Galveston, Texas, January A
prominent railroad man here, who will
not allow the use of his name, states
that &c. II. K. Green, president of the
Texas Midland railway, will be in con
troll of the Houston and Texas Central
railway in the next thirty days The
Houston and Texas Central railway is
now owned and controlled by the Hunt
ington syndicate and is one of the most
important feeders in Texas of the
Southern Pacific.
President Green spent several days
in this city, closely looking into the
Terminal facilities here and also ex.
aiming the property of the Galveston
La Porte and Houston railway, which
connects with the Houston and Texas
Central at Houston.
1t is believed here from the remarks
made by President Green that should
he succeed in getting control of the
Houston and Texas Central, that he
will consolidate that line and the Gal
weston, La Porte and Houston with
the Texas Midland, and by forming a
connection with the st. Louis and San
Francisco at Paris, Texas, Ito which
point he is rapidly extending the Texas
Midland) he would have a through
outlet for traffic between st. Louis
and Galveston.
President Green is now en- route to
New Orleans, where it is believed he
goes for the purpose of concentrating
the deal for control of the Houston
and Texas Central. Important develop
ments in the railway situation are an.
ticipated in the next thirty days.

St Louis, Mo-. Jan. 2.-The inquest
on the body of Joseph McCulagh, late
editor of the Globe-Democrat, whose
remains were found under his bed
room window Thursday, began yester-
day 1t developed the startling fact
through the testimony of DR.. Hughes
Mr.. McCullagh's physician, that the de-
ceased made what was at the time be-
lieyed to be an attempt at suicide on
Dec 23 last. On that day Dr. Hughes
testified that he called on Mr.. McCul-
lagh and left with him four-onuce
bottle containing two ounces which
would have the effect of paralyzing the
action of the heart. The same night
Mr.. McCullagh took one ounce of the
medicine, enough to have death, but
which, owing to the weak condition OF
his stomach, was Immediately rejected,
When DR.. Hughes called the next
asked Mr.. McCullagh if HE had taken
that amount, an evaaive answer being
given. DR.. Hughes testified that he
was satisfied that Mr.. McCullagh had
not taken the medicine by mistake,
The physician ct once connected the
startling circumstances with q CONVEX
cation had with Mr. McCullagh shortly
before in which the latter spoke OF
Abraham Lincoln, saying that he died
at a good time, and thai when any
man outlived his usefulness It was time
for him to go.
DR.. Hughes tb.n testified rs to Mr..
McCullagh's strange and evasive man
ner on the day preceding his death and
concluded his testimony with the posi-
tive statement that his impression was
that the case was one of suicide.
Liveryman Louis c. Bohle, the clos
| est personal friend of the deceased,
was also to have testified, but as he
failed to appear the examination was
continued until this morning.
Yesterday Mrs. Mckee, daughter OF
the original proprietor of the Globe
Democrat, accompanied by friend,
went cut to Bellfontaine cemetery and

12-year-old girl whose outraged body
was found Wednesday in a meadow

Once there was little girl, as the say
ing goes, and she and her brother loved
to pose in tableaux of their own con-
ceiving. At the time when the Greek
play of "Antigone" was given in the
city, they heard much talk about it
from their elders, and were all aflre to
produce something brilliant themselves,
on their own little stage.
Lets play Antigone" suggested
Bertha, at last, when the old folks had
been again talking 1t over.
"All right" responded Tom. I'll be
Antigone,"
mo, you can't. She was lady. I'll
be Antigone."
"All right. You may. I'll be George
washington. and come in and tell her
about my Ratchet"
So the rehearsals were begun, and
things went swimmingly, One day,
however, Bertha got little fractions,
and longed for change.
II guess 1 don't like Antigone very
well" she said IT don't like her name"
IAN right" said obliging Tom, lets
alter It,"
why, what can we call her?"

change, and the play went on.-Youth'a

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. "A special
from Albany, Ca, says:
Sankey Cunningham, colored, was
hanged in an Enclosure inside the gar
den adjoining the county jail yesterday
for criminal assault upon Miss Katie
Camp. Cunningham was "trusty" in
the county chain gang and the young
lady's home was near the stockade.
The crime was a most aggravated
one and the brute left his victim for
dead. She afterwards recovered con-
seriousness and crawled to neigh
boris house and gave the alarm. The
prompt trial of the negro by Judge
Spence at a special session of Dough-

of great prudence on the part of the
officers kept down a lynohing. Tho
crime was committed on Dec, 3. Much
indignation was aroused and it was
found necessary to remove the prisoner
to Macon fer safe keeping Yesterday
on the scaffold Cunningham made a
statement. He acknowledges his guilt
and said he had made peace with God.
He also warned both white and black
to seek religion and take warning by
his fate. A great crowd came to the
city to witness the hanging, and box
cars and roofs OF houses and every Gle
waited point available for blocks around
were covered with spectators. There

Ought landlord to suffer for ten
ants misfortune? Whatever the land
lord may choose to do for personal or
charitable reasons, what are his legal
rights? The result of an action in the
New York courts has an important
bearing on these inquiries. Owing to
the dangerous illness OF member Of
his family, the lessee of certain prop
erty remained on it. and in possession
of it, for fortnight after the expira-
ton of his yearly lease. Suit was ac-
cordingly brought to recover rent for
the new year upon which he had en-
tered. A verdict was directed for the
plaintiff. On exception to this verdict
there was motion for new trial.
This motion was overruled. The court
held that "a qualification based on
sickness in the lessee's family cannot
safely be imported into the absolute
rule Of law that holding over by a
yearly tenant creates new lease for
another year" for the reason that the
landlord would thereby be caused to
suffer for the III fortune OF the lessee.
