St. Louis, June 29.—A dispatch from the City of Mexico, referring to the proposed exodus of negroes from Texas to Mexico, notes the arrival there of Mr. Ellis, one of the emigration commissioners, who in an interview says: “We have an appointment for a meeting with Secretary Paricho and we will then unfold our plans and wishes, but I don’t mind telling you now that I firmly believe we are com-ing to Mexico 10,000 strong. Already 700 families have signed the agree-ment. These are from the counties of Washington, Wharton, Brazoria, and Bastrop. They are all hardworking men. many of them own farms and some are large cotton planters. If we can find a proper location in the cotton growing belt of Mexico this will soon be h cotton exporting country in-stead of an importer of the staple. Many farmers and laborers from Louis-iana and Mississippi will join us and as there is not the prejudice in Mexico against colored men that there is in the United States. I have no doubt wo will have at least 2,000 families pledg-ed to the movement as each family will consist of from five to seven persons who are tho best cotton raisers in the world. You will see we will be a very valuable contingent in Mexico’s re-sources. To Hang. Jefferson, Tex., Juno 29.—The case of the State vs. Bob Hines, charg-ed with murder, has occupied the en-tiro week of the court. The crime was the most brutal in the history of this county, and at the last term of the court he was given the death penalty. He is charged with killing Ike Bailey in March,. 1888. By some technicality the verdict of the last jury was revers-ed by the couit of appeals. The jury retired about 11 o’clock and at 1:30 brought in a verdict of guilty of mur-der in the first degree and assessing his punishment at death. The verdict was no surprise to the people, as the murder was simply horrible, and it was proven that Hines waited in the woods for Bailey and deliberately shot him in the back, knocking him off his horse. He then went up to the dying man and beat his head and shoulders into a jelley with the butt of the gun. The case has excited great interest in the county. Demoralized Officials. San Antonio, June 29.—The grand jury, who reported the result of their labor for the J une term, complained in emphatic terms of the laxity of the sheriff, deputy sheriffs, constables, and police officers in allowing so many crimes to go unpunished and their dis-inclinations to testify before the grand jury. Judge Noonan, commenting on the report, said that he experienced the same difficulty in court and that officers seemed to be oblivious to every-thing except the pay they draw. He also remarked that under the recent enactment of the legislature the matter would have to be altered and the officers either resign or be in jail the greater part of the time.

Iledden, who resides southeast of Denison sev-eral miles took to the city last week his little child, Sallie, to be treated for a snake bite. About 6 o’clock in tl 3 morning the little girl left the hou e with a pail on her arm to gather wi'd blackberries near what is called Stone Spring. The child was expected to re-turn home in a fe;/ minutes, as the family was to leave early to pass the day with a neighbor. The child being ah-sent something over an hour, Mrs. Hedden proceeded to the spring. The child was not there, and the mother called her name loundly several times. Receiving no response, she left the spring and walked into the blackberry patch to hunt up the child. Passing through the patch she saw a scene which made her scream and almost faint with horror. The child was seat ed on a rock and circled in her lap was a large rattlesnake. The child was caressing the snake, whose head was slightly elevated and moving to and fro. Sometimes the snake’s head would almost touch the lips of the child, who pushed it away without appearing to anger the snake. The child was so complefely under the spell of the ser-pent that it paid no attention to the mother, who screamed so loudly that her husband beared her a quarter of a mile distant and hurried to the scene. When Mr. Hedden appeared the snake placed itself in attitude of battle and the air almost seemed to vibrate with the noise of the rattler. Mr. Hedden advanced upon the snake, the child fell back as if in a swoon, and the snake struck it on the thumb of the right hand, and then sprang at Hedden, who killed it with a rock. Iledden sucked the wound, which he is confident saved the life of his little girl. Saleratus was also applied to the wound.' The hand and arm of the little girl were but very little swollen when she was brought to the city for treatment. The child states that she was sitting on the rock picking berries when the snake appeared, and that she was unable to move when she looked at it; that she was afraid of it; that when, it waved its head to and fro in her face she felt like going to sleep. Texas Train Wrcclt. Dallas, June 30.—The east-bound passenger train on the Texas & Paoific which passed here yesterday morning went through a bridge just east of Lawrence station. From what could be ascertained at this distance it ap-pears the engine and tender crossed over in safety but came uncoupled, and the rest of the train, except the last coach, which was General Manager Grant’s private car, went off the track. The baggagemaster, Mr. Samuels, was killed. The rest of the train crew and the passengers escaped with a slight shaking up. All that could be learn-ed about Mr. Samuels was that he wa« about 30 years old and a resident o, Marshall! A train was made up here last night for the west. There was no train from Fort Worth. A Cooil Wheat Country. Wiciiita Falls, June 29.—The yield of wheat is very fine, the crops that have been threshed making an average of twenty-six to thirty bushels. Wichita proposes to scoop the prize at the Dallas fair again this fall as the banner wheat county of the state, as it did last fall. The average yield will be more than twenty-five bushels for county. Frank Grady, lawyer and notary public, 119 South Fourth street. 1 Industrial Situation South. Chattanooga, Tenn., June 20.—The Tradesman of July 1 will publish a statement showing the industrial situ-ation in the south as exhibited by the mber of new industries established ”ing the last three months. It ows that during the last quarter 1021 new industries have been established against 690 in the previous quarter, there were 1711 new enterprises be-gun during the first six month of 1889, against 1290 for the corresponding pe-riod of the previous year, showing that the south is going ahead at a more rapid rate than ever before. What is more significant, says the Tradesman, is the fact that the character of the industries is of a more substantial na-ture and is on a much better basis than in previous years. Pity Them Both. Indianapolis, June 30.—Saturday David Ward, residing near Martinsville, Morgan county, reproved his 19-year-old son, William, because he had done some work in an unsatisfactory man-ner and for participating in a charivari. The young man brooded over the ma* ter and this morning shot himself through the head, dying instantly. Bisses* Crop Yet. Cisco, Tex., June 29.—The wheat crop throughout this section is turning out immensely. John Dennis, report-ed on the streets this morning that his • other Hillie made 700 bushels of . heat on twenty acres. He believes i/s crop will turn out better than this. The wet weather so far has done the small grain but little damage. Come Back to Stay. B. T. Killough, the Wide-Awake House- Furnisher. If you need a chamber set, a tea set or a dinner set, a bird cage, lamp, wa-ter cooler, ice cream freezer or any-thing in the line of wood, willow, tin, crockery or glass ware; household hard-ware,, cutlery, etc., from the cheapest to tho best, call on B.

The torrents of rain which fell last night and this morning flooded the streets and led to some apprehension of damage. The rainfall was immense in a short space of time and all the low places in the flats west of Franklin street were flooded to varying depths while ditches and sewers and gutters proved wholly inadequate to carry off any considerable portion of the flood as it fell. The geatest inconvenience happened as usual to a small territory embracing the Woolen mills and surroundings. The embankment made by the Mo. Pacific from 16th street to 20th street and still further, catches all the water which falls over a large scope of country with only a culvert in Waco creek to carry it off. The culvert is entirely too small for any such a rain as occurred this morning. A small creek winds its way from 16th street up to Dickeys hill draining all that section and this in the great rain this morning came pouring down an im-mense torrent made up of the drainage of a vast tract which slopes down to the Mo. Pacific railroad track. This mighty flood struck the track the culvert was choked and unable to carry it off and the consequences were that it spread over all the low flat on which the woolen mills is situated from Franklin street to the railroad. The mills have seventeen cottages there for the dwellings of their operatives. And the tier of these nearest the railroad were soon in a sea of water with the flood gradually increasing till it ran into the houses. It produced conster-nation and fear in which the crying of children and screaming of women min-gled with the roar of rain and the rush of waters. People vacated their houses as best they could and the woolen mill- people were more busily engaged in rescuing the tenants of their houses than spinning cloth. Mr. Iiirksey and others worked like Trojans and the frightened people got out of their houses and conveyed to the high-er grounds of the mil! The railroad track was covered with water which gives an idea of the sea which there was in that part and the seasonableness of the fears of the people. All but two or three of the houses belonging to the mill were delgued and will be almost uninhabitable for several days on account of the condi-tion of the yards and the approaches. A considerable quantity of lumber, shingles and other material on the ground for five new houses, which are being erected, were washed away. Waco creek did not overflow its banks and if the culvert had been largq enough there would have been no over- Alow. The mill men feel very justly indigant over the laches of the city by proper draninage facilities are not given to prevent such overflows of their property, as it works a great hard-ship on them making the people whom they are striving to place comfortably dissatisfied and interferring with the regular working of their mil! Mayor Hinchman and Alderman Me- Culloch were down their this morning at the instance of Mr. Kirksey and saw for themselves the havoc of the waters and it is hoped that they will give per-sonal attention to ameliorating the situation of the mill owners who have a right to feel aggrieved. No damage seems to have been done in other parts of the city. Streets were flooded and sewers and gutters were nowhere. The sewers could not carry off the water. Fortunately there was no wind accompa-nying the tremenduous rain storm. The Brazos river felt the effect of the rain only partially. It has been running half bank full for some days and was increased a few feet by the rain. The rainfall according to the report ‘ of the signal service officer here was 3.20 inches. Mr. Birdwhistle blows Ms horn to announce another Bargain Offer, in which we intend to paralize prices and pulverize profits on Shoes and Slippers. Nothing reserved, nothing ex-empt, but big reductions all around. We play by note, and if you set before us a Treasury note for one, two or five dollars,we will play so that you will laugh till shoe powder runs ont of the heel of your boots. Bring along yonr notes and y^lwill make the music. 405 Prof. J. C. F. Kyger, of Baylor Uni-versity returned home on Sunday morning from Galveston with his bride. Prof. Kyger was married at Lake Charles, La., on the evening of June 24th to Miss Eugenia Bryan, one of the belles of Lake Charles, and daugh-ier of Capt. J. W. Bryan, a gentleman prominent in Louisiana. The Rev. j)r. Burleson officiated, going to Lake Charles for that purpose. The wedded pair left for Galveston where they spent a week returning on Sunday The News wishes them fpippiness.
