Recently, at Throckmorton, John
Pritchard, lying sick at his father's
home, while suffering from the de-
lirium of fever, wandered away at
night. His departure was not discov-
ered till morning. The alarm was
given and the town searched without
success. The trail of his bare feet
was discovered and mounted search
parties were formed and proceeded to
the southwest. The wanderer was,
discovered in Farrott's pasture, twelve
miles distant, in an exhausted and;
unconscious condition, his feet cut
and bleeding and his body fearfully
lascerated from contact with mesquite
thorns. A fortunate moderation in
the weather alone prevented his esca-
pade from terminating in his death
from exposure.
Recently, about dark, two aged
(Mexicans, giving their names as An-
tonio Leony and wife, drove up to
police headquarters at Fort Worth in

the woman's breast a dead infant.
An interpreter was summoned and it
was learned that the child was taken
ill while en route from Dallas and
death had resulted from supposed
diphtheria.

At Temple, Bell county, T. J. Mose-

young folks were out for a straw ride,
and drove up in front of a store to

quired surgical treatment.

calaboose at Fort Worth the other

scarcely anything. They do not lack
for mud, as he keeps water running
through the pen most of the time.
At Dallas a few days ago a farmer-
called on the sheriff and reported
that while he was returning to
his homo from the city ho was held

manded his money or his life, but
they got neither, as he had no money
with him.

The comptroller has received the
assessor's rolls from every county in

total d-'vease of $21,054,406.

WASHINGTON NEWS.
HAVEMEYER AND SEARLES, THE
SUGAR MEN,
Must Appear and Plead or Demur to In-
dictments—Kevcntlovr, Danish Minis-
ter, lias Learned How Americau Ueef
is Treated There—Pensions.
Washington, Nov. 20 District at-
torney Birney has notified all the per-
sons indicted for refusing to answer
questions before the senate sugar
investigation committee, including
Messrs. Havemeyer and Searles,
that they must appear and plead or
demur to indictments. It is expected
that demurrers will be filed. Mr.
But-ney was asked if the demurrers
would not be the same as in the cases
of McCartney and Chapman, and ho
said that some new points could bo
presented because different questions
were asked these witnesses. Messrs.
Havemeyer and Searles being asked
as to the amounts of money they
contributed while the newspaper men
were asked where they got informa-
tion on which their articles were
based. Judge Wilson, attorney for
McCartney and Chapman, has notified
Mr. Birney that the petition for an
appeal from Judge Cole's decision
will be filed to-day in the court of
appeals.
American Beef in Denmark.
Washington, Nov. 20.—Count
Reventlow, the Danish minister, first
heard of the action of Denmark in
excluding American beef through the
Associated Press cablegram from
Copenhagen. The count expressed
surprise, as no action in that line had
heretofore been contemplated. He
said tho action was probably due to a
request from Germany, as American
beef received at Dani«h ports fre-
quently would find its way into Ger-
many and thus overcome the German
restriction. Count Reventlow says
Denmark uses very little American
beef or meat products. He had never
heard that any of the product in Den-
mark was affected with Texas fever.
Under these circumstances, he feels
that the action of Denmark is not so
much aimed against the United States
as it is to make Denmark's neighbor,
Germany, effective in her exclusion.
The minister has not as yet received
official advices on the subject.
Wants Free .Ships.
Washington, Nov. 19.--Itmay be
safely inferred from some of the ex-
pressions used by President Cleveland
in his late speech at Philadelphia that
one of the chief recommendations in
his forthcoming annual message will
favor the free ship bill that is now
pending in the house of representa-
tives. Tho recommendation may be
more general, but the measure is the
concrete representative of his hope
and desire. He is bent on free trade,
but if he cannot have it in the form of
a tariff law, drawn on free trade lines,
he will be willing to take as much as
he can get in the form of legislation.

Bailey in "Washington*
Washington, Nov. 17.-Congress-
man Bailey arrived Thursday night
and will probably be here for several
days. During the late session of con-
gress a resolution was adopted pro
viding for the investigation of the
conduct of Judjre liitchi© of C tve
land, O. Complaints were made
against him that rellected on his
character as a United States judge.
Mr. Bailey was made chairman of the
investigation committee, with Con-
gressman Lane of Illinois and Lrodei-
ick of Kansas as his associates. A
meeting of the committee was ap-
pointed for the 15th, but the other
gentlemen did not materialize, and
he is waiting to hear from
them. When asked about the
issue of bonds, he said that
he intended to push his resolution,
introduced at the last seesion and
now on the calendar, interdicting the
secretary of the treasury from using
money arising from the sale of bonds
to replenish the gold reserve fund
for the ordinary expences of the, gov-
ernment. The secretary of the treas-
ury held that ho could draw on this
fund to pay current expenses. This
rulling had been followed by Carlisle,
and Mr. Bailey takes the opposite
view, as dp many members of the
judiciary committee, and hence the
resolution. Mr. Baiiey does not con-
tend that the secretary does not have
the right to sell the bonds to increase
the reserve fund, but insist that after
such sale the proceeds can only be
applied to redemption purposes.
Exports and Imports.
Washington, Nov. 16—A state-
ment shows that tho total value of the
export of merchandise from the United
States during October was $83,558,-

Cannot Send Troops.
Washington, Nov. 15.—The Indian j
office has received a telegram from
Agent Wisdom, Muscogee, I. T., giv-
ing a brief account of tho hold-ups by
! the Cook gang. He calls attention to
| his former request that the troops
be sent into the territory and states
1 that the people are unable to protect
| either their lives or thair property.
It having been decided that troops
I cannot be letrallv sent into the terri-
tory the matter must remain with the
department of justice.
liond Holders Hungry,
Washington, Nov. 17.—The treas-
ury department has already com-
menced to receive bids for bonds, and
is quite elated over tho fact, as it
3hows an anxiety to take thnm on the
part of the public, and further indi-
cates that a better price will be ob-
tained than at the last sale. Tho
bids were not opened, but put awav
to be opened with other bids on the
90th of this month.
Gets Crank Letters.
Washington, Nov. 19.— Among re-
cent communications addressed to
President Cleveland to which ho has
made no response was one which was
a "crank" communication in a double
sense. A man who gave his address
as "Emil Krey, corner of Burrell and
Dower streets, Milwaukee, Wis.," re-
quested the president to send him a
hand orgaa with permission to play it
in every city in the United States.
Tho letter was evidently written in
good faith, but if Private Secretary
Thurber sent a reply to all letters re-
ceived at the white house he would
require the assistance of a large force
of stenographers. There is only one
stenographer at the executive man-
sion now. 'Lire president never dic-
tates. all his personal messages to
congress being written in his own
hand.
Treaty With Jaj a i.
Washington, Nov. 19. —The new
treaty between tho United States and
Japan has been concluded in all its
essential features, and there remains
only to determine minor details and
phraseology.
Withdrawing Gold.
Washington, Nov. 19.—Saturday's
withdrawals of gold from the sub-
treasury ;.a New iork, presumably to
bo used in the purchase of bonds,
imountea to $427,010, as against
Are Not Heady.
Washington, Nov. 16.—Many re-
quests have been received at the
postoHice department from postmas-
ters asking that certain offices in-
cluded in tho recent civil service or-
der bo excepted from its operations
for a short time. It appears the
postmasters appointed since the uew
administration came into power have
not yet had time to fill the offices un-
der them with party friends, and by
the new extension they are debarred
from selecting chief clerks and other
officers who ha\e heretofore been
considered party patronage places.
1 hose letters have been numerous
but t,o each tho reply is made that the
president only can except offices from
the operation of the new order, and it
is not very probable he will be willing
to do so.
