iik murdkbed HIS brother.
It. H. Cubly and R. J. Banders, deputy
sherill's of Navarro county, Tex., arrived in
Houston this morning from Monticello, Law-
rence county, Miss., to which county seat they
hod cruveyed Joseph Lofton, who was charged
with killing his brother on the 22d day of July,
18S4, twenty miles from Monticello. About
the time of the killing, the sheriff of Navarro
county, Texas, received a letter requesting him
to keep a lookout for Joseph Lofton. VVhsn
the letter arrived, Lofton, who was living with
some relatives within twenty miles of Monti
cello, got w ind of the inquiries being made for
him and left for Mexico or some of tbe border
countiis. Ho had been living in Navarro
ccunty under bis proper name, be-
lie vine', no doubt, that his family
would make no effort to capture him and give
him over to justice. He w as mistaken in this,
bis mother and brothers offering a reward of
J4C0 in connection with the governor's reward
of i300 for his capture and delivery to the
jailer of Monticello. On January 10 Lofton
ventured back to Navarro, aud wo- arrested,
handcuffed and taken to Monticello, Miss.,
end put in jail at that plae'e. Fearing that he
would be lynched by the people of the town
iird neighborhood, tbe sheriff of Lawrence
county had him hurriedly taken to Hazlehurst
ar.d closely confined. Messrs. Coulbey nnd
Sanders state that Lofton's relatives are bitter
against bim, end will do all they
cen to send him to the scaffold.
The murder was described as having baen
con mitted in a deliberate manner, Lofton ly-
ing in ambush for bis brother and shooting
br.d stabbing him. The scene of the murder
showed that a tierce struggle had taken place
between the brothers. Lofton Is feared by all
bis family. He is a man about 30 years of
ege, extremely temperate, is married and had
unlimited credit iu the community where he
lived in Mississippi. He was angered with
his brother and a tragedy was the result The
rewards were promptly paid.

THE PURIM BAIX.
Gray's opera-house rink has been secured
for the Purim ball, which is to take place
March 3. A full brass band has been engaged
and will furnish new selected music for the oc-
casion. Elaborate invitations are to be sent
out at the proper time, the committee now
awaiting designs for the same from some ot
tbe finest lithography and engraving houses in
the East. Colored electric lamps are being pre-
pared and will illuminate the entire opera-
house. The following list of gentlemen com-
prise the reception committee, names that are
sufficient to guarantee the success of the ball:
E. Raphael, D. T. Rosen field, John Reichinan,
A. Harris, Henry Fox, A. Cramer, 8. Rosen-
field, Bob*rt Cohen, L. M. Rich.
Those interested in the coming Purlin ball
say that it will be one of great brilliancy
and richness, the leading Hebrews in the city
making every effort to insure a decided suc-
cess.
THE MATCH POLO GAME.
Captain Rush, of the Houston Polo club, has
just received a letter from Samuel L. Craw-
ford, secretary of the Sinclair club, acknow-
ledging the reception of the Houston challenge,
and notifying the Houston club of its accept-
ance. The game will take place Saturday
tight, at the Opera-house rink, and will be
called at 9 o'clock sharp. This will be the se-
cond game of the series between tbe Houstons
and the Sinclairs. In the other game the Sia-
clairs proved victorious. Since that time the
Houstons have had much practice, and played
a match g»me with a picbel Galveston club.
CUT FRED GEHIUNG'S WIRE FKXCE.
Recently a new wire fence, belonging to
Fred. Getiring, on Bray's bayou, was cu^ and
toin to pieces by a party or parties, actu ited
by the spirit of revenge. These outrages took
place on two different nights. During the
last visit tbe following ncte was stuck up on
the fence in an envelope, and addressed to Mr.
Gchiing:
Mister Fred Gehring—You bettor not fix
this fence again, or we will fix—[here a blank
space was left]—ard move the fence of the
county as soon as possible.
Mr. Gehiing is a prosperous German farmer,
who lives on the south side of Bray's bayou
He but recently put up the fence an t believes
the outrage to be the work of a mail he had
lefriended a number of times. The case has
been put in the bonds of proper officers and
Houston may soon see a live fence-cutter in
one of its police courts. A little buckshot
jrcperly thi own with accuracy some flue
night would prove a greater protection than
a court of law.

An Explanation which Bi|ilalae.
i Special to Tbi Niws.I
Richmond, February 5.—Some of the im-
mediate and personal friends of Judge Burk-
hart have been trying to make him believe
that in The News reporter's account of the
proceedings of the late District Court an un-
due reflection was hurled at him. Now the
truth is that, in making said report, The News
reporter bad but one object iu view—that of
showing the amount of crime in this cjunty,
that the legislature, now in session, might
apply the needed remedy; aud lest the judge
might consider that there was a mare's nest
where there was not so much as a mole's hill,
your correspondent will state, iu order to do
no one an injustice, in his report of the pro- _
ceedings of the late special term of ths Dis- »
trict Court in this county, that:
1. Many of the cases reported a« contiuued
weie continued for service.
2 That of the, several capital cases contin-
ued only one was on application of the defend-
ant, the others by tbe State. In one capital
esse the defendant forfeited his bond. [Q jerry:
Was it a straw bond';]
3. One cose reported as continued was ap-
pt aled to tbe appellate court.
My report did not include civil business, as I
was told that there was nothing to rep art of
importance, aud, as claimed, the weather was
miserably bad—streams swollen find the
weather intensely cold and the roads almost
impassable. Now, your correspondent does
not, nor did he intend to. reflect on any official,
especially cur excellent sheriff, who
always doss bis duty, regardless ot
const quences. The reporter's only desire
wes to see a strict enforcement of the
law. And he will further state that there is
at least a dozen other cases on the docket of
said court where no arrest has been made, on
account of the parties having fled the country.
Most of these are for murder. And in
conclusion, may it not be asked, is it not au
appalling state of affairs when so many mur-
ders have been committed in the
county—so many murder cases pend-
ing—no body brought to trial aud
nobody punished ? Can not this mueh be said
without reflecting on any one; Tho while
State, the whole people are crying out that
there is a fault somewhere. Perhaps if the
legislature would pass a law compelling
tho counties to pay all of their own
costs, those cost bills would be more clossly
scrutinized and tbe law's delays would not be
so numerous. It is time something was done;
society and tbe good of tbe State deraaud it.
