Beaumont Lumber Market.

BEAUMONT, Texas, Jan. 49,
Especial THE past week has de-
veloped no new features in the
lumber trade; the demand for
yard stock continues very good,
but comes almost entirely from
Texas points. There has been a
decided lull in the demand for
shingles. Prices are unchanged.
The attendance on the meeting
of the Texas and Louisiana Lum-
Der Manufacturers association in
this city next Tuesday promises to
be very large. The meeting will
be presided over by President
A. l.. Clark.

Dentist In a Bad FIX.

NASHVILLE, Jan. 13-Dr. Eugene
Logan, a. dentist of McMinnville,
was arrested and placed in Jail at
this place, charged with attempted
criminal assault on a little girl IL
years old, belonging to one of the
best families in the town. The
attempt was made at the dentists
office about 2 o'clock Saturday
afternoon Intense excitement pre-
walls. The father and brothers Of
the girl we're with difficulty re.
strained from killing Logan, and
mob violence appeared certain for
a while. Court is now in session
and the promise Of speedy trial
and the refusal OF Judge Small
man to have Logan removed from
the Jail, have tended to stop the
effort to summarily punish him.

The Bottom Dropped Out.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Jan. 13.-Prof.
E. II. Coffey, Of this city, has re-
ceived letter from Lake Chapala,
state Of Jalisco, Mexico, saying
that a few days ago the residents
of one OF the small settlements
near the western end of Lake Cha
psla were terrified to see gigantic
whirlpool raging in the lake. The
water rose in great serpentine
movements and from all directions
rushed toward a common center
where. a vast cavity seemed to ex-
list while at the same time heavy
rumbliDg was heard, apparently
into the bowels ofsthe earth. The
whirlpool was caused by the sud-
den sinking of a large portion of
the lakes bottom. The disturb
ance continued for 90 minutes and
before it subsidized it is said that
several pleasure boats were drawn
into the whirlpool and disappeared
with their occupants. 1t is esti-
mated that a score OF lives were

CATTLE SHIPPERS MEET.
They Roast the Railways and
Effect a Combine.

FORT WORTH, Tex. Jan. 13.-At
Pottsboro, on the Katy, a small
town near Denison, secret meet
ing Of some of the largest cattle
shippers of Texas was held at
which an agreement was entered
into for the formation of an associ-
alton to protect all shippers Of
Texas cattle from exorbitant rates.
1t is really a rebellion against the
present cattle rates and rigid rules
against the cattlemen adopted by
the railways with regard to passes.
The resolutions adopted were:
"That we, the members OF this
association, agree to contract with
any common carrier to deliver our
cattle, hogs or any other live stock
