suit foil damages.
The following is the substance of a peti-
tion that was to day tiled in the clerk's
•office of the District Court:
The petition of August Fuchs of Harris
county complaining of Henry Lehn, also of
Hariis county, represents that in the
month of March, 18SG, he had a chaste
daughter named Emma Fore, aged 11 years,
whom he had reared in habits of industry
and piety. She was of great value to peti-
tioner in aiding in household affairs and in
performing for him various kinds of labor
in and about his premises, and while chaste
^as of great comfort and consolationto him.
Petitioner Fucbs further alleges that his
■daughter was from her birth a member of
his household; that he has always main-
tained an honorable place in society, and
had never experienced anv sense of shame
or dtsradation on account of anything done
or buffered by his daughter aforesaid. He
furtLer alleges that the said defendant, well
kroviig tlettnder age of his daughter,
and cttceivicg how be might injure peti-
tioner, iu the months of March, April and
June, IS80, did seduce and debauch Emma
Fore, etc , from which a child wa3 born to
htron December, 18SG. And your petitioner
alleges that by reason of the seduction and
debauchery aforesaid by defendant, peti-
tiorer has'incurred great expense for the
suppoit and maintenance of said Emma,
and for mms paid for medical attention for
her, in the sum of $1000. And pstitioner al-
leges that by reason of the seduction and
debauchery of his daughter Emma, he
lost her services, which service was worth
to him the further sum of $250; and pati-
-tioner further alleges that by reason of ths
injury irflictcd on his daughter by defend-
ant she is incapacitated and rendered un-
able to perform labor for petitioner for ten
years to come, and thereby petitioner has
lost her labor for that period of time,
amounting to the further sum of $2000;
and petitioner further alleges that, by rea-
son of the injuries aforesaid inflicted on
his daughter by defendant, she has become
to him a burden of great expense for her
support and maintenance for ten years to
come in the further sum of $3000. And pe-
titioner alleges that the seduction and de-
bauchery of his daughter by defendant
las been and is a grave injury to
his (petitioners) parental feelings; and
said defendant has brought petitioner into
.great tbame and has caused petitioner
great mortification, whereby he is injured
in the further sum of $10,000. Wherefore
petitioner sues and prays tha' defendant
may be cited, and, upon a hearing, petition-
er may have judgment against defendant
for the said several sums amounting in the
aggregate to $10,250, and for costs aud gen-
eral relief.
Last year Henry Lehn was arrested on a
charge of outraging the person of the 11-
year old girl mentioned in the petition
above. He was tried on this charge ia the
•Criminal Court, and cleared, After the trial
Lehn and the Fuchs family returned home
in (he country. One night Lehn's house
'was entered by a body of men who entered
his sleeping room, dragged him from the
bed where he bad been sleeping anil gave
him a terrible bealing^r.<l horse-whipping.
As soon as he was able to get out of his
room he rode to the city and entered a suit
for Oamapes in a large sum against the
■Fuchees. Hhis suit is n w pending and will
be tiied during the next term of the District
Court.
The suit filed to-day is perhaps in retalia-
tion for the damage suit filed by Lehn.
will crush seed.
On the first day of September the Howard
Oil mills will commence to crush cotton
seed. The information comes from one
high in authority in this sterling company.
When the cheery event transpires, and ths
machinery again buzzes under the ioflaence
of the big engines, and the Southern Cotton
Seed Oil mills are also noisy with sounds
of industry, the peocle of Houston may con-
sider that the new era has dawned and the
boom goose comfortably on the wiug.
SEIST A TELEGRAM.
President (i. W. IUdd of the Texas State
■Geological and Scientific association to day
received a telegram from Professor Edgar
Everfcart of the State university, that he
■would arrive to-morrow (Tuesday) after-
noon in time to deliver his lecture in the
Lyceum ha)), under the auspices of the as-
sociation. The professor is "a man of learn-
ing end, will treat the subject of Infant
.Food and Infant Feeding with great ability.
ram jackson's fiddle.
A middle-aged colored man named Sam
Jackson this morning strolled into The
urws branch oflioe and struck up a tune on
a fiddle ol his own make. He knocked three
or four tunes out of it, and hummed a mo-
notonous refrain in a subdued tone. He
said lhat he con Id sing much louder, but
"De loud singin'would'stroy de harmony
made by de fiddle and de Siow." The body
of theinstrumentwasaflatcigar box. Nailed
upon it was a rough pine stick that extended
over one end, which answered the purpose of
a handle. Along this handle were four
strings. The two first were made of Clark's
No. 8 thread and the two last of No. 12
thread. Each string had extra strands of
thread. All these were strung over a thin
bridge and were fastened at each end of
the stick through the agency of slits. The
thieads at the end of the fiddle that rested
on nis shoulder were knotted. At tho end
■where the keys should ihave been the
ttreads were doubly waxed. To tune up he
merely drew the threads that hung down
from the handle. Each string
had its separate and distinct
sound, like the strings of a violin.
Tte bow was a curved piece of hickory.
Across this were stretched two strings
twisted from No. 12 thread, and also waxed.
In the top of the box were round holes. Al-
though the sounds that came from Sam's
Middle were weak, they were delicate and
clear. A violinist could have drawn sweet
music from it.

F. A. Rtichaidt, Houston—Dear Captain:
Seeing > (it were determined to have au en-
campment whether we had one or not, we
came to the conclusion to relinquish our
claim 8nd unite with you ia making the
encampment at Houston a success. It
wou'd be very foolish to have two, as they
would certainly both be failures. I will
wiiteto the different companies who were
in favor of Lsmpasas to transfer their vote
to Houston. I have notified Generalising,
and he wilj, no doubt, settle the question at
once. General D S. Stanley of the United
States army bad promised rue to attend
tte encampment with several companies if
held at Lampasas, but since then I have
written «nd requested the general to go
down to Houston. I will send you the an-
swer as soon as I receive it. If I can ren-
der you further assistance do not hesitate
to call on me. Yours, etc ,

the whiteoak shoot.
It is estimated that nearly 1000 people at-
tended the shoot at Whiteoak yesterday.
All the clubs were on haud at 11 o'clock.
At 12 o'clock the clubs formed in line and
marched to the dining hall, where a fine
dinner was spread, having been prepared
by the ladies of the precinct. At the close
of the meal the clubs congregated oa the
fhooticg ranges to engage in the club shoot.
It proved very interesting and exciting
with the following score:
Sprint* Branch 97, Whiteoak 101. Heir
Creek to, Houston 102. Ths individual
prize shoot was the event of the day. Iu
this contest Houston redeemed herself,
and carried off every prize. The follow-
ing are the names of the successful marks-
men: J. H. May first prize, Mike Floeck
second prize, Alex. Erichson third prize,
Louis Bender fourth prize, Ban. F. Kegan
fitlb prize, W. B. Cornetlus sixth nriza, M.
Rosenthal seventh prize, W. B. Corne-
tius eighth prize, Otto Erichson ninth
prize, and M. Floeck, tenth prize. Ia this
shoot each man was allowed two shots at a
three inch bull's-eye, 127 yards, the bull's-
eye counting 13. Messrs. Bender, Floeck,
Kegan, May and Alex. Erichson each
tcored 20, and a number of 2o's were
made.

laredo, Tex., May 16.—ConsideVable
damage was done to the Mexican National
bridge last night by the sudden rise ia the
Rio Grande, but the same was repaired to-
day in time for tlie incomiug Monterey
train to cross. The bridge over the Santa
Isabella creek, on the Rio Grande and Pecos
railroad, was washed completely out by
tie heavy rains which fell above Laredo
Saturday night. It will be a week before a
new bridge can be built. Fortunately a
supply of coal was on hand la Laredo at
the company's depot before the washout oc-
curred.
Dario Sanchez, sheriff of Webb county,
succeeded in arresting one of the Martinez
gBDg and placing him in jail, by the name
of Eugino Garcia. Martinez by good luck
succeeded in making bis escape. Martinez
is the same man mentioned in the official
correspondence of Secretary Bayard to
Governor Robs of Texas, being wanted in
Mexico for smuggling operations. A shep-
herd in the employ of Mr. Viilegas gave the
information to the officers which secured
his arrest. Martinez in his flight passed
near the camp of this shepherd and several
Winchester shots were heard, since which
time no trace of the unfortunate man has
been found and there is but little doubt
that he was killed by Martinez.
A young man, by the bame of Craig
came to Laredo six months ago and secured
a position as brakeman on the Mexican
National road, wheie he has given entire
satisfaction, and by his good conduct has
made many friends in this city. Yester-
day he was arrested by the sheriff, on a
requisition from the governor of Louisi-
ana, to answer four indictments for theft ia
Alexandria, La. An officer from that state
is expected to anive to night to take him
back.
Tbe R. Sanchez clip of wool sold Satur-
day for IS.1., cents, which is the highest

Galveston, Tex ,May 17 — Iuyourrepoit
of the prohibition performance held iu the
opera-house on Saturday last, I read the
following assertion made by Colonel Den-
son, one of the prohibition apostles: "We
tave," said he, "not only all the priests,
churches and Sunday-schools, but all the
women in tae state." etc, I consider this
incredible assertion simply as a slander on
the priests, and as one of them 1 wish to
protest against it. The priests are not and
can not be in favor of prohibition, for the
piiests while in the theological seminary
have learned the treatise on justice, ia
which the rights of others are represented
as sacred, and any infringement on them as
sinful. The priests the world over are for
temperance, and consequently against pro-
hibition. The piiests point out with pride
to the so called priest-ridden countries lite
France, Italy and Spain, where the puri-
tans and round heads have never exerted
their baneful influence, where bread
and wine are considered as the
necessaries of life, and to their
people as the most temperate
in the woild. The priests believe that you
have no ri«ht to dictate to others what they
shall eat, arink or wear. The state has the
right to make regulations to prevent the
sbute of good things, but not to prohibit
their proper use. Now should any dema-
gogues threaten the people of the above-
named countries with prohibition, as they
are now doing iu Texas, the medical faculty
of Paris would at once coin a scientific
name for this new kind of mental aberra-
tion. and the agitators would speedily be
cc nfined in the lunatic asylums.
The prohibitionists may have on their
side the preachers of certain puritanical
sects, who are asniring to political influ-
ence; this is the preachers' business and I
have nothing to do with it, but preachers
aie not priests. The priests will always b9
found on the side of common sense, right
and justice, and against tyranny.no mitter
by whom exercised, whether by kings or
nobs. A Pbibst.
