WITH A FAIR BRIDE.
Judge W. B. Hopkins Returns From
Dallas and Surprises His Friends.

From the Corpus Christi (Tsras) Caller.
1t will no doubt be with much surprise
that the many friends Of County Judge
Hopkins will learn, on reading this morn
ing's Caller that he returned from Dallas
last night accompanied by fair bride. On
last Monday the judge, without saying aught
to his friends, packed his trunk and quietly
left the city over the Arkansas Pass railroad.
Nobody knew Of his intentions except two
or three confidential friends and of course
these kept mum until the affair was over
By some means, however, Madam Rumor
got an inkling that everything was not all
right, and the day after his departure the
judges name was whispered about in con-
nection with weddings, etc. Nobody save
the two or three confidential friends, how
ever, knew for certain, and these acted in
way to discourage Madam Rumor. But the
truth will not always remain hid, and by
yesterday it had become known to quite a
number of Judge Hopkins's friends that he
had actually given up the life of bachelor
to play the more important role of husband.
The wedding occurred Wednesday evening,
the 18th, at o'clock, and the name of the
fair one who has agreed to share the joys
and woes of Nueces county's able young
Judge, was Miss Ola Wright, daughter OF
Mrs. Geo. Wright and sister of Mr.. 0. B.
Wright, prominent people of Live Oak coun-
ty. For some time past the bride had been
teaching school at Dallas and it was there
that the wedding took place, the affair be-
ing very quiet and attended only by very
few intimate friends of the contracting par
ties. AS soon as the marriage ceremony
was performed the happy couple took the
train for San Antonio, at which place they
arrived Thursday, remaining there until
yesterday, when they came on to Corpus
Christi being welcomed at the depot by a
number of friends. The bride is beautiful
and accomplished young lady and belongs
to an old and prominent family. The groom
is the present judge of Nueces county and
is one of our leading young men as well as
one of the most popular. They will make
their home in this city and at present are
stopping at Prof Brooks's. In rendering
its congratulations to Judge Hopkins and
bis lovely bride, the Caller only voices the
sentiment of numberless friends in wishing
Tor them long life of happiness and USE
fitness, attended with Just clouds enough
to make glorious sunset when their day is
done and life's journey draws to an end.
Judge Hopkins is son of Rev. Dr. A.
G. Hopkins, of this town. We do not know
the bride, but we can congratulate her,

1t seems to be difficult matter to fix with
precision the blame for the killing of citi
zens at Roanoke last Wednesday, but the
whole wretched affair affords a valuable H.
lustration of the merits of lynch law. The
known facts, briefly stated, are these: The
negro, Smith, having enticed Mrs. Bishop,
an aged white woman, into house, robbed
her Of what money she had and followed
the robbery with a murderous assault with
out apparent motive. He was shortly after
ward captured near town by Detective Bald
win, of the n & W, who protected the
prisoner at the point Of pistol from the
menacing mob, excited to madness by the
sickening appearance of the injured wom-
an; and carried him on horseback TO the
jail Anticipating an attempt to lynch, the
mayor of the city called out the local mill
tary. An attack at the side of the Jail be-
tween and o'clock in the evening drove
the police and part of the military inside,
and they fred from within on the advancing
mob. The main body of military remained
without, at the front Of the Jail, and they
also fired at the same time, perhaps without
the word OF command Eight men were
killed aud about thirty wounded,-none of
them participants in the assault upon the
prison. Testimony differs as to Who if any
one, gave the order to fire. Later the same
night Smith was conveyed away from the
Jail and hidden in the woods outside of the
city, but he was discovered next morning,
hanged and shot, and his body was burned
in the streets of Roanoke. The city was in
great disorder during the day, and repeated
threats were made against the mayor and
the officers of the law and the military, but
quiet was finally restored, largely through
the efforts of citizens committees, the Ma
sonic and other orders, and the acting mayor.
Mayor Trout, who was wounded in the foot
by shot from the mob, went to Lynchburg
aud thence to Richmond His action in en-
des Z TO protect the prisoner is general
ly ended The wounded are all ex-
pec' % recover. !

nno poes the FIIlbuslerIng :

The ilibustering Senators are Teller and
Wolcott of Colorado, Stewart and Jones OF
Nevada. and Dubois of Idaho. All Of them
are Republicans They are delaying the
business of the Congress of the United
States. delaying the repeal of bill which
is paralyzing industry and depriving thou
sands of honest and willing workmen OF the
means of earning their daily bread and
bringing countless thousands Of women aud
children to hunger and want. BY reason OF
the conduct of these flibusterers hundreds
ofthousands of farmers will find it more diff.
cult than ever to keep the wolf from the
door through the coming winter.
Let Us see who it is that is taking this
stand for dishonest dollars and the purchase
by the government of silver which is not
wanted. with gold, which is wanted. Sen
ators Teller aud Wolcott represent Popu-
lation of $4,000, large portion of which
they doubtless misrepresent. Senators
Stewart and Jones represent population OF
5000. less than that of Frederick county,
Nd. aud not much mere than half as great
as that of Baltimore county. Dubois rep
resents, let us say, one half Of the popula-
ton of Idaho, or some $4,000 people. The
entire constituency Of the FIVE flibustering
Senators combined is less than the popula-
ton Of Baltimore city This Insignificant
number is antagonizing sixty-fve million
people Of the United States, and their rep
resentatives have the business industries OF
the country by the throat. There must be
something wrong in a system under which
such a monstrous wrong is possible.-Bat-

THE FREE PRESS, Charles Town, W. Va,
has entered upon the eighty-third year OF
its publication. Though venerable in years,
THE FREE Press is one Of the sprightliest
and mostably conducted weekly papers pub
lished in the Virginias. 1t simply states q
fact when it asserts that sit denies its space
to what is injurious and degrading, and
gives its support to what is honest and ele-
waiting in local life and in the affairs of
State aud nation. "-Bdhimore Sun.

The personal animosity exhibited by SEN
ator Stewart, of Nevada yesterday in his
scurrilous attack upon President Cleveland
for recommending the repeal Of the Sher-
man act, contrary TO the Senator's interest,
indicates the low plane of motive and feel
lug upon which some public men are con-
tent to move. They are incapable Of appre-
ciating a course inspired By a lofty sense OF
duty, but must grovel in the ditch Of debas-
ing suspicious and bespatter great names
with the venom of their malice 1t Is to be
regretted that Senator Stewart should, as
respects the President, so far forget the
courtesy of the Senate" to which be is just
now attaching so much Importance. His
recital of the steps By which Mr.. Cleveland
rose, without money or bribery, from an
Obscure station to his present position can
not injure the object Of the Senator'S hatred.
1t but widens the contrast between the abii-
ity, methods and achievements Of the man
who became President of the United States
and those of a man who became only Sena-
tor of a rotten borough. How long, it may
be asked, viii Southern Senators be content
to follow the lead of the Senator from Ne
vada Baltimore Sun.

The Roanoke Times predicts the following:
Colonel O'Ferrall and the entire Demo
cratic ticket will receive in November a
larger percentage Of the total vote than has
been cast for any ticket, Republican, Read
iuster or Democratic, since the war. Col.
O'FerralPs nomination was due to ground
swell of politics similar to that which car
ried President Cleveland into Office. The
Democracy loves fearlessness and honesty
in politics. Particularly was the young
Democracy Of Virginia drawn to his sup
port by admiration for his dash and spirit,
his geniality and his absolute courage"
The Lynchburg Ne,ss that did not, we
believe, support the nomination Of Colonel
OFerrall, now that he is the nominee, says
"Colonel O'Ferrall is an aggressive canvass
er. man of ambition and industry, and he
NAV be relied on to make hard and cease
less fight for personal and party success
As the nominee of the Democratic party, he
is entitled to receive the loyal support OF
every man who processes allegiance to that
party"
