been in Austin for the past eight
months in charge of the plant. Only
few days since he was Joined by his
wife and 12-year-old daughter. He
was so years of age.
Mr.. Vlvo's death will be a great
surprise and grief to the people OF

the appearance of having very hardy
constitution. Always polite and cour-
teous, gentleman at all times and in
all places, he has gained for himsete p
host of friends since his residence
here. The funeral will take place
this morning at 8 o'clock from st.

GALVESTON, Aug. 1S.--Judge Dun
can on behalf of the International and
Great Northern concluded his argu-
mept in the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas and International and Great
Northern injunction suit. 1t was a

closed the argument on the plea
in abatement filed by the Internation-
al and Great Northern, and the court
adjourned until tomorrow, when it is
expected that Judge Stewart will pass
on the issues involved. If the plea in

the case will then come up on injunc-
ton proceedings, and may drag
through another week.

TOO PREVIOUS.
LONDON, Aug. ia special to the
Times from Calcutta says: 1t is the
general opinion here that the govern
ment has chosen the wrong moment to
lower the rate of Indian council drafts.
1t is believed the government should
have held out two or three weeks
longer until the export trade devel-
oped. In the meantime it should issue
treasury bills to meet shortness in
funds.

Grent Chances.

Ill the ranks of a certain company of New York volunteers there was an Irish man who afforded an immense amount of amusement as well as considerable annoyance to all who came in contact with him. It was said that the reception of any order, save one to fall in" for dinner or for pay, always found him not quite ready.
 He Was fertile i'll excuses to an aston lshiny degree. He was perhaps ill sev- rrAl battles. Nut that is not certain.
 One morning after the war was over this lrishman appeared at the house of his old commander with a request that that gentleman would give him bit of paper to git him pinsion wid."
 Not liking hatly to refuse the request, which the man had come many miles to prefer. the commander put him off with some evasion. but when the Irishman appeared a second time he said firmly:
 Mike. you are not entitled to pen sion. You were never wounded"
 No" said Mike, with an ingratiating smile. its not so much the wounds l got, but yc might shpake of the chances was afthcr havin!"-Youth's Con- pauiun.

Very Funny.

''It's funny" said the street car con- ductor, 'how things run in this busi- ness. Now, if carry one armed man i'll t!lc morning. I'm pretty sure to carry one armed men all day"
 live noticed that" said the conduct or who was of duty and who was rid ing down town in the rear seat. Same way with one legged men too. Beats all how many men there are in this town who have lost parts of themselves"
 That's right" said the first conduct or. Il noticed that when 1 came down the other afternoon. Up at the corner of Bryant street one armed man got on. Tw" blocks farther down q man with one of his legs gone climbed aboard. Then it was a steady stream of thcm-a man with both arms cut of and a man with both legs cut off. Then came q man with both arms and one leg off, who was toted around by another man, and a man with both legs and one arm of. Then there was a man who had an eye gone and a man with both ears cut off.
 Funniest thing, though, was a man who got on at Swan street who looked to be all right. He made some sort of sign to me when l took his fare, and didn't understand it. So 1 asked him what he meant. He made another sign. Can't you talk said l, and he shook his head and opened his mouth. and I'll be jig gerrl if his tongue wasn't cut off,"
 That was sorter queer" said the other conductor, but it was kinder lucky too."
 "Iow do you make that out?" asked the other conductor. Il don't see how the poor Cuss was in luck"
 "Oh, yes, he was" replied the other conductor. He couldn't possibly be such blamed liar as you are. See?'

properly. Next to R. D. Sears, who was champion seven years, Campbell has made the best record of any player in America, and now that his three successive victories have given him permanent possession of the costly championship cup of the United States National Lawn Tennis association he can gracefully rest upon his past honors.
 Clarence Hobart of the New York Tennis club is quite generally looked upon as the coming champion. As early as March IA he entered the opening games of the year at St. Augustine, Fla, and it was at once surmised that he had designs on the ma tional championship. He has been playing steadily and in rare form ever since and has already defeated all the formidable as- pirants for the event of the year at New port, including w. P. Knapp, who is con sidered his most dangerous rival.
 Knapp has rare endurance, and he plays set after set of eNhauStinE tennis with fortitude and persistence that are apt to wear out the best of players
 w. \. Larned's recent victory over Ho- bart at the Long Island championship was surprise, as he was not considered quite in llohart's class, but he won with such comparative ease that he iS now regarded as having championship material in him. It may have been Hoharts off day, how ever, and the New York expert may turn the tables at Newport. This seems quite probable, for Hobart has beaten I.arned twice this season.
 Fred II. Huvcy will make very strong bid for the championship. He has been one of the best American players for srv- eral seasons, and last year he won the all corners match at Newport and then chal lenged Champion Campbell. who defeated him. Hovry has been beaten four times by Hobart this year and is hardly the New York player equal. Hovey has been vic tor:ouS over Larned twice and many ten his players believe he will be the one to meet IlUO1rC ln the finals for nC all corners.

A FARMERS FREAKS.
Tears Down His Earn and Slaves Half His
 Face and Head.


 DANBURY, Conn. Aug. 2l.-William Ward White, well to do farmer of this place, has become insane. A few days ago he tore down his barn, and the next day he chopped down two large maple trees that had been planted on the lawn in front of his house by his father many years ago. He said that he was going to tear down his house next week, He has been taken to the almshouse and placed in the insane ward until he can be taken to the state insane asylum at Middlctown.
 When placed in custody, the poor old man had shaved of his hair, mustache and whiskers on one side.
 He owns much valuable property and fancies he owns thousands of acres of the best land in this section.
 One of his vagarics k to refuse all food that is not prepared by his friends. and a short time ago, when placed under re straint for 30 days, refused during that time to touch food and water that was not brought to him hy relatives or friends
 He is now trying to starve himself be cause. he says. his former friends have proved themselves to be his enemies and he cannot trust them. He says there are but four good perSons-the Almighty, the Saviour, the Virgin Mary and himself. All others were creatures no better than worms.

Chicngo's Unemployed Gather.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2l.-At the call of the Chicago Tailors' union for a mass meeting of the unemployed, Metropolitan hall was completely filled with crowd of between 1,5OO and l,SOo. The majority of the gath ering was composed of Jews. While the main body was of men. there was a gener- ous sprnkling of women present. The addresses were by well known labor agi- tators and anarchists, foremost among whom was Lucy Parsons. Mrs. Parsons delivered an address full of lurid pictures of famine and want and thrilling exhor- tations to concerted action against the dominating capitalist that set her auditors in frenzy of wild applause as she con cluded

THE FRENCH ELECTION.
The Panama Scandal Weapon Proved to
 Be a BoomeranK

PARIS, Aug. 2l.-The general parlia- mentary election in France was unexpect- edly free from disorders and even ex- citement. Excepting slight disturbances in the Var. where M. Clemenceau, the Radical leader, had a hot fight with his slanderers, no trouble is reported. In Paris the poll, although much larger than usual was quite featureless. The returns have come in slowly from all districts outside of Paris. The returns received up to this morning show the election of 15O Repub- hcans. of the 'Rallied,' 8. Revisionists and l5 Royalists.
 In S3 of the districts heard from rebal- lots will be necessary. Ex-Minister Jules hoche and Leon Say are among the candi- dates to take part in the reballots. NJ Basly and M.Lemendin, the socialists who were expelled from Belgium at the time ot the miners international congress in Brussels last May. were elected. NJ. Papil- laud. the anti-Semitic subeditor of La I.ibre Parole, was defeated.
 According to the results already ascer- taiued in about half the districts. the Re publiCans have gained a more decisive vic tory than was expected. The socialist vote Is much below the general estimates of last week. The Rallied" are in a very bad way. Indications are that the opponents of those implicated in the Panama scandal used this weapon too freely and produced a reaction in favor of the besmirched depu- fips

Malcolm Chace, the young Providence ex- pert, is playing in good form and may make strong showing at the all corners match. He is the only player this season who has been victorious over Hobart in two matches, and if he and Hobart meet in the finals Providence may carry away the champion ship. Hobart has not succeeded in defeat ing Chace this year.
 Stevens is playing very strongly, but Hovey has beaten him, and he is not con sidered a dangerous champion hip candi- date Wrenn is not up to his l,st year s form.
 Sam T. Chase, the western singles cham lion, is hardly in the same class as Hobart, Knapp, Hovey and Chace, and the same statement applies to W. H. Taylor, ex- champion of California C. B. and S R. Neel of Chicago university made such a good showing against Hobart and Hovey at Chicago recently that they may make it very interesting for the eastern cracks if they enter the Newport match In all probability, however, the champion of 1895 will be Hobart, Knapp, Hovey or Larned

A CHICAGO MAZEPPA.
Arabs Take a Fearful Revenge on One of
 Tholr Race.

AhAtS.
 CHICAGO, Aug. 2l-As a result of a wild light in the wild east show iuclosure in Midway plaisance four Bedouins are more or less severely hurt, and three of the sons of the desert languish in Woodlawn police station.
 Just before sunrise the three men who now lie behind the bars stole from their beds, and taking out one of the horses fixed upon it a sort of harness, with long rope dangling behind. Then they went to the tent in which Eastab Abahad slum- oered. They bounced upon him and be fore he was fairly awake had bound and gagged him. One of the thongs was passed under his shoulders, forming a loop at the end. Through this the rope was passed and securely fastened.
 Then the animal was lashed into a mad race about the nclosurc Around and around flew the desert courscr, dragging the unfortunate Abahad over the soft earth. It was fearful torture With the first leap of the animal one of it's hoofs struck the victims head, laying the skull bare for three inches. Every time the horse came near the averaging trio he was un- mercifully dashed until he flew about the ring with the speed of the wind The up roar aroused the sleeping camp. and soon the place WAS filled with the cries of the dusky men and women. Two turbaued men rushed to the assistance of the flying Abahad, but the three Bedouins respousi- ble for the outrage beat them back with sword and lance. There was mOmentary Hull when from the tents rushed a dozen brave fellows. Half of them were armed with swords and bayoneted carbincs and descended upon the avengers with yell A hard fight followed. in which sabcrs were freely used with bloody effect The trio made a bold stand. but were beaten into subjcCtion before many minutes.
