Wot It in the Vtfo.
San Antonio, Aug. 38. John Ire
land, not the "sage ot Seguin," was
shot in the right eye last flight and is
laid up for repairs in the county jail.
He is a burly negro who for fifteen
years past has been the terror and the
pest of the neighborhood. He once
served a short term in the penitentiary,
and has been arrested for vagrancy
and having burglars' tools in his-pos-session
time out of mind. Officer
Dolan was informed this morning that
a wounded man had taken refuge in a
house near the Lone Star brewery;
going there he found the negro who
said that he had been warned by the
authorities to leave town, had intend
to leave town and was preparing to
go; that the rain came up and he was
looking for some place to lay his tired
head, poked it into what seemed to
him to be an empty house near San
Pedro springs, when "zip" a bullet
took him in the eye and knocked it
out. The simple truth appears to be
that he endeavored to burglarize some
body's residence and was shot. The
bullet struck him fairly in the nose,
and, glancing, tore out his right eye
ball, which hangs by a string. He re
fuses to allow the physician to re
move it.

Appeal to Conffrean.
The state Alliance at Dallas makes
the following appeal to Congress:
Dallas, Aug. 29. Hon. Richard
Coke: Dear Sir Each cotton state
has elected two delegates to appear
before congress on Sept. 1 to ask that
a special bill be at once passed re
moving the tariff from jute bagging.
Hon. Evan Jones, president of Texas
state alliance and the nominee of two
independent conventions for governor
of Texas, goes from here.
We believe a courteous reception of
said delegation and prompt action by
congress will greatly neutralize the in
dependent political movement in the
south. Repecfully. E. B. Warren.
Secretary Nation Alliance.
