afternoon when l arrived at the Villa

Texas was at one time called the New
Philippines. That was the name an
piled by Spain to all that region Dor
6ering on the Gulf of Mexico between
the Rio Grande and Red rivers. The
French, under no less important a per-
sonage than La Sale, were the discov-
erers of the country, and the first peo-
pie to plant a colony and make vow
ages into the interior. The ruins Of old
Fort ST. Louis, built by La Sale at the
mouth Of the La Vacca in 1856, can be
easily traced today, though the rod or
adobe houses have crumbled to mounds
OF dust, and the meats and walls are
shaded by venerable oaks and tail
pines. Strangely enough, the region
where the voice Of the white man, the
sound Of the saw and hammer and the
crack OF the blunderbuss were first
heard, is as wild and lonely today as
1t was two centuries ago. Squirrels
are playing in the branches Of the trees,
f1ocks Of quail fly up out Of the dense
underground in front of the hunter,
wild turkeys frequently exhibit flash
of their black wings, wolves howl at
night where the French colonist once
planted his corn, deer may be shot on
the plaza, and the panther makes his
lair under the ruins of the "governor's
CASTLE" AT one point, Just in the edge
Of little glade, which was doubtless at
one time a cultivated field, there are
the ruins Of a very large stone build
Ing connected by a wall Of rough, un-
dressed stone with the main part. This
must have been q building of consider
able dimensions, and was either
church or the commanders residence.
Many Of the huge rocks that are now
lying on the ground about the great
door are covered0with names, dates and
French words, few Of which can be de-
ciphered. La Sales name, Belfort, and
the date 1886 can be seen in several
places 1t is SUPPOSED; that Belfort was
the engineer or architect There was
bastion at one angle for two cannon,
and these could have commanded the
field on two sides Of the fort for a. long
distance There is also a notch in the
wall which was evidently a port or
loophole for a large gun. Stone and
lead cannon balls broken swords, bay
onets, guns and pistols were frequently
found here when the Americans first
settled in this region, but the field has
been searched over SO often during the
past century that it is very seldom
that anything Of any value Is dlscov-
cred.
Turning north from the ruins of the
church or castle, It Is only few steps
to a dense forest, through which for a
consi Siderable distance may be traced
bitches and embankments.

Murders - Alleged Victims All

LAWRENCE, Kan, Oct 81. ]. Kunkel,
for twenty-five years a merchant in this city,
was arrested on a county warrant charging
him with poisoning his wife, who died ten
days ago. Mrs. Kunkel. before dying, told
her suspicious, and asked that an examination
De held after her death. This was done and
the stomach was found to contain arsenic
ana the medicine was also found to contain
the poison.
Kunkel was sent to jail without bail to wait
trial. Immediately thereafter another Jury
Sas summoned and the body OF Birdie Com
mlngore, his hfteen-year-old stepdaughter,
VINO died with symptoms of poisoning six
weeks previously, was exhumed and the stom-
ech taken out for analysis.
Kunkel has been under suspicion for a long
tlme. -Four years ago he was suspected OF
having poisoned his aged father-in-law Three
years ago his wife died suddenly, and KunkeI
collected IS, 900 insurance on her life
Six weeks thereafter his three-year-old SON
died, and Kunkel collected 81 800 In insurance
on the child's life, and in a short time there
after his home burned and it was heavily in
sured There was much suspicion at the lima
but nothing was done.
When Birdie Commingore died six weeks
ago the second Mrs. Kunkel declared that she
was poisoned by Kunkel and called In wit
nesses to hear her accusations Kunkel passed
1t on by saying that she was crazy In a few
days she died, and by this time public senti-
ment was SO reused that action was taken
which resulted as above

an especially valuable representative for his
district in the last legislature. His record on
labor legislation has made him many votes
for this election that he did not receive last
time, as he showed himself a consistent con-
sentative and safe friend of the laboring
classes. He was for several years member
of Local Assembly 4,031, Knights Of Labor at
Park avenue and Sycamore street, in the dis
trict in which he is now candidate. Mr..
Martin has proven himself an excellent cam
paigner, and has invariably run we'll ahead
of the party ticket when a candidate. In 1890
he was elected county commissioner by q
large plurality. He has been an indomitable
fighter and stump-speaker for the party and
has advocated the cause of Democracy in his
district and in fact, throughout the city and
county, in every campaign since he has re-
sided here.

Mr. Martin was born in DUBUQUE. To-.
thirty-six years ago, and was educated at
st. Joseph's college, Of that city. He learned
the carpenters trade with his father then a
prominent contractor of Dubuque and came
to st. Paul in 1885. Here he engaged in the
real estate business and was placed in charge
of large property interests here, which have
partments of the city and county govern

fall of 1888, coming to st. Paul to go into
business (crockery and china in 1883, under
the firm name of Glenny & Gilman. Mr..
Glenny's father died in 1885, leaving a large
fortune, and the firm sold out. Mr.. Gilman

PROF. wooLsEY ON THE WAR.
He Says if War is Declared That Will
Mark its Beginning.

He Says if War is Declared That Will
Mark its Beginning.
Professor Theodore S. Woolsey of
Yale, the distinguished authority on in
ternational law, said yesterday after
noon:
THE fact that English owners have
laid claim to the cargo of one of the
prizes captured by our blockading
squadron has nothing to do with a
ships carrying the Spanish flag. If the
English prove their ownership to their
cargo it must be handed over to them.
The United States does not profess the
doctrine that the hostile flag incrimi-
mates the cargo
Relative to formal declaration of
war Professor Woolsey said: IF war is
declared now it will be an admission
that it did not exist before. If war is
not declared it may be that we shall
lack the exact point necessary to de-
termine the beginning of hostilities.
What we ought to do is to send note
to all of the powers telling them what
our reasons are for going to war and
what means we shall use in waging
war. The most important declaration
made yet is that by Spain that she
will not capture property under neu-
trail flag. If Spain holds to her word
in this respect our worst danger from
a Spanish source to commerce is re-
moved

CONNECTICUT ELECTRIC RAIL
ROAD PROJECTS

The Vermont Central Railroad COM
pany, lessee Of the New London North
ern, in the suit against the projected
trolley parallel between New London
and Norwich, will plead that the Mont
vile Street Railroad company, which
is trying to build the new line, has
only the right to build a steam road.
The trial of the case will take place at
Norwich this week.
The Shelton Street Railway company
has at last been forced to bring con-
demnation proceedings against the land
owners upon the layout who have ask
ed very high price for the right of
way. The proceedings will probably
delay the completion of the line for
some months.
Workmen will probably begin this
week the laying of the rail on the third
rail extension from New Britain to
Bristol
The freight service on the New Ha-
ven company's trolley extension upon
the Stamford and New Canaan road
will be by motor car of the same kind
as that now used on the Nantasket
road.

4 LIGHr BArrEnY ORGANIZED.

The First Definite Yale Military Organiza-
ton to Volunteer for Active Service.
A mounted light machine gun battery
has been organized among scientific
and academic seniors. The plan of or
ganizing this battery started with a
few seniors in the Sheffield Scientific
school and was given an impetus by a
talk with Lieutenant Murray. Plans
were drawn up and were taken in per-
son to Washington by one of the orig
inators. They We're approved by the
war department there and We're pre-
sented to Governor Cooke for his APP
prevail,
The company calls for sixty men and
the full list has been secured. Most of
them are seniors and have received in
struction under Lieutenant Murray
The plan is to have a battery of six
guns of the Colt or Maxim patent and
the regular 80 army calibre. Each gun
is mounted on a two wheeled carriage
without timber. In action each gun re-
quires one man to work it and two to
feed it.
One half the men will take duty at
the guns, the other half will act as a
reserve. They will 90 picket duty, be
prepared for flank movements, care for
the ammunition or perform any other
speial duty. They will also take their
turn at the guns, and be trained to act
as an infantry reserve.
Each man will be mounted and will
have regular cavalry equipment-car-
bine or rifle as seems preferable. The
ammunition of carbines or rifles and
the machine guns would be identical.
| A battery somewhat similar to this
has been used in England with success.
1t is of special use in connection with
! coast defense where rapidity of move
ment would be required or where a
| rode or file must be held by a small
number of men. 1t is also of great use
| in mountainous countries. In coun-
| tries impossible to wheels, the guns
and gun carriages can be so taken
apart as TO be packed upon mules.
| This company has volunteered. for
whatever service may be required of
them, and will be ready to take the
field at any time.

THE NEW HAVEN SYMPHONY OR

Next Friday afternoon at o'clock
the New Haven Symphony orchestra
will give the last concert of this years
series.
The programme is a very choice one.
Miss Elizabeth c. Gaffney will sing the
aria from the Freischutz with orchestra
accompaniment
The orchestra has been very faithful
in rehearsing it's programme, and it is
a noticeable fact that it will contain
compositions of the genuine classical
and modern school. Among its most
important numbers will be "Hyden
Symphony" and Overture by Zheru-
bini," while the modern selections con-
tain the works of eminent composers.
The ticket sale is now on at the Hy-
perion box office, and it is to be hoped
that the attendance will be a large one.
