A HoLD-UP KILLED.
Negroes Attempted to Waylay and
Rob Kruse-one Killed.


Cuero, Texas. Sept. 22.-Sheriff Far
ris has just been advised by phone
from Hochheim Of a killing which
took place on the road to Yoakum
last night, wherein Win Kruse, an in
dustrious and most excellent young
farmer. killed a negro and shot at an
other, who were in the darkness at
tempting to waylay him as he was re-
turning 10 his home, between Hoch-
helm and Cheapside. from Yoakum.
where he had either sold cotton or his
assailants presumed he had. The
justice of the peace, Constable C. j.
Spiegel and others Of the Yoakum pre-
cinct went out to hold the inquest and
get such facts as they could bearing
on the case. Details are very meager,
but Kruse has phoned the officers he
is ready to come in and surrender
whenever they desire. If all the facts
are borne out as they appear at pres
ent, it is doubtful whether he will
even be placed under arrest. There
seems TO be some bad negroes up in
that locality. and this is not the first
instance OF the attempt Of enterprises
of this character.

CARD BY CAPTAIN O'BRIEN

To the People of Birmingham:
The mayoralty race is over; | have lost
the office but not the light. The victory
/ achieved was, in disclosing hypocrisy,
winning friends, to whom / am now at
tached with hooks of steel and discov-
ering some wolves in sleeps clothing
These are all set in my note book
learned and conned by rote to cast in their
teeth" The value of my discovery and
of my exposition in the late campaign are
more valuable to ne than would be the
office of Mayor though that was the high
honor to which [ did aspire.
As stated in former communication TO
the press: "I entered the race for Mayor
with tile determination to make a clean,
honest, conservative and conscientious
canvass, with heart full of appreciation
for encouragement given me by my fellow
citizens. and that / will have good feel
ing for those who honestly and conscien-
tiousy favor my young friend and COM
petitor'
A retrospective glance at the campaign
presents but one spot that mars the har-
mony of the picture; 1t is the reflection
that though the body of Judas returned
to the dust from which 1t came 1000 years
ago, the spirit still dwelleth with us;
and lust here I am reminded of a few
lines OF the DeQuenzy theory of THE
Iscariot': HE that betrays his master
for a bribel He. last of all, | say, this
friend of mine?"
Now, I shall do all in my power to
aid the administration chosen, in its every
effort for the advancement, industrally,
educationally and morally, of this city,
that T. as private citizen. deeply in
terested in Birmingham, can do If /
possessed or held in my hand a Ratchet
It should be placed deep under the earth
this day; | am not going TO take advan-
tage of the ten days grace usually al
lowed a defeated candidate to tone down
or to sober up.
In conclusion, | desire to thank the
large number of friends who honored me
with their confidence and hearty sup
port, and beg to assure one and all that
to my dying day their fealty to me will
ever be a sign to contrast with the treacn-
cry OF others who should have been
true.
To you, my noble coworkers, whose
obedience to. and prompt execution Of
all orders extended, made my work labor
of love and something 10 dwell on with
pleasure, what shall ! say? God bless
you! will express the feelings prompted
by my heart. To your good work is MAIN
ly due the credit for the successful termi-
nation of one of the most novel political
campaigns ever waged In this state. It's
all over now; your fellow citizen,

RICH TURN TO HOTEL HOMES
Many Said to Prefer HOstelries to
Private Houses.
Plaza, Which Has Cost $4,000, ,OOO,
Has Rented Half of It's 500
Rooms by the Year.

New York. Sept 19.-It was the opinion
Of hotel men, architects, bli!ders. and
capitalists who met informally AT the
Plaza Hotel to-day for an Inspection Of
the building that with II the climax had
been reached in the size and cost Of
hotels. II was unlikely, they thought
that more than $4,000 would ever be
invested in the ground structure. and
cost of single hotel All agreed that
the hotel shows a striking tendency on
the part OF many wealthy people 10 es-
tablish their New York homes IN a hotel
The Plaza is as large is amy hotel in
operation IN the city; like the Belmont
it has 800 living rooms, and already one
half Of its accommodation for guests has
been taken for permanent homes under
yearly contracts. One Of these .home
tenants" has taken so many rooms taat
he will pay about $4,000 d year rent.
1t was the testimony Of hotel men to-
day that no hotel ever opened in the
city with one quarter Of such proportion
Of its accommodation rented for homes.
and il was said that until the building
OF two Of the recently opened hotels in
Fifth avenue this matter of renting space
by the year to families was hardly
known.
