with another destructive fire, originating
id Cole & C'o.'s door, sash and blind store

the Greenlaw Opera House and adjoining
Btores, consuming buildings covering on
area ot 130 by T0 feet, and involving a
loss or about $170,000.
On Monday morning the grocery store
of William Miller, at La Salle, 111., was
completely destroyed by fire with nil its

damaged, swelling the aggregate loss to
$25,000.
On the same night fire destroyed the
Kentucky River Hemp Mills at Frankfort,
Ky., at a loss of $S.j,000.
Horror.
A horrible accident occurred last Friday
on the Lake ignore Railroad at I'ittsford,
Hillsdale county, O. A freight train bad
just pulled into the station on the mam
track, and was cutting out a car, when
another freight came around the bend a
tew rods to the west, and crashed with ter
rific force into its caboose. The latter
immediately took tire, and three passen
gers were consumed and six others were
more or less dangerously injured.
The railway engine of an incoming
train ran into a street car in Philadelphia
last Friday morning, demolishing it and
mangling ten of its passengers, of whom
two have died.
Suicide.
Edwin IJutt, a traveling .salesman for
Thompson & Hayden, Chicago, ut Day
City, Mich., on Saturday night cut his
throat with a pocket knife, dying shortly
after. lie had been on a protracted spree
and was supposed to have had an attack of
tremens.
William Sheffield, a wealthy banker at
Napoleon, Ohio, returned to his home on
the 0th after the bunk had closed for the
day, and laying down on a lounge took
out a pistol and deliberately shot himself.
There is no known cause for the act.
Some time ago a son-in-law of Mrs,
Snow, at Gatesville, Texas, lost his wife
and turned over his little chi'd, two j ears
old, to its grandmother to be cured !or.
He married anain, and was desirous or re.
gaining possession of the child. Mrs.
Shaw being unwilling to surrender the
child, it was taken by force. Aggrieved
by the loss, she on Wednesday committed
suicide. She lashed herself in a very in
genious manner to a stone fence, first sat
urating hor head and clothes with kero
sene. She then struck a match and ap
plied it to her clothing. When found
she was dead. The body was horribly
burned.
CRIMINAL VARIETIES
Culled Here ami There
I'lillIeB.
from the Hit;
Tlio lluntinHU.
James McStcen was hanged at Pitts
burg on the 4th Inst. Tor the murder of his
wife. The story of his crime was briefly
that on the evening of June 9th, 1W2, he
sent his boy out of tho house under some
pretense, and when the little feilow return,
ed he found his mother dying on the floor
with her skull crushed in and a blood
stained axe lying beside her. His lather
had f.ed, but was arrested the same night.
At the trial it was clearly shown that he
had committed the deed.
Double Murilem.
We have never before, in these chroni
cles, had to notice so many simultaneous
murders and suicides in one week. There
seems, in the last few days, to have been
quite nn epidemic in that way.
At Liberty, Mo., on the 7th, Ambrose
Daggett, a young man working on the
farm of David Grcely, shot through the
neck Miss Ella, the young daughter ol
Mr. Greely, causing instant death.
Daggett immediately went into the orch
ard, near the hou.-e, and, putting :i bullet
through his own head, instantly expired.
Jealousy was the cause or the murder and
suicide.
At Northboro, Mass., on the same day, a
man named Taylor, from Drockton, but on
a visit with his wile to the home or Dich
arJ Eylward, shot his wire and then blew
out his own biains. The woman was in
duced to go into the field, and while there
the shots were fired. The woman is ex
pected to recover, the ball having entered
the throat anil came out through the roof
of the mouth. The man died instantly.
On the 8th ln.-t., at (Juinry, III., the lull
Moo led Indian doctor, who had been ply
ing his profession by incantation am one
the ignorant there lor sereral yeais, and
Mho whs mmrird to a white woman, killed
hu and then killed himself. The lo?s
to Hie community will not be fell.
At Milwaukee, same day, Albert Klster
maun, of Madgebur, Germany. I!4 years
old, killed his w ile w ith an iron rod in a
Clinton street lodging house, and departed
from the scene at 8 o'clock next morning,
leaving a note in which he explained that
as their money w as gone they didn't care to
live longer, ami had agreed that ho should
kill her. The note closed w ith the phrase,
"I have goue out to hang myself," and as
he has not turned up since tlte supposition
is that he has hanged or drowned himself.
At Austin, Texas, on the Sth, a German
named Ffaunekerphon and a French brick-
mason named Jeiie, near neighbors, raked
up an old grudgo in saloon, and in an
encounter outside the German drew a self
cocking revolver and lired a shot through
Jette's bowels, the ball passing into the leg
ot a carpenter named Kelly. The Ger
man succeeded In putting another bullet
into the body of.Jette, but the latter in fall
ing seized the weapon anil shot the German
himself in the bowels. Il ith itied.
At Indianapolis, tin Monday, William
Fulx, a German baker, 27 years of age,
killed the wife of Albert Nell, clerk in a
clothing stole, by hhootmg her in his
(FulzV) room in his boarding house, kept
by Mrs. Nell's sister, and then shot and
killed himself. The two are said to have
been for some time criminally ir.timate,
and then to have (juanelled, which led to
the double tragedy.
Other Murder.
At Oswego, Kansas, last Friday night,
Frank Fisher wiis shot through the brain
and instantly killed by a companion in a
saloon. Cause, whisky. The murderer
ft us uirt'Mted.
On Saturday at Ferry ville, Kas.,a young
farmer named Sullivan was found dead in
his wagon. He had n bullet-hole in his
forehead and his skull was shockingly
fractured. About a mile from there he
was seen lying in his wagon, his horse
walking along the road, but it was thought
he was drunk. He had sold some wheat
for thirty-two dollars, which was found on
his person when the hoise reached home.
There i-i no clew to the murderer.
At Allegheny, Fa, on Friday night,'
John liro'vn and Henry Weaver disagreed
over u hi.-rse trade, when Drown suddenly
drew a largo sized revolver, which he dis
charged thsce times at Weaver, two balls
pasuing through the victim's head and the
third through his neck. Weaver died in
stantly. The infuriated murderer then
seized n chair and broke it to pieces on
the insensible body of his victim. Dut
this did not satisfy him. Stooping down
he pounded the dead man's skull to a jelly
with the butt of the revolver, and then
kicked and stamped the body until he had
to desist f rom exhaustion. He then walk
ed out of the house, passing two or three
policemen at the door, and made his es
cape, and is still at large.
From Texas.
Dili S.-ui.Mis, Tex., Sept. CO.
Mkssks. Editors: 1 have just returned
from a long western trip and intend to
start on the "home run" to-morrow, stop
ping at several places on the way.
I hope I am not wearying you with my
letters, but the fact is this country is bound
to fill up rapidly, and you will do your
readers, or many of them, a favor by call
ing their attention to this "coming em
pire." It. surely is the state of all others
either for immigrants or capitalists, and
thousands are beginning to find this out.
J. O. II.u:ius.
Wkathehkoiu), Tkx., Sept. 21.
Mhsn. Enrrons: Wcnthcrford, the
comity seat of Parker county, has a popu
lation of about 3,(100, is beautifully situa
ted, unusually well built, having many
fine buildings of brick and stone, and very
liumy intelligent and hospitable people.
It is unfortunate for the city that much of
the land near is hilly, rocky and poor,
since strangers passing through must of
necessity receive erroneous impressions as
to the country round about and naturally
infer that it is rough, ragged and untit for
cultivation; while the truth is, that the
valley uivi bottom lands are as lertiie and
productive as one could wish:
We did not examine the county at large
to any great extent, but the day after our
arrival the citizens provided some car
riages and showed us all the points of in
terest within easy reach. We saw much
beautiful scenery, greatly enjoyed our ride
and fully appreciated the courtesy of the
citizens who had afforded us this pleasure.
During our absence circulars were got
out inviting "everybody to conic to the
court house to night" and assist in giving
our party a "Texas reception."
Accordingly after supper we went over,
where we found the court room well filled
with the ciuzens. Speeches were made bv
several leading men cordially wele.om ins:
us to Weatherford, and to the state, ir.
most courteous language, and giving us
much interesting information.
Ouroratois did not materialize to any
great extent, but responses were made by
several or the party, when we left the hall,
impressed with the cordiality and hospi
tality of the people, convinced that Weath
erford rully appreciated the value of im
migration and would do all she cou'd to
secure it.
The next morning our cars were attached
to the first west bound train a freight
and we proceeded slowly to Daird, the slow
movement of the train being an advantage,
as aSbrdiog us a fin r.r.rwrt"-''- rf .rng
the country through which we were
passing.
Of course I can not describe the whole
country; it would take too much of your
space; anil shall confine inyselt to a few
points, aiming to givo facts of greatest in
tcrcst. We did nto remain at Daird but a
part of tho day and saw but little of the
town. The laud near is in part hilly and
broken, in part very rich and fertile. The
writer on a former visit rodo for many
miles in the couutry and sawoome exceed
ingly fine land and cultivated farms, which
gave promise ot rich reward to the owners.
The railroad company has an experiment
al farm at this point, which is cultivated
not for profit, but to show what can actual
ly bo done In th's latitude. The following
are some of the results lor tho present
season :
Winter wheat, from 22.10 to 40.32 bush
els 10 varieties sow n ; the best results be
ing from Dluc Stem and Dill Dallas w heat.
Oats yielded from 37 to 70 80 bushels ; rye,
40.0S; barley, 40.32 bushels.
In addition to theso crops, corn, coiton,
sorghum, millet and other crops were
raised, but I have no exact figures as to
results. They were said, however, to be
very satisfactory.
Fruit and ornamental trees and shrubs
havo been planted with every indication ot
the best results. The farm in fact seems
to be a success every way, ami furnishes a
complete answer to the statements of the
stockmen ttat "this country is first-rate
lor stock, but of no account for farming."
The company has two other experiment
al farms at points further west. I did not
visit them, but am informed by Mr. Koes
ler that the results obtained are entirely
satisfactory.
Our next stopping place was at Abilene,
20 miles further west. Here carriages
were provided by Col. F. A. Huston, who
gave Us a ride in the country and showed
us every possible attention.. The Col. is a
perfect typo or the southern gentleman,
tillable and courteous to a degree, and
withal fond of a joke or repartee, as wit
ness the following:
We were speaking ot the brief time that
had elapsed since the Indians roamed all
over this couutry, when the writer asked,
"Did you ever hunt any Indians, Colonel i"
"Xo, sir; I never lost any. They, howev
er, have hunted me!"
We rode out to the farm of Mr. F. C.
Ilarhn, a gentleman who has spent many
years in California, and who now owns a
small ranch of 3,."i00 acres some six miles
from Abilene, where he has a large quan
tity of stock, and is also tilling from 50 to
100 acres, mainly for feed for his own use.
II is crops were all 6od crops, but he had
20 bushels (,f wheat and 50 bushels or oats
per acre; Johnson grass, which can be cut
twice a year, two tons per acre each cut
ting; millet, douro corn, &c, occ.
Mr. Hahn is delighted with tho couutry
ana climate, and is ready to swear that
"Texas beats the world."
Our party was enthusiastic as to the
country round about Abilene, and I will
give you the reasons in my next. II.
AniLLXK, Tex., Sept. 25.
lo tih: J',ditoii : 1 have been so con-
stantly on the move that I have forgotten
whether I have said anything in other let
ters about Abilene or not, but for lear I
have not and because our entire party was
i
delighted with Abilene and Taylor county,
I will risk repeating and say that' the first
house was completed iu Abilene on the
17th of March, 181, and the city now has
an honest population of 3,000. There are
twenty-one stores, assorted, five hotels, live
livery stables, one steam flouring mill,
nine lawyers, six doctors, two newspapers,
two schools, churches, occ.
There are now 100 flourishing farms
near Abilene three years ago there was
not one. Land could have been bought
then at from ."50 to 7-j cents per acre; now
the same land is worth from $." to $10,
though some land farther from town can
still he had as low as $3 per acre.
These m rvellous results are not due to
any over stimulation ; they were nut caused
by any "lorcing" process; the explanation
is simply this: a town was needed at that
point, the advent of the railroad gave it
birth ; active, energetic people flocked in,
saw its natural advantages, planted the
town, it grew, has continued to grow, is
still growing, with not the slightest indi
cation of letting up, utid no man with any
regard tor his reputation as a prophet dart
say Abilene will not have 10,000 people in
less than live years.
Round about it are some of the finest
and best watered lauds in the state. It has
cultivated the wool interest, till now it is
second only to .in Antonio as a wool
market. The pjople are wise cuouth to
see that the days of the "cow men" have
uassed, or are rapidly passing, and that
sheep husbandry and general farming are
legitimate and profitable brai.ehes of in
duiry; they appreciate immigration, and
cordially welcome good and true men
without inquiry a-, to their coun'ry or
their creed.
Much f the growth and prosperity of
the city and country is due to the Abilene
Iiep.rtcr, a taper that is well and ably
edited, finl lam glad to say appreciated
by the citizens.
1 coull write all night ui.eiit this
charming town aud country and the peo
ple, Lut our car will soon be attached to a
traiu juat in, ana 1 must iii.ne on to Colo
rado City, SO miles west. This city is not
quite so aged by a Tew months, I bc'irte
as Abilene, and claims 5,0"O, which peo
pie, who reside elsew here, say should be
written thus .",000, divided by 2 the true
figures.
One thing is certain, that for enterprise,

buildings, some with plate glass fronts,
gas (for lighting 1 mean), a street railway,
the telephone, banks, newspapers, church
es, schools, and In fw't tho facilities for
doing business, and many of the comforts
and luxuries or lire that are often wanting
in cities ten times as large. It is said,
though I don't vouch tor its truth, that if
any adult citizen should fail to boast about
Colorado or to claim that it is tho very
best town of Hs age in the I'niteil States,
he is instantly taken to the river bank and
shot!
The Colorado Clipper, aed it is a clip
per, does its full share of kwsting, Keeps
saleable points before the people, calls at
tention to all that can conduce to tho city's
welfare, and works on general principles
for Colorado. The Clipper office is fitted
up in metropolitan style, ha. the latest im
proved power presses, and an outfit to
gladden a printer's eyes.
Fred. W. Draun, a young La Salle coun
ty man, has the finest drug store in town,
claims a $10,000 stock, is popular, appre
ciated, and though quiet and modest is full
of the genuine Colorado brag.
Aud yet, not one or our party could get
up any enthusiasm as to Colorado or any
or the lands on either side for several
miles, as seen from our car. The citizens
generally, it is said, cultivate the cattle in
terest to the exel usion of every other, and
look with disgust, it not with hatred, upon
him who turns the sod with a plow.
Well, Colorado may have the brilliant
future before her that her citizens so confl-
dently predict. The current opinion
among our party was that city property
could be bought there two years hence at
ess than halt the present figures. I am
aware that this would be rank heresy there
and hope our views were erroneous. 1
