Ballinoeb, April 21. -News reaobed here at midnight last night that the stage which left here yesterday morning for San Augelo wits held Bp fifteen miles from this plaoe, by the same lone highwayman who compelled the driver and passengers to stand and deliver so effectually last winter, and for whose deeds Jim Newsom, of Concho oounty, was oon-vioted in the federal coort at Waco, and is now serving a life sentenoe in the penitentiary. There were thirteen passengers, and ti stage being unable to carry all, a haok was procured, which followed immediately behind. When oat fifteen the driver was ordered to halt by a man who, as well as the horse he rode, was thoroughly disguised.

The driver end passengers were ordered to get out and stand in a tow, after which the robber plaoed over taoh of their faces the same kind of a mask or can nsed last whiter, and re lieved them of their money, getting all they had. He then weat through the mail pouohes taking the registered packages. He held them for four hours, waiting for the stago from San Angelo, whioh, owing to man water, tolled to come. He then gave to each of them money -enough to pay for their dinner at the stage station, and wrote on the baok of a drummer card a oertinoate tout they were all brave, courageous meit, and would have defended themselves, but were unarmed. He asked the driver what be came of the smooth faced man who drove one of the stages last winter when he held them up.

He said that he had not yet been caught, and asked the driver if he was not a daisy. The driver says that this was the man who did the work last winter. Not one oat of fifty of our citizens here ever be lieved that Jim Kewsoin was the guilty party, and to-day's developments con clusively proves his lncooenoe. A BUBOLaK CAUGHT. A Bate Cracker Bushes Into the Arms an Officer.

Special Telegram to the Statesman. Bonham, April 21. A bold attempt at safe cracking was made last night at the roller mills of M. S. Fisher, one mile south from town.

About midnight some of the millers who live close to the mill heard an unusual noise in the mill, and upon examination discovered a man in the office with a sledge hammer, pounding on the door of the safe. A man was immediately dispatched to town for oflioers, who sooa arrived and surrounded the building, not knowing how many might be in the house. The oflioers had no more than taken their positions when, by an unexpected occurrence, the safe cracker was frightened from his game. The safe was sit ing ojose to the head of a stairway leading down in a cellar, and the licks showered of it caused it to take a sudden tumble down this course. This so frightened the man that he ran out of the door and into the arms of an officer.

When brought to town the man proved to be John Ireland, a former employe of the mills. His story is he oame to town last night on a late train for the speoial purpose of robbing the safe; that he once knew the combination but had forgotten it last night, hence his resort to the sledge hammer. By many he is supposed to be a slick hand at this business. DIED OF HIS WOUNDS. The Cold-Blooded Murder of Ray at Mineral Wells.

Special telegram to The Statesman. Minebal Wells, April 21. The shooting of County Commissioner L. M. Ray by E.

Whatley on the morning of April 19 resulted in the former's death last night at 1:25 o'clock. Parties came into town this morning for a bnrinl outfit and for Esquire Green to hold a coroner's inquest over the remains. Dr. M. E.

Bowers, the attending physician, reports that he was shot twice with a 45-calibre pistol, one shot entering at the left side of the spinal column, rupturing it, and throngh the liver below the dinnhraem and coming out on the lizht side. The other entered the back below the right shoulder blade, passing under the skin to the left side, tearing away a portion of the baokbone in its passage. 1 here were three eye-witnesses to the tragedy, and from what those tell, and from the state ment made by Mr. Ray himself before he died, it seems that the statement made yesterday, that it was a cold-blooded murder, is correct. Ray was shot while atDroaohine his own door by trie mnrderer from within.

There had been no previous altercation between the parties. Mr. Ray was one of the foremost citizens of Palo Pinto county, and his un timely and tragio death is lamented upon all sides. While a strong feeling prevails against the murderer in the community, vet it is believed no attempt will be made to interfere with the due process of trial. Nothing has been heard here from the prisoner since his arrest and inoarcera tion.

The theory of probable insanity as the motive or cause of the act has been entirely dispelled by the actions and talk of the murderer since the killing. Excitement Subsided.

The River and Harbor Bill is Brought up lor Discussion in the House. Cram and His $50,000 Lavaca Amendment is Heavily Sat Down Upon. FIFTITH CONGRESS. Washington, April 21. Immediately after the reading of the journal, the contest for consideration arose between the special order the homestead bill and the river and harbor bid.

An at'empt was made to arrive at an amioable arrangement whereby consideration of the special order should be postponed nntil May 1, but Mr. Breckinridge, of Ken tucky, fearing the tariff bill might be interfered with, interposed an objection. Finally the house refused yeas, 85; nays, 12(5 to consider the special order and the house went into committee of the whole on the river and harbor bill. Mr. Goff, of West Virginia, expressed belief in a system of internal improvements.

He was in favor of liberal appro priations for carrying on that system by which the country had been built up and extended and the interests of the people had been benefi'ed. Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, offered an amendment appropriating for improvement of the harbor of Phila-delpia, and for the removal of Smith's windmill and Pettry's island, or such part of them as may be necesfary; provided, that no part of this sum shall be expended nntil the title to the land shall be vested in United States, free of charge. Mr. Randal Baid the warrant for the amendment grew out of the law authorizing a survey, having for its objeot the removal of ob structions in the harbor between Phila delphia and Camden.

Mr. Blanchard, of Louisiana, speaking for the river and harbor committee, ex pressed bis entire approval of the amendment in its present shape. The amendment was adopted. Mr. Dibble, of South Carolina, moved to inorease from $350,000 to $500,000 the appropriation for improvement of the Charleston, S.

Lost. Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, in speaking to a verbal amendment, eg rotted he oould not give bis approval to the bill, as he favored a system of improving the great waterways as a safeguard against the ex tortion of railroad corporations. Bat this bill made the appropriations for rivers and harbors whioh would test the geographical knowledge of any gentleman to locate. The Forty-seventh congress had passed a river and harbor bill of $18,000,000, and the democrats had gone into ths next canvass and painted on their banners: "Down with the republican party because it passed this enormous bill." The verdict of the people had been against this ap- priation.

With this pieoe of history in bis memory he did not propose to vote for a bill which went beyond that whioh had been condemned by the popular verdict in 1882. Mr. Crain, cf Texas, offered an amend meet making appropriation of $50,000 for the construction of a harbor of refuge at Port Lavaca, Texas, and argued that many less important places where com merce was considerably less, had been given larger propriations than he asked for Port Lsvaoa. More than $500, 000 worth of merchandise had entered last year at this port. The amendment was rejected.

The committee then rose and the house adjourned. PROTECTING THE AUTHORS. Features of the Breckenridge Copyright Hill Reported to the House, Washington, April 21. The Brecken ridge copyright bill was to-day reported to the house by Mr. Coilins, of the judi ciary committee.

In the report the com mittoe says: "At last and for the first time, authors, publishers, typesetters, eleotrotypers binders, booksellers and all others engaged in making and distributing books, have, with similar unanimity, agreed npon bill which they ask congress to pass, Under its provisions the American author will have protection for his work, which is now denied him abroad because of our denial of the rights of all others. The passage of the bill will encourage and stimulate American authorship, de signing, engraving and all the arts that enter into the making of good books. By it our authors obtain a wide market, that of the whole world. It will, unquestion ably, raise the standard of literature also, by banishing "trashy" and "gaslight" literature from the field, angel from Heaven to harm that such stuff youth. It is certain It needs "no tell us" all the has done our that the best books, written by men and women all over the world will, under an international copyright, be sold in the United States for less than they are now sold and the consciousness of opinion and argu ment, pushed almost to demonstration, is that all other books will be sold for as low a prioe as they are now.

The passage of the bill will be just to our authorized publishers and artists, just to all authors, beneficial to our literature and honorable to our civilization." WASHINGTON NOTES. WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE. Washinoton, April 21. A meeting of the ways and means oommittee has been called for Monday morning.

Sensational Report From the New Mines North of Lake Superior. Chicago, April 21. Captain William Spaulding, of Sault St. Marie, is in the oity. He has just returned from the min ing country north of Lake Superior.

To a reporter he said that the finds of preo- ious metals made in the interior recently have been so numerous and rich that there will probably be a rush of people into the oountry as soon as ths season opens. "I would be afraid to tell yoa the value of some of the pieces of silver that I have seen taken out," said he, "because you oould hardly believe me. Silver is found almost pure. Much of the ore averages $2,800 to the ton, and occasionally the precious metal is found in a mass almost pure. "The mines are about 150 miles from the Lake.

The most reoent Btrike was the Wilde mine at Rabbit mountain. The product of this mine has so far exceeded the most sanguine expectations. Captain Spaulding is very enthusiastic over the new discoveries. SHERMAN'S MANAGERS. They Figure out His Strength In the Ap.

proaching Republican Convention. Chicago, April 21. A Washington special to-day says Senttor Sherman's managers have made a pretty oareful canvass in every section of the country, especially in the south, and is specially enabled to make an approximation of the strength the senator is likely to have in the convention on first ballot.

Tbey have figures in all of the states and territories, and make the senator's approximate strength at this time 812, with 411 votes necessary to a choice.

THE KANSAS LIQUOR LAW. Sent to Jail for two Years for Keeping; a "Liquor Joint." Wichita, April 21. A new step under the liquor law has been taken, which is said to be ths first instance of the kind on record. Attorney-general Hallowell has filed a petition to foreclose a lien of $3,200 on the property of Rosa Werner, a large brick block on the most prominent street in the city. The defendant had, it is claimed, knowingly rented her property to one Rode, for the purpose of running what is known as a liquor joint.

This man, on January 12, was convicted of violation of the liquor law, sent to the county jail for over two years, and fined $2,600 and cost of of suit. The importance of the suit be- oomes apparent when it is remembered that in many business blocks are fbund these joints, run by men irresponsible, and as willing to be paid for staying in jail as for keeping bar. All fines and costs against them which have thus accumulated and now amount to large sums will be charged npon the owner, and will no doubt be enforoed by exeoution, if the case is decided in favor of the state. BATTLE WITH OUTLAWS. Desperate Encounter With a Gang Desparadoes and Horse Thieves.

of Wichita, April 21. Horse thieves have become so daring in Texas and Kansas adjoining the Indian Territory and so unusually bold in their periodioal raids that the farmers formed a vigilance committee for the -purpose of exterminating the thieves. Some time ago the vigilantes, armed with Winchesters, six-shooters and laritas, started on the trail of the marauders, and ten days ago they suddenly ran across the thieves in a deep ravine in the western part of the territory. The outlaws were in their blankets, but not asleep. When the vigilantes rode np to the orest of the ravine, the thieves, who were in command of Bill Higgins, alias Scar-Face, sprang to their horses, hut in mounting, one of their number was shot dead.

The others put spurs to their animals and were soon throwing dust and bullets into the eyes of their Alter a furious ride, lasting all day, the vigilantes suooeeded in driving the gang npon a butte near a small oreek. As the vigilantes approached they were met by a volley which brought down one of their number, Peter Ackerman, of Medicine Lodge, Kao. The thieves were surrounded as well as possible and the fight continued. One by one the rifles of the outlaws were silenced until but a few flashes answered the vigilantes' rifles. About dusk, a white rag was hoisted on the summit of the butte.

The vigilantes greeted it with another volley, and oharged up the hill. Three of the outlaws escaped, but Scarfaoe, Hank Windom and Curly Bill were oiptured. Curly Bill and Wisdom were riddled with bullets, but Scarf ace, although nearly dead from loss of blood, was dragged to death snspended by a lariat from the pommel of a saddle. Four other members of the gang were fonnd dead behind their stone barriers. GRANT'S BIRTHDAY.
