A Woman Kills ber Hawband.
Yesterday afternoon there was
a family fight, which ended in the
killing of one of the parties.
Fro# an interview with the ar-
rested party, we glean the follow-
ing facts: At about half past three
o'clock yesterday, one Granville
Dickerson, saw bis wife, Geor-
giana Dickerson, talking to a
man by the name of Washington,
and began to abuse Jher, inform-
ing her that he did not permit her
to talk with any man but himself;
some words then passed between
them, and he struck her several
times, sat on her and choked her.
She eventually threw him Off, and
got up, when he drew a common
large jack knife and struck at her
„ „ . —^ rt|fcse¥eral times. After the third
die caught tie knife from
him and struck him once, the

Local Reriew.
The week just closed has not
been a noticeable one as far as
local excitements were concerned.
The usual effects of bad whisky
were accelerated by the intense
heat* The number of drunken
people who reluctantly reported
for punishment was considerably
increased.
The District Court was in sea-,
sion and passed upon a good many
civil suits, none of which possess-
ed any pubic importance.
The County Court had one of
their regular meetings and levied
the tax for the present year, which
we published in cxtenso, as well as
completing their arrangements for
the making of the road to Harris-
burg.
In the interest of humanity,
they unanimously passed a resolu-
tion instructing Joe Shannon, a
deputy sheriff, to repair the coun-
ty jail, and have more and larger
openings made so that prisoners
could breathe.
The charity hospital is still in
need of many things to make it a
fit habitation for human beings,
forced by sickness to ask relief
and rest within its walls.
The City Council had a very
mild session on Saturday. Col.
Grow, representing the Interna-
tional and Great iforthern Bail-
roads, had a friendly interchange
of views with the Council. He
stated that these railroads had
not interfered with the drainage
of the city, and showed that unity
of interest rendered it necessary
that harmony should continue.
He was willing to do everything
required in reason.
The city has been visited by M.
M. Pomeroy, Esq., the bold and
out-spoken Democratic leader, on
lis return from the ISTavasota
Fair.
Mr. Pomeroy visited the Cen-
tral Machine Shops, and had a car
and engine placed at his disposal,
attended by Mr. Charles A. Bur-
ton, the popular Assistant Super-
intendent, who originated the
works now existing. * He also
visited Peregoy's Car WorkSf
Wiggin, Simpson & Smith's large
Machine ShopandFoundry; Bagby
& Ernest's^ Brass Foundry, Mac-
atee's Soap Factory, the Laundry
in«the same building; the Hous-
ton City Mills; the jewelry estab-
lishment of C. W. Pescay & Co.,
on Main street; the new City Hall
Theatre and Market House; Court-
ney's Artificial Stone Works, and
several other places, at all of
which Mr. Pomeroy took ex-
tensive notes. He was also
waited upon by all the Demo-
cratic ; clubs, and invited
to address the people, which invi-
tation he aeeepted, naming Thurs-
day night as the time. We learn
the Hew Theatre will be secured,
if possible, and we'are sure it will
be filled to repletion. Hext Fri-
day night, the 8th, will be appro-
priated by the ladies and children,
who will flock to the Great Show,
and look, with delight at the many
wonders which will be exhibited.
The little ones will revel in pleasure
for the whole day, as the grand
procession commences at ten
o'clock in the morning, but how
happy they will feel at night when
listening to the automaton lady
bell ringers, the jokes of the
clown, and seeing the beautiful
birds with their gay plumage 1 Hie
menagerie will present a large
e^Bestion of wild animals, em
bracing a rhinoceros, and a. uni
corn. The little ones now are all
expectancy.
Trade has not been very brisk,
but some business has been done,
and our leading grocers are offer
ing new flour, new fruits, and
other articles.
The week has been remarkably
healthy, only eight deaths being
reported, and. none of them from
contagious diseases.
Its close, however, wasmelan
eholy, caused by the sudden de-
mise, after bathing, of young Mr.
Matt Conklin. He was a young
man full of promise and possessed
abilities of a high order. Cut off
in his twenty-ninth year, so sud
denly, his many friends were
startled, and the whole commu-
nity sympathize with his father,
Who felt the blow, as did his other
male and « female relatives. He
possessed many virtues, not the
l&st of which was a kind and lov-
ing heart, and a free hand, ever
open to the suffering and dis-
tressed. *
STATE* ITEMS.
From the Texas Gladiator:
Weather and Crops.—Seasonable
rains have fallen the past week
throughout Leon and adjoining
counties. Crops of cotton and
corn are coming out rapidly, and
promising better than we predicted
a few weeks ago. Fanners tell us
that though the worm has put in
an occasional appearance it does
not seem to be doing any partic-
ular damage. In fact, we hear but
little of the worm, though there
are rumors of its presence on
some plantations. The showers
during the week have refreshed
the crops and cotton looks vigor-
ous and flourishing.
The Sherman Courier says John
Campbell of that city, has bought
the Fifczhugh Mill in McKinney.
The dead body of a supposed
Texas drover was found in Cook
county, on the road from Gains-
ville to St. Joseph. It is sup-
posed that he was murdered by
his companions for his money.
The Longview New Era an-
nounces the death of Dr. F. A.
Harris, at Marshall.
The Fort Worth Standard—
one of the neatest printed papers
in the State—furnishes us the fol-
lowing item:
Broke Jail Again.—-On Monday
night, all the prisoners in the
Fort Worth jail who preferred
liberty to imprisonment, made
their escape. The prisoners were
seven in number, consisting of
William Brown, J. B. Houghsham,
Henry Watson, Isham McConnell,
Boz Molden, Sol Brag and George
Cooley. The first two and the
last two named are white men;
the others negroes. Cooley refus-
ed to avail himself of the oppor-
tunity of escape, and was found
in the prison the next morning.
We interrogated Cooley, and he
told ns that the opening in the
jail was made with pocket knives
and an iron spike; and the prison-
ers had been at work a day or
two. They made an opening in
the ceiling about twelve by ten
inches by cutting one of the oaken
planks, with which the room is
ceiled overhead. After getting
above the ceiling it was an easy
matter to knock off a part of the
roof and lower themselves to the
ground, which they did by means
of blankets tied together. Sol
Brag had been convicted of mur-
der, and was lying in jail waiting
sentence, which, but for his es-
cape, the district court would have
passed' this week. Boz Molden,
who was a particeps criminis in the
offense for which Bragg was con-
victed, though he left the jail, he
yet declined to run off, and was
found in the yard of one of our
citizens the next morning. Molden
had had an opportunity to escape
once before, but declined. That
they should have gotten out in the
way they did, without arousing
the suspicion or attracting the
attention of anybody, is very sin-
gular.
John Vaden, who is charged
with murdering a freedman in
Cass county some months ago, and
who was arrested not long since,
escaped from the jail at Linden,
Wednesday. The sheriff, Mr.
Williams, always keeps the jail
key at his house, adjoining the
jap, in. a certain place. A few
minute! before ten A. m., Mrs.
Williams heard Vaden whistling
in the jail, she then went into the
kitchen to look after dinner, and
while so engaged, some one en-
tered the house, stole the key and
et Yaden out. He had on hand-
cuffs, but was met in ashort while
after his escape by a gentleman
who knew him, and the handcuffs
were off and he had a six-shooter.
—jExchange.
The Dallas Daily Herald of the
2d inst. announces a frighfed mur.-
der at Lancaster. The origin of
the frightful occurrence was about
a water melon. Stephens, the
murdered man, accused Gil-
leland, the murderer, of taking
a melon, which he denied, where-
upon GUleland cursed him, and as
Stephens mounted his horse and
was riding home, shot him through
the brain.
Hie Waco Advance says, one of
its subscribers, who has paid a
years' subscription in advance,
has been sentenced to serve ten
years in the State Penitentiary.
We will change the address of his
paper if he goes there.
Sad Accident.—On Wednesday
of last week a grown son of Mr.
M. W. Corbell, of Hog Creek, was
running a threshing machine in
place of a regular hand; there be-
ing no platform on the master-
wheel, he slipped and his leg be-
came entangled in the cog-wheels,
crushing it badly, so much so that
amputation was necessary to save
Bite. The unfortunate was a mar-
ried man.*
The rains for the past week
have been general all over Hous-
ton county. The corn crop of the
county will be an average
one. Worms have made their ap-
pearance in the cotton. It is be-
lieved the sweet potato crop will
be the largest ever made.
A large panther was killed near
Crockett a few days sinee, by Dr.
Cook.—Trinity Advocate.
The city government of Mem-
phis fixed the whole burden of the
cost of twehpe miles of the Hicol-
son pavement on property front-
ing on the streets thus paved. The
Supreme court of Tennessee has
decided that the whole city must
pay this tax, and the money ex-
pended by these tax-payers must
be refunded with interest. The
demand for the money cannot be
gainsaid: there is no delay pos-
sible, and the cost of the pavement
must be counted in the coining
estimates of tax levies. for next
year. One Brown, the builder of
the pavement, sues the city for a
balance due him, and has re-
covered judgment in the United
States Court for something more
than half a million.
