REIGN OF TERROR IN TEXAS
Thousands of Negroes Fly to Cities
For Their Safety.

Dallas, Tex, Aug. SO.-Two thousand
negroes have gathered in Dallas and
others are on their way, fleeing from
the white Caps that have begun a
reign of terror in Rockwell, Denton,
GraySOn, Kaufman, Fannin and other
counties. All over northern Texas the
white Caps are active. The negroes
are thoroughly terrified.
The original intention of the white
Caps" was to rid their neighborhood of
undesirable negroes, but so thorough
has been the crusade that not a single
colOred person is safe, and therefore all
have left for Dallas and other cities
Dallas has been the Mecca of them,
for they know that in this city they
have a refuge and are safe from attack
They have no place to stay and they
can be seen huddled together like sheep
in droves of 200 and less. The problem
of caring for them now stares the city
officials in the face, for it is realized
that they can not all find employment
here and many are destitute.
The negroes have not the slightest
idea what they will do or where they
will go. Their only object has been
to obey the order of their avengers and
escape the unmercifuI beatingS that
scores of their race have been subjected
to in the last few days. The crusade
against them began last winter and has
been vigorously prosecuted. The ex-
odus began from the district the first
of this week and hundreds have been
coming into the town every day and
night

tographer, I. G. jerks. The old pho
tographer did not disclose the fact that
she had been to Lexington until nearly
a month after her soldier lover had
gone to Chickamauga, and he seemed
to think she was madly in love with
the boy in blue. Those who knew
Dora's mother predicted that General
Clay would not suit her for hus-
band.
Dora is in face and form the perfect
counterpart of her mother, and there
fore those who knew her best were
not surprised at the reports in Valley
View. 1t is the general opinion that
had Dora married a young man she
would never have abandoned home as
she did her decreptt old lover, Cassius
Marcellus Clay. General Clay's health
has been good this summer, but he
has kept close at home, and has not
been in Richmond since one day last
winter, when he was prosecuting neigh
bors in the courts for cutting timber off
his farm. He declines to talk of his
disappointing experiment with the
peasant" Dora Richardson, and as he
was also divorced from his first wife
he declares marriage a failure.

YOUTHFUL CAMPAIGNER.
Made an Orphan at FL Caney, Negro
Boy Now Seeks His Mother.

New York, Aug 30.-The officers Of
the Children's society last evening were
surprised to see a uniformed officer of
the regular army enter their rooms at
TWenty-third street and Fourth avenue
leading by the hand a dininutive negro
boy, clad in garments much too big for
him, and which, for the greater part,
had been constructed of cast off gar
ments of troopers. The officer said he
was Major Powell. a surgeon from the
United States transport Rio Grande.
The lad, he said, was Herbert Horner,
eight years old, whose father, a mem
Der of the Ninth cavalry, was killed at
the battle of Ell Caney.
The boy told Agent King that two
years ago he lived with his parents at
to New York. Since then he had not
seen her A few months ago, the lad
said, he went with his father to Fer
nandina, Fla, where the latter enlisted.
After the father had been killed at Ell
Caney, Captain West, of Troop A,
Sixth cavalry, took the little fellow as
a mascot, and the boy remained with
that command until the troop reached
Camp Wikoff. There he was turned
over to Major Powell The boy asserts
that he saw the battle of Santiago and
helped to kill Spaniards. Major Powell
says the troop also declared the boy
in the least alarmed, and even assisted
the injured as best he could. The so
ciety will make every possible effort to
find the boys mother, who is supposed
to be in this city. In the Center street
court this morning Magistrate F1am-
mer committed the boy to the society
pending the investigation.

MAIL WAGON FOR SANTIAGO
Three New Military Postal Stations
Opened In Porto Rico.

New York, Aug. SO.-The postoffice
department is giving special attention
to the development of the postal SER
vice in Cuba and Porto Rico. Yester-
day it notified Postmaster Van Colt of
the opening of three new military pos
tai stations in Porto Rico, at Guyana,
Mayaguez and San Juan. One has pre-
viously been established at Ponce. All
four are fully equipped for the transac-
ton of a general postoffice business.
The latest addition to the postal IA
cilities at Santiago, Cuba,is a two-horse
mail wagon, which was sent from here
on the steamship Vigilancia on Wed
nesday. It is of the pattern of the
wagon built last year for carrying mail
from the harbor postoffice boat to the
railroad stations and the general post
office. It is of lighter but stronger
make than the old-style mail wagon,
and the clumsy box upon the latter,
which gives it the appearance of a furn-
iture van, is replaced by wire screens
at the ends and sides. This wagon is
intended to supply temporarily the mail
transportation requirements at Santi-
ago, and it is believed that two of three
more vehicles will be needed there in a
short time.

TOAST ON A DEATHBED.
Rev. A. G. P. Dodge Pledges His As
sociates in a Glass of Wine.

Brunswick. Ga, Aug. 3O.-The burial
of Rev. A. G. P. Dodge of the Episcopal
church, a minister of great wealth, yet
who preferred the charge of the humble
little parish on St. Simon's island to a
luxurious life, took place here today.
Rev. Mr.. Dodge was a son Of William
z. Dodge of New York and was also
related to the famous Phelps and
Stokes families.
The deathbed scene Of the minister
was unusual. A religious associate
says of it:
I'VE asked if we could do anything
to please him. With that spirit which
characterized his thoughtfulness of 9TH
ers he replied: Tt is hardly of use to
put you to trouble now, but if you
would like to please me go to my closet
and get one bottle of sweet and one bot
tie of dry wine and bring both here
We did so and he gave directions for
each to take a small glass and fill it
about one third full. Giving him one
also and holding ours before US, we lis
tened while he raised his hand and
said: Here is wishing you life and
health and Gods blessings all the days
allotted to each of you on this earth and
spiritual life in the great beyond We
drank the toast and benediction in 81
lence, while the hand of the dying man
did not tremble as he returned his glass.
ShrOtly afterward he died"

WILD MAN WITH A FLAG.
Has Long Hair and Beard and Scares
People on Lake Shore.

Waukegan, III, Aug. 3O.-Reports
have been current for several days that
a wild or insane man was roaming
strangely through the woods and
swamps on the lake shore five miles
north of here The report was today
confirmed by John Hayes, a resident of
Benton, who saw the man Wednesday
night.
Mr.. Hayes was on his land near the
lake shore and saw a strangely attired
man walking in the swamp little ways
off. The man was bareheaded and wore
barefooted, had long black, disheveled
hair and beard and carried a large
American flag Hayes shouted to him,
when he ran into the woods despite
efforts to pursuade him to stop and
talk Mr.. Hayes son chased him sew
eraI miles, but could not catch up with

BUYING SHEEP IN NEVADA.
Chicago Packers Are Cleaning Out the
Ranges Near Reno.

Reno, New, Aug. 3O.-Chicago men
have spent at least a quarter of a mill
lion dollars in this section within the
last few weeks in the purchase Of
lambs. Buyers for Swift and Armour
have visited the Nevada ranges and in
two weeks they have purchased $4,000
lambs for shipment direct to Chicago.
The price paid has ranged from $3.50
to 81. 65 per head for 4-mOnths-Old stock,
nearly twice what was paid two years
ago. Until recently the Nevada stock
all went to the San Francisco market,
but at last, yielding to continued APP
peals, the Southern Pacific made a IA
vorable rate east and as a result the
Chicago men have come here for
stock. Nevada sheep raisers are profit
ing greatly by the change.

PASTOR ANGRY AT A JOKE
Rev. F. M. Moore Sues a Telephone
Company For $4,000 Damages.

Hagarstown, Ind, Aug. 30.-Rev. F.
NJ. Moore, a minister of the United
Brethren church, has brought suit
against the Central Union Telephone
company for 81, 500 damages. The ground
of his complaint is the failure of the
telephone company to properly convey
a message in which Rev. Mr.. Moore
was solicited to come to Falmouth, Ind,
to preach a funeral sermon.
After receiving the message the COM
plainant went to Falmouth, but on ar
irving there found the information
conveyed in the message was erroneous
and that there was no funeral in that
part of the county On account of the
levity INDUCED in at his expense by
persons who learned of the peculiar mis-
take the minister was subject to great

DIVORCE FOR GEN. CLAY.
Aged Kentuckian Now Seeks a Di-
vorce From His Child Wife Dora

Richmond, Ky, Aug. 30.-General
Cassius Marcellus Clay today carried
out his threat of many months ago to
bring suit for divorce against his child
wife, Dora Richardson. His son Brutus
visited him today for the first time in
two years. He was opposed to his
father marrying the girl and the gem
eral accused him of trying to abduct
her. 1t seems that the old man has
found that Brutus was right when he
told him he could not be happy with
her, and he yielded to his sons entrea-
ties and will put his second wife away.
Before consenting to divorce Dora,
the general, with that sense of honor
and duty for which he was always
characterized, today purchased a little
farm in Woodford county, near the
hamlet of Pinckard, and on this she can
live the remainder of her days. She
has been living near Pinckard for sew
brother, Leonard Richardson. The
plan is to allow her to remain with
Leonard and he will board and clothe
her for the use of the farm.
The general said today that he in
tended to provide for Dora as long as
he lived and he hoped the farm would
be sufficient for her wants after his
death. The grounds for divorce can not
be made public tonight. The circuit
clerk declines to give information, and
as Brutus is his fathers adviser he will
give nothing out tonight. 1t is believed
the grounds will be abandonment of
the PLAINTIFFS house and board, which
in Kentucky is a legal cause for di-
vorce.
Dora has not lived with her aged hus-
band since November II last, and she
has caused a great deal Of gossip in the
Valley View neighbOrhood by receiving
the attentions of Will Bryant Her
brothers, Will and ClelI, had a shooting
ARRAY on account of the gossip that
was being related about Dora and
Bryant. Then Dora left Clells and
went to stay with her sister, Mrs. Kelley,
She continued to receive Will Bryant as
a sutton, but Mrs. Kelley refused him
the house and they met clandestinely,
and a young man watched them one
day and reported what he saw.
His report created a decided sensa-
ton and it was not long until Dora
was sent to Leonard's, at Pinckard.
Here she was thought by General Clay
to have formed an attachment for a
young man who Joined the volunteers,
and she made several trips to Lexing
ton to see him while the state troops
were being modified here
While here she kept her presence sec
ret and lived with an old outdoor pho

Under Consideration at Last-Belief

of war has at last taken up the volum-

of Capt o. NJ. Carter of the corps of

of dismissal, imprisonment in the peni-
Tertiary, fine, and ostracism will be re-

disgrace and virtual ostracism required
by the Tooth article of war, which is un-
derstood to be applicable to Capt Car
