Hone Provoke* an Attack.
Gaine* villa, Hn . Juno 91 Quite n row
Oivuitol Monday in front of Endel &
Bros ' store, between some nogro women
•tut Mr Cato, tax collector of the county,
and his friends. Blood was she'd on both
sides. The affair caused a largo crowd to
gather and lln're was preat excitement
Tilt no>rro woman was arrest'd after all
the wounds were bound up It is said
that Mr. Cato had a horse missing tor a
number of days, and at last found it
locked up in a lot in Scuffle town. On Sun
day morning last he sent two Of his sons
to get the horse. When the lads found
the horse he was locked up, as stated,
looking gaunt and as if he had been
worked or ridden severely. The hoys
proceeded to tear down the fence and
turned the horse out. The uogress, Nel
lie Stewart, who was wounded yesterday,
and who was at home when the boys
released the horse, yelled and a crowd of
her colored friends quickly came to her
aid, and following up the lads beat them
and set their dogs upon them, threaten,
ing at the same time to lynch. Tom Cato
was bitten several times by the dogs so
badly that he was unable to move on his
feet yesterday. Yesterday morning while
the elder Cato was walking with one of
his sons near Endel & Bros.' store the
latter pointed out Nellie Stewart as the
woman who had set the dogs upon them
the day before. Upon being asked to
give her name by Mr. Cato, with a view
to having her arrested, she refused and
moved off. Mr. Cato tried to detain her
by catching hold of her dress. A brother
of the woman, who was near, was ap
pealed to by her for protection. The ne
gro man pushed Mr. Cato and was struck
by the latter, who is a one-armed man.
At this point two other negroes interfered
and were as promptly set upon by the
friends of Mr. Cato and severely pun
ished. The woman, having secured a
brick, dealt Mr. Cato a blow with it,
which was returned by Mr. Cato with a
stout stick. A great number of whites
assembled at the place and the combat
ants withdrew. Soon after a crowd of
white men went to Scuffletown, armed
with shotguns, and killed six dogs,
hought to lie the ones which inflicted
the wounds upon Mr. Cato's son.
A. J. Abbot and Jennings Feltner went
bail for Nellie Stewart and she will have
a preliminary trial to-morrow for assault
with intent to murder. The negroes are
very much excited, and some of them
have been heard to make threats of burn
ing and lynching. Friends of Mr. Cato
guarded his homo last night. Tho ne
groes give an entirely different statement
of this affair.
A. J. McArthur, a member of the city
council, said last night he would never
again visit the chamber as a member of
the council. A skein of silk dragged
through a briar patch could not be more
tangled than has been the council for two
years over the question of the water
works.
ROBBERY AND ARSON.

Owner Sits on the Porch.
Ilomerville, Ga., June 21.—The dwell
ing of D. B. Paxton of the firm of Paxton
& Mattox, large timber and saw mill men,
three miles from here, was entered and
robbed yesterday. The family had left
at that time, all except Mr. Paxton. He
was sitting on the front veranda. He dis
covered smoke issuing from a door near
him and succeeded in putting the fire
out in time to save the house. The house
was securely locked and the trunk keys
were hanging on the inside of one of the
rooms. One hundred dollars in money, a
gold watch, a pistol and some silverware
are missed. The theft was evidently
committed by someone acquainted with
the location. It was a bold job, being
done in daylight.

Edison Electric Lighting Company of this
city, was drowned in Flint river this
afternoon at 2 o’clock. Lloyd and a rela

together when the former, having swam
about the middle of the river, was suddenly
seized with cramps and his companion
not knowing how to swim could not give
him any assistance. He sank once to
rise no more. The river is now being
dragged for the body. Lloyd had been a
resident of this city about four years. He
was a native of Portsmouth, from whence
also came his little English sweetheart
something over two years ago, traveling
the long distance alone to become his
wife. They were married in this city,
and about a year ago a little baby came to
bless their union and devotion. To-day
the faithful little woman is in the agony
of a most cruel affliction and every heart
in the city is beating in sympathy for
her.

A CURIOUS ROOM
How an Ingenious Host Divided The
Heat Among His Guests.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Some guests of Mr. Richard Lovell
Edgeworth were sitting with him one
morning in a bright and pleasant room.
It was rather an odd room in its shape,be
ing perfectly circular. They were all busi
ly engaged In talking and laughing at Mr.
Edgeworth's amusing anecdotes, when
one of the ladies suddenly noticed that
she was now at quite a distance from the
open fireplace, although she had been
sitting near it when the conversation
began.
All the other persons hail also changed
their positions in regard to it, some who
had been far off being now quite near,
and the reverse. She questioned Mr.
Edgeworth eagerly, and he explained
that this room was one of his inventions.
The fireplace wits stationary, hut. the
floor of the room moved upon pivots so
slowly it is true, that the motion was
quite unnoticeabie, but moving all the
while, and bringing each part of the room
in turn near the fire.
•You see,’’ he said, “that I am giving
each of m,v guests a fair and equal shhre
ol the heat."
Richard Edgeworth was very fond of
experiments of all kinds. Even when he
was a boy. only 7 years old, he took the
greatest delight in learning about ma
chinery. His eager tongue, and eyes
that asked just as many questions as his
tongue, were always on tlie lookout for
knowledge of this sort.
Mr. Edgeworth is quite closely asso
ciated with old fashioned children’s
hooks, for he was an inliuate friend of
the author of “Sandford and Merton,”
and his own daughter,Marion Edgeworth,
wrote stories quite famous in her dav,
“Rosamond and the Purple Jar.” “Su
san,” and “Harry and Lucy” being the
best known.
A WAR-TIMES PANIC.

told of a regiment that lw#me panic
stricken while the men wore at dinner,
and tore down tent* and everything else
in their frantic endeavors to get awa.v,
although there wa* not a Federal soldier
within fifty miles of them at the time
“The men Just fc-awsi and broke. That
was all there was to it,” said the veteran
”Nohod.\ knew what started it. and O'-
body stopped to ask what started it. It
beat anything 1 ever saw.”
“ The worst panic 1 saw during the
war was right here in Texas " exelaim
od Dr S C. Young, “it was a panic
about three miles long and about two
miles wide, and it spread all over the
prairie for the best part of five hours. It
was none of your phantom or ghost panics,
either, for there was a good-sized Yankee
bloekader that had big gans to help it
along I must tell you the whole story.
It makps me laugh to thing of it now,
although the affair happened thirty years
ago.
■ In 1863 the Hon. J. W. Henderson of
Houston, ex-lieutenant governor of Texas,
and commonly called ‘Smoky Henderson,’
a prominent lawyer and something of a
sport himself, organized the prize-fight
ing company of the confederate army in
the trans-Mississiopi department. He
was popular with the sporting element, ■
and aimed to get a company of ‘bloods,’
and he got them. Every man paid for
his own outfit, horse and everything else,
and as a result they were the best equip
ped soldiers I ever saw. Nearly every
member had a ‘gun’ record ranging from
one to three men, for they were almost
without exception desperate characters.
“Well, the company started out on the
warpath, and never stopped until it wound
up down on Matagorda peninsula. The
only yankees down there were out on the
gunboats and blockaders. The company
wanted to see yankees any way, so it went
down there and was rewarded for its pains,
for a gunboat was seen out in the Gulf of
Mexico, about five miles from shore.
“There was a long peninsula reaching
out into the gulf and bay. It was very
narrow near the shore end, but broadened
out into a sort of island. The famous
cavalry company marched out on this
peninsula, so as to get a better look at the
yankee gunboat. The boat remained sta
tionary, and apparently paid no attention
to the cavalrymen.
“After a little the men dismounted, and
staking their horses, began strolling over
the peninsula, and finaly, forgetting all
about the Yankee gunboat, began a game
or two of poker and monte. Nothing oc
ured for an hour or so, when suddenly
bang went a big bombshell that had ex
ploded between them and their horses.
They jump'd to their feet, and their hair
fairl.vstood on end when they saw a cutter
full of men about 300 yards from the beach
between them and their horses.Theeutter
had a small gun mounted on the bow, and
about the time the cavalrymen junq>ed up
the Yankees turned loose about a bushel
of from it at them.
1 hat panic the captain there spoke of a
while ago was nothing to what happened
then, I know, because I was there and
took a hand in it. The minute before we
thought we wanted the horses out. but
when the grapeshot tore up tho sand and
weeds around us we found we did not
need them. If any man had had a horse
he would have been left behind, for we
made quick time, I tell you. Of,, course
we headed away from the yankees, and
fortunately that was the proper direction
for us to take, for it led toward the main
land.
“We had gone about a mile—and I
reckon we made it in about half a minute—
when “bang!’ right in front of us, the
Yankees opened up from another cutter.
There was a whole boatload of them, and
they were pulling like fiends to reach the
narrow neck of land and head us off, and
if you ever saw good running it was done
there, for we fairly flew. The yankees
saw there was no use competing with
such fast flyers as we were, so they stop
ped rowing and settled down to shooting.
Fortunately for us the Gulf was rough
and they could not shoot accurately.
“Finally we reached the mainland, and
then we scattered. You know it is all
bald prairie down there, so there was no
shelter for us. We scattered, and we
kept, on scattering for ten or fifteon
minutes.
“Six of us, including the captain,
headed for the panhandle as near as we
could make out, thinking that it was the
furthest ixiint in Texas from yankees,
and after we had gone beyond tlie range
of the confounded gun "we stopped to
breathe and ‘size up’ the situation We
had rested about half an hour, when
‘bang!’whiz! and a great shell passed
over our heads and struck a few hundred
yards behind us. We got up out of the
grass and saw that the big gunboat had
steamed in near the shore and had opened
lire ,with her guns. It was really ridic
ulous, but we did not laugh any at the
tirpe. The yankees were having lots of
fun. You’d see a stray gambler away out
on the prairie, and the next minute a big
shell as long as a piano would land near
him, and then you would see some of the
fastest running on record. Those yan
kees amused themselves for an hour or
two shelling every big bunch of grass
they could see. Finally there was not a
gambler in sight and they ceased tiring.
“The crowd I was with went to and old
house about a quarter of a mile out of
range of the guns and sat down to rest.
The family was away, but we broke open
the door, and finding some fresh beef, we
prepared to cook dinner. Just as
we got the meat cooked, the eapatin said
he would go up on the roof and see if he
could find any of the boys on the prairie.
He was a big man and weighed about
200 pounds. When he got up on the roof
he found he could not see well for the
chimney, so he stepped on the cistern top.
It was a flimsy affair, and just as a cannon
from the ship was fired it gave way under
him with a crash that shook the house,
and precipitated him into the depths
below.
Hearing the cannon and then the crash,
we naturally concluded that the house
had been struck by a shell, and it would
explode the next minute, so we tied to a
man, and were 200 yards away before we
realized what had happened. Hearing no
shell explosion we returned, and it was
some time before we found our captain
nearly drowned in the cistern. We fished
him out, and, without stopping to eat or
do anything else, we struck out for the
next town.
"What became of our horses? I never
knew, nor did I see any of the members
of the company again until the war was
over.”

CONSULTING OPTICIANS.
A STARTLING FACT,
That very few persons have perfect eyes. It
must be evident that it requires both knowl
edge and skill to know what the eyes need
and to tit them properly with glasses. Those
who trust this work to uninstructed dealers
are criminally cureless of the most valuable
of all the senses, their sight. In addition to
graduating in Germany and my thirty years'
practical experience I have taken a course
and graduated in a school of optics in New
York and learned the latest and best methods
of ascertaining the different defects of the
eyes and their proper correction, so that I
can tit you properly with glasses that will
strengthen and improve your eyesight instead
of rapidly ruining it, as poorly fitted glasses
will always do. No charge for examination.
