Gone to Join Buffalo Bill.
Omaha, Neb., August 19.—John
Kane, a popular barkeeper of this
city, left to-day for New York,
from whence he will sail by the
first steamer for Europe. He goes
in response to a letter from the
Hon. W. F. Cody, stating that it
has been decided to add a typical
frontier American bar to the at-
tractions of the Wild )Vest show,
and asking him to come and take
charge of it.
The letter which brought him
his commission also contained a
schedule of Buffalo Bill’s move-
ments, starting lrom London Sep-
tember 1, and progressing east-
ward to San Francisco, pausing
here and there en route so as to
spread the trip over eighteen
months. On leaving the English
capital the show makes a six
months’ stand in Paris, whence it
goes to Vienna, Rome, Constanti-
nople, Jerusalem, China, Australia
and other points.
Rough Experience of a riii^rojTi.
Greenville, III., August 19.
Chas. Crawford, the young man
who yesterday married Miss Sarah
Long, of Sorento, in this county,
has gotten himself into serious
trouble thereby. When the couple
• returned to Sorento the girl’s Irate
father tore her away and had
Crawford placed under bonds to
preserve the peace. This morning
he instituted further suit against
his son-in-law by appearing before
Svuire Chittenden, the magistrate
who performed the marriage cere-
mony of yesterday, and procuring
a warrant charging him (Craw-
ford) with perjury in swearing that
the girl was of legal aje, when she
. is only 17.
A constable is now out to serve
the warrant, and what fate awaits
the adventurous groom is hard to
say, but the old man maintains
possession of the bride and pro-
p es to make his enforced rela-
tionship very uncomfortable to the
young man. Miss Long’s family
are highly respectable people, and
she is the granddaughter of “Un-
cle” Peter Long, the patriarch of
ministers in this county. Craw-
ford is a rather wild fellow, but has
not been supposed to be really bad.
A Wealthy Man Assassinated.
Omaha, Neb., August 19.—Mea-
ger details were receivedthis even-
ing that on Sunday evening at 9:30
while Mr. O.B. Seldon,of Manville
Wyo., was writing in his office
some unknown person fired a shot
through the window, the ball enter-
ing Mr. Seldon’sbreast, killing him
instantly. A second shot was fired
at Mrs. Seldon, but the ball missed
her, passed through an open door,
through a partition, from there to
the ceiling and dropped on the
floor. Deputy Sheriff Owen was
notified, and lie left immediately
for Manville, and up to the present
time has made no arrest.
Mr. Seldon’s body will arrive
here to-morrow. He has a brother
here, a lawyer. He came to Oma-
ha in 1854, and by speculating in
real estate amassed a fortune of
between $250,i 00 and $300,000. He
lived here from 18.51 until about
two years ago, when, on account of
his wife’s ill health, he moved to
Wyoming and laid out the town of
Manville.
His brother is satisfied that the
facts, when obtained, will reveal
that his brother was murdered for
his money, as it was the custom of
the deceased to keep large sums
about the house without any effort
at concealment, and despite the
expostulations of his friends. Mr.
Seldon was at the time of his death
a director of the Omaha Commer-
cial National Bank.
Desperate Fight for a Prisoner.
Little Rock, Ark., August 19.
—This afternoon, while the sheriff
of of Sevier county was attempting
to arrest Jesse Harwood on the
charge of murder he was resisted
by several of the murderer’s friends
who began shooting. The sheriff
retired to get help, and soon re-
turned with half a dozen friends.
A sharp melee ensued, in which
two men were dangerously wound-
ed. Harwood was captured and
lodged in Jail. A mob is gathering
and a move will be.made to release
him from custody.
The sheriff has re-inforcoments
about the Jail and is prepared to
resist a force of 500 men, but it is
thought more than this number
will gather from the Indian Terri-
tory. If so, bloodshed is certain to
result. It is expected the two men
shot to-day will die.
A Probably Fatal Fall.
Chester, III.. August 19.—For

509 ground. His family ran to his as-
»rn- sistance and fouhd him unconsci-
ous, in which sta^ he has remain-
ed up to this time. He has had
several severe convulsions to-day,
and Dr. Gordon, wh<^ was called,
found that he had sustained a con-
cussion of the brain and is badly
injured internally. He entertains
no hope of his recovery.

Death from Fire Damp.
Springfield, Mo., August 19.—
J. M. Gaba, a carpenter and well
digger, lost his life this morning
while digging a well for Thomas
8. Wilson, five miles nordi ol this
city. While at the bottom of the
well 30 feet deep he was overcome
by fire damp, and Geo. Bowers, a
young man 18 years old, went
down after him, but both fell back.
Michael Coplinger then went down
and first brought up Bowers, whose
head was badly hurt by the fall.
He then went after Gaba, and, af-
ter great difficulty and delay, the
two were drawn to the top. Gaba
was dead, and Bowers and Coplin-
ger were both badly injured, but
will recover.
Big Blaze at Burnet.
Burnet, Tex., August 19.—A fire
broke out last night in Whitney &
Holman’s drug Store, a two story
stone building, which was burned
to the ground in less than an hour.
A one-story rock building, owned
by County Clerk D. L. Luce and
occupied by W. R. Gilbert with a
grocery stock, was also burned, and
other buildings damaged before
the fire was got under control.
Whitney & Holman’s loss is about
$11,000; insurance as follows: Phoe-
nix, $1500; East Texas, $1750; Penn-
sylvania, 1700; Hartford $840;
Home, $840: Liverpool and London
and Globe, $750; Fire Association
of Philadelphia, $750. Total, $8130.
W. R. Gilbert’s loss on stock, $500;
no insurance.
A. S. Haber, damage to adjoin-
ing building $500; fully covered by
insurance.
Jeff Breazeal, damage to building
and fixtures, small; covered by in-
Burance.
Dr. G. C. Christian, office in
Whitney A Holman’s building, loss
$1000; no insurance.
Dr. James S. Watson, loss, $3000
in books, notes and accounts; no
insurance.
Drs. J. A. Culberson and T. C.
Cheatham also lost their books and
instruments; loss not estimated.
The origin of the fire is a myste-
ry. ATr. Whitney had just closed
his drug store and started to his
residence, in the northern part of
town. The only theory is that of
spontaneous combustion from some
kind of chemicals.

Blind Tom’s' Guardianship.
Washington, D. C., August 20.
—Blind Tom, the musical freak, is
of very weak mind, and under the
law his control becomes the sub-
ject of any chancery Judge that can
jet jurisdiction over his case. He
has been living f>r a long time
near Warrenton, Va., with Gen.
Bethune his committee. As he is
rati d as a child his domicile is, in
law, with his mother. His mother
now resides in New York, and that
gave a New York judge the right
tq select his committee, and on his
mother’s motion, Mrs. Eliza Be-
thune, of New York, was not long
since appointed his committee. It
took an order of the United States
court to have the transfer made,
and, Judge Bond having made that
order, Tom was brought to Alexan-
dria, Va., near Washington, and
was yesterday afternoon delivered
to the agent of the new committee,
to be carried to New York. He
stoutly opposed the transfer, and at
first proposed to fight rather than
go; but after a good dinner, prom-
ises that he should return were
made, and he was gotten, evidently
very reluctantly, to go with his
mother and the New Agent to the
New York train.

Killed by a Falling Derrick.
Dallas Tex., August 19.—While
a force of men were hoisting a
wind-mill on Capt. W. H. Lem-
mon’s place, on McKenney road,
two miles from the city, yesterday
forenoon, the derrick fell, catching
under it Warren Quattlebaum,and
killing him. His head and shoul-
ders were found to be crushed,
when his body was extricated. It
is stated that Quattlebaum, who
was superintending the work, caus-
ed the derrick to fall by pulling on
the wrong rope through mistake.

A Novel Suit Instituted.
Paducah, Ky., August 20.—The
lawyers here ere preparing the
papers in a big suit against the
tiity and the Paducah Water Com-
pany as joint defendants. On June
18 a fire here destroyed $300,000 or
$400,000 worth of property. . The
victims claim thut the pressure in
the water works stand-pipe was
not up to the number of pounds re-
quired by law, and that for this
reason the flames secured headway
and were permitted to destroy
their buildings, and they claim that
it was the city’s business to see
that the legal pressure was main-
tained, and that the company was
guilty of culpable carelessness, in
the matter.
The suit will be an important
one, involving points as to the lia-
bility of corporations never previ-
ously before the courts of this
state. All parties are well-heeled
flnan dally, and the case will be
stubbornly contested throughout,
and probably, as the water supply
company is an organization opera-
ting under the laws of Maryland,
will go to the supreme court of the
United States,
Settling an Old Grudge.
Omaha, Neil, August 20.—Jas.
W. Menefee and W. C. Porter, both
colored, came to Omaha from Chi-
cago several weeks ago. An old
feud existed between them, but
since living in Omaha they had ap-
parently bridged over the old
grudges. Last night the two and
Green Winsted were on their way
to Porter’s room on Twentieth and
Chicago streets, when Porter
denlydrew a revolver ni.J .i..J
two shots in rapid succession at
Menefee’s head. One of the balls
took effect in the fellow’s chin, and
the other grazed the flesh on his
ribs. Porter escaped. A warrant
for his arrest has been issued.
Killed in a Storm.
Nogales, Ariz., Augqet 20.—A
terrific gale of wind, accompanied
by heavy rain and bail, passed
over Calabasas, ten miles west of
Nogales, at 12 o’clock to-day. Mrs.
Manuel Quigada, a widow, whose
husband was murdered last June
oy Mora ban, the mail contractor,
with her three children, had taken
refuge in an unoccupied store build-
ing, being driven from their home
by the recent floods.
The wind completely demolished
the building, burying the family
in the ruins. The wind blew in the
front of the store, when the mother,
with a baby in her arms, followed
by the other two children, 2 and 4
years old, started to go out the
rear of the building, and had just
reached the door when the rear and
side walls fell.
The little girl, 2 years old was
injured by falling brick and died
soon after being dug out. The old-
est girl was badly stunned and
bruised, but it is thought she will
recover.
The baby was hit in the head by
a brick, but was wrapped up so that
it sustained no serious injury. Mrs.
Quigada was badly hurt about the
head and face, but not dangerous-
ly-
The hailstones that fell during
the storm were the largest ever
seen in this part of the country.
Two Girls Abducted.
Centra lia, III., August 20.—
Considerable excitement was cre-
ated here to-day over the abduc-
tion of Miss Clara Hodges, of Lit-
tle Prairie, and Miss Alice Claw-
son, of Rome, by a number of young
men of this city-and some in the
neighborhood where they resided.
The girls are botli less than 16 years
of age, and of respectable families.
They were enticed away from
home Sunday night, and were found
here by ther parents last night and
taken home.
Rev. Clawson, father of one of
the girls, swore out warrants
against Dr. Bruce, of Rome, and
Logan Aldrich and Max Draper, of
this city. Dr. Bruce was taken into
custody this afternoon and gave
bond for his appearance. The offi-
cers are searching for the others
connected with the affair.
out that it was a case of mistaken
identity, and the lowly proved to be
that of Mrs. Ira J. Hicks, of Chilii-
cothe, Illinois.
I will be remembered that the
remains of Mrs. Hicks could not
be found, and her husband had is-
sued a circular letter giving a
minute description of her and her
dress, which was posted up here
and at other places, and which led
to the exhuming of the body to-
day. The remains were fully iden-
tified to-day as those of Mrs. Hicks
by her father. Her remains were
forwarded to her home at Chilli-
cothe to-day. It is thought the
mistake in the case of Mis. Hicks
occurred in the-boxing of her re-
mains at Chatsworth by placing
the name of Mrs. Clay on the box
containing her remains.
The body of a lady unidentified,
and which was buried at Peoria a
few days ago, is believed by some
to be the remains of Mrs. Clay.
Suicide of George H. Churchill.
San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 22.—
George H. Churchill, a native of St.
Louis, committed suicide last night
in lodgings in this city by taking a
dose of chloral hydrate. Churchill
told one of the other roomers last
evening that he intended killing
himself, but no attention was paid
to the matter. When the landlady
went to his room this morning.with
a letter, she found him dead in bed,
with a pipe resting on his bossom.
It was evident from the position of
the body that, after taking the
poison, Churchill lit his pipe and
sat down on the edge of the bed to
smoke. His feet touched the floor,
and between them was a cuspidor.
In the room were forty-eight empty
vials of sulphate of morphia, while
on the table were several letters
addressed to his friends, bidding
them go'id-bye. Churchill made
sure that there would be no mis-
take as to the cause of his death, by
leaving a letter to the Coroner,
closing with these lines for an
epitaph:
Here unfortunate Churchill lies,
Nobody laughs, nobody cries,
Where he’s gone, how ho tares,
Nobody knows, nobody cares.
He was born at St. Louis Feb-
uary 20, 1847. No one at the lodg
ing bouse knew anything about
him, except that he had been sick
for several weeks.

Senator Voorhees Taking a Vacation.
Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 22—A
distinguished looking gentleman,
with a duster thrown carelessly
over his arm, attracted considera-
ble attention at the Union Depot
this morning, as he walked
leisurely upanddown the platform.
It was Bonator Dun Voorhees, of
Indiana, “The Tall Sycamore of
the Wabash.” Senator Voorhees
is accompanied by John E. Lamb,
ex-Congressman, and at present
United States District Attorney for
the Southern District of Indiana.
These two gentlemen are on their

Wrecked by a Cyclone.
Republican City, Neb., Aug.,
22.—A cyclone from the north
struck here about 4 o’clock this
evening. It began with a strong
wind. Every brick building in
town is wrecked. The brick sphool
house in course of erection was
blown down, burying seven work-
men. Five were injured, and J. J.
Limning and a man named Allen
killed. The damage will reach
$50,000.
Two of the injured men will
probably die. II. II. Wetherel’s
house was blown away, and his
w ife and childred buried in the
debris, and all more or less injured.
Several other buildings were carri-
that convenes in October. A cane
brake about two mile from Duncan
was the counterfeiters’ rendezvous.
Summarilly Dealt With.
Raleigh, N. C., August 22.—Un-
precedented excitement has been
aroused among the negroes near
the little town of Dunn, in Harnett
county. Yesterday morning the
body of an unknown negro man
was found in a deep pool in Black
river, a small and sluggish stream
which runs through that section.
The man’s hands and feet were tied
together, and a rope was mound his
neck. It was found that he was
Alsey Markham, who not many
years ago came into that neighbor-
hood. An investigation of the mat-
ter was made, and it was found
that last Tuesday night a white
man named E. G. Harris had dis-
covered Harris in the very act of
assaulting Harris’ young daughter.
Harris marched the brute before
him to the house of a neighbor,
others were soon gathered, and it
was decided to make an example
of the negro and to make fish bait
of him, as me of the lynchers sug-
gested. So Markham was securely
tied, taken to a deep pool in the
river and thrown in. No one re-
grets his fate, as he was detested
by both races.

A Times reporter yesterday call-
ed upon a number of our leading
citizens and property owners to
learn their views and opinions on
the pending water question, more
especially with reference to the
committee report submitted by
Messrs T. C. Wright, A. F. Bentiy
and W. H. Craine, which was pub-
lished in full two days ago.
The result of tae reporter’s inqui-
ries is as follows:—Alderman W.
R. Wallace; I endorse the commit-
tee’s report from beginning to
end.
Felix Schram, merchant; I think
the recommendations ?-f the com-
mittee good.
Geor e A. Helm, trainmaster
Gutf, Colorado and Santa Fe Rail-
way; If this town expects to do
anything it had better get water
and get it quick. I think the .plan
proposed by the committee the best
and only practicable means of se-
curing a permanent and abundant
water supply for the city.
Capt. Joe A. Harris, alderman;
If the committee has made the cor-
rect calculation on the amount
need'd to complete the work of
securing water from the Leon, say
$15,000, i think the money can be
readily raised by the* citizens of
Temple and would regard it as well
expended in laying a main to the
river. Every property owner here,
in my opinion, could afford to con-
tribute liberally to such an end,
even to the extent, if necessary, of
giving one-fourth his property to
secure an abundant v'ater supply.
The burden should be borne equal-
ly by all, rich and poor, and those
most able should contribute most.
W. 8. Banks, attorney; The sug-
gestions of the committee are the
only sensible and practical conclu-
sion which could be arrived at to
procure water for the city.
Mayor Augustus Lewy; The Le-
on is the place for Temple to get
water.
Aldermiin J. J. Stephens; I
think the committee recommends
the only practicable plan to secure
water for the city bu1; believe that
the amount necessary to do this
should be raised by an equal assess-
ment upon each and every citizen,
according to his wealth and prop-
erty interests in the city. There
is no source of water supply this
side of the Leon that can be al-
ways depended upon.
Chief Pink L. Downs, of the
'Iemple Fire department; The in-
terest of the city demands imme-
diate action in this matter of get-
ting water. I think the plan pro-
posed by the committee the best
and most feasible and further I fa-
vor getting a bountiful supply of
water for the city at any cost.
Capt, George E. Willcox, of the
water company; I think the re-
port of the committee opens the
only feasible and practical plan and
that the people of Temple are am-
ply able to carry out the sugges-
tions made in the report, Che wa-
ter works will fall into line on any
plan that will insure water for the
city.
Dan Dickson, merchant; I think
the plan recommended by the com-
mittee the bes* yet, if it can be ex-
ecuted, but of this I have doubts,
unless tiie Water works stockhold-
ers, themselves will take more
stock. It must be pushed by the
work of good strong committees.
E. W. Sherrill, merchant; The
report was what I expected. Noth-
ing new in it. The Leon river is
the only possible water supply.
The people of Temple can raise the
requisite cash aud only half try.
They must do it or do worse.
Dr. W. L. Rogers; I think the
committee made a wise l eport. If
Temple’s citizen could raise $18,000
formerly for the present works,they
should be able to raise $15,000 now
to go to the Leon with.
W. E. Willis, druggist; I like
the report of the committee; they
covered the ground and the citi-
zens ought to raise the money
easily. If thay will put up for an-
other railroad they certainly should
put up for water works to retain
the advantages we now have. I
am in.
J. B. Nunneley, merchant; the
ground is fully covered by the com-
mittee’s report, and the Leon river
is the only available lasting water
supply I know of. The necessary
money can be raised if the people
will come do\4’n liberally. I am
willing to do my part. I have
$1,100 of water works stock now
and will take $500 more. ,
T. L. Hollingsworth, merchant;
I approve r> port, but think and ar-
tesian well should bo tried. I am
filling to increase my stock in the
water works from $500 to $750.
A. I). Rather, furniture dealer;
I think a city is nothing without
a permanent and abundant water
supply and am willing to do my
part toward securing such a.supply
for Temple. I think the Leon is
the place for us to go for lasting
water.
C. L. McCay, banker; I don’t
think a sufficient water supply can
be iiad anywhere short of the Leon
river, but times are a little hard to
raise $15,000, but 60 days later that
sum can be easily raised. I think
the salvation of our city depends
upon securing a permanent and
sufficient supply of water. I en-
dorse the committee's report and
second the move heart and soul
and will be at the meeting Satur-
day night with a good subscription.
