tended with a view of attaining theeuds
wherein Germany has never opposed Rus-

poses which will admit of Germany's re-
maining at pence for any length of time, is
a question which, doubtless, Rassia has

BUDGET FROM WAOO.
A Contested Mistake in the Indictment of
James M. Drake for Murder-Re-
cording an Old Will.
Brownsville, Tex., December 0.—The
ChronUta of Matamoros of to day publishes
an interview with 8r. Juan Garcia Barrera
relative to his abduction. Condensed, the
account is as follows: On August 31 he had
left his ranch, the San Pedro, in Starr coun-
ty, Tex., en route to Mier. At S o'clock
a. m., when at a place called La Rotatnosa,
three miles from his ranch, he Baw near a
thicket four men whom he took for rangers.
He went 011 and when six paces from them
they covered him with arms,and taking him
Into a thicket put a sentry at his back and
informed him'that in a few minutes he was to
be killed. The bandits took the food he had
provided for the road and breakfasted
heartily, offering him some, but he could
not eat. The captain ot the bandits told
him that he was sorry that he had
captured him, as they had very
bad information of him and they
must kill him. He then told
tee captain thai in his valise was $200 in
American money, which they found and
took. The party remained, in the thicket
until dark, when they took a pair of drawers
from the valise and covered bis face with
ibem. He thought they were going to shoot
him, and told tho captain they need not
b&cdage bis eyes. He was bade to be quiet,
mounted on his horse with the saddle or one
of the paity, and they started off. Two
hours later they arrived at the Encinal, and
with his face still bound up he wag seated
on the ground and kept until dawn, when
the bandage was removed from his face.
He aeked for the captain, but was told that
that individual was asleep and could not be
disturbed. One of the band, Pancho Flores,
who was killed in Nuevo Leon, wanted him
killed, but Gutierrez wanted to save his
life. 1'he men quarreled and nearly fought
over the question. Tho next day the cap-
tain asked blm what he would give for bH
life. He rffered the $200 they had and $500
more. Tee captain aeked $;1001. B irrerj
told him .he had no such sum of money and
could not raise it. Tho captain then re-
duced the Bum flBOO. Barrera told him that
within a week's time he could raise if.
After some haggling It was thus fixed. Hi
then wrote his son telliug him that he h»d
been captured by unknown parties and that
he was sent to&Iacrio Ramirez; to pay with-
out question hie, Barrer&V, drafi of $1500.
The band its made him change the dato on
which he was captured- to the 1st, and tha
place to the Torrelia, near tho Seahuaada,
over fifry miles from where he was actually
taken. He was ia^en back to near his
ranch, and one of the bandit!, took it iu and
delivered it to his son. He was ttiei taken
to this Gonzalo, wherejthey stopped to sup.
The night and the next day they passed in
a thicket near Santa Cruz. Next they west
to ite 1'atitos, where they stayed nine days
in a thicket. On the expiration of the
week's time given to have the money sent,
they gave him another week, telling him
that it at the end of that time tha money
v as not ready his body would be seat to hU
f<: rally. Xboy were offered stock or a draft,
bat lold Ramirez, who was to give tUeia
the money, tijat they wore not thatfojlijh,
end tlat they icu3t have the money at t'aa
giuila on the bank of the Klo Grande at the
tnd of the nine days. The bsmdits told
H&rrera that they were pursued and that
tley must cross to Mexico, which they did
rear tho Killareals ranch at a pla'ie called
Cienega, near San Miguel de Caoaargi.
Three ot the bandits crossed the viveraad
the other with two more that h*d joined
tiem stopped on the Texas side. They
psEsed six days in anenega. The money
had been sent, but he wa3 kept to sieu a
receipt which read that the $1500 was given
to save his life and that of his sons and
family, and that the party to whom it was
given was never to be revealed on pain of
death to all. On the 17th, the mouey hav-
ing been paid on the American bank ot the
liver at the grulla, Mariano Agaizagoyta
wanted to have Barrera killed anyway.
On the 10th, after stgnlog a document never
to rtveal the identity o£ the bandits, ue was.
ti-ten toward R?ynosa at the Frietas, the
bHidage was t«ken from his eyes, and at
uipht, in froit of Reyuosa Viejo, he was
tui Et-ci loose. He went to the house of Doa
Rafael Gonzales, where he passed t'ao
i.iebt, Don Joan is 52 years of age and a
prcmineEt stockman and Mason. He was
treated with great cruelty, being obliged to
fat the bones of the badly cooked meat the
betdits had. He wa3 taken blindfolded
through the thicket, bis clothes torn to frag-
ments, wet with rains and drying on hl3
j erfoc, subject to the constant insults of
the bandits who th earned his life. The
n.en are now in the jail of the city.

PALESTINE.
8eitenc«d to Eighteen Months' Imprisonment
for Bigamy—The Injured Wife.
Palestine, Tex , December 6.—The jury
in the case of Detective W. H. Springfield,
chaiged with bigamy, by marrying Alice E.
Boswell in Bouihbury, Conn., In 1875, and a
lady in this city early last spring, after de-
liberating ten hours, returned a verdict of
guilty and assessed the punishment at eight-
een months' imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary. It was evidently a compromise ver-
dict, because of the one weak point in the
state's proof, which failed to show, except
circumstantially, that the first wife wa3
livirg when the second marriage took
place. Since Springfield has been incar-
cerated no word or sign has been heard
irora the wronged mother of Springfield's
five children, despite the utmost diligence
used by the state to hear from ber by word
cr letter. When tho verdiot of the jury
was read Springfield heard it with outward
coolness, aiid on a brief conference with
his council immediately waived all rights
ant! asked to be sentenced, which was doaa
by Judge Williams.
A Fet Blizzard.
Aqcilla, Tex., December 0.—Yesterday
a buzzard alighted in the dooryard of Mr.
W.J. Garrett, living near this place, and re
meined several hours with the fowls in tue
sard. It had a small bell attached to a col-
lar around its neck, and seemed to be per-
fectly contented and rot la the least afraid.
The supposition is that it has been raise! a
pet, but has left its owner and gone oa a
tour of inspection over Texas. Hi-. Garrett
would like to correspond with the owners
of th6 bird and ascertain how iar it iJ Irom

Waco, Tex,, December 0.—In the state of
Texas vs. James M. Drake the case has pro-
gressed to testimony for the defense, and
after two witnesses to-morrow argument
will be begun. A perhaps fatal discrepancy
occurs in the Indictment, which indicates
that defendant August 27 shot and killed T.
8. GuIbd, while the testimony shows th»t
it was 8.1.. Gunn who was shot and killed.
It is fiaid that the lawyers who are counsel
for the defense will ask the court to
charge the jury to find the defend-
ant not guilty, as the indictment
charges him with killing T. G. Galnn, and
the testimony shows that he did kill S-1"
Gunn. In the event of the court refusing
to eo charge and this Jury brings in a ver-
dict of guilty, the point will be the basis
first of a motion for a new trial, and thU
being refused It will ba recited In defend-
ant's appeal. If the case is reversed an I
remanded the counsel for the defense will
meet the next arraignment with pleading
former jeopardy.

Feme Practical Suggestions for the Considera-
tion of Galveston Capitalists.
To The News.
Stc ck Yards, Galveston, Tex., Decem-
ber (J—As It appears that Houston has lost
fcergrip on the refrigerator, what is tho
matter with Galveston taking it up and
fighting it to a finish? I don't wish to be
understood as endeavoring to throw any
mud cn Houston. She Is a nice city and
would have been well enough adapted for
the enterprise. Besides she has a
fine enterprising sot of business men,
who camo up fully to their part
of the contract in subscribing funds
and lands for tbe refrigerator. Bat right
there is where the mistake was, for, lusteaii
of part, they should have taken the whole
thlrg, ata bagged all tho game themselves.
They made the mistake of dependiag on
their neighbors to cut their hay for them,and
the hay wasn't cut. Now let Galveston profit
by this lesson; takehold and do the whole
thlrg herself, and not wait for the support
of the stockmen, that Is sure to come wnen
vcu are ready for their cattle. They will
be sellers, and the refrigerator coinpaay
will be buyers. Aud there wilt bo
more Independence about it t!na it
buyers and sellers wora mis9d up.
Now, while Houston has many advantages,
Galveston has more, or, one more, whicu is
a big advantage and groat saving ia ttmo
and money. Tfiis advantage consists iu
nothavlng to transport her meats in barges,
to bo unloaded from the barges, and re-
loaded again Iu tho ship that is to ctrry it
to its destination. She oaa build her
slanghter-honse and cooling rooms right
along tho water front, so as to load vessels
right out of her oooiing-rooms, No
expense for barges or any other
transportation. I wou'd suggest a? a fa-
vorable point for the location of the
slaughter house some point oa the bay
tbfxe west of Heideahelmer's oil mills, ana
ie'.^een the oii mills and the stock-yards.
Ibis for several reasons: 1. 8o as to have
the slaughter house far enough from the
tily not to contaminate the atmosphere and
be tffeneive to the citizens on that account.
2. On account of railroad facilities, room
for v-ens, lots, etc. 3. Bo as to have the
stock removed far enough from all stir
and bustle to insure paace and quiet, whlc i
Is a very important matter, as 3took in that
condition kill and dress white ar.d firm, bat
If harassed sand worried they kill dirk and
their flesh is black and flabby, depreciating
lie value and rendering it much easiar to
spoil, tbe heated blood lilling up the tissues
of the flesh, choking ventilation and soon
becoming putrid. Some will say Galveston
has no grass Eo hold cattle on, but that
don't amonnt to a pinch of moonshine.
They don't require to be held, Let them
come in whon they are needed. H*ve
agents scattered over the rango to
buy up stock, and let a certain agent havo
a certain number of cattle to arrive on a
certain day. All this can be arranged to
work satisfactorily. Years ago, when cat
tie shipments were made by steamer to
New Orleans and Havaua from Galveston,
cattle were as prompt to arrive on time aa
the steamers were. A3 a feeding point
Galveston has no superior. It has been
fully demonstrated that cattle fattoaed oa
cotton seed hulls and cotton seed meU are
equal to the best corn-fed cattle. Thisfead
is much cheaper than any other,
and Galveston has it in tho great-
est abandance. So what more is
necessary in the way of facilities
and natural advantages? Nothing, a'oso
luteiy nothing in that line. The only things
necessary are push, vim, energy, braias,
courage and capital. The erection of a re-
frigerator and cannery at this place Insures
the concentration of the stock and farming
interests of Texas at this point. These two
interests constitute the life-blood of cities.
Are they worth striving for? It is f or you to
decide, citizens of Galveston. It will greatly
increase your population, give employment
to labor,build np the country adjacent and
fill it with a thrifty class of farmers, feed-
ers, gardenerp, etc., allof which will further
contribute to Galveston's prosperity.
Either Galveston or Houston will eventually
get the refrigerator and cannery. Houston
is well adapted for it, but Galveston h*s
the advantage, in being right at tiie ship-
ping. Will she use that advantage? "lha
longest pole gets the most persimmons '•
and getting to the pole first is another Dig
advantage. "Don't depend upou your
neighbors; cut your own hay, and It will
be cut sure." K. T. WiNPnEB.

XhcEeverml of the land Commissioner's De-
cision Creates Home Commotion.
TkXAF.KANA, Ark., December U.-Tele-
grams hfive been received here from Wash-
ington, D. C , relative to tbe Nix Cayoesuit,
one of the most important land litigations
in the history of southwestern Arkansas.
The land in dispute lies along ths Iron
Mountain road, on the east, inside the city
limits, and the real value will flgara up
several hnndred thousand dollars, as there
are 100 acreB of the land and it is among
the most desirable residence property
about the citv. Besides the claims of Nix
Cayce, the Iron Mountain railroad is also a
litigant. Two or threa montiis
dlcpatches from Washington announced
all litigation defeated under a decision
of Land Commissioner Sparks, and th vt tho
land web open to settlement under the
homestead laws of the United States. Im-
mediately tents and box cabins were erect-
ed upon the land bv persons claltatag to bo
actual settlers, and a great many would-be
squatters were left out ill the cold. The
dispatch referred to, however, in the tirst
el;,cso of this message recites that the sec
retary of the Interior hr.8 reversed the rul-
ing ot Commissioner Bparka and given the
laLrt in controversy to the Iron Mountain
Railroad company. Ths result is lou'l
weeping and wftilicg among the sq»;,tter 3,
several of whom will lose valtiahle im-
provements. ri
