cOwHIDED BY A COURTEsAN.
The Manager of GaIveston's Opera
House Assaulted.

Galveston, Tex, May 5--A sensational
cow-hiding occurred at the union depot
this morning just previous to the depart
ure Of a picnic train for Clear Lake. Hun
dreds of persons were on the platform and
in the cars waiting for the train to pull
out when Ada Hammond, a well known
character of this city, appeared on the
scene and boarded one of the coaches. In
the same car was Davbd A. Weiss, man
ager Of The Grand Opera house here, who
was accompanying some of his relatives
to- the picnic. AS soon as Miss Hammond
saw Weiss she drew a cowhide from be-
Meath the folds of her skirt and began to
lay it on Mr.. Weiss face and shoulders
in a manner that completely dazed him
1t was some moments before several of the
passengers interfered and put a stop to
the furious onslaught. Miss Hammond
was taken in charge by the police, and a
charge made against her at the police
station of assault and battery, but the
charge was afterward. withdrawn. The
cause of the cowhiding is that the parties
had had a quarrel and had separated, and
Weiss had sent a message to her, demand
ing pet dog of which he claimed to be
the owner. Miss Hammond replied in
person with the above result. Mr.. Weiss
was very badly bruised about the face.

A TAX SALE FOLLOWED BY A SHOT.
An Engineer Fatally Wounded for
Buying d Farmers Land.

Chattanooga, Tenn, May 5.-Andy
Hames, a farmer s. years old, shot James
Swats, a locomotive engineer on the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis rail-
road in cold blood at Stevenson, Ala, to-
dayl and was in turn shot down by a posse
of infuriated citizens. Two bullets lodged
in the wounded mans abdomen and
death is certain. Swats was standing in
his shirt sleeves in his own yard, which
adjoins Hames place, when he saw the
latter approach, and deliberately took
aim and shoot without a word of warning.
A posse of citizens gave chase, as the old
man fled when he saw his work well done,
and soon came up with him. One of the
party fired the deadly bullet, inhicting a
probably fatal wound in the murderer's
back Swats had incurred his neighbors'
enmity by bidding on some land of the lat
ters at sheriff's tax sale. On redemP-
ton day the farmer failed to claim back
his property The feeling at Stevenson
is exceedingly bitter toward Hames, and
only the nature of his wounds prevented
summary vengeance being dealt to him.
Both will die. Swats is one of the oldest
and most popular men in the roads em-
DlOV.

ARMOsR's LOSSES ON BEEF.
DIR. Salmon Inclined 10 Take n Saw
castic View of the Claim.

Washington, May 5.-Dr. Salmon, chief
of the bureau Of animal industry, speak
ing about Philip d. Armours statement
of an average constant loss of between
II and IS cents on each head of cattle
slaughtered by his firm during a long pc
riod Of time, said while he had no criti-
cisms to make as to the veracity of the
statement as far as it went. the fact
must be noted that Mr.. Armour separated
the dressed beef department from the
transportation trade, and from various
other departments of his business which
were also closely related. The firm of
Armour & Co had about 5000 refrigerator
cars rolling over the various railroads of
the United States carrying dressed beef
to their customers. Consumers would
probably be much perplexed to decide
how much they paid for transportation
and how much for meat
Possibly If Mr. Armour would state the
losses incurred by his firm in the trans
portation of beef during the same period
of time he covered in stating it's losses
upon beef itself, the question would be

most glaring under-valuation have been
discovered by the special treasury agents.
indicating that the government has lost
thousand of dollars. Some idea of the loss
to the national treasury may be gathered
from the fact that on one invoice alone the
London shippers were compelled TO hand
over So 500 additional duties which their
represen tiVes in this city promptly paid
to the treasury agents, and thus avoided
serious trouble. Other invoices were set
tied in the same way. The appraisements
on the merchandise were ordered 10 be ad-
vanced by the treasury agents, VINO were
determined to have the rightful duties
paid or resorts to the courts not only for
civil proceedings to recover the duties, but
also to punish all having guilty knowl-
edge of the falsity of the invoices.
