At Edenton last week Col. Harry
Skinner was nominated by tie
Third party for Congress from tie
First district. He accepted the
nomination with the same reserved
privilege which he mentioned in
accepting the nomination for Gov
ernor in the Third party convention
at Raleigh. He said If the Repuhli-
can party shall attempt 20 divide
the white people he must vote with
the white people.
Just as the Third party did not
want such Governor, so they did
not want such Congressman; and
so Mr.. A. Z. Moye was nominated
for congress from that district.

Peace, Sends His Wife to Jail-she
Licks Him and His Deputy

sioux CITY. Iowa, March 27-Farmer
Frank Greenwalt, who lives in Perry town
ship Plymouth county, has an occasional
quarrel with mis- wife. Greenwalt is both
justice OF the peace and school director. The
''school-marm" boarded at his house, and in
bad weather he has often conveyed her
home in his buggy a few days ago a
neighborhood wag suggested to Mrs. Green
walt that the old gentleman had been pay
ing too much attention to the school
marm.' There was an unusually violent
scrap in which Greenwalt was badly
worsted. Next day Greenwalt, in his ca
pacity as justice of the peace, deputized his
hired Farmland, Bill Otto, to arrest his
wife and bring her before him for trial.
After brief examination he ordered her TO
be conveyed to the county Jail at Lemars,
twenty miles distant, and confined pending
examination for insanity. Otto was again
deputized te execute the order. On the way

ian and started back home. She had walked
fifteen miles, and was found by neighbors
in the morning scratched and bruised and
utterly exhausted.

The subject of this sketch was born at
Richmond, Va, August 30, IS4S. His father
is Rev. George G. Exall. Baptist minister,
well known in Virginia and the South, who
moved from England when but a child.
His paternal grandfather was an English
astronomer and divine of considerable re-
nown. Mr.. Exall's early education, inter-
rupted when ne was thirteen years of age
by the civil war, was acquired at his
fathers academy Two years later his
strong Southern sympathies made him a
soldier in the cause. At the battle of
Reams station his brigade commander pre-
scented him with sword in recognition of
his gallant services. AT the close of the
war he studied law, but soon abandoned it
for the wider and more active held of com,
mercial life. In 1877 he cast his fortunes
with Texas. He has represented the state
of Texas at conventions of cattlemen,
bankers associations, commercial CON
crosses and eXpositions and political con-
Ventions on various occasions. In 1884 he
was one of the representatives of the state
in the convention that nominated Mr.
Cleveland for the presidency. He was ap-

ing in the corner. Mrs. Mash jumped be-
tween Ilr father and husband. Fisher
then remarked that either he or Mash had
to leave there; that they both could not re-
main all night. Mash remarked that he
would be the one to CO. He then put on his
clothes went out to the lot and saddled his
horse. then went back in the house and
told his wife to get him some clothes he
wanted to wear to-day. While she was
getting them ready Fisher made at Mash
again with the knife. Mash then stepped
back, leveled the gun Ga rifle and shot
Fisher in the left cheek just below the eye,
the ball coming out on the right side of the
back part of the head. He died instantly.
Mash then mounted his horse, came to
town and surrendered to Sheriff Cox. He
is now in Jail.
The case referred to with the Mexican
the last grand jury found bill against
Mash for assault with intent to murder.
He was out on $1,000 appearance bond at
the time of the last mentioned difficulty.
No one was present at the time of the
killing except Mash, his wife and her
father, Mark Fisher. More trouble IS ex-
pected, as Fisher has several grown sons
who say they will have vengeance on their
fathers slayer.

Wood County Crops.

QeITAfAS, WooD COUNTY, Tex. March
26.-There will be a decrease in the acreage
OF cotton in this vicinity to the exteut OF
about one-fourth.
The following crops viii take the place of
cotton; Corn, cars, field peas, peanuts and
potatoes.
We think there viii be more land fsav
about one-fourth) cultivated this than last
year.
Very little new lands being opened m.
The majority of farmers viii have to get
advances 10 make their crops, but do rot
think 1t will be to the extens of past wears.
Had the price of cotton held up to that of
last year, almost every farmer in this sec
ton would have paved out of debt
We might add to our second answer that
hogs will be prominent f yure in the CROP
of 1892. A prominent citizen said TO US to
day that the Fort Worth packery was go
ing to help this part of Texas: that ne had
collected $3.50 this winter for land sold that
he would not had it not been for the party
selling ffty-five head of hogs to the Fort
Worth packery." He also told of another
sale Of Wood county hogs that were sold to
the same packery
These sales were in the northern part Of
the county hence, the shipping point was

senator Tyler.

Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX, March Ex-senator Tyler
was seen this evening shortly after his ar
rival from Bolton and asked about his fu-
ture course in Bell county now that he is
voluntarily out of the race for congress.
He said in substance: Il withdraw from
the race on principle and because of the
division in our ranks in Ben county. 1
shall quit politics except in so Tar as can
be of service 10 my friends and the good of
my party. The principle of true Democ-
racy was involved in my candidacy, or
rather in the rival candidacy of myself and
Governor Pendleton, and not to jeopardize
or sacrifice that principle have stepped
aside. The friends of Democracy in my
county shall not be embarrassed by any am
bition of mine in the matter"
The senator said that two delegations
from Bell county would go to the congress
sional and 10 the state conventions. His
contention and that of his friends will be
that Bell county should not present can
didate for congress to the convention. Be
ing out of the race himself he viii of course
oppose Governor Pendleton should he re-
mai in the race.
The impression among Senator Tyler's
friends here is that he has acted not only
wisely but unselhshly in Withdrawing
from the race at this stage of the game.
Leaving Bell county out of consideration,
there remains three other men at least
who may be considered candidates. These
are Judge Gerald, Senator Simpkins and
Z. l.. Antony of Cameron.

mously adopted a resolution favoring the

resentatIve of The GAZETTE and as spec
tator to a seat in the convention, which he
with pleasure accepted, notwithstanding
his Democratic proclivities, and he desires

body of business men in this country. The
business of the convention was conducted
strictly on parliamentary usages.

1--WE WERE READY TO FIGHT,
That's What the Commander of the Cruiser
Yorktown Says With Reference to
the CHILEAN Affair

SAN Francisco, CAL, March 27.-The
United States cruiser Yorktown arrived
this morning from Chill. She will in few
days proceed to Mare Island to be docked
and cleaned. When asked about the ston-
ing of the Yorktown's gig by a CHILEAN
mob, Commander Evans said: Eyes. there
was some excitement for a time, but that
served TO make time fly, and we felt better
for it. If it came to fighting we would
not have been in the background The
ship was cleared for action, and every pre-
caution was taken to prevent another such
occurrence. My crew were blameless, and
the action Of the Chilians in stoning them
was cowardly."
Commander Evans said ne had received
no order from the navy department to pro-
coed to Behring sea. The vessel had
travelled 1900 miles since last October, but
no repairs were needed beyond having her
hull cleaned.

WASHINGTON, March 27-The Bland sill
yer bill still impends over the house Of rep
resentatives as a cloud whose presence
makes possible a storm which may disturb
the representations of those who en-
deavOr to form an accurate
chart ofAhe course of the legislative ship.
Owing to the absence of Mr.. Catchings
of Mississippi and the desire that there
shall be full representation when the rule
making the Bland free coinage bill and
pending amendments special order is to
be taken up, the rules committee will not
report and call up the much-talked-of spe-
cial order until Tuesday. The silver fight
will then be renewed and fought to finish
one way or the other.
Tomorrow will be devoted to measures
relating to the District of Columbia.
The remainder of the week, not devoted
to consideration of the silver question win
be consumed either in debate on the tariff
question or in consideration Of regular ap-
preparation bills. There are three appro-
priation bills, namely, the naval, the con-
sular aud diplomatic and the sundry civil,
ready for action by the house. Tho river
and harbor bill has been agreed upon by
the committee, but will not be reported to
the house until the close of the week.
Interest in the proceedings of the senate
this week will turn upon the disposition to
be made of the Behring sea arbitration.
In the course OF legislative business,
the Indian appropriation bill will be
further considered. uThe West Virginia
direct tax bill has been finally assigned
for debate on Tuesday, on which day Sena-
tor Stanford will also address the senate
on his bill to determine the value Of the
legal tender dollar. 1t is expected the Dis
trict of Columbia appropriation bill will be
taken up afterward, and as this is meas
u in which senators feel much interest,
owing in part to the fact that many of
tnem own homes in this city. the debate
upon the provisions of the bill is likely to
occupy the senate for some time.

THE MELBOURNE MURDERER
Who Killed His Wife and Children, Com

Who Killed His Wife and Children, Com
fesses He is Jack the Ripper
MELBOURNE, March 26.-Considerable
excitement was caused to-day by the state
ment published by the Argus declaring that
Deeming, the murderer, had made a con-
fession. There has been a strong sus pic
ion entertained here and in England that
Deeming is none other than ''Jack the
Ripper" the slayer of the White
chapel London, outcasts, and the suspicion
is borne out In measure not
only by Deeming's appearance, which
closely tallies with the description given
of the Whitechapel fend, but by his al
legged confession. The Argus is reliable
newspaper, and there is no reason to
doubt the statement it makes that Deem
ing has acknowledged that he killed his
wife and four children at Dinham Villa.
Rainhill, near Liverpool, and that he muir
dered and mutilated the last two women
whose bodies were found in WhitechapeL
In hisiconfesslon, the Argus says, Deeming
makes no mention of his object in mutilat-
inc the bodies of his victims and removing
certain organs, but. 1t adds. there is
scarcely doubt that the man is affected
with disease similar in some respects to

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Atr Blount 6St
Georgia, chairman OF the house COMMITTEES
on Foreign affairs, has prepared for sub-vs
mission TO the house, an extensive report =
10 accompany the regular annual consular
and diplomatic appropriation bill The re-
port says a careful examination has been
made into the sub ect of our foreign mis-
sions, and the Importance of our diplomatic
relations with the several countries OF the
world. Facilities for the transmission and
interchange of thought dispenses with
mnchot the need of foreign representation.
1t enables the home government 70 commu-
nicate rapidly and freely on all questions OF
Inference with foreign governments, TO
give directions in the most minute detail.
50 completely does this practice obtain
that we will scarcely find any fame spring
ing from the action of our representatives
at foreign courts in the future as in the
earlier days Of the republic. In addition to
this, this country has grown TO such mag
nltude as to enjoy that regard from other
nations to guarantee her against foreign
Insolence, outrage and cause of war.
Very much might be safely
done in reducing the number
OF our ministers by the abolition or union
OF several countries under one mission. Not
to encourage hope for an acceptance OF
these views by the senate or president it
has been deemed best, except in q few in
stances, to POSTPONE needed reforms AT this
point. Denmark, Sweden and Norway,
however, have been placed under one mis-
sion, as have Colombia and Ecuador. under
one mission, and likewise Peru and Bolivia.
BY mistake of the printer it was
announced that Guatemala and Yene--
zuela had also been Joined
under one minister. Separate ministers
are to be maintained in those two countries
and the salary is fixed at 5000.
Thetreport says the committee gave care
full attention to the consular service
and reviewed it according to the business
and Importance of the United States at
each place.
