DO their work, not Galveston printers,

MILITARY NOTES.


The enlisted men at Fort Sam Houston
were given their regular weekly hop at
the Post Exchange hall last night. The
iioor was in fine condition and a good time
was spent by all present. The cavalry
men were the special attraction, it
seemed.
The hop season is fast nearing close.
The two troops of cavalry. K and D..
are as yet not installed in their omar
ters. Everything is topsey- turvy,
and it will take the boys
several days to get things Strengthened
up little. 1t is true that their hunks
were left up and in very good order, still a
considerable rearranging will be necessa-
ry TO make things comfortable. The men
will hail pay day with shouts of joy, as
their clothes at present are not fit for
exhibition. They consider Cara very
foxy old cuss," and entertain consider
able more respect for that worthy than
they did when they left here on the I'd day
of January.
A private soldier fell off the bridge at
Eagle Pass, Sunday, while attempting to
get out of the way of passenger train
number Is. His injuries will probably
prove fatal.
Sergeant ]. W. Smith, + battery. 3rd
artillery, left Fort Sam Houston yester-
day for Hot Springs, Ark, where he will
enter the army and navy general hos
pital.

AUSTIN LETTER.
AUSTIN. Texas, March 2S, 1892

AUSTIN. Texas, March rs, 1892.
Little was done in either house today.
The house spent the morning, as it has
done for some four or five already in sue,
cession, in discussing the Page Text Book
bill.
The only other item Of Importance was
the resolution, which was passed, to post
pone the eapportionment of the state
into judicial districts until next session.
This was no doubt the wisest thing to do
under the circumstances OF having 50
short a time to consider this very impor-
tant matter.
The senate spent most of the time to
day, as Saturday, in discussing the Aus
tralian ballot bill. Charges were also
preferred against Land Commissioner
Hollingsworth, which were listened to
and considered.
1t is hardly thought these charges will
be sustained.
Last night the clerk at the Driskill
hotel saw little negro boy start up the
ladies stairway and called to him to stop.
He paid no attention to him and so the
clerk started through the elevator, which
was the shortest cut, and jerking open
the door stepped on what he thought was
the elevator, but what proved to be about
10 feet of space through which he fell
upon hard floor but sustaining little in
jury, excepting few painful bruises. 1t
is not recorded whether the negro boy
got up the stairs, but it is the natural
suppositlon that he did.
A monograph man is in town with
several instruments and has set himself
up little shop. He has one machine,
fixed up with a funnel shaped tube,
which runs all the time and is free.
You can hear the words from this several
steps away and it attracts quite a
crowd. but mostly negroes and MeXicanS
unfortunately, though the affair other
wise is quite respectable.
DR.. G. w. Max, phrenologist, is at

A gentleman from the rural districts

A DEAD SHOT.
Exploits OF the Man who Killed Three of
the Dalton Gang.

the Oahk.
CHICAGO, October 9.-"I know Liv-
eryman Spears, of Coffeyville, Kas.,
whose deadly aim put three Of the Dal-
ton gang out of the way Wednesday,"
said r. A. Dlxox, of Kansas City, to
reporter at the Palmer House. And l
can fully subscribe to all that the dis
patches say relative to his skill as q
marksman. / have been prairie chick
en- hunting with him on several occas-
sions and he invariably missed less shots
than any other man In the party. In
deed. it was so unusual for him ever to
miss a shot that when he did it was al
ways the subject OF inquiring comment.
"Spears was without exception the
quickest shot / ever saw. Repeatedly
l have seen him, when the wagon
chanced to run on and frighten up
birds, drop the reins, seize his gun and
bowl over birds while the rest OF US
seldom got more than one shot. The
rifle, however, was his favorite weapon,
and his skill with it was. truly remark
able. The only wonder TO me Is that
Spears did not kill the whole crowd Of
outlaws before anyone else had chance
to fire shot,"
A Louisville dispatch says: Frank
James. accompanied by his wife, has
arrived in this city from Dallas, Texas.
When asked II he knew any of the
members of the Dalton gang he said:
''No, do not know any OF them, but
have often heard of their raids Ia the
territory. l was sure they would be
wiped out sooner or later, as 1t is the
general end of desperadoes.

A TERRIBLE COLLISION
Between Steamers in Puget Sound
Near Seattle.
FOURKILLED AND MANY INJURED.
A Rear-End Collision in Which
One Of the Vessels is Almost
Split in Twain-Terrible Scenes
Among the Passengers-A List
of the Killed and Injured.

SEATTLE, WASH, October 9.-The
Canadian Pacific Navigation Company's
steamer Premier was struck by the
steam collier Willamette, in dense fog
off Windby island, about ten miles south
Of Port Townsend, yesterday afternoon.
Four were killed, one drowned, and sew
enteen badly wounded. The steam tug
Goliah arrived here this morning with
three Of the dead, all Of the wounded
and other passengers, after having
spent several hours in an attempt to
save from the wreck the body Of an
unknown passenger wedged in her.
The dead are: Johannes Moe, OF Ia
coma; Frank C, Wynkoop, John Ran
kin, of Seattle. Unknown passenger,
q man about forty, still in the wreck.
An unknown passenger jumped over
board and was drowned.
The injured are: Gus Davis, watch
man steamer Premier, ribs broken, seri-
ously injured internally; Thomas Foran,
Seattle, leg broken, arm hurt; w. ii.
Phillips, Helena, both legs crushed;
D. J. Wynkoop, Tacoma, slightly; Mrs.
D. ]. Wynkoop, Tacoma, slightly; G. $
Gilbert, bruised, not serious; Mrs. Will
cox, slightly; John Lysle, not serious;
E. w. Vest, st. Louis, Mo-, badly,
bruised knee and arm; Jack Levy, OF
steamer Premier, badly cut and bruised;
Mrs. Ida Sutter, Sturgis, OAK, bruised;
Mrs. George w. Miller, Tacoma, injured
slightly; E. Z. Lee, Pontiac, Wash,
slightly: A. f. Lindberg, injured in
ternallY; Francis Hughert. slightly
hurt.
The Premier left Port Townsend
about half-past one yesterday for Seat
tie in heavy fog, blowing her whistle
continuously. When off Point-No-
Point another whistle sounded close by,
and almost Immediately afterwards a
terrific crash was heard. The fore
cabin Of the Premier was smashed to
splinters aud the prov of the William
ette was found jammed right into the
bow of the Premier.
The Willamette was laden with coal
and was on her way from Seattle to San
Francisco. A steward, who was in the
saloon eating his dinner, was instantly
killed. Several other passengers were
iammed in the debris, some OF them
seriously wounded and all more or less
bruised. The stern of the Willamette
was so deeply imbedded into the Pre-
mier that the passengers scrambled
over the broken wood work and onto
the collier. The ladies were handed
up first, followed by the
wounded as fast as they could be moved.
Men with broken limbs and bleeding
faces and bodies were helped up. 1t
was soon seen to be impossible TO draw
off the Willamette without sinking the
Premier, so Captain Anderson determ-
ined to forge ahead driving before him
the steamer spiked on his bow. He
forced her back on the beach and was
so tightly wedged that he could not
back of without dragging the Premier
with him.
The tug Goliah towing out schooner
was hailed, and she took of the passen-
gers, bearing them to Seattle, where
they arrived about midnight.
