THE Democratic members of the
ways and means committee of the
House are meeting with the customary
difficulty of the trainers of a tariff bill,
in that they find it difficult to please
everyone. The hardest problem to
solve is that of sugar. If tariff is
put upon it the increased cost will be
felt in every home. On the othc,
hand if the present bounty is removed
and no tariff imposed the sugar indus
try of the South will be seriously
crippled. As some of the Southern
Democrats declare that they will fight

A HORRIBLE SIGHT.
An Unknown Negro Found Dead
on the Railroad Track.

Yesterday morning one of the
excursion trains on the /. & G. n.
road, bound for Austin, suddenly
came to a halt about four miles
north of New Braunfels. The
cause of the stop was the fact that
the engineer saw the body of a
man lying across the track. When
the news was spread through the
different coaches, many people
stepped off and viewed the body,
finding it to be an awful sight. 1t
was the body of a middle-aged ne
gro man. His face was cut into
several pieces, his body was badly
mangled, and his clothes were COW
cred with flesh and blood, to such
an extent that it was almost i'm
possible to ascertain what kind of
clothing he had on. There was
nothing found on his person by
which an identification could be
made, and a description could not
be given, owing to the condition of
the remains.
The body of this cOlored man
was left in charge of some men,
awaiting the arrival of coroner.
1t is generally believed that he
was influenced by liquor, and laid
down across the track to sleep,
when he met his terrible fate.
Some are ready to believe that he
had committed suicide, while
others think he was laid there by
enemies. The real cause Of this
terrifying sight, will likely ever
remain mysterious.

Hightower to prison for 30 days, as
he had been fined recently for

ED NEAL SHOT
By Tom Saunders at a Dance-The
Wound Probably Fatal.

A shooting affray took place
about 3 o'clock yesterday morning
at the home of Mrs. Jane Leonard,
at No. S15 Leona street, where a
dance was being given, in which
Ed Neal was shot by Tom Saun-
ders, through the right nipple.
From all that could be learned,
it seems that Len Neal and Butler
Saunders were having a combat.
Lon being the younger brother of
Ed, the latter engaged in the fight
as did also Tom Saunders. The
tables were turned and two elder
boys then engaged in fight, the
younger brothers having subsidized.
In the wrangle Saunders pulled
out his revolver and shot Neal,
the ball entering through the right
nipple, passing through the right
lung and lodging in the spinal col
umn. AS soon as Neal fell Saun-
ders left for his home near the
Union stock yards, where he was
followed by the mounted officers,
and soon committed to jail. He is
young man about % years of age
and is the son of A. j. Saunders,
who was a candidate at the last
county election for hide and ami
NAL inspector. He was student
at the Alamo business college, and
is quite good looking, and very in
telligent. He now lies in prison
and is heart broken over the affair
on account of his parents.
DIR. Kennedy, who attended Neal,
states that the wound is serious
one, and that it may cause the
death of young Neal.
