terpreted his delivery and hammered the

Austin, Tex., April 35.—The flrit game of
the season here between the Austin and
Fort Worth teams was played this evening.
The latter's catcher got struck in the
stomach and had to retiro early in the
action, when Frost was substituted in his
place. There were no other notable features
in the playing, except that the sacrifice hits
preponderated on the Austin side. The at-
tendance was about GOO. The following is

HOUSTON 6, waco 4.
Houston, Tex.. April 35.—The game of
ball this evening botweon Houston and
Waco was interesting from the fact that it
was close from first to last. There was
some pretty playing and some costly errors.
Douthett and McCloskcy muffed a good fly
each. Joyce made a costly fumble, Rogers
made an expensive wild throw to second
and the visitors made several costly errors.
The teams were pretty evenly matchod, and
the new pitcher, Gillespie, for Waco will
prove a valuable acquisition to the club.
He just arrived here and this is his first
game.

president newburq's say.
Houston, Tex., April 25.—This forenoon
a correspondent of TnE News met Presi-
dent Louis Newburg of the Texas league,
who is now here to spend a couple of days.
Of course the first thing that came up was
the condition and prospects of the Texas
league. Upon being asked how he regarded
the league's present condition and the out-
look for the season, he stated that he was
satisfied with the situation, because there
was harmony almost everywhere, and the
clubs were moving along with perfect tran-
quility. But one thing had occurred so far
that was unpleasant, and that was the little
episode in which tha Dallas club,
or one or two of its members,
reached a somewhat undesirable conspitu-

ousness. His course in the matter he felt
was the one to place the management of the
Texas league ii. the right light and to give
it a solid standin among the sincere lovers
of the game throughout the state. It
showed to them that nothing except square
dealing upon the ball field would be toler-
ated in the Texas league. As to its future,
he felt confident it would pull through by a
continuance of the management to hold to
suoh methods as have been started with.
As to umpires, he regarded it well fixed.
The responsibility that rested upon them
he knew was in good hands, and would ef-
fectually strengthen the stability of the
league.
They saw that perfect order was kept on
the grounds, which was especially Import-
ant, because it influenced the attendance of
ladies, which he regarded as one of the es-
sentials to the success of the game any-
where. A liberal attendance of ladies had
a strong influence toward the proper de-
portment of the men, and certainly did
more toward getting good work out of the
players than anything els«.
Upon being asked ho said it was hard to
say which of the league towns gave the best
patronage. Ihe smaller ones would natur-
ally be supposed to give the smaller patron-
age, but so far he had not noticed it to be
so, but thought they evened up pretty well.
President Newburg and Colonel Wiley
Jones expect to leave to-morrow, going

A Young Attorney Refuses to Answer
Questions Concerning the Ballot ltox.
Little Rock, Ark., April 25.—There was
something of a sensation in the federal
court to-day when the grand jury marched
into open court with C. C. Reid, a young at-
torney of Morrillton, and announced that
they had asked him questions about the
Plummerville ballot box theft which ho re-
fused to answer. The question was asked:
"Did O. T. Bentley have any conversation
with you in relation to, or did he tell you
anything about the theft of, the Plummer-
ville ballot box?"
In court Reid again refusod to answer,
and Judge Caldwell asked him if he and
Bentley sustained the relation of client and
attorney to each other. This Reid refused to
answer. Judge Caldwell gave him until to-
morrow to answer one of the two questions.
O. T. Bentley is deputy sheriff of Conway
county, and according to Warren Taylor's
confession was one of the party of twenty-
two who went from Morrillton to Plummer-
ville with the crowd that stole the box.
The foderal grand jury indicted Itufus J.
Martin, David Hignight, and Robert An-
thony to-day, charged with changing thir-
ty-one ballots from John M. Clayton to C.
R. Breckenrfdge in tho ballot box of White
River township. ^

Passengers Aboard tho Train Inter-
viewed—Dead Body Fonud.
Laredo, Tex., April 35.—The passengers
vsho wero aboard the wrecked train on the
Mexican National road, fifty miles this side
of Mexico, which was reported in last
night's special to Tiie News, arrived iu La
redo this evening. Several of them wero
interviewed by a reporter and gave pretty
much the same version. Among the num-
ber was John Williams and wife of Catan-
cho, Pa., Mr. Beardsley of Minneapolis and
Mr. Wm. B. Arnott of New York. Mr
Beardsley had his hand badly cut by thrust-
ing it through the glass window of the
seleper as tho cars went over. None of tha
others bore serious marks of injury.
W. B. Arnott states that tho train left
the City of Mexico with three passenger
cars and a sleeper on time. After a run of
about fifty miles the train stopped for about
a half hour. A short time after it started
the two passenger cars and tho sleeper left
the trapk and fell on their side against a
rock wall of a four foot cut, all the lights in
the sleeper went out and all was total dark-
ness. In a few seconds Mr. Arnott heard a
woman exclaim that she was smothering to
death in a lower berth. He succeeded in the
darkness in pulling the bedclothes off sev
eral bertha from on top of her and saved
her life. In a short time the conductor
called out to them from the upper side of
tho prostrate cars that be was thereto res-
cus them, and at cnco commenced to cut a
way through the car for the imprisoned
passengers to make their escape.
Several Mexicans in the second class
coach he states wero badly hurt, one of
whom when put upon the relief train was
vomiting blood.
A fire was built from the. fragments of
the wrecked sleeper, around which the pas-
sengers sat until daylight.
The passengers are loud in their_praise of
the coolness and prompt action of the con-
ductors of both tlie Pullman cars and the
regular train, but censure the management
of the road at City of Mexico for tardiness
in sending out a relief train with medical
assistance for the wounded pass»ngers,
claiming that it was 9 o'clock on Tuesday
morning before assistance arrived.
It seems that the engine did not leave
the track and was but little injured. The
passengers say that the accident was not
caused by obstructions placed upon the
track, but was the result of running around
a sharp curve at a too high rate of speed.
On the other hand, Major O'Brien, the
general manager of the road, telegraphs,
after a personal investigation on the ground,
to President Raoul of the road at New
York, that the accident was caused by some
miscreant placing rocks upon the track,
that only five persons were injured and
none seriously. The fact that no greater
damage was done indicates that the
train could not have been running at a high
rate of Bpeed.
This morning the body of an unknown
man was found upon the track of the Mexi-
can National a few miles from New Laredo
with his head severed from the body. Noth-
ing could be found upon his person further
than that his appearance was that of a Ger-
man, and is supposed to have been stealing
a ridefupen the trucks of a freight train
and fell off.
The workmen engaged on the bridge suc-
ceeded to-day in resting the span of the
bridge over the settled pier upon tho false
work, and expect to have the bridge all
right again in a few days.
Justice Foster married a couple last night,

condition of atchison stock.
New York, April 35.—[Special]—A spe-
cial from Boston says: The closing of tlie
Atchison books show 13,650 stockholders.
There are only 50,000 shares in the names of
banks and brokers, as agaiust over 100,000
shares a year ago. This 50,000 includes 30,-
300 held by Messrs. Kidder, Peabody & Co.
Only one director has sold any stock of con-
sequence, and this by reason of his ad-
vancing money to the company. He and his
family are still tho largest stockholders on
record. One other director has sold a few
shares, but his holdings aroover 30C0 shares.
The following paragraph from tho Boston
News bureau is supposed to reflect the opin-
ion of the present board as to the best
method of extracting the company from iis
predicament:
It is good conservative outside opinion
that tho bondholders, outside of tho first
mortgage bond end guarantee notes, would
be willing to take one-half cash and one-
half scrip for. say two yi-ars, at the end of
which time the Atchison would, with good
crops and natural growth, be earning its
full interest. The present directors are
nearly unanimous in the belief that during
the year from July 1 the Atchison will earn
its entiro fixed charges. The company and
its directors hold about 340,000 proxies, but
it can not be stated how many of these have
been revoked. Messrs. Kidier, Peabody &
Co. are thought to hold proxies on some
140,000 to 150,000 shares. Then'' has been no
outside estimate higher than the latter. The
firm, however, refuses to give any figures.
TEXARKANA LOCAL TOPICS.
Aspirants of Appointment as Postmnster—
Republicans Divided—lm provemon 19
Texarkana, Ark., April 35.—The action
of the Arkansas state central committee in
-indorsing W. W, Shaw" for postmaster of
Texarkana during its meeting at Little
Rock has raised a feeling among other as
pirants aud their friends here that threat-
ens to result in splitting the party into
smithereens.
Ira A. Church, a prominent Grand Army
man and late county judge, had some time
ago forwarded to Washington a petition
containing 500 names, praying his appoint-
ment. It is claimed ho also has the support
of nearly all local northern republicans and
Grand Army men: his friends freely charge
that the indorsement only went to show
tiirough the demands of Judge Mitchell, the
acknowledged republican leader of south
west Arkansas and the late republican can
didate for nssociate judge of the supremo
court. They say that they will no longer bo
bossed by him. nor will they again support
him for any office.
Owing to the numerical closeness between
the parties in the county, democrats are cf
course much pleased at the prospectiva
schism. Church's friends will forward a
petition to Washington, asking that the
state committee's action be ignored alto-
gether, and will make other efforts to secure
the appointment of their favorite.
Material to be used in the conatruotion of
tho new union depot has been arriving for
several days, and this afternoon the stone
masons reachod here from St. Louis and
work on the structure will commence at
once. It is thought the building will cost
about $10,COO.
A PREACHER'S WIFE
Arrested In Chicago Charged with Shoplift-
ing—Sensation in Church Clrclcs.
Chicago, 111., April 25.—A sensation was
caused in the church circles of this city
this morning, by the publication of the fact
that a minister's wife had been arrested on
a charge of shoplifting. The case camo up
in the police court this morning. The ac-
cused is Mrs. Jennio Kirkham, wife of Rev.
F. M. Kirkham, edito* of the Christian
Oracle and pastor of tho Presbyterian
church. :Rev. Mr. Kirkham is a well
known divine, who camo to Chicago only
a few months ago. Mrs. Kirkland is a sister
of General Drake of Des Moines, founder
of tho Drake university. The manager of
the store in which she was arrested s~tated
to the magistrate that himself and another
person had seen the woman stealing articles
in tho store: that when she was arrested
and searched articles to the value of $15 or
$30 were found on her person; that she ad
mitted her guilt to the policeman who
arrested h«, and that she offered to pay con-
siderably more than the goods were worth
to get out of it. Mrs. Kirkham's attorney
stated that the things were put into Mrs.
Kirkham's pocket by a domestic whom she
had hired, and that she supposed it was ail
right, though the things were passed to
her without having been wrapped up. Tho
employes of tho store declared that there
was no girl with her. After tho hearing
had been postponed a female prisoner in the
armory, who occupied the same coll with
Mrs, Kirkham, stated that tho latter had
endeavored to bribe her to swear she had
stolen the things, and had given them to
Mrs. Kirkham.

LABOR TROUBLES.
carpenter strike ended.
ST. Louis, Mo., April 25.—At a large
meeting of striking carpenters this noon, a
proposition to return to work for those
bosses who have agreed to the eight hour a
day system, and to pay 35 cents por hour
waaes, was put to a vote and carried by a
large majority. This practically ends the
strike, as in all likelihood all tho bosses
will recognize these terms. The question
of formally recognizing the brotherhood of
carpenters stands as it did before, the bosses
not having yielded that point.

COLONEL W. W. DUDLEY
Malces Pnbllc a Prl vato Lottor Written to an
Old Army Comrade.
Washington, April 25.—Tha following
alleged letter from Colonel W. W. Dudley
to Samuel Yan Pelt, an old army comnuld
living in Anderson, Ind., was published
hero to-day as a special dispatch to a Chi>
cago paper from Anderson:
"My Dear Sam—Yours received. I neei
not tell you that it would bo very gratify*:
ing to me to sea you get the Indian agency,
knowing, as I do, your, special fitness for
the place, and your service to the ccuntrjf
iu the hour of her sorest need. But I ai5
sorry to say thqt I will be uuablo to render
you any assistance whatever with the presi-
dent. He has lost his backbone, and is too
cowardly to be seea consulting with me,
for the simple reason that the copperhead*
and rebels of Indiana have trumped up iv
lot of charges against mo. llo seems en-
tirely o"blivious to tho fact that it was
through my effortB that Indiana was saved
to him."
When the above was shows to Colonel
Dudley he pronounced it a clear, cold forg-
ery, and b lid he had telegraphed to Van
Pelt as soon as ho saw it in the paper to-
day, demanding that Van Pelt give out for
publication tho letter which ho actually
wrote, and added; "I wroto only one and
I have preserved tho copy. Here it is. Whil»
I don't care to have my private letters pub-
lished to tho world, yet there is nothing ia
this letter which lam ashamed of,and whila
it was hastily written iu confidence to
an old friend, I would have no ob-
jection to the president seeing it. I
have asked nothing from General Harrison
and have nothing to complain of. I wish
the administration every success, and would
not if I could embarrass it in any way. I
am out of politics, and would not accept
any public office. I havo recently associated
with Mr. Charles D. Ingersoll of New York
and Jerome Carty of Philadelphia, and
have decided to devote my entiro attention
to the practice of law. I neither seek nor
would accept any public office." The fol-
lowing is the letter:
"Washington, April 15.—S. D. Van Pelt.
Esq., Anderson, Ind.—Dear Old Sam: Your
good letter of the 26th of March 1 got ia
good time, but it found me absent. I have
recently returned from atrip to the south,
where I wont on legal business, and had »
good time and a little rest from the crowd
of people who throng my office from morn-
ing until night, and from a mountain of
letters which pile up on my desk every day.
"Your letter got into the pile where I
rescued it to-night, and I hasten now to sty
how much good it lias done me to hear from
you again. There is nothing I should like
better than to do something for you, Sam,
but I am afraid you greatly overestimate
my influence. \ our old friend Reed has
placed his pension in my hands, and I am
working away at It to get it soon. Perhaps
there is no one in the country who has done
so much for General Harrison during the
last twenty years as I have, but because our
democratic friends down in Indianapolis
have started the hue aud cry on me, Brother
Ben does not seem to feel that he can afford
to recognize me as an acquaintance, and
consequently I don't take dinner at tha
white-house as might be expected.
'I have not been inside tho white-houso
since Cleveland's Inauguration, a little over
four years ago, but I will see if something
can not bo done later on and toll you what
to do. If you should not hear from me
again, Sam, for the next two months, don't
be alarmed, for there will be just as good
chances two months hence, and a little bet-
ter, than thero are now. Give my kind re-
gards to all the boyB at Anderson, and re-
member me always as your friend
"W. W. Dudley."
