TRENTON, DADE COUNTY, GA.. FRIDAY, JUNE 25. 1880.
TEXAS LANDS.
One Million Six Hundred Thousand Acres
Restored to Government Possession.
Forth Worth, Tex., June 30.— The Greer
Country Boundary Commission, which
comprises four officers of the United States
Army and four citizens of Texas,
convened in secret session at
Austin on the 15th inst. The ques
tion under consideration by this Commis
sion is a very important one to the people
of Texas, since it involves the ownership of
a snug little back yard some 1,638,000 acres in
area. Each member seems bound by a Knight
of Labor oath to divulge nothing. Your
correspondent is able to make the positive
announcement that the Commission has
overwhelmingly decided that the Greer
County does not belong to Texas, but
that it is part and parcel of tho lands
belonging to the Federal Government.
It is learned quite recently that the
Commission was nearly, if not quite,
unanimous in their conclusion, but no
official announcement can be made un
til the report of the Federal branch
of the Commission has been submitted to
the Secretary of War and by him approved.
Greer County for years has been by many
Texans considered part and parcel of the
Lone Star State, but a xvell informed mem
ber of tho Commission is authority for the
statement that there never was the small
est grounds for this presumption on
the part of Texas. It is certain that
the State of Texas made a big mis
take when it presumed to give pat
ents for land it never had the shadow of
a legal claim to. Something over half a
million acres of fine grazing land in Greer
County are now located upon by veteran
land certificates issued by the State of
Texas. The finding of the commission nul
lifies these certificates of pre-emption, and
the parties holding them will be compelled
to vacate them. The prospects aro that
veteran land certificates can be bought
retty cheap in a few W'eeks. -
THE TEXAS STORM.
Exceedingly Heavy l Damages Reported
from the Localities Visited.
St. Louis, Mo., June 20,—Word comes
from Texas that a terrible wind and rain
storm passed over parts of the interior of
that State last evening, and that great
damage was done to town property and to
crops in the country. At Waco several
houses were badly wrecked and one man
severely wounded. At Dallas a good deal
of havoc was caused by the blowing down
of small buildings and the uprooting
of trees, etc. At Weatherford
tho residences of Mr. S. B. Wotnac,
W. F. Budd, S. L. Weatherford, Mrs. M. B.
Roach, the grain warehouse of George P.
Levy and the Colored Baptist Church were
demolished, and tho Methodist Church, the
opera-house, three public school buildings,
the Sikes House, the Franco Land Com
pany’s office and a number of other build
ings were badly damaged. Mrs. Ella Wo
mac, Mrs. Gatnmond were injured by fall
ing timbers. Accounts from the country
are that a large amount of corn and cotton
was beaten to the ground, and that barns
and other out buildings, fences, tro s, etc.,
were destroyed. The damage in Weather
ford is estimated at from (40,000 to (50,000,
and the loss in Parker County is placed at
over (100,000.

Ail Armed Negro Commands a Steamboat
mad of Passengers to .lump Overboard.
New York, June 20. —As the steamboat
which plies between Harlem Bridge and
High Bridge was about leaving her landing
at High Bridge at six o’clock this evening,
a colored man stepped aboard. After the
boat had gone a short distance he suddenly
sprang to his feet, and, drawing a re
volver, cried out: “It is the will
of the Lord that every person
aboard this boat shall drown, and I com
mand you all in His name to leap over
board or I will slay you all.” The terrified
passengers, together with the deck hands,
fled into the cabin, while the negro walked
tip and down the deck, flourishing the pistol
and yelling. Finally, while his hack was
turned for an instant, two of the deck
hands rushed out of the cabin and seized
him. The negro fought desperately; but
was disarmed.
FATHER’S HORRIBLE DEED.
He Cuts the Throats of His Two Little
Children and Then His Own.
Creston, 111., June 30. —Jacob Swingley,
of this placd. killed his little daughter,
three years old, by cutting her throat with
a razor, tried to kill his ten-year-old boy in
the same way, and then cut his own throat.
A lady who kept house for hint and an
other daughter were sleeping up-stairs, and
did not know about it till morning. The
boy is not expected to live. Mr. Swingley
was suffering with malarial fever, and did
not have watchers. His mother was in an
insane asylum for some time. The imme
diate cause of the. tragedy was the death of
his wife last summer and financial trou
bles.
Shoot Them.
Wellsville, 0., June 30. —Sheep-killing
dogs are becoming such a nuisance in this
county and are worrying farmers to such
an extent that the county commissioners
are considering some means of stopping
these depredations and ridding tho aom
munity of these pests by imposing a
heavier tax. At the quarterly session of
the commissioners just hedd, claims to the
extent of nearly (800 were allowed fanners
for stock killed in amounts ranging from
(9 to (3.75. Stock men consider they have
sufficient cause for alarm.

Dr. R chmond Under Guard at Heme.
St. Joseph, Mo., June 20.— There are no
new developments in the Richmond-Strong
shooting affair. Dr. Richmond is at home,
guarded by policemen, and though a war
rant has been read to him charging him
with murder, his phy-sician will not permit
his removal to the county jail, and the
prosecuting attorney has consented to al
low him to remain at home under police
surveillance until he can be safely re
moved.

ACRES OF FLAMES,
In Which a Number of Workmen
Perish.
The New England Institute Building De
stroyed—Loss, $300,000.
Boston, June 21.—The New England In
stitute Fair Building, constructed for ex
hibition purposes at a cost of (500,000 and
sold last winter to the street railroad com
pany for (300,000, was totally destroyed by
fire this afternoon, and with it w r ere sacri
ficed not less than twelvo lives. When the
firemen arrived the eight-acre structure
was a mass of flame, the roof had fallen in
and the walls were tottering. Of tho four
hundred stored cars one was saved. The
victory of fire over water was complete.
Next came the dangerous work of
recovering the dead bodies. There
was many men inside when the fire
broke out and all rushed for the rear win
dows. Most of them were helped out, but
while a rush was being made to one of the
windows, at which a scorched and bleeding
face was seen, the person who had been
looking out fell back into the seething
mass, and was past all help. A colored
man, name unknown, went back into the
burning building to save some property,
and was not seen to come out again. By
nine o’clock eight bodies, burned beyond
recognition, were recovered. The experi
ences of some of the one hundred work
men employed in the building were ter
rible. The spread of the flames when they
finally burst forth was something almost
incredible. Workmen on the opposite side
of the building from the point where the
fire originated had almost as great a diffi
culty in making their escape as did those
nearer the first fierce burst of flame. It was
at the east of the building in the carpenter
shop that a most heart-rending incident
occurred. A man, who is as y-et unknown,
was driven out of a window of the second
story by the flames. Ho was about to leap,
and had put one leg over the window
sill, when the roof fell in and pinned
him fast to the spot where he was. No
ladder company had arrived, and the
crowd outside was powerless to render aid.
The flames followed almost instantly, and
the imprisoned man underwent agonizing
torture before the horrified eyes of his
friends below. Two of his fellow-work
men, John McNulty- and J. F. Fallen, were
terribly burned while trying to scale the
wall to reach their dying comrade. His
Bufferings were mercifully short. The
awful furnace of flames enwrapped
him about with fire and smoko,
hiding him during his last mo
ments from the gaze of the
spectators. Not long afterward the wall
itself gave way, and nothing more was
seen. E. L. Fallen says he was the last
man to lean tho wood workers’ shop alive.
The room is in the southeast corner of the
building. At the first cry of lire he ran, but
turned hack at the door to see if ho had
time to gatbi run his tools. The moment’s
KastVt<Lii/u nearly loiat. Uim tain lif«. He
hardly got out or the building before it was
one mass of flames. Four or five of his fel
low-workmen. he says, turned back. They
were left behind, and were certainly burned
to death. The loss will reach (300,000.
ANARCHISTS’ TRIALS.

Court-room and Surrendering.
Chicago, June 21.—The first formal move
in connection with the trial of the Anarch
ists engaged in the Haymarket riot was
tnk'Bi before Judge Gary this morning.
Shortly before 3 o’clock this afternoon, An
archist Parsons, who has been missing
since the Hay-market riots, walked into the
Criminal Court-room, accompanied by his
appearance was a surprise
to the Cokrt and police officers. He is
supnosed to have remained in hiding in
tluAcity since tho night of May 3. He was
so thoroughly disguised that his own mother
woiMd not have known him. When
Court adjourned at noon the State had ac
cepted four jurors, but in the afternoon
they were excused by the defense, and the
latter took up the task of finding four men
acceptable to them. When court adjourn
ed, at 5 o’clock, two men were on the panel
who had not been formally accepted by the
defense, however, so that the first day
closed without any- actual progress having
been made toward obtaining a panel. Af
ter the adjournment of court Parsons was
taken to the county jail with the other
prisoners.
Milwaukee, Wis.. June2l.—The trial of
the alleged conspirators indicted by the
grand jury in the recent investigation of
the labor troubles and riots, was begun this
afternoon, Judge Sloan presiding. About
thirty defendants appeared at the bar.
TWO EXTREMES.
An Ohio Jumbo.
New Philadelphia, 0., June 21.—Elmer
Heeter, son of Mr. F. Heeter, of near Tren
ton, this county, is certainly the Jumbo
baby of Ohio. He now weighs sixty-eight
pounds and is but sixteen months old.
He is a beautiful child, with light-blue
eyes, rosy cheeks aud a magnificent
head of hair, which bangs in ring
lets to his shoulders. The mouth is
small, and when open discloses a line full
set of pearly- teeth. Elmer measures twen
ty-eight inches around the chest, thirty
throe inches at the waist and twenty
around the thigh. The child enjoys the
best of health, is exceedingly good-natured
ar.d is perfectly formed and developed in
every respect. Both the parents are of or
dinary size.
A Pennsylvania Mite.
Sharon, Pa., June 21.— The most diminu
tve baby in Sharon is probable “he little
visitor which took up its abode with Mr.
aad Mrs. Steve Boyer, of the East Hill, a
week ago. It is such a little mite of hu
nanity that in order to insure its beiug
safely handled the nurse wrapped it up in
i pound of cotton. The child was weighed
ot accurate scales yesterday, with its six
een ounces of cotton protector, and only
ipped the beam at two pounds and three
cinces.
Demand for Home Rule for Cuba.
Madrid, June 21.—The Goverment is
ontemplating the immediate construction
rf a number of speedy and powerful
misers to strengthen the navy. In the
(.ingress Senor Moutoro, supported by
ober Cuban Deputies, has presented a de
rand for the concession of home rule to

emand is regarded as a step toward com
pete decentralization.

CALLED OFF.
Canada Must Let Ihe Fish Hait Business
Alone.
Ottawa, Out., June 22.— The latest reve
lation in the fishery question shows that
the Imperial Government has intimated by
cable, through Sir Charles Luppert, that
under no circumstances must the present
position of Canada on the fisheries question
be maintained. The British Government
had expressed themselves as determined
not only not to back Canada up, but to
take such measures as would stop all such
proceedings in the future. It is this cable
gram, received by- (Sir John McDonald,
which has brought about the concessions
which the Dominion Government proposes
now to make. Throughout there lias evi
dently been a piece of maladministration
on the part of the Dominion Government, ■
they not knowing where they stood. They
have received a reprimand from the Brit
ish Government now, and will, if they aro
wise, be more eareiul in the future. '
Expulsion of the Princes.
Paris, Juno 22.—1 n the debate in tho
Senate to-day ion the expulsion bill
Do Freycinet said that his Govern
ment would not tolerate another
government iu France, and would take t ho
full responsibility for the expulsion of tho
Princes. He refuted the charge that tho
Government was yielding to the irreconcil
ables. He declared that order
was being maintained through
out France, even at Decazeville.
where a recurrence of the recent disorders
had been prevented. That was not the case
in Belgium or Great Britain. In conclu
sion he deprecated the confiscation of tho
property of the Princes, insisted that the
common law would not apply- to the
Princes, and urged the necessity of Repub
lican union as of supreme interest to the
Republic. Finally, a secret ballot was
taken, and the bill, ns it came from the
Chamber of Deputies, was adopted by a
vote of 141 to 107. The announcement of
the result was received with great applause
by the members of the Left.

ter at this place has received reliable in
formation of tho organization of an associ
ation among the postal clerks of certain
linesof tho Western railroads to boycott
the postal system. Each member of tho
association upon becoming such signs a
resignation of his position in the postal
service, which is placed in the hands of the
Executive Committee. As soon as the or
ganization is complete it is said the first
removal will be followed by a demand
upon the Postmaster General for the cause
therefor. If not satisfactory all resigna
tions will take effect, leaving the mail ser
vice in the lurch. The ring-leaders are
known, and will be reported to tho Post
master General.

John Boepple, sausage manufacturer on
Kosciusko street, between Barton and
Victor streets, in the southern part of the
city, were destroyed by fire to-night. Tho
slaughter house adjoining was scorched,
but the factory was not damaged. The
loss in dollars and cents was not very
large, about (8,000, but some thirty odd
cattle tied up in the stable were burned to
death, and their meanings could be heard
for half a mile. Tho horses and hogs were
saved.
Poisoned at a Festival.
Somerv ii.le, N. J., June 22. Great ex
citement has been caused at Pottersville,
fifteen miles north of this town, by the
poisoning of several persons who ate the
toothsome morsels provided at a church
festival held Thursday last. Over 200 per
sons are now under the care of physicians,
and it is feared that some will not recover.
Those who partook of strawberries only
were attacked the worst, while others who
ate ice cream felt the effects of the poison
severely. It is now thought that the poison
was in the sugar.
Rich Copper Discovery.
Detroit, Mich., June 22. —A dispatch
from Caffimet, in the Upper Peninsula,
situated at the famous Calumet and Hecla
copper mine, the richest in the world, says
that the deepest shaft in the Allonez mine
has struck the Calumet conglomerate. The
vein where the •t ike was made was fully
up to the richness of the Calumet
and no doubt is expressed
that a body of the same conglomerate un
derlies the Allonez property as has made
the Calumet and Ilecla the richest coppa r
mine in the world.
The Situation in Bavaria.
Munich, Juue 22. —Murmurs are heard on
all sides regarding the treatment of the late
King. The people ask why his body- >vas
not interred in the grave of his fathers iu
tho Theatiner Church, instead of being
placed in a vault containing tho bodies ot
distant relatives, aud in which a member
of the royal family was never before buried.
The official reason given for this course is
that the royal vault is already overfilled,
but tho humble classes believe that it is be
