DAtLY NEWS. FRIDAY. MARCH 15. lb9o.
ting It to be the result of over-supply, still
insist, that the .decrease In acreage should
be on the sterile lands of the old states,
where the cost of growing is so much
greater than 011 the rich prairies.
The oil mills received a smaller per cent
of the cotton seed, as the price was re-
duced nearly one-half as compared with
1K9.V Much of th«» seed was sold to the feed-
ers, but at the very low figure established
by the mills. The reports from the otln r
cotton growing states are not near as go.-.l
as ft'Olil-.. Texas. From every one of them
the reports are that the crop was good, but
the. condition of the men who raised it is
far loss Satisfactory than the condition of
the Texas raiser. For instance, the cotton
growers in South Carolina are said to be "in
debt to t'he merchant, and are obliged to
sell their seed to make up the dellcien y in
cotton; Ju'tK-e farmers are becoming poorer
each year as the land becomes poorer, but
they still pursue the same course, not
knowing what to do. though there are
some signs of improvement." The fact that
they have to sell their seed is considered
as a great calamity, as they are in a great
measure dependent upon it to fertilize their
land in order to make it raise another crop.
In all the cotton growing states, with the
exception of Texas, the matter of fertil-
izers is a great one, and as the seed or
the meal is a tine fertilizer the enforced
sale of the seed to make up for the* low
price of the staple is a hardship that dors
not fall 011 the average Texas cotton plant-
er.
THE SILVER ELEMENT.
It Gets Together and Selects a Man
Whom It Declares It Would
Support for President.
STORY OF THREE TAILORS,
Some of the Hopes and Intentions of the
Silver fanatics of the New
Party.
COTTON GROWERS.
Widened Scope of the Convention to He
Held at Waco.
Waco, Tex., May 14.—It is indicated in the
notice sent to County Judge Jenkins by
Colonel E. S. Peters, president" of the Texas
division of the American cotton growers'
protective association, of the eon vent! on of
cotton growers to take place in this city on
March 28, that there will be four subjects
presented as the purpose of the convention:
1. Reduction in cotton acreage.
2. Freight rates on cotton to the seaboard.
3. The effect of dealing in futures on the
price of cotton.
4. The effect of free coinage of Silver on
the price of cotton.
President Sam Sanger of the Waco com-
mercial club has been advised by Colonel
Peters that he dwires to invite Congee***
man Hatch of Missouri to speak on the ef-
fect of dealing in cotton futures; Hon. J.
W. Bryain of Nebraska to tspeak on free
coinage of silver; Hon. Hestar D. Lane of
Alabama to speak on reducing the cotton
production; Hon. John H. Reangan of Tex-
as to speak on railroad charges on cotton,
and tHon. David Dubhi of Sacramento, Cal.,
to speak on export duties on agricultural
products. Colonel Peters has given notice
of his enlarged plans regarding the conven-
tion to the members of the Texas press a.s-
eoclation an i to the Reform press associa-
tion. The widened scope given will require
Washington. March 13.—(Special)—-The sil-
ver element in congress, to show that it
was not dead, or to show that it had had
enough life in it to make mouths before
the country in order to show its dissatis-
faction. got together through its leading
men and actually selected a man whom
it salcl that c lenient would support for the
presidency. Its meeting and its proclama-
tion, which will go j)own in history as a
companion piece to the celebrated procla-
mation of the three tailors of London, was
a delight, because in all the mouths of tra-
vail of the country it was about the first
thing that biought a smile to its lips and
lightened its countenance. For sometime
before this sportive political play, there
had been hints thrown out of the most
ominous character. These hints carried the
frightful news that the silver element in-
tended tD reform both of the old political
parties; that there would be a separation
of the sheep from the goats, which would
be almost as serious in its char-
acter as the separation of the sheep
and goats 011 Judgment day. the
name of the sheep being reserved
by the in to i fanatics because the Bible
seems to make a distinction against the
goats when it speaks of the division. The
hints also carried the intimation that there
was to be a perfect stampede from the two
parties, at least to the extent of stripping
them of every single man who had a par-
ticle of patriotism about him, and, flnall;*,
that those who had fears of political
deluges had better get aboard the silver
ark at once. The conduct of the men who
were at the bottom of the movement, and
who, it is fair to say, are deeply in earnest,
within democratic lines, but that is a
threat. The democratic parry is a political
'army with its enemy in front. Yet here is
a handful of men in that army getting to-
gether and organizing to tight in their own
way. The result is nothing more nor less
than a resolution to abandon their com-
rades if t'hey do not tight as the small co-
terie thinks is best. It may not be going
too far to compare this independent
element to that element in both armies ot
the late war. who, being dissatisfied wit 11
the way it was conducted, branched out
011 their own responsibilities and became
guerrillas. If silver Vs the main thing to
be fought over, if, on its adoption into otu
currency, meaning, qf course, its access 10
the mints on an equality with gold, if on
this issue depends the prosperity ol the
country and the consequent happiness ot j
the people, why should not the gentlemen
who believe this patriotically gather aiv>und I
Its standard and make a tight for it.' V\ hy j
do thev not do as Stewart and Jones ot j
Nevada and Sibley of Pennsylvania and
others have done, boldly proclaim their
fidelity to the issue and announce all hos-
tility to every antagonistic element?
This independent element headed by Si»>-
ley, which has declared war 011 both the
democratic and republican parties, com-
mands my respect, and doubtless will com-
mand the respect of the members ot the old
parties to a far greater extent than the
element which signed the Bryan paper and
agreed to stay in the democratic party and

It is not believed here to any great extent
that Layton will be able to put his man out
in ten rounds, but the concession is very
general that the tight will be lively and in-
teresting to the end. Layton has been
training industriously, and 0 a News man
stated this morning that lie was in good
condition.
"Do you think you will win?" said a
News man to Layt'on.

1N PITZPATHICK'S -FAVOR.
New Orleans. La., March 14.—In the civil
district court at noon to-day Judge P. J.
King read his decision in the case of Mayor
John Fltzpatrick, against whom articles of
impeachment have been filed by t'he Citi-
zens' protective association. The suit grew
out of the tight against the city adminis-
tration inaugurated last summer by the
citizens. There were some serious charges
against the mayor. He was accused of
malfeasance and misfeasance in office,
favoritism and other charges of a similar
character. The decision was in his favor,
the judge finding him not guilty 011 any of
the charges. The acquittal of the mayor
is considered a great victory for the po-
litical ring of which Fl'tzpatrlck is leader.
The defense was conducted by General T.
Marshall Miller, Judge K. D. Saunders and
City Attorney O'Sulllvan.

THE WATSON BURG LYNCHING.
Denver, Col., March 13.—Dr. Cuneo, the
Italian consul in this city, had not up to
this evening been officially notified of 'the
affair alt Watsomburg, as all the Italians
belong to a national benevolent society.
He is expecting full returns from the scene
of the affair from responsible parties.
Then he will communicate with the Ital-
ian minister at Washington and await in-
structions. If the men who were killed by
the lynchers are not American citizens he
will take Charge of whatever property
they may have for the government he rep-
resents. The doctor had no information at
hand to form any opinion whatever about
the affair.
NEW PARTY CONVENTION.
Pittsburg, Pa., March 14.—The convention
to form a new national party met in this
city to-day with thirty-one delegates pres-
ent. H. E. Cole of Oak Station, Pa., pre-
sided, and in his opening address said that
prohibition was the main plank upon which
■it was intended to organize the party, al-
though free coinage and other political Is-
sues would be brought in later.
Mrs. A. M. Rice of Butler, Pa., lecturer
for the Woman's Christian Temperance
union, also made an address. A committee
of one hundred was appointed to take up
the work during the coming year. The
convention will continue over to-morrow.
KILLED BY A FALLING BRIDGE.
Vicksburg, Miss., March 34.—A fatal ac-
cident occurred this afternoon at a bridge
ubout three miles north of the city on the
Valley railroad which caused the instant
death of County Superintendent Edwin Mc«
Ginty and the fatal injury of William
Henry, who died a few minutes after the
casualty happened. The accident was
caused by the sudden and wholly unex-
plained collapse of the bridge, which sank
into the chasm which it spans, carrying
the two men down to death. The bridge
was being demolished when the accident
occurred. McGlnty leaves a wife anu live
children.

derson, general agent for the National live-
stock yards, Chicago, is authority for the

bers of the Southwestern traffic associa-
tion will re-establish general agencies in
Texas. These agents were withdrawn on
the 1st day of last December at the in-
stance of the Southwestern traffic associ-
ation. which promised an equal division of
all Texas business. It is said the Alton
will re-establish at its old headquarters in
this city.

FOUND DEAD.
Collinsville, Grayson Co., Tex., March
14.—The wife of Jule King was found dead
by her husband. Mrs. King was just re-
covering from the measles, and her whole
family being similarly affected she ex-
posed herself and it is supposed this was
the cause of her death.
and doe
tablish a local currency and on It do busi
riess with the world is naturally a hopeful,
not to say visionary, person. As the gen-
tlemen in this movement believe this, they
had 110 sooner begun to talk of the forma-
tion of the new silver party than the new
silver party was created, the elections had
returned a majority of silver men to con-
gress, the president was a silver man, and
in fact everything in the government from
the chief executive down to the
smallest paid clerk was a silver
man. And having reached this stage
of imagination, they fairly strutted
in their pride. They almost reached the
stage where they were promising the pat-
ronage, though perhaps this point was
not. altogether reached. And they were not
altogether to blame for the rosy view they
took of things. There were only a few of
them and they were and are honest. They
have one. and only one, idea, and that is
the free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of 1G to 1, and further, that this
country should enter into this coinage
whether or not other countries agreed.
Now, this Fifty-third congress has been a
most memorable body. Professedly demo-
cratic, there has never been a body that
more flagrantly violated democratic prin-
ciples, unless It be that congress
which passed the interstate com-
merce law and thereby strengthened
federalism as its most earnest advocates
were never able to do. This Fifty-third
congress, or the majority of the alleged
democrats in it, spent the most of its time,
privately and publicly, in contending that
as congress and the administration refused
to enter into the experiment of free coin-
age, therefore the party could not
live because the people would not
support it. This being the case,
and the democratic party, no longer being
able to meet and cope w.Th a situation, it
waa best to form a new party that had
ideas and courage. The straight-out 1(J to 1
fellows, and the men who acted when the
time came, heard from the Texas represen-
tatives that there was a gold element in
Texas, but it was a small crowd. They
heard from that element that the populists
were hatched because the democratic party
did not go far enough in the matter of sil-
ver, and that when a new sliver party was
organized there the disgruntled silver men
who 'had left the democratic party would re-
turn and the gold men would be driven Into
the republican ranks. They heard this from
the democratic members from Alabama,
North Carolina, Mississippi, Florida and, of
course, from Georgia, which is always 011
hand to do the most talking and to change
as conditions justify for political prefer-
ment or thrift. The men, honest men, whom
I have spoken of above not only heard all
this but I and every other newspaper man
who had ears heard It. the difference "be-
tween them and myself being that they
believed, while I, not more dishonest
but more experienced. sought a
quiet corner and laugh, without offending
anyone. This last congress was most sen-
sitive. To laugh at any time about mat-
ters most remote from the affairs of leg-
islation was dangerous. There might be a
member from Texas, or some other In-
tense state, who, brooding over phantasies
which his own mind had created, would
resent the hilarity as aimed at congress.
1 am close enough to congressmen, if I
were home in Texas, to liana them a chew
of tobacco, who will not permit anyone to
say meekly that maybe after all the rate
of 16 to 1 Is too low, or that the struggle
to keep up the present parity has been
bad for the country, when the demands of
trade with other countries do not believe
in It. But that is personal. The Intense
people, like Bryan of Nebraska, Stewart of
Nevada and several more, believe every-
thing they hear. They could testify to
the tears shed by the Texas and other
democratic delegations over the mean way
silver was treated, and they could hold
up their hands and swear before high
heaven that these same delegations would
follow, or lead, into a new party, the plat-
form of which would be as that of Jack
Cade when he announced to his followers:
"There shall be in England seven half
penny loaves sold for a penny; the three
hooped pot shall have ten hoops, and I
will make It a felony to drink small beer;
all the realm shall be in common, and in
Cheapside shall the palfrey go to grass;
. . . there shall be no money, etc., etc."
Watching the legislative department of
free coinage democrats, fairly hanging, as
if It were heavenly music, upon the pro-
testations of free-coinage democrats, it did
not take long for Bryan and his enthusias-
tic companions to conclude that the time
was rife for action. They went about
among the free coinage men and talked of
the best course for organization. They dis-
cussed the advisability of a grand silver
convention, and this was finally' put aside,
and It was agreed to get up an agreement
in writing. Here a new trouble arose. It
was found that among the silver
men there were broad differences
as to what the agreement should
contain. One element wanted to
tight the battle straight, and argued
that both the old parties had made prom-
ises only to violate them, and it was non-
sense to rely 011 them longer. Another cle-
ment wanted the fight made inside the
democratic lines. Another wanted repub-
licans of silver views taken Into the con-
ference or agreement. Still another wanted
the republicans kept out—and thus it went.
Finally it was agreed to draw a kind of
agreement that the fight should be made
in tin' democratic linos. Bland, for in-
stance, advised this course because, as he
told me, "There were more silver men in
the party than anti-silver men, and
this being the case, they ought to have
control of it. This method of procedure
being agreed to the document, for signa-
tures was started. It is shocking to relate
the manner in which It was treated. A
great hush fell on the men who had for
weeks and months been raving about the
necessity for action In behalf of the white
metal. All at once they began to remember
that there should be something else in a
political movement, If it was to material-
ize into a party, except a single
issue. Bryan was told by dozens in
whom he had trusted that they could not
sign a single paper which bound them to a
single issue; that there were issues other
than the silver one, and finally, the com-
mon injunction to him was to go slow. The
number of signers he secured was ridicu-
lous when t'he amount of anxiety to sign,
just before the paper started on its rounds,
is considered. True, the document in effect
only binds the signers to fight for silver
Hamilton, O., March 14.—The family of
ex-Governor Campbell had a frightful shock
at dinner last evening. The ex-governor,
after placing a glass of water to his lips,
suddenly rose, foaming at the mouth, stag-
gering and apparently sp e< hless. lie
managed to say: "My throat is burning."
Dr. Kumler, living next door, was called
immediately and discovered that the
trouble arose from drinking a strong solu-
tion of ammonia. Investigation showed
that a servant, who had used the ammonia
in cleaning silverware, had placed t'he bot-
tle in the ice chest in such a way 'that
when the I'd was closed the contents spilled
into the drinking water tank.
Mr. Campbell happened to be the first to
taste it. The physician administered anti-
dotes quickly, but Mr. Campbell is suffer-
ing severely.
Shugart back again, but on this question
he to-day emphatically declared himself as
follows:
"I don't want Shugart on any terms. If
Brown does not want to 'play In St. I^ouis
he will not play anywhere else."
Peitz is holding out for $1800, which Von
Der Ahe says is $200 more than he will give.

WON HER CASE.
Topeka, Kan., March 14.—Mrs. Mary
Lease, orator and politician, has won her
latest fight. Recently George A Clark was
appointed by Governor Morrill to succeed
her as a member of the state board of
charities and the appointment was con-
firmed by the senate. When Clark attempt-
ed to take tin' office a few days ago Mrs.
Lease refused to vacate, stating that her
term did not end until 1896, and she took
steps to have her case settled in court. An
examination of the records in the govern-
or's office to-day shows that in his mes-
sage to the senate Governor Lewelling nom-
inated Mrs. Mary E. Lease as the succes-
sor of Captain Rhodes. His term would not
have expired until next year.

TEXAS BASEBALL.
Dallas, Tex., March 14.—President J. C.4
McNeaius of the Texas-Southern league to-
night appointed the arbitration committee
of the league as instructed by the league
meeting held at Galveston on January L'7,
The members of the committee are: Alex.
Easton, chairman, Galveston; D. M. Legg,
Sherman; Lloyd Bowers, Shreveport. The
committee will settle all differences be-
tween clubs concerning players and league
matters that may need special adjustment.
The president of the league says he plain-
ly Informed the league at the time of his
election that one of the instructions to um-
pires would be to compel all players to de-
port themselves at all times on the ball
field in a proper manner and that umpires
must inflict fines In every case where Im-
proper conduct is indulged In, and for a
repetition declare the offending player out
of the game. The president also informed
the league that he would never remit a fine
inflicted by an umpire, but if umpires be
come tyrannical he will remove them upon
satisfactory evidence of unfair practices.
The duty of the arbitration committee will
be largely that of a board of appeals.
President McNeaius says he selected, Alex
Easton of Galveston as chairman because
of his long experience in baseball matter
and because of his well known Impartiality
in all matters with whit h he has identity.
The other members of the committee are
also, he says, good, fair and intelligent
men, who will dispense even-handed justice
in every case. The committee will be sub-
ject to the call of the president of the
league, but Mr. McNeaius says, consider-
ing the character of the umpires engaged
and players being signed for the Texas-
Southern clubs, he does not expect to have
to call the committee once for the purpose
mentioned during the season of 1895.
W. F. Hepworth, the new manager of
the Houston club, to-night telegraphed
President McNeaius that he had signed O.
I). Pickering and Pierce Childs to play with
the Houston club and desired the fact of-
ficially bulletined in order to protect him
in his rights to their services *for the sea-
son of 1895.
The president to-night returned to Chair-
man Dermody of the schedule committee at
Galveston the draft of the schedule of
games recently prepared, with suggestions
of changes it would be desirable to have
made. The most important changes sug-
gested are to have the lour clubs of the
northern division plav in their own terri-
tory on the Fourth of July and the south-
ern clubs in their own territory. The San
Antonio club also desires to play at home
instead of abroad from June 3 to June 10
because &f the fact that the National com-
mercial travelers' convention will be in
session during those days and the club
could be largely benefited financially by
playing at home. The request will probably
be granted.
The Dallas club to-day closed a contract
with the State fair and Dallas exposition
association to locate its ball park In the
fair grounds. Work will begin at once on
the improvements needed to the field and
Lrrand stand.
President McNeaius to-day officially noti-
fied John Brennan of St. Louis, Joe L.
Quest of Chicago, A. It. Anderson of
Mount Vernon, 111., and M. J. McLaughlin
of Richmond, Ya., the regular staff um-
pires of the Texas-Southern league, to re-
port to him at Dallas 011 April 13 for in-
structions and assignments.
The money to pay for protection to the
Texas-Southern league under the national
agreement for the season of 1895 was for-
warded to-day to President N. F. Young
of the National league at Washington,
Governor Matthews' Private Secretary Still
Ill—The Missing Bill.
Indianapolis, lnd., March 14.—Myron D.
King, the governor's private secretary,
who was injured in the riot at the house
of representatives Monday night, is no bet-
ter. The authorities say that the men who
were conspicuous in the riot are all well
known and are not likely to leave the state.
It is understood that warrants will be is-
sued within twenty-four hours. The cus-
todian bill, over which the row occurred,
is still missing.
The secretary of state takes the position
that he must print the bill in the published
accounts of the legislature, notwithstand-
ing it can not be found. He says records
of the two houses show that the bill was
regularly passed and signed by the lieu-
tenant governor and the speaker. The en-
grossed copy was on file with the state li-
brarian and the copy for the book of acts
will be made from it. A suit at law to test
the legality of the act will follow the ac-
tion of the secretary of state. In the
meantime the democratic custodian and
his twenty-nine floor scrubbers are still
holding offices. It was discovered to-day
that the doors to the gallery of the house
had been barred Monday night.

BRIEF TE LEG HAMS.
Dallas, Tex., March 13.~In the court of
criminal appeals:
Affirmed: George Howard, alias Charles
Williams, -from Dallas; Big Dave, from
Rockwall; Tom Stewart, from Fannin; W.
A. Clark, from Ellis.
Reversed: Zay Gibson, from Clay; A. F.
Morgan, from Brown.
Reversed and dismissed: A. G. Johnson,
from Baylor, three eases.
Motions for rehearing overruled: Newt
Short, from Palo Pinto; Charles Love,
from Bell.
Motions for rehearing submitted: S. W.
Holder, from Bosque; F. J. White, from
Wichita.
SYNOPSES OF OPINIONS.
Tom Stewart—From Fannin: Conviction
for murder. After a careful examination
of the charge of the court in connection
with the facts we are of the opinion that
it submitted the law of the case to the jury
very favorably to uppellant. Under the
facts of this case it was immaterial
whether the road obstructed was a private
or public road. The jury found against ap-
pellant's theory of self-defense and their
verdict is supported by the evidence for
the state. Affirmed. Hurt, P. J.
A. G. Johnson—From Baylor, three cases:
Conviction for permitting dominoes to be
played in a house under appellant's con
trol, the same not being a private resl
dence. The indictment does not allege nor
does the proof show that the game of
dominoes was bet at when played. Bettin
Is a necessary element of the offense
sought to be charged, and should have
been averred and proved. Reversed and
dismissed. Hurt, P. J.
Big Dave—From Rockwall: Conviction
for carrying a pistol. The complaint
charged the offense to have been commit-
ted "on or about the 21st day of January,
1894," while the information alleged the
date to be January 21, 1894. The motion in
arrest of judgment 011 this ground was
properly overruled. Affirmed. Davidson, J.
George Howard, alias Charles Williams—
From Dallas: Conviction for robbery. The
facts can not be considered because not
approved by the trial judge. In the ab-
sence of the facts the affidavits attached
to motion f?r new trial can not be consid-
red. The indictment and charge are in
proper form. Affirmed. Davidson, J.
Zay Gibson—From £lay: Conviction for
pursuing the occupation of selling intoxi-
cating liquors without license. Appellant
being a druggist, in a local option district,
sold liquor on prescription of physicians.
He had obtained no license for pursuing
occupation of retail liquor dealer.
. ...se facts are undisputed. When the
local option law goes Into operation it sus-
pends and supersedes in the given terri-
tory those laws which require the issuance
of license to liquor dealers. It was not
intended by the act of 1893 that the drug-
gist should, by paying the tax, continue
his business in such local option district,
while all others who had paid the same
tax and who were engaged in the same
business, under the terms of the same law,
should be forced to go out of business.
Their rights ami privileges and liabilities
ire equal and the same under both laws.
Reversed. Davidson, J.
LOCAL OPTION.
McKinney, Collin Co., March 13.—North
and South McKinney precincts went dry
by a vote of 997 to 866.
Lott, Tex., March 14.—The election here
to-day 011 local option resulted in 121 for
and 14'» against prohibition. The vote at
the other boxes in precincts not heard
from will make the issue doubtful.
Paris, Lamar Co., Tex., 'March 14.—A pe-
tition has been drawn up praying the com-
missioners' court to order a local option
election in the Paris precinct of Lamar
county. It will be circulated immediately.
Should the election carry only one anti
precinct will remain, all of the others hav-
ing gone dry.
Denton, Denton Co., Tex., March 14.—The
prohibition election for Saturday in this
county is the all-absorbing theme of con-
versation here. Both sides are claiming
to be in the lead, but neither is particularly
confident. The pros have done a great deal
of speechtnaking and the antls very little.
Stump Ashby, the well known populist
speaker, is expected to cW>se the campaign
for the antis here to-morrow night.
Warren, Tyler Co., Tex., March 13.—Pro-
hibition carried at this place yesterday
by six majority. It also tarried by six
majority at Minister, making twelve ma-
jority in favor of prohibition in this school
precinct. The ladies of Warren were at
the polls yesterday and took an active
part in prohibition. They had a lot of nice
hot coffee with fresh' cream and sugar,
which was free for both antis and pros.
The pros attribute their success largely
to the efforts of the ladles.
McKinney, Tex., March 14.—It Is now
rumored that the antls will contest the
local option election held here yesterday
on the plea that the petition to the com-
missioners' court was not recorded in full
as the law requires, if the contest is made
and sustained by the courts it will affect
Other local option districts in Collin county
where elections were held under the same
recording method. Various opinions are
expressed by the legal fraternity here re-
garding the final result of such a con-
gest.

DON'T WANT TO SIGN.
St. Louis, Mo., March 13.—1Catcher Peitz

also holding back. It was reported that
President Von Der Ahe is trying to get
office with a torch in hand, ready to apply
it to a pile of paper. The gentleman en-
tered to investigate, when the firebug put
out his torch and effected his escape. He
was in a few feet of a large oil can, for
which he was evidently making, as Well as
for the trash pile.
MRS. CA RUTH ERS' TRIAL
Continued Until Monday—Pathetic Meeting
of Husband and Wife.
Paris, Tex., March 14.-The examining
trial of Mrs. Caruthers, who poisoned all
three of her children on last Friday night,
a full account of which appeared in The
News of Sunday, was set for this morning
at Roxton, where the crime was commit-
ted. Last night Sheriff Hammond received
a letter from the point named to the effect
that It would not be safe to bring the man
Strange, who is charged with being an ac-
complice, there to-day, as the outlook was
threatening. Acting upon this notice it
was given out here this morning that
Strange was suddenly taken sick and that
he could not go to Roxton. Mrs. Caruth-
ers, however, was taken down for trial.
When the train reached Roxton, a crowd
of some 400 or 500 men were waiting at the
depot, while the little village was thronged
with people. They looked determined and
no doubt an attempt would have been
made to lynch Strange had he been taken
down. The feeling against him is running
high. -The throng at once repaired to the
little 20 by 30 court room, which was
jammed. It was deemed best by the coun-
sel to adjourn the examining trial to Paris
on Monday next for several reasons; first,
that the surviving daughter was not able
to be brought into the court; second, the
excitement in Roxton and the intense feel-
ing against Strange; third, the alleged ill-
ness of Strange; fourth, for lack of court
room facilities.
By consent of counsel the unopened let-
ters were opened and given to The News
reporter. They showed that Strange has
completely alienated the affections of Mrs.
Caruthers and that she loved him almost
to distraction, but they do not In any way
connect him with complicity in her crime.
I11 one of them he tells her that he must
have $5 more. The meeting of the husband
and wife in the court room was very dra-
matic, and all during the parleying of the
court officials they did not release the
hands of each other or raise their heads,
but continually wept bitterly as if their
hearts would break. Mrs. Caruthers begged
her husband to aid her in ending her exist-
ence, thai she was tired of being tortured
to death by degrees. Mrs. Caruthers re-
fuses to eat, sleep or drink, and her condi-
tion Is extremely pitiful. She raves all the
time, and it is only a matter of a short
time until the end will come unless she
finds relief. In conversation with The
News reporter one of her relations said
that she had spoken to him about commit-
ting suicide, and that he had warned her
against such a course. He stated further
that 110 attempt would be made in her be-
half on the trial, as it was useless, she
having confessed to everything and antici-
pated no clemency. He verified the cor-
rectness of the report published in The
News at the time.

win Dubois, and general treasurer, Samuel
Clark.
Newt Short—From Palo Pinto: Appellant
moves for a rehearing 011 the ground that
the Indictment was not filed in the county
court, the case being transferred from the
district court. The statute does not re-
quire the tiling of an indictment in the
court to which the cause was transferred.
But conceding that it should have been
filed, t'he objection comes too late when
urged for the first time in this court. Mo-
tion overruled. Henderson, J.
W. A. Clark—From Ellis: Conviction for
passing a forged instrument. The indict-
ment is in good form and the charge suf-
ficient. The facts are not before us. Af-
firmed, Henderson, J.
A. F. Morgan—From Brown: Conviction
for manslaughter. The court .after giving
an admirable charge 011 murder of tin
first and second degree, manslaughter and
self-defense, c harged upon provoking a dif-
ficulty. Under the facts of this case we
see no necessity for such a charge, but
conceding that such charge should have
been given, the court fails to submit the
issue of abandonment of the ^difficulty by
appellant. For the error indicated the
judgment is reversed. Henderson, J.

TWIN BIIOTIIERS.
Waco, Tex., March 14.—The court house
displayed crepe to-day on the outer en-
trances as a mark of respect for John Jung-
quist, the j ami tor, who for twenty years held
that position. There was a rather startling
situation to-dny, puzzling except to those
acquainted .wi'th the facts. John Jungquist
has a twin brother, his physical counterpart
in a'.l respects, and the presence of this
brother in the city to-day caused people to
hailt and stare. The dead brother '.eft a.
pretty dog, and the dog now follows the
living brother. The brother and the dog in
the court house 'brought the dead janitor
back again effectively.
Mr. Jungqutet, the surviving twin-brother,
is 1 Wiiy.amtfon county farmer. The Jung- 1
qu'lst brothers came from Sweden, ami
when they passed about the court house
during visits of the farmer brother to the
janitor, the court house officials could not
tell them apart, and errors occurred such a,s
are described in "The Comedy of Errors" of
the two dromios. County Judge Jenkins has
often been misled by the resemblance, and,
meeting the farmer .brother, he frequently
gave his directions intended for the janitor.
