NEW MAP.
The new map of Harris county, recently
drawn by Professor W. H. Streeruwitz, for
the use of the Cotton exchange and board
of trade, has been placed in a conspicuous
position in the exchange building. It is a
fine piece of engineering work, and is pro-
nounced by those who have examined it to
toe exceptionally accurate.
BRINGING FORTH FRUIT.
The evangelical meetings now being con-
ducted in Market hall by Messrs. Sayford
and Towner, the revivalists, have been
firoductive of much good. The attendance
or the past week has been very large, and
the audiences seem to increase at each suc-
ceeding meeting. Last night, when Mr.
Sayford requested those who wished to join
him in a spiritual conversation to retire to
Lyceum hall, it was discovered that the
room was too small to accommodate those
who accepted his invitation, and the con-
gregation in Market hall was dismissed in
order to accommodate them. The eminent
divines will remain here for another week.

ATTACKED BY A DOG.
Mr. J. F. Kessler, of Houston avenue,
met with quite a misfortune yesterday.
While driving along Franklin street, near
the bridge, his horse was attacked by a
large, black dog and bitten severely in the
nose. The horse became so unmanageable
as to break the wagon-bed and its contents.
This practice of permitting savage dogs to
run at larg# on the streets is a nuisance
which it would be well for the proper of-
ficers to look into.
PROPERTY LEVIED UPON.
By virtue of an attachment issued from
the District Court of Galveston county, in
favor of W. O. Ellis & Co. against the
Houston Flour Mills company. Deputy
Sheriff Ed. Dupree last night, at 12 o'clock,
levied upon lots 5, 6 and 7, in fractional
block G, on the north side of Buffalo bayou.
The claim of Messrs. Ellis & Co. amounts
to 82.
Another attachment was also run against
the same property subject to the one al-
luded to in favor of H. Henke for over $000.

The meeting of Independents at Bell's
liall, last night, was attended by a crowd of
about SCO.
The selection of Henry C. H0U60 by the
Democratic executive committee to fill the
vacancy on the aldermanio ticked in the
Fourth' ward south, gives universal satis-
faction. It is thought that he will have no
opposition. Mr. House is a young man of
energy and ability, and will make an excel-
lent councilman.
There was a political meeting in the Fifth
ward to night, at which great enthusiasm
■was manifested for Mr. Smith, the Demo-
cratic nominee for mayor.
Although the campaign has been quite hot
for several weeks past, no altercations in
regard to it have yet taken place. Both
sides are working hard.
Dr. Burroughs's speech last night, in
front of Ollivier's, in the Fifth ward, at-
tracted a large crowd. Dr. Burroughs is a
strong man and will surprise some folks at
the strength he is going to develop.

THE LANE-NOKMAN KILLING.
Spreading More Light on the Unfortunate
Afiair.
To The News.
Ban Gabriel, March 5.- In your reporter's
account of the double tragedy at this place
February 27, published in your issue of the
28th ult., we notice some errors, which it
may be well to correct by statements of
eye witnesses of the occurrence.
Constables Norman and Stevens and a
deputy sheriff arrived at this place about 9
o'clock a. m., and a short time afterward
Mr. Norman was engaged in general con-
versation outside of Thomas's store with
two or three gentlemen,'while the other two
officers were inside the store. Very soon
W. W. Lane, a resident of the neighbor-
hood, came riding along the road, slowly,
asifhewere riding by. Norman, without
calling his associates, walked out and
hailed liim with the ordinary civilities of
persons meeting each other. No words of
arrest were distinctly heard nor hostile
motions seen by those near by, but the re-
port of two pistols rang out, not quite sim-
ultaneously, but almost blended together,
and Mr. Lane fell from his horse, dead.
Mr. Norman staggered backward and
sank upon the ground, supporting himself
on his elbow, and still keeping his grasp
upon his pistol. He exclaimed: "He has
killed me: he has shot me in the breast."
He was assured by one of the gentlemen
present, and who had immediately gone to
Lis assistance, that he had killed Lane,
when be called to the bystanders to take his
pistol. He was carried'into the store, where
be soon afterward expired, having spoken
no other words.
It was learned that the officers had a ca-
pias from Falls county for the arrest of
Waller Lane, as your report states. The
name of the person killed was YV. Walker
Lane, and not Walter, and it is said by
those who are in a position to know the
truth, that he could not have committed the
offense charged, because at the time it was
alleged the oftense was committed this
Wnlker Lane was at his home, aud tied here
by great floods in the streams between the
two localities.
As to Lane being a "hard citizen," we
can not admit that this is his character. He
was a young man engaged in farming aud
stock'raising, and lived a quiet, life' with
his wife and young family, upon his father's
farm. The morning of the " tragedy " he
had been looking up stock in the river bot-
tom near by, and it was his custom to carry
his six-shooter while upon the range. He
was a positive, determined man, but during
his four years residence here he has never
had a difficulty of any kind, and it is not
thought that lie knew the officers were here
when ke approached the store, or that he
anticipated any trouble of any kind at that
time.
It has been ascertained that that "curse
to any community,"[the " Tale-Bearer,"had
been busy stirring up strife between the
two men which had made them both deter-
mined, if not bitter, toward each other. It
is altogether a sad affair, and has been a
" \ P
able community. Both Norman and Lane
great shock to our generally quiet, peace-
have worthy wives and young children,who
are thus in a moment made widows and. or-
phans.
While all praise is due the memory of a
brave, fearless officer, and profound sym-
pathy is extended to his ailiicted family, let
us do justice to the other party, who by the
wise, beneficent provisions of the law aud
of humanity, is "presumed innocent until
his guilt is proved; and his innocent family
is entitled to a moiety of remembrance.

MR. SULLIVAN'S OTHER TRAITS.
A Kind-hearted Slugger when Not Occupied
with Matters ol the Ring.
Boston Correspondence New York Sun.
Boston, March 9.—Admitting his vices,
Mr. Sullivan is not a bad fellow at heart,
that organ being large in proportion to his
body. There are many good points about
him which, although they are commonly
known to his friends and acquaintances, not
being sensational,no reporter thinks them of
enough value to write up. Such is the way
of the world, aud Mr. Sullivan has no right
to complain any more than thousands of
better men.
But, as a matter of fact, John L. Sullivan
has given away more money in charity, in
proportion to his means, than a dozen Van-
derbilts or Astors or Goulds. Four or five
years ago there was a young man living iu
the Highlands in this city who contracted
consumption, and, being poor, the young
men of the neighborhood got up a ball for
his benefit, the price of tickets being set at
$1 each. Before the ball came off Mr. Sulli-
van returned to Boston after one of his
s-porring tours, and, hearing of the project
in favor of the sick young man, wnorn he
had known from boyhood, he gave it his
hearty approval, did all he could to make it
a success, and on the night appointed went
to the ball, and, handing five twenty-dollar
gold pieces to the ticket-taker, explained in
his deep, gruff voice," That's for my ticket."
A few months ago he left his saloon, on
■Washington street, in company with som%
friends, and, while walking down Kneelana
street, saw an old woman crying beside a
heap of furniture piled up on the sidewalk.
The champion stopped and inquired other,
as tenderly as he could, what the trouble
was, nnd, being informed that she was
being ejected from her humble home for
non-payment of four weeks rent, amount-
ing to $10. he pulled out a roll of bills, and,
going with her to the landlord, he not only
settled for the arrears, but paid a months'
rent in advance and gave the woman $29.
And this to an entire stranger,whom he had
never seen or spoken to before. How many
of the men who have gained, a reputation for
philanthropy would have acted as liberally?
These are only two instances .of his open-
sporting .
proverbial. Few of tlieni fail to appeal to
him when in distress, and never in vain.
Everybody knows of his, kindness to tlie
late Joe Goss, and there are hundreds of
others who are equally indebted to him.
But it is not in single cases, or to one class
alone, that John L. Sullivan gives. The
Little Sisters of theP oor aud other charita-
ble institutions have 110 more generous
patron than he. If John is in tlie store
when the sisters make their weekly call he
never thinks of giving less than a bill, and
the bill is more likely to be a five or a ten,
or even a twenty, than a one or a two. In
fact, he gives to everybody who asks him,
and gives lavishly.
" de ', ' '
_ imp
in his cups lie is as playful as a kitten, or
Indeeed, his generous nature subjects
him to a good (teal of imposition. When
rather as a lion would be if it had a|kitten's
spiiits, for he is so strong that in his play
he is liable to hurt one unintentionally.
But if he hurts anybody or does any dam-
age he is always willing to make reparation
by a generous application of the panacea,
money. I have seen a man wearing a hat
which cost about $3 when it was new—which
must have been all of a year before the
time iu question—deliberately place himself
in Sullivan's way when he was in one of his
playful moods, to let him knock the hat
down over his head and break it, and when
the champion had done so this man com-
plained that it was his only hat. and that
lie could not afford to buy another. And,
as was doubtless expected, this elicited
from Sullivan the tender of a $5 bill, with
the remark: "Here, d—n you, go buy a
hat." And the fellow wont off happy, hav-
ing got a new hat in exchange for an old
one and $2 to boot, a very clever trick.
