WEATHER AND CROPS.
WEEKLY REPORT OF THE TEXAS STATE
WEATHER SERVICE.
Rainfall Deficient Over the Entire State
Weather Exceedingly Hot and Too
Much Sunshine for Crops.
Cotton Fair-Corn Good.

GALVESTON, July 26.-The weekly
weather and crop bulletin ofthe Texas
state weather service, was issued to-
night for the week ending July 26. 1t
is as folIows:
WEATHER AND TEMPERATURES.
The rainfall during the past seven
days has been deficient over the entire
state, and in fact none has fallen with
the exception of light scattered
showers over the extreme south
eastern portion of the state.
The temperature has been about
average over the coast district and
generally above normal over other
portions of the state. There has been
very little cloudy weather during The
past week and sunshine has been eX-
cessive in all parts of the state.
Cotton-The warm and sunshiny
weather has been generally beneficial
for cotton. The only bad effects re-
ported are that in some Localities III
North and Eastern Texas where rain
was heavy in June causing rank
growth, the cotton shedding and in
some other localities the drouth is
causing the plant to shed. Boil worms
have made their appearance in few
localities but no damage has been re-
ported up to the present time. Cotton
is generally good and with continued
fair weather the crop will be heavy
Bolls are opening rapidly over the
southern portions of the state.
Corn-The corn crop in the counties
which reported this crop as needing
rain last week has been cut short, as
has also the corn in western portions
of the state. The proportion OF the
crop damaged is very small, and as a
whole, the crop is one of the heaviest
made for some years.
Other crops-The weather has con-
tinued unusually favorable for saving
the small grain crop, which is heavy
over the northwestern portions of the
state,

Attempt to Blow up the Imprisoned Cattle.
men With Dynamite.

OMAHA, Neb., July ga special
from Buffalo, Wyo., says that start
ling discoveries have been made at
Fort Mckinney. The soldier under ar
rest at the fort confessed that he was
hired to blow up the buildings in
which the stockmen were conflned d
when he returned from the Z. A.
Ranch. A bomb made of four two-inch
gaspipes were found this morning
under the floor. 1t contained two
sticks of giant powder and the vacant
space was filled with gun cot
ton. The soldier says he was
paid $25 in advance and was
promised $3.50 upon the compile
tion of the job. 1t was to be fired by
an electric friction tube, but he pulled
the wire too sharply and it came
away without igniting the charge.
The man called Blazer, formerly a
soldier, was arrested yesterday in con-
nection with this affair and the SUBJ
sequent burning of the cavalry quar-
ters. Special arrests have been made
at the post.

DENVER, Colo, July 26.-The first
convention of the Silver League as.
sembled in the chamber of commerce
this morning for the purpose of nomi.
mating full state ticket together with
four presidential electors. There
were about 900 delegates present. d.
H. Slater, president of the State Silver
League, has published letter in
which he recommends that the con.
vention nominate electors pledged to
cast their vote for no candidate who
does not publicly declare himself in
favor of free and unlimited coinage OF
silver. They hope by this means to
force either Harrison or Cleveland to
declare themselves, and in case they
do not they expect to carry Colorado,
Idaho and three or four other western
states and throw the election OF presi.
dent into the house ofrepresentatives

SEWER GAS EXPLOSION.
One Of the Biggest Ever Known, wrecking
Large Sewer and Building.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 26.-Furious at
the restraint, held back by high
water in the river and forced on by
the flood of sewerage and the water
thrown upon the recent Waters-P Pierce
oil fire, the gas generated by their
escaping oil, heated by the intense
summer sun, exploded about o'clock
this afternoon, wrecking fully half of
the great Mill creek sewer, the larg-
est of the city's drainage system, and
causing the loss of two lives and in
juring three others, with possibly other
fatalities. The first explosion occur
red Immediately under and complete
ly wrecked the wholesale liquor house
of Carl E. Fuchs, which stood directly
over the sewer, and this was followed
an instant later by an upheaval hun
dred feet further east across Third
street. The latter explosion complete
ly wrecked the Iron Mountain rail-
roads southern yard, extending
thousand feet to the very edge of the
river. The first body taken from the
wreckage of Fuchs store, lying on
the bottom of the sewer, was that of
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1892-07-28

Albert Mueller, a barkeeper. Search
for Fuchs, who was known to be in
the store was then pursued but so far
no trace of his remains has been
found. The wounded so far as known
are: Mrs. Tremble, her little child
and Charles Humpe. None of the in
jured suffered seriously. Manhole
caps weighing 200 pounds each were
blown off the entire length
of the main sewer which reaches
west to the thirtieth and two blocks
farther onto tributary sewers. AT
present practically thousands of feet
of sewer are an open stream swelling
to heaven with filth and gases. The
yards of the Iron Mountain road are
so thoroughly torn up as to interrupt
traffic in that vicinity until the sewer
is rebuilt. The pecuniary loss cannot
now be estimated.

Special to The Statesman
DALLAS, Tex, July 26.-An item
which appeared in a recent issue Of
the Chicago Sunday Sun came very
near causing a tragedy in this city
tonight. The item in question alleged
that Mrs. H. w. Parker, the wife of a
carpenter, had left home and was be-
ing kept by gentleman friend at the
residence of Henry Fabian. The latter
is respectable man and his wife a
good and pure woman. Fabian CLAIMS
that Parker. the husband of the
woman, wrote the article. He was
wild with rage and has been seeking
for the alleged slanderer since that
time. This evening he met Parker on
the corner of Main and Harwood
streets. He pulled a pistol from his
packet and pointing to the article
gaid, "did you write that?' Parker
pulled a revolver and shot at Fabian.
The latter ducked and the bullet
whistled past his head. Parker ran
into Lonskir's undertaking establish

ness man of this city and is now q

tanned that st. Louis detective was

porter who alleges that he was in the
conspiracy to burn the building and
stood. The negro went before the
crank jury and his evidence secured
the indictment of Messrs. Sharpe and
Davidson.

and w. S. Brownrigg were also
caught in the grand jury drag net. All
the accused parties have given bond

dered said association and caused gar
nishments to be run on w. l.. Moody,
treasurer, and D. B. Henderson, col
lector of the association. The
amount is alleged to be due
for services as chief of the
educational department of the assoei-
alton. The association met again to-
day for the purpose of closing up its
affairs, but no quorum being present
nothing was accomplished. The de-
termination of the ladies' auxiliary
branch of the association under the
direction of Mrs. Tobin and her ener-
getic co-workers to have Texas and
her wonderful resources fully
represented at the Columbian
exposition is very favorably
considered here by those who had no
sympathy with the scheme of the
defunct association, and if proper
steps are taken it will receive very
liberal support from Galveston.

STRIKE OF sWITCHMEN.
The Force in the Gainesville Yard Becomes
Angered at the Station Agent.

Special to The Statesman.
GAINESVILLE, Tex, July 26.-Eight
Santa Fe yard switchmen and two
callers struck last night. The cause
of the strike, according to the men,
has long been brewing and it was pre-
cipitated yesterday when Agent Gates
discharged Fred Hess, caller, for
obeying the orders of Yardmaster
O'Brien when they conflicted with
his own. But this was only the oc-
casion of the strike. Yardmaster
O'Brien says Agent Gates has never
missed an opportunity to usurp
his authority and to inter-
fere with the work of the
switchmen. Frequent complaint has
been made to the officials and they
have promised to restore harmony be-
tween the two branches of services
but despite warnings that trouble
would ensue, they have failed to COM
ply with their promise. The men
now demand nothing more than the
removal of the agent. Mr.. Gates
says the terminals arc under

the switchmen of that city, Dallas and
Cleburne promised to fall into line
whenever the men here gave
the signal. The men at each of
these points are expected
to quit at once. Only one train has
left here today, and that was made
up by Trainmaster Martin without

made up, but no brakemen will go out
with it. Trailimaster Martin tried to
get the men back, but as he was not
empowered to promise the removal
of Agent Gates they refused. They
declare they will never return until
the agent is removed and that if scabs
