Too Late.

Perhaps Tenny>on has written moth

who read his poems more than the
lyric of Too Late The burden of
the sad refrain comes home with tell
ing force to the hearts Of those who
have lost nv that dread di-ease-con-
sumption. They realize too late,
result of neglect They feel that the
dear one might have been saved if
they had needed the warning of the
hacking cough, the pallid cheek, and
weakening system. They feel this all
the more keenly because they see
Others being rescued from the grasp OF
the destroyer, and they think what Is

loved one. When the first signal of
danger is seen, take steps to avert the

The directors of the Missouri State
Fair association have determined after
mature deliberarion that it is neces-
sary and desirable Ia enlarge their
scope of operations. and at meeting
yesterday concluded To become a
member of the Western and Southern

the past has heen a member OF the
state fair circuit composed Of small
towns like Higginsville. Mexico and

as it Is frequently called. Se,lalia will
secure the attendance during the race

comprise the following cities Sturgis.

1t is safe to predict that the Sedalia
fair for 1893 will he a success in every
particular and on a much grander
scale. The arrangements have even
now been commenced, and will Ike
prosecuted from day to day. The fair

the startling fact that the great ~

GASOLINE EXPLOSION.
Carelessness Comes Near Costing Several
Persons Their Lives.

Special to The Statesman
DEL Rio, Tex, Sept. 6. - AT II
o'clock today an explosion of gasoline
stove occurred at the residence of
Robert Alexander on Martin street,
by which several persons were pain
fully burned. Mrs. Alexander was
filling the reservoir with the stove
lighted in the same room when the
explosion occurred. She was imme-
diately enveloped in flames, and Cliff
ton Newell, visitor from San An.
tonic, a child 5 years old who was
playing near, was also covered with
the fire. Mrs. Alexander extinguish-
ed the flames on her own person at
once, but is painfully burned about
the arms. Miss May Alexander seiz-
ed table cloth and rolled the child in
it, smothering the flames, but not be-
fore she was severely burned on one
hand. The fire was extinguished by
the heroic efforts of Henry Ware, who
was almost Immediately on the scene.
The child's recovery is considered
doubtful. The others are not seri-

WEATHER AND CROPS.
WEEKLY REPORT OF THE TEXAS STATE
WEATHER SERVICE.
Temperature Slightly Above Normal Wealth
er Favorable for Cotton-Corn q Good
Crop, Fair Prices Being Paid for
It-0ther Crop News.

GALVESTON, Sept. 6.-The weekly
weather and crop bulletin of the Texas
state weather service, was issued to-
night for the week ending Sept. 5. 1t
gives temperature, rainfall and crop
prospects for the past week as follows:
The temperature for the past week
has averaged slightly above normal
over the coast district, and has been
generally normal over other sections.
The temperature for season from
March contains above the average.
PRECIPITATION AND SUNSHINE.
The eastern portion of the coast
district, the northwestern portion of
central Texas and the western portion
of north Texas the rainfall for the
week has been above the average,
while over other portions it has been
generally deficient.
Sunshine has been above normal,
except where the rain has been ex-
cessive, where it is deficient.
COTTON.
The weather has been very favor
able for cotton except over Southwest
Texas and the eastern portion of the
coast district, where picking has been
delayed. Over the northwestern por-
tion of Central Texas and the western
portion of North Texas the plant is
late and has been improved by the
rains. Picking is in progress gener.
ally, but even in those sections where
it has not been delayed by the wet
weather it is not so nearly we'll ad.
vanced as at the corresponding time
last season. Complaints relative to
worms are very scattering.s
OTHER CROPS.
Corn Is the heaviest crop for several
years in most parts of the state, and
in some sections it is being disposed
of at fair prices and is proving a more
profitable crop than cotton The
sugar cane crop is doing we'll and the
sorghum crop is excellent in most sec
tions. The grass crop of the western
portion of the state is in fine condition
and prospects for winter pasturag'
are promising. Flowing for fall whea
is progressing nicely and the weather
is very favorable for the work.

SWUNG TO A LIMB.
THREE NEGROES TAKEN OUT BY A
MOB AND HANGED.
The Trouble Grew out Of the Killing Of Jar
rett Burnes Last July-Negroes Are
Very Much Scared and Leaving
the Country in Hurry.

Special to the Statesman.
PARIS, Tex, Sept, 6.-The killing
of Jarrett Burns, negro, by John
Ashley, white, on July 30, and report
ed at the time, has had terrible Sc
quel. Since this killing there has
been growth of hard feeling against
the negroes, excited doubtless by mall
icious meddling and things said and
charged to have been said by negroes.
Shortly after the killing a negro
woman charged certain whites of
having attempted to mob her
and came to town under q
guard ST negroes to make
complaint against the parties. The
negroes who guarded her have been
threatened with violence, and ON
Friday night two of them were taken
from their homes by masked men and
beaten. Saturday night an attempt
was made on third, but he stood
them off, though wounded himself. In
each case they threatened that the
same treatment would be meted out
to the rest of the guard. Last night
about IL o'clock masked mob
twenty-five strong went to
Gilbert Daniels, on the McChristian
farm, and ordered the door opened.
Daniels obeyed and was ordered out
side. The mob then went in, and
finding John Ransom hid under bed
took him off with them, saying they
wanted him as guide to where some
of the negro woman's guards were.
Before leaving they broke Daniels
gun. About II o'clock they appeared
at the house of William Armor on
the Hanna farm, where Jack Walker,
young unmarried negro, lived with
Armor. The mob has Ransom
with them. At their order
Armor opened the door
and was made to come outside, but
Walker refused to open his door, and
shots were fred into his room, which
he returned once and then gave up.
One of the mob was wounded by his
shot. Ropes were placed around
their necks and the mob marched off
with them. This morning about 9
O'Clock colored boy and white boy
discovered the bodies of the three
men hang from one limb of tree over
he road. Ransom was swinging
clear of the ground, but the mob in its
hurry had not hung Armor and Wal
ker clear, and had to tie their feet up
| to clear the ground. Walker had o
wound o. or the head and 1t Is sup
posed struggle took place at the
tire -tansom had been allowed to
di :, but the others had on only their
unGer clothing. The negroes have all
left that part of the country, and the
affair Is deplored and denounced by
all, and every effort will be made to
ferret out the perpetrators. 1t is re-
ported that the mob has made threats
against the land owners who have
espoused the cause of their negro ten
ants, and more trouble is feared.

nounce tho capture of Federal General
Ranjle, commander of the second mil
itary zone, and the utter rout of his
troops In the mountains southwest of
Guerrero Saturday. Trouble has
grown out of the oppressive tax inn

government. The people refused to
pay the taxes and have determined to
fight it out to the bitter end. The
people of the district are organized,
and as soon as the federal troops ar
rived they drove them to a rough
place and managed to capture Ranjle,
after which the troops were driven in
every direction, many of them were
killed. Troops from Chihuahua and
Sonora have gone to the scene. Gem

insurgents will demand of the govern
ment that the obnoxious tax be re.
moved and their leaders pardoned.

THE BIG BATTLE.
Corbstt Arrives in New Orleans and Is Now
Ready for the Fray.

h6duy lUr Cuo cEhy'
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 6.-The last
prize fighter has arrived here in the
person of Gentleman Jim Corbett.
His car was attached to the regular
mail train on the Louisville and Nash
vile road, which arrived here on
time at 7:45 this morning. Corbett
came through to the Canal street de-
pot but was not met by an over large
crowd as the general impression was
that the Corbett party would avoid a
rush or jam by alighting at some rear
street. The reception committefgys Ut
the Southern Athletic club, wkose
guest Corbett will be, headed by
President James Campbell, was on
hand with string of carri-
ages which were quickly
filled by the Frisco boy, Delaney,
Manager Brady, and others, and
driven to the club house. Contrary
to the usual exclusiveness of most of
the pugilists Corbett had no objection
on reaching the club to stripping in
the presence of all the party. Best
judges say Jim is in splendid form.
There is no superfiuous flesh on him;
in fact, too much may have been
taken off, considering the hard hit
ter and massive and heavy giant he is
pitted against. After swim in the
the large tank he was rubbed down
while conversing with those around
him. The entire Corbett party have
unbounded confidence in their man
winning, which feeling is fully shared
by pompadour Jim himself, which is
shown by a remark he made this
morning, "It's all over except the ap-
plause.n

rapidly. This was positively the col
Orad hOv,s rOund

rapidly. This was positively the col
ored boy's round.
Round six-The men stepped up
briskly, and came to a clinch. Dixon
landed a heavy left hand swing,
though he got terrible right on the
ear. He was much stronger than his
opponent, and the manner in which
he offered to battle showed his conf
dence in himself. He landed heavy
left hand swing on his opponents
ribs, and clinched to save himself.
Dixon received heavy right on the
neck, though his opponent was grow
ing weak. In the fearful exchange of
blows Dixon landed two terrible
punches on Kelly with both hands on
the head and body. The battle SO far
was all one way, and the white boy
looked as if he could not last through
another round.
Seventh round-Dixon commenced
the round by an attempt to land a
left but his effort was futile, however,
for Skelly in avoiding nearly came to
an awkward clinch, in which DiXon's
generalship was much admired. In
the exchange of blows both mems
heads came together. Dixon followed
up his opponent closely and the latter
did not seem so anxious to fight. The
colored boy landed heavy right and
left and would have knocked out his
man but for clinch. Skelly looked
beaten and was punched to the floor
twice. The sound of the gong barely
saved him, for he was showing signs
of the terrible punishment. AS he sat
in the corner he looked limp and
beaten.
Round eight-Dixon stepped up to
his man knowing how weak the
latter was, and landed light left bn
his head. The men boxed carefully
and came to clinch from the attempt
of Dixon to land on the head. Dixon
forced his man into the corner where
he delivered heavy right and left
handler, and it was astonishing how
Skelly stood the punishment, He
was gone, however, and in the heavy
exchange he was beaten to
the ground with terrible
right and left handed swing.
The young Brooklyn amateur
fought game battle, and that is all
he can be said to have done. He
showed fight while strength was with
him, and only gave up when nature
gave out. The Boston bantam's gen.
eralship was much admired and his
strength and hitting ability consid-
cred something wonderful.
At the end of the battle challenge
from Charley Mitchell to the winner
of the Sullivan-Cprbett contest was
read and heartily laughed at. Nearly
every other fighter at the ring side
wanted to fight somebody, and Po-
lice Captain Barrett ordered all chal'
lengers out.

ARKANSAS ELECTIONS.
The Democrats Carry the State by Large

LITTLE Rock, Sept. 6-Political re-
turns received from all. over the state
was unusually quiet. A full Demo-
cratic vote was polled. But there is
great falling off in the colored Repub-
lican vote, owing to the unfamiliarity
with the Australian ballot law and a
general Indifference. This is especial
ly noticeable in large negro counties,
Amendment No. 2, requiring the
payment of a 81 poll tax as a qualifi-
cation for voting will be close, but the
Democratic state ticket headed by
VIM. M. Fishback for governor is un-
doubtedly elected by large majority.
No approximate estimates can be
made tonight, but Democrats claim
Fishback's majority to be fully $4,000.
Count very slow, and authentic re-
turns will not be in for some days.
