CORPUS CHRISTI EXCURSION.
1t Was Grand Success in Every Particu-
lar and Everybody Pleased,

lar and Everybody Pleased.
Probably the largest excursion
train that was ever pulled out OF
San Antonio, was that which left
the Arkansas Pass depot yesterday
morning loaded with excursionists
for the "Bluff City," The train was
composed of sixteen passenger
coaches, and each was taxed to its
utmost capacity. 1t pulled out of
the yards at z 80 o'clock and after
a pleasant ride of six hours landed
its passengers at their destination.
Beside the San Antonio train,
another one consisting of ten
coaches from Hsllettsville, Yoa-
KUN and vicinity, also made Cor
pus Christi its destination, with it's
load OF human freight.
y The trains were met at the depot
by almost the entire population Of
Corpus Christi, who did not forget
to bring brass baud along to es-
cort the excursionists from the de-
pot. The band also played concert
at the wharf during the afternoon.
The time of the excursionists
was spent in boating, surfbsthing
and sightseeing and everyone ex-
pressed themselves as being we'll
pleased with the pleasure afforded
them.
The only objection to the whole
affair was the quality Of food to be
secured and the price paid there
for, but this could scarcely be ex-
pected to be any better as Corpus
Christi has not enough hotels or
restaurants to supply with edibles
the large concourse of peoplesvisit.
ing that place yesterday and her
citizens certainly deserve praise
for the courteous treatment extend
ed the exursionists.
Mr.. G. A. Heath, one of the lead.
ing merchants OF that place, de-
serves the special thanks of the ex-
cursionists for supplying them
with ice water during their stay,
which was appreciated and favor
ably commented on by all.
Another thing which many are
thankful for was that the saloons
were opened in the afternoon after
which San Antoniois favorite bev-
erage flowed freely.
The beautiful steam yacht
cargo" was kept busy hauling ex-
cursionists all the afternoon.
Although the city of bluffs Is
now dry and dusty she afforded
plenty of amusement for her visi.
tors. Truly her citizens are hos
pitable people.
While on the return trip the ex.
cursion train picked up a Mexican
at Karnes City who, while in an
intoxicated state had been run
over by the incoming passenger
train from Houston, early in the
evening and had his hand cut of,
between that place and Kennedy.
He was brought here for medical
treatment.
The train was in charge Of the
popular conductor Fred. M. Loring
who handled the large crowd of
people well.
The train on its return, left Cor
pus at $50 and made a through
run with the exceptions of water
ing stations to San Antonio, ar
irving here at 2:30 this morning.

BAYARD's SPEECHES.
The House Higgins the Debate on the
Resolutions Of Censure.

Washington, March 1S.-The announce
ment that the resolutions reported from
the committee on foreign affairs censur-
ing Ambassador Bayard would be the
special order for tO-day's session OF the
House Of Representatives. failed TO at
tract TO the hall any unusual attendance
The hour fixed for the consideration Of
the resolutions was 100 o'clock. and the
miscellaneous business of the morning
was not sufficient in volume to occupy
all Of the time after assembling until
then, so that a recess of fifteen min
utes preceding the beginning of the de-
bate
When Mr. Hit called up the Bayard
resolution about half Of the members Of
the House were in their seats, while the
public galleries were only comfortably
filled. In the diplomatic gallery were Bar
on Won KettIer, secretary of the Ger
man embassy; Senior Dominguez, charge
d'affaires Of the Argentine Republic, and
Mrs. Domnguez; Nine Romero. wife Of
the Mexican minister; Mrs. J. W. Foster
and Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Cruger Julien
Gordon). The members gallery contain
ed the wives Of and members Of the
families Of numerous representatives.
Mr.. Hit was not in condition physic
ally, and after a few minutes his voice
gave out, and he was compelled to close.
In conclusion he expressed the nope that
the resolutions would be adopted, saying
that such speeches as those made by
Mr.. Bayard destroyed the respect which
an ambassador ought to command, d.
mnished his usefulness, and was wrong
to the people he represented.
Mr.. McCreary and Mr.. Dinsmore, in
speeches Of more than an hours length
each, defended Mr.. Bayard and opposed
the passage of the resolutions.
Mr.. Draper, member of the committee
on foreign affairs deplored the severity
of the language in the resolutions of
censure, and in accordance with his views
of the duty of the House. gave notice
that he would ask separate votes upon
the two resolutions.
Mr.. Cousins speech advocating the adop-
tion of the committees report was the
feature of the occasion. 1t was by turns
sarcastic and eloquent, filled with critI-
cisms of Mr.. Bayard and glowing with
pictures of the greatness and glory of the
country and of the individual under the
system of protection which the ambassa-
dor had denounced. He spoke for nearly
an hour, commanding throughout the at
tention of all his hearers to a marked
degree, and at the close was given an
ovation that lasted several minutes.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Dinsmore's
address at 5:25 o'clock the House ad-
journed until tomorrow.

VARIABLE SURE TO HANG.
The Jury COnvicts Him of the MUIR
der of Mrs. Pollard

Petersburg, Va, March 18.-The famous
case of the commonwealth against Solo
mon Marable, the negro who so brutally
murdered Mrs. Lucy Jane Pollard on June
IA, 1895, in the county of Lunenburg, and
which has occupied the county court of
Prince Edward since Monday last, was
concluded late this evening. The jury
found Marable guilty of murder in the
first degree, but sentence has not been
passed upon him.
Marable, at a previous trial held in Lun-
enburg county, was found guilty of MUIR
der in the first degree and sentenced to be
hung. A stay of execution of the sentence
was obtained and the case was taken to
the supreme court of appeals of Virginia,
which granted him new trial. A change
of venue was obtained from the county
court of Lunenburg to the county court
of Prince Edward, at Farmville. During
Marables first trial, the feeling in Lunen-
burg was so bitter against him that Gov.
Mckinney sent troops to protect the pris-
oner from mob violence, should il be at
tempted. This is one of the most noted
criminal cases ever known IN Virginia.
Now that Marable has been convicted,
the two negro women, Mary Abernethy
and Pokey Barns, charged with being ac-
cessories to the murder of Mrs. Pollard,
will be tried. These two women like Mar
able have also been convicted of muir
der in the first degree and sentenced to be
hanged, but, as. in the case of Marable,
they, too, were granted a new trial by the
supreme court of the state.

ATKINSON TO RUN AGAIN.
The Governor Makes OmciaI An
nOuncement of His Candidacy.

nOuncement of His Candidacy.
Atlanta, Ga, March 1s.-Gov. Atkinson
to-day officially announced his intention
of being a candidate for governor for an
other term. The business proposition that
was made to him several weeks ago and
which he at one time thought very serious
ly of accepting has been declined for the
sake of the party. Strong pressure has
been brought to bear upon him by lead
ing politicians all over the state who
have urged that his retirement from the
blow to the party just at this time. on
this account he sacrificed his personal in
terests. The governor has been confined
to the executive mansion since Sunday,
and the announcement was given out from
there this afternoon.
He says: II have decided to decline the
business offer made me If my party hon
ors me with the nomination to become a
candidate for governor. From the stand
point of those who believe that making
money is mans highest duty / know
am making a great mistake. but / cannot
accept the view they take of it, 1t is my
desire to be of service to my fellowman,
to contribute to her happiness and great
ness. If / can pursue this ambition with
even a small degree of success it will be
to me a great reward and higher evil
dence of a successful career than accu-
INFLATED wealth.
Thoroughly appreciating the political
conditions which surround us my sense of
duty will not permit me to disregard the
wishes of the numerous members of the
party who urge me to enter the race for
governor when my only reason for not
doing so would be a purely selfish one.

New York, March 1S.-"The New Indus
trial South" was the subject of a lecture
delivered by Carroll D. Wright, United
States commissioner of labor before the
School of Social Economics tonight. He
said the south was forty times as rich
in mineral wealth as England. The coal
districts of the South Appalachian re-
gion have been wonderfully developed of
late. The output of pig iron is immense.
The prospects for steel are excellent. Ten
thousand miles of new railroads have
been constructed in the past ten years.
The colored population have not adapted
themselves generally to the use of ma
chinery. In the past ten years $4,000 900
has been expended for education. He
believed the Industrial schools would be
of great service in developing the indus
trial south.
