GOLDTHWAITE'S TRAGEDY.
Osborn Still Alive—Wonder That Others
Were Not Shot.
Goldthwaite, Mills Co., Tex., June 10.—C.
H. Osborn, who was shot by Chas. Rohl
last evening, Is still ullve but the physicians
think him in a dangerous condition. They
think one or two balls are in his body,
though they failed to probe the wounds.
Osborn is a single man. Rohl has a wife.
Jealousy way the cause of the trouble.
The wonder Is that ot'her persons were not
killed at the time, as there were four ladles
and two gentlemen sitting at the table
with Osborn at the time of the shooting,
'['hey began screaming and running through
the room. After Kohl had shot twice Os-
borh attempted to get to him but was too
■weak. He then backed out of the dining
room through the hotel oflice to the side-
walk. Rohl followed and after emptying
Ills pistol Struck him seven or eight severe
licks on the head, fracturing the skull.
Osborn has no relatives here. He and Rohl
were formerly partners in the grocery busi-
ness here, lie is an Odd Fellow and Mason.

WOOLEN SCHEDULE,
Expected to Develop One of the
Most Important of the
Tariff Debates.
ABOUT NIGHT SESSIONS.
Important Bills Struggling for Priority in
the House—Opposition to Fithian's
Free Shipping Bill.
Washington, June 10.—It is expected on
both side® of tihe senate chamber that the
woolen schedule Will be reached during the
present week in the consideration of the
tariff dill. There its a tacit agreement
among the republican and democratic lead-
ers that the debate shall be continued un-
der the five-minute rule on the wines and
cotton manufactures schedule. Senator
Aldrich, as represent tive of the republican
side of the dhamber, to-day expressed the
opinion that these schedules will be dis-
posed of with very 11 title delay. He said
tha't -the understanding fur five-minute
speeches would not be continued when the
woolen schediule would be reached, and he
expressed the opinion that three or four
day3 debaite would be necessary before the
woolen schedule Is acted upon. Some of'
the democratic leaders think the schedule
may be disposed of in the two days. This
schedule vviM deve.bp one of the most im-
portant debates connected with the bill.
Next to the duty on sugar, free wool has
attracted more attention than any other
item in the bill, and there can be no doubt
that many republican senators will make
speeches vigorously assailing the demo-
cratic position.
The democrats, while not expecting or
hoping to secure consideration of this
s»dhedule under the tive-inlnuite rule, are
nevertheless hopeful that tdiey can make
an arrangement for itfhe fixing of definite
number of days for the debate. It is un-
derstood this lis one end they have in view
and aire arranging t'he preliminaries for
night sessions, as th-y have been doing in
securing pledges o«f democratic senators lo
remain until t'he -steering committees shall
consent to adjourn each day. This is to
be an elastic arrangement, and1 tihe late
night sessions will be resorted to only In
case of evident determination on the part
of the republican senators to delay a vote.
This is not expected on any of ithe items
which precede the woolen schedule, nor do
many senators think it will be undertaken
In that connection. The democratic lead-
ers. 'however, regard i't best to be prepared
to meet the emergency if it should present
itself. They desire als >. if it should prove
that tlhere are'to be an unexpected number
of long speeches on the woolen sdhedule,
to work them off as rapidly as possible,
even if they have to resort to nighit ses-
sions for that purpose.
"We do not," said Senator Harris, "want
to impose any unnecessary hardships, but
we want to make an 'u.pretssion on the bill
during the week."
HOUSE PROGRAMME.
Washington, June 10.—'The Indian ques-
tion in its various ram ill cations on schools,
agents, rations and supply depots will con-
tinue to occupy the attention of the house
tJhe early days of the coming week. Judge
Holmam, in charge of the bill, said 'do-day
that he expected to pass the bill by Tues-
day night, if he was not obliged to sur-
render on Monday to District of Columbia
legislation, in whi'ch case he expects a vote
Wednesday. After that t/here are a num-
ber of important bill® struggling for prior-
ity. The general deficiency blli will be re-
ported to the hoi is- on Tuesday, and ('hair-
man Sayers of the appropriation committee
will urge its immediate consideration in
order to clear the calendar of appropria-
tion bills. Representative Sayers will be
in charge of th • deficiency bill, notwith-
standing the fact that Representative
Breckinridge Is elmirman of the dellclencv
subcommittee. In is expected that Repre-
sentative Hatch will try to have the anti-
option bill follow the Indian bill. Repre-
sentative Cooper of Indiana also expects to
have a day set apart soon for his bill au-
thorizing the taxation of greenbacks.
Representative Livingston, of Georgia Is
pressing the bill for government aid to the
coitton exposition at Atlanta. Chairman
Culberson of the judiciary committee also
wants an early recognition for several im-
portant bills affecting federal court pro-
cedure, and the territorial statehood bills
are being vigorously pressed to the front.
No exact order -1 priority for these bills
has yet been made, but t'hey are measures
WhiCh are to receive the earliest attention.
THE SHIIWNG BILL.
Washington, June * 10.—The republican
minority of the house committee on mer-
chant marine and fisheries has submitted
to the house a report against the free
shipping bill introduced by Representative
Flthian of Illinois, which the democratic
faction of the committee has recommended
to the house. Representative Perkins of
Iowa is the author of the /report, and It
also bears the signature of Representatives
G-ilteitt of Massachusetts and Phil.Hips of
Pennsylvania.
"The measure is more fitly entitled to
designation as a bill to destroy American
shipbuilding in the Interests of foreign
countries," says Mr. Perkins. "The report
of the majority is wholly occupied in plac-
ing the worst possible estimate upon the
•present condition of our merchant marine.
The minority are not disposed to accept
so dark a view, nor disposed to make argu-
ment wholly on 'he darker side. The
majority confine t cmselves to the most
discouraging vle.v of American competitive
efforts and make this the only excuse for
an abandonment of a distinctive national
policy that has been undisturbed through
all the successive changes of partly admin-
istration since in initiation ut the very
threshold of out government. No attempt
is made to claim that the passage of this
bill into law w ' I prove helpful to the
government of United States or to the
shipping Interest of all citizens. The propo-
sition is for an unconditional surrender to
foreign powers, both of the prolits and safe-
guards Involved the maintenance of our
independence a- the builder of our own
ships. That th- adoption of this course
would prove h:r '1> satisfactory to Great
Britain and imp l ant marine powers can
not be questional; that it would prove a
humiliation to this republic, a certain dis-
grace and a p • - .i»1 e disaster, may be ac-
cepted as equally probable."
The discussion >>:' the question, continues
the report, ma. be carried on apart from
the matter of ^unties" and "subsidies,"
to which the ma.i I'ity of the committee de-
vote so much a ntion. kit Is improbable
that a bounty system In the sense pointed
out 'would be r» - »rted to, and yet the
statement is qno1.' I of an American ship-
builder that st< i :nship owners who perform
public service by transporting ocean mails
undoubtedly e>P ' lJ;*y for it, and there
is no reason w: * this country may not
pay for such e-^.ce as well as countries
with which it h chiefly In competition.
During the year ^ England, France, Ger-
many, Russia i' 1 Italy paid roughly $10,-
057,8% for tran nation of mails by sea.
England is ack . .vledged to have been so
entirely succes ln Its maritime policy
that it Is now u'ged as useless for the
United States i -uand out longer against
the complete domination by England of the
shipping of this country.
Tta# question •» whether If we art*
to depend upon foreign ships because they
are cheaper, IC foreign countries should
h we been depended upon for the new navy
and an inferior line secured, and thus retard
the development of establishments which
are able to compete with the British ad-
miralty for the contracts. It is said to be
settled that the United States can build
as good ships as any country and build
them cheaper than any country, save Kng-
land. But for the law of 1T'J2 this country
could not have dreamed of competing with
England for building her own ships. There
is said to be less reason now for assaulting
our navigation laws than at any time since
the war, particularly since the Held of
profitable employment Is now reduced. The
first cost of the ships is said not to be the
controlling consideration, but it is profitable
employment. So long as foreigners protect
themselves the carrying trade can not be
taken away by the expedient of free ships.
It would be folly to abandon building iron
ships when the work has Just commenced.
That the wages of American seamen are
30 per cent higher than those paid abroad
is said to explain why so many foreigners
ship with us. it is not so desirable to
have the cheapest ships as the best ships.
The extension of free registry to vessels
engaged in coastwise trade is held to be
the natural consequence of the proposed
system. In conclusion, it is noted tli.it no
appeal has come from shipping interests to
congress for the change.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.
Brenham, Tex., June 10.—Sheriff Teague
returned from Gay Hill on the south bound
Santa Fe passenger train at G.30 o'clock
this afternoon with four prisoners, whom
he jailed. Tlhey are Fritz Ganske, Ed
Ganske, Andrew Ha bell and Chos. Habell.
None of them are apparently over 21 years
of age. The boys were seen by a News
representative to-nijpht, and from them it
was learned that there was a birthday
party last night at the residence of Geo
Habell. father of the defendants, four miles
east of Gay Hill, and there was a dance
at Henry Broeker's house, a mile away.
The two Ganske brothers and another boy
named Theodore i^ange went to the birth-
day party together. While there the de-
fendants say Lange raised a disturbance
and Fritz Ganske tried to quiet him. They
quarrelled and Lange was struck. After
this Lange left the house, and mounting
his horse went down to the ball. At about
11 o'clock he returned in company with
Win. Pt'trich, Fritz Boeker, H. Priebe, Otto
prot'-sietr, Herman Bernhardt, Oto Wen-
zi-1 a.nd several others. Some of the.se
were cursing when they reached the gate,
un.I they said they wanted to see the man
who hit Theodore Lange. Old man Geo.
1 label! tried to keep them from coming
into the yard, and shutting: the gate
fcitoi.'.l against it. Lange and his crowd
broke the gate oipen and shoved the old
man d »w n. After this they came Into the
yard. Fritz Ganske, when they called him,
•-aid. "Hue I am," and came forward.
Somebody knocked Fritz Ganske down. As
soon as he could scramble to his feet
Ganske went Into t'he house. There was a
general row' after this, an.d blows were
given ami taken on all sides. Two pistol
shots were tired. They Lange crowd w«n
finally routed. It was found thiat Oto
Wenzel had been cut in the left breast and
on bt th airms with a knife. He died about
2 o'clock in the morning. Herman Bern-
hardt was cut across the face and shot
through the head, the bail entering near
the left ear and ranging downward through
the upper lip. When the sheriff left Gay
Hill about 8 o'clock thus afternoon Bern-
hardt was reported dying from his wounds.
Ed Ganske was cut in the back. Mrs.
IJockstadt, one of the guests at the birth-
day party, was struck over the head and
knocked down, and several others o«n both
sides were -bruised. Both the pistol shots
were fired on the outside of the house,
one of them striking Bernhardt and the
other came into the house through one of
the windows, narrowly missing several peo-
ple. and buried! itself in the wall near the
fireplace. The defendants all deny having

The Dead Bandit at Ardmore Is
Recognized as One of the
Longview Robbers.

take—A Shock to the Mother.
Ardmore, I. T., June 10.—Sheriff J. C.
Howard, accompanied by Frank Fisher and
J. C. Lucy of Longview. arrived here at
12.15 this morning and were met at the sta-
tion by a number of deputies from both
the Paris and Sandyland courts. The News
correspondent was also on hand and joined
the crowd which at once repaired to the
undertaker's esta'blisment for the purpose
of establishing the identity of the dead
bandit as one of the Longview bank rob-
bers. The flickering candle but partly light-
ed the embalming room, which looked hide-
ous with Its columns of coffins, caskets and
paraphernalia of the dead plied up on every
side, in the center of this array on a pine
bier covered with a thin sheet lay Bill
Dalton, king of outlaws, since the days ol'
the James boys, and a commanding look-
ing man even in death. There was a mo-
ment of suspense when the sheet which
covered the rigid features was raised and
the Texas officers peered long and earnestly
at the distorted and swollen features.
The News correspondent was surprised
to find that the goatee and mustache of the
dead outlaw which, when he last saw It.
wu-s black had changed its color to a dark
auburn or sandy color. It was explained
to him that liill doubtless was a fastidious
man and used hair dye, which when coming
In contact with the undertaker's fluid as
used for embalming, had restored his
goatee and mustache to their natural au-
burn color. Mr. Fisher asked to see Bill's
teeth, stating that at Longview when lie
smiled after his success in looting the bank
they showed up very white. The lips were
iforoed aipart. The eytv? were forced open.
His hands and every feature were examined
closely. The blood from the bullet wound
had gone to the head and it being such
extra hot weather the embalming fiuld was
not as perfect as It otherwise would have
been, as it was twelve or fifteen hours
after the killing before the body could be
delivered to the undertaker. Hence the
features were somewhat swollen and dis-
colored. The bloodstained shirt, the hat,
coat, vest, pants, in fact every article of
clothing worn by the dead bandit, was
closely examined by the Texas officers.
"These are not the pants," said Fisher,
as Sheriff Howard held up a pair of black
checkered worsted pants. "The pants the
big fellow wore when with us were blue."
he said. Hut the moment fisher's eyes
rested on the boots this established the fact
of his being one of the Longview bank
robbers beyond all dionbt. "That's 'him;
he's the (big one that was with them. Tin s'
are the identical boots; 1 know them by
the pec'Vjlar patches in front," remarked
Fisher, and The News correspondent no-
ticed two large diamond shaped patches on
each boot, which were partly torn loose
when the same were removed by the mar-
shals from the once famous William's feet.
"1 would know those boots anywhere,"
con tinned Fisher. "They are strangely pe-
culiar In their make and patches."
Sheriff Harris and J. C. Lucy also con-
firm Fisher that the dead bandit ds one of
the Longview robbers.
When questioned by The News corres-
pondent, Mr. Fisher replied: "No, I did not
witness the robbery of the bank, nor can
1 say that the dead robber participated in
the robbery, but he was with them the day
before the robbery was committed. 1 fished
with the four robbers down the river and
loaned them my boat. 1 saw a great deal
of them tha't day. Bennett, who was killed
ln the encounter at the hank, was one of
the number, and the dead man on the bier
was his companion."
A TOUCHING SCENE.
Ardmore, I. T.. June 10.—Chas. Benjamin
Dalton, elder brother of the dead outlaw,
who resides near Kingfisher, Ok., reached
here this morning. The brother is a pros-
porous farmer and has never been an of-
fender of the law. The meeting between
th dead bandit's wife and brother was
most affecting, and brought tears to the
eyes of the spectators. Whatever may have
been Bill Dalton's faults in life and what-
ever crimes he may have committed, nu-
merous 'though they were, he was an af-
fectionate father, i loving husband, and
his wife mourns his death with a wife's
sincerity and devotion. Mr. Dalton at once
repaired to the undertaker's to view the re-
mains. Benjamin's lips quivered as he
gazed on ithe stern features of his outlaw
brother, now slightly colored and somewhat
swollen, and tears came to his eyes. "Yes,
that's Bill Dalton, my brother." Like the
rest of the world he was expecting to find
his brother's death a mistake.
To The News reporter Mr. Dalton said
that their mother had Just revived from a
severe siege of sickness when the news of
her son's death reached her. It was a ter-
rifbl shock to the old lady, who is in feeble
health, and the shock caused a relapse.
Their mother Is in a critical condition and
can not come to view the remains of her
son.
It is known that a snug sum of money
was captured at the rendezvous where Bill
Dalton was killed. The amount, however,
can not be learned, as the officers are very
reticent In the matter, and while they -io
not deny the prize being secured, they will
give out no Information concerning it. The
$275 found concealed on the person of tin-
dead bandit will be turned over to his wife,
as it rightfully belongs to her if no one
lays claim to it.
MRS. DAI/TON ADMITS IT.
Ardmore, I. T., June 10.— Mrs. Dalton,
wife of Bill, the notorious outlaw, to-day
admitted that her late husband was the
leuder of the Longview bank robbers.
The other members of the gang were
Tom Littleton. Jim Wallace and Charles
White, alias Jim Jones. Jim Wallace was
killed at Longview and is a brother of
Houston Wallace, where Dalton was stop-
ping when killed. Charles Benjamin Dal-
ton, the eldest of the Daltons, arrived
here to-day and identified the remains as
those of Bill. Officers of the Longview
bank also identified Dalton as the man
who presented the letter of Introduction
to the cashier.

BALANCED ON A STUMP.
Remarkable Wreck of a Boat 72 Feet Long
and 10 Feet Beam.
Orange, Tex., June 9.—<A shipwreck with-
out parallel in marine annals occurred on
the Sabine river at a point just
fifteen miles below Salem, on the
night of the tith instant. The
steamboat Dura, T. J. Davis master,
left Orange early that morning, made a
good day's run and tied up for the night,
as It was very dark and limbs hanging over
the bank made it very dangerous to pursue
her course without stronger headlights than
she carried.
The river was falling rapidly, and the cap-
tain to;)k the precaution to warn the watch-
man to see to it that the boat did not hang
up on the bank, as she was heavily loaded,
und he wanted to avoid unneccessary de-
lay.
At 4 o'clock on the morning of the 7thi
all hands were called, and as steam was
ready every preparation was made to let
go, when it was discovered that she would
not move. There was a good depth of
water all around her, and no log could be
found below. The captain got in his yawl
and took a pike pole, and after .prodding)
along under the hull discovered that she was
hard and fast on top of a stump. A stag**
pl ink was run out and all of her cargo put
on shore, but the river went down so rapidly
that she would not come off. By noon thei
water had left her bow. and before dark,
she sat almost perfectly level six inches out
of the water. On the morning of the Jjtl*
the river had receded, until there was a
clear space of three feet between any part
of the st-amer and the water, still on an
even keel.
The stump is tlai on top, Is about four*
teen inches in diameter, sound and sits (per-
fectly upright. The recent rise had cut!
away th • sand between it and the bank,
leaving quite a channel on the outside.
The I nn a i> a new boat, built of strong
long leaf yellow pine, 4x8 beams, planked
with 1x0 an 1 cell-d with 3xtj of the sania
kind of lumber, and well hog chained andl
braced. I'p to noon yesterday she was rest-
ing easy and balanced as nicely as if the
greatest care h id been exercised in placing
the stump at the very center of her weight.
The steamer Robert IC. Lee stopped along-
side of her at noon on the 8th, but Captain
Davis did not need any help. He thought
he would skid her off in a day or two. andl
that but iitt'e if any Injury would result
from the accident.
The Maule Howell passed up late than
afternoon and took the Dura's freight on
board, all in good order, and will deliver it
to the consignees. Had her bottom been
planked with oak th • stump would havei
gone crashing through it when the water
left her. She is 72 feet long and lt> feeO
beam.
