DEATH OF SRA.
JUANA A. MORAN
Woman who Vas Burned Wednesday
Night Dies Of her Iniuries-Son in
Prison in Mssamoros.

Last night about the same hour
as that at which she was burned
on the previous night, Mrs. Juana
Alvarez Moran died from the eff
fects of her injuries. Death came
as blessed relief tc her agony
which was fearful to contemplate.
The decease was aged forty years.
She leaves one son, Alonzo Moran,
aged about nineteen years, and
tive little girls only a few years
old. The funeral will take place
this afternoon.
A very sad feature of this case
is the fact that the son, Alonzo
Moran, IS a prisoner in Matamo-
ros, and not permitted to attend
his mothers funeral, being in all
probability still ignorant of her
death. The poor woman had just
returned frOm Matamoros, where
she visited her unfortunate son,
when the terrible accident hap
pened which caused her death. 1t
lis claimed by the relatives and
friends of the boy in Brownsville,
that he is unjust1y imprisoned,
being innocent of the charge on
which he was convicted. He was
accused of breaking into the stamp
Office in Malamoros one night
during the Cinco de Mayo festivi-
ties, and is under sentence of
eighteen months Imprisonment.
It IS said that he did not really
break into the place, but was very
much intoxicated the night in
question, and when on his way
towards the ferry returning home,
fell against the door of the stamp
Office which opened as he fell
Tumbling inside the room, he was
too drunk to get up aud so fell
asleep there. He was found asleep
in the Office and arrested, being
tried and sentenced as stated.
This is what his friends claim, and
if true, his case is indeed very sad.
The boy is only about nineteen
years old. His poor mother was
grieving about him constantly. It
would seem that something might
be done to obtain a pardon for him,
especially if be is an American
citizen.

the official report of sale was over 35
million barrels valued at over 33 million
dollars. A gain of nearly million bar

much more demand and so many more
