In former years fifteen buyers from the
larger houses In the West was usually
th« limit to be sent here at one time,
and In a Presidential year the number

un exceedingly narrow escape from a
serious accident wlilc horseback riding

other side the President's horse reared
on reaching the top of the bank and
stood up straight on his hind legs and
then went over backwards into the
creek with the President.
The President slipped from the saddle,
and as luck would have it fell into the.
creek close beside the horse, which
landed on his back. The horse fell on
the down stream side of the President.
Neither the President nor horse received
the slightest injury.

AUSTIN, Tex., June 3—Commemo-
rative of the nativity of the Confederacy's
lamented chief and In celebration «»f its
one hundredth anniversary. Austin ob-
served a holiday today and participated
in ceremonies profoundly patriotic and
eulogistic, to the spirit of which a vast
concourse of Southerners lent unanimous
sympathy.
The Hall of Representatives, in which
the wervlces in honor of Jefferson Davis*
were held, was comfortably filled with
persons representing probably every sec-
tion of the State. Despite tin- number of
counter attractions, the crowd was large,
but not as big as it probably would have
been had the anniversary of Mr. Davis'
birth fallen during another season.
Music Is Thrilling.
The music was thrilling, the decora-
tions In harmony with the occasion and
the orators inspiring in their portraiture
of principles and event* denr to Confed-
erate hearts. Ex-Governor J. D. Sayers,
who served as master of ceremonies, was
happy In his introductory remarks as lie
presented the speakers, each of whom
was roundly applauded. Governor Camp-
bell invoked continuous hand-clapping in
his initiatory address, and Major F.
Charles Hume, who spoke on Jefferson
Davis, and Justice T. J. Brown, who eulo-
gized the Confederate woman, earned the
generous plaudits of their attentive an
ditors.
Frori the dedlcat - ; of th»* Confederate
Woman's Home In t! e morning to the re
ception nnd promenade at the State House
in the evening not an untoward circum-
stance occurred to mar the harmony and
put riot ic pleasure of the day. Commit-
tees had worked laboriously and long to
consummate plnn.s which wore broadly in
keeping with the event. The centenary
of the South's most conspicuous leader
was properly appreciated as an event
worthy «>f the most elaborate endeavor to
celebrate; an event of which this age
and people should be proud to foster, as
they have witnessed the development from
penury to wealth, from commercial de-
cadence to thriving activity and from In-
terrupted progress of literature, science
and art to Illustrious attainment in their
fields, which has been made by a people
for whose welfare Jefferson Davis devoted
the crowning years of his life.
Salt:te of Eleven Guns Begins the Day.
A salute of eleven guns awoke the
populace at an early hour, proclaiming
the purpose of the day. Shortly after 1
o'clock the procession of dignitaries and
conspicuous visitors began its march from
lower Congress Avenue to the capitol.
this feature bcinp under the direction of
Col. E. AT. Phelps. Assistant Adjutant
General, Texas National Guard, who
chose as his chief aides Adjt. Gen. New-
ton and Prig. C,on. Harry Hutchlngs, re-
tired. During the march of the proces-
sion a salute of eleven guns was fired by
W. A. Tew, a member of the celebrated
Washington Artillery, C. S. A.
In the first carriage were Governor
Campbell, ex-Governor Sayers and the
speakers of the day. Mr. Justice Brown
and Major Hume. Other carriages con-
tained Justice F. A. Williams Railroad
Commissioner Storey, Major George W.
Littlefield. Rev. If M. Sears; Mesdames

San Antonio, a. r. Howard of Palestine;
Miss Katie Daffan. president of the Unit-
ed Daughters of the Confederacy; Con-
federate Veterans, Daughters and others.
The rear was brought up by a detach-
ment of the Harper Kirby Rifles, under
Captain Lane, nnd Troop C, First Cav-
alry. Captain Younger.
Reaching the capitol. the procession
filed into the Representative Hall. Rev.
H. M. Sears invoked divine benediction
on the assembly.
Governor Campbell spoke briefly, but
with his accustomed eloquence and effect.
During his remarks he charged that the
defeat of the Constitutional amendment
providing for the erection and mainten-
ance of a Confederate Woman's Home
was due to the negligence of the men
who stayed awny from the polls, though
sympathizing with the project.
Governor Campbell's Speech.
Among other pertinent remarks, the
Governor said:
"By this great war between the States
the right of secession was lost and the
South lost great, property values, but the
integrity of the constitution and the In-
tegrity of the supreme court as the ar-
biter of all differences between the State.
State sovereignty and local self-govern-
ment were preserved in the havoc of
war."
This summing up of the effects of that
internecine strife brought forth a round
of applause.
Continuing, the Governor said that he
had no' sympathy with the man who
questioned the motives of those heroes
who fought not only for what they be-
lieved to have been right, but what was
right. (Applause, i
Referring to the women of the South
the Governor declared that he would not
pluck one single laurel from the wreaths
that crown her soldiery, hut that to the
wives and mothers, sisters and sweet-
hearts that transmuted their courage,
fortitude and long-suffering to their
loved ones on the firing line, belonged a
vast share of the glory and praise Tor
the honorable achievements of Southern
soldiers in th*t contest.
"The Southern woman." said the Gov-
ernor. "was his inspiration in victory
and the renewal of his hope and strength
in defeat."
He referred to the pleasant environ-
ment of the old soldiers at the Confeder-
ate Home here, saying that In the eight-
een months of his incumbency not a

personal inclination
Mr. Pierce and His Counsel Accept Ad-
vice of Friends to tbe Effect That
a Disposition Exists in Texas
to Convkt Him.
ST. LOUIS. Mo., June 3.-H. Clay
Pierce Is now in New York and has
been there for some time. He is ati lib-
erty from custody of the St. Louis au-
thorities on a bond of $4<\ooo, signed by
H. S. Priest, his chief counsel. No
statement can be secured as to Mr.
Pierce's movements.
At police headquarters It was stated
this afternoon that 110 message had been
received from Sheriff Matthews of
Texas, and even if a* message Is re-
ceived the authorities are powerless to
take Pierce Into custody until he re-
turns within their jurisdiction.
Attorney Priest, counsel for Mr. Pierce,
said today that Plorce would probably
fight the efforts of the Texas authori-
ties to take him to that State for trial
at this time. Attorney Priest stated
that notwithstanding the opinion of tho
United States Supremo Court, denying
his application for a writ of habeas
corpus for release from the custody of
the sheriff, he can apply to the courts
of Missouri or any other State in which
I10 happens to be when the Texas sheriff
claims him.
"Tho personal Inclination of Mr.
Pierce, and my own persnnul inclina-
tion. would be for Mr. Pierce to go to
Texas now." said Attorney Priest. "I
am confident there Is nothing in the
charge against Mr. Pierce, and. that he
would be speedily acquitted thereof.
"But friends of Mr. Pierce huve an
opinion that there is a disposition in
Texas to convict him there whether
he is Innocent or guilty."
EVIDENCE WAS ADEQUATE.
Austin Attorneys Express Amusement

Dally Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Juno 3.—The interview
of Henry Priest, counsel for H. Clay
Pierre In the Iattcr's fight to avoid com-
ing hack to Texas to answer to a charge
of false swearing, has caused some slight
ripple of amusement here. A number of
attorneys who are alluded to generally as
leading men of the Austin bar say that
Mr. Priest's assertion, that thero were no
witnesses before the Grand Jury is
wholly fatuous, ami can under no cir-
cumstances hold good. Documentary evi-
dence in the nature of papers that were
Introduced in the Waters-Pierce Oil Com-
pany trial is considered in every way as
adequate for an action of the Grand
Jury as bona fide, flesh-and-blood wit-
nesses.
The reference to the Attorney General's
activity in the proceedings leading up to
and consummating In the Indictment Is
erroneous, as everyone here knows who
has followed the case.
MR. PIERCE ^SECRETIVE.

NEW YORK, June 3.—Inquiry at the

elicited a statement that Mr. Pierce was
at his office today, but no statement of
his Intention in view of tho decision of

At the office of Rufus Choate, one of
Mr. Pierce's counsel, it was stated that
no statement as to Mr. Pierce's plans
would be made until the full decision of

PITTSBURG, Pa., Juno 3.—The pro-
poHcd union of the Presbyterian and the
United Presbyterian churches, or at least
to Wring the two denominations into
closer relations, which has been before
tho general assemblies of both organiza-
tions for some time, has been aban-
doned for the present, a report recom-
mending such action being adopted.
The report was submitted by the com-
mittees to which tho subject had been
referred at the last general assembly.
It had been stated tbat this committee
held no formal meeting because of tho
great distance between tho homes of the
members and the failure of the associ-
ation to provide for traveling expenses.
However, the committee was ready to
report, recommending that a new com-
mittee bo named to consider the subject,
the members to bo centrally located and
provisions made to pay their expenses,
but since informally agreeing upon such
action, the committee had been semi-
officially informed that the Presbyterian
Church would take no further steps in
the matter either for union or closer re-
lations, and therefore the committee de-
cided to leave the whole question to fu-
ture assemblies.
Rev. Dr. Allison Reed was elected
treasurer of the home mission board to
succeed his father.
The committee on distribution of tho
semi-centennial Jubilee fund, amounting
to over $1,280,000, of which about $628,000
was donated without specifying the pur-
pose for which it should be used, recom-
mended that the money be equally di-
vided betwene the education and the mis-
sionary departments.
The sessions wero to have continued to-
morrow, but business was concluded this
evening and final adjournment taken.
