A HORRIBLE MURDER COMMITTED.
THE BODY OF ANDERSON
HARRIS FOUND SWINGING
To the Dash Board of His Hack
The Deed Supposed to Have Been
Committed by Colored Man
Who Admired the Wife of the
Deceased-The Scene.

The body of Anderson Harris, a
hack driver, living at 500 Indian
ola street, was found hanging to
his hack about Z o'clock this morn
ing, on one of the GOliad roads, or
what is known as Goliad lane,
about 600 yards east of South
Presa street, by J. Bielstein, a
dairyman who was on his way to
San Antonio. The horses attached
to the hack were standing quietly,
and when Mr.. Bielstein drove up,
he hitched the animals and sum-
moned the police authorities and
Coroner f. Griff Jones. The body
was left in the same position as
when found, in order that the cor
oner might view the surroundings.
When Coroner Jones arrived on
the scene, Harris was hanging on
the left side Of the hack. His left
leg had caught in the foot board
and the right leg was fastened to
an iron beam underneath the lamp.
The head was downward, almost
touching the hub Of the wheel, and
the arms were outstretched.
Coroner Jones, after viewing the
body, ordered it removed to the
undertaking establishment of J..
A. Mccormick & Co., where it will
be prepared for burial, a death
certificate having been issued.
fEWhen the clothes were removed
in the dead room, an examination
was made. The man had been
shot twice in the head, both balls
entering behind the left ear. A
bullet hole was also noticed in the
left shoulder pit, the one which is
supposed to have been intended
for the heart. The face was badly
powder burned, and Judging from
this fact, it is thought the murder
er was not far off when he fired.
The skull was cracked also, where
the assassin had dubbed his vic.
tim.
Harris is a cOlOred man, aged
about 46 years, and has lived at
the above address, for number of
years. He leaves a wife and two
grown daughters to mourn his
sudden and horrible death.
CAUSE OF THE CRIME.
The wife of the deceased has
been i'll for the past nine days, and
At times has been raving maniac
a reporter, as soon as a word of
the crime was received, repaired
hurriedly to the Harris residence
to ascertain what information
the family had received of
the murder. The oldest
daughter said that she had heard
her father was hurt, but knew
nothing more. "If he is injured ~
said she, 'it was done by Austin
Brown, and I'll kill him when |
see him."
"WhO and what is this man
Brown yOn speak of" asked the
reporter.
"Well," said the girl, Brown has
been coming around our house foI
long time, and one day, before
mama took sick, he came here
while papa was away, and slapped
my mother because she permitted
certain people to call at our house
He did not want mamma to asso
ciate with any one"
The girl then burst into tearl
and exclaimed al must not say
any more. | have said too mucl
now"
The reporter took this Opportun
ity of informing the girl of he
fathers fate. AS soon as she hearC
the word KILLED" uttered, she be
gan crying and said: Brown killed
him Brown killed him ~

Queer Tastes In Eating.

In popular restaurant the other day
at lunch took up what 1 supposed was
a saltbox to sprinkle my roast beef and
was startled by the sudden exclamation
of the waiter, That's sugar" This led
to a conversation in which the waiter
said that in an establishm~n where he
had been employed an Oh gentleman
came in regularly at least three times a
week and ordered a sirloin steak well
broiled, upon which he always poured q
liberal portion of New Orleans molasses.
Another waiter said that on one occa-
sion a young man had ordered powdered
sugar and two dozen oysters and that
he had literally sprinkled the sugar on
the oysters before he ate them. A COM
panion accompanied him and watched
the performance, and the waiter said he
believed it was the result of bet. l
myself recall a lad who attended board
ing school with me, and who invariably
put powdered sugar on his soft boiled
eggs.-New York Press.

It is great deal more sensible to
travel comfortably than to throw away
money for nothing. / would prefer to
have q cabin to myself, even if had to
travel on a second class ship. l do not
see why should have a stranger in my
room. 1t is dreadful lottery, and he
is apt to have very unclean habits. I'm
agine this in a close, stuffy atmosphere,
filed already with the odors of the ship
and the stencil of the machinery. You
cannot ask man for q guarantee of his
position. He is apt to belong to the mid
die class, and think how perfectly horri-
bic it would be to inhabit a room with a
being who has very uncertain notions
about the complete change of linen every
day and whose rule of cleanliness has
been a tub once q week, on Saturday
night.
And then, even if clearly, he might
not wear the right kind of underclothes,
and he might persist in sleeping in night
robes instead Of pajamas, and he might
do a hundred other dreadful things.
Think of watching such creature dress
it would be an awful fascination with
me-and find that he changed his collar
and his cuffs and not his shirt, which,
still glazed and shiny from the manipu.
lations of a Chinaman, would have its
dirt spotted bosom concealed by made
up scarf with-it is too horrible to think
of!-Cor. Vogue.

Money In Wall Street.

New Workers are noted for being
scramblers after money. But they are
just as remarkable for the risks they
take with it when they get it. A man
went through Wall street to the ferry
one day last week with 100000 in the
pocket of his overcoat. He had an UNI.
brella in one hand and cigar between
the fingers of the other. 1t would not
have required an expert pickpocket to
relieve him of his wealth. Yesterday lad
was sent to a banking house to deposit a
certified check for SG5. 900. He went along
swinging it in his hand. In front of the
bank he stopped and tried to balance the
check on the end of his nose. No one
would have believed that what he had
was anything but worthless scrap Of
paper.-New York Times.

Tho VIBRATION of Steamers.

The discomfort of the excessive vibra-
ton on board the fast sailing ocean steam
ers has increased SO much with the in
crease in the speed of travel that investi-
cations have been made into the subject
with view of modifying the inconven-
fence caused to passengers. The usual
idea is that this vibration is due to the
action of the powerful engines. This is
apparently erroneous, for it is now found
that the cause consists solely In the uni.
son between the number of revolutions
of the engines and the number of vibra,
tions of the ship. The smaller the length
of the ship the greater is the number
per unit of its vibrations, and the Longer
the steamer the greater is the correspond
ing time of its vibrations.-New Yorl

With proper care fIagpole ought to

incessant exposure to the elements. OF
course tho best preservative of wood Is
paint, and man who has flagstaff
which has cost him u good sum of

then have to be takcE down to prevent
them from falling of their own weight.
The usual length of pole or top of a
high building is from so to 80 feet. 1t

means of splicing. Boston Herald.
