A HUTCHINS HOUSE COOK KILLED.
At 1 o'clock to-day two shots in the pantry
of the Hutching house startled the waiters
«i:d cooks of the hotel. A rush was made
for the spot, when it was found that Lopez
Jefferson, the second cook of the hotel, was
lying behind the dishes on the steam table,
with a bullet-hole in his breast. The bullet
had entered two inches to the left of right
nipple, leaving a bloodless spot. A young
uc-gro waiter named William Churchill evi-
dently did the shooting, with a :S2-naliber
pistol. He gave himself up and was placed
in j-ai1. Alter Jefferson was shot lie was
cm l it d into a sleeping room in the rear of
the hotel, where tie died without making
huv statement. A physician examined the
body, but could find but one shot.
Justice A. t!. Kailey arrived at the hotel
soon after the death of the negro, and im-
paneled a jury of inquest. The following
evidence was adduced from the colored em-
ployes of the hotel:
Louis Christensrtn, sworn: Was standing
in the pantry, and saw the two fussing-
Jefferson and Churchill. Jefferson called
Churchill a s—n of a b—li. lie had a pis-
tol in his hand and shot him. Churchill
asked Jefferson to take the s-nof a b—h
back. I saw him shoot twice. I then went
into the pantry and saw no more. When I
came back again he was gone.
Dave Barney, sworn: I heard two shots.
I was in the dining-room. I came out and
saw a young man with a pistol in his hand.
Only heard two shots. Saw Willie Church-
ill with a pistol in his hand. Do not know,
what caused the trouble. I have heard
Churchill say that Jefferson cursed him
some times.
Wash Strother, sworn: Did not see any of
it. Heard none of the fuss. I heard re-
ports of pistols. I helped to pick the man
up. Must have been shot behind the steam
table. I have heard them quarrel frequent-
ly. When I heard the shots tire I went in to
see. I saw Willie Churchill standing near
the dish-rack with a pistol in his hand. He
had the pistol in his right hand. Jeffer-
son was lying on the floor groaning.
1 saw nothing in Jefferson's hand. I saw-
no knife in liis hand. There are always
knives there. When I went into the room
Churchill did not speak to me. Mr.
Hyatt and myself carried him up here. Mr.
Hyatt is a white man. Churchill seemed to
be afraid of Churchill. I have heard Jeffer-
son call Churchill a bastard many a time.
J have heard Jefferson say that he intended
to whip Jefferson. I never heard liim say
that he intended to kill him. Churchill
said that he would not like to tight him with
his hands.
Henry Clay, sworn: Did not see the shoot-
ing. I heard the shots about two minutes
after I heard them quarreling behind the
steam table. I heard Lopez call him a bas-
tard son of a b—h. Churchill said to him:
"You ain't one." Jefferson then saidsome-
Ihing about Churchill's mother. Churchill
then asked him what he said. Jefferson
(hen replied: "You heard what I said."
Jefferson then said: "You had better go
nway before 1 come out and knock you
down." Churchill was waiting for liis din-
ner order. I did not see Jefferson with a
knife. When 1 returned to the
dining - room I heard a shot
iired, and ran back to see what
was the matter, f saw Jefferson lying on
the floor behind the steam table. He was
groaning, t saw Churchill then. He was
holding a pistol in his hand. He said some-
thing to the head waiter, who had told him
to put up the pistol. He told the head
waiter to let him alone and stand back, that
he had been imposed upon. Carving-knives
were lying on the steam table close to where
Jefferson stood. Churchill then pulled off
his slippers, jacket and shoes and put on
his other clothes and went out through the
dining-room. Several days ago Jefferson
and Churchill were quarreling. When I
got in the room they were fifteen or twenty
leet apart. Dan Jenkins was in the room
when the quarrel took place.
Frank Clark: I am head waiter. I heard
the report of the pistol, two shots having
been fired. I ran out and found Churchill
standing with a pistol in his hand. Jeffer-
son was lying behind the steam table, say-
ing, " O, Lord." I saw no knife in Jeffer-
son's hand. When i got in I told Churchill
to put down the pistol. He said to me,
"stand back'." I turned to look at Jeffer-
son, when Churchill broke and ran. 1 was
frightened myself. Jefferson was said to
have been very disagreeable. The waiters
said so. Churchill seemed to be a very
quiet boy. He has been here about two
months. Johnny Freeman, who works in
pantry, saw it. Jefferson was a drinking
man. Never heard any of them make
threats.
► Dan Jenkins: 1 am head cook of the
Hutchins house. 1 was in the kitchen
when the shooting took place. X could not
tell how many shots were fired. . Jefferson
and Churchill were in the steam room.
When the shots were fired 1 ran in to see
what was the matter. 1 saw Jefferson
lying on the floor behind the steam table,
saying, O Lordy! I saw no knives in Jeff-
erson's hand. Knives were- lying on a
table near by. I helped to pull liini from
behind the "steam table. 1 have not seen
Churchill since. 1 heard them quarreling
in the kitchen this morning. I did not hear
Jefferson call Churchill any names.
At the close of Dan Jenkins's testimony,
Justice Kailey concluded to adjourn the in-
quest until to-morrow (Monday) at 10
o'clock.
Lopez Jefferson was a rough-looking,
black negro. He lived on the corner of
Bagby and Walker streets, and had a wife
and six children. As he lay dead on the
bed where the coroner's jury were holding
their deliberations, Jefferson's wife, a big
black woman, stood at the bed-side, looking
into the face of the dead, big tears rolling
down her cheeks.
William Churchill, who is charged with
killing Jefferson, is a tall, light-colored
boy. about IT years old. He lives at 2-tS
Prairie street, near Chartres, with his
mother,a very prepossessing yellow woman.
During a portion of the inquest she stood at
the head of the bed where the dead cook
lay, looking- very sorrowful. She was neat-
ly dressed, and used good language while
conversing with The News correspondent.
When the two shots were fired Churchill
evidently stood about fifteen to twenty feet
away from Jefferson. A round indentation
in the wall back of the steaming dishes
shows where one of the bullets struck.
Noland & Wall, undertakers, took charge
of the body.
The general impression appears to be
that Jefferson drove Churchill to despera-
tion.
foot-pads at chaney junction.
This morning, at 1 o'clock, while John
Coffey, hand on section No. 1. on the Hous-
ton and Texas Central railway, had reached
Chaney Junction, en route to his section, he
was assaulted by two foot-pads. They
struck him with brass-knuckles and knocked
him down, cutting a big gash over liis left
eye. The watchman at the Howard oil mills,
hearing the noise, rail to Coffey's assistance.
They had robbed liim of $10 and a suit of
new clothing that he had just purchased.
Coffey was taken to the infirmary of Stewart
& Boylcs, where James Boyles stitched his
head and gave him treatment. He is out of
danger.

SHERIDAN OR THE COWBOYS,
The Lieutenant-General Thinks They Make
Poor Indian-Fighter3.
Washington, January 17.—General Sheri-
dan does not believe in the scheni3 of Con-
gressman Laird, of Nebraska, to enlist a
regiment of cowboys to fight the Apac'.ies.
11c says that the cowboys fight pretty well
when they are drunk, but he does not think
they would bo of very much service on a
long, tedious campaign on which discipline
has to be maintained. If a regiment of
frontiersmeiT who have served in the army
could be raised, as was the case in the In-
dian war in Kansas during the years of
1M.8 and 1809, they would undoubtedly be
very serviceable; but veterans of the war
are now too old to endure the hardships of
an Indian campaign, and it would be impos-
sible to enlist enough of them.
As an illustration of the bravery of the
cowboys in Indian war, General Sheridan
says while he was down in Arizona a few
weeks ago, a ranchman came m to com-
plain that a party of Apaches had attacked
his place, burned his buildings, killed two
cr three people and stampeded his cattle.
He thought the government ought to protect
him.
" How many cattle have you?" asked Gen-
eral Sheridan.
•• Ten thousand," was the reply.
" And how many cowboys?"
" Twenty-seven!"
" And you come here and complain of the
failure of the army to protect tw ;nty-seven
cowboys against five Indians? You ought
to be ashamed of yourself."
HOW PUBLIC MONEY IS WASTED.
Logan's Eagerness to Taffy th? Nejro at Pub-
lic Expense.
Washington, January 17.—Congre s
nearly every year creates several commis-
sions, the business of which has been to in-
vestigate special subjects and prepare re-
ports thereon for the Washington junk shops.
The latest commission proposed is one sug-
gested by General Logan. He wants Con-
gress to create a commission of five m ;n, to
be appointed by the president, whose duty
it shall be to inquire into and report upon
the material, industrial and intellectual
progress made by the colored people of this
country since 1805; their present status in
their respective spheres, and all other in-
i formation obtainable of that race's perma-
nent advancement since that period. Gen-
eral Logan thinks that an investigation
of this character would result in
establishing the fact of a great ad-
vancement of this race since slavery was
abolished and that it would open the way
for further legislation in its interests. This
is not the only proposition which is pend-
ing before Congress for the benefit of the
colored brother. A measure has been re-
cently introduced providing that the de-
ficiency in the Freedman's Savings bank
shall be made up to its unfortunate deposi-
tee s from the treasury of the United States.
Sixty-five per cent, of the original deposits
have been recovered. Congress will be
asked this winter to pay the other 35. Near-
ly all of the claims against this bank are
still in the hands of the orignal holders. It
can not, therefore, be regarded as a device
of the claim agents of Washington, who are
eternally coming up to Congress under the
cover o'f apparently worthy enterprises,
thinly disguising a purpose to enrich them-
selves.
WHY BIGELOW DECLINED.
His Wife Said to Have Influenced Him to De-
cline the Subtreasurership.
Washington, January 17.—An, afternoon
paper publishes an interview with a gentle-
man from New York, which purports to
give the reason why Mr. Bigelow refused to
accept the assistant treasurership in New
York. The gentleman is quoted as saying
that " when Mr. Bigelow went to the sub-
treasury and found that lie would become
the custodian of 175,000,(100 he was ap-
palled at (he idea. The immensity of the
responsibility staggered him. He discussed
the appointment with his wife, and told
her of the millions which would be con-
fided to his care. Whereupon she
most resolutely set her face against
his accepting the place, and urge!
him to decline it. She pointed
out that the anxiety would be too much for
him, and it was her pleading which induced
him to take the step he did. I know this to
be a fact. I have been given to understand
on very good authority that Mr. Bigelow,
in his letter to the president, mentioned
that his wife was opposed to his taking the
office, and it was because his wife's name
was brought into the matter that his letter
was not made public. He was sensitive of
the ridicule which he thought the Republi-
can papers would heap upon him for bein»
dominated by his wife: but I think he only
pursued the manly and right course under
the circumstances."
It is rumored that the president has of-
fered the position of sub-treasurer at New
York to E. O. Graves, superintendent of the
bureau of engraving and printing. Mr.
Graves was formerly assistant treasurer of
the United States, and is a prominent lii'lg-
wnmp.
Letter from Burnet.
To The News.
Burnet, January 11.—It is surprising how
rapidly towns spring into existence and im-
portance, as the railroads penetrate the
unoccupied domain of western Texas. In
illustration of this truth the town of Burnet
may be cited, it being the present terminus
of the Austin and Northwestern railroad
and sixty miles north of the city of Austin.
Its growth has been steady and unterrupt-
ed, uniformly expanding in all directions.
Wlien one reflects upon the immense terri-
tory west that is adjacent to Burnet, to-
gether with all of its jiroducts and re-
sources. he is irresistibly forced to the con-
clusion that the future of this town is in-
deed promising and inviting to emigrants
and capitalists.
The railroad being built by Captain Gus
Wilkie to the granite mountain is about
completed. It starts one-lialf mile south of
Burnet, and its starting point is called
Wilkieville, after its projector. Active
preparations are being made to receive,
dress and ship the granite at this point,
where the most approved and modern ma-
chinery lias been erected to facilitate the
manipulation of the huge blocks to be used
in the construction of the capitol. Two hun-
dred convicts are being- employed along
the line of the road and at the quarry; be-
side, 150 stone-cutters will obtain steady
employment at Wilkieville dressing and
preparing the rock for shipment and imme-
diate use in the capitol. In accordance with
a contract entered into by Captain Wilkie
and the citizens of Burnet, the former obli-
gated himself not to put up directly or other-
wise any supply stores, boarding-houses,
etc., but' simply pay the employes their
wages—,+8000 or *10,000 per month—giving
the business men of Burnet the benefit of
their trade. Wilkieville is on quite a boom,
there being already three hotels and sev-
eral other business houses completed, and
many others in contemplation.
Business in Burnet is very good. The
fai mers have generally paid up arrearages
and begin the new year unincumbered, but
full of hope for the coming crop. Nearly
in :o bales of cotton have been shipped from
this point, and 200,000 pounds of wool.
.i.g.s.
Few places are identified so conspicuous-
ly with the salient landmarks of English
history as Ankerwycke hall, near Windsor.
It includes in its grounds the island of Mag
na Charta. in which King John granted the
liberties of the land to his barons in 1215.
11 lias been an oft-repeated question wheth-
er the charter was signed on the island or
on the adjacent Surrey meadow of Runny-
mede, but at all events a one-time lord of
the manor decided it in favor of the former
in 183-1, and built a room to the landing
place, in which he deposited a copy of the
charter.
We believe that St. Jacobs Oil would heal
the wounds of a disappointed office-seeker.
An Heiress Declared Insane.
Pittsburgh, Pa., January 17.—Miss Annie
L. Ilirasen, of Pittsburgh, an heiress to *i> \-
000, has been declared an incurable lunatic
by a commission do lunatico appointed by
the court. By a fall received early in youth
her back and chest were affected. In 1879
Jliss 1 bins en became very ill, and accord-
ing to the testimony of her stepmother and
1 alf-brothers;,niid sisters, then commenced
lo lose her mind. Subsequently she ex-
pressed a desire to enter some religions in-
stitution. She was very morose at times,
and at other times seemed to be all right.
8he accused her stepsister of flirting with
street-car drivers, and finally she
took a violent dislike to her half-
sister, Margaret, whom she threat-
ened to kill. Soon after she began to show
symptoms of violence sho was taken to
Kirk bride's asylum, in Philadelphia, and
finally to the institution at Mount Hope,
lid., where she now is. All these steps Were
tr.ken before the young lady had bean legal-
ly adjudged insane. Her attorneys insti-
tuted proceedings in the latter part of 1881
which led to the family filing a bill in equity
asking the appointment of a commission de
lunatico inquirendo to take testimony and
decide as to her mental condition. On be-
half of the defendant, Judge Hawkins and
others testified that the young lady was
thoroughly capable of managing her own
affairs, and in fact was the possessor,of
more than ordinary intelligence. It "is
understood that steps will be taken by the
attorneys of Miss Ihmsen to have the find-
ing set aside.
