LANDED IN
THE LAKE,
A Parachute Jumpers
Peril.

Miss Mile Davy, the parachute
Jumper, met with thrilling ex-
perience Sunday at Austin and one
that almost cost her her life. She
was billed to go up in a balloon at
the dam and make a parachute
jump at the height of a thousand
feet. A very large crowd was on
hand and at the appointed time the
balloon was loosened from its
moorings and rose rapidly.
A small dog, securely strapped to
a small parachute, was taken along
and at considerable height was
cut loose from the balloon and
made the descent safely. Miss
Davy then attempted to detach her
parachute from the balloon, but
the ropes failed to work. By this
time the balloon was drifting over
the lake and when near its center
it had descended to within seventy
five feet Of the water. At this
instant the parachute became de-
tached and the daring aeronaut
landed in the middle of the lake.
where the water was forty or fifty
feet deep. Some men in skiffs were
rapidly rowing toward the drown
ing woman and when they reached
her and pulled her into one of the
boats she was unconscious. Medi-
cal assistance was at hand, how
ever, and with proper treatment
she was restored to consciousness
and shortly afterward was able tc
ride back into the city.
The fact that Miss Davy was
fastened to the parachute undoubt-
eddy prevented her from drowning
the parachute remaining on top o
the water and making it impossible
for her to sink to any great depth
When the crowd saw the aeronau
strike the water the ladies screamed
and some of them are said to hav'
tainted but when Miss Davy re
gained consciousness and waved
her hand from the boat to assur
them she was safe she was given
, cheer which almost shook tn
neighboring hills.

THE HEAT.

The heated term still continues
with but little abatement. 1t seems
to have a bad effect on mems
tempers and morals as the past few
weeks have been marked by some
hideous crimes. Two men were
killed in Waco last week and two
in Houston, while young couple
who had been married but few
days committed suicide in Houston.
Following on this came the San
Antonio horror in which negro
raped a little sixteen-year-old girl
and was nearly ilynched by a
frenzied mob. Besides this there
were scores of minor crimes all
over the state.

GONZALES KILLING.

Gonzales, Texas, Aug. 2.-The
young moon had hardly sunk
to rest when about 10 o'clock
Sunday night the calm and quiet
of North avenue was startled by
woman's voice calling piteously for
help, sob, won't somebody come;
come quick" was heard, amid a
fearful beating and pounding, and
then five pistol shots rang out on
the still night air. Parties rushed
to the rescue and found Jack Dill
worth, the colored janitor for the
courthouse, shot down with three
shots in the right arm and in the
bowels from a siXshooter. 1t seems
that Rodger Carroll had been beat
ing his wife, Lille, daughter of
Dilworth's, for several days, and on
Saturday she indicted him. He
was beating her Sunday night when
Dilworth came up to interfere and
Carroll shot him and then ran off
afoot.
Drs. Tate and Jones attended the
wounded man and had him taken
home in a sheet, where he now
lies, a very dangerously wounded
man, with small hopes for his re-
covery.
Shortly after the shooting fully
$50 negroes had gathered at the
Dilworth house to see him.

THE ELECTION.

Presiding Officer Wagner held
the election yesterday in DR.. Ed
sons Office. Messrs. Pannewitz,
Gray, Ondrej and G. W. Eschen-
burg assisted him. But little in
terest was manifested in the cleo
ton.
The count was completed too
late last night for us to secure full
returns so we content ourselves
with a general statement to the
effect that so far as the Sinner box
is concerned the stock law is sus-
tanned and the amendments de-
feated overwhelmingly. The farmer
vote was quite large, they being in
terested in sustaining the stock
law. They also voted solidly
against the amendments. The
GAZETTE went to press this morn
ing at A o'clock and so cannot give
any county returns but the stocl
law will undoubtedly be sustained
The total number of votes cast a
Sinner were over 200.

What General Estey says of the Guard.

When asked regarding the Vermont
National Guard General j. J. Estey said ::
My connection with the National Guar,
has been since May 80, 1874, when l wa
elected Captain of Company |, of Brat,le-
boro. They then took the name of the
Estey Guard. This Company is still in ex-
istence, and is commanded by my eldest
son, Captain j. Gray Estey.
| cannot give you the date Of the Brigade
o. ganization. The first knew of any Bri
gade commanders, was General II. o
Seaver Woodstock. He, however, never
put in an appearance at any encampment
He was succeeded by Gen. Lew G Kings
ley of Rutland, who encamped with us
several times, but never took direct COM
mand of the Brigade. The complete Bri-
gade organization was effected when Gen.
William l.. Greenleaf was elected to that
position in 1886. He was in command I'M
til 1892, when was elected at the Legisla-
ture of that year, and have since been in
command. There has been steady i'm
provement in the morals of the Guard, and
very marked improvement in the last four
years which we have attributed largely to
the efforts Of Capt. Herbert e. Tutherly,
LIST U. S. Infantry, who has been on duty
with the National Guard by order of the
War Department. He has shown himself
to be an officer thoroughly competent, and
withal perfect gentleman. The Guard to
a greater extent than ever before has con,
formed to regular army methods in all the
little details which go to make excellent
soldiers.
