THE LATEST SEN-
SATION IN PARIS.
A Woman Who Had Been Detain-
ed in a Room by Her Mother
for Twent'-five Years
Liberated.
Paris June S. The sensation of
the week has been the arrest of
Mine. Mouier. a rich miserly land
owner of the neighborhood of
Poiiers and her son a former snb-
prefect of the department of Vien-
ne and a leader of Poiters society
on the charge of incarcerating
Mile. Blanch Mouier daughter of
Mine. Mouier for twenty five years
in a room of Mine. Monier's house.
The police were anonymously
notified of the woman's detention
entered the house and found Mile.
Mouier shut up in a room in dark-
ness lying on a mattress shirk
naked and so ' emaciated that she
appeared to be n living skeleton.
The room was covered with filth
bones refuse food worms rats
and all kind ot vermin. The nn-
fortnnate woman who had partial-
ly lost her reason was taken to a
hospital. It was thought sha would
die but she is now improving.
Twenty-five years ago she was a
beautiful bnmette and fell in love
with a lawyer without means. Hor
mother disapproved of their love
and confined her in the room which ;
she has only recently left. The
son after his arrest pleaded that
he acted as he did ou account of
filial piety aud that the mother was j
responsible. Ihe lawyer died in
18S5.
There was another dramatic :
scene m the case today. .Mine.
Mouier died in prison of heart dis
ease. The crime was brought home i
to her. as the judge expressed it.

Hail By Wagon-Loads.
San Angeio Texas June 5.
Persons coming from Knickerbock-
er in this county about eighteen
miles from here brine a most re
markable hail story. On the night
of May 25 hail fell at the point
named and .vicinity in large stones
and great quantities. The stones
are said to have reached a size as
large as an average man's fist and
the hail still remains in' large quan
cities in draws and depressions in
the earth to a depth of several feet.
Residents of Knickerbocker are
"making hay while the sun shines'
a'nd bringing the hail by wagon-
loads to the town for cooling pur-
poses storing it away in dugouts
storm pits and other place? where
it will last longest. A party of
well known San Augeloites brought
back a quantity of the hail to this
1 city and ma1' stones were still as
large as goose eggs.
PRESS ItNFLUENCE.
"Not n great political move-
ment not an industrial awaken-
ing uofc a religious revival uot a
!. great social reform of the age oc
curs but receives the greater part
of its momentum and success from
the aid of the press."
So &poke Marcellus Foster of
the Houston Post before the Texas
Press association.
The press is a might' power for
good and likewise for evil al-
though it must be said that in the
(long run under the law of the
'fittest the rood outnumber tho
bad newspapers
Great political movements aie
not always wise. They strike at
the foundations of social order.
At such times certain newspapers
lend themselves to fauniug the
u .
names. Here is great danger.

IT WILL BE A TEST CASE
Suit For Valne tr Wheat Lost At
Galveston.
W.ieo . Texas June S. The
Pioner Mill and IOfevator company
of Stamford Jones county filed a
suit in the county county court
of McLennan county today iu
i which the Texas Central Railway
company the Liouston and Texas
Central Railroad company and the
Gnlf Colorado and Santa Fe Rail-
way company are defendants. The
object of the suit is to recover
$346 the price of 500 bushels of
wheat delivered to the Texas Cen-
tral KailwM- company at Stamford
Texas August 25 1900 consigned
to Charles F. Orthwein & Sous
Galvestou Texas. The plaintiffs
allege they can get no accounting
for the graiu from the railway
companies or from the exporters.
The case will be a hard fought
oje as it involves the liability of
the railroad company tor consign-
ment delivered in the Galveston
flood
Castaways Rescued.
New York. The four men who
have been ' practically abandoned
on Navassa Island in the West
Indies since last April will be
brought to New York on the
steamship Alps which is due here
on June 12. The Alps left here
for Cape Haytien on May IS and
was due to stop for the men on her
ontward trip. So it is expected
that by this time they aro off the
island. They are James A. Wood-
ward William A. Phmphrey John
Hill and John A. Bell all of
Baltimore. .
The men were left to their own
resources owing to' a dispute be-
tween the partners who controlled
the phosphate outpnt of the island.
At one time they had no food at
all with the bare exception of
what they could trap and shoot on
the bare island. They succeeded
in hailing a British warship and
from her they secured a supply of
provisions. The government yacht
Mayflower went to Navassa with
six days' supply. This was in tho
latter part of March. They have
received no outside aid. Just prior
to the war with Spain they under-
went some hardships. The phos
pate company wenfc into the hands
of a receiver during the Spanish
war.
A late telegram from Beeville
says: "mere is now the finest
prospect for a canteloupe crop ever
known in this section. If nothing
happens to ruin the melons the
shipments from here next month
will be heavy and will briug in
retnfn tnonsands of dollars to the
growers. The crop has already
beau sold for 45 cents a crate the
buyer furnishing the crates."
