Gen. Logan denies that he is preparing
a book for publication, and says he has

An English genius has invented an ap

New York tug boat owners are provid

bars, the Elida, have libelled the tug
Charles Alien, claiming $12,000 damages.
While the Allen was towing the bark to
sea the other day, the hawsers parted, and
the bark went aground, sustaining con
siderable injury, besides being delayed
several days.
There is no place in the aountry toat
needs a Democratic administration worse
than New Brunswick, N. J. It has had
three consecutive Postmasters to turn out
to be delaulters, the last one having been
removed last Saturday. Babcock, the
last incumbent, has been a Republican
for thirty years, and his ideas as to right
and wrong have, of course, been consid
erably fudckied.
It is stated that Blaine has at last re
ceived from Mrs. Garfield the letter writ
ten by Rev. Henry Ward Beecher urging
the appointment of the plnmed knight as
Secretary of State. This letter was sent
for last summer, but it could not then be
found. The only use that can be made of
it now is to file it away for reference in
the event Blaine gets the Republican
nomination in 18SS.
The tail of the British lion isn’t pointed
skyward at present. Tue universal
downheartedness is proved by the unani

against one article in the Times threaten

Herat. The St. .fumes'' Gazette, the
most Russophobe of all news
papers. describes an English “ireat

and folly. __
Col. E. W. Cole is having trouble with
his Lookout Mountain enterprise. There
is a dispute over the terms oi the condi
tional sale of the Whitesides land, and It
is thought to be very doubtful whether
the titles will be perfected so as to enable
the Colonel to build his proposed railroad
very soon. The Chattanooga Times says
Col. Cole has his heart set on this road,
and will not give up his plans as long as
there is a chance to effect a compromise.
Washington’s monument was inaugu
rated with a great deal of cold splendor,
and now it is proposed to complete the
tomb of his mother, which has for many
years been in an unfinished condition. It
is in the cemetery at Fredericksburg,
Virginia, and it is thought a lew thou
sand dollars expended on it will make It
a very creditable structure, and a worthy
resting place for the dust of the much
loved mother of the Father of His Coun

The great bridge l-etween New York
and Brooklyn is threatened with compe

to tunnel East river. It is claimed that
the tunnel can be built at one-filth the
cost of the bridge; that it will not ob
struct navigation; will not be affected by
storms: will cost veiy little to maintain;
cars can be operated on the pneumatic
principle, and the tunnel will afford pas
sage for water,- oil and gas pipes an.l tele
graphic cables. If it does not progress a
good deal faster than the North river tun
nel the bridge will have a monopoly Tor a
good many vears yet.
Some of the Republican papers not only
concede that Bayard will be at the bead
of Cleveland’s Cabinet, but now state
that the whole Cabinet will be made up of
men of his selection, with the exception,
perhaps, of Garland, who they say he
does not favor. It has not been long since
they were claiming that Randall’s handi
work would appear conspicuously in the
make-up of the Cabinet. Mr. Randall needs
to be saved from hia Republican friends,
who, while they left him a little Congress
ional district in reapportioning the State,
destroyed his hopes for future preferment
by about *I,OOO majority.
A Wrong Impression.
During the debate on the anti-contract
labor bill In the Senate, Mr. Morgan stated
that tne bill might be construed so as t--
prevent the negroes of the South from em
igrating North and competing with the
white laborers there in the mines, the
iron mills and on railroads, He wanted
the negroes to have every opportunity In
the struggle for existence that the white
jieople have. Mr. Morgan opposed the
anti-contract labor bill because he thought
it unconstitutional, and for other reasons.
Mr. Morgan has not been properly un
derstood with regard to the question of
the wages of workingmen. The impres
sion has got abroad that he wants wag 6
reduced. If he is rightly understood, he
wants nothing of the kind. He has in
sisted, and he still insists, that the ne
groes on the plantations receive more for
their labor in various ways than those
who find employment at the iron furnaces
at $1 50 a day. The life is much easier on
the plantation, and the cost of living is o
much less that plantation life ought to be
more attractive from every point of view.
The fact that it is not, and that the ne
groes seek the towns because there tfaej
get the cash for their work as fast as they
earn it. have led some of the Northern
papers into asserting that there is an an
tagonism in the south between agricultu
ral and manufacturing interests.
It is not easy to discover this antagon
ism from the remarks of Senator Morgan,
or from the fact that negroes prefer the cash
to the system of payment practiced on the
plantations. It is no doubt true that the
plantation negroes who cultivate little
patches of land, besides working on the
plantation on which they live, get more
real satisfaction out of life than those
who work for cash wages iu the towns.
The death rate is less and their general
health is better.
But it is only natural that some of the
negroes should be drawn away from the
plantations to the towns just as a per
centage of the white people annually find
their way to them. Only a small part of
the increase of the negroes, however, can
be provided for in the towns, and there is
therefore, no great danger that the growth
of manufacturing and mining interests in
the South will damage the agricultural
interests.
The system oi agriculture in the South
is gradually undergoing a change. A
glance at almost any county in this and
other Southern States shows that tne
great plantations are gradually disap
pearing. and are being replaced by small
iarnis. The work on the small farms
is done largely by white people. Every
vear a larger per cent, of the crops of the
South is made by white labor. The notion
that a white man cannot work in the cot
ton fields is exploded. If it were true,
therefore, that the agricultural interests
ot the south are suffering from the de
velopment of the manufacturing anil
mining interests it wiii not be many
years before the system of agriculture
will be so changed that the negroes who
leave the country districts for the loans
wi’l not be seriously missed.
Cold Weather Victims.
Pneumonia prevails to such an extent
in New York that the question is being
asked there whether it is contagious.
The physicians say that it is not. and if
much apprehension has existed on that
point they appear to have succeeded in
quieting it. •
In very many instances those who are
attacked by the disease have carelessly
exposed themselves, and in a majority of
cases that prove fatal the services of a
physician are not sought until the disease
has matte such headway that it is impos
sible to arrest it.
Professional and business men. after a
hard day’s work in a close room, take a
sleigh ride perhaps, and the result is they
are attacked by a serious cold, which
quickly develops into the lung lever.
Young people dance until the early hours
of t ic morning, and in an exhausted phy
sical condition expose -themselves for an
hour or so in reaching their homes. It is
not surprising that some ot them become
victims of pneumonia.
Ia the Northern cities the deaths from
pneumonia are almost enual to those
from consumption. It is not to be won
dered at. therefore, that the question
whether it is contagious is frequently
asked.
The only way to guard against it is to
avoid exposure and to dress in accord
ance with the weather. Where there is
a change of 40 or 50 degrees in twenty
four hours it is necessary to always have
plenty ol wraps at hand lor an emergen
cy. The penalty for carelessness and in
difference about being well protected
against the cold is very heavy.
We do not hear so much about pneu
monia in the South, not because it doesn’t
prevail in this section, but because there
is not so much care taken in gathering
the statistics in the smaller towns, and
because we do not pay so much attention
to those that are gathered. A few deaths
in a little town do not impress us like
many deaths in a big city.
There have, however, been many deaths
from pneumonia in this State this winter.
In almost every county paper each week
there have appeared notices of them. In
tact the frequency ol these pneumonia
death notices in the county papers have
been the occasion of remark. It has been
a hard winter in the South as well as in
the North, and the Southern winter has
not been withou* its cold weather vic
tims.
Foolish Strikers.
The operatives in the carpet factory at
Yonkers. New York, have, apparently,
done a very foolish thing. They have
struck for higher wages without having
given their employers a word of warning
and at a time when it is a matter of indif
ference to their employers whether the
factory is in operation or not.
The strikers number about 3.000, and
near! v all of them are women. It is rea
sonable to suppose that very few of them
have sufficient means to support them
selves in idleness for more than a month
or two. The cost of living is greater at
this season of the year than in summer.
Fuel alone costs considerable.
The immediate cause of the strike was
a reduction of 10 per cent, in wages,
which occurred last December. It is
stated that the question w hich presented
itselt to the managers of the factory in
December, was whether they should re
duce wages or close the factory. The
business was not meeting expenses. Con
sideration for the employes induced the
managers to keep the factory open, as it
was thought that the proposed reduction
would be sufficient to assist them through
the dull times.
From this statement it appears that the
strikers by their action have injured only
themselves. The factory is closed and
the source of the supply of bread for the
bread-winners is cut off.
It is not probable that the majority of
the operatives stopped work because they
thought that was their wisest course.
They felt, doubtless, that they had a
grievance. They had suffered a reduc
tion in their wages, and all who have
their wages reduced feel that they have a
grievance. The strike was brougnt about,
doubtless, by a few persons who exerted
a controlling influence over the opera
tives. Thev may or may not have leen
connected with the factory. They had a
point to make, perhaps, and having the
means to protect themselves against hun
ger and cold, induced thousands of women
to abandon their only meaus of support.
There will be doubtless great suffering
among the Y’onkers carpet weavers, and
many of them will bitterly regret their
hasty action. They are, however, entitled
to sympathy. If the facts are as they
have been reported, however, those who
got them into their unhappy predicament
deserve tbe severest condemnation.
A veterinary surgeon of Philadelphia
and three drovers have been arrested for
conspiracy in dealing in a nerd of cattle
afflicted with contagious pleuro-pneumo
nia. The cattle were sold and slaugh
tered and their flesh put on the market.
The system of food inspection in Phila
delphia Is very defective, and much un
wholesome food Is said to be sold daily in
that city. It is said that there are some
cities in tbe country that have no system
of food-inspection whatever. This state
ment looks unreasonable, yet it is believed
to be true.
Talmagc and the New Jersey Legis
lature.
The publication of an extract from a
sermon of Talmage by a Camden, New
Jersey, paper last week, in which mem
bers of the New Jersey House of Repre
sentatives were pretty severely criticised
for using language unbecoming gentle
men. caused much excitement and indig
nation in the lower branch of the Assem
bly of that State. A resolution hittiDg
Talmagc some pretty hard blows, and de
claring that he was more anxious for no
toriety than to benefit his fellow men was
proposed.
Before the resolution was voted on. how -
ever. it was discovered that the extract
-was from a sermon preached a year ago.
and had no reference to the present As
sembly.
The fact that the movers of the resolu
tion which was intended to belittle Tal
mate and weaken his influence did not
take the trouble to inform themselves
about the alleged sermon before attacking
him. shows that New Jersey Assembly
men do not rank very high as fair-minded
legislators. It is probable that the feeling
that they deserved all that Talmage pos
sibly could say about them influenced
them to try and set themselves straight
before the public by blackguarding the
Brooklyn preacher.
Tbe fact that they desisted when they
found out their mistake did not prevent
Talmage from addressing tbe Assembly a
very caustic letter. If the members had
not already inspected their ears with the
aid of a looking glass m order to satisfy
themselves that they did not belong to
the donkey breed of animals, they doubt
less made the inspection after they re
ceived Talmage’s letter.
In his letter Talmage, after quoting
from a well authenticated report the pro
fane language used by the Speaker and
certain members of the Assembly of 1884,
and their indecent behavior, which he
criticised in his sermon, he says:
Let me express mv utter contempt fot
the members who on the first occasion in
March, 1884. and who on the second occa
sion last Tuesday made such an assinine
exhibition of themselves. To what a
depth has the New Jersey Legislature
fallen! Shades of Samuel L. Southard
and William L. Dayton and Theodore
Frelinghuysen, “the three mighties” of
the past, "rebuke them! The language
used bv some of your members in
March, 1884, would disgrace a mule-driver
on tbe tow-paths of your Raritan canal.
You nave no right by your vulgar behav
ior to depreciate a State wnich many of
us are proud to call the place of our na
tivity, and in whose Legislatures have
been many whom we have loved and hon
ored, among them my own father. As to
your charge that l seek notoriety in at
tacking you, that is absurd. No one, for
such purpose, would assail such insignifi
cant men as those who went into that
legislative wrangle aDd Indulged in such
scurrility. 1 never saw their names be
fore, and’ probably will never see them
again unless I find them some morning in
the calendar of the police court. Surely,
if I wanted a reputation for skillful hunt
ing l would not go to shooting muskrats.
Talmage closes his letter with a series
of resolutions, which he advises the As
sembly to adopt. One of the resolutions
he calls a “mathematical problem.” It
is as follows:
If the report of an okl sermon, the con
tents of which I have forgotten, throws
New Jersey legislators into such con
sternation and paroxysm, how many
thousand feet into the air would they be
blown by anew sermon on legislative out
rages?
Talmage would do the people of many
ot tbe States and of the whole country a
service if he should devote a considerable
portion cf his time to “blowing up” not
only State Legislatures, but also Con
gress. A little more wholesome truth
telling with lespect to a large percentage
of national and State legislators couldn't
fail to do good.
Yesterday’s Fire.
The fire in Yamacraw yesterday recalls
the fact that less than a year and a half
airo a very destructive fire raged in that
part of the city. The damage yesterday
was not very great, being only about
$15,000. but the number of sufferers was
large. There were twenty-six houses
destroyed, the most of which possessed
very little value. They were occupied
mainly by very poor people, many of
whom perhaps will have difficulty in se
curing places of residence until the
burned district Is rebuilt.
It is only a question of time when all
the shanties In Yamacraw and Roberts
ville will be burned. A disastrous lire in
that part of the town is liable to occur at
any time. The difficulty with a tire there
is that when it once gets fairly started it
is next to impossible to stop it unless the
conditions are very favorable. It was a
question after the fire of October a year
ago whether it wouldn’t be wise to pro
hibit the building of wooden houses in
Yamacraw, and the tire of yesterday ap
pears to be an argument in the affirma
tive.
Ct’RHKNT COMMENT.
For Reforming the Apparatus.
New York Sun ( Ind.)
Everything has to be reformed in this
world, and it would not be surprising if the
whole of Mr. Dorman B Eaton's civil service
apparatus should be presently reformed out
of existence.
Will Save to be Enlarged.
Philadelphia Time* [lnd.i
When Frank Hatton goes out of the Post
Office Department there will not be much of

ever, to suit any good man President Cleve
land may select.
Should be Free from Alliances.
New York World (Dew.)
We lielieve that it would be well if the old
statute should be strengthened and extended
so as to insure for t'ue Republic judges, legisla
tors and officials who would have no interests
to guard but those of the whole people, and
no business to think of ex- ept the business of
the government they are sworn to conduct.
Denouncing the Dollar.
New York Tim*# [lnd. Rep.).
An extra session of Congress is for in any
reasons extremelv undesiraDlc But if the
silver men carry their obstinacy to the point
of forcing one. ive have good reason for be
lieving that their last condition will be con
siderably worse than their first. Democratic
faith in the eighty-six-cent silver dollar is not
likely to increase after the 4th of March.

Wedding outfits are frequently hired in
France, and many firms make a speciality of
letting bridal toilettes, including prayer book,
orange blossom wreath and dress. A most
sensible custom prevails Among the Swiss
peasantry of having bridal dresses made of
good black silk, thus providing the bride
with a handsome serviceable dress for future
wear.
A Washington Territory paper of recent
date contained the following extraordinal v
item: “Invitations to the deatti bed of Miss
Genevieve Smythe are now so much sought
after tifat she has several times been urged
to make them transferable. The family
physician thinks she will hold out about three
weeks yet before she will have the pleasure
of saying farewell to her friends, but we hope
not."
The officers of the torpedo station at Kew
liort. R. 1., experimented with some torpedoes
on the ice a few days ago. The water and ice
arose in a vertical column some 200 feet. The
holes blown in the ice clear about 35 or to feet
across, and it was shattered for some distance
beyond that. These torpedoes were said to be
charged with about 34 pounds of guncotton
caehr which is estimated to possess a force
equal to 200 pounds of gunpowder.
Pierre Lorillakp has a game preserve of
one hundred acres near .Tobstown, N. J. It is
surrounded by a high and close wire fence.
The preserve is full of Eng ish game birds,
imported by him from the country where he
races his horses. They includo English par
tridges and English pheasants. During the
last shooting season, which at .Tobstown was
limited to sixlv days, Mr. Lorillard and his
sporting friends killed 110 English partridges,
'•4 English pheasants, 900 quaii and many other
small birds, including one crow, said to lie
nearly 100 vears old. The foreign birds have
become acclimated and thrive and multiply
remarkably well.
Mi NCY, Pa., is alive with gossip over tho
strange conduct of Miss Emma Davidge, aged
23 years. Miss Davidge a few days since had
her fortune told, and among many other things
was instructed to swallow the raw heart of a
chicken, and she should marry the first man
she shook hands with. After attempting the
feat the heart became wedged in her throat
and the girl began to gasp and choke. Her
father passing her room at that time and see
ing her struggle tried to remove the obstacle,
but without avail. Medical aid was sum
moned. and after great difficulty the physi
cian removed the obstruction. Tbe girl, how
ever, received injuries which may cause her
death.
A family iu Manchester, N.H., were the
happy possessors of a stock of wine which had
been mellowing for 30 years, and had reached
the point of almost absolute perfection. A
few davs ago the master of the household es
sayed to test the quality of the wine, but on
going to the cellar discovered that the bottles
bad been emptied of their contests and water
substituted. How long this condition of af
fairs had existed is not known, but the theft
of the wine, it is believed, can be traced to a
party of workmen who were called to the
cellar to make repairs last summer.
We have reduced the time for cabling to
London to the minimum, says a member of the
Cable Company. Although it has to be re
peated at Yalentia, an ordinary message is
ready for delivery on the banks of the Thames
from thirtv seconds to a minute and a half
after the Sew York operator lias begun send
ing it. The answer is received as quickly.
The repeating on the Irish coast is done by
two operators at adjoining desks, who re
spectively write down and dispatch each word
the instant it is received, should there be a
rush, a third man is ready to take care of the
extra work. Time is practically annihilated.
We have cabled over and received answers so
promptly that people were loth to iwlieve
them genuine. Has the" Bennett-Mackay
competition affected our business - Not in the
least. On the other hand, we do more work
than before.
“Senator LnacsDs is passionately ad
dicted to onions," said a lady who goes camp
ing with him every season. “His craze for
the pungent, pestiferous vegetable is simply
awful—l never saw anything like it. When
he starts off for his annual holiday in the
woods he has an enormous supply of onions
among the stores provided for the trip, auil
then every farm house he comes to he wants
to stop and buy a few more onions, until
every one feels* as though he belonged to an
ouion caravan. While be is in camp his morn
ing meal is an onion and a Graham cracker;
for his luncheon he takes a Graham sandwich
and an oaion ; his dinner consists of meat and
onione:" In this inordinate appetite for
onions may lie found an explanation of the
dark and mysterious hints as to the personal
habits of Senator Edmunds, which fornud
the basis of theVua's opposition to him as a
possible Republican nominee for President.
Senator Garland drinks little, if any
thing. Some people say he is a teetotaler, but
ibis is probably putting it pretty strongly.
Anyhow, he is a very temperate man. And
he tells frankly how’he came so. “I know all
about the taste of it," he said one time, ex
plaining why he kept hands off, “but 1 am
•lone. I’ll tell you why. I bad a pretty hot
canvass in onr State a few years ago, and took
the stump, traveling pretty well over the
State, in a good many places that I hadn’t
been for years. 1 found a good many graves
of men who started in life with me and a good
many wrecks of men who were jolly gooti fel
lows when X started out a few years liefore.
They had come from whisky. It set me to
thinking, and 1 concluded to quit. I made a
little calculation, too. and found that 1 had al
ready drank probably a barrel and a half
more’ than my share,’and that every drink
that I took was just robbing some other fellow
of his share. And so I quit.’’
A Virginia City (Ne*>.) paper says: “The
cnergetie hissing nightly accorded to the
heavy villain in the melodrama now running
st the Baldwin reminds old residents of the
first theatrical performance ever given in
Virginia City. Most of the miners had not
seen a play for a score of years, and when the
Johnstone’ troupe opeueii in “Othello” tbe
house presented a packed mass of red shirts.
Edwin Booth was the lago, and so faithfully
did he portray the traitorous friend that the
audience lost control of itself, and in the sec
ond act began shooting at the fell conspira
tor. One shot struck Othello’s sword hilt,
and all hands had to lie down on the stage
and roll into the wings. The indignant miners
were finally quieted and the play proceeded,
but tbe final den moment was so taken to
heart by the spectators that Booth remained
in the theatre all night for fear of the vigi
lantes, who talked seriously of lynching the
•cold-blooded cuss’ off hand.”
A writer in the Mayaein fur die Literatur
des Auslamle states that Parisian street slang
is being continual!/ enriched by appropria
tions from the German. He gives a catalogue
of recent additions to the argot of Paris from
German sources. “It seems to us.” says the
Pall Mall (latent, “that he annexes a great deal
which is just as likely to have been originally
English. Tbe modern Parisian 'bode for a
glass of tieer is indisputably German; but
aurelv it was not from the choucroutier, llie
sauekraut eater, as the Paris gamin nicknames
the German, that lie learned to call for ‘bit
ter.’ The word ‘gaffer,’ a new- piece or Paris
slang, has probably been learned from Eng
lish grooms or workmen, amt there is no nerd
to derive it from the German verb 'gaffen.'
It is equally doubtful whether the Germans
have more right than the English to claim Hie
original of the Parisian ‘s’and’—the spot from
which aim is taken at the target. ‘Biehot’

MARSHAL GOSLING KILLED.
A Lively Shooting Affray in Which Two
Prisoner* Escape.
San Antonio, Tkxas, Feb. 21.—A
shooting affray occurred to-day on the In
ternational train from Austin to this place,
resulting in tbe instant death of I’nited
States Marshal Gosling aud tbe probable
fatal wounding of others. The particulars
ot tbe tragedy are gleaned from William
Lambert. Secretary of the Texas Live
Stock Association, who made the trip
from Austin in Gosling’s company. He
said for some time past two mail robbers
have been ou trial st Austin The of
fense for which they were arraigned
was the robbery of Smithwick Mills
post office, iu Burnett county. Their
nam°s are Pitts and Yeager. They
are members of the gang of which the
Brannons, lately slain in Missouri, were
leading spirits. Their numerous friends
and relatives have packed the halls of
justice since the commencement of the
trial. They were yesterday convicted
and sentenced for lite and placed under
the charge of Marshal Gosling, who
started with them for ‘-an Antonio to-day.
“We left Austin at 4:30 o’clock,” said
Mr. Lambert. “Before leaving I heard
Gosling say in reply to a question from
one of his deputies: ‘Tell Pitts I will let
his wife go with him the whole way to
San Antonio.’ Gosling had the two pris
oners manacled together by the wrist*,
and in company with Deputies Manning
and Looring got on tbe train. Friends of
the prisoners also got on tne train, in
cluding Mrs. I’itts, wile of one ot the
prisoners, who sat beside him; Miss
Yeager, a girl of 18, sister of the prisoner
Yeager, Pitts’ mother, Mrs. Pitt9’mother,
Brannon, a brother of the slam Missouri
desperado, and about five other
men. One of the deputies had
warned Gosling that an attempt
at escape would be made, but
he paid no attention to it, and went into
the ladies’ car. During his absence I saw
Mrs. Pitts and Miss Yeager pick up a
small black valise and go with it into the
ladies’ car. Presently Gosling returned,
ar.d the women came after him, resuming
their lorrner positions. Mrs. Pitts had her
arm around her husband’s neck. Gosling
sat in front of me. I saw his pistol pro
ti uding from luside his vest. Wheu told
of it he laughed and pushed it further in.
I was looking out ot the window when 1
hoard a noise. I can’t say what. I turned
and saw Pitts, whose right hand was free,
in the act ot bringing” down his pistol.
Yeager held his pistol in his left band.
The two fired at Gosling simultaneously.
He had half risen from his seat and was
feeling for his pistol, bat sank back again
without a murmur. Manning and Loor
ing had their weapons out and the firing
grew general. The car was crowded.
“The reports of the pistol shots were in
cessant, and the smoke filled the com
partment so densely it was almost impos
sible to see the forms of the men, and
women could be dimly discerned as they
sank to the ground, but who was killed
or who was killing could not be learned.
1 heard Maiming say. who was then stag
gering from a wound, ‘l’ll get every one
of them,' but his pistol hung fire. He was
shot again and fell to the floor. Looring
and the conductor were getting in their
work, b-t the prisoners who were still
shooting bore a charmed life. Tbe
women sank to tbe floor aud pa
tiently waited the result of the desperate
battle. Iu the hurry and excitement of
the moment Pitts and Yeager, still chained
together, waving their pistols over their
beads, reached the door and sprang to the
ground from the rushing train. As they
struck the earth they fell, aud a passen
ger fired at them, and says he struck one
of them. They disappeared in the woods.
Re-entering the car I found that Mrs.
Pitts’ mother, who weighs ”00 pounds,
was shot through the stomach and was
dying; Miss Y'eager was shot twice, once
in the leg and once in the hip, and Deputy
-Marshal John Manning was shot in the
neck and left shoulder. He is badly
wounded. Gosling lay dead across the
cushioned seats.”
The affray happened four miles from
New Braunfels, and whin the . train
reached there the wounded women and all
of Pitts’ friends were put off. The wo
men were placed where medical aid could
be given, and the men were lodged in jail.
Deputy Marshal Manniug and Marshal
Gosling’s body were brought here. Depu
ty Marshal "Looring got off at New
Braunfels, formed a posse, and immedi
ately started in pursuit of the criminals.
Cap’t. Sheely, of the State troops, is also
there and oil a hot trail.
United States Marshal Gosling was a
native of Tennessee and entered upon
his duties during the present adminis
tration. He was about 35 years old and
leaves a widow and two children. He
was an old newspaper man and a promi
nent Republican politician in this section.
Of Pitts and Yeager little is known except
that they have been for a longtime notori
ous road agents, and were r-n down by
United States officers.
