San Antonio June 28. To-day at noon
the grand jury of Medina county brought
in an indictment ngaiust Sheriff F.
Thumm charging him with murder in the
first degree for killing J. W. Hildebrand
the young San Antonio real estate
dealer and lawyer who met with such a
horrible and tragic death at Castroville
last week. As the case cannot be for-
mally tried upon its merits uutil the Sep-
tember term of the district oourt a mo-
tion for a habeas corpus hearing has been
made before Judge Tom Paschal for the
purpose of scouring bail if possible
which will no doubt be . heard
without delay. In the meantime the
sheriff is iu the custody of Constable
Galbraith. It is aiso surmised that in
September Judge Paschal would post-
pone the case for trial to some other
county on a change of venae. While the
'.killing of so estimable a young man as
Mr. Hildebrand has created no excitement
and no threats of vengeance there is yet
a very decided public opnion here at least
that the killing was no less than a murdor
most foul.

TTJRHING STATE'S EVIDENCE.
A Man Voluntarily Surrenders Who Bays
He is a Train Robber.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
Shebman June 28. This evening a
German about 40 years of age giving
his name as Jim Jackson who has been in
the city only a few days was go-
injp about the streets in a drunken
condition and approaching Mr. J
Long a well known oitizen told him
that he was one of the robbers that had
recently robbed the train at Flatonia and
that he wanted to give himself np to the
sheriff and turn state's evidence against
several of the robbers whom he would
point out. Jackson was turned over to
the police officers who plaoed him in the
city lookup to await further develop-
ments. Jackson is evidently under an
assumed name as he is a German and
speaks English very brokenly. He states
that he was with Sam Bass when he was
.killed near Round Rock; also
""that he was walking through
the coach at the Flatonia
train robbery when one of the other
robbers struok the lady over the head
with a pistol and that this is the reason
he is willing to betray them as it was a
nowardlv aot. He states that he left
Timinr nhnnt two weeks BBO. but refuses
"rniawer other nnestions regarding the
robberv. The case will be thoroughly in
vestigatedby the officers and other arrests

The Iron Industry of the youth
From the New Orleans Tlmee-Dsmocrat.
Pittsburg and the entire Pennsylvania
ooal and iron district are beooming
alarmed over the rapid growth of the irou
industry of the south. Many Pennsyl
vauiaus who have been down south have
spoken so flatteringly of its advantages
that this alarm is not to oe wonuerea a.
Even Mr. Kalley himself the warmest and
sturdiebt advocate and friend of the Key
stone state was compelled to admit his
fears that Alabama could make pig iron
more cheaply than any save the most
favored portions of Pennsylvania and
that the manufacturers of the latter state
would have to devote themselves more and
more to certain special iron industries in
which they exoelled. Other Pennsyl
vanians who oame south inoluding owners
of furnaces and rolling plants not only
reported in favor of Alabama but actually
moved their establishments to me soma
be'oanse it offered them greater advan-
tages in the raw materials than in their
own Btate.
So universally favorable have been these
reports that a number of the rittsourg
manufacturers who had beoome alarmed
nvnr the iron boom in the sonth sent an
agont down here a short time ago to in
vestigate it carefully to report the abso
lute facts and whether they had anything
to fear.' This agent Mr. T. K. MoKnight
reports as follows:
The fever to build in inoBe states is
almost unparalleled. Capitalists from the
west the north and even icom j&ngiana
are rushing in building iron-works of
every description wherever they can se-
cure a foothold of available territory.
In the time I was there I heard
of fifty corporations with plans tor
bhilding in the near future. At est
Nashville alone there were thirteen among
whioh were bolt works iron furnaces and
steel works. Some time ago the town
had a publio sale of lots for building pur-
poses. In three days it had realized $285-
000 and that town is but newly laid out.
The Webt Nashville Steel Iron and Char-
coal company is now building two fur
naces with a capacity or 180 tons eaou.
At Sheffield Ala. the Tennessee Coal and
Irou Railway company is . building
a furnace ot liu tons capacity.
The Sheffield Irori oompany is building
a furnaoe of 180 tons capacity. At Annis
ton Ala. the Noble brothers are building
a furnace. At Bessemer Ala. the De Bar
deleben Iron company is building two
furnaces. At Woodstock Ala. the iron
company of that name is also building a
furnace. At Birmingham the Tennessee
Coal and Iron oompany with a capital of
$1000000 is putting up four new furnaces
with a oapacity of 900 tons a day. unat.
tanooga is to-day congratulating hersei:
on having the nrst steei ran mm m
the south. It is called the Roan Iron
oompany and the mill was put in opera-
tion last week. At' Louisville the Union
Pipe company have just erected a new
oast-iron pipe works. This oonveys but
a faint idea of the craze which is possess-
ing capitalists to invest in the southern
iron business. Tha oountry is literally
alive with schemes
There is very little comfort in this for
the Pennsylvanians; indeed no "stronger
or more favorable report" has been made
in regard to the iron industry of the
south and if it has any effect it

Milwaukee Wis. June 28. A fire al
most swept tho town of Marshttold out of
existence yesterday afternoon and 2000
people are homeless ine loss is uot less
than $1000000. All oommunioation by
wire is cut off and it is almost impossible
to learn the particulars. A locomotive
spark started the blaze at noon in the
lumber yard of Upham's furniture fao-
tory aud it rapidly developed into a roar-
ing fire that spread toward the town. In-
sufficient fire protection facilities pre
vented any resistance to the flames and
soon several flourishing factories the bus
iness blocks along Main street and ad-
joining residences were wrapped in
flames. People gathered snoh housohold
effeois as they oould and tied to
the woods. The heat was so intense that
2.500 feet of the Wisoonsin Central rail
road track which runs through one end
of the town was bent and twisted into the
most grotesque shapes. Special trains
from Stevens' Point and Chippewa nana
conveyed fire engines to the place but the
fire was beyond control. But one store
and a few half burned houses remain of
a flourishing town.
Mmy people were transferred by spec-
ials to neighboring towns and others
camped on the outskirts of the town
Among the buildings destroyed were a
woodonware factory grist mill saw mill
and faotory of the Upham Manufacturing
comoanv. and the Tremont and several
minor hotels warehouses along the Wis

and the entire business oenter. The in
