STAFFORD PoINT, Tex, Feb. c.
Yesterday a half grown negro boy
offered gross insult to Mrs. DR..
Cochran. She reported the matter to
her husband on his return, and the
doctor chastised tho boy. Last night,
while at tho railroad station, Clinton
Edwards, the boys father, met DR..
Cochran, who is one armed man,
and after wordy quarrel the negro
picked up stone with which he fellcd
the doctor to the earth. AS no fell DR..
Cochran seized his pistol and put three
bullets into Edwards, killing him in

William Watts, the station agent Of
tho Southern Pacific, disarmed Cochran,
and then number Of negroes assaulted
him. They accused him OF having as
9aulted Edwards, and demanded his

that he was the guilty party, but the
mob was bent on lynching Watts.
Watts managed to reach the inside of

hold the crowd at bay, and in the mean
time autographed to Richmond, Hous-
ton, Wilker and sister towns for assist

While this was going on the negroes
were also securing reinforcements and
the fiery leaders proposed burning the
depot ard tho town. Just as they were
about to put their designs into execu-

The Information Possessed by Coroner.
saa Fate OF Pretty Jessie WardwelI.
CLEGELAND, September 9. -UnreQuit-
ed love, and love without honor, 1t is
generally believed, caused Jessie Ward
we'll to end her life on the night OF
August at No. Prospect street, In
East Cleveland. But from the hrst
there was mystery about the case, in
volving the man with whom she had
been living unlawfully as
wife. Jessie was born In Ma
yarre, o., twenty-six years ago. She
came to Cleyeland seven years ago and
met Tom Mattingly, better known as
Tom Foster, and fell In love with him.
She sacrificed her honor and lived with
him as wife, though they were not
married. Mattingly fell i'll one day, and
she was left destitute. She sought q
lawyers office for advice and there met
a young attorney, who became infatu-
ated with her at first sight. he offered
her assistance, and she was soon in
stalled as Mrs. Harry Hunter at No. 3
Prospect street. The lawyer passed as
Mr.. Hunter. Mattingly recovered and,
learning the truth, went 10 her and de-
manded a confession. She refused and he
left her, declaring that all was over be-
tween them. Soon thereafter she took
carboic acid and died. The Coroner's
verdict was suicide, but that official
suppressed the name Of the young law
yer. To-day Attorney B. c. Starr filed
affidavits with the Coroner demanding
the holding OF another inquest. In the
affidavits il is claimed that the Coroner
is trying to shield the young lawyer,
and, for that reason,i refusing to make
al open investigation as TO the cause OF
death.
Harry G. Greenaway, in one OF the
affidavits, sWears that Hunter brought
the cArbolic acid TO the house on the
day Of the young woman's death, and
that the lawyer was present
when his mistress died. He also says
that the empty bottle and handker-
chief saturated with carbolic acid were
aiterward found in the yard, Ola
Wardwell, of Chicago, sister OF the
dead woman, demanded an investiga-
tion some days ago, but subsequently
made an affidavit denying the truth OF
the charges she had made.
The young lawyer is said to be a
member Of leading family Of the city.

AFTER The PANIC.

The Republican politicians, in and
out Of Congress, and their organs have
played their last card to continue the
money stringency and have lost.
The people were not to be hoodwink-
ed into crediting the furry to any other
than It's proper source.
The Cleveland PldindeGler sizes the
situation up correctly in pointing out
that the Republican party cannot evade
responsibility for the threatened deficit
in the treasury. The laws passed when
that party was in complete possession
of Congress and the administration in all
! its parts imposed obligations which can
not be evaded until the laws them
selves are changed, and to con-
siderable extent not even then
without violation OF pledged
faith. II is useless to plead that the
last Democratic House made appropria-
lions in excess Of the actual revenues,
though within the estimates. The Re-
publican Senate largely increased the
House appropriations and insisted on
the greater portion Of the increase.
Even then Republican claims were
made that the Democratic House was
niSgardly and crippling the service by
false economy.
The Republican Fiity-frst Congress
set out to disperse the surplus, and it
succeeded but TOO we'll. 1t framed s
tariff with the avowed object OF reduc-
ing importations and If possible shut
ting out some articles altogether, thus
reducing revenues by making duties
nearly or quite prohibitOry. The result
was at FIRST not what was expected, but
the scheme now bids fair to succeed.
The revenues are falling, the necessary
expenditures keep on as before, the sur
plus has disappeared and deficit is
threatened-ali the result Of Republican
rauacity and rec klesSness.
