One of Havey's Horses Spreads Consterna-
ton Among Observation-Disclosures
Tom Powers Daring Rescue.
As one Of the livery wagons Of
Charles Havey, drawn by one horse,
was near the corner of Water and
Meadow streets at about 4:30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, the horse became
frightened and started to run. The
horse kept on up Meadow street to
Church, and then followed ON out
Church street, at full gallop. At the
junction Of Church and Chapel streets
a lady with little child was passing
over the crossing as the frightened
animal neared the spot. The lady.
however, saw the horse coming just in
time and pulled the child back out of
the way SO that no one was hurt. Tom
Powers, the policeman at that corner,
by motioning and other means kept the
crowds on both sides Of the crossing
back until after the runaway steed
had passed.
Everything passed off smoothly for
the runaway until the Tontine hotel
was reached. There the runaway
struck one Of Pfaffs' delivery wagons,
which was going much slower, and i'm
mediately after the collision the run
away horse with leap tore out the
crossbar of the light wagon to which he
was attached, and breaking entirely
loose from the Wogan dashed away.
Just beyond Pfaff's rig stood the car
riage OF Miss Bradley, and there was
imminent danger of the runaway horse
driving the shafts of his wagon into
the horse attached to Miss Bradley's
carriage "A considerable crowd col
lected at the corner Of Court and State
streets and in trent Of the Tontine
hotel to see what all the disturbance
was about The runaway kept on out
Church street without further mishar
and was finally taken in by the police.

FEMALE DISEASES.
Caused by Catarrh of the Pelvic Organs,
DR.. Hartman Says.

If there is disease which is more prey
alent than all others it is chronic catarrh.
Over half the people have it in some form
or another; and yet probably not tenth
of these people know that their disease is
catarrh.
One person has dyspepsia; another
bronchitis; another Bright's disease: an
otter Bright's disease; another liver com
plaint: another consumption; another fe-
male complaint. These people would be
very much surprised to hear that they are
suffering with chronic catarrh But it is
so, nevertheless. Each of these troubles
and great many more, are simply ca
tarrh-that is, chronic inflammation of
the mucous lining of whichever organ is
affected. Catarrh of the pelvic organs is
very common kind of catarrh which
leads to a condition known as female dis
ease. Nearly every woman who has fe-
male complaint is victim of catarrh of
the pelvic organs. These women should
write to DR.. Hartman, Columbus, o., a
description of their symptoms and he will
give prompt answer with directions for
treatment free.
Any internal remedy that will cure ca
tarrh in one location will cure it in any
other location. This is why Pe-ru-na
has become so justly famous in the cure
of female diseases. 1t cures catarrh
wherever located. It's cures remain.
Pe-ru-na does not palliate; it cures Send

male diseases.

COCHRAN FOR COMMISSIONER.
His Candidacy is Being Well Received
by Stock Raisers.

Fort Worth, Tex, June 22.-(Special.)
The announcement of the name of the
Hon. John II. Cochran, formerly of Dal-
las, but now of Nolan county, for rail
road commissioner has resulted in decid-
ed activity on the part of his friends in
this section in his behalf. His candidacy
seems to be especially well considered
by the stock raisers. Among the well
known parties today openly declaring a
preference for the gentleman from Nolan
is John SchaurbOur, Charles Copinger,
d. G. OXshear, Willis Connell, ID. NJ.
Dewitt. F. NJ. Weaver, r. B. Harold,
Winfield Scott, William Hunter. George
Beggs, w. l.. Gatlin and Capt. s. =.
Burnett. These gentlemen say that it is
but an act of simple justice to allow the
great stock raising industry a representa-
tion on the commission, and further that
the gentleman named is their preference.
1t looks tonight as if determined fight
had been inaugurated to land Mr.. Coch-
ran on the commission.
Judge George w. Riddle of Hood coun-
ty, also candidate for railroad commits
siOner. was here today en- route for Aus
tin. Speaking with The Statesman man
he said:

other of the larger counties in the state.
and already'l have as many instructed
votes as has any of my competitors. /
am in the race to stay"
Col. w. l.. McGaughey was here this
morning on his way to Austin.
The friends of Col. McGaughey say
that Hood county is going to put him to
the front as a candidate for land COM
missioner at the coming state nominat-
ing convention, to be held here in Au-
gust. A large delegation of both sound
money Democrats and free silverites left
for the Austin convention tonight.
All were of the opinion that rather
tame time would result at Austin. The
sound money men will favor the sending
of a full delegation to the Chicago con-
vention and the designating of full list
of presidential electors, both at large and
by districts.

ATROCIOUS MURDER.
Two Ladies Horribly Hacked With a
Hatchet in Louisiana.

Plaquemine, La, June 20.-An afro
cious murder was committed last night
in the town of Bayou Goula. Between
II and ~ o'clock neighbors heard groans
in the house of Widow Teleschore Landry
situated in the center of the town. They
went to investigate the cause and found
Mrs. Landry stabbed through the throat
dead, and Miss Madeline Herbert, her
adopted daughter. with two terrible
gashes across her face. 1t is believed
her wounds will prove fatal.
During the day Miss Herbert regained
consciousness for short while, but could
tell nothing of what had happened as she
was asleep when struck. There were evil
dently two persons in this work.
Mrs. Landry was stabbed with knife
through the neck and hacked with a
hatchet across the face and on the throat,
while the gashes on Miss Herberts face
were made with the hatchet. The knife
and hatchet were left behind and may
serve as clue. The ladies are well
known and highly respected by the entire
community. All the stores in town are
closed today and every effort is being
made to capture the murderers. Several
arrests have been made.

ANOTHER OUTRAGE AT BRYAN.

Bryan, Tex, June 22.-(Special.)-
Some time early yesterday morning
terrible outrage ives perpetrated here. A
col0red girl, : years old. who has been
bedridden and unable to speak from her
birth, was taken from her bed and hor-
ribly mistreated. The child has been
living on a farm, nine miles from town.
She was found yesterday in gulley in
the Braz0s river in an unconscious con-
dition. Wounds on her head indicated
that she had probably been struck with
a stone or heavy stick. Her hands were
tied and cord was found around her
neck as if her assailant intended to stran-
gle or hang her. When the crime was re-
ported Constable Baker visited the scene
and upon his return stated that the child
was not dead. He has made no arrest,
but the officers are working on the case.

He is Silver Man, But Doesn't Like
Dudley's Tactics.
Ennis, Tex, June 22.-(Special.) Hon.
w. l.. McGaughey of Hood passed
through today on his way to Austin as
the sole representative of his county in
the state convention. In speaking to a
reporter he said that when he went back
home he found the county in disor-
ganized condition; he called mass meet
ing and carried the county for silver. He
favors Duncan as delegate at large,
but will be willing to send such men as
Hogg, Reagan, Chiffon and Bailey. The
Hood representative says he is as strong
silver man as anybody, but he hopes
the state may never be called ON again
to witness such tactics as were prac-
ticed by Chairman Dudley and his com
mittee.

SEVEN KILLED.
A Frightful Explosion Occurs at Dou-
cette, Tex.

Woodville, Tex, June 22.-(Special.)-
AT Doucette, three miles north of Wood
vile, at { o'clock this morning, the tram
engine boiler of the Nebraska Lumber
company exploded, killing seven men out
right and seriously if not fatally injuring
three others. 1t seems that the engineer
was just ready to start for the logging
camp when the explosion took place,
some six or eight men being in the cab
at the time. Six of these seven victims
had their heads entirely torn from their
bodies and otherwise mutilated beyond
recognition. The list of killed and
wounded is as follows:
A. l.. Doucette, president of Nebraska
Lumber company.
Grant Hammerly. engineer.
Charlie, Walworth, section foreman on
tram road.
Charlie Smith, section hand.
Charlie Steward, section hand.
Wylie Sargent, mill hand.
A man known about the mill as
"frenchie," but whose right name could
not be ascertained.
The wounded are as follows:
Dan A. Harman, fireman, arms terri
bly lacerated and painfully scalded about
the face and neck.
ID. o. Sullivan, section hand. badly
scalded about the face and neck.
Beaumont, Tex, June 22.-(Special.)-
The reports of just how the terrible ac-
cident at Doucette happened are some
what conflicting. One report says that
the engine had just left Doucette and
had jumped the track. Then men
crowded around to get the engine back
on the track when the explosion occurred.
Another report says that the engine had
not left but the men were in the cal
when the accident came. The engin,
was what is known as shay with thu
machinery all on one side and the drivers
propelled by cog wheels.
just what caused the explosion will
probably never be known. An eye wit
noise and squatted between the ties and
looked up. The whole sky seemed filed
with flying debris, iron few through the
sky like shot and carried everything in
its path. The men that met death never
knew what killed them. A sharp report,
rain-like patter of iron and it was ali
over. Six of the dead were buried today
near the scene of their death and the re-
mains of Mr.. Doucette were brought
down over the Sabine and East Texas
and forwarded to Orange tonight.
