CISCO'S TOUCHING APPEAL
HOPE GONE WITHOUT ASSISTANCE
FROM OUTSIDE OF TEXAS.
Eabbi E. M. Chapman Say a Words Cannot
Portray the Disaster—Incidents
from Eis Observation.
Diixis, Tel., May 13.-Dr. E. M. Chap-
man, rabbi of temple Euianu-El, who re-
turned from Cisco yoaterday, said to a Newb
reporter:
"The accounts of the cyclone aa given in tho
various papers of the state and those outside
of tho state, as also the accounts given by the
full committee of Cisco relief in the accom-
panying letter, does not begin to convey an
accurate idea of . tho enormous amount of
damage done and the terrible experienoo of
the inhabitants of Cisco. The town was to all
intents and purposes blown out of existence.
Not one house was loft standing. The extent
of the storm was ten miles long and one-half
to three-quarters of a mile in width. I went
over the entire path of tho storm and in its
course there was nothing left but devastation
and demolition in all parts. A great many of
the people had their houses nicely furnished.
Their homes disappeared and all furniture,
and tho wearing apparel of whole families was
torn into absolute "shreds and scattered
over miles of country. It was left hanging
in strings on the fonces through the country
and from the boughs of trees, not one piece
being recognized. The people have nothing
to eat except that which has been provided by
the people of the state, and that which has
been purchased by the relief committee from
the money which has been sent to tho town.
"The storm was so terrific in its onslaught
that, almost incredible as it may appear, a
piece of fence rail 1x4 inches through, was
caught up by the wind and hurled with such
terrific force against a solid rock that it abso-
lutely split tho rock and imbedded itsolf be-
tween the two dissevered parts in such a man-
ner that it is impossible to extricate it. This
I 6aw with my own eyes, and I state it for the
purpose of illustrating the terrific velocity
and the amount of damage done by the storm.
Twenty-seven liveB were lost. In tho Hick-
man family five children were instantly
killed and the parents carried on the
wings of the atorm 100 yards, and
entirely denuded of all clothing. In the
Owens family the father and two children
were'instantly killed. A little girl with ner
arm broken and badly bruised and her mother
Btili in danger of death. There is hardly a
man, woman or child in this once prosperous
city but who is maimod and wounded.
Solid rock houses two stories high crum-
bled into dust and out of sixty houses across
the Central railroad in the northeastern por-
tion of town only three remain and those are
in a very dilapidated condition. The town is
almost entirely Bwept nut of existence. There
are only a few stoves left on which to cook the
victuals of the people there, who for the most
part assemble at the public tent to partake of
their meals three timeB a day, as they are su p
plied by the central relief committee.
"The amount of damage from a conservative
standpoint is placed between $600,000 and
$000,000 and the amount received for relief is
about $10,000. Unless prompt measures are
taken the greatest misery and distress must
be the lot of the people of Cisco. The condi-
tion is more appalling than words of mine can
express and no amount of description, how-
ever graphic it may bo, can convey to those
abroad the terrible condition of affairs. A
great deal of the money that has been sent
has been expended for provisions, telegrams,
lumber and freight, which is being generous-
ly distributed by the committee iu charge
among the sufferers. I was present at a meet-
ing of the central relief committee and can
vouch for the fact that the greatest care is
taken, the greatest interest evinced and the
greatest judiciousness shown by their efforts.
The various members of this committee have
persistently refused to receive a dollar of help
until their more unfortunate brethren have
been assisted.
"Houses have been destroyed, widows left
penniless and dependent and in some instan-
ces little orphans, bereft of loving parents,
were thrown upon the cold mercies of tho
world. Ono instance especially came under
my notice. I have forgotton the name of the
family, but a poor woman who had beon con-
fined about three days before tho storm was
struck by a falling pisoe of timber which en-
tered her Bide. Her three-day-old babe was
hurled through space for 200 or 300 yards and
she was taken from under the debris with the
piece of wood still fixed in her person. The
poor woman cried for hor babo. No one
could give her an y account of its whereabouts.
Two drummers, who had come to the town
for refuge and not being able to find a place
of rest, went in the direction of the woods in
the midst of the storm. Reaching til* woods
they heard a cry like that of a babe «nd a
flash of lightning showed them a little child
with its face enveloped in its clothes. They
took the babe up and retraced their stepB,
seeking the first light they saw, which proved
to be the very place where the mother of the
little one lay suffering. The poor mother
Save one cry of joy. The attending physioian
rew out the splinter from her side and in ten
minutes the poor woman had ceased to
breathe. Isn't it horrible? This iB only one
of tho many fearful experiences incidental to
this terrific cyclone.
"A grand featuro of the whole affair is tho
cheerlulness evinced by all, all striving to
relieve the suffering of their fellows by word,
by look and by deed. Tho relief committee
has a gigantic task on hand, one that it will
bo absolutely unable to cope with unless the
charitable public of this country comes to
their aid. They are all good men and true.
The public need not fear but that every cent
that is forwarded to this Buffering community
will be justly, honorably and fairly distributed
among the Buffering. Even at the present
time, with the limited amount in their pos-
session the poor are being attended first. Even
the poor negroes, who have also suffored, have
received an equal share with their no less
unfortunate white brethren.
"The cry of Cisco iB great. Its needs are
greater than any one can conceive, Texas has
rendered her fair share of help in this emer-
gency. The great centers of this country in
the great cause of humanity should respond
liberally and quioklv. 'He who gives in time
gives double.' In the great cause of human-
ity I appeal to all people of all classes and
conditions to send their mite to this sadly
afflicted town. It is useless for me to con-
tinue my description of the needs of this peo-
ple. The town ories to the world from every
nook and corner of its devastation. Let the
responses be quick and large and may God
bless all those who listen to the cries of the
suffering and distressed."
Dr. Chapman handed Tub News the follow-
ing appeal, signed by offioials and members
of the relief committee, ministers and citizens
of Cisco, and he says he vouches for the cor-
rectness of the statements therein, having
beon on the ground:
A strono Al'l'KAL.
Cisco, Tex., May 10.—Rey. Dr. Chapman,
Dallas, Tex.: Reverend sir—Au exact copy
of the letter we wrote Sharp <!fc Dohme of Bal-
timore, Md., cannot bo made, as we failed to
retain a copy of it. Nevertheless wo will give
you the substance of it. The letter was called
forth by a letter from Sharp & Dohme with
olipping from some paper in the east, which
waB in substance:
Washington, May 2.—In response to an
offer of assistance to cyclone sufferers at Cis-
co, Tex., Miss Clara llarton of the Rod Cross
society has received a message of thankB,
stating that $2200 in cash and $1000 in supplies
has been contributed at Albany, Tex., and
that no help is needed from outside tho stato.
The mossage purported to bo from O. L
Reynolds and N. L. Bartholomew of Albany
W. said and say that the statement as'abovo bo
far as tho generous donations of our sisier
town of Albany is concerned is true. Albany
people have acted nobly and generously
toward us in our sad bereavement. They
have placed Cisco and her people under great
obligations to them, and we love them for
their unselfish and unstinted geuerosity to-
ward us, and should the occasion evor offer
we will show our lovo and appreciation by our
aations. This is not only true of Albany, but
very many other points both in and out of the
state havo responded liberally and promptly
to our appeal for assistance. The donations
up to date have been many and liberal, and
to one not on the ground may seem sufficient;
but wo wish to reiterate the fact that Cisco
has suffered greatly, far more than any one
will ever know who does not make a personal
investigation. Our little city was shaken
from center to circumference—not a house in
the town escaped injury—90 per cent boing
totally demolished, the rest damaged to a
greater or less extent. The loss within tho
corporate limits of Cisco has been variously
estimated from $350,000 to $70U,000. At first
wo thought a conservative estimate of the
loss in town would be $350,000, but now we
feel sure it will roach $500,000. All this de-
struction in a town of from 1200 to 1500
inhabitants makes the loss to each individual,
if all suffered equally, which of course iB not
correct, very large. Very many of our peo-
ple lost all tlioy had. Especially is this true
of the poorer olassos. But it should be re-
membered that the loss is not confined to the
town, but extends for several miles into the
country and the losses in tho country are
great. The donations to the sufforerB ars for
all. We know no corporate lines in the dis-
tribution. All the public buildings, city hall,
fire oouipnny's headquarters, calaboose,
schoolhouses, churches, etc., were totally de-
molished. The merchant who a fow days
ago was in good circumstances now is with-
out employment, without, business house,
without residence and without goods, or with
goods badly damaged. Ono of the affects of the
cyclono was to completely atop the channels
of trade, and our population is to-day and
will be for some tirno to come uou-supporting.
The man who had a littio money has used or
will use it largely in obtainiug shelter and
household necessaries. The man with credit
but no money can use that for a while, but
very many of our people are wholly depend-
ent upou their iellow man for assistance.
With our knowledge of the surroundings wo
were greatly surprised to loam that wa needod
no assistance outside of Texas. We do need
assistance and need it badly, from whereso-
ever it may come. Food and clothing, gifts
of the generous people from every quarter,
is sufficient for the present, but money, lum-
ber, hardware, furniture and workmen are
greatly needed and will be for many days to
come. This is a true statement of the case,
which anyone can fully appreciate by an in-
vestigation. We make this statement and cor-
rection iu justice to ourselves and our many
friends who have made personal appeals for
relief outside of Texas. We teel as grateful
for what has been done for us as any people
could, and should the donations cease, we will
remember when we hear of suffering and des-
olation elsewhere, what the good people have
done for uh, but should there be other kind
hearts who wish to help us, their donations
will be received in the spirit of the giver. Wo
have received to date about $36,00U and a do-
nation from the state of $10,000, but how far,
in our extreme destitution, will $40,000 go?
An amount less than 10 per cent of our losses.
It was our hope that Cisco might be rebuilt
and continue as a town, but our hope is gone,
if we fail to receive assistance outside of
Texas. Hoping that this letter from us, the
executive committee of the relief committee,
will be sufficient for you to fully understand
the situation, we remain, yours truly,

Owens one# called his home. All tlmt re-
mained to tell the tale of woe was three feet
of a rock chimney, tho stone steps in the
terrace, ono chair in the back yard and barely
enough lumber to build a hen coop, Furni-
ture, bedding and clothing all gotio. A
vacant lot remains as the silent witness who
speaks in unmistakable words of the distress
that befell the unfortunate onos.
Not far from this scene I beheld another
more pitiable. Marl Owers lay dying, one
swaet littio girl by his side with her head
mashed in, a son 14 years old dead near by,
his helpless wife with an injured back close
by. Six other children, all more or less in-
jured and crippled, with arms and legs brokon
magnifies tho picture of distress.
Mart looked about him and in feeble tones,
gently spoke: "I would help this if I could,
but I don't know as I want to. I'll not bo
here to care for them." One son, being ab-
sent on a round-up escaped injury.
A few days thereafter Mart Owens and two
childron lay in one grave, still in tho cold
embrace of death.
Ho had seen better days; ho was au old-
time cattle man and as such merited tho re-
spect of a large circle of acquaintances and
friends. Advursity had overtaken him, and
while fortune no longer smiled upon him, bis
credit wa, unimpaired and hod he lived would
havo beou ablo to regain his vanished fortune.
Those of us upon whom prosperity has sinilod
should not be reluctaut in owning our purses
and assisting tho destitute widow and helpless
orphans, whose bitter wail and deep anguish
imploringly cry to our merciful father for aid
and comfort.
Mart Owens left no life insurance or other
property; all that ho left in the way of wealth
to his family was a olean record. Mart has
"turned over" His last herd and gone to meet
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob at the last "grand
round-up," from whence no herder has ever
returned to oainp. Friends, we have only a
temporary lease on our "herds" und
will soon -be called on to "tally
them out" to the giver of all goods,
who will select another "herder" to tako
our place.
Mart Owens was the only cattleman in
Cisco, and seems to have been the worst suf-
ferer. The people of Cisco who had anything
loft did all in their power to relievo the suf-
fering. The people of Texas have responded
nobly for the general good, but it is our duty
to help the Owens family. The cattlemen of
this slate have kind hearts and will sympa-
thize with tho distressed widow and holpleas
orphans of a brother cattleman.
In addition to the contributions already
made, we cheerfully subscribe for the beuotit
of the Owens family the sum of $100 and trust
that our action will be emulated by the cattle-
men of Texas. Funds subscribed may bo paid
to the order of tho undersigned at the b irst
national bank of Albany, Tex., and will bo
devoted to the noble cause mentioned above.
Statements of tho amounts subscribed will bo
duly acknowledged to the subscribers through
the public preBS. Let us then, one and all,
do by Mart Owens wnat we would have bun
do by us. Trusting for early responses, truly
ours, Geo. T. Reynolds,
'resident First national bank, Albany, Tex.
DB. CHAPMAN'S SERMON.
He
Appeals for Cisco and Compliments
The News for Its Work.
And if thy brother bo waxen poor, and fallen
in decay with thee, tbon tliou shalt relievo him;
yea, though ho be a stranger or a sojourner."
The command of Moses, the great legislator,
as given to the Israelites in the twonth-fifth
chapter of Levitious, was the text of an elo-
quent appeal made in behalf of the Cisco suf-
ferers to the congregation Emanuel-El last
night by Rev. Dr. E. M. Chapman. The doc-
tor had just returned from a visit to the af-
flicted community, and the distress there wit-
nessed stirred him to Jmake still another ef-
fort among the generous hearted of the syna-
gogue. He said tho Hebrew people had been
clawed as clannish by christians, when, if
the latter were conversant with the faith and
worskings of Judaism, they would know that
the divine humanitarian law commanded tho
same charity to the strangor and sojourner
as to those of tne faith. Judaism, he said,
was based on the broadest of humanitarian-
ism and if its people did not extend tho help-
ing hand to Jew and genlile aliko they were
untrue to the fundamental principles of their
religion.
Dr. Chapman also dwelt upon the unosten-
tation that should be the characteristic of all
charity. When it was commanded that God's
people consider the poor it meant considera-
tion in its broadest tsnse—thut charity whioh
would neithor humiliate the receiver nor
glorify the giver. To illustrate the courtesy
of true charity he related an incident found in
the Talmud. "In the days when rabbis were
rich," said the doctor, "which days have long
since fled and will probably never return, an
opulent merchant living near a philanthropic:
rabbi fell by a series of misfortunes into ex-
treme poverty. Shortly aftorwnrd the raubi
called upon hun, professing to be the bearer
of news that a rich but distant relative of the
now poor merchant had just died, willing the
merchant all his wealth, which was very
great, so great in fact that it would necessi-
tate a lapse of time beforo the estate could bo
adjusted. Whereupon the good rabbi begged
him to accept a largo loan that the business of
the merchant might not suffer iu the interval,
but he bo relieved from his reverses. The
rabbi was compelled to deceive the man in
this way to render his aid accept-
able, but undoubtedly God forgave the de-
ception in consideration cf the principle on
which he acted. In thoso days, also, unlike
the proBent time, the people wero wont to be-
lieve in tho word of tho rabbi, and the mer-
chant had no doubt whatever as to the genu-
ineness of his heirship. Becoming uneasy
after a time for fear the rabbi might want his
loan before the receipt of the fortune, ho ad-
dressed him concerning it. 'Never fear,' an-
swered the rabbi. 'If you receive your for
tune nil well and good; if not, do not fear but
what I shall got my pay. The Lord will re-
ward me.'"
Leaving his congregation to draw its own
application of this old legend, the doctor gave
a graphic description ot the desolation und
suffering ho had witnessed at Cisco, and re-
ferred his congregation to this morning's
issue of The News. "To The Dallas Morn-
ing News," he said, "the people of Cisco are
in a great measure indebted for the assist-
ance tliat has poured in from near and re-
jnoto sections of tho stato. Tho apace
devoted in that paper to the calls for help and
the needs of tho sufferers has been unstinted
and the great disaster ably handled. Yet half
of the suffering cannot bo told. Wordscannot
oxpress it. Through The News, however, and
over the wires of the Associated Press, and
thus into every part of the union a call wilt
be made to-morrow that will stir the pulses of
a liboral nation, and will bring in largo meas-
ure the help that is so much needed. Let
those of my hearers who have not been
touched by tho appeals already made in Dal-
las respond now and at once, however small
be their contribution, roniembering that with
the needy an immediatejrespoaae double* the
value."

To Relieve the Suffering of the Family of

Albany, Shackelford Co., Tex., May 9.—'To
the cattlemen of Texas: On behalf of the dis-

the late Cisco cyclone, I appeal to you for aid
and assistance to reliovo their sufferings and
waute with the hope that liberal responses
will be the result of thoso lines.

People Wild All Night—Stores Damaged
by Leaking Roofs.
Cisco, Eastland Co., Tex.. May 11.—Last
night was one of the most uncomfortable
nights since tne oyclone of the 28th ultimo.
Heavy clouds came up from all directions
and from all indications it looked
as though the town was again to be swept
from the face of the earth. Tho lightning
played in all forms and suggested to the
minds of the people tliat another terriflo storm
was coming. Most citizens walked the streets
nnd yards whore their littio cottages have
been rebuilt and watched the threatening ele-
ments nearly all night, many of them leaving
their houses and hunting refuge at other
places where they thought fchey would be
better protected in case of a storm.
But after many long hours of waiting and
watching the fact was realized that they wero
only going to be raiued upon in torrents.
After tho rain began those who had sought
refuge in the various cellars felt much
relieved to know that nothing worso than a
rainstorm was on thepa, and these sought
their homes and spent the remaining hours of
the night sleoping.
Every roof in town leaked moro or less
and the various business houses were drenched
and sustained a groat deal of damage, though
all seemed to bo happy that it was no worse
and in a jolly way went to work to remove the
water from tho floors of their placos of busi-
ness, as well as protect and dry out tho goods
damaged by water.
The amount of the cash donations received
by the relief oommittee yesterday was $863 28.

THE REMARKABLE JUMP
Of a Durham Cow from a Train in Full
Speed.
Dallas, Tex., 13.—A fine Durham cow and
her calf were shipped from Fort Worth to Dr.
S. D. Thruston at Dallas. En route between
Arlington and Handley, whilo the train was
moving at full speed, tho door of the car on
which the animals were stalled flow open and
the cow jumpod out. When the train arrived
in Dallas Dr. Thru6ton was informed of the
death of his cow. He had tho calf sent to his
homo, intending to raise it, but it refused to
take nourishment and lie turnod it over to a
butcher who slew it. Yesterday tho doctor's
cow was turned over uninjured to hurt by a
railroad official who stated that it had beou
found grazing (and lowing between inouth-
fuls for her calf) on the prairie near where she
jumped from the train. The animal was un-
injured.
Sensational Divorce.
Albany, Shackelford Co., Tex., May 12.-

ranch property and stook in this county. Both
are aged and have raised a largo family, hav-
ing been married nearly forty years ago.

It is believtd the guilty party or parties will
soon be apprehended.
For Tho News.
The Brooklyn handicap is on to-morrow.
To tho mind of the out-of-town lover of tho
thoroughbred, and the city lover for that mat-
ter, there are but two big races during the
legitimate season—the Brooklyn and sub-
urban handicaps. To a moro or loss degree
this is true. There are, of course, tho Metro-
politan and stakes of lesser value, but to the
true sportsman's mind tho two big handicaps
appeal moro than all the othei stakes and
races combined.
In New York, the scene of action, where the
candidates aro written and talked of months
before theeventj where hundreds of thousands
of dollars aro wagered, and where from 25,0U0
to 35,000 people 6hout themselves hoarse, tho
interest is intense. Is it to be wondered at,
then, that thoso sportsmen unable to view
either race read with avidity every bit of gos-
sip relative to them and the thoroughbreds
entered?
When the sum of about $10,000—and a fow
thousand dollars cither way do not matter
when a sporting event of uueh magnitude as
the handicap is conlemplated—iato bo won in
a little over two minutes, it is only natural
that the general public, in addition to the
"talent," should be curious. This is the esti-
mated sum to be divided among the three
horses that first catch the eyes of the judges.
A princely sum? Yea, but not too largo
when the many months of hard preparation
apd anxiety ou the part of o wners and train-
ers considered.
This year's Brooklyn handicap promises to
be no less brilliant in point of eutries than
any of those preceding it. The candidates
are of the linest mettled horseflesh—animals
that to-morrow will be keyed up to tho highest
point of equino locomotion and endurance.
These will bo drawn up in line before a small
but determined man—the starter—holding a
red flag.
A quarter of a mile away, in the grand
stand and on the lawn at the Graveaend track,
thirty, perhaps forth thousand people will
breathlessly await the signal.
Is that a breakaway? Yes? No, they're off,
and tho cry "They're off! they're ot!!" will
escape from thoso 30,000 thro,'its, only to bo
echoed and re-echoed from paddock to bet-
ting ring.
With the dipping of the flag these 30,000
feverish, expectant spectator- will follow tho
movements of the gallant thoroughbreds sent
on their journey of one and one-quarter mileB,
There will bo many changes in the eariy part
of the journoy. Taral, Murphy, Garrison—
these skilled and trained jockeys—will be too
wiso to make the pace. They will leave this
to the lightweights.
Ono can almost see the field (in imagina-
tion) as it turns into the stretch for home.
What flashes of color!
Is that Judge Morrow's head in front? No?
Then it must be the gallant old Raceiand,
Locohatchee or Territier. Perhaps, and only
perhaps, mind, it may be l'arvonue.
On they come, their thuiidering hoofs
making wild music in the ears of the half-
mnddoned sportsmen.
Now they'ie opposite the totting ring, and
—as if sent on by a bash of lightning-tho
leaders pass the judges!
Who can say which has won? Who has
dreamed the winner? Will they pass the post
in the order of the accompanying cut, with
Judge Morrow leading and Par venue and Lo-
cohatchee fighting for the place! Or—but
guessing on a horserace is bad business even
when tho Brooklyn handicap is tho interest-
ing oveut.
But let us take a glance at tho candidates.
They are a fine, and to tl*e shrewd turfman of
years of experience, even an uncertain lot.
Where's tho sleeper? Will it turn out to be the
delusivo Two Bits, the fleet Russell, or Diable,
or Fidolio, or Charade, or in one of the light-
weights, any ono of which looks as though it
had a chance? Tho lightweights are all fleet,
but the heavier weights, because thoy are hot-
ter seasoned and tried, domand attention tirst.
Among those fairly well up in tho scale
Judge Morrow attracts the most attention.
Even if Judge Morrow did add the handicap
to his laurels last year. 1S92, he would be en-
titled to consideration for tho good work ho
has done. Reports of his rapid trials—as, for
instance, one und one-half miles in 2at
the Booning's track, the mile and a quarter
being done in 2:17#, with Morrow finishing
good and strong—are such as to entitle him
to the honor of being a serious competitor.
Morrow is a grand race horse, and there will
be thousands to-morrow which will tight to
put their money on him. By many he is
thought to have a better chance than Lamp-
lighter, who may not start.
If Lamplighter—that beautiful equine ma-
chine—does start, and ho is in any kind of
shape, he will, no doubt, be favorite. Loco-
hatchee. too, will havo a look in.
And tnen there are those two noble animals,
Kingston and Banquet. What if the Dwyers
shoula win tho stake which they inaugurated
and which has become so famous? Would it
not be a just roward for their courago and
truo sportsmauliko spirit?
But during tho last wcok or so tho heavy-
weights havo been neglected and the light-
weights have had an inning. Whether tho
situation will change to-morrow remains to
be seen.
Tako, for instance, Pnrrenue. This thor-
oughbred, though, carries 114 pounds, and
may not bo considered among tho light-
weights. There has boon much talk of Parvo-
nuo s fast trials—trials made at a time when
the railbirds were adeep, when tho animal
could not be seen and only its clattering
hoofs could be heard. Certainly, even if thoso
reports are exaggerated, l'arvenuo will not bo
out of the race until it is over.
But there is another well t ried animal that
cau consistently be called among the light
weights. This is Territier with an impost of
108 pounds. Two Bits, carryingitwo pounds
more is dangerous and no wise man, that is if
he knows anything about racing, will ignoro
Charade, Paotolus or Detnuth. Russoll, al-
though speedy, can hardly be said to have
a very rosy chance and then the little robin
that perched on the no^e of the statue of
Horace Greeley outsido the Tribune building
yesterday, said that RusSell had taken un-
kindly to her feed of late.
There are too many candidates to call for
individual mention, but no article on tho
Brooklyn handicap would bo complote with-
out tho name of tho old war horse Raceiand.
Who knows when he soes the assistant start-
er's flag that new bones mav not replaco tho old
onos, youthful blood tho sluggish fluid of age,
now and elastic munclos tlvso wnich unkind
turfmen say have becomo bound? And if
Old Bones wins? Well, lirooklynites nearly
ten miles away will hoar tho shouting, so well
beloved is this thorough^rod of thorough-
breds.
Turfmen have come to tho conclusion that
betting in the future books is unprofitable.
Scratches are too numerous to make betting
in this way pleasing. In consequence there
has not been the money wagored in Now York
that was expected. In Covington, Ky„ how-
ever, a groat deal of betting has been done.
Here a few days ago quite a plunge was in ado
on Parveuue and his prico was cut down from
150 to 40 tol. Private information only would
causo this cut.
Hero is the latest betting and probable
starters:
Name. Odd*.! Namo. Odd*.

the Brooklyn handicap, for in the record the
lost hopes of many an owner and perhaps tho
broken heart of a horse may be round.
Grand old Tonny, who won in 18U1 in 2:10
flat; Exile, who wore the laurel in 1889,in
2:073-3; Tho Bard, whose arching neck flew
pa.si the post in 2:13 flat in 1888—all theso win-
ners, and Castaway II, left in their wako a
trail of sad disappointments.
The present handicap of 1893 will have tho
Mine trail. There can be but. ono winner,
and in the shouts that will greet him the losers
will bo forgotten.
The Brooklyn handicap has steadily grown
until it is now one of the most important
stakes in this or any other country.
If the weather is clear to-morrow and the
track good the favorito will not bo ho who
would have held that proud position if the
track is wet and muddy. These conditions
are very important.
Name tho winner while you havo time. It
may be a sensational race, and then, if you
call it, gee what an oracle and authority on
racing you will be known as.

FORT WORTH BUDGET.
I)lHtiuguifth«d Visitors.
Fort Worth, Tex., May 12.—Ruilroad Com-
missioners Pofeter and McLean und Attorney
General Culberson came to town last night
and have beou here all day. The presence
hero of the three could not fail to start the
politicians to talking. It has been quite a
while since three such stalwart Hogg men
rollod in on the same train. There wero all
Korts of speculations as to what the presenco
of the big-wigs meant.
A News reporter dropped into tho Pickwick
to-day. Attorney General Culberson sat chat-
ting with Col. W. L. Malono, president of the
Gazeite company, and Mr. O. B. Colquitt of
Terrell, who has recently purchased an inter-
est in the Gazette and is now vice president
of that company. Commissioner Fester was
talking earnestly to a member of the Gazette
staff explaining the benefits and blessings of
the commission and how the railroad robber3
had impoverished the people by jobberies in
the past. Ho told how the construction com-
panies built the roads, sold out and then
burnt the books.
He shook hands cordially with a News man.
He said the commission still had plenty of
work preparing for tho accumulated duties
devolving upou the members when the su-
preme court of the United Slates shall havo
knocked Judge McCormick's decree into a
cocked hat and once more asserts tho right
of the people to rogulate their own affairs.
Of the final triumph of the commission in its
present shape Commissioner Foster has not
the slightest doubt. Just now he said the
commission is engaged in figuring on
tariffs and classifications for express com-
panies.
Attorney General Culberson said he was
away from Austin ou business connected
with tho Greer county case and stopped over
in Forth Worth for a day of rest, His trip
had nothing in the world to do with his re-
ported canvaps for the gubernatorial nomina-
tion. Ho merely talked about the weather and
other general topics to Messrs. Malone and
Colquitt.
Col. Dick Wynne did not call on the dis-
tinguished visitors during their stay here and
this luct was commented upon. Among tho
many rumors afloat was one that the three
gentlemen had come to Port Worth to pre-
pare the way for ' Hogg who. according
to Senator Swayi. ill move to Fort Worth
at the expiration o. a is present term of office.
As to the Packing House.
Messrs. Simpson and Tellinghast, presi-
dent and general manager respectively of tho
now packing company, telegraphed Mr. M. C.
Hurley to-day that they will surely arrive in
Fort Worth not later than Monday morning.
Mr. Hurley said to a reporter that the gen-
tlemen will take charge ot the present plant
immediately upon their arrival and commence
operations at once. Thoy havo everything in
nhape, Mr. Hurley !says, and there will bo no
delay. It will be tne policy of tho owners,
Mr. Hurley continued, not to make any
splurge. They will not make any great en-
largements until tho business of the institu-
tion justifies it. They will slaughter enough
cattle to supply the trade and increase the
capacity from time to time as the necessities
of the situation require.
The title to tho plant at North Fort Worth
has already passed to Mr. Simpson and his
associates. The Simpson party have also
acquired the titles to large bodies of land in
the neighborhood of the packing house upon
which they proposo to erect homes for their
employes.
Soma of the Stolen Goods Found.
Night beforo last Lowis' store was broken
into and robbed. A quantity of hardwaro,
consisting of pistols, knives, files and various
sorts of tools, was taken. This morning the
police roooverod a large part of tho stolen
goods in a negro ico croatn parlor near the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas yards. Tho pro-
prietor of the place asserted his entire igno-
rance Uf the method by which the goods came
to his place. The police have reason to be-
lieve, they say, that the people who committed
the robbery are in Dallas. An officer went to
Dallas this evening for the purpose of bring-
ing them back. John Brewer is under arrest
here for the crime.
The Waterworks Contract.
Thero havo beon rumors flying around thick
and fast for several days that the grind jury
wa« investigating a whole lot of tilings and
among thoin tho waterworks contract. Noth
ing of course cau bo learnod beyond the fact
that several men who havo taken a lively in-
terest in the waterworks fight from beginning
to end have been before the jury as witnesses.
It is remembered in this connection that
when some intimations wero made in an af-
ternoon paper hero Mayor Paddock replied
over his own signature, saying that if thero
had been any wrong the guilty parties ought
to bo punished and he hoped the grand jury
would investigate the whole subject. It
understood that tho waterworks also court the
fullest investigation.
Reports of Storms.
Yesterday it was Wichita Falls whioh had
been swept off of the faco of the map by
cyclone and that having been provon utterly
false it was Bowie to day. Somebody started
the report around the hotels and it spread to
the streots and a great many mouths wore
passing it along and contributing their mite
to its volume as they passed it. At the Den-
ver offices it was said that this too was out of
the whole cloth. There had been no storm at
Bowie, not even a rain. All along the line the
weather yesterday, last night and to-day was
reported as calm and peaceful.
Town Site Company Organised.
J. M. Knox of Lincoln, Neb., has organized
a company to purchase town si-es along the
Rock Island railroad in Texas and develop
thorn. It is also the object of tho company to
promote and encourage fruit growing and
truck farming wherever desirable land for
such purposes cau bo found. The officers of

naries and tho scheme will bo iu full opora-
t.on in a short whilo.

wolves, but caught only the other young
ones, the old wolves making their escape,

Among the Editors,
Will Neel of the Dublin Leader said to a
News reporter: *4My town was the first to
respond to tho call of the Cisco sufferers. Be-
sides the $8'J0 iu ca-<h, Dublin sent a carload
of provisions and clothing that went forth in
less than twenty-four hours after the cyclone
swept Cisco away. Besides this Dublin sent
fifty carpenters, who worked a week free and
have been kept there since then and paid by
tho Dublin people. It sent ten men besides
with them, who did other work, such as police
duty, etc. The value of provisions, clothing
and the work of these fifty carpenters, with
the SeliO cash, will foot up at least $2000."

Waldo to Retire,
It is stated that First Vice President Walda
of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas will sever
his connection with that company before tha
close of tho present month.
The Globe-Democrat says : Mr. Waldo ad-
mitted last evening that ho would retire from
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas company at
the expiration of his term of oflice, May 17.
He did not wish to say anything more. When
asked as to his plans for the future he replied
that he would tirst seek to recover his health,
which has beon very indifferent for several
months past. He recently purchased a hand-
some home iu St. Louis and will continue to
reside here. The annual meeting of the Mis-
souri, Kansas and Texas company takes place
next W ednesday at Parsons, Kan., and soon
alter the organization of the new board the
announcement of a successor to Mr. Waldo
will probably be made.
The Southwestern Rate Meeting.
The Globe-Democrat on May 11 says: The
Southwestern traffic association reconvened
at the Southern hotel yesterday and took up
matters affecting Texas freight rates in ac-
cordance with the understanding to restore
tariffs reached on Tuesday. But little was
accomplished in that direction, it being
deemed advisable to first canvass the rate
situation iu a general way, and the entire day
was consumed mapping out the work in de-
tail. In addition to the discussioii upon spe-
cific commodity rates, the association has yefc
to dispose of a largo general docket, some of
the subjects upon which are of tho highest im-
portance. The meeting will undoubtedly con-
tinue during tho remainder of this week. The
reorganization agreement has been submitted
for the signatures of the interested lines.
