LEE Remember That We Are the Sole Agents in Waco for “Pale Lager,” and All the Finest Brands of Bottled Beer. StepDaughter. Isham Berry, colored, is in the Waco jail today, where he went of his own accord last night, after stabbing another colored man, Wesley Danforth. The cutting was done shortly before midnight, on South First street, and was soon heard by several colored men and women, all of whom were returning from one of the colored churches Danforth’s wound is in the abdomen and penetrated to the intestines. It is the old, old story about a woman—Berry’s wife, in this case. Colored men who were near by say Berry met the couple on First street, walked up to Danforth, drew a knife and stabbed him without a word. The wounded man was carried to his home on South Second street and medical aid (Drs. Halbert and Taylor) summoned. Berry went to the jail and surrendered, giving up his knife— what is known as a tobacco knife, with a blade about three inches long. lie made no effort to escape or deny What he had done, seeming confident he had done right. To a Day reporter this morning Berry said: “This man Danforth, I have good reason to known debauched my wife. I work hard and am frequently away from home, employed on farms in the country. I had been warned, by friends, that my wife was untrue. I came home Thursday night and saw enough to convince me the warnings were well grounded. Then I went away again, telling my wife I wouldn’t be home until Saturday. But I came back last night. My wife was not at home. I went to the church and saw her sitting there with Danforth. This confirmed my suspicions. I waited on First street until they came home and stabbed him, as has been stated. I think when all the facts come out, as they will, I will be exonerated.” Berry is about thirtyfour years old, low stature and black. He came to Texas from Springfield, Missouri. So did his wife and Danforth, the three having known each other and been friends from their childhood. The wife’s name is Mollie Berry, and she is nearly ten years older than her husband. Danforth is known as a church member, has no wife, and works around brick yards. Some of the negroes say that Berry has not lived with his wife, with any regularity, for two or three years. The wounded man is alive this afternoon and doing as well as could be expected, although his physicians say it will be two or three days yet before it can be told whether or not the wound will be fatal.,In a latee interview Berry told the reporter: “I found my wife and Danforth in flagrante delictu. I couldn’t kelp trying to kill him.” A MURDERER CAUGHT. Van Hall, chief of Hall’s detective agency, received information this morning, of tho arrest, in Uvalde county,of Tom Saunders, of Coryell county. The capture was effected by P. B. Galbreath, of Hall’s agency. Last sumtaer, in Gatesville, Saunders shot and killed a young man named Noah Holmes. The murder occurred one Sunday evening, while Holmes and a young lady were in a buggy, going to church. After the killing Saunders compelled the young lady to remain with him an hour or two until he got away from ^Gatesville, making good his escape. The tragedy caused a great sensation at Gatesville and the young lady was arrested and subjected to a very severe examination. It was said Holmes and Saundeis were both rivals for her ' smiles and the suspicion got out that she might have cooperated with Saunders to lure Holmes to his death. But Saunders was not heard of and finally talk about the matter died out. By this time Sheriff Lanham, of Corryell county, has Saunders in the Gatesville jail. Governor Ireland offered a reward of §250 for Saunders’ arrest. IPrmrtpftou Scuflfftsts. CASTLES & MORRISON’S. OLD CORNER DRUG STORE IS THE Leading Prescription Drag Store In the City.

A representative of Tiie Day, who went with the Texas and St. Louis railroad officials to Gatesville yesterday, learned there that a man named A. Fitzgerald, who lives on Plum creek, in Coryell county, was arrested Thursday, charged with committing rape on a Miss Turk, who is a stepdaughter of Fitzgerald’s wife. The examining trial is now going on at Simpsonville, about ten miles from Gatesville. There was great excitement over the matter and strong talk of lynching Fitzgerald. Advices from Gatesville today state that Fitzgerald was held, without bail, to await the action of the grand jury, and has been committed to the Gatesville jail. Gen. Speight Rises to Explain. To the Editor of The Day. In your report of the proceedings of the city council of last Thursday, as well as in your editorial comments on my remarks on the resolution relative to the SlaydenKirksey woolen mills’ nuisance, you do me, I think, injustice. I distinctly stated that I was “a law and order” man and deprecated violent measures, but that the people affected were incensed and aroused to a point where forbearance had ceased to be a virtue, and that unless something was speedily done they wou'd take the remedy in their own hands “on the old frontier plan.’’ I was authorized in saying this, and even more, for some of the people have told me so and I believe they meant what they said. The object of my resolution was to avoid violence and I at no time intimated a personal sympathy with violent measures. Again the resolution was adopted by a vote of 9 to 1 and not 3 to 1 as you state. J. W. Speight. Waco, June 6. No Trace with Lawlessness, Alderman Speight’s card explains itself. The Dav did not need the alderman’s assurance that he deprecates anything even approaching lawless violence to property. What The Day deprecated was that alderman Speight should intimate there were good xitizens here who counsel a resort to such a policy, which is something that men, who value the welfare and stability of our social fabric, cannot afford to do. If there is a lawless element in our midst do not let it have even quasi encouragement. The Day never was, isn’t now,nor does it expect to be under obligations, even a nickel’s worth, to the SlaydenKirksey Company But they have rights, which must be respected and protected, and if they do wrong to anybody let the law be invoked. Uncle Dan’l on the Arm Clutch. Houston Age. Rev. Sam Jones, the distinguished revivalist, severely censures the custom, now so noticeable, of gentlemen holding with their hands the arms of the ladies they are walking with. The Age concurs in opinion with the evangelist. The custom is agreeable enough of course, to the gentlemen. As long as there is any warm blood in a man’s veins he will like to take hold of a woman and sqeeze her, but the women do wrong to allow the men such a liberty. It is time enough, after license is obtained and the marriage ceremony is performed, for a woman to allow a man to handle her so familiarly.

GREAT IS TERRELLA Correspondent Whose “Betc No:r”jj is the Corporation. To the Editor of The Day. The Dartmouth College case laid down the doctrine of the vested rights of corporations. Upon this decision the corporations have arrogated power to themselves, by encroachment and bribery even, until the creature has become superior to the creator; and while the natural person for crime can be imprisoned and put to death for the public good, the artificial person—the corporation—claims a vested right to live and do what it was first granted power to do, no matter how circumstances may have changed, or how corruptly the franchise may have been obtained. It held that a power granted by the British King, could not be taken away by the Republic of the United States. Mr. Terrell’s speech in Missouri goes but little further than his great speech made on the land question in the Eighteenth Legislature. We are being forced upon agrarian disturbances that destroyed the republic of Rome. The terrors of the French revolution inevitable. As conservative a man as ex Gov. Roberts, whose training as an English lawyer tended to give him an undue regard for the principle of Stareflecisis, as far back as 25th Texjs, we believe, in an able opinion declared that the doctrine laid down in the Dartmouth college case tends to import foreign institutions, to subvert our laws, and to build up a system in comparison with which feudal tennures will be regarded as beneficent and humane; and that it must be reviewed and repudiated. Terrell’s conclusions reach equally as far. Neither advocates communism; they desire to prevent that; to preserve private property lrom the aggressions of corporate wealth. If monopoly continues to encroach as it has in the recent past, communismjand revolution will result. They are the antidotes which the populace have never yet in their desperation failed to administer. Waco, June 6. DR. KING AT CLARKSVILLE. Hi3 Able Baccalaureate Sermon Last Sunday Morning. Rev. Dr. S. A. King, pastor of the Austin street Presbyterian church, as most of our readers are aware, is at Clarksville, Tenn., attending the commencement exercises of the Southwestern Presbyterian University, of which he is one of the trustees and visitors. In the Clarksville Tobacco Leaf, of June 2d, we find the following notice of his sermon last Sunday: The commencement exercises of S. W. P. University were introduced Sunday morning at the Presbyterian church with the baccalaureate sermon by Dr. King, of Waco, Texas. Dr. King’s sermon was, of course, addressed to the students of the University, yet there were none in the veiy large audience to whom it was not inteiesting, and who could not extract good from it. His text was from the third chapter of Second Timothy: “Continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them.” After speaking of the authenticity of the scriptures, and of them as the foundation of the grandest code of laws th at had ever been devised for the government of nations, Dr. King took the admirable advice of Paul to Timothy as expressed in the text, and commended it eloquently to the young men of the University. His discourse was scholarly and profound, and commanded the strictest attention. Among the other eminent Presbyterian divines present are Rev. Dr. Palmer, of New Orleans; Dr. Marshall, of Texas; Dr. Craig, of Baltimore; Macrae, of Memphis, and others. Dr. King is expected home some time next week. They do say that Tucker’s Diarrhoea and Cholera Mixture, beats anything yet tried or all bowel troubles. Attend Levinski & Albea’s clearance sale of bracelets. They sell them 25 per cent below their regular prices. 5 16—tf Tucker’s “Simple Remedies,” at Lion drug store are being daily called for by the people. Saratoga, Deep Rock, Vichy, Wootan Well and Blue Lick Water at H. Behrens’ — April iltf. June Announcement. For your hardware go to E. Strauss’, next to the post office. When we moved “west” we were compelled to arrange our business either for the wholesale or retail trade. After a thorough investigation, y/e concluded to make the wholesale trade our main end and aim. We selected a stand close to other wholesalers. We placed all our stock in the first story and provided every facility for prompt receipt and shipment of large quantities of goods. While wholesaling is our main end, we have not neglected retailing as a secondary end. We are nearly in the center of the city. We can furnish you one half pound of nails or one dozen screws or a paper of tacks with as much promptness and dispatch as we can a wagon load. Our East Waco house (which is connected by telephone) is in the hands of experienced men, and will be run as heretofore. It is a solid concern and nearlyfloodproof. Our personal attention is given to the West Waco house and our office is there. Yours Until July, Ed. Strauss. Death of Mrs. Albeit Chalmers. Mrs. Martha E. Chalmers, wife of Mr. Albert Chalmers, died at 11:40 o’clock last night, in the forty.sixth year of her age, at the family residence, on Austin street, after an illness of about three weeks. Mrs. Chalmers was a daughter of the late Col. Geo. E. Burney, and the greater portion of her life has been spent in Waco and McLennan county. Three children, all daughters, two of whom (Mesdames Horace Pickett and J. F. Bagby,) are married, survive her. The deceased lady had many and warm friends, who prized her for her moral worth and amiability. Profound sympathy will go out to the sorrowing husband and children. The funeral services are in progress, at 4:30 o’clock this, afternoon, as we go to press. The interment was in the Oakwood cemetery, Rev. J. H. Richey officiating. A TRIP TO GATESVILLE’ Railroad Officials on the Wing—What They Saw and Heard. Messrs. Fish, Dodge, Flanders, Wadleigh and other Texas & St. Louis officials, who went to Gatesville yesterday, returned in their special car at 7 p. m. They found the track of their road, from Waco to Gatesville, had been severely damaged by the storms, but the repairs are now all complete. The Leon river, old citizens told them, was three feet higher than ever known before, and came within three feet of the bridge. In the Price t; Cents. valley cotton is badly damaged, but on the uplands all the crops seen by the party looked well. A Day reporter, who accompanied the party, learned ot the following queer incident of the storm. Mr. Davenport, who lives near Langsford’s Cove, 16 miles from Gatesville, was struck on the right side of his head by lightning. The current passed down his right side to the knee of the right leg, then jumped to the knee of the left leg (which was crossed over the right limb) knocking off his boot heel and burning a scar on his foot about two inches long. He is under Dr. Tate’s care and doing well. Mr. Fish and party spent most of today in Waco, and left for the east at 4 p. m. BY TELEGRAPH, Statu News Items—Gladstone on the Peace Prospect. Austin, June 5.—The auditing board of federal claims today appointed Senator W. H. Pope, of Marshall, as agent of the state to present claims at Washington. They will aggrcaate $1,600,000 on which, by the law recently passed, the agent will receive onehalf of one per cent of all collected. Palestine, June 5.—Wednesday night • about 9 o’clock a German named Beasley, resident in South Palestine, sprang from his bed and shouted to his wife that he had been shot She lighted the candle, and after a search told him he had only been stung by a . stinginglizzard. Beasley began to surge about the room, declaring he was going to die, and presently fell down in a fit or spasm. He had one fit after another, until daylight, and is now in a,’precarious condition. Waxahachie, June 5.—The people of Waxabachie this evening accepted the proposition of the Fort Worth company to furnish $25,000 cash, the rightofway through Ellis county and depot grounds in this city in order to secure a road from Fort Worth Ail the bonus required was properly guaranteed today and the Fort Worth projectors notified. Dallas, June 5.—The Pan Electric telephone company will commence putting up poles in a day or two,and we expect “items.” The Bell company has wires on both sides of the streets, and there is bound to be a clash. The new company has already announced that it will reduce the rate at private houses one dollar per month. The Bell company will probably follow with a like or greater reduction. Baum, who died in the Chatham jail a few days ago, was insured in different benevolent orders of this city for $15,000. FOREIGN. London, June 5.—Mr. Gladstone stated in parliament that Russia and England had come to an agreement concerning the point of dispute between them, which was to be referred to arbitration. He also stated that the governments of the two countries have likewise agreed upon the arbitrator, but as the person chosen for arbitrator had not yet been formally asked to accept, he was unable to say further on the subject. Card from the Clerks in the Waco Postoifice. To the Editor of The Day. Under the heading “A letter resurrected after over five months apparent burial in the Waco postoffice,” Mr. J. T. Woods is reported as saying that a letter addressed to him in care of the Hr& T. C. depot, Waco, Texas, laid in this postoffice five months and fifteen days before it was delivered to him. In the same article Mr. Woods says he did not get the letter from the postoffice himself, but from one of the H. & T. C. railroad officials. Now ve are clerks in the Waco postoffice and as such distribute all the letters to the boxes and to the general delivery and can say positively that this letter has not been in the Waco postoffice three days of the time between the date of its receipt at the postoffice and the day Mr. Woods says he received it. • James L. IIorne, Will Tally, Clerks in the Waco Postoflice. Waco, June 6. Howell & Stone’s Nursery. To the people of Waco and surrounding country: We the undersigned wish to say to the people that we are now in this county canvassing in the interest of the Dallas nursery— stock grown in Texas.

Upon this decision the corporations have arrogated power to themselves, by encroachment and bribery even, until the creature has become superior to the creator; and while the natural person for crime can be imprisoned and put to death for the public good, the artificial person—the corporation—claims a vested right to live and do what it was first granted power to do, no matter how circumstances may have changed, or how corruptly the franchise may have been obtained. It held that a power granted by the British King, could not be taken away by the Republic of the United States. Mr. Terrell’s speech in Missouri goes but little further than his great speech made on the land question in the Eighteenth Legislature. We are being forced upon agrarian disturbances that destroyed the republic of Rome. The terrors of the French revolution inevitable. As conservative a man as ex Gov. Roberts, whose training as an English lawyer tended to give him an undue regard for the principle of Stareflecisis, as far back as 25th Texjs, we believe, in an able opinion declared that the doctrine laid down in the Dartmouth college case tends to import foreign institutions, to subvert our laws, and to build up a system in comparison with which feudal tennures will be regarded as beneficent and humane; and that it must be reviewed and repudiated. Terrell’s conclusions reach equally as far. Neither advocates communism; they desire to prevent that; to preserve private property lrom the aggressions of corporate wealth. If monopoly continues to encroach as it has in the recent past, communismjand revolution will result. They are the antidotes which the populace have never yet in their desperation failed to administer. Waco, June 6. DR. KING AT CLARKSVILLE. Hi3 Able Baccalaureate Sermon Last Sunday Morning. Rev. Dr. S. A. King, pastor of the Austin street Presbyterian church, as most of our readers are aware, is at Clarksville, Tenn., attending the commencement exercises of the Southwestern Presbyterian University, of which he is one of the trustees and visitors. In the Clarksville Tobacco Leaf, of June 2d, we find the following notice of his sermon last Sunday: The commencement exercises of S. W. P. University were introduced Sunday morning at the Presbyterian church with the baccalaureate sermon by Dr. King, of Waco, Texas. Dr. King’s sermon was, of course, addressed to the students of the University, yet there were none in the veiy large audience to whom it was not inteiesting, and who could not extract good from it. His text was from the third chapter of Second Timothy: “Continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them.” After speaking of the authenticity of the scriptures, and of them as the foundation of the grandest code of laws th at had ever been devised for the government of nations, Dr. King took the admirable advice of Paul to Timothy as expressed in the text, and commended it eloquently to the young men of the University. His discourse was scholarly and profound, and commanded the strictest attention. Among the other eminent Presbyterian divines present are Rev. Dr. Palmer, of New Orleans; Dr. Marshall, of Texas; Dr. Craig, of Baltimore; Macrae, of Memphis, and others. Dr. King is expected home some time next week.

When we moved “west” we were compelled to arrange our business either for the wholesale or retail trade. After a thorough investigation, y/e concluded to make the wholesale trade our main end and aim. We selected a stand close to other wholesalers. We placed all our stock in the first story and provided every facility for prompt receipt and shipment of large quantities of goods. While wholesaling is our main end, we have not neglected retailing as a secondary end. We are nearly in the center of the city. We can furnish you one half pound of nails or one dozen screws or a paper of tacks with as much promptness and dispatch as we can a wagon load. Our East Waco house (which is connected by telephone) is in the hands of experienced men, and will be run as heretofore. It is a solid concern and nearlyfloodproof. Our personal attention is given to the West Waco house and our office is there. Yours Until July, Ed. Strauss. Death of Mrs. Albeit Chalmers. Mrs. Martha E.

A TRIP TO GATESVILLE’ Railroad Officials on the Wing—What They Saw and Heard. Messrs. Fish, Dodge, Flanders, Wadleigh and other Texas & St. Louis officials, who went to Gatesville yesterday, returned in their special car at 7 p. m. They found the track of their road, from Waco to Gatesville, had been severely damaged by the storms, but the repairs are now all complete. The Leon river, old citizens told them, was three feet higher than ever known before, and came within three feet of the bridge. In the Price t; Cents. valley cotton is badly damaged, but on the uplands all the crops seen by the party looked well. A Day reporter, who accompanied the party, learned ot the following queer incident of the storm. Mr. Davenport, who lives near Langsford’s Cove, 16 miles from Gatesville, was struck on the right side of his head by lightning. The current passed down his right side to the knee of the right leg, then jumped to the knee of the left leg (which was crossed over the right limb) knocking off his boot heel and burning a scar on his foot about two inches long. He is under Dr. Tate’s care and doing well. Mr. Fish and party spent most of today in Waco, and left for the east at 4 p. m. BY TELEGRAPH, Statu News Items—Gladstone on the Peace Prospect.
