A family of colored people who
moved into town few days ago, were
given a rather rough reception last
night. Early in the evening their
dog was shot aud badly wounded. A
few hours later the house was fired into

bombarded with rocks. The family

for such work, it is reasonable to sup

a desirable acquisition, and selected
this method offrightening them away.

sharp fight with party of bandits

the wounding and capturing of Eca-

BODY OF A WOMAN FOUND.
She Had Been Ravished and Then Foully
Murdered.

special to The Statesman.
FORT WORTH, Jan. N.-This after
noon about O'Clock the dead body of
white woman about so years of age
was found in the outhoase of q vacant
dwelling house in the western part of
the city. A bullet wound that had gone
through the head from right to left,
entering between the temple and
right ear aud going out under the left
eye, told the cause of death. The
door OF the house was fastened on the
outside. The woman was Miss Mag
gle Tewemy, a teacher of music and
painting. 1t was evident she had
been murdered the night before and
the body placed where it was found.
Subsequent examination disclosed the
fact that she had been ravished. She
had been missing since last Friday,
and it is the theory that she had i'm
prisoned in some house not very far
from where the body was found, re.
peatedly assaulted, murdered last
night and the body hidden. The
wound was from 45-calibre pistol,
there we're no powder marks on the
face. The hands were badly gnawed
by rats. Her lower limbs and part of
her badly were scratched and bruised
until no doubt remained of the fate
that had preceded her death. Thus far
no clue to the murderer.

DRUGGED AND ROBBED.
A German Eaticed Into Saloon and Has
$4,000 Taken From Him.

NoSSS
CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-Albert Heyder,
a German from Buffalo, reported to
the police today that he had been
robbed of $4,000 cash by Josie Rice, a
doubtful character. Heyder, who is
about 40, had just come from Calves
ton, Tex, where his uncle, Edward
Heyder, had died and left him a for
tune of $4,000. He had the estate
settled up and was on his way back
to buffalo with the proceeds on his
person. In his pocket he carried
$37 All in drafts and in a buckskin bag
which he had sewed to his unders hirt
under his left arm he had $4,000
in greenbacks. He was enticed
to the Clark saloon and drugged.
When he awOke some hours later in
another building he found that his
shirt sleeve and buckskin had been
cut open and the cash gone, as was
also the woman. He was feeling dizzy,
and accepted the advice of a colored
woman he met in the hall, to go back
to sleep until morning, when he would
report the matter to the police. When
the officers. were finally notified the
woman was arrested in maudlin con-
dition and with only $4 or $5 in her
pocket The police are looking for
Lena Black, negress, who is sup
posed to be an accessory.

CLEVELAND TALKS.
Arguments Put Forward in Favor Of See-

retsry Bayard's Reappointment.
New YORK, jar. 24-Regarding
the presence of Mr.. Bayard at Lake.
wood and Mr.. Cleveland's guests and
friends, Mr.. Cleveland says: at must
be remembered that the president
elect looks upon the reformation of the
tariff system as the most important
work introduced to him. If the presi-
dent-elect lie to have time and oppor-
tunity TO carry out his difficult work,
he and his friends both recognize that
tried men must relieve him of the de-
tail and especially of those foreign
complications that arise to trouble
almost every administration" One of
the arguments put forward in favor of
Bayard's reappointment to mis- old
position is that questions now impor-
tant in foreign affairs are almost
identical with those that came during
Mr.. Cleveland's former administra-
tion. MIR. Bay ard would be prepared
to. enter upon his work almost
without any necessity for the delay
inseperable from the choice of new
secretary.

No One Wants the Office.

OZARK, Ark, Jan. 24.-A peculiar
and almost unheard of state Of affairs
now exists in this, Franklin county.
Last September Samuel Howell was
elected county treasurer, but failed to
make his bond and qualify. Governor
Englethen ordered special election
for Jan. 80, to ill the vacancy. The
time allowed by law for the certifying
of candidates to co.election as COM
missiOners expired last Friday and
no names have been certified. The
bond is $4,000 aud the fees from the
office only amount to $500 per year
This, with the law that prevents any
deposits of county funds save as
special Deposits, is the main reason
that noe seems to care to be q can
didate.

MISSISSIPPI WHITE CAPS
IN SQUADS OF A DOZEN OR MORE

They Say No Labor Must Be Employed,
White or Black, But That the Girls Of

New ORLEANS, Jan. 24.-The morn

DR.. JONES TRIAL.
The Defense Tries Hard For Continuance
Of the Case But Is Overruled.

Special to the Statesman
DALLAS, Jan. 24.-The DIR. Jones
trial was resumed This morning be-
fore Judge Charles Frederick Tucker.
The attorneys for DR.. Jones made a
strenuous fight for continuance of
the case on the ground of absent wit
nesses, but the court overruled the
motion and intlmated very broadly
that the main witness in the case is
in Dallas county and easily raised by
the process of the court. The court
room was thronged throughout the
entire day. From 10 o'clock till $50
this evening the work of obtaining a
jury was prosecuted with vigor.
When court adjourned six jurors were
in the box. This bids fair to become
one of the most noted cases in the
criminal annals of Texas and both
sides are moving cautiously.
The defense will be that Veal raw
ished Mrs. Jones. Two years before
she became Mrs. Jones, however, and
Jones slew HIM to avenge the wrong.
The court of appeals held in the ha-
beas corpus trial that this was not
sufficient cause to take the life of
Veal. If the testimony of Mrs. Jones
as to the outrage perpetrated upon
her when she was the widow Bulling-
ton is admitted as evidence Jones
will have show for his white alley.
If the court excludes this evidence the
prisoner will have no defense what
ever. A. large number of character
witnesses are here from Ellis county.
Years ago Captain Veal was charged
with attempting to raviah a promi-
nent lady of that city. He was tried,
convicted and fined $1,000. He was
driven from his church and expelled
from the Masonic order, aud the at
torneys for the defense will attempt to
work in this testimony.

A BRUTE IN HUMAN FORM.
A Father Charged With Raping His Own
Daughter

Special to The Statesman.
DALLAS, Tex, Jan. 2.-The resi-
dents of South Dallas, in the neigh Dor.
hood of the cotton mills, are just itch
ing TO get their hands upon billiard
Todd, a laborer probably 45 years old.
If the stories current are true, Todd is
not man, he is beast.
This morning, Miss Todd, demure
and plump girl of 18 years, called upon
Chief of Police Arnold and between
her sobs unfolded q tale of brutality
that was shocking in it's hideousness.
On October IL, 1892, according to Dora,
her father during the absence of other
members of the family, by threats and
iorce, ravished her. She told her
mother and for the sake of the family
honor the matter was hushed up, the
mother promising to protect her
daughter in the future. On Mon
Gay night he made another attempt
to have carnal intercourse

where she filed information charging
her father with the crime of rape and
warrant was issued for his arrest.
The officers visited the Todd resi-
dence and searched the city high and
low, but the bird that had befOuled
it's own nest had flo Tn. The girl is a
member of the church, works at the
cotton mills and is given most ad-
mirable character by those who know
her. Dora Todd told the chief of po.
lice that her father treated the entire
family badly. This is the reason why
the citizens in the neighborhood of
the cotton mill are ready to engage in
hanging bee on short notice should
billiard Todd fall into their hands.

EN- GLAND.
THE SITUATION IN EGYPT.

LONDON, Jan. 24.-Some surprise
was expressed yesterday over the
news from Cairo that Lord Cromer has
expressed himself so confidently in re-.
gard to the prompt suppression of any
outbreak that might occur. Today's
advices give ground for Cromer's con-
fidence. His lordship is assured of
the entire fidelity of the native Egyp-
tian army to the British cause, and
with the British army of occupation
cooperating with the natives. 1t is
believed that any attempt at insurrec-
tion will be promptly crushed. Cairo
dispatch says Lord Cromer called
upon the khedive this morning to in
form him that the British ca binet had
ordered an increase of the British gar
rison. Dispatches do not state how
the khedive received the news. Lat
est dispatches from Cairo state
that the hostility of the khedive
toward the English shows no signs
of abating. In answering the threats
uttered by Lord Cromer to the effect
that complete change in the regime
might be necessary in the event of
disturbances to British authority, the
khedive replied he only yielded to
force. The khedive has been strength
ened in his attitude of antagonism to-
wards the English Dy deputations
from the provinces headed by local
officials hostile to British control.
These deputations have addressed
the khedive in flattering language,
congratulating him on his opposition
to the English.
