THE HORNBY KILLING.
The Railway Engineer Believes II was
Suicide-His Testimony.

Coroner Shook heard the testimony
this morning on the inquest OF II. II.
Horribly, who was killed by Il freight
train on the International about five
and a half miles south of the city yes
terday morning.
X. l.. Mcleod testified as follows:
II live ut 10 San Marcos street. l
am an engineer on the International
and left San Antonio on my regular
run on freight train No. 63, first sec
ton, bound south for Laredo. When
approaching 4 stock path, about 5la
miles from San Antonio I noticed a
man approaching the track from the
west. He was about 800 or 400 feet
from the engine when saw him. He
stepped on the track and made three
or four steps south and stopped. As
soon as | saw him step on the track
and turn south l began to blow the
whistle. He paid no attention what
ever to the whistle, nor did he even
turn his head. His back was turned
to the engine when it struck him.
Immediately stopped the train and
the conductor, changed his position,
as he was lying face UP with his head
in the ditch. He was dead when we
got to him. My opinion is, judging
from his actions, that he intended to
commit suicide. We were travelling
about Is miles an hour when he was
struck. The accident occurred about
7:40 a. M"
J. w. ConrOy, living ut 2404 West
Commerce street, was conductor of
the train. He also testified, but the
evidence does not develop anything.
The cOroner's verdict is that death
was accidental, caused by being struck
by railway train.

DEADLOCK BROKEN.
Evans Assignment Bill Virtually Kill
ed-Senate Bills.

Evans Assignment Dill virtually Nlll-
ed-Senate Bills.
Austin, Texas, Feb. 26-Special-
After being under call since Tuesday
afternoon at five o'clock the House adj
journed this morning mt 11:30 O'clock,
thus breaking the deadlock. The as
signment bill was practically killed by
the action however, inaSmuch as the
minority forced the majority to set the
bill for next Tuesday with the speci-
fed agreement that the bill was then
to be discussed from day to day until
everybody was satisfied. The min
Ority will never be satisfied, however
and as they can tie up the House
again on the matter Of voting when
ever they see fit, the fate of the Evans
assignment bill is practically settled
as a dead gOsling. The House ad-
soon as the doors were opened the
members fairly flocked out of the
house as happy as school boys being
turned loose for Il holiday.
In the Senate a joint resolution to
exempt manufacturers that come to
the state from taxation for ten years
was passed to engroSSmPnt
The bill amending the Waco charter
so as to abolish the Office Of city treas
urer was finally passed and without
any debate.
The Senate passed to engrOsSment Il
bill allowing the State Agricultural
exhibit to be taken to the Tennessee
exposition at Nashville.

Gently:
HE stole his first door mat, or, rather,
his first three door mats Just about
three weeks ago. Just which Of our
neighbors he despoiled, heaven alone
knows, because there was no way of
identifying the door mats. They were
promptly taken from his doghouse the
next morning and slowed in our cellar,
to await possible claimant. And that
night he went out and stole three more
door mats, which he disposed in his
quarters as artiStically as could the
most luxurious bachelor housekeeper
on earth. They, too. were taken from
