fighting negresses.
Last night a well-known colored woman
named Alice Wilcox engaged in a lively
fist fight on Milam street, in the Fourth
ward south, with another negress. After
displaying their pugilistic qualities for a
few minutes to an appreciative audience
they were finally escorted to the station-
house by an officer. The mayor this morn-

run over both legs.
Yesterday evening, about 0 o'clock, a
young man, named John Hudgins, while
■working on the Bam Allen place, about fif-
teen miles from the city, was run over by a
car on Mr. Allen's tramway and seriously
hurt. The wheels passed over both of the
unfortunate man's legs just above the
knees. He was brought to this city last
night at 11 o'clock and carried to the Hous-
ton infirmary. His injuries are of a dan-
gerous nature, and may require the ampu-
tation of both legs. Hudgins is a man
about 20 or 21 years old. He came from
Mobile to Texas, and has been working at
Mr. Allen's place a short time.

Magnificent Crop Prospects—Matrimonial Mat-
ters.
Special to The News. ' •
Wharton, July 1.—While crop prospects
at this time last year were perhaps more
favorable than in almost any pwrt of the
State, yet they would not bear comparison
with the prospect this year. As shown from
the diary of a prominent planter in this
county, on the 20th of June, 1885, he was
poisoning worms. At this writing, June 30,
not a cotton worm has been heard of in this
section, nor any indication of their appear-
ance. The seasons have been more pro-
pitious than for many years past both for
corn and cotton. Tne corn crop is the
heaviest that has been made since the war,
and it is predicted by many good farmers
that corn will not be worth over 25 cents per
bushel this winter.
The cotton crop is further advanced and
better matured than for the last five years
preceding, and, indeed, it is all that can be
desired. We have not had too much rain
nor too little rain, so that the plant has
neither been dwarfed in growth nor yet has
it gone too much to weed. The rains have
not been so much as to cause the young
squares to shed, and hence the stalks are
heavily boiled from bottom to top. Every-
body considers this as the jubilee year for
the farm.
Mr. Hugh Klein, a worthy young gentle-
man of this place was married yesterday to
Miss Inez Thrall, a beautiful young lady,
also of Wharton. The ceremony took place
Miss Inez Thrall, a beautiful
lady,
at the residence of Mr. Soloman Reaves,
Rev. J. B. Armstrong officiating. The
bridal party left on the 2 o'clock train for
Victoria, where they will spend the honey-
moon.
THE GATESVILLE LYNCHING.
Ten of the Persons Who Hanged Williams
Under Arrest.
Special to The News.
Gainesville, July 1 —-The jury of in-
quest rendered a verdict this morning that
the negro, Ed. Williams, came to his death
by hanging at the hands of Jack Parish,
J. A. Delap, L. H. Work, J. C. Cook, Wm.
Smith, C. L. Jackson, A. Willis, W. Case
and others. About ten of these parties
were arrested to-day. They gave bond at
once to await the action of the grand jury.
There is some feeling in the matter, and
many good citizens honestly believe the
mob acted without sufficient evidence in
hanging the negro.

BAPTISTS IN CONVENTION.
YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS AT WACO.
A Consolidation of the Two Papers—Fur-
ther Officers Elected—Baylor
University.
Special to The Nows.
Waco, July 1.—The third session of the
Texas Baptist general convention was
opened pursuant to adjournment with
prayer, by Judge A. S. Broadus, of Cooks
Point. The minutes were then read and
adopted.
Dr. Hayden, of Dallas, rose to a point of
order, and desired the convention to locate
fhe Baptist papers, now published in Dallas
and Waco, as the matter had been referred
to them. The editors of the papers were given
fifteen minutes to lay the claims of their
respective localities before the convention,
which Drs. Hayden and Link availed them-
selves of, making the most of the time al-
lotted them. A debate concerning friction
and sectional jealousy between southern
and northern Texas Baptists ensued, when
the matter was finally disposed of by a
rising vote, resulting in 174 votes for Waco
to 117 votes for Dallas—the members of
Waco declining to vote.
The report of the committee on constitu-
tion was submitted, read, discussed, modi-
fied, approved article by article, and adopt-
ed a whole. Tho document does not differ
materially from the constitution of the late
General association.
The report of General Speight, chairman
of the board of trustees of the old Waco
university, was read and adopted. The
document showing that the past session Was
the most prosperous in the co-education
history of the university, the institution
was formally turned over to the trustees of
the consolidated Baylor university.
After the adoption of the report Dr.
Luther, of Belton, took some exceptions to
the phraseology of the report relating to
co-education. He said that in the best
universities co education was not practiced
bb the report mentioned, but these schools
have an annex, which is an entirely differ-
ent thing. He desired the verbiage of the
report to be changed to correspond with the
facts.
The election of the remaining officers of
the convention being the order, Dr. Reddin
Andrews, of Waco, was elected first vice-
president; Rev. Tully Choice, of Kilgore,
second; Rev. K. Kiefer, the celebrated
German evangelist, of Brenham, third vice-
president; Rev. A. J. Holt, of Dallas, super-
intendent of missions and corresponding
secretary, and A. C. Ardry, of Dallas, trea-
surer.
Dr. Burleson, of Waco, then read the re-
port on the indorsement of Baylor uni-
versity, calling for the .$500,000 which had
betn pledged to the institution at the time
of the consolidation of the W aco and Baylor
universities. The report was adopted with-
out discussion.
An interesting feature of the proceedings
was the delivery of well-considered talks
by the colored representatives of the 40,000
colored Baptists in Texas. The speakers
were Rev. 0. E. Perpena, Prof. Ball and
Rev. A. R. Griggs. The latter's appeal to
his white brethren for aid to lift the
negroes of Texas, 400,000 strong, was an elo-
quent knitting of words.
The following board of trustees of Bay-
lor university was then chosen: B. H. Car-
roll, J. S. Dyer, J. E. Parker, W. H. Jen-
kins, M. H. Standifer, R. J. Sledge, W. B.
Denson, W. H. Prattler, J. Carroll, J. S.
Allen, A. W. Dunn, G. W. Slaughter, John
W. Bonner.
After some sparring between the friends
of Waco and Dallas, the board of trustees
of the convention was located at Waco. The
board is constituted as follows: B. H. Car-
roll, J. B. Link, B. C. Burleson, W. H. Jen-
kins, J. S. Allen, A. W. Dunn, C. Faulkner,
S. B. Humphrey, G. W. Pickett, F. M. Law,
M. V. C. Smith, J. H. Stribbling, A. E.
Clemmons, J. T. Harris, R. J. Sledge, J.
Hackett, William Wedemeyer, 8. G. Mul-
lins, A. E. Baten, W. L. Williams, G. W.
Smith, W. H. Dodson, J. M. C.
Breaker, B. W. N. Simms, T. S. Potts.
The proprietors of the two papers—the
Texas Baptist Herald, at Waco, and the
Texas Baptist, at Dallas—had heretofore
agreed to consolidate, the place of publish-
ing the combined paper being tne only
pointundecided. This was left for the de-
cision of the convention, and the close vote
this morning decides the location to be Dal-
las. Whether the present proprietors of
the papers, Drs. J. B. Link and S. A. Hay-
den, will continue to be the proprietors of
the joint organ remains for them to decide.
