KANSAS STRIKERS.
The Situation is Serious and Blood May
Flow at ANY Time.

WEIR CITY, Kan, July 91.-No vio-
lent outbreak occurred today, but it is
looked for tomorrow. Early this
morning large meeting was held.
Noah Allen, ex-assistant attorney gen.
eral (Populist), addressed the strikers
depreciating violence. Another large
meeting was held, but it's result is not
known. None of the strip, pits are at
work today, but some of the Clemens
men went back to the pit and got the
remains of their property left there.
This afternoon a crowd started to
shafts AZ and As with the intention of
driving out the men and guarding the
property. After hanging around the
mines some time the crowd gradually
disappeared. The crowd consisted
chiefly of French and Belgians, women
as we'll as men. The men at the shafts
are we'll armed and determined
and a conflict would undoubtedly
be bloody one. Sheriff Arnold
was on the scene today and assisted in
dispensing the mob. Women are beir e
constantly stirred up by the men to
take leading part in the violence on
the supposition that they will not te
fired on. The sheriff has agreed to
place a large force of deputies to
guard the Kansas and Texas shafts to-
morrow.
The feeling among the strikers is
very bitter, but, although they are
repeating threats to burn the resi-,
dence of the Kansas and Texas super
intendent and also the office of the
Tribune, they have done nothing of
the sort yet. 1t is reported that
force of special deputy United States
marshals will be here tomorrow, called
by the nonresident companies. 1t is
reported also that Walters and othsr
leaders of the strikers will be here to
take personal control of the strike.
AT PITTsBURG.
PITTsBURG, Kans., July 21.-The
miners and strip pit men held a meet
ing in this city this afternoon, which
was addressed by President Walters
of the Miners association. Large
numbers of shaft miners were present,
but were requested to leave, and only
shaft men who were members of the
executive board of mine workers
were allowed to remain The ses-
sion lasted the entire afternoon, and
it was decided to call a delegate
convention of strip pit men to meet in
Pittsburg next Monday to decide
whether they will come out with the
shaft strikers. The Kansas and Texas
Coal company Skipped arms to Weir
City and Litchfield last night to arm
their guards at those places. 1t is the
opinion here that if Arkansas and Mis-
souri, miners do not come to the Kan
sas strikers relief the strike will be
quickly broken, but the strikers say
these states will certainly help them.
At Litchfield the situation remains the
same.

WORK OF ASSASSINS.
R. F. RoUNDTREE FoULLy MURDERED
AT HIS HOME NEAR LLANo.

Series Of Serious Accidents.

LLANo, Tex, July 20.-R. F. Round.
tree, an old and much respected citi-
zen, was found at his pasture gate at
8 o'clock this evening shot through
some eight or 10 times. He was dead
and cold. 1t was the work of cold
blooded assassin, as he had been way
laid and shot from the brush. The
killing occurred some time this morn
ing as he was returning from Llano.
An old feud is perhaps the cause, but
at this time there is no clue to the per-
petrator of the foul deed. The town
is wild with excitement and quite a
number of officers and citizens have
gone to the scene of the murder. Mr.
Roundtree has wife and several
small children. Mrs. Roundtree is the
daughter of the late Hon. Felix Smith
of Travis county.
We had quite chapter of accidents
yesterday. First, an old miner named
Shipp was badly hurt in the Olive
mine. He was badly, though not
dangerously, hurt. Second, Mexican
section hand fell from bridge ON the
railroad and was badly injured Third,
a painter named Benton fell from a
scaffold while painting a house here
in town and broke two of his ribs.
The doctors regard his case as quite
dangerous, though he is some easier
today. Fourth, the great Third party
apostle. Stump Ashby, addressed the
faithful here yesterday. Your CORES
pondent did not learn he was here un.
til he had gone. OF course he told
his hearers what the trouble was and
the remedy.
A session of our commissioners court
has been called to meet on the 3rd day
of August to examine and receive our
new courthouse and settle with the
contractor.
The weather has been exceedingly
dry and hot. We had the first shower
this evening that We have had in a
month, but not enough to do any
good Unless we get plenty of rain by
Aug. l, our cotton crop will be ruined.
The indications are good, however for
plenty of rain in the near future.

Liquor Taxes,

In THE STATESMAN of Yesterday
nnder the head of "Federal LIQUOR
Tax" an uninlentional injustice WAS
done the stale revenue agent in stat
ing that while the federal receipts
from liquor taxes were increasing,
the states collections from the same
source were decreasing, and that the
"loss lay at the door of the state reve.
nue. agency" Upon an investigation
it appears that the statement of the
United States internal revenue collec.
tor, from which this conclusion was
drawn, was intended to show the re-
ceipts for one month only, and not for
one year, hOnce there could be no COM
parison with the annual receipts of
the state. The facts as shown by the
records of the internal revenue collec.
tors office for this district are as fol-
lows:
Receipts fiom liquor taxes during the
year ending June 80, 1892 ...... 500, ia SO
Receipts from same source during the
year ending June 80, 1898. ........... S7,1S7 80
The states receipts from liquor
dealers are as follows:
For the year ending April 80 1892. =. s745 $50 &C
For the year ending April 80 lS9a.... 72l7.G 90
Decrease ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. e.. s20,25O %
This decrease of 500, $50 covers the
" hole state, while the decrease of
$8,987.03 in the internal revenue col.
lections applies to only one of the two
federal districts into which the state
Is divided. The decrease in the fed
eral collections from liquor taxes In
this district Tor the year ending June
30, 1893, as compared with the preced-
ing year is nearly 10 per
cent. while the decrease in the
state's collections for the whole state
during the year ending April 80, 1893,
as compared with the previous year Is
only about 2 3.5 per cent. The COM
parison of course is not complete, be.
cause the federal collections for the
whole state are not known, nor does
the state fiscal year end on the same
date as the federal fiscal year, but the
above facts are sufficient to show that
the states collections of the liquor
taxes are now keeping fairly up with
tie federal collections and that the
decrease in the federal tax on LIQUOR
for the past year has been as much in
pr portion as has been the decrease in
the state taxes.

BRAZILIAN REVOLUTION,

VALPARAISO, July 20.-A cores
pondent in Montevldo wires that the
Brazilian insurgent vessel Italia has
arrived there in charge of the Uru-
aguan gunboat, Gen Rivera, which
captured her near Maldonada, Uru
aguay. Colonel Pintos and 20 other
revolutionists landed in Maldonada
before the Italia was captured Par.
ticulars of operations around Rio
Grande do Sui before the fight and
subsequent capture of the insurgent
squadron are told by the captain OF
the Gen Rivera. He says on July 8.
just as he was about to leave Rio
Grande do Sui with a gunboat to
carry arms to the government forces
in Porto Alegra he saw Colonel
armed men board the. Jupiter,
commanded by Admiral Waldenkolk
and used as the flagship of the insur-
gents squadron, These armed men
were undoubtedly recruits for the
Jupiter and the insurgent gunboat
Cameoclne. A shell was fired at the
Jupiter from the fort at Rio Grande do
Sui on July 10. The shell struck the
helm and killed three men. The cap
tain said on July 10 the Jupiter was
outside the bar below Rio Grande do
Sui and was being holly pursued by
the Brazilian gunboat Camanea. At
that time the Camanea was
flying the revolutionary flag
but therebel flag was presently hoisted
to induce the Jupiter to lay to. The
Jupiter escaped from the Camanea
only to be captured later by the
cruiser Republica Santa Catharina
Having failed to catch the Jupiter the
Camanea attacked the insurgent ship
Italia, but she also got away from the
gunboat to be overhauled later by a
Urguayan gunboat near Maldonada
All the arms and ammunition on board
were thrown into the sea before the
Italia was taken. 1t is reported that
General Sagaiva is still oeseiging

DALLAS, Tex, July 90 AT an early
hour this morning Sheriff Ben E.
Cabell received message from Sheriff
]. NJ. Meredith of Ellis county asking
him to send the bloodhounds as q
young girl had been ravished and
murdered last night at farmhouse
four miles from Ennis. The dogs and
two deputy sheriffs were sent down on
the morning train, Later dispatch
was ceived stating that Frances M -.
Cerevinka or JehnKe, aged II years,
was ravished and murdered on the Jno.
Boren farm four miles from Ennis The
unfortunate girl went to the creek to
water the horse. She did not return.
Search was instituted and the body
was found in the river. The crime of
rape had been perpetrated and then
the victim had been Drained with
heavy instrument. There was great
excitement in this city and large
number of citizens went to Ennis TO
join in the search.
At o'clock the news came that Ed
House, the perpetrator of the terrible
crime, had been arrested by Marshal
s. o. Price of Ennis, City Marshal
George Kennedy of Waxahachie aud
Deputy Sheriff Fred Meredith. The
officers mounted horses, placed their
prisoner on another and fastened to
Ferris. The mob started from Ennis
to intercept them. The officers reached
the railroad first, boarded the sand
train and came to Dallas. 1t was
close call,as 1000 citizens came not 100
yards away, when the engineer threw
open the throttle and let her go. At
o'clock the party arrived in Dallas and
House was taken to Jail. Not half
dozen people in the city outside of
Sheriff Cabell and his force knew of
the presence of the negro in
the city. The prisoners, two
deputy sheriffs and THE STATES
MAN correspondent were at the
tank of the Texas and Pacific railway
near the bridge. Price and Kennedy
and the rapist and murderer boarded
the train and departed for Fort Worth.
House is tall, well built negro about
80 years old and a vicious looking
brute. He is married and lives on the
farm where the horrible deed was
perpetrated. Marshal Price stated that
the evidence of Houses guilt is con-
elusive. He is the ravisber and muir
derer Of defenseless and pure young
girl. 1t is safe to bet if the people of
Dallas knew that House was in the city
he would not have been permitted to
escape trial in Judge Lynch's court.

Gold Digging Said to be Going On Near the
Capital City.


Capital City.
Realizing the feet that silver Is des-
tined to become back issue and that
gold and that alone will form the mo-
tive power of the world it would seem
that Austin was verify going to be in
the swim, from all reports. The story
as told places the great fields of gilt
tering gold near the Capital city. 1t
is said that for weeks past able and
distinguished gentlemen assisted by
some horny handed sons of toll have
been laboriously working in the sun
cleaning the rich harvest and laying
il by for the rainy day. 1t is claimed
that all this has occurred within,a
reasonable number of leagues from
Austin, as the crow flies. 1t is claimed
further that the rich harvest is in the
shape of nuggets the size OF bird eggs
near the sun face of the earth and re-.
quires little work to get at. The
above is what is claimed. AS to what
are facts the future must develop,
But you may expect any morning to
see notice in your paper that Austin
has pay dirt in the neighboghood that
is reaping rich harvest for the own
ers. Again, you may see notice that
the great fields of gold have proven a
myth. Be that as it may, the claim
is certainly made now that gold does
exist in the height orhood OF this city
and that it is being mined. =

EXTENSIVE FIRES.
Two Business Blocks Destroyed in Long
Island City Yesterday,


LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y, July 21.-
Two entire blocks of buildings in this
city were destroyed by fire early this
morning. The new st. Mary's Roman
Catholic church just completed at o
cost of $500 600 is totally desti Dyed.
The parsonage was the first of tho
buildings thoroughly Quilted by the
flames. The costly new parochial
school, which had never been used,
was also destroyed, The flames start
ed In Gray's Refrigerator factory ina
the fourth story, and spread rapidly
through the large stock of dry timber.
Southerly winds carried the flames
and soon the whole block bordered
by Jackson avenue on the west, by
Vernon avenue and Fourth streets and
Fifth street on the north was in
flames The fire department could do
nothing to stop the progress of the
flames, Help was asked from Brook
Ign, but before it arrived the entire
block in which the fire started was
doomed. After burning nearly an
hour the fire leaped across to the OPP
posite buildings ON Fourth and Fifth
streets, and the firemen were power
less to check their progress. These
burned blocks made up the business
portion of the First ward. More than,
hundred families have been rem
dered homeless. The loss is about
100000. At 2:30 p III. the tower of
the Catholic church fell with crash
and wrecked what remained of the
roof of the main building.
