She is Restrained from Collecting Her
Street Paving Tax,
Special to The Statesman.
DALLAS, Feb. This CITY has
about $4,000 outstanding in street
paving tax which was today tied up
for an indefinite length of time by
rush to the courts, asking for an in
junction restraining the collection of
the tax for various reasons cited by
property holders.
Il. ;. Thomas and other property
holders on Mckinney avenue asked
that the city be enjoined from collect
ing the paving tax, because the ordi-
nance under which the con-
tract was awarded required
them to pay only two-thirds of the
cost of paving, while the ordinance
under which the levy was made re-
CURED them to pay all the cost of paw
ing, showing difference of cost in
favor OF the city amounting to $1OS7.
The city charter was changed during
the time intervening between the
award OF the contract and the ordi-
nance making the assessment which
was passed in conformity with the
new or amended charter. For this
reason and other minor allegations
which in general merged into objec-
tions cited above, the plaintiffs asked
to be released from the payment un.
der the assessment made.

JAILED THE WITNESS.
BRUTAL TREATMENT OF A WIFE BY

Room and at Night Placed in Closet

Against Him,
r. Special to The Statesman.

o Special to The Statesman.
GALVESTON, Feb. IA singular
and cruel method of disposing of a
witness was developed here today.
On the 9th of November Alec
Rhodes, desperate negro, was ar
rested for an aggravated assault upon
his wife. Upon preliminary exami-
nation he was held for the criminal
district court, then in session, and
was released on bond. The grand
jury found an Indictment against him
and he was again released upon bail.
When he found that bis wife had tes-
titled against him, and it was largely
upon her evidence that the indict-
ment was based, he resolved to get rid
of her as a witness, and as she sud-
denly disappeared it was thought he
had murdered her. Today this theory
was exploded by her appearance at
the sheriff's office, where she related
the following story of imprisonment:
On November 20, as she was walk
ing along Thirtieth street, after dark,
she was seized by her hus-
band and his father, Jas. Rhodes,
and forced into wagon and
driven to the house of Frank Sanders,
on avenue S. There she was confined
in closely barred room for week.
She was then removed to the house of
James Rhodes, where during the day
she occupied small room from which
escape was impossible. Each night
she was forced to occupy a small cup
board from which the shelves had
been removed in order to make it large
enough for her to enter. In this manner
she was held a close prisoner for
over two months, her captors feeding
her on bread and bacon. Yesterday
she begged hard to be permitted to
go into the yard. Her self-appointed
iailors consented and from the yard
she escaped. She came to the sheriff7s
office today to prefer additional
charges against her husband and
against James Rhodes, Frank San
>ders, Caroline, Georgia and Candace
Rhodes, all of whom are now in jail.

Reception.


NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 1.-EXPresi-

Southern Pacific road. He was ac-
companied from New Iberia by Chas.
B. and Joseph jefferson, Jr., Dan
Avery, Sgd. Bradford, j. M. Hem
shaw and f. B. Kruttschnet of New
Orleans, Although programme had
been arranged for committee to meet
the ex-president at tie depot and give
him formal reception, there was no
such demonstration of patriotic feel
ing toward him who at one time would
have been greeted at the depot with
great glory. Mr.. Cleveland was i'm
mediately driven through the curious
crowd to the Pickwick club, where to-
gether with members of his party he
sat down to light breakfast, after
which he went to the st. Nicholas
hotel, being assigned room 81.
A few moments later ex-senator
Jones and Judge 7. j. Semmes, presi-
dent of the National Bar association,
called on the honored guest. With
out receiving any other calls at noon,
by invitation of Judge Semmes, he
was driven over the city. Tardy
preparations are being made to do
honor to the great statesman, and at
$3.50 p. m. he will hold public recep-
ton at the city hall in the mayors
parlor. At that time salute oftwen-
ty-one guns will be fired by order OF
Governor Nichols and commander-in-
chief of the state national guards.
Mr.. Cleveland positively refused to
discuss either national or local poll
ties and would only talk on the sub
iect of the pleasant time he has had
hunting and praise the hospitality OF
the people of Louisiana and their
state. He will leave at s tonight over
the Louisville and Nashville road for
New York.

PENA, Tex, Feb l.-Yom cores
pendent reached here this evening
after three days hard ride through
the country south of Alice. Captain
McNeel's rangers are also just in from
the same country, with two prisoners
in charge. The country south of here
is incomparatively quiet, but in this
vicinity there is considerable excite
ment over the ambushing of small
scouting party sent out from the
United States soldiers camp at
Sweden,
The scouts were led by Rufus GLOW
er, formerly clerk of Duval county,
one of the best known men in this
section, who has been some time en-
ployed by Capt. Chase as guide.
They were following a trail seventeen
miles north of Benavides, when just
at dark near Soledad Well they were
halted, the challenge being sharply
followed by volley from the brush.
Leno Cuero who was with the scout
ing party reports that he saw Glover
fall from his horse. A hundred shots
were fired and Cuero with one COM
panion barely made their escape on
one horse. Riding rapidly their horse
gave out and they pushed on to their
camp on foot, arriving at this morn
ing to find all gone from there, except
guard. A courier was at once dis
patched after Capt. Chase who at
last reports was within ten miles of
the scene of the slaughter.
The trail the victims of the ambush
were following was afresh and just
ahead of them was large gray horse
saddled and bridled by a boy. 1t is
thought this was Garza's own horse
being taken to him from a friendly
ranch and the vicious and merciless
character of the assault is explained
by the fact of Garza's presence and
the determination of his imme-
date followers never to permit his
capture. There can be but little
doubt that Glover had pretty good
idea that he was hot on the trail of
thesleaders of the disturbance which
has been. causing so much trouble
here with reckless bravery, followed
mp to the end, he fell fighting, and
there is no doubt the assailants suffer
ed severely from the fire of the three
scouts.
Capt. Brooks has moved his rangers
from their camp near here and the
problem over which this section has
recently been puzzling will soon be
solved. General Mabry will be here
tomorrow.
