THE GALVKSTON DAILY NEWS, MONDAY. JULY 17. 1893. TRAGEDY AT LOGANSPORT. SPE1DLEY 8HOOTB AHD KILLS JOEL GOODWIN, The.Bead SOD Hit Piitol and Attempta to Avenge Him.

A Fatal Annirerenry for Goodwin, Lognnsport, July morning about 8.SO o'clock Joel Goodwin and his aon Jack, aged about ten were seen, tho former with a Winchester rifle and the latter with a double barrelled shot gun, sitting under a tree about fifty feet from the ntiiln line of the railroad. AH the train approached ths station Goodwin, it ts said, cocked the gun held by his son and kissed him good bye. Trouble between Goodwin and A. J. Spradley of Nacogdoches county, Texas, dating back about two IB supposed to have been the cause of the trouble.

As tho train pulled In Goodwin trained his gun on the train and Spradley looked out of the bagffage car, and some one called his attention to look out for Goodwin. Spradloy saw at a glance that trouble was Imminent and luvlled his double, barreled shot gun on Goodwin, fired and put live shots in him, one in the heart, one In th? neck, another In the head and one In the chin. Goodwin fell and his son Jack fired both barroia of hiu shot gun at the baggage car, none taking effect on Spradley, but one struck Express Messenger Mlllsap on tho shoulder, and: another struck Mall Agent Bradley in the side. It la Bald that ufter firing the first shot the gun knocked young Goodwin almost down. Recovering himself he fired the second shot, and then went to his father and told him to get up.

Seeing that he was dead, he tooj: his father's pistol from him and went to baggage car and hunted for Sprndley. A great deal of excitement Is occasioned by the shooting from the fact that two years age to the date Goodwin killed Tom Collins here, and Spradley him with blnodhoundn, which led to the trouble to-day. AT RPUAULIQY'S HOME. Nacogdoches, July A. J.

Spradley of this county shot and Instantly killed Joel Goodwin of Logansport, this morning at that place. Bad blood had been between them ever since Goodwin killed Collins two ynrs ago and Spradley helped try to catch him with dogs. Spradley passed up by there last night, and Deputy Sheriff Gid Moore of Lognnsport, who recently had a dilUcuHy with Goodwin, got on the train there and went with him. When they returned 011 the train thin morn- Ing Goodwin and his wife and 12-ycnr-old armed with Winchester, pistols and shot gun, were waiting at the depot, and tho people around were In dread. A few oxcltod words wore heard such as "Look out!" ami "Come out!" and at once HQV- ernl wore ilrod.

Spradley HI led Good- wln'H face and neck full of buckshot from tho window of the baggage car. Young Goodwin Ilivd two loiirls of buckshot Into i window of the car and slightly wounded the agent, JIlllsup, In the. arm, but nilssod Spradloy. Mrs. Goodwin tried to enter the car with a pistol In her hand.

Spriidloy ar.d Gld Mooru are here subject to the authorities. This makes the fourth man Spradley has killed. Goodwin had killed more. ELECTING A POSTMASTER The People of Texarkatm Very Much Bxcitod. TVxurlmna.

ABOUT NATIONAL BANKS. Washington, July Eckels hns received the following letter from Ien- ry Clews, the well known bnnker: "The national bank act certainly should be amended to provide for Issued up to the par value of States bonds, and another amendment would also be wise to provide for im issue of notes ngalnst the surplus capital of the national banks to the extent of 75 per cent thereof. Those two chrinpres In the Inw make nn Incronse In national currency nmo'unt- ing to about 5150.000.000 and would provide the nation with enough now money for Us needs, and It would lip the best and most legitimate kind besides. "Thf New York banks now Imvo a surplus over capital of J70.000.000.

The national banks of other cities and elsewhere have probably JHW.000.000 in addition. This backing in cash, or Its equivalent to tht mttrs Issued against same, would make thr-m the strongest am! most legitimate dm meter uf money in circulation. No stronger kind of money could be devised surplus against which the issue of the notes would be made would be a i a bank examiners.

Reno. July A muss mooting was hold here last night at which vigorous speeches were made by, Hon. F. G. New- Innda, Nevada's congressmnn, and others and resolutlona were adopted omtd great enthusiasm which after giving a tenpthy review of the financial situation for a number of years past declare: "Less hundred millions of gold have pone out of tho country within the pust six months iind beliokl the failures, Insolvency and monetary stringency.

If the destruction of three hundred millions of greenbacks In the years following nnd 187-1. the withdrawal of less than one-llfteenth of the money of the country by our English creditors In 1891 and could produce such disaster, what will be the effect when one- half the world's money Is destroyed? If the withdrawal of less than one hundred millions of gold has so ucrlously affected the values of stocks, bonds, wheat, cotton and all products anil commodities In the 'country how will the destruction aa money of four thousand millions of silver affect the value of products and commodities with which debtor nations will as Individuals pay their debts? Remember England owns the accumulated gold of the world and has loaned it out to other natlona upon gold bearing bonds. We can yet no gold except from Kngland, Is wise to subject us to the disastrous effects of every financial storm which niay ocvur in any one of England's dependencies? "All gold now in America Is England's gold loaned to the United States, which she can call away at any time by the sale of American securities, as she Ims-done twice within the past three years. Remember England has corner on the accumulated gold of ages. Remember America Is the largest owner of silver In the world.

If England owned all the wheat und. America all the oats would It be wise In America to pass laws preventing the use of oats. "We cnll the attention of eastern money centers to the fact that they themselves are Interested In the Industrial aspect of this question. The east has money Invested In the mining region than western people have. Do the owners of western roads realize silver mining is at the bottom of almost every industry in six states and three territories upon which they can relv for biislnpss? Do they realize the vast umount of eastern capital that would be destroyed by the destruction of silver i i and Industries allied to Jt? "We appeal to the people of tho east and south not to yield to the scare created designedly by the gold trust with view to stamping out the friends of silver.

We appeal to them to Insist upon legislation thtU will free thin nation front tinanein.1 dependence upon England, which will secure to It legislation creating a financial system."

Aaron. The power Is common among the West Indian half-breeds and the Maya and other derivatives of Mexico and Central America, ami many whites have the power who hardly realize the fact. It Is not uncommon to observe this it one will suddenly say to a companion: "What was that noise?" If Mr. Slater will say thla In a semi- startled way he will notice that In no Inconsiderable number of cases there be a slight Instinctive movement of the muscles In question, more or less pronounced. Nor Is the ear that Darwin illustrates his Descent of Man as belnj? allied to the pointed type belonging to our simian relatives as uncommon as many may Imagine.

It la my observation that thin peculiarity of the fold in question Is oftener to be observed In women, and In many of these cases the persistence of the wisdom teeth Is also a characteristic. I have In mind two cases of this sort, one of a man, the other of a woman, both residents of one of our leading cities und among their social and Intellectual forces. The latter is a remarkable reversion to an earlier type, In ear, in teeth, In length of arm, in painless child-birth, in flexibility of hand joints, and In other marked characteristics. It appears to me that tin- ear, like the vermiform appendix, tlie suspension of the position of the orillce of the bladder, and the unprotected condition of certain main arteries, is yet In a transitional, state, and not adapted to the newer human condition imposed by the erect position and the articl- ulUiea of civilization.

Philadelphia Press. During the years 3889-90 Prof. Henry Seals of the BritiBh royal society was in the United States making a special search for "rocking stones" or "balanced bowld- ers." But few of these geological wonders are known to exist, their scarcity, as well as thu curious manner In which they have been 'left poised upon mountain tops and other eminences, makes them objects of uncommon interest. The professor's visit to this country was made mainly to prove that these curiously balanced stones In many Instances weighing hundreds of torn; were carried on floating Icebergs tlurinsr the epoch known as the "glacial period," und that the multliiK of these Immense Ice fields left the stones In the positions in which they are now found. There sire two lino of "rnckinp stones" In Now EnKland-pm: at Noank, on the farm of Caleb Haley, and the other at Lanesboro.

Surreyi That Hire Been Made Show That the North and South Can Be fraily United--No Great Washington, July International railway commission, which was one of the outgrowths of the late pan-American congress, is now engaged in winding up the work it haa been pursuing for the past two years, and the engineers and surveyors who have uuen In the Held are now preparing: their reports and reducing their field notes to the shape of maps and charts.

The commission was appointed for the purpose of securing surveys ot suitable lines for a railway system which should connect the northern and southern hemispheres with each other and form a continuous line ot railroad from the United States through the American republics of the south. As In the case of the bureau of American each country Interested its jihai-c of the expanse in proportion to population. Congress last year failed to make any appropriation for the work on the part of the United States, and It will require the sreateat economy for the commission with funds on hand to be able to close up its wjrk tfiid print Ha reports, which will then be open for the list- of capitalists who may seek to profit by these government surveys and build the railroads that are contemplated. The field work was pursued by three parties, one In Central America and two In South America. That in Central America wns under the direction of Lleutonant M.

M. Macom, U. S. and surveyed a lino from the southern boundary of Mexico through Guatemala, San Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua und Costa Hica to the Savagre river. This party lnis just returned to the United States, arriving and is now at work upon the reduction of its llelu notes -'reparation or maps ami charts.

Corps No. 2, under the command of Mr. Wm. F. Shunk, started In at Quito, Ecuador, and surveyed a line through the dim- cult Andean region as far as Cartugena, on the Caribbean sea; also a line from the Suvagre river.

In Costa Rica, through Panama and the Isthmus to the neighborhood of Aiuioqula, In Columbia, where it connected with the other line from the Isthmus tu Cartagena. Mr. Shunk'a party returned to the United States In June and were also engaged In writing up their fluid report and preparing their maps. The remaining corps was under the direction of Mr. D.

Kelly, and nurveyed a line from (Julio JiX-uaUor 10 Cuaco, I-Vru. The maps of this last party are nearly completed, and their reports covering their operations are now in preparation. Concerning the whole work It may be said that the reports of the Held engineers demonstrates the feasibility of building these railroads to connect the systems of North America with those of South America, and that there are no fnstirmcmnt- nhln pnplnpf'rlnj? rWHfiiltk'H In the way of tlio UHccpsHi'ul pro.sTiitlon of such work. Thn whole number of miles surveyed aggregate -liiUO. It Is expected that all the reports will be made to congress some time this winter.

You can't teach that horse anything. Look at the brute's head, that rounding nose, that tapering forehead, that broad, full place before the eyes. You can't trust him. Look at that fine mare. You can see health and fullness between the eyes and ears.

You couldn't hire that mare to act mean or hurt anybody. The eye should be full and hazel Is a good color. A horse with a thin, small ear is beat, and you want him tu ilirow liib ears well forward. Look out for the brute that wants to listen to all conversation suing on behind him. The horse that turns back his ears until they almost meet at the points Is to do something wrong at the first opportunity.

A horse with a dished face is usually a coward, and a cowardly brute Is usually vicious. A square muzzle, with nostrils to let plenty of air to th" luntrs. For urnler of a good horse should be well cul under jowl, with jawbones broad and wide apart under the throttle. Never buy a long- legged, stllufd horge. Let him have a short, straight back and ntralght rump.

The withers should be high and the shoulders well set back and broad, but not too deep In the chest. The foreleg should be short. A hind leg not too straight, with thft hock low down, short pastern Joints and a round, solid foot. The animal that has these points Is almost sure to be sight- ly, graceful, good natured and serviceable. IF YOUK SACK ACHE8.

EDITORIAL FEATURES.

The editorial discussion of current topics of interest is a service committed to a corps of trained journalists, accomplished writers and capable and faithful expositors. In theory, in spirit and in endeavor this service is conducted as simply a branch of the general industry of collecting, digesting and communicating news. Its whole purpose is to get at and impart seasonable truth by reviewing with critical frankness and reasoning with' logical honesty. The first requirement of every laborer in this department is that he shall allow no bias of a merely personal or partisan nature to affect him in discussing public measures and public men, but shall examine and estimate them with the caie and precision of a bank expert testing the genuineness of a coin or a bill, or of a mercantile expert calculating the worth of a -lot of goods. If such journalism is sure to provoke animosities, it is also sure thereby to commend itself to the good conscience and the best intelligence of the public for the enemies that it malces.
