and he could hardly have breathed a
moment afterlhs was shot.
The body was recognized by a colored
boy as young Green. whose father is
employed as a messenger in one of the
Executive Departments, and a very re-
spectacle man.
Miss Flagler AYERS that she did not
attn at the intruder, and had no lnten-
ton other than that Of frightening him
away.
The inquest was begun late this after
noon at the Morgue, and a number of
witnesses examined. Miss Flagler's tes-
timony was the only discriminating evil
dence offered. If she had denied the
shooting, no one could have proved
otherwise.
The verdict was shortly rendered. But
one ballot was taken, and that was
unanimous in the expression that the
shots were fired without murderous in
tent. and that Miss Flagler could not be
held responsible for the unfortunate
death of the little colored boy.

Newspaper Men.
ST. JOSEPH (Mo.), Aug. ". T. Will
Jams. editor of the Stanberry Herald, and
I. a. Weimer, editor of the Stanberry
Sentinel, have been indulging in a news
paper quarrel. Williams stated in his
paper yesterday that he had accumulated
all his property himself, and while his
taxes were not as much as those Of the
editor of the Sentinel, none Of his wealth
had come in the way of a hymeneal con-
tract at the altar. Mrs. Weimer con-
slGered that the paragraph retlected on
her. She is the daughter Of j. w. Hamp-
ton. Denver millionaire, who lived for
many years at Mount Pleasant, Iowa.
The day of her marriage her father pre-
sented the editor with check of $4,000,
and it was TO this present that reference
was made by Williams. In the afternoon
Mrs. Neimer, accompanied by her hus-
band, went to the Herald office and horse
whipped Williams, while Weimer struck
his rival over the head with a revolver.

W. ]. sHANKS ON TEXAS.

The above gentleman spent quite
a while in our city, in the interest
of the Chicago Record, and has
written an admirable article on our
city and the surrounding country,
which will appear in his paper later
on. He made many friends here by
his quiet and gentlemanly bearing.
The Dallas News man found him in
Dallas on Monday, and he and the
reporter had quite confab, which
we give below, as it is a just COM
pliment to our sister state, Texas:
"The eyes of the world" said Mr..
Shanks, "are upon Texas, Imni-
grafton which has heretofore fol
lowed closely eastern and western
parallels is changing and has begun
to drift from north to south. There
is steadily increasing movement
from northern and northwestern
states into the great southwest.
The resources of your mighty state
are beginning to be understood,
Northerners are beginning to real
ize that you are a cosmopolitan peo-
pie Capital and enterprise knows
no sectional lines, and the idle capi-
tai of northern and eastern money
centers is beginning to move in this
direction.
"Texas is lusty young giant and
he would be a rash prophet who
would predict the development of
your state in the next teu years.
The main prejudice in the north is
against some of your laws. Capt
talists watch the course Of state
legislatures closely. Lett be known
that you welcome capital and that
your legislators will not view it as
an enemy to progress, and it will
flow into your state with increasing
volume, Texas is on the eve of a
tremendous accretion in population
and wealth. Now is the time to
build wisely for the future, by send
ing your broadest guaged represen-
tatives to speak and act for you in
the state legislature,
Gas a practical newspaper man,
/ am glad to bear testimony to the
and power of the News
throughout the southwest. Every
where in Texas it seems to be read
and quoted as IN oracle, Thisis an
age of great newspapers, and it is a
pleasure to find the metropolis of
Texas fully abreast of the times, or
rather in advance Of them, The
that give all the news
without bias are the real leaders of
the people, and Texas is fortunate
in having a journal so intelligently
and ably managed as the News
There is no better advertisement Of
the state in existence" "
Mr., Shanks left for Chicago last
evening, but expects to return
shortly to write another series of
articles on the southwest,

Any Amount of Wind Now Being Ex-
pended Down at Hot Springs.
Hot SPRINGS, Oct. 23.-The great fight
has now reached the point where 1t is
principally battle of tongues-in fact it
has never got farther than that. Corbett
has said that he washes his hands of Fitz-
simmons, and Fitzsimmons, at Corpus
Christie, Tex, Is out with statement
that he will fight Jim for $l0,O 900 and give
the gate receipts to New York charity.
Corbett says Fitz Is cur and Fitz says
Corbett is a windbeg. Julian has accepted
an offer from the Hot Springs Athletic
club for fight on Oct. 81.
He went TO see Corbett about the mat
ter, but could it appears, get no satisfac-
ton. Dozen of propositions are making,
but none seems to suit the two men who
were SO anxious to try conclusions In the
ring. Meanwhile the supreme court has
under advisement the question whether
there is any law in Arkansas to prohibit a
prize fight, the arguments having been
finished, and Governor Clarke prac tically
says he will prevent the fight, law or no
law, and Is reported to have kilograms
ready calling out the militia at the first
sign of a fight.
