that there is no favorable change of a decided

The reported massacre of nearly all the inhabi-
tants of a village on the Atlantic and Pacific Rail-
road, in New Mexico, by the Apaches is denied.
There was probably no village at the place desig-
j nated, no inhabitants, no Apaches. It is stoutly
| asserted, however, that any number of isolated
murders have been committed, most of the victims
being Mexicans. The latter fact is not without sug-
gestion of doubt as to the skin-color of the mur-
derers. The live Indian is not the only bad thing
[ alive in that region.
The New York Republican half-breeds are liter-
j ally booming the reform movement. The town of
Fredonia is rampant on the subject, and one <Jsy
last week actually sent delegates to a district sen-
atorial convention in favor of the re-nomination of
Senator Sessions for his manly and patriotic con-
duct in paying Bradley $2000 to abandon Conkling
I and vote for the half-breed candidates. Reform
I seems to recognize justice in rewarding knavery,
whether it succeed or not, so it be perpetuated for
the party's advancement.

Senator Voorhees is probably a little off in his
| conjecture that General Hancock will be the Demo-
cratic nominee in 1884. The Democrats will very
| likely commit a worse blunder than that, should
s jch a thing be possible, but they never repeat the
same faux pas. That stupid letter on the tariff
question retired General Hancock forever from
politics. He is magnificent where he is, and no
American citizen should desire his degradation to
a presidential candidacy managed by such poli-
. ticians as Randall and Barnum.

[Special Telegram to The News.]
HdusTON, August 23.—News from Orange to-night
says Delano's trial has been postponed until to-
iAorrow morning.
Following were the cotton receipts by the Hous-
ton and Texas Central Railroad to-day: Houston
SSG baler. New Orleans 104 bales, Galveston 441
biles. Total, 1082 bales.
Another case of smallpox was discovered to-day
by tie health officer, who had the patient, a negro,
removed to the pest-house.
Thfe ice factories have allowed a quantity of
ammonia, used in the manufacture of ice, to escape
lato Buffalo Bayou, and millions of fish have been
killed. The surface is covered with dead fish.
This evening's Age contains the following: This
morning a couple of colored men informed a re-
porter of the Age that a colored boy mamed Davie
Perry, whose father lives near Emancipation
grounds, was halted while riding Saturday af-
ternoon, and asked if he had any money.
On learning that he had none, the parties, two
whitp men, took him from his horse, gagged him
ancHrtuffed a handkerchief in his mouth, then tied
both his hands together, then made him fast
to his horse's tail. The horse was then
tnrned loose and the two wandered round
all Saturday night, the boy not being
able to call for assistance or relieve himself in any
wa£. Yesterdav morning they were found, and
the boy's mouth had been kept open for so long he
could hardly close it, and could not speak for sev-
eral hours. The boy does not know the men who
did $
ate Saturday night the new mill of Allen & Co.,
on the International road, took fire and was
entirely destroyed. We could not learn the origin
of the Are. Loss estimated at $3000. This
is the second mill in which Mr. Sam
Allen owned an interest that has recently been de-
stroyed by fire, the one before this having been out
on the Narrow-gauge road east of Houston.

on the frontier are being employed to protect land

A dispatch from Auburn, N. Y., of the 18th, to
| the Evening Telegram announces the arrival of
James Race and Charles Gatliff, the two Texas
stage robbers, in charge of a marshal and deputy
■ from Austin. They were shackled together by
I the neck and extra care was taken with them for
safe-keeping, as both are sentenced to life impris-
onment in the penitentiary, and are regarded as
more than ordinarily desperate. Race was a Con-
| federate soldier. He robbed a stage at Pegleg
Crossing, Texas, three years ago, and was caught
one year afterward and sentenced to imprisonmen4
for life. Gatliff robbed the Luling stage, Texas,
in 1878, and evaded capture until 1880. Both of the
robberies were accomplished by terrorizing the
passengers.
There is a prevailing impression in New York
that Mr. Tilden is manipulating a peace movement
! in the Democratic ranks of that State, with fair
chances of success. There are evidences of the
feuds' funeral all over the State, and strong sus-
picion prevails that the Kelly and Tilden factions,
will fraternize in a treaty Offensive and defensive,
with a fair division of the honors and the spoils.
The confusion in the Republican party has led to
this effort at fraternization among the Democrats,
and Mr. Tilden's championship of the negotiations
means something more than Democratic triumph
in the fall elections. It evidently points to the
great struggle in 1884 and a New York candidate
for the presidency. Whether Mr. Tilden desires
another race no man knOWeth, but he Im probably
the one man in America whose election to the
! presidency would import a practical guarantee of
civil service reform.-

Another chapter has been added to the bloody
record lately made at the town of Orange. The
Houston correspondent of The News furnishes this
morning particulars of the work of lynchers Sun-
day night, which are sufficient to make every good
citizen shudder *ith horror. Admitting that a
eriminal plot had been concocted and partly con-
summated, yet with all its blackness even this fur-
nishes no excuse for citizens to trample upon law
and wreak vengeance upon promiscuous and un-
tried prisoners in the custody of officers. The law,
when properly sustained by public sentiment and
executive power, will always be found adequate to
the requirements of Justice in such cases. The
very men who acted under the black flag of 4yncli
rule Sunday night were themselves as open vio-
lators of the law as were the men whose lives they
took. It is a grave condition of affairs—one that
should receive prompt ancl energetic attention at
the hands of the State authorities. Texas has suf-
fered in the past from violence and bloodshed, and
now when the brightness of progress and pros
perity beams everywhere, the unloosening of law-
less passion should be repressed alike by stern and
decisive force and the withering rebuke of public
opinion.

A .Devil who Wants Hurtling at the
Shake—Deaths—Hot Weather—Shock-
Ins Accident on the Stage.
[Special Telegram to The News.]
Sak Antonio, August 22.—This city was made
th< scene of one of the most cruel and daring out-
rages that has ever disgraced Texas. Yesterday
m«rning about seven o'clock, while Miss Dora Eller-
mtuzn, a German girl about sveenteen years of age,
was returning from mass she was assaulted by a
negro. It was under the trestle-work of the Inter-
national and Great Northern railroad crossing on
Alazan creek. In the western suburbs of the city.
The negro is one-legged, and as she was passing
hits he seized her by the arm, and forced her to
th*-chaparral near by. Here he choked her down,
she all the time resisting, but she was not able to
make much noi9e because the fiend had her by the
throat. Fearing that he could not accomplish his
purpose the black devil struck her over the head
with his crutch and knocked her senseless. She
dots not know how long she was in this condi-
tion, but coming to she kicked him away and
made her escape. She is most horribly bruised
about the head and face. One of her eyes
is Wackened and her head is badly cut. When she
g$t away from her assailant she notified Officer
Rafael Martinez, who succeeded in arresting the
negro and putting him iu jail before it was generally
known, or probably there would have been more
violence. The girl is the daughter of a German
milkman living near the Mexican Catholic ceme-
tery, and the negro is well known in this city and
abpve the average in intelligence, but bearing a
bad character.
The deaths for the week ending Saturday night
were seventeen.
/fo-day the thermometer marked 102 degrees, the
warmest day of the season.
Miss Elleu G. Purkiss, while rehearsing an ama-
teur play at Turner Hall on Saturday night last,
fell from the back part of the stage and lay insensi-
ble for eighteen hours. She sustained a severe
contusion of the brain and sprained an ankle. Her
injuries are not of a dangerous nature.

About three weeks ago, as the wife of James

several bad wounds with its claws upon her head
and neck before her husband could come to her
assistance and drive it away. The fright and
wounds together made her very weak, and she
came to Dallas to visit her brother, with the hope
of getting well; but she began to act in a strange
manner last Friday night, and continued to get
worse until some time on Saturday night, when
she died. The doctor says she had hydrophobia.

Narrow Escape—Dead Man—The Riot
at Orange—Insurance Rate Raised—A
Fiend—Happy to be Safe in Jail
[Special Telegram to The News.]
Beaumont, August 23.—A colored man, name not
known, narrowly escaped a horrible death in fall-
ing from a passing train.
The dead body of a white man named John Ma-
honmy was found in some high weeds. Attention
was attracted to it by the smell. When found it
was so much mutilated by hogs as to be wholly
unrecognizable.
Distressing reports come in from our afflicted
city, Orange. The negro Saxon surrendered and
was summarily disposed of. A private telegram
from there says the good work goes on without
benediction. Our ever vigilant sheriff, with an
efficient corps of deputies, is keeping a vigorous
lookout for any fugitives who may happen along
this way in their flight from the vengeance of the
infuriated citizens.
Some consternation was created in certain quar-
ters by the receipt of the intelligence that the pre
vailing rate of insurance. 3i4 per cent., would be
increased to 6^, in consequence of the contiguity
of so many new buildings. The rate on saw-mills,
probably the most undesirable of all risks, is only
C per cent.

Robertson County Election — Veteran
Board—School Tax and City Finances
-Camp-meeting Closed—Land Certifi-
cates—Rigging the Northern Market-
Cotton Weighers Again—Strange Dis-
appearance.
[Special Telegram to The News.]
Austin, August 22.—The secretary of State has
transmitted to Colonel William Walton, who rep-
resents the county authorities of Robertson county,
an opinion that the governor's proclamation or-
dering an election in that county for a representa-
tive was made within the time prescribed by law,
and it follows that the action of Robertson county
judge in ordering an election for the same purpose
on a different day from that named by the gover-
nor is void. The governor selected the 17th of
August.
The veteran board, engaged for some time mo st
assiduously in pas>ing upon claims for land pen-
sions, adjourned to-day until October 17 next.'
A mass meeting, not largely attended, was held
to-night at the court-house by the citizens favoring
a tax for the support of free schools in the
city. Very decided opposition to the measure
exists, on the ground that the city is already
heavily taxed, and has a larger debt than the char-
ter allows. Of late the city finances
have not been considered in the most satisfactory
condition. City warrants are outstanding to quite
a large amount and the bonds are drawing 10 per
cent, interest. Efforts to fund these bonds in 6
per cents, have not succeeded, and it is not d e-
sired by many substantial citizens to increase the
expenditures until all the m atters are more satis-
factorily arranged. Another class argue that
they are taxed heavily for public schools by the
State, and by voting the tax they condemn the State
system as inadequate, which is undemocratic.

camp-ground closed last evening, having been

It has been a mystery how long certificates have
kept up here during the last few months in view
of the fact that millions of acres have recently
been issued on certificates to Texas and
Confedate veterans and to railroads, while
the land locators have been surveying all the
time that public domain for entry of these claims
can not be found. Now it is explained that the
certificates have been sent North and East and
sold to parties ignorant o° the bankrupt condition
of the public domain, who are led to believe there
is yet open for them plenty of vacaut land of the
best quality and in some cases are credulous
enough to believe the certificates represent located
and surveyed tracts. Certificates for 640 acres,
alternates, worth $30 to $40 here, have been sold
5360 in Chicago. Also it is believed that frau Jsare
being perpetrated in getting out Confederate pen-
sions.
The Attorney General has decided that in towns
and counties where the appointment of cotton-
weighers is optionary with the Governor, and he
refuses to appoint, the city or town authorities
may aDpoint. This upsets legal proceedings at
Hempstead to enjoin the appointment of cotton-
weigher by the City Council.
Tne postoffiee will occupy the new building on
the 1st of September. The new Federal court-
roolh, which will be the most elegant in Texas, will
probably be ready by the next term.
W. E. Moody, decorative painter, a most talented
artist, disappeared a few days since, and is be-
lieved to have met some fatal accident. He was a
sober man, living happily with his wife and family,

should have voluntarily absented himself. Any

received here to-day of the killing by Indians of
Lieutenant Smith and four men of the Ninth cav-

morning, fifteen miles southwest of Lake Valley,
New Mexico. Mr. Daly was a California capitalist,
who had recently purchased for a San Francisco
syndicate all the Lake Valley mining district for

trouble to the miners, and Mr. Daly had gone to
Fort Bayard for troops. Upon his return with
assistance, the troops were attacked by Indians,
with the above-mentioned result. It could not be

Lieutenant Schaffer and several soldiers were
wounded. It is said the negro soldiers fled when
the Indians made their attack.

unable to cross the Rio Grande for some time.
The river has been unusually high. This morning,
the river having failed somewhat, an attempt was
made to cross. As the boat reached
the middle of the stream the tremendous rush of
water threatened to swamp it, and the ferrymen
cut the rope holding the boat to the cable
stretched across the river. Thus the occupants
of the boat were temporarilj- saved from a watery
grave only to be rapidly carried down the river by
the rushing torrent. The helpless rickety flatboat,
with its terror-stricken freight of live human
beings, was soon lost to view. It is feared all are
lost.

What Dr. Bliss Says.
Executive Massion, August 22—4:10 p. m.—Dr.
Bliss, at 4 p. m., said to a representative of the
Associated Pre>s that the President hV 1 had a
much more favorable afternoon than yesterday
and was doing fairly well. He continues to swal-
low nourishment in the shape of milk porr dge
iin.l koumiss without difficulty, and has, in the
opinion of the surgeons, had food enougu to-day
to sustain his strength.
He suffers no further annoyance from the secre-
tion of mucous in his throat, and i, entirely free
from pain. He asked Dr. Bliss this evening what he
thought of his condition, and the doctor replied
that if he could keep down the nourishment he
would go through all right. The Presi-
dent then asked how long it would
be if he should make favorable
progress before he could take a trip on a steamer
or go to Mentor* The doctor could nor. howev-r,
give him a definite reply. None of the President's
symptoms are worse this afternoon, and some of
them are better. His condition continues critical,
but his attendants think there is a little more room
for encouragement.

Dr. Boynton's Views.
Washington. August 22.—Dr. Boynton, Mrs. Gar-
field's physician, who is now acting as nurse to
Pre-ident Garfield, was met at the Ebbitt House
this afternoon by a representative of the Associated
Press, when the following dialogue took place:
Q.—In your opinion, doctor, what is the outlook
at presmt?
A.—I think the President is a little improved to-
day. He has taken an0 retained his nourishment
well.
Q.—What kind of nourishment are you giving
him to-day?
A.—Same as before—koumiss and milk por-
ridge.
Q.--Does the patient appearV) relish it?
A.—Oh, yes. He asked for it this morning, you
know.
Q._How do you feel about the glandular trouble
to-dav?
A.—I feel better about it to-day.
Q.—Has it grown materially liarder than it was?
A.—No. 1 do not think it quite so large as it was,
and I am quite confident should >uppuration set
iu, it will be in a much smaller degree and have a.
less serious effect than it would have had had it.
commenced to suppurate before. If it shoul i sup-
purate now probably it will not do any great in
jury.
Q.—What are the chances of preventing suppu
ration?
A.—Well, I can not answer that question. It i.-
a very uncertain complication, and one about
which no reliable predictions can be mads.
Q.—How long will it be before you can decide
whether or not buppuration is likely to occur?
A.—The glandular affection became visible on
Wednesday last. I should think by to-morrow or
on Wednesday we shall be able to determine.
Q.—Do ycu consider that the President's stom-
ach is performing its natural functions now?
A.—Yes, I think his stomach is doing very
well.
Q.—There lias been some talk about the Presi-
dent being delirious at times, J—*— un,-. —„
the facts about that ?
A.—The President has been a little delirious at
times, but it has not amounted to anything se-
rious.
Q.—To what do you attribute his delirium?
A.—It is caused by his extremely feeble condition
together with his long illness. It would be likely
to occur in any ease where the patient had become
so enfeebled as the President has.
Q._Then you do not attach any great importance
to it?
A.—No, sir, not at ail.
Q._Well, doctor, I understand that the attending
surgeons have administered with the enemas a
Eonion of opium. Is that true? If so, wouldn't it
ave a tendency to cause delirium?
A.—In all cases where enemas are administered
a small quantity of laudanum or something simi-
lar is one of the component parts. This is admin-
istered for the purpose of aiding the retention of
the enemas. It isn't sufficient to cause delirium.
Q.—What do you think of the case on the whole
to-day?
A.—I feel more encouraged than I did yesterday.
The doctor intimated, at the conclusion of the
interview, that the President was still in a very
precarious condition, and that his encouragement
was bated on the outlook at that time.

Political Executions in San Domingo.

from San Domingo, state that on the morning of
Julv 29. emissaries of the government discovered
the hiding-place of Generals Ramon Perez aud Bu-
bo Frias, and three wounded officers belonging to
the party of Genera! Alvarez. On the afternoon of
the same day all were shot in the cemetery of San
Domingo City, notwithstanding ihe intercession of
the diplomatic corps and ecclesiastical body. An
immense crowd witnessed the execution from
the fortress walls. On the second of Au-
gust the diplomatic corps again asked
in vain for the pardon of nine more of the ad-
herents of Alvarez, who had been condemned to bo
shot, and three of the number were shot on that
day. It is reported from San Cristoval that twenty-
eight men lauded with ex-President Guillermo on
tlie eastern coast of San Domingo, and that troops
were sent to capture them. The Spaniards in San
Domingo fearing insults because Guillermo had
started from Porto Rico, wish their government to
send a war steamer for their protection. The fact
is that General Luperon hates the Spaniards, while
Guillermo favors tnein.
