erstein, architect Of the Gonzales cot
ton mills, arrived from North Carolina
yesterday to Inspect the work. Mr..
Biberstein says that in all his mill
experience he never saw better work
executed and plans and specifications
carried out more satisfactorily. And
the brick and lumber are far better
than in the old States. Our brick is
home manufacture. Mr. Blberstein
says he can't find a flaw or make a
suggestion Of change in the mill
work. which reflects much credit on

lessness of the victim is unknown at
present and the facts concerning the

No 10 last night, the train had slowed
down to regulation speed before the
accident and when the accident occur
ed the train was within two blocks of
the depot which is located in the south

ahead of the approaching train but
before he reached safety on the other
side the train was upon him. He was
struck in the side and hurled dis.
