from Pennsylvania have been here oil

Paris, Tex., April 30.—News has just
reached this city of a horrible slaughter at
Arthur's, on Red river, in which three ne-

a marked change in this section of country

port that they will make good oat crops

here during the course of a year, but so
well is the soil adapted to retaining mois-
ture that a very little is sufficient.

visited with a most refreshing shower,
lasting an hour, laying the dust, reviving
vegetation and cooling the atmosphere. A

more than hold her own in the quantity re-
ceived.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
A Man Badly Stabbed and a Woman Killed
in a Bhanty in the Fourth Ward
North, Houston.
Houston, Tex., April 30.—To-night about
10.30 o'clock a most brntal murder was com-
mitted in the Fourth ward north. About 2
o'clock this afternoon a negro woman
whose name is supposed to be Hattie
Batcher, went to the house of Emma Bunch
and engaged a room. She returned
between 5 and 6 o'clock with a
man named Frank Lewis, whom she said
was her husband. They retired about 8
o'clock. Shortly after 10 Emma Bunch was
awakened by the groans of Lewis and the
screams of the woman. Upon going to the
room she found Lewis in the act of
leaving. He was severely stabbed
in the right side. Before Lewis could leave
Emma's attention was attracted by the
ciies of the woman, who had rushed into
the street, and upon going out she di3cov-
eied that her throat was cut from
ear to ear. She died in a
few seconds. Lewis was carried to his
boarding-house on Smith street, next to
Stonewall engine house, where he is now
lying in a critical condition. The party
who did the cutting has not been identified.
Emma Bunch was arrested and placed in
jail. All the parties are colored.
WACO.
Tlie Body of a Negro in an Advauced Stage
of Decomposition Found Under a Pile
of Cotton Seed.
Waco, Tex., April 30.—While the em-
ployes of the Waco cotton seed oil mills
were at work removing some seed from a
large storage room east of the mill they
found the body of a negro man in a very
decomposed condition. How the body
came to be hidden there is a mystery. The
cotton feed was stored in this room
December last. The body of the negro was
veiy near the floor and tons of seed were
roslingonit when found. It was evident
ihe body had been in the room for several
months. The general supposition is that
the negro crawled into the shed on a
cold night and went to sleep, and
a bank of seed either caved in on him, or
when the men commenced work next morn-
ing they covered him up, and he smothered
before they discovered their mistake. The
coroner's jury returned a verdict in accord-
ance with the above facts.
Sent Up for Liie.
Shrkveport, La., April 30.—The Crimi-
nal Court has been engaged all day on the
trial of Wm. Boss for attempting rape on
Mary Sewall, a married woman, and both
residents of this parish. The jury was out
only a short time and brought in a verdict
of guilty without capital punishment,
which sends Ross, who is a young man, to
the penitentiary lor life, la her straggles
with the fiend, who entered her room in the
night time, the woman tore a piecie from
the sleeve of Ross's shirt, which led to his
capture and identification.
A Coal Syndicate.
Pittsburg, Pa., May 30.—The river coal
operators are considering n gigantic
scheme by which the entire coai industry
from the Monongahela valley to New Or-
leans will be controlled by one powerful

operators and secure absolute control of the
southern coal markets. The syndicate,
when formed, will be the most powerful
coal pool in the country, and will repre-
sent millions of dollars.
He Broke His Promise.
Nashville, Tenn., April 30.—Yesterday
afternoon Mr. Edward E. Samuels, a promi-
nent St. Louis merchant, jumped from the
bridge in this city into the river. He was
rescued by some men in a canoe and re-
moved to Evers hospital, where he died at
8.30 this morning. Before he died he said
that his reason for attempting suicide was
because ho had broken a promise made to
his wife that he would drink no more intoxi-
cating liquors.

Chicago, 111., April 30.—Bridget Morgan,
while engaged last evening in cutting some

duty for filthy lucre. But the scheme, af-
ter one trial, had to he abandoned, because
