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.

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.

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.
