I Today the abroad covers the silent form which once contained the soul of the generous, the gallant, the kind hearted John (fotnlmun. Ritter tears have been shed by an aged father anti mother, and the hearts of sisters and brothers are wrung with deep agony. Last night at 7 :f>0 the young man shot himself through the head with a 15 caliber Colt's revolver, the bullet entering just above the right ear and coming out near the top of the head, lodging in the ceiling. 'rime will never reveal whether the lie. d was accidental. John was sitting at his ilc-slv in the rear of the store closing up the day’s business. Mr. Jno. Booth usually assisted him in closing tip the sales, putting the books in the safe, etc. Hi; went to the olTico to assist John in the final work. Seeing that the young man was writing, ho asked him if lie was writing ti letter, and John replied that he was. Mr. Booth reirmrki'il, “Well, I’ll sit here till you linish,” sitting down on a high oflice stool. Mr. Booth hits been sick several days anil was suffering with vertigo. He leaned his head over on the desk, and thinks he must have gone to sleep. In a few minutes he was startled by a pistol shot, and hastily turning around saw that Joint had shot himself ’[trough the head. Mr. Booth sprung to the dying i man’s side, saying, “My Cod, John ! why have you ilone this?” But thare was no reply. The deadly missle had already done its terrible work. The rich life blood of John Coodtnan gushed from the jugged, gaping hole in the head and ran down in little rivulets on the floor. Mr. Booth, aided by the clerks and others who hud been at tracted to toe store by the pistol shot, laid the dying man down on the floor. Sam Coodman came in a few sec onds later, and his wife, accompanied by Miss Sailie Coodman, Will and Frank Coodman, and other ridatives soon arrived on the scene. The grii-f of (hi' stricken ones was beyond de scription and their agonizing cries were most pitiful to hear. Sam was so overcome at the sight of his brother lying on the floor sweltering in his own blood that lx* fuinttd anil had to be carried from the scene. A physician was sent for, but of course he could do nothing, and after a few gasping breaths John expired. The body was prepared for burial by Undertaker .Spear nnil then car ried to the residence of Mr. Fam Coodman, Jr., on West Krwin street. Mr. Sam Coodman, Sr., and wife and daughter, Miss Raimdia, hud been sent for and arrived sometime before the corpse was carried to tlm house. The grief of the father-und mother and sisters anil brothers and other relatives as they viewed the re mains brought ti.'urs tn the eyes of all present. John had been unfortunate in the matter of aeeidents during the past few years, having been dangerously hurt several times, the most serious one occurring about live months ago, falling as lie did down a Might of stairs over his place of business. A fearful gusli was cut on his head in the fali. At times after his recovery he had been known to suffer from this injury to the extent of causing his relatives to feel anxiety for him. Through carelessness in handling firearms he hud hurt himself several times; and coupled with other accidents of his, it is the opinion of many friemls tiiut the shot last night was accidental. This opinion is further stregthened in the fact that ho was successful in business and surrounded by pli asant kindred ties and worthy and social companions. The letter which John h-ft Sam was in regard to his will, giving di rections on tills point. It was dated June (i and contained nothing of speidal interest to the public. A few minutes before the shooting John was talking to clerks in the store on some husim ss matters, and it was noticed that parts of ids con versation was somewhat discon nected. Mr. W. li. Robinson, of tiie Cotton Belt, was also talking to John some time before tho shooting. Mr. Rob inson, however, did not notice any thing strange in John's conduct, but they '.nude all arrangements to go to Gilmer today to attend to some busi ness matters and were going to make the trip together. John Goodman was the second son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam V. Goodman, lie was born in Tyler in 1N70, and wa* therefore twenty-nine years of age. He received a common school education in Tyler anil later went to Poughkeepsie. N. Y., where he t mk a course in Fust man's Business Col lege, graduating with distinction. Upon returning from school lie occu pied a position with Gaston A Ratter- son. Later lie kept hooks for A. ]’. Moore, who then conductetl u retail gmce.y business in this eity. A few years ago the firm of Good man Bros., begun business, with Sum and John as purl tiers. The firm at first ilid a small business, but by push and energy they have built up a large and successful grocery busi ness in this city. Upon John devolved J lie principal part of the business management of the firm, Sam applying himsidf more particularly to liiu books The emi nent success of this firm si limped John as a business man of keen ability and rare qualifications, and at the time of ids death lie was recog nized us one of thu leading young commercial men in this part of Texas. John was a generous, big-hearted fellow, lie hail plenty of friends— friemls who were justly proud r>f (he success lie hud achieved in life and proud that they were ids friends. John leaves a father and mother, three brothers—Sum, Will and Frank—and two sisters—Misses Ru- inelia anil Sailie. He lias hundreds of oilier relatives in different parts of Texas, all of whom are saddened at Ids untimely death. We would not di re presume to offer sympathy to those whose hearts are torn and bleeding. There is a Higher Rower to whom we would point them, and who alone can give consolation. Ho knows best, and we should resign ourselves to the inevi table, and say, “Thy will be ilone! ’ John was a prominent memeber of Woodland Lodge No. 170, K. of I\, and (Ids lodge conducted the funeral services which were held this after noon at o did at the residence of de ceased s brother, Mr. Sum Coodman, West Krwin street. BOER PLAN OF CAMPAIGN. Joiibcrt ICxp-cts to W hip tho Mrltish I ii a Fort night. London, June 1.) —The St. James Ga zette, this afternoon, claiu s to have re ceived from an absolutely red able source at Pretoria, capital of the Trausva d, tiie plan of campaign which will be fol lowed by General Jouberr, now com mander-in chief of the Beers, in the event of war between the Transvaal and Great Britain. General Joubert’s force, it appears, will consist of :i0,000 men armed with Mauser rifles in addition to 4t» quick firing guns and 1,000 artillerymen, most of them drawn from the Gorman and Dutch armies. With the>e troops aud help expected from the Orange Free Suite, Joubert expects to take the offen sive immediately after tiie declaration of war, enter the Orange Free State and march on Kimoeriey, the British dia mond mining center in West Griqua- land, which forms four of the 70 divi sions of Capo Colony. Kimberley is also 100 miles north west of Bloemfontein. In his march on Kimberley, Joubert will use the rail road as tar as available; expects to cap ture the town with slight loss aud blow up the De Beers diamond mine. Si multaneously, it is added, the railroad from Cape Town to Bulawayo will be destroyed by Boer sympathizers and agents in Capo Colony, who will also destroy the Port Elizabeth Pretoria line, south of Bloemfontciuf to prevent Brit ish troops from using it. Finally, immediately after Kimberley is captured. General Joubert will ad vance on Capo Town, the capital of Cape Colony, through the western provinces, where the Dutch predomi nate and are expected to join tho Boers. Joubert calculates tiiat he will be mas ter of ('ape Town a fortnight after the declaration of war and that he will then bo aide to dictate ferms of neaca. One JIIiinIiciI.

In honor of himself he changed to July tho namo of the month that followed Juno.
