W.*H, Smith, arrived this morning to escort the general to that city and acquaint him with the arrange-ments that had been made for his re-ception. He will spend three hours in Fort Wayne and make a speech. The party will proceed to Indianapolis by a special train. A Dime Museum Let Loose. New York, September 4.—A strap-ping big woman, as she passed the registry clerk at Castle Garden yester-day, lifted upon the counter what appear-ed to be a small boy with a full beard upon his face. He gave his name as Hansen Westergard, and said the woman was his wife. They were pas-sengers on the steamship Island, from Copenhagen. Westergard weighs 57 pounds’ his wife 190 and a daughter no pounds. Two sons, each six feet tall, are farmers in the west, and their father will purchase a farm near them. W. S.

Fort Bend County Almost a Scene of Terror—**- Three Blacks and one White Man Arrested Charged With Attempted Assassination* RACE TROUBLES. Brewing in Fort Bend County Between Whites and Blacks. Richmond, September 4.—[Special.]— H. H. Frost, a leading citizen of this town, of Fort Bend county, and a promi-nent democrat, was fired upon from am-bush last night when within twenty steps of his residence. Two shots were fired, the first shot taking effect in the small of the back and in the right arm. The sec-ond shot missed its mark. Blood hounds were put on the track. The dogs fol-lowed the track to a negro cabin one mile south of town. There they came to a halt, mounted the porch and jumped upon the door. There was no light in the cabin, but soon a negro man made his appearance at the door with a shot-gun in his hand. The cabin was now surrounded by fifty men ani the negro was told that he must lay down that gun, which he did. The house was then searched and three negroes were taken out, Jno. Ewen, his son Mitchell Ewen and Jno. Donovan, a colored school teacher. These men were brought to town and jailed. To-day H. F. Randle, deputy county as-sesor, was arrested and put in jail on the charge of being implicated in the shoot-ing of Frost. Randle is a white man, and the county assessor, ,Henry Fer-guson, is a negro. The negroes in Fort Bend county, are about four to one numerous as to the whites,and the repub-licans have elected very nearly all of the county officers for the past twenty years. The democrats two months ago com-menced to organize. The republican leaders were surprised to find that the negroes throughout the county were expecting an invitation to join the democratic clubs. The negroes had grown tired of electing the same officials year after year. J. H. Shamblen, a wealthy planter of Fort Bend county, took a prominent part in the movement of the colored people to the democratic party and a month ago he was assassinated. H. H. Frost was identified with Shamblen in politics. The best citizens of this town and county are determined that this era of assassination shall stop. They are disgusted with the delays and equivocations of the law. H. H. Frost is a brother of J. M. Frost, of Houston, the well known live stock dealer. No trouble is anticipated to-night. The negroes under arrest will be lynched ‘ if their guilt can be established. A Bold Strike at the Chiuese. San Francisco, September 4.—Hono-lulu advices to August 23 say: The Hawaiian legislature has passed over the king’s veto, an act to compel all per-sons and business men to keep their ac-counts in English. The law is aimed at Chinese, in the hope that it will drive many of them out of mercantile business. The first practical effect was to cause that class of buyers to desert the auction rooms, and they declare they will buy no more goods until the law is repealed. The constitutionality of the law is con-sidered very doubtful. The session of the legislature was expected'to close the 1st of September. It has been a long or.e, and not much has been accom-plished by the reform majority. Their new constitutionjhas not worked as well as had been expected. The season’s crop of sugar has been harvested with fair results. The crop of rice was also good, but outside of these two industries there is little doing. Democratic Executive Committee Meeting. To members of the democratic execu-tive committee: You are hereby notified to meet at the court house in Waco on September 15th, 1888, at 2 p. m. to trans-act business of importance. C. A. Westbrook, Chairman. Waco, September 4, 1888. Rich Lead Strike. Sedalia, Mo., September 4.—A rich vein of lead was struck to day southeast of Sedalia, in this county, which raises the mineral excitement to fever heat. Two specimens were brought to town. One was found on the surface and the other two feet below, and both were ex-posed by the blowing over of an old tree. A oompany will be formed here and the land upon which the vein exists either purchased or leased and works erected to prepare the mineral for market. Natural Gas iu Georgia. Athens, Ga., September 4.—News came this morning that a gas well had been opened on the line of the Coving-ton and Macon railroad, a short distance from this city. Two gentldmen, whoare great prosepetors after minerals, were out yesterday near the right of way of the new road, when they noticed the earth on which they were walking sud-denly changed from a solid to a hollow sound. They could not account for this, but at once began to investigate. Put-ting their ears to the ground, they heard a roaring noise. They secured a crow* bar and began to force it into the ground. When about five feet below the surface, a strong current of air or gas came up through the opening, bringing with it a great deal of dust and dirt. The noise made by this escape could be heard some ways. The discoverers did not dare to try igniting the flame for fear of an ex-plosion, but are confident it was gas. Gentlemen’s low shoes at cost at Moser & .Son’s.
