canning factories are needed in
this section. Houston whole-
salers buy canned goods by
the schooner load in Baltimore

Texas label is seldom seen on
a Can of fruit or vegetables
bought by the Ho as ton house-
keeper. Growers here occasion-
ally send thejr products to
eastern markets and have them
returned as a canned article
but only a very few Texas
towns have canning factories
of their own. Tomatoes are
ow felling on the Houston
market at 20 25c & bushel;
frequently they can't be sold
for anything. Next fall Hous
ton retailers will sell tomatoes
packed in Baltimore for 515c
per can. Snapbeans can barely
be given away now bat very
soon the Baltimore canned
snaps will be worth at least
10c a kcup. There is al
ways a surplus of raw stock on
the market at this' time of the
year. One great heVp to the
market this year has teen the
larga shipment of Texas fruit
and vegetables to points out-
side the state. All -arly pro'

DOTTB-T QP RATIFICATION.
Wellington Has Made a Per-
sonal Canvass-.
Washington June 25. Sen-
ator Wellington of Maryland
has conversed generally with
Republican Senators daring the
last week and he does- not be-
lieve that any attempt will be
I made to call np the Hawaiian
annexation treaty during the
present session of Congress
and "believes that the treaty
cannot be ratified at any time.
"It is a serious question"
said Mr. Wellington in a tone
of voice so- serious that it was
evident his mind was troubled
"and I think the Republicans
will proceed very slowly with
the matter when- it is reached."
It iff weft known that Wellington-
is opposed to the treaty
ana ne expressed inmseif so-
emphatically on the subject
that it wilf be decidedly embar-
passing to him if eventually his
party associates decide in caucus-
to carry out the wishes of
the administration and bring
pressnra i hear to record
every Republican vote infavor
of annexation.

train on 'the Gen tral Railroad
of New Terseyr which is knpwa
as the "Newark Speifcialj" be"-
tween Newark and Point Pleas-
ant met witk an accident be-
tween Hazlet and Middletown.
Bnt for the nerve and cour
age of Engineei: William R.
Bennett there would have been
loss of life and serious injuries.
5"he train Consisted of three
passenger coaches and a com;
bination baggage and smoking
car. On the trip to Newark it
left Red Bank on time and
was traveling about a mile a
minute when the driving rod
on the right side of the engine
broke and flying up struck the
top of the cab over the window
where Engineer Bennett sat.
He was knocked from his seat
and the broken rod smashed
the cab into splinters. He was
badly bruised and bleeding
from a dozen wotinds- but he
managed to evade the pounds
ing rodj crawl out over the
boiler and signal "down
brakes." He attempted to
work the aijrorakes but found
the air pump which operates
them had feen smashed by the
flying rod. His fireman George
W. Roland was helplessly pin-
ned in on his side of the cab
by the timbers which had been
crushed in upon him. After a
run of a mile under these con-
ditions in a minute the train
came to a standstill. The fire
man was found to be unhurt
and Bennett's injuries while
eevere and painfal were found
to be not Vsrions. Congrats
lations were ifeowefed upon the
engineer by thejlossengers and
s committee of wealthy bas
iness men Was formed for the
purpose of preparing a more
substantial recognition of his
bravery.
JIM FISK'S SLAYER.

of the Murder.
St. Louis KepTibHc.
New York June -0.- Ed-
ward S. Stokes of Hoffman
House fame who served a four
years' term in Sing Sing prison
for killing Jim Piak and was
restored to citizenship by Gov-
ernor Cleveland- nfter his release-
is said to be dying.
Mr. Stokes has been sojourn
ing at the Hot Spring of Vir-
ginia but on the advice of his
physicians he will if possible-
go to Carlsbad Germany f in
the hope of gaining relief. He
Is said to be so reduced in
strength however as to make
this trip impossible without
endangering his life:
Mr? Stokes gained wide at-
tention in 1872 by killing Fisk.
He had come from Philadel
phia his native cityr and was
rising to a position of wealth
and influence when this tragedy
occurred. Youngs Stokes had
been- a bright fellow in college
and was a general favorite with
his classmates. His father a
merchant of high standing in
Philadelphia- sent him to the
metropolis" believing that here
he would have wider scope for
hi talents.
Stokes arrived in New "ork
in the early eixfies. Wall street
was in a whirl of wild and ex

citing speculation at the time
and the young thiladelphian
plunged boldly into the whirl-
pool. Its swam straight its an
arrow in the boiling sea and
kept his head well above water.
It was at this; time that Jiin
Fisk then perhaps the boldest
and most successful plunger in
the Streetj and the partner of
Jay Gould in the Erie Railroad
enterprise made the acquaint
ance of Stokba. and admitted
him to his friendship. The two
men soon became intimate and4
Were much together after busi
ness hours. Stokes was a
strikingly handsome mah and
he and Fisk made a notable
team in certain quarters of the
city. Fisk put chances in the
way of his friend and StokeB-
quick to grasp an opportunity
soon found the royal road to
fortune. He accepted all favors
was discreet had the reputation
of being "a good fellow" and
rapidly developed as a finan-
cier. Fisk prided himself on his
keen insight into human nature.
"Stokes is a nice felloWi' he
would say "a capital fellow
but I would not trust him
further than that I"
The "that" was a snap of the
fingers.
The friendship between the
two men grew until suddenly
the ties which bound them were
snapped by a woman's hand.
" Jo8ie Mansfieldj a courtesan
young and beatiful- drifted to
the metropolis from an interior
city and with one glance of her
eyes won Jim Fisk. He install-
ed her in a handsome residence
on West Twentythird street
and there she held receptions
that dazzled that part of the
city.
Ed Stokes was a guest at one
of these receptions and the
hostess looked upon him with
extraordinary favor. Someone
told Fisk of the progress Stokes
had made in Josie Mansfield's
affections and instantly the
ties which bound the friends
were broken.
Fisk deserted the woman and
started in to ruin Stokes in
Wall street. He was doing it
rapidly and remorselessly
