william Ziegler. Of 81 Wallace avenue.
said that while he was partly intoxicated
last night the two men took him to q
vacant lot on Summit avenue and robbed
him Of ST, his gold watch and chain and
a silver ring. The prisoners denied the
charge, but Ziegler's ring was found on
Mangin's finger.
The prisoners were held for the Grand
Jury.
AS they were being led to the prison
Philip Tully charged them with embez-
element. The men had formerly worked
for him in the peddling business, and he
says they collected money which they
never turned over to him. He heard of
their arrest last night on the charge of
burglary, and thought II was a good
time to confront them with the charge
of embezzlement.
On this charge the two men were held

KILLED WHITE YOU WAIT.

Little Rock, Dec. 5.-A special from
Parkdale, Ark, says: This place is still
on the warpath. Eugene Thompson and
Wiley Maxwell exchanged shots with
their winchesters today but no one was
hurt. Thompson is now under arrest fol
assault with intent to kill. He was cap
tured after a desperate chase under the
bank of Bayou Bartholomew. Maxwell
was arrested, tried and acquitted, but
Thompson was fined $50 for carrying a
pistol and bound over to the grand jury.
The sheriff will start to Jail tonight with
him if he does not make his bond. John
Turnbow, who was shot few nights ago,
died, and one of the negroes has also
died. This is three men that have been
killed here in the last week. The people
are all going armed now and every man
has winchester. None of the negroes
implicated in the killing of Turnbow have
been arrested. The sheriff is making his
headquarters at Parkdale and says he
will remain here until the excitement sub,
sides.

MARRIED A NEGRESS.

Paris, KY, Dec. 5.-Jack Howerton,
aged %, young white farmer living
near Paris, was married in Cincinnati to
Matilda Taylor, a negro woman of this
city. Howerton is related to prominent
Bourbon families. Howerton and his
negro bride were at the Kansas City
passenger depot at 11:45 today waiting
for a train. Quite a crowd collected,
curious to see the couple, and some of
the bystanders began to guy Howerton
and his negro bride. Howerton became
enraged and drew pistol and fired at the
foremost of the crowd, the ball striking
Butch Coughlin, an innocent spectator,
in the fleshy part of his right leg. The
crowd closed in on Howerton and bruised
him up considerably. Howerton was ar
rested and is now in jail.

THE GALVESTON TRAGEDY
TWO MORE OF THE ALBERT
CHILDREN DEAD.
The Father Overcome With Grief At the
Sight of His Dead and Dying Child
ren-Mrs. Albert In Jail, Charged
With Lunacy.

Galveston, Dec. 5.-(Special.) 1.-The SEN
sation of the hour is the poisoning of five
of her children by Mrs. Louis Albert
which was briefly stated in last nights
dispatches and at that time Willie, aged
and Della aged 10, were dead, since
then Lizzie, aged s, and Dora, aged &,
have died. Emma, aged IL, is still alive
and hopes are entertained for her ulti-
mate recovery.
The scene at the once happy home was
agonizingly sorrowful. Louis Albert the
father and his 14-year-old daughter
Wilhelmina, the only one which escaped
the poisoned wine given by the demented
mother, were overcome with grief. When
the house was visited just prior to the
death of little Lizzie, the distracted and
nearly crazed father was bending over
her pallid form and gave utterance to his
lamentations saying: "Two of my child
rem are laid out in the other room, Dora
lies dead there (pointing to the foot of the
bed and now Lizzie is dying. L can tell
it-her fingers are turning black Just like
Dora's did before she died. Oh, God,
this is more than | can stand" and he
sank helpless beside his dying child,
while little Wilhelmina stood by sobbing
as if her heart would break.
Kind neighbors were doing all they
could to assuage the grief and sufferings
of the terribly distressed and bereaved
family.
While this fearful distressing scene vas
being enacted at the house the author of
it all, Mrs. Albert was placedly sitting
in her cell in the Jail. She was clad in Il
black dress and dark shawl was care
lessly thrown over her head, when asked
rs this Mrs. Albert?" She replied
promptly, 81 am the lady"
''How are the children"
''Some of them are dead" she replied
and then gave the following story: Eyes,
| gave the children the poison; | wanted
to kill them. have been ill for the past
eight months and knew | could not full
fill my obligations to my babies. They
are better off dead. 1 am not crazy and
knew what | was doing. | have no fear
of death and will hang for the crime l
have committed. My first intention was
to give them strychnine, but when |
tried to purchase it the druggist refused
to furnish it to me. l then determined
to give them morphine. 1 have succeed
ed in my purpose and am satisfied"
When asked why she poisoned her
children she replied: "That is my affair;
1 had my reason to kill them. They are
now better off and the only regret l have
is that | did not take the dose l had pre-
pared for myself" She then lapsed into
silence.
About eight months ago Mrs. Albert
lost little child and since then she Mt
times acted queerly, but no one thought
she premeditated the frightful deed she
has committed, as her husband was pros
porous and she was surrounded with
every comfort.
The charges against her are lunacy.

IRRIGATION CONVENTION.
OF ARID LANDS IS
DISCUSSED.
A Committee Appointed to Formulate n
Bill to Present to the Legislature.
Permanent Organization to
Be Effected

San Antonio, Dec. 5.-(Special. THE
second days session of the state irriga-
ton convention was devoted principally TO
the discussion of matters pertaining to
the retaining of the arid lands of the
state, and many valuable suggestions and
important information were brought out.
A resolution was adopted, providing for
the appointment of legislative committee
whose object it shall be to formulate n
bill to be presented before the next legis-
lature, enacting the necessary irrigation
laws. 1t was shown in the discussion
that the irrigation or water laws of Texas
are practically worthless so far as en-
couraging irrigation enterprises is con-
cerned, and that capital cannot be in
duced to come to the state for investment
in such projects until appropriate laws
are passed, affording them just protec-
ton, are enacted.
Chairman McLeary appointed the fol-
lowing committees:
Permanent committee on legislation
Gen. f. NJ. Clarke, Fort Worth, chair
man; Hon. J. II. Reagan, William Cas-
sin, w. d. Hornaday j. l.. Slayden, j. ID.
Whelpley, Maj. G. Il. Dutton, Judge J. H.
McLeary Henry Sayles.
A committee was appointed to prepare
bylaws and charter for a permanent or
ganization to be known as the Texas IT.
rigation association.
Maj. G. d. Dutton of the United States
| army then read paper on the subject
of Irrigation Laws. He reviewed the
history of irrigation laws in the different
| Western states and pointed out the legal
! Instructions that had been overcome by
| those who inaugurated the irrigation
movement in the states of California and
Colorado.
Following the reading of this paper
| there was discussion of the question,
What are the Best Means and Methods
| of Irrigation?
The discussion was opened by Charles
Corner, civil engineer of the state rail
way commission. Mr.. Corner stated that
| he had made thorough investigation of
the arid section of the state and had Sc
| cured the data showing the elevation of
every stream in Texas where it crosses
the different lines of railroad. He
pointed out different places in the state
where dams and reservoirs for the stor-
age of water can be constructed for mod
crate cost and Il water supply secured
in that manner sufficient to irrigate vast
| areas of land. He stated that the waters
of the Rio Grande could be used in
canals for irrigating purposes and the en-
tire valley of that stream could be con-
verified into vertable garden of Eden.
A number of other practical talks on
| the subject of building reservoirs, etc.,
were made but it was the sense of the
convention that very little work in the
way of establishing irrigation enterprises
in the state can be successfully carried
out until proper laws governing them
and capital invested are adopted by the
state legislature.
