LAREDO IS RECOVERING
REGAINING NORMAL APPEARANCE
 AFTER TERRIBLE STORM.
Loss of Life fin the Twin Cities Re- mains at Twenty-One, as at First Reported-Commu-
 micatiOn by Slkiffs.

Laredo. Texas, April 30.-This city is again beginning to assume its custom ary appearance in spite of the great havoc wrought by the storm of Friday evening last. The large forces Of la borers have been busily engaged in clearing away the debris which filled the streets and it Is now possible to drive to any portion of the city.
 The Western Union Telegraph Com peny has re-established communication with San Antonio with its city office and the electric light company has been so energetic that the city Is now partially lighted.
 Incoming passengers from Mexico state that the storm was very severe in the neighborhood of Lampasas, but no loss of life resulted. Communica- tion with Mexico Is still cut off, as is also communication to the lower coun- try over the Government military line. The worst is now over and 1t will be but a few days when business will re- sume its usual course.
 While 1t is estimated that fully hundred persons were injured, 1t Is not expected that any more deaths will re- suit.
 The number of dead remains at six teen in this city, as at first sent out by the Associated Press. and five lives were lost in New Laredo.
 It will be several months before the international foot bridge can be recon structed and meanwhile the only means of reaching the sister city of Laredo will be by means of small skfffs

DEATH PENALTY GIVEN
JURY DIDN'T DOUBT DEMONsTRA-
 TONS OF POISONING.
Dramatic Scene in Court at GreenviIIe, Tex, Where WiIi Manning Was Tried for the Murder Of
 His Wife.

Dallas. Texs April 3o.--A special to The News from Greenvilln. Tex. says:
 For the first time fin tIie history of this county physical demonstrations of administering poison and causing death have been made in the trial of Will Manning. charged withe poisoning his wife near Celeste.
 Following a dramatic offer of Judge H. D. Wood toshave Will Manning swallow a dose of the strychnine crys- tals taken by chemical process from the stomach of his dead wife, 1t was proposed to make test of the crystals before the court and jury.
 When objections by defendants at- torney were overruled three frogs were brought into the court room. A small quantity of strychnirte obtained from a drug store was injected into one of the frogs and produced death In a few minutes. Into another frog water was injected without appreciable effect. In like manner a small portion of poison from the crystals said to have been found by the chemist in his analysis of the contents of the stomach of the dead woman produced death more quickly than did that from the poison obtained at the drug store. The fRog that had been given an injection of water was dosed with q solution of the crystal poison developed by the chemical analysis and was soon thrown into convuisions and died.
 The demonstration was made in view of the jury and spectators and held inc breathless attention of all,
 Later the jury returned verdict as- easing the death penalty.

Vienna. April 30-The interview at Venice on Saturday by Signor Tittoni and Count Goluchowski, respectively the Foreign Ministers of Italy and of Hungary. is greeted by the press of Vienna as convincing evidence of the friendliness of the relations be- tween the Austro- Hungarian and Ital- ian Governments. Comment on the ln- terview Is all favorable and hopeful. and the meeting is hailed as tending to strengthen the triple alliance. with all that the triple alliance means and stands for. The Fremdenblatt. the or. gan of the Foreign ofice. declares that Austria Hungary and Italy are eudeav- oring to ensure the maintenance of peace in the Balkans and to promote the progress of civilization and bettering influence there. Tn Italy as well as in Austria Hungary" the Fremdenblatt says, athe conviction holds that despite the many dificulties with which the reform work has been attended, the continuation of such efforts Is the best way to prevent the occurrence of incl dents which might result in interven- tion by the powers, and the present method of handling the MacDdonian question is the best evidence of the peaceful tendencies and. desires of the two Governments. The Venice interview proves that the triple alliance still exists in all its old strength and that Austria Hungary and Italy are united for peace in the Far East

 Tragedy Resulted.
] o0Ts A FIRM FRIEND

Salt Lake City, Utah. April ss.-capt. W. A. Raibourn. 2sth Infantry. U g. A.. committed suicide at Fort Douglas early today. after making murdsrous assault on Lieut., William H. Point, also of the zsth Infantry.
 Point was shot twice by his superior oficer, one bullet penetrating his left thigh and another infiicting a deep flesh wound in his right leg. After I.ieutenant Point had fallen Captain Raiburn turned bis revolver upon him- self, sending a bullet into his head about three inches behind hts rightsear. He died almost instantly.
 Captain Raibourn had been drinking heavily and the tragedy was an out growth of his arrest on Tuesday last on charge of drunkenness.
 On Tuesday of las, week. Captain Raibolrn was appointed officer of the day. at Fort Douglas. but failed to re- port for duty and was absent in the city twenty-four hours without leave. He was arrested the following day. but was given the privileges of the. fort, with orders not to leave the grounds. On Saturday evening Captain Raibourn broke the parole and came to the city, Lieufenant Point. who was sent after him with an ambulance. found him in . saloon and he was returned to Fort Douglas under arrest He was ordered to remain in his quarters.
 cautioned by Peint.
 Lieutenant Points quarters are only two doors from those which Captain Raibourn occupied. The lieutenant had just stepped out of doors early today when Captain Raiboirn appeared garry IfnE a hea.15 sS e4iibrc revolver. t His manner was threatening and Point said: Now. Captain, don't do anything foolish"
 Raibourn made no reply. but imme- diately began shooting.
 Raibourn's body was embalmed at the post hospital and tomorrow 1t will be shipped to Oakland City. Indiana. where his mother and two sisters re- side.
 Captain Raibourn had sought to avoid a court martial and had forward, ed to Washington his resignation from the army. It had not been accepted and 1t was supposed that trial by court martial awaited him. Worry over the probability of a dishonorable dis charge from the army and dissipation are believed to have unbalanced his mind.
 Captain Raibourn was 35 years old and unmarried. He enlisted in the army in 1891 as a private. and had worked his way up from the ranks.
 Captain Raibourn and Lieutenant Point had served together in the Phil ippInes and were firm friends.

crats in New York.
 New York, April 30.-At the May Day celebration of the Social Democratic party held today in Carnegie Hall, Benjamin Hanford, who has been a candidate for Governor of this State and later a candidate for the Vice Presidency of the United States re- viewed the industrial situation of the country.
 In referring to the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States Mir. Hanford said that the court was divided five to four against the ten hour law. He said that that was the usual way: the court always decided against the workman. Instead of the Supreme Court" he continued. we ought to have an official dice thrower; we ought to shake dice and then the workman would get a decision once in awhile. I suppose there is as much rascality in the members of the Su- preme court as you will find in any body on earth
 Mir. Hanford cautioned his hearers that while they might have contempt for the court they would do well to obey it's mandates.
