Crain would have presented a bill to amend the act of iny S5, 1882. for the erection of a public building at Qnlvcstun by increasing the limit of cost for building and the site to the sum of $233,000, being au addition of $110,090 the original appropriation. Mr. Crain's object in the introduction of this bill is to comply with the requirement of the supervising architect, who, in an interview with Mr. Crain on the several days ago, at which correspondent was present, and Trhieh was detailed in a late special to THE News, expressed his disinclination to commence the construction of the building for the reason that the balance of the original appropriation subject to his disposal is insufficient to erect one accordance with the requirements of the law providing for it.

He said that the sum available would not provide a building, either fire proof or otherwise, adequate for the uses for which it is designed. In his report to Congress he has stated that the balance in his hands is not enough to justify him in beginning the work. Mr. Crain has also ready a bill to appropriate $80,000 toMiirchase land and erect thereon a custom-house, postofflce and federal court bnilding at Brownsville. THE SENATE.

Naney M. Gloyd. Special to The News, RICHMOND, December was celebrated the eighty-first birthday of Mrs. Nancy M. Gloyd, at the National hotel.

Mrs. Gioyd is as spry as many of forty years her junior. Before partaking of the dinner she walked nearly half a mile to church aud back. She is possessed of a most remarkably bright intellect. Her memory is unsurpassed.

She recollects distinctly of hearing the roar of cannon ou lake Champlaiu September 1J, 1814, commanded by Commodore McDonnough on the side of ffie United States and Admiral Dowiiie on the British side, the Utter being killed. She was born in Crittenden county, December 20, ISM. She went to school two years to Kev. William Arthur, a Baptist minister, the father of ex-president Arthur. Mrs.

Gloyd has been a member of charch fifty years; first of the Baptist, and since coming to Texas, there being no Baptist church convenient, she connected herself with the South Methodist, of which church she is now an honored member. Mrs.Captain David Nation's flrathusband was the only son of Mrs. Gloyd. with whom the old lady now resides. The table was spread with one of the best and most complete dinners ever set in Richmond.

Among the invited guests were Mrs. Mary Hand, aged92years; Mrs. John Giasscoek, her daughter, aged06years; Mrs.C.Glasscock, her daughter, aged 61 years; Mrs. Mattie Leckby. aged 59.

jours; Mrs. P. McCloy, a'ged 75 years; Mrs. Julia Lee Smith, aged 68 years; Mrs. Sarah Johnson, aged 59 years; Mr.

Thomas Smith, aged 74 years, and Major Cain, aged 80 years. We doubt whether there has ever been such a nuaiber of aged and talented people assembled on a similar occasion iu this part of Texas. The company dispersed after congratulating Mrs. Gloyd and each other, and hoping all to meet at tlie same placi! for the same purpose one year from to-day. HYDROPHOBIA CASES.

CURED BY TURKISH BATHS. MILWAUKEE, December hypothesis that vigorous trcatmeutof Turkish baths administered in the early stages would ft'cctually cure hydrophobia seems liklcy to be proved, for Joseph Krebla, a Bohemian--employed in the car-shops here --was so treated upon showing premonitory symptoms after having been bitten by 11 mad dog. The symptoms have now disappeared and the man expects to resume work to-day. VKDEB PASTEUR'S CABK.

PISTOL PRACTICE AT WACO, FATAL FRACAS OVER A GAME OF CARDS. A Ball in Lewis Osburn's Thigh--Bob Prather Puts a Ball Through a Car Driver's Hat. to Tlie News. WACO, December front door of Tom Curjbino's establishment was burst open last night shortly after it had been closed. Tho proprietor, who was still iu- i ide, grabbed a pistol, ruehed on the pavement and opened fire on the first person iu sight, who chanced to be Lewis Osburn, colored.

The ball took effect in the right thigh, and has laid him up for repairs. matter is being investigated by the authorities. Osburn says he was on his way hoiua when shot down. Caribiuo, it is alleged, wan very full at the time. Bob Prather, colored, was put off the Fif (h street city car line, last night, by the driver, for refusing to pay his fare.

As the driver moved oft with his car, Prather drew his hip-pocket piece and begun pistol practice, with tlie bead of the driver as tho turget. After firing the second shot the negro broke for the suburbs, making gnod Iris escape. One of the balls passed through the hat o' the Prather was orresMl this evening, and fined fi'rtvr currying a pistol. Mo f-riiuimi) complaint has yet ueea pled against Mai. A fatal encounter occurred at Bosquevilla yftttcrdfty between Pres Wilson and AUen Hunter.

The quarrel ovigiuted during a pame of cards. Wilson won tlie pot, when. Unnter prnbbed the stake nnd went for pistol. Wilson was too quick for him, and got Ihe drop. The money was surrendered and the pi rties separated.

Subsequently Hunter attacked Wilson in his house, get- i two deliberate but ineffectual shots at him. Wilson ran out of the rear door and as he turned- the corner of the house was cunfrented by Hunter, who got another shot at Wilson. The latter then fired, and Hunter fell dead. This is one of three vpr- sions of tlie encounter, and the one accepted being the most reliable. Both parties are colored.

The deceased bore the reputation of being a desperado among people of his race. Vilson lias sent word to the authorities that he will come iu to-night and. surrender himself. SUICIDE. Jndgt Goode, ol Loniiinna, Blow! Out Xraini in a Hott Deliberate Kanner.

Special to The Xcws. NEW ORLEANS, December F. 3. Koodc, of the Nineteenth Judicial district, committed suicide, this morniug, by blowing out hU brains. At the time he was at his home, the Ridgeloud plantation, iu Tcrrebonne parish.

He rose about the utual hour, and had partly completed hia toilet, when the thought of ending his life was carried into execution. His method of suicide was as novel as it was effective. Taking a double-barreled shotgun, heavily loaded, he cocked the piece, tied strings to the triggers and attached them to his great toes-ana placed the muzzlo of the gun against tlie forehead. Pressing upon uie strings with his toes he discharged both barrels at the same-time. By some disarrangement or miscalculation one of the loads failed to take effect.

The other, however, made a frightful wound in tha bend, blowing out tie brains. Death seema to have been instantaneous. When tha startled household rushed into tie chamber of death Judge Goode wa.s lying on tha floor, entirely past all hope. The fatal act of the unfortunate gentleman is ascribed to severe losses following his sugar planting operations and to sickness and death in his family. He has been much depressed in spirits for time in consequence.

Judge Goode had been prominent in his section oJ the State as planter and politician for many years. 'In. he was a state senator, and was chairman of the judiciary committee during the latter part of his term. When tlfc Democrats controlled the legislature iu 1879 he was elected judge of his district--an office he has held ever since. Until the last cmpaijrnjlie was aDemocrat, then hejoined the small bund of sugar-planters who declared for Blaine on tie protection issue.

Judge Goode was a native of Alabama, but hud lived iu Louisiana since Ms childhood. He was 5S years of age. EL PASO. Additional Particular! of the Apuhe Attack ia Hew Mexico, Special to The EL PASO, December particulars of the fight between regular troops and the Apaches, in the vicinity of Silver City, N. were brought to El Paso to-day by the train from the west.

It is now believed, in addition to the physician aud four privates which were killed, more tha a a balf dozen citizens met deaths nt the bauds of the savages. Everybody is leaving the country, even the cowboys and ranchmen, and desolation aud depopulation are met everywhere. The larger ranchers are left at the mercy of the Indians, who are well provided with ammunition and seem determined to carry tie war through Uie winter. Several families have reached El Paso from the infested district, and dozens of women and chUd- reu have been sent to other towns for safety. The troops massacred were a part of Fountain's command aud were scouring the territory iu which the late bloody fight had taken place.

They were shot by die savages from behind rocks and were killed in a few moments. Other portions of the command, which consisted, all told, of thirty-five men, met dead bodies in numerous places, the result of the work of the Indians several days previous.
