PROF. VIM. LIPsCoMB, OF DALLAS, KILLED BY JOHN
 T. CARL ISLE.
SHOT IN A CHURCH.
The Slayer is Cousin of the Former Secretary of the National
 Treasury.

Houston, Tex, July 11.-A spe- cial from Dallas, says: At 9;30 last night one of the most startling tragedies Dallas has ever known took place in tbe First Christian church, Pearl and Bryan streets. In the midst Of protracted meeting services, John T. Carlisle arose from his seat at the rear of the house and walked to where Prof. William Lips comb, principal of the Central High School, the leading educational in stitutien of the public schools Of this city, was seated, on the first, seat in front of the altar, and shot, him without word of warning, the. weapon used being thirtY-eight caliber pistol. Prof. Lipscomb sprapg up from his seat, grappled with his assailant and toppled over into the isle. The report spread that be was killed. He had only swooned, however, and soon regain. ed consciousness. The w0undl, nowp.- ever, was mortal. The bullet enters ed the left side just below the heart. passed downward through the ssom-- ach, coming out on tbe right side. Mr. Carlisle was seized oy persons near him and was prevented from l firing another shot. He was taken tC the county jail aud locked up. He appeared to be almost helplessly drunk and could mot or would not talk of the tragedy, Prof, Lips1 comb was too badly hurt to De re- moved from the church. He was
 laid on the altar, his head resting in his wifes lap and bis feet in chair. He died at 10:45. Carlisle had for nearly year been chief janitor of the high school but failed to be re- appointed by the school board about ten days ago. Carlisle attributed his defeat for reappoin ntment to the professors influence with the school I board. It is believed this was the cause of the murder. Prof. Lips comb was Q native of Nashville, Tenn, and came to Dallas four years ago John T. Carlisle is a. native of Kentucky, a cousin of former Secretary of the Nati onah Treasury John 0. Carlisle.

THE ALUM BAKING POWDERS.
Names of Some of the Principal
 Brands Sold in this Vicinity.

The recent discussion in the papers of the effect upon the human system of food made with alum baking pow ders and the opfaions that have been the effect that such powders render the food unwholesome.- have caused numerous inquiries for the names of the various aium powders.
 Some time ago the health authori- ties of St. Lotus made ai examina- ton Of the baking powders sold within their jurisdiction. The names of the alum powders then found were reported and published. The follow ing list is made up from this report, fcom the reports of he state chem fists of Kentucky, Nebraska ar Min nesota, or from other equally reliR- ble au uthorty.
 In Minnesota and Wi-cnnsin of such importance do the Food Con- missions deem the natter that the names If the alum powders sold in each state are carefully ascertained and published. Similar publicity in this state would be in the In .erest of the people

The manufacturers, 1t is said, find their efforts to market their goods in this way greatly aided hv the ambi- tion of the grocer to sell q powder with his own name upon the label especially when the grocer can make an abnormal profit upon it. Many grocers, doubtless, do not know that the powders they are thus pushing are alum powders which would be actually contraband in many sec tions if sold without disguise.
 1t is quite impossible to give the names of all the alum baking pow ders in the market. They are con- stautly appearing in all sorts of dis guises, under all kinds ofcognomens, and at all kinds of prices, even as low as five and ten ceLts a pound They Can be avoided, however, by the housekeeper who will bear in mind that all baking powders sold at tw6nty-five cents or less per pound are liable to contain alum, as pure cream of tartar baAiDg powders cannot be produced at anything like this price

featuring industry is chiefly con- hned to the States of North and South Carolina, with few scattered mills in Georgia and Alabama.
 A most encouraging feature 10 connection with the cotton manu- featuring industry in the South is that it is the product of home capi. tai, in many communities. especially in the two Carolinas, local stock companies having been organized. These mills pay annual dividends ranging from 10 to a per cent, which the Journal of Commerce says "are tempting to capital, and it further declares that the wonder ful growth ard increase of the mills shows sthat the aovantages of spin hing the cotton near the field where it was picked have not been exhausted.

Hot Time Picnic.

This morning when the mercury
in the thermometer was reaching
for the century mark, a perspiring
band of negroes seated in a band
wagon drawn by four horses, passed
west on Broad street. The coon
with the. big bass fiddle kept up a
saving, and in prompting for dance
would tell between saws that a big
free barbecue would be given out
just beyond the Cotton Belt round
house today, and a general invita-
ton was extended to all.
Later in the day, we saw on the
streets young negroes of the ado
lescent age, dressed in blue and
red base ball uniforms, and we sup.
pose the picnicers will be RECALLED

vICE.PRgsIDENT HOBART DEAD.

Vice President Hobart died at Pat
t~erson, N. j.. at 80 A. NJ. November
81. He had been seriously i'll for
several weeks, but a few days ago his
condition improved and hopes were
entertained for his ultimate recovery.
Carrot A. Hobart was born in New
Jersey, June A, 1874, his American
ancestry dated back more than a
century. He graduated from Rutgers
College in 1868 and was admitted TO
law practice in 1869. He served
several terms In each branch of the
New Jersey Legislature and was elect
ed Vice. President on the Republican
ticket in 1896. He leaves an estate
valued at several millions.
BY the death OF Mr.. Hobart, the
Office of Vice. President Of the United
States becomes vacant for the rest Of
President McKinley's term, as the law
provides no succession. A President
pro tenn OF the Senate we'll be elected
by that body when Congress assem-
bles, who will hold the office until
March, 1901. By law the succession
to the Presidency Of the United States
in the event of a vacancy falls upon
the Vice President and in the event Of
the latter's death to the Secretary Of
State.
Senator William P. Frye of Maine
is now president pro tenn of the Senate.
He will call the body to order when it
assemblies on December 4th and pre-
side until a successor is chosen. That
he will succeed himself is conceded.

RACE RIOT In TEXAS.

A serious affair has occurred at Rio
Grande City, Texas, at which place is
located Fort Ringgold, garrisoned by
a company of the Ninth U. S. Cavalry
(colored). Information so far obtained
is OF a very conflicting character. The
County Judge at Rio Grande wired
Gov ernor Sayers hat the hostilities
were opened Monday night by the
negro soldiers, who deployed in a
ravine on the edge OF the town for
about an hour and a half, shooting
into a number OF houses, wounding one
man, and frightening the women and
children so badly that many OF them
fed to the nearby ranches for safety /;
that the attack was unprovoked, and
intense excitement prevailed oyer the
situation.
The report OF the commander Of the
post differs materially from the above.
He states that all the troops were in
the garrison when the citizens of the
town advanced on the fort and fred
upon the guard. The guard returned
the fire and the entire garrison was at
one called to arms. The citizens
continued their firing upon the fort,
the soldiers returned the fire and
finally had to bring their Calling
guns into play TO dispense the attackers.
The commander states he fears further
trouble and asks for more troops.
Governor Sayers has wired the
Secretary of War the condition of
things, and has asked for an immedi-
ate, impartial and searching investiga-
ton into the conduct of the negro
soldiers, and for their immediate re-
moyal from Fort Ringgold.
