BEEVILLE BUZZINGS.
BEEVILLE, Tex, March

BEEVILLE, Tex, March %.
Ex-Governor r. B. Hubbard de.
livered his famous lecture, ''The
South, Past, Present and to Come"
at the opera house Friday night. A
large audience, composed of the in
tellect of the town, greeted his
opening and cheered the distin-
guished speaker frequently during
the two hours lecture. He uttered
many things which are not yet
historical, but which he says will
be before many years roll around.
He steered clear of politics and
said nothing calculated to create
friction on any line, even in the
most pent-up breast. He left on
the early morning train for Hous-
ton, and stated that he was billed
for a series of lectures in the north,
one of the subjects to be the same
as he discoursed ON here that even
ing. The governors friends here
say that he retains his old fire and
energy to a remarkable degree,
and is as ready with an anecdote
and flow of wit as in olden times,
when he beat the hastings to
sound political alarm.
ID. j. Carothers, secretary of the
executive committee, has secured
excursion rates on the railroads,
and also a special hotel rate for
the populist congressional conven-
ton, which meets at Beeville
Wednesday, March 25th.

THE Private Secretary"

A good Sunday night audience
greeted the temperance OF "The
Private Secretary" at the Grand
Opera house last night, in a one
night stand, and a good deal of
amusement was afforded by the
many absurd, comical situations.
The title role was not as we'll liked
as presented by Mr.. Fleming Nor
ton as when it was in for
mer hands. In great meas
ure this was due to Mr.. Nor
toms extreme nervousness. He
had been keyed up to such a high
pitch at badger fight at which he
had officiated during the afternoon
that his nerves were completely
shattered by the sight Of the wild
animal and 1t was almost in a
state Of collapse that he went on
the stage at his cue. He is fin
ished actor and comes OF a family
Of actors, his father having been
one OF the greatest quick change
and speciality men of his time.
The old time San Antonio favor
lite and former citizen Of this city,
Mr.. Edwin Travers, was as usual
quietly funny and won great praise.
The remainder OF the cast were
capable and responded to the easy
demands Of the author creditably.

THE COURSING MEET.
BRUTAL TREATMENT OF A DEER
CAUSES A
Riot and Assault on a Cowboy at the
Jockey Club Yesterday Small Crowd
in Attendance.

The first annual meeting OF the
Southwest Texas Coursing associa-
ton was held at the Jockey club
yesterday afternoon. Owing to
counter attractions the crowd in
attendance was not as large as the
sport justified. The sport is a
novel one in this section, which
also partly accounts for the small
crowd.
The following dogs were entered
for the first free-for-all age stake:
Bryan, owned by l.. Frankel, OF
San Antonio; Mornington, by Nc
Donald, OF Houston; Gideon and
Dondo, by Smith OF Dallas; Merri-
man, by Mcdonald, OF Houston.
Tom Mills slipped the hounds,
and Albert Mcdonald, of San An
tonic, was judge.
The rabbits were slow, but, never
theless, the chases were exciting.
In the first course, Merriman
won from Bryan second. Morning
ton won from Dondo; final, Nor
nington won from Merriman. The
prize was silver wine coole.
The coon VS.. McDonald's wolf
hound was an embarrassing fight.
The coon's immortal soul took its
flight in one-half minute.
In the scent race, Smiths Guy
don won from Cooper's Henrietta.
The deer chase was a failure.
The deer was loosed with ropes on
his antlers. The rope caught in
the split Of the animals hoof and
threw him underneath the first
plank of the fence, where he was
completely at the mercy of the
wolf hounds. Earnest Crangler,
one Of the field stewards, rode up
and eXtricated the animal. In or
der to give fresh start,h held the
deer by the rope while his assist
ants endeavored to call the hounds
off. The animal was considerably
chewed up before this could be
done. Some Of the spectators be-
came indignant at what they
thought to be cruelty, and when
CraDgler rode off the field, a mob |
crowded round and Kissed him.
In his efforts to get away, he acct
dentally spurred small boy. "Kill
him !" howled the mob, and in an |
instant stones and clubs were fly
ing at the unfortunate COW boy. |
He put spurs to his horse, followed |
by mob OF boys. Crangler and
his horse were struck severely sew
eral times before he could get out
of reach. The crowd followed him
to the stables, and it required the
whole force OF stable men with |
whips, to disperse the boys.
The horses ankle was famed, but |
Crangler is not badly injured.
The afternoons sport ended with |
a wire-walking exhibition by Prof.
DeGaye.
M'DoNALD's STATEMENT.
The deer was led out into the
open by a cowboy on horseback
lasso on the antlers and the other
end attached to the horn OF
the saddle. Mcdonald stood
ready to cut the rope close to |
the deer's antlers but the cowboy |
objected and said il he should do |
that he would leave his saddle and
let the horse and deer fight it out. |
Then the cowboy threw off the
rope from his saddle and let the
deer go in this way. When the |
wolfhound caught the hind leg Of |
the deer, the cowboy caught the rope
and circied around to keep the |
deer from injuring his horse. The |
affair was badly managed.

Bitten By a Rather.

Herman Hornung, a l7.year.old
boy in the employ Of VIM. Hoefling,
shot a rattlesnake on Mr.. Hoe

WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.-Owing to the
energetic representations Of United
States Minister Terrell. Miss Barton
and her party will be permitted by the
Turkish governments ~ distribute relief
to the distressed Armenians, although
the Red Cross itself will not figure in
the work.
This news came to the State Depart
ment today in cablegram from the
minister to Secretary Olney. in which
he says that while the porto refuses such
permission to the Red Cross, or to the
members Of the Red Cross "a such, and
thereby declines to officially recognize
that society. 1t will permit any person
whom the minister names and approves
to distribute relief in the interior of
Turkey, provided the Turkish authori-
ties are keps informed of what they are
doing.
There can be no question that Miss
Barton and her party will be 40 desig-
mated by Minister Terrell, but it is ap-
pretended that they will encounter al
most insurrnountable obstacles in reach
