appeal to the tt.iesd3 of the orphan.
The Bayland Orphans' home, sltuato in
the suburbs of Houston and chartered by
the state nearly a (juarter of a century ago.
during which time it haa been an asylum
for hundreds of destituto children, not only
from Harris and Galveston counties but
many other counties of Texas, is in urgent
need o£ help.
It has pressing: debts now demanded,
amounting to $12,000, which must bu met—
hence this appeal. It wns found absolutely
necessary for tho welfare of the in-
stitution to remove it from the old site
and secure an eligible one, easy
of access by the trustees and its friends.
This involved tho purchase of lands and the
erection of buildings. ""d to that end
money was borrowed, pledging lands owtu-d
by the association. V. 'Torts have beun made
to borrow money upon other lands owned
by the home that have failed, and we are
reluctantly compelled to come before the
public and make .-In urgent appeal for as«
alstance.
If enough can bo scoured to free tho home
from debt the trustees feol satisfied that
the revenue from lands owned and tho iu-
como from legacies can support the institu-
tion.
There aro now in the home children from
the following counties: Washington, San
Jacinto, Young, Montgomery, Trinity, Tay-
lor, Parker, Fayette, Galveston, Marion,
Travis, Brazoria, Polk, Bexar, Matagorda,
Fort Bend, Liberty and Harris, und it is
expected and believed these countios will
respond liberally.
The citizens of Houston and Galveston,
out of their bounty, purchased the lauds
Where the home was first established and
which are still owned by tho association,
but bring in no revenue.
This is true of other lands held, but which
can rot be utilized without too great sacri-
fice for some time to come.
We leave the cause of tho TJayland
Orphans'home to tho liberality of those
who lave never yet fulled in any emergency.
If to build up tha city's prosperity; it to en-
tertain associations wo delighted to honor;
if to banquet distinguished and cordially
welcomed guests, Houston (and Galveston)
contributed thousands with a lavish hand,
how much may wa not expect from her geu-
erous hearted people for tho child of the
widow and the fatherless?
The trustees have a solemn charge in pro-
viding for tho little immortals and pledge
themselves that it be faithfully executed.
In behalf of the board of trustees,

BITTEN BY A BLOODHOUND.
Horrible Story of n Mad Hoe's Attack on a
Long Inland I.inly.
New York, .June 14.- [Special]—A wom-
an frightfully mangled by a huge rabid
bloodhound Ue3 nt the point of death ou
Long Island, a short distance from Jamaica.
The infuriated beast was shot, and all In
the power of man will be done to save tho
victim's life. Mr, Frank Stone, sou of the
injured woman, called on Dr. Gibier of the
Pnsteur institute, yesterday afternoon.
He was very much excited. He carried a
package wrapped up in a newspaper. It
was the bead of the beast. "My mother has
been almost killed,'' he began, "by a mad
dog, which wo havo owned for the past-
year. He was a watchdog, and until Wed ties
day always seemed friendly enough to the
members of the family.
During tho recout hot spe'l he ssemsd
sick and Wednesday morning he laid pant-
ing in tho stable. My mother, noticing
him, filled a pan of water and placed it in
front of where he was stretched out on the
floor. The dog whined anil then began
snapping at the water. The next moment
ho tiprang uoon my mother, sinking his
teeth deep into her shoulder. She railed
for help. Tho brute released his hold, but
again sprang upon her, that time catching
her in his frothing jaws. From exhaustion
and fright my mother sank to the ground,
the dog still clinging to her. Ho dropped
his hoid and bit her again and again until
a neighbor, hearing her cries, runhed to her
assistance and with a club pounded tho
doe."
My mother was carried in the house and
a physician summoned. Ho cruterized the
wouuds and tried to stop tho flow of blood
but was only partially successful.
•'Bring your mother to me," exclaimed
Dr. Gibier, thoroughly wo.'ked up by tho
young man's story. The young man hur
riod away, leaving the dog's head on tho
doctor's desk. Iio said ho was afraid his
mother would not live to get there. As
soon .ib ho was gone the doctor made a close
examination of the dog's head.
When a reporter called the docto:' invited
him to view the hideous object. The head
showed the brute to be ono of the larjest
of tho kind. Tho mouth was open half an
inch or mora, Bhowing tho teeth and a
tongue half bitten oir. The eyes were open,
and though life had gono it looked hideous.
THE MURDERER EYRAUD.
Every Precaution Holnif Taken to Prevent
His Kscapp.
Havana, June 13.—[Spccial]—Eyraud's
new plan appears to ba to act cheerful and
so throw the prison officials off their guards.
He thinks there will be a long delay before
ho is taken to Franco, and believes he could
escape if he had half a chance by feigning
sickness in the hope of being taken to the
hospital.
A repo/t of Eyraud's words and actions is
made to tho detectives daily, who orde:- that
there shall be no relaxation of the vigilance
exercised with regard to him. It has been
arranged that on shipboard he will lie con-
fined in a cage usod for mutineers. Ho will
not be allowed to smoke. About fifry pas-
sengers are going on tho Lafayette. Eyraml
says that the officers who arrested him were
unaware cf his identity.
It is believed that he will toll his story on
the trip to France.
GROUNDLESS FEARS.
No War Anticipated from the Troublesome
Cheyenne*.
Helena. Mont., June 14. — Governor
Toole is in constant communication with
his staff officers sent to investigate the hos-
tile acts or threats of the Cnej'enue Indians.
Up to date no advices have come to the
governor from bis representatives leading
him to apprehend any serious trouble.
If the distant settlers have baon worked
into a scare the Cheyennes have, by the
movement of troops, had a worse fright. No
Indians have taken tho warpath and no
lives havo been sacrificed. Cattle havebeen
killed, and that is all.
Ono of Custer county's largest stock
growers, Captain Hamon, says: "No, there
is nothing of dauger in the situation, and
the general opinion is that if kept upon
their reservation and properly rationed the
Cheyennes will remain wholly peaceable
and givo no more causa for alarm than the
Flatheads and other tribes.

STILL HELD IN THE TOILS
THE TEXARKANA TRAIN ROBBERSNOT
ALLOWED TO 3EE ANYONE.
Knmors That One of tho Party Will Turn
ISlfite'A Evidence In Order to Free 5Iim-
8olf— Circiimntnnccft That Go to
Fix the Crime on Them.
Thtarkana, Ark., June 14,—Now devel-
opments in the Monday night's train rob-
bery aro coming out almost hourly. John
Williams and Napoleon McDaniels, the
parties noted in last night's dispatches, aro
still in jail. A rumor gained currency last
night that Williams bad been informed of
the ovidence ugatnat him, and that after
hearing it in detail be hud broken down and
wept like a child and confessed everything.
A reporter called at the jail this morniug,
but failed to obtain either a confirmation or
denial of this story.
Tho orders of the sheriff aro remarkably
strict, and are to the effect that nobody
shall be allowed to soo or converse with the
prisoner* Kvou their lawyer,-R D. Hur-
rell, was refused admittance by tho jailer
this morning. Be made the atmosphere
blue iu consequonce for awhile, and threat-
ened to suo out a writ of habeas corpus, out
this did not movotho jailer, who sworo by
all tho gods and little fishes that he would
obey orders even if it broke tho owuers.
Later in tho day, however, the anxious
attorney was accorded an interview with
Williams and McDanlel. Just what p'issed
between them is of course not known, but
it is had on good authority that a statement
was written out by Lawyer Harrell and
signed by Williams. Report has it that
Williams is to turn state's evidence and
that tho writing in question is a full and
complete confession of the whole affair.
Both Williams and McDaniels, when seen
lu their coll by tho reporter, seemed quite
cheerful and cool. Williams was especially
buoyant and received the reporter with a
smile aud handshake, and pleasantly allud-
ed to tho fact that the reporter uad been the
butt end of a considerable joke some five
years ago.
John Hrowlov was arrested about 10
o'clock and locked up, charged with being
one of the party to the robbery. He is said
to havo been a deputy sheriff at T>\ axa-
hachie, Ellis county, and later a railroad
employe on the Cotton Belt railway. Re-
cently ho has been engaged, when at work
at all, as a carpenter. He wns seen
at a late hour Monday evening in company
with McDaniel and Williams near the
scene of the robbery and other circum-
stances point to him as a member of tho
gang, i'ho general detective agent of tho
Southern Express company, Hums, Is hero
looking after tho company's interest. He
accorded the reportorau oxtended interview
this morning. Mr. Burns says ho has no
doubt of the guilt of Williams, McDaniel
and tho wounded man, Ratcliffe, but is
equally certain that Parish Howard, the
first man arrested, is innocent. Burns'
theory is that the robbery was planned aud
executed in haste.
About 3 o'clock Monday aftornoon be-
tween flO.OOO and $13,000 in silver were
drawn'from one of the local banks by the
express company and sent to the depot.
Williams together with McDaniels and
Ratcliffe were seen near tho scene of the
robbery lute Monday evening, and Burns
thinks thej- agreed to take chanc.s on the
$10,000 going south, whon in truth it went
tha other way.
After going through the express car on
the night of the robbery the bandits becama
separated, and while the conductor, engi-
neer and messenger were sitting on the log
where they had been ordered two parties of
the road agents approached from opposite
directions. Ono of theso carried a pistol in
his hand, seeing which the othor par^y, evi-
dently thinking him a trainman armed for
resistance, opened fire on him. Ho shout-
ed: "What do you mean, boys? You havo
shot me," and threw his hands upon his
abdomen.
One of tho other party said, "I am sorry
wo aiado a mistake,"andproceeded to assist
the wounded man away. Detective Burns
went out to the scene yesterday and cares
fully looked over tho ground. He cut a
45-caliber ball from a tree standing about
forty yards from the log on which the train
men sat. This is thought to be the ball
which pierced tho hand and Jear of the
messenger. A son of J. W. Green-
wood, «substantial farmer livinghalf a mile
from Williams' farm, on which Ratcliffe
lives, says that ho saw Williams, Rat-
cliffe and McDaniels in close and earnest
conversation half a mile from tho scene of
the robbery late Monday evening. Green-
wood gives Ratcliffe a very hard name. He
says he has not worked for years further
than cultivating each year a small corn
patch. All of the accused were seen at a
late hour this afternoon, and each protest-
ed innocence most positively. Williams
especially emphasized his remarks and
laughed at the report of his reported break-
ing down last night. Ho claims that he
can easily prove an alibi.
McDaniels remains cool and has little to
say. Williams admitted to the reporter
that he was in the bank Mondny whon the
money was taken out by the express com-
pany, and also that he went out to Rat-
cliffe's place late in the day. Public feeling
is strong in the case.
While the standing of both Williams and
McDaniels for honesty has always been
above reproach, the well known character
of the sheriff, acting upon the principle of
"be sure you are ruht and then go ahead,"
lends great strength to the case against the
prisoners. _
SLICK SWINDLERS.
A Couple of AlloROd Feather Bod Reno-
vators Perforin a Clever Robbery.
MexiA, Tex., Juno 14.—A most remark-
able aud rather amusing caso of swindling
developed here this afternoon. Two men
passing themselves off as feathor bod reno-
vators gathered together forty-seven feather
befls and a number of pillows from people
in and around the city to be renovated.
Yesterday these parties brought to the
depot 5^0 pounds of feathers and
shipped thein to Nashville, Tenn.,
taking the bill of lading to a local bank and
drew $150 on the sume. They are thought
to have taken tho north bound early morn-
ing train. The feather beds were found
this afternoon in a house which they rented
with about all the fea'hers taken out of
every bed. To say that there are some mad
housewives iu tills vicinity does not half
express it. Stealing feathers is something
now in swindling schemes to this com-
munity.
Cattle Bates Kestored.
Kansas Cnr, Mo., June 14.-The Bur-
lington announced yesterday that it would
make a cattle rate from here to Chicago at
IS cents. When applied locally the rate has
boen steady at 12X cents. Since that figure
was set by the Alton several weeks ago tho
other lines have announced that they will
restore rates with tho Burlington.
McGaw'a Death.
LoNGVIEW, Tex., Juno 14.—The brake-
man Thomas MoGaw, who was shot by a
barkeeper yesterday afternoon, died this
morning. The bullet was not extracted
until to-day, when an autopsy was held.
His brother could not bo found at the ad-
dress given by tho Southern Pacific road at
San Antonio.
