Dallas. Texas. May IA special
from Goliad. Texas. says:
Ninety are dead. Over 100 are
wounded. In addition there is gaming
wound in the town-the path of one of
the most destructive cyclones ever
known in Texas. The tornado struck
this place about 3:45 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. lasting only about five min
utes, leaving death and destruction ev-
erywhere in it's wake.
1t came from the southeast without
a warning, completely demolishing a
strip about two blocks wide through
the whole western part Of the town,
about mile long. Among the many
houses destroyed are the Baptist
church and parsonage, just built. the
Methodist church and colored
church. 1t is impossible to estimate
the number of houses destroyed, but
1t is thought the number will reach
100: The damage done can not be ap-
proSimated. but it is very great. All
the human dead and wounded have
been taken care of.
The path Of devastation is strewn
with all kinds of debris and dead and
wounded animals.
The pitiful cries OF the wounded are
heard everywhere and at times are
heartrending. A report from the coun.
try around Goliad is to the effect that
no damage was done. A special train
bearing the O'Conner guards, six ply
sicians. nurses and many volunteers
came from Victoria. Although every
thing is done for the relief of the
wounded. cries for physicians and med
zeal attention are everywhere heard

DISCUSS CONVENTION.
Republican County Central Committee

Chairman F. w. Cockburn, of the
Republican county central committee,
informs the Inter Ocean that the mem
bres of the committee will meet in
this city tomorrow, Saturday after
noon, for the purpose of setting date
for holding the convention to nomin-
ate county officers.
County politics in Ramsey county
have been unusually quiet this year,
and up to the present time it would
appear to the casual observer that al.
most everyone of the present county
officers will have easy sailing for re-
nomination. There is absolutely nc
pronounced opposition for any county
Office, and if there are aspirants, they
have succeeded excellentlyin keeping
the mattre from publicity.
Mr.. Cockburn does not positively
know what date will be named for
the holding of the convention, but is
of the opinion that will be either Octo-
ber 4th or 18th. At any rate, Ramsey
county nominees will have a brief
campaign.

HE GOT ONE YEAR.
Jennings Walker Pleads Guilty to Burg

At special term of the district
court held at the court house on Mon
day morning, Jennings Walker, who
was arr ested at Grand Harbor some
time ago, on a charge Of burglary in
the third degree, was taken before
Judge Cowan and before him pleaded
guilty to the charge. He was sentenced
to one year in the state pen, and was
Immediately taken there to begin his
time.
Walker is a married man with a
family, and has lived in Grand Har
Dor for number of years. Some
time ago he broke into drug store at
that place and helped himself to a
small quantity of booze, for which
act he will now find ample time to
reflect and study a new and better
pain of conduct for the future.
