ANNUAL MEETINS
of the cotton exchange.
Houbton, Tex, April 4.—The suntcil
meeting of the cotton exchange and board
of tiacb was held at the ootton exchange
thhs afttrncon. Theie was a large attend
ance, and a number ol oommltteea report-
ed, tcc most Important of which wa' tie
committee appointed to ohaDge the consti-
tution atd by-laws of tho organization to
conform with the new charter making the
exchange a stock company.
The finance committee made a splendid
showing.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S ADDK3SS,
Gentlemen of the Cotton Exchange and
Board ot Tracio—This is the annual meeting
of cur exchange, and I believe the twelve
months just past have proved more satis-
factory to the interest of the ootton ex-
change and board of trade than any simi
lar period during Its previous history.
While nothing remarkable has occurred,
i ad the voltime of business transacted
only fair, yet we have placed the condition
1 tha exchange on a much more satisfac'
tory basis. We have reduced the debt to
a figure that can be easily managed, and
paved the way for much greater useful
ness and wider infiaenoe in the near Enture.
The capitalization scheme, with which
\ou are familiar, and which is now being
carried out, is enre, in my opinion, to oper-
ate advantageously and to infuse new life
into this organ's, itlon, and the plan for the
further extension of membership on a
cheaper scale of charges will enable u<j, I
tope, to interest, and induce to join us, rep-
resentatives of every branch of businass
and Industry iu our city.
I believe you will all join me in saying
tbat the thing most to be desired is to see
this hall the debating ground for all qiea-
tiens of material progress in which our
city as a whole Is interested, except poll
ties. For this purpose X am sure that every
one present or connected with this ex
charge would like to see the membership
doubled and trebled from all classes) of oar
people who have the welfare of the* com-
munity at heart and who feel an Interest in
our commercial prosperity. I would sug-
gest that every member ot this exchange
cocttitnte himself a committee ol one to
set t ew tneic bers, not f or the sake of the f e w
doilare it may bring into the treasury, but
in order to inaugurate a new era of butter
feeling ard greater efforts st co operation
among the many people interested in the
proeperlty of this city and in its good name.
It this is not a commercial and industrial
city it is nothing, and it is not just nor is it
fair tbat oil efforts and deliberations of a
public character as woll as the expenditure
of time and money for the public benefit
chould be relegated to a few. Manufac-
turers and retail dealers aa well
as capitalists, professional men and
if-al estate owners should join us
end help ns along in all matters of public
intfrent. In this way we would not only
get the benefit of wise counsel that would
be useful to us all, but it would also bring
about a better understanding with each
other; more particularly with each other's
view&, and break down tho bars of preju-
dice and Eusplclon, which are such a terri-
ble obstacle to the welfare of any commu
nity. There is one very important class of
cur business community that should by all
tzeans become a part of this institution and
co operate with us, and thereby greatly
benefit themselves and us—that is tna lam
her people. The lumber trade of this
city and vicinity is now assuming such
large proportions as to necessitate an or-
ganization of this kind, and it will prove
cheaper, more convenient and more bene-
ficial to jcln in than to act alone. United,
we can exert moro infiaence whenever and
wherever influence Is needed to bear on
any matter required to facilitate this
branch of business. In my judgment, a
bulletin board, with dall^ lumber quota-
tions from Chicago and other centers of
the lumber trade, would prove useful to
tfceir business, and if so, wo have both the
room and the telegraph facilities and con-
nections to accommodate them. I sincerely
hope that this matter will be taken into
consideration by all concerned.
I have to report that a committee of the
directory of this *xohunga has visited Mr.
A C. Hutcbeson, tbe gener.il manager of the
(Southern PacificKailroad company,a', New
Orleans, for the purpose of urging the im-
portance of bettor transportation facilities
on Buffalo bavtra. While our petition was
cordially received, nothing definite has
teen promised aa yet, a? matters o" this
kind have to referred to various parties
interested. This is a subject ofjvery great
importance to the cotton trade of Houston
ei« one tbat should not be lost sight of. A
special committee, composed of Messrs.
Watson, Head and Christian,was appointed
by tbe directory to advise such cnacgea
aid modifications in the conatlttMotts aad.
by-laws as would better suit ths require-
ments ol the new charter. Tuose gentle-
Kc-ti have given the matter careful atten-
tion. and their suggestions have bairn acted
npon and approved by the directory.
1 tiust that they will meet yonr
views, and tbat they will contribute
to the further needs ot this org aula atlon. 1
also invite your attention to the report of
the finance committee and th8 valuable
tng{ estiotio it contain?. The various com
Mittt es of this exchange have performed
their culioFiWitti punctuality and credit, and
desnve our sincere ttiauks. Tiie hivinony
aaci good feeling that haa existed among us
all is b. matter or uintual congratulation. In
tny own behalf 1 beg to extend ray hearty
tiafiks for the courtesies and assistance
extended tome iu my official capacity by
all members of tho exchange, bat more eu
y oipHy by the board of directoas and by

eve- before will be grown tbi; year. A
great deal ot teed has already been planted.
Halts have been frequent and m some

mers that toil conditions could not be bet-
ter. The out'ook Is encouraging. Farmers
were sever more hopeful, In the western
jratt ot' the sfcete particularly. Reports are
cheerful, the only drawback being that
some of the new settlers lack seed. There
will be aa immense area of sorghum, rye,
corn, millet and alfalfa grown.

RAILROAD rMl'ROVBMKNTS.
The Southern JPaciiic railway people are
preparirg to make extensive improvements
here consequent npon the recent visit of
Mr. HusUnBton.and iu the face of a demand
by tha local morning paper that the road
should be boycotted, because it refuses
to rcb the wool producers in the Interest of
San Antonio. The first improvement will
be tlie building of a thirty-four stall rouad-
hcuse and doubling the capacity of ch6 ma-
chine shop. These shops now pay ont
about $15,OCO per month, and there is no
question but that the road would bttlld very
ttteneive shops here but for the iiuoerality
of the press and lending merchants.

A MUftDEHER II&HOED.
As Stual Ho Tells the Spectators that Ha Is
Goirg to Heaven.
Lockbaven, Pa., April 4.—Luther f-Jhaffer
was taken from his cell at 11 o'clock to-day
and hanged. The man ascended the steps
to the gallows with a firm tread, and was
supported by Fathers Snbert and Sheri-
dan. Oa the scaffold Shaffer stepped to the
front and said: -'Good by, gentlemen, I am
goirg now. I hope to meet you all In
heaven." After kissing tha prloats and
sheriff ha bade them good by and the noase
was adjusted. Tea minutes after tha drop
fell his pulse was hardly perceptible, and
at 18 minutes after it had ceased to beat.
The statement made by Shaffer recently
under oath to VV. H. Clough, attorney for
JohnEC-ir, is published In the Evening
Express to day, in which Shaffer
adm'.Ss the crime and exonerates
.Johnson. Clough and Meyers, Johnson's
attorneys, sent the statement to the g >v-
err.or, asking for a respite in order to have
Shaffer testify for Jolmsoc, bat the exoci-
ttve clemency was refused. The crime for
which Shaffer was executed was tho double
murder of leaiahand Nora Colby, at Cher-
ry run, Clifton county, Pa., last August.
The discovery that murder had been doue
w«s made on Monday, August 7. In a
bouee near where the bodies lay was found

D Bcoverlng that he wrs snupected Shaffer
fled, but was captured and taken
to Lockhaven, where he was tried
and convicted. The evidence agaiast
biro was purely circumstantial but con-
clufive of his guilt. No defense was made
by his Bttorneye, and he never denied hsv-
ti R been present when the murder was oom
milted, but all through his confinement in-
sle. ted that others were implicated. It was
evident that the woman was ravished after
being shot, as her clothing was torn to
shreds, and there were more indications
that a struggle had taken place in the field
near the hoiiee where the bodies ware found.
Efsie Kline, James Kline and JohaW.
Johnson were Indicted with SU&ffer for
murder, but for lack of evidence against
them tbe Klines were discharged. Johnson
was brought to trial and convicted of mur-
der m the first degree. A new trial has
been asl;ed for In his case, but as yet has
neither been granted nor refused. Shaffer
was but little past 22 years of ago when tho
crime tras committed, and was of respect-
able; parentage, hia father being a prosper

Further Information Concerning the Natural
Of.s Well—The Quantity.
Brbuham, Tex., April 4—Your corre-
spondent has carefully Interviewed gentle-
men who have visited the natural ga3 well
lately discovered in this county. The fact
that natural gas has been found in the new
well near the old one first discovered sev-
eral yet rs ago has been verified, but the
volume of gas seems to be just the same as
in the well abandoned. Doubts are still ex-
pressed whether the force now shown in the
welH ard quantity will be sufficient to pay
for the trouble and expense of even making
an effort to bring it here by a pipe line.
Quantities of gas are now emitted from
the six-inch bore woll. By sinking still
deeper in Itie new well—forty feet distant,
perhaps—the quantity will be Increased.
As it is cow, tne future alone will have to
deteimite the resources and value of the
new discovery to Brenham.
The* excitement occasioned by the won-
deriui leports first brought here has svib-
lided, and while everybody would be glad
if the natural gas discovery could boaefit
Ihe conniy and city, none can bo found
willing to invest money iu the stock of ttia
new enterprise until better satisfied of
tecnrlty. There are no signs of coal or
coal oil in the well 155. feet deeo. Water
was etruck a few feet farther down.
Tbe gas escapes with a hissing sound and
throws a flame np ten feet high.
