Some Facts About the Austin
Postoffice That Will Inter

There were three interesting charac-
ters in the city Jail yesterday-J. c..
Berry aged 10; S. NJ. Cochran, aged II,
and Nellie Jones. aged about 20, all from
San Antonio. The two boys are sons of
well known and popular conductors on the
international, while the girl is hayward
daughter of educated and respected par
ents living in Tyler.
All three are under arrest on telegram
from San Antonio charging young Berry
with theft of
DIAMONDS
from his uncle, DR.. Berry, a prominent
physician of San Antonio.
Cochran and Nellie Jones are supposed
to be accomplices in the theft, but it is
doubtful, especially as far as Nellie is
concerned.
Young Berry was arrested at the Union
depot by Officer Scott Wilson and during
the early hours of yesterday morning
Cochran was pulled on the Avenue by
Officer Plumb. After his arrest Scott
Wilson and Plumb went to George Fra
TIERS, where they found Nellie Jones.
THE JEWELS RECOVERED.
Young Berry at the police station con-
fessed to taking the diamonds, a pistol
and SIS in money from his uncle's resi-
dence, but stated that neither Nellie Jones
nor Cochran were implicated in any way.
They knew nothing whatever about
the robbery. When searched pair of
diamond earrings valued at 5000 were
found on him. He also had the pistol
and Nellie Jones had II diamond pin
valued at $50. which she asserted was
given her by Berry, and he confirms her
statement.
To a Statesman reporter yesterday
morning she stated that she lived in San
Antonio and knew both Berry and Coch-
ran. Neither drank, nor do they, so far
as she knows, gamble, but she said
"they wasted their time and money in dis
orderly houses" Noticing her correct Ian
guage the reporter asked her how she
got her education.
"Oh, my parents are educated and re-
spectacle people. and they educated me.
l was born in Cleveland, Ohio, but my
parents now live in Tyler, Tex. Nellie
Jones is not my proper name"
She then said she would like to go back
home, but had been doing so bad she
could not bear to face her mother. She
closed her remarks with deep sigh and
the significant words: "This world, an
other, and then the fireworks"
All three will be conveyed back to San
Antonio today.

COTTON BLOCKADE RAISED.
For the Next Two Days Receipts at New
York and New Orleans Will be Heavy.

Houston, Jan. 1O.-(Special.) For the
next few days cotton receipts at New
Orleans and New York will be rather
heavy. For some time past there has
been n freight blockade, which has just
been raised. Wednesday night the Hous-
ton and Texas Central brought in %
cars with 1000 bales of cotton. For the
"a hours ending tonight the Central has
hauled in 10 cars of cotton, most of
which was consigned to New York and
goes via the Southern Pacific to New
Orleans. The cotton is about all picked
and has passed out of planters hands.
This movement is of cotton which has
been accommodating at railroad stations
awaiting transportation. When this rush
is over the roads predict big slump in
the movement of cotton to seaboard, as
plantations are all stripped and very few
interior merchants are inclined to hold,
fearing lower market. Houstons re-
ceipts today are 1881, of which the
Central alone brought in 1888

If people would pay more attention to

to call for their doctors services to subdue
attacks of dangerous diseases.
That, of all known agents to accomplish
this purpose, DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
are unequalled, is proven by the fact that
once used, they are always in favor. Their
secondary effect is to keep the bowels open

the case with other pills. Hence, their great
popularity with sufferers from habitual con.
stipation, piles and indigestion.

A DESPERATE PRISONER.
He Assaults the Sheriff of Harris County
With Piece of Iron

Houston, Jan. 12.-(Special. )-Walter
Davis is in Jail under seven indictments
for forgery About month ago he and
six prisoners escaped, but Davis was re-
captured with two others. On the way
back he attempted to get Sheriff Erich
sons pistol to kill the officer with, and
when placed in Jail was yoked by the neck
to another desperate character. He bet
the beer with the jailer that he would
be free in the morning, and sure enough
he was. Last night the jailers heard
saving in the cells and put guard to
prevent an escape, resolving to make
search this morning. This morning
Jailer Anderson and Sheriff Erickson
in one cell found number of files, saws
and clubs. Davis refused to come out
of his cell and Sheriff Erickson apprehend-
ing no trouble, entcred unarmed. AS
he did so Davis felled him with a blow
from a piece of iron, cutting a big cash
in his face. Ralying to his feet the plucky
sheriff fought fiercely and soon subdued
Davis by giving him terrific thrashing.

THE MEXICAN ROBBERY.
Officer Grizzard Scoops in Another of the
Alleged Robbers.

Yesterday Officer Grizzard arrested Ed
Norwood, a young negro suspected of hav-
ing been engaged in the robbery of a Mex
lean in Frank Dublin's saloon Wednesday
night. Norwood is tough coon, and
some of his antics Wednesday night after
the robbery led him to be suspected and
he is now in Jail, where he vehemently
proclaims he is innocent. None of the
money was found ON him, and it looks
as if not dollar of the $50 alleged to have
been taken will be recovered. The Mexi-
can from whom it was taken is not quite
as rich as he was in money, but he has
