DIED FttOM POISON. Yesterday report prevailed that Albert fccheutze, a PvJe, had committed suicide at Preston street west, J'ourth ward north.

THE NEWS correspondent investigated ths matter, and heard from those directly interested in Mr. Schcutze, that the sick man was in no danger and that it was believed that he had merely taken too much of a sleeping potion. The events that followed show that Schentze took a dead- potion, and that it ended his days at 2.SO tnis morning. The peculiar snrrouudiugs or the case caused Justice Breeding to hold nn inquest, at which he gleaned the following facts: Dr. Archer sworn: I was called to sec Mr.

ISclieutze, Sunday night, at about 1 o'clock. 1 was notified that he had taken poison. He would not speak voluntarily, but would use a slate to write anything he wanted to say. He dul that several times in making state- nients. They were written in German, and 1 had to have it interpreted.

I staid'with him nn hour, during which time he presented no evidences of poison, except sliirht symptoms of having taicen morphine. Dining this time he vomited three or four times snd I left him a little after 2 o'clock, wide nwake, with instructions to be called if any thing alarming took place. While I wa tiere-on tlie first visit he positively refnset to take any kind of medicine or to reeeivt any kind of treatment. I was recalled a little after yesterday morning, and fount him completely narcotized and coma st In this state he continued until with slight rallies occasionally. Th symptoms presented on my return wore very plainly opium poison, from which inferred he had taken morphine in large excess.

When I left him at my first visi -lie was wide awake and sensitive to al external impressions. When I returned ii sbont four hours afterwards, I found hin r.s stated above, from which state of things, I inferred that he had taken an additional supply of morphine. He stated to me through writing, that he was determined ti and he would not tell what he har taken. 1 he interpretations upon the slati were made by Mrs.Scheittze. the wife of the deceased.

The writing upon the slate was in Uermaii and interpreted by his wife. The iivry of inquest rendered a verdict that deceased came to his death fromopiuir poisoning, administered by his own hands on Those who were intimate with deceased any that he had been greatly distressed recently, and hail been financially embarrassed. Letters had arrived from Germain- that gave him encouragement. He scraped Money together and crossed the Atlantic, Believing that on reaching German soil all Ins troubles would end. He was deeply dis- and his misery was only intensified.

He returned to Texas in a terrible frame of mind, and made another effort to pl.v himself on a business footing, but failed, and applied the remedy that many poor humans have applied before him. He a man of medium height anil build, and of Iigut complexion. Home months ago lie -was storekeeper for I. Jupliet, of this place. OPF.HA-HOUSES.

SAM 11RAUX CONVICTED. lo-doy Ham Braun, a very intelligent termini-American boy, the son of a deceased German minister, tried in the Court on a charge of the foveorv the name of Judge Alexander McGimen and a of his own mother. During the I olln Uraun acted as his own counsel.

The brought in a verdict of guilty and assessed the punishment at two years the penitentiary, with recommendations to the governor for a pardon. The crime was committed about two years ago, hen Braun fled the city, gotti" to Missouri. During his absence his mother innrte good Hie amounts, when he came to Houston about one year ago to see his mother. No doubt thinking that a payment iS hc umc set 'led the case, Braun walked the streets in the old-fashioned way and was promptly put under arrest us soon as seen. He was bonded to await the trial that came on to-day.

Considerable sympathy is felt for the young fellow, as it is believed that he has the making of a good ninn in him. When he committed the act ff ioi-Rory lie was in the employ of Judge ilctioivc-u, and it is believed that, at the time, lie wr.s not strictly at himself.

ARDENT SILVER ADVOCATES, SENTIMENT OF ROBERTSON COUNTY. The Silver Question a Battle Between Debtor and Creditor Classes--Texas Congressmen Solid, the Special to The News. February porter to-day called on Hon. W. Collard, judge of the Twentieth Judicial district, who resides here, and propounded tin- following interrogatories: 1.

What do yon think of the silver discussion in 2. Is the attitude of the administration on the question in accord with the sentiment of tlie Democratic party? H. i i i ioice, the tlghliug. and ignore, if necessary, the Democracy of the Do you think the people of Texas fully sustain (he views of.cW, Maxey, Iteagan, Beck and the silvermen ol Congress" Do you favor the demonetization of sil- discontinuance of silver coin- i. What do you think of a free coinage for both metals, free baiikiiiir, and a i eo- pie's money, affected by neither (lutisin nor prohibition, and to adjust itself auto- umhrally the wants of'business under the laws 01 domnnd and supply Judge Collard, who is one of the most courteous mid scholarly gentlemen in this section of the State, responded vcrv freelv.

and said :1 have been watching the cussion of the silver question in Congress with great interest. 1 have read the speeches of congressmen both pro and eon, and am perfectly willing to give you my views 1 have not tune to enter into a minute discussion of each question separately, but will give you my views in general, and let that suffice as an answer to all of your interrogatories. This silver question now being agitated Congress is a fight between the creditor class and the debtor class. The a to the coinage of silver and to debase the silver dollar, is in the interest of the creditor class, whether the creditor is a government or a citizen. Suppose you owe tfllHUHK) and have 'il, gold in and iKKMKHi in silver )av it with, and a law should be passed demonetizing your silver or reducing its value 20 per your gold will only pay of Ihe debt, and your silver If silver is debased, or its debt-paving power diminished, just iu a ratio is the debtor injured and the creditor benefited Cheiri money is the debtor's ain and the credit- loss, because the products and iroperly whose value is measured -iy this money are enhanced in value.

That is a plain proposition. Now, our national debt is by law made payable gold and silver dollars of a i "ndnrd. The holders of the debt HIV i-i- csted to debase silver, so that it will re- mure 1,, 20 or per cent, more of it to lldUKlule I the people and i eriiiuent are interested, of course iu-t Hie other way. It would be foolish' for our Kovernmeut to accede to the proposition ot knglnnd and (iermnuy to demonetize- sil. ver.

or reduce its a because, while are holh creditors of the world, we are a debtor country. The more difficult it is made to pay debts the more they are l.enelited. and the more we and other debtor a i are i Hcsules tins, if the a of silver reduced it becomes to all i i as it ceases to be standard of a -old becomes the only standard, the oulv money in fact, and so money becomes scarcer -iiu'l property less valuillilu. It is tlien e-isv to understand why the bondholder a the banks are favor of destroying silver Inle the of gold "and sil ver ni value is a same in I i States, very i of tlie silver is the hands of the banks. The wealth of (he a is in -old and bonds or credits, therefore il is to tfieir interest to increase the a of gold and destroy silver or redin-e it to a mere commodity.

I understand, then, that the Texas members of Congress are defending the rig.its of the government to pay its debt in silver coin as as gold and the i or the toiling millions who are bcnelit'u-d bv cheap money. The West and South, e-sue. i a South, are the debtor section file country, and the a i members of Congress from these section- i not lie exiieetcd to a i own interests or the interests of i own people ihey sec and know it would be a i i IraiHl against: Ihe government Itself a a debtor, and all the debtor class, to Mi-ncud the coinage of silver, or to adopt am- i a would tend to demonetize it or its circulation. We expect the and wi'stcin Democracy 11. make i tight for even if it should iu complete a i a i of Ihe eastern Dcmocracv us.

All honor, then, to Cuke and a i a a and Mills, say i. i i i reporter next 'railed on -who is a i of old Scotland, i who lias resided this county for one-third of who is a classical scholar a great reader and one of the mo-f prosperous a safe dry guilds ami chnnts of this piace. Mr. Glass responded and said: I Jim a silvcrnnm I a more money in the country, and silver js good enough for me. Tin- tighi is simply lipht between creditor and debtor 1 say issue more silver.

I have read JmV'c ollard's views and fully concur with them. Sir. A. Dechcrd was next called on. He is tlie wealthiest merchant of this place and lias made his fortune here in the last fifteen cars.

He talks but little, but is considered one ot the most correct men ot'tliis section. Without hesitation he said. 1 want more silver. I would not stop the coinage ot it. I is as good money as I a am not afraid of too much money.

Mr. J. If. Alsobrook, the 'leading a ware merchant of this place, was in- ervieweil, who 1 am free to confess hat 1 inn not fully posted on these fines- lions and do not understand some of theni especially the Oth, as to free banking and ii people's money. but I will say "that I do not think the attitude of the administration on the silver question is in accord with the sentiment of tlie Democratic party of lexas, and 1 think the South and West should force the fighting and ignore, if necessary, the Democracy of the East.

1 i majority of the people of Texas fully sustain the views of Coke, Jhixev" Reagan, Beck and the silvermen of Coh" "ess. 1. do not favor the demonetization or the discontinuance of i coinage. XVe want plenty of money a -irculatmg medium, and 'silver answers purpose, and 1 do not think tin-re is any danger of having any too much of it. It seems to me that the demonetization of -iver is in the interest, of the bondholder, a big banker and against the in'ople.

Coin plenty of money and it i i itself according the wants and necessities trade. I i lliickley, a i i I lie late S. IHirnclt. rnneral ivill I tt 9 n. at late residence.
