WRIGHT ARRESTED.
Charles V. Wright -was arrested this
morning at 10 o’clock by Warrant Officer
Martin on a warrant issued by Coroner

in the sum of $250 to appear before
Judge Spann’s court to-morrow morning.
Wright is from Boston, Mass., and re-
sides on Q£, between Twenty-eight and
Nwenty-ninth streets. He has been em-
ployed by the City Railroad company for
about two years, and has been married
nearly sixteen years. He came to this city
nearly twenty-five years .ago. Wright
insists that he did not speak to the
passengers at all in his car, and states
that his wife remained in the car when
the others left.

Hot Water to Relieve Thirst.
It is a mistake to suppose that cold
drinks are necessary to relieve thirst.
Very cold drinks, as a rule, increase the
feverish condition of the mouth and
stomach, and so create thirst. Experi-
ence shows it to be a fact that hot drinks
relieve thirst and “cool off” the body
when it is in an abnormally heated con-
dition better than ice cold drinks. It is
far better and safer to avoid the free
use of drinks below 60 degs.; in fact, a
higher temperature is to be preferred;
and those who are much troubled with
thirst will do well to try the advantages
to be derived from hot drinks, instead
of e»ld fluids, to which they have been
accustomed. Hot drinks also have the
advantage of aiding digestion, instead
of causing debility of the stomach and
bowels.—Ladies’ Home Journal.
James T. Spann, Coroner.
Galveston, Tex., June 26 I, James
T. Spann, justice of the peace in and for
the First precinct of Galveston county,
Texas, find from the evidence adduced
before me that the deceased, Josephine
Frary, aged 14 years, and a resident of
San Angelo, Tex., came to her death at
Sealy hospital, in the city of Galveston,
Galveston county, Tex., on the 25th day
of June A. D. 1890, at about the hour
of 10.30 o’clock p. m., from the effects
of wounds inflicted by being run over
and crushed by the tender of engine
No. — of the Galveston and Western
railroad, on avenue N and Twenty-
seventh street, at about the hour of 7.30
p. m. of same day.
And I further find her death was
caused by the gross and criminal negli-
gence of Michael Davis, engineer of en-
gine No. — of the Galveston and West-
ern railroad, and Charles V. Wright,
the driver of car No. 25 of the Galveston
City railroad, and that warrants for ar-
rest issue for both.
James T. Spann, Coroner,
THE SAD HOME COMING.
This morning the mangled remains of
Misses Hattie and Josie Frary were
shipped to San Angelo by express on the
6 o’clock train. Many of Mrs. Frary’s
friends from San Angelo happened to be
in the city, and a large number of them
. accompanied her on her sorrowful jour-
ney. The bodies were embalmed at
Levy’s undertaking establishment by Mr.
P. J. Mitchell. He performed this last
sad rite with artistic skill, and as far as it
lay in his power he removed the awful
traces of the terrible manner of their
death.
The deep and heartfelt sympathy of the
people of Galveston goes out unstintedly
to the bereaved mother in this hour of
affliction. But to her all words are alike
meaningless, since nothing can restore to
her arms her lost and loved children.
She can only look to “Him Who gave
and Him Who taketh away,” for con-
solation in this great bereavement.
THE CAR DRIVER.
Charles V. Wright, the street
driver, who with Michael Davis,
found guilty by Judge Spann of criminal
negligence in the accident that happened
on the narrow guage road the other even-
ing, is about 54 years of age and has
lived in Galveston for twenty-five years.
From what Evening Tribune has been
able to learn, he is a man of family and
of steady habits. He is regarded by the
officials of the street railway as one of
their most capable and competent drivers
and he has been in the employ of that
company at different times for many
years. It is not generally known that his
wife was on the same car from which the
ill-fated Frary girls leaped, yet such was
the case. He was arrested about 10 this
morhkigjjy Officer Martin.
ARREST OF THE ENGINEER.
About 1 o’clock this afternoon Michael
Davis, the engineer, was arrested while
at work on his engine on the Galveston
and Western railroad by Officer Martin,
end gave bond in the sum of $250 for his
Moss Covered Pastures.
There is more than the usual amount
of moss in old pastures this year, an in-
dication, first, that the season has been
unusually wet; and, second, that the
soil needs draining. Moss grows where
nothing else will. The land may have
an abundance of latent fertility, but only
such rudimentary plants as the mosses
can use it. If the moss has not appeared
in previous years plowing and re-seed-
ing with clover and timothy will cure
the evil. So long as the clover lasts the
moss will usually not appear, as the
clover roots will themselves afford suffi-
cient drainage. After the clover dies
out moss quickly comes in, as the grasses
which succeed it do not extend their
roots downward, and have less power to
remove superfluous water.—American
Cultivator.

New York, June 27.—Sarah Bern-
hardt, according to a London special
printed here, has fallen platonically in
love with Henry M. Stanley. Being
questioned aS to her infatuation she at
once confessed to the feeling. “I feel a
purely artistic, though intense, passion
for the hero of Africa,” she said. “I
think him the greatest of men. I adore
him and have every photograph of him
that has been published in every possible
attitude. I would jump at the chance
to accompany him to the heart of Africa,
and if he would only ask me I would
gladly go through all he has suffered. If
he goes, I go also.”
A Minnesota Hanging-.
Associated Press.
Pine City, Minn., June 27.—William
Brooker was hanged in the county jail at
this place to-day. He expressed no re"
ligious or other feeling save what was
shown in a confession written before the
execution and given to the press imme-
diately after, in which he says: “I blame
William Coombs for the deed. He coaxed
my wife and children away from home.”
He told his children good-bye yesterday
afternoon, but did not want to see his
wife.
The crime for which Brooker suffered
was committed last November at Coombs’
house. Coombs was married to a sister
of Brooker’s wife, and she made Coombs’
house a sort of rendezvous. Brooker
went there on the fatal morning, and
while talking with his wife about her
continued absence from home, Mrs.
Coombs interfered. Brooker, furious
with anger, raised his double barrelled
rifle and shot Mrs. Coombs dead.
A Young Lady Commits Suicide With a
Smile on Her Face.
Associated Press.
Dover, N. J., June 27 Miss Lizzie M.
Bilby, aged 16, a very attractive girl
in features and form, committed suicide
recently by taking strychnine at the
home of her mother in this place. At
about 10 o’clock she went to the drug
store of James A. Goodale and bought 10
cents worth of strychnine, saying that
she wanted it for the destruction of rats.
She told a number of neighbors she in-
tended to kill herself, but as she was of
a merry disposition they thought she was
joking and paid little attention to the
matter. She even showed to Mrs. Birk-
ley, a neighbor, the package of poison
she had bought, saying there was enough
to do the work.
Shortly afterward Mrs. Birkley saw the
girl mixing a white powder in a glass of
water, but thought she was only prepar-
ing a drink of soda. A little later the
girl came to Mrs. Birkley’s door with a
merry laugh. About five minutes after-
ward Mrs. Bilby, who was lying down
upstairs in her house, heard her daughter
call to her: “Ma, if you want to see me
alive you have got to get up.”
This call was followed by piercing
screams that awakened the neighborhood
and the girl was found in convulsions in
the sitting room, and stubbornly resisted
all attempts to give antidotes, saying she
wanted to die, and expired a few minutes
after a physician had .reached the house.
STUCK ON STANLEY.
Judge Spann has returned his verdict as
coroner, and it finds Michael Davis, the
engineer, and Chas. V. Wright, the car-
driver, guilty of gross and criminal neg-
ligence in causing the death of Hattie and
Josie Frary.
While the evidence is in many points
conflicting, it is sufficient to justify the
verdict. This community approves the
verdict. Whether these two men are
equally guilty of criminal negligence or
not can only be determined by a careful
and searching inquiry into the facts.
That there was gross and criminal negli-
gence there is no reasonable doubt, and
responsibility and punishment should be
placed where it belongs.
Will this unfortunate accident have the
effect of arousing the city council to the
necessity of taking such steps as will as-
sure reasonable safety to life and property
at street crossings on the line of the nar-
row guage road. If it does the sacrifice
of life will not be entirely in vain.
CLOSE OF THE INQUEST.
Judge Spann took the following ad-
. ditional evidence yesterday evening in
the case:
3. K. Streetman, sworn, says:, “I
live in Galveston. Have been here four
or five months. I was not in the car at
the time the accident happened. I got
o'f on M and stepped under the shed and
looked at the track as they passed on.
I saw the car go across the track before
the locomotive reached them. I saw the
children pulled from under the car. I
got there just a few seconds after the
accident. There was no whistle blown
or bell rung. The locomotive was going
fast. As soon as they got the children
off the track I saw the engineer rush on
down the track at a pretty fast speed.
You cannot see the engine until you get
within a few feet of the track on ac-
count of the oleander bushes. The driver
would have to be nigh to the track to
see the engine. I am positive no bell
was ringing or whistle blown.”
THE VERDICT.
After all the evidence was in Judge
Spann rendered the following verdict in
each ease:
Galveston, Tex., June 26.—I, James T.
Spann, justice of the peace in and for
the first precinct of Galveston county,
Tex., find from the evidence adduced
before me that the deceased, Hattie
Frary, aged 16 years, and a resident of
San Angelo, Tex., came to her death on
the corner of avenue N and Twenty-
seventh streets, in the city of Galveston,
county of Galveston, Tex., on the 25th
day of June, A. D., 1890, at about 7.30
o’clock p. m., by being run over and
crushed to death by the tender of en-
gine No. — of the Galveston and West-
ern Railroad company. And I further
find that her death was caused by the
gross and criminal negligence of Michael
Davis, engineer of engine No. of the
Galveston and Western railroad, and
Charles V. Wright, driver of car No. 25
of the Galveston City railroad; and it is
ordered that warrants of arrest issue for
both.
Davis Sentenced.
Texas Afternoon Press.
Fort Worth, Tex., June 27.—J. W.
Davis, who murdered B. C. Evans in
this city on July 6, 1889, was sentenced
to be hanged to-day on Septembr 1. He
broke completely down when the sen-
tence was passed upon him and wept like
a child. The murderer was employed by
B. C. Evans as clerk in his dry goods
establishment. He was discharged and
proceeded to get full of whisky, when he
returned to the store, called for Evans
and shot him dead in cold blood.

A BIG SALE.
It has been recognized among the real
estate men that business in their line was
duller for the past four weeks than at
any time since January. The fact is that
a sale going anywhere over a thousand
dollars was regared as a good sale. How-
ever, Messrs. Pernett, Scott & Co, knocked
the spots out of the best sale to-day that
has been made in six weeks.
This firm sold lot 1 in section 1, con-
taining ten acres, for $10,000, or at the
rate of $1000 per acre. This looks like
| as if Galveston realty stood at the top.
Besides, the purchaser is a gentleman
living way up by the “Sault Ste Marie,”
and must have confidence in Galveston’s
becoming a deep-water port.
Annual Commencement Exercises of St.
Mary’s University.
The closing exhibition of St. Mary’s
university yesterday took place in the
college hall, which was richly and taste*-
fully decorated for the occasion. Every
available seat was occupied, and not a
single auditor left the hall during the
two hours that were occupied in the
rendition of declamatory and dramatic
pieces (chiefly orignal), varied by vocal
and instrumental music of the highest
order.

Mysterious Disappearance Explained—
A Truant Husband’s Confession.
Associated. Press.
Racine, Wis., June 27.—Ten years ago
John Blacksidge, a well-to-do business
man of this city, kissed his wife and
children good-by and started on a busi-
ness tour of the northwestern states.
From that day to this he has never been
seen by a member of his family, and for
years it was believed that he had been
murdered for $1500 or $1600 that was
known to have been on his person.
To-day, however, the mystery is cleared
up and in a way that carries a strong
tinge of romance with it. Blacksidge was
for a number of years prominent in the
merchantile business here. He was not
rich but had a good business and lived
comfortably. He had a wife and three
or four children, and his home life
seemed happy. So when he disappeared
so suddenly and mysteriously the affair
caused a great deal of talk, but there was
no suspicion that he had left in company
with a woman, and the only theory ad-
vanced was that he had been foully dealt
with. Hundreds of circulars were printed
bearing the picture of the missing man,
and distributed over the country, but to
no purpose.
A day or two after Blacksidge left Ra-
cine, there was another disappearance,
the missing person this time being a pret-
ty, dark-eyed girl of 19 years, named Lu-
cinda Drought. Her disappearance was
in no manner connected with that of
Blacksidge, however, as he was about 45
years old and not particularly attractive
in personal appearance, while the girl
was quite pretty. Now comes a letter
from a little town in Montana to Mrs.
Blacksidge, written by her husband, and
telling the story of his love for Miss
Drought, finally detailing the death of
his comnanion. ' Blacksidge’s letter con-
cludes by assuring his wife that he always
has loved her, and begging her to forget
his desertion and to join him in his west-
ern home. Mrs. Blacksidge at first could
not make up her mind what to do, but
finally concluded to join her husband,
and will start for Montana within a
week.
The main feature of yesterday’s proceed-
ings in the convention was the speech of
Mr. T. J. Johnson of McKinney, whose
subject was: “What Shall Be Taught in
the Public Schools.” The adoption of
the memorial report of the Superinten-
dents’ Association; the address of Dr.
Baldwin in the interests of summer nor-
mals; an interesting paper on vocal mu-
sic by Mrs. E. O. Evans of Fort Worth;
an address by Professor Bringhurst of
the Agricultural and Mechanical college;
an address on civics by Professor T. J.
Atwood of Houston; an address on Ped-
agogue Pitfalls by C, T. Alexander of
Corsicana; an address on behalf of the
state university by Dr. Simmonds; an
address on higher education by Dr. Ru-
fus Burleson of Waco; an address by Dr.
Luther on the same subject, and eloquent
adresses by Dr. McLean and Professor
Irving of Cleburne, with which the day’s
proceedings closed.
THIS MORNING’S SESSION.
When President Hogg called the con-
vention to order this morning the attend-
ance was small. The pedagogues were
basking in the delights of last night’s
festivities to a late hour and were conse-
quently tardy in making their appearance
this morning. Professor DeWitt of Bell
county said the printing, distribution,
etc., of the memorial adopted would cost
$200. He moved that the treasurer be
instructed to pay the bill on the order of
the secretary. This motion elicited a
general discussion on the part of several
members, none of whom seemed to arrive
at a definite conclusion. On motion of
Professor Carlisle the matter was “pigeon-
holed” until the executive committee
makes its report.
Professor Roberts moved that a com-
mittee be appointed and be known as the
teachers’ aid committee; that it should
be the duty of this committee to assist
members out of employment to positions.
The motion was adopted.
Professor Roberts moved that Dr. Bur-
leson be requested to write up the his-
tory of the State Teachers’ Association.
The motion was carried.
Professor W. D. Love of Navarro
county read a paper on the uniformity of
text books. He said that in the rural
districts, especially, uniformity of text
books was an actual necessity. He took
the position that a uniformity of text
books was not only to the educational
interests of the children, but that it was
a matter of great economy, and he read
statistics bearing out his assertions relat-
ive to these matters.
STATE PUBLICATIONS.
Mr. Love was followed by Professor
Carlisle of Fort Worth in an address on
“State Publications.” He treated this
subject in a masterly manner, taking the
position that the state should furnish the
books of the schools. That she furnished
the different offices of the state, and that
if she furnished one departmennat she
should furnish all, and publish her own
books.
Colonel Parker of Chicago was invited
to address the convention on the subject
of state publication. He said Texas had
the grandest future of any state in the
union. He said: “The common school
system of America is in the highest and
grandest sense democratic. What grows
in the people stays by them,. whatever
tends to centralization they throw off.
My belief is to fix your minimum as low
as you can and your maximum just as
high as the people will bear. There is no
end of making text books, and the study-
ing of text books is weariness of flesh.
The greatest obstruction to eduaction is
pedantic instruction. America has the
grandest system of text books in the
world. Among the sixty text books used
in California there is not a good one
among them. The great thing needed is
unity.” He denounced uniformity of text
books as a great evil, an obstruction to
progress, anti-democratic, anti-progres-
sive, and said Texas had better never
adopt a uniformity of text books.
The secretary, Professor J. L. Long,
announced that Miss Josie Garnett had
lost a gold watch, with the initials J. G.
on back, the number of which she thinks
is 2083. Any one finding the same will
please leave it with the secretary.
The convention then took a recess of
five minutes.
On reassembling Professor P. M.
White delivered an address on “Examina-
tions and Teachers’ Certificates,” which
was listened to with the closest atten-
tion.
A Man Interferes in a Family Raw and
is Killed.
Assoicated Press.
Fort Smith, Ark., June 27.—News has
been received here of the killing on Sun-
day last, ten miles from Webbers’ Falls,
Nation, of a man
by Claude McDaniels,
and well-known
Cherokee Nation, of a man named
Stubblefield by Claude McDaniels, a
prominent and well-known planter.
Stubbefield was a tenant on McDaniel’s
place. Sunday afternoon McDaniel made
a pitcher of lemonade for his wife and
she refused to drink it. Some words en-
sued, when McDaniel slapped her lightly
on the cheek. She became very angry
and left home, going to Stubblefield’s.
Late in the evening McDaniel went after
her and insisted on her going home,
when Stubblefield, who had the reputa-
tion of being a bully, slapped McDaniel
in the face, pushed him forcibly off the
porch and ordered him to leave. Mc-
Daniel insisted on taking his wife, when
Stubblefield made for him again, and was
shot twice, the last shot killing him. A
writ has been issued by the court here
for the arrest of McDaniel, but he has
gone on the scout, and his friends are
legion in this section. He will hardly
be caught unless he desires to be.

Waco, Tex., June 27 Sixty thousand
dollars in stcok has been raised here for

italists promised to take all the stock not
taken in Waco, and above half the re-
quisite amount, and Waco is coming up
to the scratch handsomely. Mr. J. A.
Soloman goes to Galveston to-day and
will give Galveston capitalists an oppor-
tunity to invest in the proposed mill.

WHAT THE TEACHERS ARE SAYING.
That Austin is pulling hard to get the
next convention;
That if it is left to a vote of the teach-
ers of the convention, that Galveston
will be selected;
That Austin’s only chance is to have
a committee appointed to select the place
of meeting;
That the constitution will have to be
amended before that can be done;
That such legislation sets a dangerous
precedent and before being adopted
should be well considered;
That Austin’s plea is that many teach-
ers in the northern part of the state want
to see the state capitol, and by attending
the convention there would be gratified;
That some threaten to withdraw from
the present convention unless Austin is
selected;
That Galveston is the best place to
hold their sessions on account of superior
accommodations, etc.;
That Galveston will get it if the popular
will is expressed.
