A CRUISER’S SHOT THAT SUNK A FISHING SCHOONER. A Voodoo Doctor Sentenced—Row at a Kentucky Ball—Bulgaria’s New King—Utes on the War ath— Other Notes. An American Schooner Attacked a d Sunk. Associated Press. New York, August 15.—An Ottawa special to the Herald says: Agent Leman, a gentleman who arrived here Saturday evening from Bouctouche, a small village on the Gulf of St. Lawrence, shore of New Brunswick, tells a startling sensational story calculated to make the blood boil in every American citizen’s heart. He says that a fishing schooner belonging to the United States has been sunk by a shot from one of the Canadian cruisers and that all on board were lost. The statement appears incredible, but the reliability of the person who communicates it can be depended upon. This gentlemen has been spending some time in Bouctouche and is well acquainted with the inhabitants, but has no interest whatever in fishing matters and can have no possible reason for repeating a story which he knows to be false. He states that one night about eight days ago, while sleeping in a house in the village, himself and wife were awakened by two loud reports. They heard nothing lurther, and concluding that the noise was merely peals of thunder went to sleep again. In the morning they were told that they had heard the reports of two cannon shots which were fired from a cruiser in pursuit of an American fishing schooner. The second shot struck one of the schooner’s masts, which fell with sails and turned the schooner com pletely over on her side, when she filled and sank immediately. Every man on board went down, there not being a minute’s time to launch a boat.The affair,he states, was witnessed by a couple of Bouctouche fishermen, who were off shore in a row boat, and who carried the news home. After seeing the terrible result of her shots, the cruiser put to sea and was lost in the night. There was no stormjduring the night, so that the noise heard on shore could not have been caused by thunder. The reports were heard by nearly everybody in the village, who in spite of their being short and sharp, at the moment attributed them to thunder. The gentleman relating this terrible affair says every effort is being made to keep it quiet. There is no doubt, however, about the reports being heard and that there was no storm. The object of the authorities in suppressing news of such a character for as long a time as possible can readily be understood, but if true, the facts must come out as it would be really impossible to keep every man on board the cruiser from telling something of the story as soon as he reached port, if it 'transpires that an American vessel and crew have been sunk in this manner, grave complications will ensue. The number of lives lost would probably be from twelve to fifteen, possibly two or three more. That the report did not come from Bouctouche sooner is explained by the fact that it is an isolated place. The New Bulgarian King. Associated Press. Tirnova, August 15.—Prince Ferdinand arrived in this city Saturday night, and was enthusiastically welcomed by inhabitants. Today alter attending the Te Deum at the Cathedral, the prince was escorted by the military to the hall of the great, sobranje, where the metropolitan administered the oath of office to the new ruler, who then signed the constitution. Mr.Storloff, on behalf of the prince, read the '•following proclamation: We Ferdinand first by the grace of God and will of the people Prince of Bulgaria announce to our well beloved people that we assume the government of the country and will rule in accordance with the constitution, with the intent to promote its glory, greatness and development, and we shail be always ready to sacrifice our 1 fe for its happiness. Long live free and independent Bnlgaria.” The absence of any reference to Russia in the proclamation is considered significant. As a matter of form all the ministers have tendered their resignations and the Sobranje has dissolved. The garrison has taken the oath of allegiance to the new ruler. Neither Turkey nor any of the powers has replied to Prince Ferdinand’s note inviting their approval of his intention to assume the throne. A Voudoo Doctor Sentenced. Associated Press. Little Rock, Ark., Aug. 15.—Intelligence from Desha county is to the effect that tremendous excitement exists in the negro community bordering along the river, owing to the conviction of Dr. Henry Harris on the charge of having murdered James Venters. Harris is colored, and cures patients through the arts of voudootsm. He is regarded by the majority of negroes with superstitious awe. He envelops himself in mystery. No one knows the secrets of his medicines, which must be taken by patients with absolute faith in their efficacy. Venter’s felt ill and was attended by Harris. Growing worse, a local physician was summoned, who pronounced him suffering irom poison. When Venters died Harris was arrested and jailed. The arrest caused a sensation among both white and b^ack. Harris’ enemies boldly say that he has killed many persons with his diabolical arts, citing in proof of the assertion the names ot several who have lately died under his professional charge. His friends point to the cases of several white people who have been cured of what was at one time believed to be fatal maladies by simply using cettain charms which he furnished them. His trial resulted in a conviction of manslaughter, and he was yesterday sent meed to a term in the state prisc^t. It is stated here this evening that there is a probability of Harris being taken from jail and hanged, the friends of Venters being dissatisfied with the verdict. A Row at a Ball. Associated Press. Cairo, August 15.—A very serious row occurred at a ball across the river at Wick liffe, Ky., last night. At a late hour Bud Sullivan, who had been attending a religious revival meeting in another localtty, entered the hall and declined to pay the fee of fifty cents, the hour being so late. The manager of the ball, Eugene Watwood, determined that he should pay or leave the hall. Sullivan’s friends coneluded he need not do either, and then shooting commenced, whereupon the ladies rushed for the veranda outside and were accompanied by the gentlemen. The veranda runs around the second story of the building, which is the old Band hall, and sets up high on blocks. The weight broke it down and dropped the people to the ground, seriously injuring several and all being somewhat hurt. In the ball room Virges Rollins was shot through the neck, and it is feared that his wound will prove fatal. Eugene Watwood is charged with shooting him, and he is not to be found. Charlie Rollin? and John Watwood are charged with being implicated and prominent in the row, and they have also disappeared. Death of ExSenator Sagent. Associated Press. San Francisco. August 15.—Hon. Aaron Sargent, exU. S. senator for California, died here yesterday. He had been ailing for some time but confined to his house only for the last two weeks. His disease was enlargement of the spleen, resulting in blood poisoning. After his last return he engaged in the law practice, establishing the firm of Sargent & Stone. A Note of the Powers. Associated Press. London, August 15.—The Standard's Vienna correspondent says: England, Austria and Italy have sent Turkey an identical note declaring that they consider the election of Prince Ferdinand legal. It is reported that Turkey’s attitude is becoming friendly. ✓ Death of the Grand Vizier. Associated Press. LONDON, August 15.—The death is announced at Constantinople of Behram Agha, the sultan’s chief eunuch and confidential advisor, who virtually directed the state affairs of Turkey. Declines to Fight. Associated Press. London, August 15.—A Post dispatch from Madrid asserts that General Salamanca declines to fight a duel with the correspondent by whom he was challenged, and that the general will start for Cuba on 25th inst. Out and In. Associated Press. Washington. August 15.—It is announced that Mr. Janies B. Davis, superintendent of the ordinance department of the Washington navy yard, has been dismissed and that John A Burton of Laurel, Mo., who.has long been a mechanic in the foundry has been promoted to the vacancy. Pickles, jellies and jams, all sizes in glass, at Marshall & Heard’s. Pure imported olive oil and o es,at Marshall & Heard’s. An extra large assortment of cigars and tobacco, at Marshall & Heard’s. Iced Luxuries. No ice cream made in Waco is superior to that served at Lehmann’s Ice Cream Parlor, which is elegantly fitted up.
