TEXARKANA ARKANSAS FRIDAY EVENING JULY 12 1895.
THE PARAGON DISASTER.
The Anniversary of This Appalling
Accident Occurs To-day.
Just 13 years ago today when
the hands on the clock reaches the
seven notch it will record the anni-
versary of the falling of Ghio’s
Opera House upon that of the
building known as the Paragon
Saloon.
The opera house was a three-story
building with a deep basement and
had only a frontage of 25 feet and
ran back the full length of the lot.
It was in course of construction and
part of tne building was in a green
state. The Paragon was a long
low boxed house running the full
length of the opera house and was
used as a saloon and gambling
house.
At the time of the disaster it
being early evening only some
forty ot fifty people were in the
Paragon building when the storm
broke on the town which toppled
the big building over on the saloon
crushing it as easily as if had been
an egg shell.
The tire bell was tolled and soon
the entire citizenship turned out to
render assistance.
The debris underneath of the
brick that had covered it caught
fire from the many coal oil lamps
lighted in the saloon and gambling
room and the work of rescue was
made the more tedious.
Long lines of men were formed
and buckets were procured and
bucket after bucket of water was
emptied on the burning mass
It was three days after the dis-
aster before all of the bodies were
recovered. The charred remains
of thirty-four human beings were
found. Among the list of killed the
reporter can call to mind at this
time were: W. B. Russell Nat
Vice Mike Mayfield Johnnie Mo-
field Toni Strange Bill Smith Tom
Bull Prof Spencer Prof. Jost
Col. Mercer Guy a boot-black
Charles Johnson Tommy King and
Texas Joe. Among those who
were rescued was Elisha Vaughan
colored who it still here.
Jim Lawrence a white man was
taken out alive and recovered but
afterward committed suicide at
Hot Springs.
The corpses were taken to the
undertaker’s shop and at a given
hour two processions formed one
going to State Line Cemetery the
'other to Rose Bill where graves
had been prepared to receive them.
Our city was in mourning aid It
was the talk of the place for
weeks afterward.
DEATH BTALKs”IN THE LAND.
The Grim Kerpor With His Scythe
Gets in His Work.
The papers are loaded down with
deaths caused by accidents. We
give a few of the c.iusaltles gleaned
from the daily papers:
At Detroit Mich on July Dth a
livery stable was consumed and five
charred bodies recovered. These
were asleep in the fourth story and
it is thought others perished as
twenty-live were lodged In this part
of the building.
At Hico in Hamilton County
Texas two young ladles undertook
to cross the Bosque River In a cart
and were overturned by the cur-
rent and drowned.
At Atlantic City New Jersey a
door gave way in a building wherein
a large number of the Elk society
were congregated. with their wives
and children and many of them
were crushed.
The usual number of men who die
at the point of the pistol are re-
ported as being killed with their
boots on.
Did YoTrlnd it.?
Yesterday Miss Pauline Runnels
and her sister were ant shopping
and left their pocket book in some
store or lost It between Hie Parlor
drugstore and the poslolllce. It
contained $7.50 In money. The
Under will be rewarded by returning
same to this olllce or Hie young
ladles at Mrs. Flippin's on Olive
Street.
“Hands Wanted.'
This advertisement appears on
every corner. There Is more here
for the laborer (unskilled) than any
place perhaps In Texas. The work
Is hard that of tie making and
hauling and removing dirt and
heavy timbers throwing up em-
bankments for railroads etc. but
It Is here for those who are strong
and arc willing to take It.

Thos. H. Bicham One of a Gang of
Horse Thieves is Taken
in Hero.
On yesterday the Sheriff of Ellis
County arrived here and proceeded
to look up an officer. He found
Constable Joe Vinson and informed
him that he had been on the track
of one Bicham a horse thief since
June 17th and had trailed him this
far and that he wished help to effect
his capture. The two officers look-
ed around and by diligent enquiry
they located Bicham at Mandeville.
They mounted horses and rode
down there and soon had their man
in charge. Mr. Bicham claims he
did not steal the horse but traded
for him with a man that did steal
him and that he ran away because
he did not wish to go into a trial
when it was found the horse was in
his possession.
He said that he had walked every
foot of the way to this place and
that through the woods frequently
doing without food for three days
at a time. He has a family back
in Ellis County and seemed to be
glad to go back to see them.
The sheriff said that there was a
regular organized gang of horse
thieves in his county and that the
last court had convicted thirty-
eight of them and that he had now
in jail forty more. He thought he
had cempletely broken up the gang
by this last capture. He said the
men were all white and were farm-
ers and that they would scatter
over a territory of the county and
adjoining ones steal a horse here
and there from the range and have
them driven into Louisiana and
Arkansas and sold. The business
was profitable but the men have at
last been caught in their nefarious
manner of getting gains and will
be punished.
HELLO! LISTEN!
We Present a Few Pertinent Re
marks on a Telephone for Our City.
We have long contended that the
rate charged by the telephone
company here was too much and
that the few number of subscribers
was such that rendered the line al-
most useless to the public at large.
With this in view without a thought
to injure the present company we
have tried to get up an interest in
a new company that would put up
a line all over the city and serve
the people with a good service and
at cheap rates.
Mr. Toni Temple has taken the
matter up and has written several
letters and the replies are all fa-
vorable to a cheaper service.
We give a letter below from
Shreveport written by Mr. T. Q.
Martin which explains fully where
and how we can get a service here
at. sls per year and at the same
time make money on the invest-
ment for it must be a home com-
pany that runs the exchange if we
follow the Shreveport idea. Read
the letter:
Shreveport La. July 8 1395.
Mr. T L. L. Temple
Texarkana
Dkau Sir :
I understand that you are agitat-
ing the formation of a new tele-
phone company at Texarkana.
It might be a matter of interest
to you to know that a new line Is
now in course of constrpctlon in
this city to be in operation not
later than the Ist of September
that will furnish service for sls per
year. As It Is a co-operative organ
ization (each renter being a stock-
holder) this price will apply alike to
residences and business houses. Mr.
John W Taber secretary of the
company can furnish you with a
copy of the. charter which explains
the method of organization. The
new company has now 312 subscrib-
ers against 206 for the old com-
pany whose charge for service is
s■lß per year to business houses.
Yours truly
T. Q. Martin

PALMA’S ELECTION.
The Cuban Revolutionary Party
Places Him at the Head of
the Government.
New York July 10. The last of
the returns of the Cuban revolu
tionary party election 1 all over the
United States Sunday have been
received here Memphis Key West
and Philadelphia having linished
their reporting. The first mention-
ed city telegraphed to Secretary
De Quesada and Hie last two toSe
nor Benjamin Guerrera. In eacli
of them Thomas Estrada Palma
was the choice as lie was of the
five which reported on Monday. The
formal announcement that Palma
has been elected to succeed Jose
Martin in the affairs of the revolu-
tion outside of Cuba will be made
today by Senor Guerrera.
A committee will lie dispatched
immediately afterward to Central
Valley to notify Mr Palma who it
is expected will come to New York
tomorrow to open his headquarters.
Thomas Estrado Palma’was born
in Bayauio Cuba July 9 1835. Af-
ter completing ills studies in Ha
vana lie went to Seville Spain to
read law and then returned to his
native city to practice. He was
shortly after interested In thecause
of Cuban Independence and soon
rose to a commanding position in
tlie small but. steadily increasing
bands of patriots who were working
to create tlie sentiment that crys-
talized in Hie revolution from 1868
to 1878.
When tlie war broke out Palma
was one of the first to take tlie
field lie was elected a member oi
tlie Cuban Congress later and in
the last years of tlie revolution lie
succeeded Cespedas in the Presi-
dency of the Republic of Cuba. It
was while holding t hat position t hat
Hie revolution collapsed. He was
made a prisoner on October 111
1877 and liy t lie same Gen. Marti-
nez de Campos who is conducting
the campaign against the present
revolutionists taken to Havana
whence he was deported to .Spain.
Palma went to Central America
after his release and thirteen years
ago he established tlie college in
Central Valley N. Y which he
still conducts.
