions given below speak for
themselves:
THE RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, our property rights have
been endangered, our peaceful enjoy
ment of the Sabbath dislu, bed and
lives and limbs jeopardiz Il by the
reckless and willful shooting by
hunters, who have chosen to disregard
the rights of our citizens and to violate
the penal statutes of this state by un-
lawfully hunting on Sunday; and
Whereas said hunters have violated
the laws of the state by hunting in
posted pastures and farms contrary to
the wishes and rights of the owners,
and, the criminal laws of the state
affords ample redress for such offenses
when properly and promptly en-
forced;
Therefore, be il resolved, by the
citizens OF Del Vale, Texas, in body
assembled, that we hereby bind our
selves to prosecute to the full extent
of the law any and all offenses here
after committed against said laws o.
the state.
Resolved, further, that a copy o.
these resolutions be furnished THE
AUSTIN DAILY STATESMAN and the
Austin Globe for publication in order
that the Sunday hunters and Other
violators of the law may know the
feeling of this community and govern
themselves accordingly.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

1t seems we'll nigh impossible to re-
press the swelling tide of local politics,
though the leaders on both sides are en-
deavorIng to put off the beginning of
the final work as long as possible. The
air is SO surcharged with the national
and state fights that local politics cannot
be entirely ignored. One thing that
contributes largely to this situation is
the unusually large number of candi-
dates on both sides for every Office to be
filed at the coming election. Never in
the history of Ramsey county has there
been such greedy rush for political
honors. The fact that the county
is reliably Democratic will &C.
count for the scramble on that side
of the fence, while the Republicans are
now relying on the result of the city
campaign to pull them through. In
this both sides are reckoning without
their host. The Democratic candidate
who relies solely on simple party
strength, without personal fitness and
capacity, had better spend his time hoe
ing corn: while the Republican who
thinks the election of Wright means
anything in his favor now is helpless
imbecile. Many Democrats were in
toXicated with the idea of reform and
voted for Wright, but they are now eX-
periencing the sore head necessarily
Incidental to every drunk and are sorry
they ever did il. If Col. Wright were
to run now. he would be showed under
by the Disguised votes of those who
were his warmest adherents in the
spring.
With equally good tickets, the Demo-
Gratis will carry the county by hand
some majority, and the Republicans
can only hope to win through some
blunder, as the Democrats nominating
ticket of men who have only the party
strength to depend upon. A strong
Democratic ticket means big Demo
cratic majority, and he mistakes the
temper of the Democratic party today
who thinks that any but Strong and
clean men have any chance for nominal
ton. The party has had a lesson, and
prefers hereafter to do its own wedding
out. Men will this time attend
the primari Ind convention who have
hitherto LETT such matters to the heel
ers and bosses, and no name can come
before either without the closest Scru-
tiny. A lot OF very Indifferent timber
is now under public discussion, but it

MERRIAM PARK GAS.
"A Correspondents Who Thinks Gas

A Correspondents Who Thinks Gas
Should Be Put In.
To the Editor of the Globe.
ALLOW me to correct the article in
Thursdays paper headed "Grasping for
Gas" which is incorrect in about every
particular. Gasoline lamps cost our city
S14 per year, and gas lamps do not cost
S3S per year. If the city replace the
gasoline lamps in Merriam Park with
gas lamps, they will not, as stated, still
have to pay for both, as it is not pro-
posed to light by gas until the present
contract for gasoline lamps has expired,
which will be Feb. /. 1898. 1t is true
that the gas company dOnot want to ex-
tend their mains for mile and half
to two miles in territory in
which there is not a single private con-
sumner, IN order to reach Merriam Park :;
but it also true that they have always
expressed Willingness to do so if the
city would allow them to replace the
few gasoline lamps on their proposed eX-
tension TO the Park with gas lamps.
This can be done as outlined above at
very little increased expense to the city.
1t is also true that the residents of the
Park not only want the gas for house
Illuminating and cooking, but they par
ticularly desire it for street lighting,
and as they are taxed their full proper
ton for public lighting, they cannot see
why they are not as fully entitled to
tine best as any other part OF the city
while it is not ''taxation without repre-
seDtation," yet it is taxation without a
fair prop ortion of the benefits.

And the Custodian Is Ordered to
Throw Him Out
The joint city hall and court house
committee held special meeting yes
terday for the purpose of bouncing NJ.
A. Smith and his news. stand from the
corridor of the building. Mayor Wright
and other Republicans were in high
dudgeon because Smith has heretofore
diSregarded the wishes Of the reformers
in clearing his stand out of the build
ing. On the other hand, Mr.. Smith
is inclined to think that the
mayor and a few aldermen do
not own the building, In which the
county has half interest, at least, and
insists Oh serving sut his tenancy under
the law. A resolution was passed yes
terday directing the custodian to re-
moyeSmith and his stand at once. At
the suggestion OF Mr.. Mitsch the custo-
dion was asked to defer the matter of
fOrcible election until this morning.
Nh. Smith claims that the custodian has
no legal right to eject him and that the
action of the committee, in its present
shape, is imperative. 1t is very doubt
full if the custodian and the present &C.
cupant of the stand will agree upon
peaceable terms of surrender, and if
force is reSorted to there will be a suit
for damages against the reform end of
the building.
