Mrs. Jas. w. Carson.

At about ~ O'Clock Jan. II. the
spirit Of Mrs. james w. Carson
took its flight. The remains were
inferred in the Bryan cemitery at
. p. m. Saturday. Mrs. Carson,
formerly Miss Estelle Wilson, was
born in Canton, Mississippi, ~
1867. Her father was a proml
nent planter and slave owner, md
being an only daughter she wac,
reared in comfort and ease She
was educated at a seminary IN
Kentucky, where she took high
rank in her class She visited her
uncle at College Station in 1889
and there met her fate in the per
son, Of Mr.. j. W. Carson, and after
= brief courtship they were mar
ried at her home in Mississippi in
the summer 6flS9O, and returned
to College to make their home.
Her naturally bright sunshiny
disposition, added To her charming
manners as hostess drew around
her many admiring friends.
OF her il can truthfully be said
none knew her but TO love her"
Both she and her husband en-
joyed having their friends around
them, and their home soon became
the central gathering place for
| pleasant eyesings.
In 1897 Mr. Carson resigned his
position az assistant director OF
/ tho experiment station TO become
Brazos bottom planter, and for
the past three years they have
lived at Pitts Bridge IN Burlesou
County where she died.
The move proved to be the
transplanting Of a rare flower Ia
an unconseuial soil, for she could
not become satisfied with life IN
the bottom, and her NATURAL,
robust health gradually began o.
fail. She had bnen in rather del
icate health for some months but
it was not considered serious until
a few days befare her death.

PORTER BURNED AT STAKE
Murderer of Louise Frost Pays the
Penalty of His Crime.

Murderer of Louise Frost Pays the
Penalty of His Crime.
LIMoN, Colo, Nov 17.-Chained to a
railroad rail, set firmly in the ground,
on the exact spot where his fiendish
crime was committed, John Porter last
evening paid terrible penalty for his
deed.
The father of the murdered girl
touched the match to the fuel which
had been piled around the negro, and 20
minutes later a last convulsive shudder
told that life was extinct. What agony
the doomed boy suffered while the
flames shriveled up his flesh could only
be guessed from the terrible contortions
of his face and the cries he gave from
time to time.
The executors, who numbered about
300 citizens of Lincoln county, had not
the least semblance of the ordinary mob.
Grimley they stood in q circle about
the fire Hntil the body was entirely con-
sumed, and then quietly took their way
back to Limon, whence they departed
for their homes shortly afterward.
Porter did not seem to realize the aw-
full punishment that he was destined to
undergo. For more than an hour, while
preparations for his execution were in
progress, he stood mute and sullen
among the avengers.
When everything was ready he walked
to the stake with a firm step, paus1ng,
as he reached the circle of broken boards,
to kneel in prayer. He was allowed to
take his time. He arose and placed his
back to the iron stake and half dozen
men wound chains about his body and
limbs.
Kerosene oil was applied to the wood,
and, after brief pause, Richard w.
Frost, the father of little Louise Frost,
whose cruelty mutilated body was found
one week ago on that very spot, applied

WEYLER'S STATEMENT

Shafter Refuses to Discuss
Spaniard's Record.
ONLY TALKING FOR EFFECT
Scb1Gmperf Shoe Co,

That Is WHAT the American General
Says of the Spanish COMMANDMENTS.
Chiefs Assertion Relative to the
Fall of Santiago.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 17.-General
William r. Shafter when asked to COM
ment on General Weyler's criticism OF
the Spanish conduct of the war in Cuba
was not inclined to take Weyler's asser.
tons seriously. He said that evidently
Weyler was talking for effect as every
military man knew that the Spaniards
in Cuba without the aid of feet ia
prevent the landing of invaders, in any
required number, could not have held
the island against the Americans. Gen.
eral Shafter added:
81 do not care to speak of General
Weyler's record in Cuba or whether he
has received unjust censure.
cit is very we'll known that the force
of Spain in Cuba outnumbered by sew
eral times the force landed for the re-
duction of Santiago, but there were few
available to operate against the Ameri-
can troops. Had the troops stationed at
other points not far from Santiago
promptly met the attack of the Fifth
corps, the difficulties would have been
greatly increased, but I don't think they
could have been driven into the sea. 10
is possible, however, that If these troops
had co-operated with the 5000 that did
reinforce the troops of Santiago on the
night of July in making vigorous at
tack, they might have placed the Amer
lean army on the defensive for few
days, but the ultimate capture of San
tiago could only have been delayed.

MINISTER COREA
DENIES STATEMENT
Says Negotiations Have Not

OTHER WASHINGTON NEWS

President Mckinley Is Opposed to the
Proposed Reduction of the South's
Representation In Congress-Report
of the Canal Commission.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Senor Corea,
the Nicaraguan minister, when asked
today as to reports that actual negotia-
lions for new canal treaty had begun,
said there was no warrant for such g
statement; that no such negotiations
have been begun here or at Managua,
nor are they at present contemplated.
His calls on Secretary Hay thus far
have been solely for the purpose of pre-
senting his respects
Mr.. Corea dismissed the report that
he will propose the sale of a waterway
right of way to the United States for
100000 and certain annual rentals.
He says no such plan has ever taken
form and what is to be done will depend
upon the action of congress and the sub

1T WILL NOT BE PRESSED
President Is Opposed to Reducing the
South's Representation.

President Is Opposed to Reducing the
South's Representation.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE opinion
is growing among public men who are
in the confidence of the president that
he will oppose any movement looking to
a reduction of the congressional repre-
sentation of the southern states on &C
count of charges of the disfranchise-
ment of the negro voters. The presi-
dent is said to be opposed to reviving i'll
feeling, which he thinks would be the
result of a bill thus touching the south's
suffrage.
He has been told from many sources
recently that an important element of
southern business men, manufacturers
and others, is at heart with the Repub-
hcans, and that the nucleus of future
revolution against existing political
methods in the south has been securely
established and should not be dissipated
by legislation that would be regarded by
the south as sectional.
On account of the presidents attitude
there is growing opinion that legisla-
ton looking to the reduction of the
southern representation will not be
pressed by party leaders in congress. In
this connection it is suggested that any
action taken in reference to the suffrage
of the south in advance of the adoption
of definite policy in the Philippines
might throw some embarrassment in
the way of the proper disposition of the
citizenship rights of the Filipinos, and,
moreover, it is felt that the government
has as much as it can deal with now
without getting into contention over
dnmeSt1c affairs

it is said, will be held over the remains
of Porter, the self-oonfessed murderer
of Louise Frost, who was burned at the
