Robbed on tho Highway.

Last Thursday, the 2lss, negro
named Wallace, who lives in Amster-
dam, was brought TO jail here upon tho
charge Of assaulting VIM. Crawford, s
white man, on the road between this
place and Amsterdam. Mr.. Crawford It
appears had been to Cloveriale with
something to SELL and in returning was
followed by Wallace, who engaged him
in conversation. When near Trinity
the negro hit Mr.. Crawford on the head
behind the ear, stunning him. The wild
Western spirit animated Wallace. and
1t was question Of money or gore.
Mr.. Crawford gave him fifty cents,
which no told the negro was all he had.
Mr.. Crawford related the facts when he
got to town. On Thursday, O. B. Han
Geek and James Likenhoker were depu-
tised to 60 for the negro, who WAS cap.
tured NJ Amsterdam. Wallace at first
showed signs of resistance. but soon
saw that the gentlemen after him meant
business and soon becsme dooile. Craw-
ford recognized Wallace, and from the
chain OF circumstances as related he
will be likely to suffer from his high
handed proceedings. -Fineastle Herald.

This attempt to blow up the Rothschild's s

Rodriguez and AbastOr, in the Sail
do Valley, Destroyed.
St. Louis, Mo-, Sept. IA special from
Piedras Negras, Mexico. says advices
have reached there of the almost complete
destruction of the towns of Rodriguez and
Abastor, situated south of there in the
valley of the Salido river.
Both places We're wiped out of existence
by a cloudburst which occurred in the
San Bias mountains, back of the towns.
The water rushed down in the valley, in
a tremendous torrent, sweeping everything
before it. 1t covered the ground to depth
of six feet and the flood was from six to
nine miles wide.
The business houses and residences of
the two towns were built of adobe and
taey melted away before the torrent of
water like so much sand.
The town Of Abastor had a population
OF l,5OO people. The inhabitants saw the
torrent coming down the valley in time
@ make their escape to the adjoining hills.
20 far as known there was no lives lost
70 that place, although not more than 15
houses are left standing.
Every house in the town of Rodriguez,
which has population of 700, was washed
away, but no lives were lost. 1t is feared
t1ere was great destruction of property
ana lives lost farther down the valley,
as the portion was thickly settled. 1t Is
AnoWn that all the buildings on the Haci-
ella OF Jose Ross We're caught in the flood
ana washed away the loss Of his property
mounting to about $4,000.

which was last The southerners did not
feel chagrined. however for their remark

suffice for any defeat they may meet
with.
The match was won by the District Of
Columbia, and the stigma OF defeat which
the Washington National Guard suffered
yesterday in the match for the interstate
trophy was put In the shade to-day by
their splendid victory In the contest for
the Hilton prize. They beat by one point
the best previous score, made by the Mass
achusetts guardsmen ia 1851, scoring 1907
points out Of possible l,2GO. The Twelfth
regiment Of New York was second, Mass
achusetts third, Pennsylvania fourth.
Georgia NTH and New Jersey sixth. New
York had no regular team and the rifle
men from the Empire state felt much
chagrined at the refusal Of the state au-
thoritles to send a team 70 represent New
York in this important match as well
as IN others to be decided.
The New Yorks tied Massachusetts
with total Of l0T points. but won sec
ond position because Of their victory over
the Bay state soldiers on the coo yard

the scores We're added. and took part In
the celebration. Gen Wingale said that
the shooting Of the District Of Columbia
team was. marvellous.
When Massachusetts, made the high
score OF 09s IN 1857. the day was perfect.
while to-day an erratic wind hindered the
marksmen, particularly on the 200 yard
range, which they were compelled 10 IRE
at in a standing position. Gen. Wingale
also said that he thought teh victory Of
the Georgians IN the interstate military
match would be an impetus for the rest
OF the southern states 70 send teams

DISTRESSED MEXICAN oOLONIsTs.
Additional Information Received in
Regard to tho Deserters.

Washington. Sept. 5.-something more
about the distressed negro colonists from
Georgia and Alabama, who deserted the
colony at Tlahualila, Mexico was receiv-
ed at the state department to-day in a
letter from the vice consul Of the United
States at Piedras Negras. He says that
Aug. IL, the local authorities, under in
structions from the governor Of the state,
took charge Of the colonists at Torreon
and transported them across the border
TO Eagle Pass. Tex.
Twenty-four negroes arrived at Piedras
Negras, from Torreon on Aug. II, and on
Aug. q, twenty-three others reached
there. The vice consul adds that so far as
he can learn, all the negroes who left the
colony at Tlahualila have arrived at Ea-
gle Pass, the greater number of whom
are held in quarantine. No cases of small
pox have developed outside the ranks of
the colonists and no further trouble is
anticipated.
