Mrs. S. Maxnn, who has been
vtoiting her mother, Mrs. Kings
bury, and other relatives in
Brownsville for some time, left
tiki morning for Galveston. She
was accompanied by her sister,
Mrs. E. C. Forto, who will visit
the family of her brother, M. B.
Kingsbury, before they sail for
their new home at Havana.
S. Booth, of Alice, who
presides over the sanctum sanc
torum of the Alice Echo, was an
arrival in Brownsville Saturday.
Mr.- Booth, besides being a news
paper man, is also' an inventor,
and has perfected an acetylene
gas generator which is pronounc
ed a complete success by those
who have seen the machine in
operation. The gentleman is com
biniug business and pleasure and
talking up the merits of his in
vention while in the city.
A Sad Death.
One of the saddest deaths that
has occurred in Brownsville in
many a day was that of little Nettie,
one of the twin daughters of Mrs.
and Mrs. B- E. Thomas, of Run,
which occurred last Saturday night.
The parents started from home
Saturday morning to bring the
other twin, little Lottie, who had
been sick for two weeks, to Browns
ville for medical treatment. When
the family reached Harlingen, lit
tle Nettie was in the best of health,
romping and playing with her
brother over the platform at the
depot. About eight o'clock she
was taken sick, and although all
was done that was possible, the
death angel hovered near and at 7
o'clock Saturday the spirit of lit
tle Nettie winged its flight to Him
who said" Suffer little children to
come unto Me, and forbid them
not, for of such is the kingdom of
heaven." The little girl was a
lovely child, and with her twin
sister was the light of the home;
just beginning to take notice of
the wonderful world which she
had brightened for one short year
and thirteen days, the maker cull
ed the little flower from its earthly
garden to blosom In the garden of
God. Cholera infantum was the
dread disease which sapped the
little life, and brought grief to
parents and brothers and sisters.
May an all-wise creator bring con
solation to the afflicted family, is
the sincere wish of This Herald,
which is joined in b3f the mawy
friends of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
in Brownsville.
The remains were carried to Run
on the 1 o'clock train and will be
laid to rest in the cemetery there.

A MATTER OF HEALTH

HAS JtO SUBSTITUTE
COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Corporal Thorpe, of Company K, Fort
, Brown, Snoots Woman and Then
" Kills Himself.
This morning about 1 :30 o'clock,
two pistol shots rang out in the
vicinity of the county jniJ. Inves
tigation revealed the dead body of
Corporal Thorp, of Co. K, Fort
Brown, lying in the street, and a
few feet away a woman named
Librada, who is well known around
town, was found with a pistol
wound in the left breast just above
the heart, which may prove fatal.
Genaro Padr6n, who with two
other women, was walking down
the street with the Librada wo
man, was wounded in the leg by
the same bullet that entered the
breast of the wounded woman. The
soldier then placed the muzzle of
the gun in his own mouth and fir
ed, the bullet penetrating the brain
and lodging beneath the scalp on
top of the head. Death was almost
instantaneous. It is not known
exactly what the trouble was about,
but witnesses testified that Thorp
followed the women from a dance
near the post last night, and when
a block beyond the jail he called
to the Librada woman, and she
stepped off the sidewalk into the
ditch beside the walk and asked
what was wanted. The soldier re
plied that he wanted to see her.
Librada replied that she wanted
nothing to do with him, where
upon the soldier ptoduced a pistol
and fired two shots which did the
work mentioned above. Doubtless
thinking he had killed the woman
Thorpe then proceeded to finish
Jiis work by putting a bullet
through his own head. Reports
say there had beeu trouble a few
days ago, and the shooting last
night was the outcome. Tiik Hf.r
ald is unable to learn whether or
not Corporal Thorpe had expressed
any intention of committing the
fatal deed, or became angered by
the woman's refusal to talk to him,
and fired the fatal shots in the heat
of passion.
. An inquest was held last night
by Judge Gavito sitting as coroner,
and verdict was rendered in ac
cordance with the above.
Cornoral Thome enlisted in
Chicago where his pcopl. reside,
and was about 24 years old. The
remains are at the Brownsville
Undertaking company's establish
ment aw'aiting instructions from
his relatives. If no instructions
are received the body will be laid
to rest in the National cemetery.
The Hkrald was pleased to meet
this morning G. B. Meserve, an
exnerienced truck grower from
Fort Bend county, who has decid
ed to plant a few test crops here

was here some two months ago and
became so . favorably impressed
with this territory as an early pro
duciug section, and di not let the
knocKers scare mm on, qui corner
back to try for himself the merits!
of this country. The gentlemen
will conduct his fanning operations
on the Blalack farm and The
Hxkald feels already assured that
