Gatesville.
Gatesvilmc, August 1.—The prospect for
tt good cotton crop is very flattering. The
alliance people are storing their grain,
waiting for higher prices.
The national Cutting case has created
quite a stir among the people, and the ac>
tion of Secretary Bayard is condemned in
no easy terms. Governor Ireland has the
congratulations of the citizens for the stand
he has taken in regard to the Mexican who
was kidnaped and murdered by orders of
the Mexican rangers. This stand will add
many feathers in his cap for United States
senator. The people of Gatesville will do
their part toward teaching Mexico a lesson
if they are called upon to do So.
Goliad. "
Goliad, August 1.—About 2 o'clock this
morning Henry Gorman, colored, for some
time employed at the Fannin house as a
■cook, while sleeping on his mother's gal-
lery, in the northern part of this city, was
fired upon, about forty small shot taking
effect in his thigh and hip. His wounds are
not supposed to be very serious. No clew
to the cowardly assassin, whose intended
victim had no enemy within his knowledge,
Nacogdoches.
Nacogdoches, August 1.—The Nacogdo^
ches Amateur Dramatic club last night
played Among the Breakers to a crowded
house. The play was well rendered, and in
spite of the heat the interest in it never
fazed from first to last. The Amateurs
played as well as old stagers. The pro'
ceeds of the performance are to be devoted
to building a monument over the grave of
General Husk.
Navasota.
Navasota, August 1.—The first bale of
cotton of this year's crop was brought in
Saturday by Julius Scales (colored) and
bought by M. Levy at 10>£ cents a pound,
and shipped to L. & H. Blum, Galveston.
It weighed 496 pounds and classed mid-
dling.
The weather is extremely warm, yet there
is not much sickness.
THE BOBBEBS1 CAVE.
A Mysterious Killing in Its Neighborhood—
Brannon Downs an Unknown Man-
Further Particulars Awaited.
Special to The News.
San Antonio, August 1.—Sheriff Lewis
and his deputy, Ed. Stevens, have gone to
the Robbers' cftve to arrest Carroll Bran-
non on a charge of killing a man this
evening. The name of the dead man has
not been ascertained. The killing is re-
ported to have grown out of the arrest of T.
J. and Frank Scott on revelations made by
Brannon in regard to the murder of Frank
Harris, whose skeleton was found in the
Robbers' cave. Brannon is a bother of the
alleged mail robber, Joe Brannon,
who was killed about a month
ago while resisting arrest by
Deputy United States Marshals William
and Ed. Van Riper and Frank Scott, con-
stable. After Joe Brannon was killed Car-
roll divulged the murder of Harris, which
he charged to have been done by the Scotts,
who are now in jail. The Revelation made
by Brannon marte hitter feelings among the
friends of the Scotts against Brannon, and
the killing is attributed to this feud.
From Judge Rainard, of Kendall county,
who has just arrived from the scene of the
affray, the following statement by Brannon
was obtained: Throe men came up
to' near where Brannon was driv-
ing his cows to water in the vicinity
of his house. One of the men whistled and
Brannon looked up and saw them, and re-
cognized them as three men he had seen
the day previous in the vicinity of the
house. Their movements appeared sus-
picious, and he saw them draw their pis-
tols. He fell to the ground just as they
fired and, drawing his pistol containing
four loaded cartridges, fired twice in the
direction of the three men, who had
by this time concealed themselves in the
brush. Brannon waited, and shortly one
of them stepped out from - be-
hind a tree to fire at Bran-
non. who fired first at him. The man
jumped into the air and fell. Brannon then
Had but one load in his pistol, which he re-
served and ran to his house. He reloaded
his pistol and sent word at once to the jus-
tice of the peace and Constable Baders.
When they came up he surrendered and
went with them to the spot where a large
pool of blood was found and the tracks of
two men carrying the body were found
leading away, two hundred yards to another
spot where another pool of blood was found
and where the death struggle appeared to
have taken place. From thence the trail
was followed by the officers who up to the
time of Judge Rainard's departure, at 7
o'clock p. m., had not found the body.
Brannon will not be brought into San An-
tonio until the inquest concludes,if the body
is found. He is of the belief that it has
been thrown into the Robbers' cave, and
claims that the three men who attacked him
did so because he is one of the principal
witnesses in the Scott murder case.
Kennett L. Anderson, the mail carrier,
was arrested last evening by Deputy Mar-
shal William Van Riper on another charge
of embezzling and forging a postofflce or-
der.
LAREDO LOCALS.
The War Fever Sunning High—Going to the
Cotulla Convention—Afraid to be
Known as Americans.
Special to The Newn,
Laredo, August 1.—The excitement here
over the strained relations between the
two governments, growing out of the El
Paso and Piedras Negras affairs, is great.
The News reporter made a close count of
the citizens and found ready to volunteer
for war 200 captains, 60 colonels, 76 majors
and 1 high private. Governor Ireland's let-
ter to Secretary Bayard regarding federal
protection is going to give him a big start
in the Senatorial convention which meets in
Cotulla on.Tuesday.
A large number of the Relegates from the
lower counties arrived last night en route
to the Cotulla convention.
Several saloons refused to-day to take
Mexican silver quarters for more than 15
cents on the dollar.
To give an idea of the uneasiness of
Americans going into Mexico pending the
present excitement, several ladies who
went out to Saltillo on a visit this morning
announced themselves to be British sub-
jects.
KILLED BY A RATTLES.
A Young Lady in Arkansas Dies in Great Agony
Twelve Hours After Being Bitten.
Special to The News.
Little Rock, Ark., August 1.—The death
from the bite of a rattle snake is reported
to-day from Logan county, of Miss Ollie
Barker. The lady was a daughter of Cap-
tain E. E. Barker, a well-known citizen. It
appears that the family had taken a house
at Flat-top mountains, in which to spend
the summer. The girl was looking through
an empty room when the snake suddenly
rose from a corner and buried its fangs in
her arm. Medical aid afforded no relief,
and she died in great agony twelve hours
later.
There are no dangerous opiates or nar-
cotics in Red Star Cough Cure, 25 cents.

Funernl of J. E. Jacoby—Personal, Etc,
Special to The News.
Houston, August 1.—But few candidates
were seen on the public streets to-day. Er-
nest. Vasmer was up and about, evidently
arranging for his race against the nominee
of the convention. All the combinations
will be formed by the latter part of the
week, and the work of the campaign will
be commenced. The hustings will be live-
ly and intensely interesting, owing to the
fact that both sides propose to lug into their
speeches many things that have heretofore
only been whispered about.

The funeral of J. E. Jacoby took place to-
day from his place of residence on Capitol,
between Main and Fannin streets. The re-
mains were interred in the Hebrew ceme-
tery. They were followed to the grave by a
few friends. Deceased died yesterday
evening of congestion of the bowels, after
being sick but a few days. He was well
known in gambling circles of both Houston
and Galveston, having been conneoted with
gaming-houses in both places as a faro
dealer. But a few years ago he was en-
gaged in other pursuits. Failing to realize
paying profits, he drifted, like hundreds of
other Intelligent men, into the gambling
business. He was a native of Pensacola,
Fla., where it is said his people yet live.

CHICAGO CATTLE MARKET.
Demoralized at Times During the Week—Trade
Dragging—Sheep Scarce.
Special Correspondence of The News.
Chicago, July 30.—The cattle market this
week has again suffered a bad break, with
trade dull and dragging. Receipts have
been very heavy, and at times there was
rather a demoralized feeling among sales-
men. Business started out bad. Holders
made a great effort to sustain prices, but
buyers did not appear to have any urgent
orders in hand, and salesmen who refused
to grant the liberal concessions asked for
were allowed to keep their cattle.
Quotations soon dropped 10ffil5o on
all suitable shipping grades, but there
was no life in the movement at these
figures and a further shrinkage of 10®15c
followed. Then the market steadied itself
a little, but with the pens half filled with
good stock each night much improvement
was out of the question, and the close was
barely steady. Trices are now back at
about the lowest point touched last week,
all of Thursday's and Friday's advance
having been lost. If one class is less weak
than another it is the handy medium
weights, such as are preferred by the
dressed beef shippers. Common grades
are very slow and heavy and the gen-
eral market has not been in worse
shape at any time this month. There is a
rush of thin, grassy, light stuff, besides
many coarse, heavy brutes, which nobody
wants. These inferior light cattle are be-
iDg rushed to market partly because of lack
of grazing and water, and partly owing to
recent advices from here quoting the best
demand for little cattle. Little cattle are
all right if they have been made fat and
solid on dry feed, but the thin and grassy
kinds are simply not wanted, and are forced
to take a back seat for the better grades of
Texans. Good to prime heavy beeves, show-
ing good feeding and good breeding,
can always be sold. The highest price
of the week was reached on Monday,
when $6 10 was paid for some very supe-
rior 1525-pound cattle. The bulk of the
sales, however, were at figures below $1 80.
A good deal of stock was weighed at $1 25
Cdi 50 and not a little below $4 00, dressed-
beef men securing several droves at $3 00
(S3 75. Some fine 1300 to 1400-pound made
i'4 87, but 1200 to 1300-pound stock at about
$4 00 is quite plentiful, and many such
weight are not worth ,$4 00. Large consign-
ments of good to choice handy steers of
1200 to 1300 pounds are selling at $4 50®
4 05. At present ail shippers who can hold
their cattle back and keep them gaining
should do so. Native butchers stock
has been badly neglected, and the poorer
sorts have declined 20@25c. Thin old cows
sell as low as $1 40 in odd lots, while car-
loads go at $1 75®2 00, and the bulk of the
sales are at 4-2 50(«>3 00, lalthough some ex-
tra lots brought !)s3 50©3 60. Bulls sell main-
ly at $2 25ffi2 75, and taken all around quo-
tations are as low as at any time within a
year past.
Rangers have been moderately active, and
desirable stock has sold well, out canning
Texans are down to low water mark. Texas
cows sell to canners at .$2 00(3)2 60; Texas
steers at $2 80®3 35, and Indian cattle at
$2 75(a)4 00. A string of Idaho steers sold at
$3 90, and some Washington steers at $3 75.
Stockers and feeders are dull and neg-
lected and prices are to a great extent
nominal.
Closing quotations range as follows:
Extra choice steers $4 95ffl5 10
Choice steers 4 70®4 00
Good steers 4 25®4 63
Fair steers 3 80®4 20
Common steers 3 40ffl3 75
Choice cows 2 00®3 60
Medium cows 2 1502 85
Inferior cows 1 40®2 10
Poor to choice bulls 1 90®3 30
Texas and Indian steers 2 60®4 00
Stockers and feeders 2 25®3 85
Good to best native sheep have been
scarce and barely steady but the run of
common and inferior sorts has been ample
and they are slow at a decline of 15®20c.
Late sales range at $2 00®4 37.

Fooling With an " Unloaded Pistol "—For the
Reunion.
Special to The News.
Waco, August 1.—About 3 o'clock this
afternoon James Smith, a negro boy aged
12 years, was fooling with a big brass-
mounted dragoon pistol, heavily loaded
with duck shot, when the weapon went off.
The charge entered the boy's mouth, rang-
ing upward, ruptured the sensoriam and
all the lad's brains passed out through the
mouth. The shot were unable to penetrate
the skull, however.
There was a big crowd in attendance at a
barbecue on the reunion grounds to-day.
The city is rapidly filling up with visitors to
the reunion, and there is every indication
of a large attendance.

Mexican Items.
The Cronista says that the federal gov-
ernment has seized the grade of the Inter-
national railroad, completed from New
Laredo to Linares, and that it proposes to
turn it over to the Mexican National rail-
road folks in view of subvention money al-
ready due; that it will be utiliized to ex-
tend and complete the Matamoros and
Monterey railroad to New Laredo, and that
work on the line will be very shortly com
menced.
It is estimated that there are 6000 Italians
in this country, against 200,000 in the Ar
gentine Republic, 40,000 in Uruguay and
82,000 in Brazil. The Italians make good
citizens, being industrious and ambitious.
The minister of public works is taking
considerable interest in fish culture, and
has given a very ample concession to Mr,
Esteban Chazari for the establishment of
fish hatcheries at Chimaleapam.
The Mexican (City of Mexico) Financier
says: Of the different nationalities which
are represented in the population of this
cosmopolitan capital the larger groups are
undeniably the French, the Spanish and
the German. Each of these foreign " colo-
nies," so-called, represents a large amount
of personal property and wealth invested
in real estate. Eai * ' "

We arc crcdibly informed tlml the Frencn
colony possesses an aggregate capital
of $35,000,000, which, ir we as
sume that the number of our French resi-
dents is 2500, shows an average capital of
$14,000, indicating a most gratifying condi-
tion of affairs in that intelligent and indus-
trious colony. The local French savings
bank, established for the benefit of the em-
ployed members of the colony, is said to
have deposits to the amount of $600,000,
and, if we assume that there are 2000
French people of the employe class, the
average of accumulated earnings would be
$300 per capita. _
Bapid Postal Clerks.
To The News.
Houston, Tex., July 31, 1886 —In giving
the result of a late examination of postal
clerks in Texas, the names of two were in-
advertently omitted. As a tardy act of jus-
tice they are now given:
Mr. John Kent, of Brazoria county, made
98 80-100 per cent, in forty-five minutes, his
time being the shortest except one in the
State. Mr. S. T. Carroll, of Denton, made
09 56-100 per cent, in one hour and thirty-
three minutes, a " throw " which places him
among the most proficient of a body of
clerks whose records can not be excelled in
the United States. a. a. f.
