A PROPOSITION.
This morning a News correspondent met
Hon. 11. II. II. Sorrell of Wharton county,
one of her prominent planters and a lead-
ins member of tho Texas Susnr Planters'
association. IIo had just arrived in tho
.city on a Bliort business visit. Tho meet-
Jess of tho Sugar Planters' association wero
brought up in conversation, and Mr. Sor-
rell stated that as the association was a
Texas institution and appreciated the sup-
port and indorsement of all good Texans,
,Lo thought ho would suggest for tho con-
eideration of the next meeting that the first
or second following meeting bo held at
iFort Worth, which timo being coincident
Itho tlmo of the spring palace, would ba
agreeable to the members and likely enlist
the interest of many enterprising and in-
terested citizens in that part of tho state.
The effect would be to extend tho member-
ship and strengthen the influence of tho
association, a great desideratum in accom-
plishing much of the earliest work of tho
association. The gentleman ovidently had
Siveu the matter considerable thought, and
mentioned other advantages that might ac-
crue from the step, with clearly no disad-
vantages in sight. While ho intended to
bring this matter ud, it would be merely to
get it before the association that their de-
cision could be had.
HOUSTON'S NEW BAND.
The efforts of a number of young men of
this city to secure the organization of a new
brass bund, after many days, aro now near
tho goal of success. The desired number of
men have been secured, and the formation
■will bo completed at a meeting to ba held
next Sunday forenoon. Frank Herb, the
well known young musical artist, will take
the leadership and general control of tho
band, which will be known as Herb's Light
Guard baud. In this particular, those who
bavo been interesting themselves are very
fortunate, as they have not only an ablo
artist and director, but a man suited in all
respects to come in contact with this peonlo,
jvho have known him most favorably
since his sojourn among them. Arrange-
ment;: for their uniforms have already been
made, and it will not be long after the or-
ganizing meeting before they will be out in
full rig. Their initial rehearsal will bo at
the first meeting, and a number of patrons
have been invited to bo present. It is ex-
pected that they will furnish a rich musical
treat during the coming summer nights.
Another solo cornotist of high standing in
the profession will be an entirely new and a
■greatly valued addition. The membership
will include fifteen mon, but with tho prac-
ticing they oxpeot to undergo their worth
■will be equal to about twenty. Such a
band, one that is identified with this peo-
ple, has been long needed hero.
COUNT OF MONTE ClilSTO.
This evening for the second performance
alargc crowd greeted James O'Neill and his
company in ths presentation of that mag-
nificent drama, Count of Monte Cristo.
The audience were as well pleased as tho
most delighted Houston has furnished dur-
ing the season. Of course Mr. O'Neill was
' almost grand in his impersonation of
■Dumas' marvelous hero, and by liis superb
work added many to his largo list of ad-
mirers hero. There can hardly be criticism
of his work, unless perhaps concerning the
rapidity of expression used by him at times.
Of course impassioned utterances aro to bo
done at times With great quickness, but
on the stage never so ouick as to strangle
>*jBiearness to an extent that will defeat being
■mnderstood by the auditors. Tills was the
base more than once in each performance.
Another queer bit of expression coinos when
the sword duel takes place and Monte Cris-
to is to do the killing. Ho says, addressing
his foe, "You are a dead man," and does it
with a tone that invariably creates laugh-
ter. It may bo all right, but seems to bo
"out of place. Mr. O'Neill is a great actor
and Houston always will give him big
bouses. His company is good and tho set-
tings are gorgeous.

keeping with the whirl.
The grand whirl of progress that is now
•weeping over the city seems to be carrying
all things along with it. The Waterworks
company is now coming to the front lino
by a movement to place ten miles more of
pipe throughout tho city to meet the needs
of the growing population and their con-
stantly increasing demand. Shipments
from New York have already been com-
menced, and as soon as the pipe begins to
arrive the work of laying it will begin. Tho
ire fighting facilities of the city also need
enlargement in this respect, and doubtless
ft large number of hydrants will bo added.
KICKED IN THE BREAST.
Mr. G. T. Gallagher, a well known citizen
Of the Fifth ward, had a piece of bad luck
this evening. He was driving on a rock
paved portion of Main stroet when his horse
slipoed and fell. He leaped out and was
trying to get the animal on its feet. The
horse got up but rose kicking, and
the first drive with its heels seat
the gentleman with great force to tho
f round, striking him squarely in tho breast.
'orlunatciy the animal's reach was not
great enough to inflict serious harm, but
just right for a knock-down. As the gen-
tleman 1-030 some follow on tho sidewalk
called "time," and tho horse got oven by
knocking tho buggy clear out. There was
considerable damage in dollars and cents.
COUNTY ROADS.
James B. Porkins, managing tho work of
improving tho public roads of tho county,
was in tho city to-day from his camp east of
tbo Fifth ward. Ilo reports that the recent
rains havo made tho ground in that section
so wet as not to be workable at present, but
when they start they will be hotter prepared
than ever and will push more rapidly ahead.
While hero ho purchased six fine mulos that
will be put to work at once.
A MUSICAL EVENING.
The homo of Dr. Rutherford, in tho Third
ward, was the scene of a delightful social
gathering last evening. Through tho charm-
ing members of the household and the small
party of select and talented musical friends
who were present tho affair was made rich-
ly enjoyable with musical features. Briolly
put, it was a delightful homo evening.

CRONIN SUSPECT CAUGHT
IT IS THOUGHT THAT THE MYSTERY
WILL BE CLEARED UP.
Tho Capture in St. I.on!s of a Man Supposed
to lie Smith, Who Drove Dr. Cronln
In a Bugsy to tho Carl-
son Cottage.
Chicago, 111., Fob. 18.—A morning paper
says; Patrick Cooney, the Fox, was cap-
tured last night at Hancock, Mich. Officer
John C. Collins, who has known him for
years, will return with him to-day. Coonoy
loft the city the day Dr. Cronin's remains
were laid away in Calvary, and has eludod
tho police ever since. Tho basis for the
story comes from a dispatcli received by
Chief Marsh last night. It read: "We have
our man sure. Send a man for Identifica-
tion." All the police officials were unusual-
ly reticent this morning, and refused to say
whether or not the man under arrost was
was the long sought Cooney, or to give any
information as to tho capturo. However,
from a man who had charge of one branch
of tho case a reporter succeeded in getting
somo facts.
"The man," ho salt', "is not Cooney, but
a follow who was in the Cronin conspiracy,
and whose arrest, if it has been effected,
may be regarded as of tbo highest import-
ance. It is now said that the man is an
oven more important personage us far ao
the state is concerned than Coonoy. That
arrest was made in St. Louis at 6 o'clock
last night by Officer Thomas of this city,
who has been shadowing the suspect, and
it promises to result in a complete un-
raveling of the Cronin mystery."
THE ST. LOUIS POLICE
VERT RETICENT.
St. Louis, Mo,, Feb. is.—In respect to the
reported urrcst hero last night of men inti-
mately connected with the Cronin murder,
the only thing that can bo ascertained from
tho police authorities is that a man has
been oipturcd, and is hold for identification
by the Chicago officers. Further than this
the police will say, at this writing, abso-
lutely nothing. The mnn's namo can not
be learned, arid no information from other
sources than the police has yet been ascer-
tained. Nor is it known outside of police
circles whether anybodv, officer or civilian,
has arrived here from Chicago to ideutify
tho person arrested.
THE MAN'S NAME.
J. B. KELLY.
St. Louts. Mo.,Feb. 18.— Detective Thomas
of Chicago made an important arrest in St.
Louis last night. Tho arrest was made at
10 p. m., but the fact did not leak out until
this morning. When it became known that
tho arrest meant that the mystery surround-
ing the murder of Dr. Cronin could bo com-
pletely cleared up by tho man undor arrest,
provided he proved to bo the proper party
and would confess, thero was a great sensa-
tion.
It was at first thought that tho suspcct
must be Cooney, the Fox. but later on it
was learned that the prisoner was supposed
to be Smith, Dan Coughlin's friend, who
drove the buggy in which Dr. Cronin was
conveyed from his home to the Carlson cot-
tage to be murdered. The prisoner gave the
name of J. B. Kelly, admittod that he was
the mau for whom tho Chicago authorities
have been looking for some timo, but denied
that lie was Smith, and further denied all
complicity in tho murder.
Dotective Thomas stated that his prisoner
was known in Chicago as J. B. Kelly, but.
was the man supposed to have been known
as Smith In tho Cronin orirno. Dotective
Thomas had a long talk with the suspect
this afternoon, and when ho emerged from
the ceil he said that while his prisoner so
stoutly denied being Dan Coughlin's friend
Smith, he was surd he had tho right man.
Ho had been watching him for threoor four
weeks.
"We shall have positive identification as
soon us the man can get hero from Chi-
cago," ho said.
Late this afternoon reporters were ad-
mitted to tho prisoner's cell to interview
him. When broughtoutby Captain Yonmi
the prisonerappeared dazed and bewildered.
When asked why he had been arrested he
surlily responded: "Do you know why?"
"No," was the reply.
"Then I won't tell yon."
■'What is your i\aine?"
"J, B. KeQy and 1 am from Chicago."
When told that he was arrested ao a sus-
pect in the Cronin caso he said ho know
that.
At this juncture ho effected a careless air,
and said ho knew nothing about tho Cronin
case, and did not know any of tho partios
interested in it except Thomas Desmond of
San Francisco. Did not know Burke or
O'Sullivan, the iceman, Alexander Sulli-
van, Kunze, nor any of those tried for the
murder. He had never belongod to tho
Clan-na-Gael camp, and was not an active
Irish sympathizer, although of Irish parent-
age. He had not been in Chicago for sov-
eral months. Had been in St. Louis about
two weeks, and had been stopping at
Fourth and Christie aveuue. Detective
Thomas this afternoon recoived a telegram
from Chicago sta.ing that parties would be
here to-night to identify the prisoner.

WOMEN CRUSADERS.
Those nt f.athrop, Mo., Still Defiant—War-
rants to Eo Issued for Them.
St. Joseph, Mo., Feb. 18.—A telegram
from Lathrop, Mo., says: The prosecuting
attorney will more than likely commence
serving warrants on the women crusaders
to-day. They are still defiant, and their
husbands say bloodshed will follow the first
attempt at arrest. News from Plattsburg
says tnat the women thero are prepared to
clean that place of its saloons on account of
an 38-year-old boy being carried out of one
of the saloons Sunday night drunk. The
prosecuting attorney says ho will perform
his duty if tbo state militia has to be called
out to assist him. A gentleman from Cam-
eron states that the crusaders are going to
visit Camoron to morrow and Plattsburg
Thursday. Tho trouble at Spikardsville
has about cooled down and there are no
fears that anything further will bo done
there. m ^

HE KNOCKED TWO OUT.
A Little Custom-Ilouso ISrolter Castigates
Two Men In Short Order.
New York, Feb. 18.—[Special]—Blood
waE spilled iu large quantities ou the floor
of the rotunda of the custom house yester-
day afternoon. Robert J. Irwin, a custom-
house broker of 24 State street, was respon-
sible for a good deal of it. He Is a little
man in size but he is wiry and strong, and
he showed yesterday that ho knows full
well how to use his fists whon ho is com-
pelled to. Mr. Irwin whipped two
big men insido of ten minutes,
and while he was about it
there was grent cxcitement among tho
clerks and deputies. They viewed the bat-
tle from their high stools as it wont on iu
the middlo of f he lloor. Nobody tried to
stop the fight. There is a good deal of sport-
ing blood among ihoso who have business
in tho rotunda, and when it began there was
a universal expression of the wish: "May
the best man will."
The defeated ones were John Reagain, a
200-pounder, who was formerly a porter
for C. N. Kippin & Co., but who is now a
sort of runner for the lawyers about tho
custom-house, and a lawyer whoso name it
was impossible to ascertain, but was on
business for Lamanita & Co. Tho lawyer
and Ueagain wore engaged in conversation
with Deputy Collector Stanwood, a nephew
of James O. Blaino. They wanted to see
certain papors, which tho deputy collector
refused to show to thom. While they wero
talking Irwin came up to Mr. Stan wood's
desk. Irwin said he had boon imposed upon
by Lamanita & Co., and as ho stood thoro
thoir lawyer gave him a shove. It made Ir-
win mad and he said:
"You aie no better than your principals.
Don't you push me again."
But tho lawyer did push him, and Irwin
thereupon began operations. Ho struck
the lawyer fair on the nose. The lawyer's
glasses w--re smashed and tho blood spurted.
Irwin was preparing for another blow,
when ho recoived ono himsolt under the ear
that staggered him. Ileagain had hit him,
Thon Mr. Irwin gathered himself together
and sailed into tho ox-porter.
He struck him undor the ovos and
cut the skin. The blood poured from the
cut as Reagian stumbled backward and fell.
When he arose Irwin gave him another
that also sent him reeling. His head struck
the marble floor and the proceeding for the
next few seconds interested him no more.
He was hustled off bleeding and unhappy to
a sido room. The lawyer had also disap-
peared. The first blow settled him.
Thon Irwin stood alono a victor. Irwin
said after tho fight that he was sorry It had
occurred, but he was exasperated. He told
of his trouble with Lamanita & Co , which
had indirectly brought on tho row. On
February 8, he said, tho steamer Celtic
brought 200 cases of oranges, consigned to
Lamanita & Co. Irwin had boon doing
business for tho firm, and the same evening
Lamanita asked him to go the next morn-
ing to the custom-house and givo an indem-
nity bord for $700.
It is against tho treasury regulations for
brokers to give bonds if bankers havo al-
ready advanced money on tho bill of lading.
Irwin insists, however, that Lamanita led
him to believo that thero was no bill of
lading. So ho gave the bond. On Febru-
arys, Kidder, Peabody & Co., put in aclalm
for tho money they had advanced on the
draft which accompanied tho bill of lading.
The collector sent for lrwiu and held him
for 8447 84, which ho paid rather than be
suspended. Then he says Lamanita & Co.
offered to settle with him for $211.
Irwin thon tried to obtain the goods but
could not, and ho has brought suit against
Lamanita & Co. So when the lawyer
shoved him all his wrongs rose up before
him, and he could not restrain himself.

When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria.
When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria.
When she had Children, she gave them Castoria.

FASHIONABLE SOCIETY.
Tho trying ordonls which fnshionablo soci-
ety imposes en ita devotees are enough to
severely test the physical strength and en-
durance of the most robust.. Irregular and
late hours, over-rich and indigestible food,
late suppers, tho fatigue of the ball-room,
t,lie bad air of tho illy-ventilated, over-
crowded theatre, ore each, in themselves,
sufficient to upset tho system and ruin tho
health of tho delicate and sensitive. Com-
bined, they can hardly fail, if persisted in,
to seriously impair the health of tho hardi-
est. Ladies generally possess less powers of
endurance than their male consorts, and so
tho sooner succumb to these deleterious in-
fluences. Thoy become pale, haggard mid
debilitated, and constantly exixsrienea a
sense of lassitude—that "tired ieeling,-' as
so many express it. Tho least exertion
fatigues them. Various neuralgic anil othor
pains harrass and distress tho sufferer.
Headache, backache, "bearing-down" sen-
sations, and "female weaknesses" follow
ami sorely offlict tho sufferer.
As an invigorating, restorative tonic,
soothing cordial and bracing nervine, for
debilitated and feeble women generally,
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription lias no
equal. In fnet, it is the only medicine fop
tho peculiar weaknesses and ailments inci-
dent fo females, sold by druggists, under a
positive gnurmitee from its manufactur-
ers, that it will, in every case, give satisfac-
tion or its prico ($1.00) will be promptly
refunded. It improvos digestion, invigorates
tho system, enriches tho Blood, dispels aches
and pains, produces refreshing sleep, dispels
melancholy and nervousness, and builds up
both tho flesh and strength of thoso re-
duced below n healthy standard. It i3 a
legitimate merficinc —not a beverage. Con-
tains no alcohol to inebriate ; no syrup or
sugar to sour or ferment in the stomach and
cause distress. It is as peculiar iu its corn-
position as it is marvelous in its remedial
results. Therefore, don't lie put off with
some worthless compound easily, but dis-
honestly, recommended to be " just as good,"
that the dealer may mako more profit, " Fa-
vorite Prescription" is ineoniparabtc. Tho
manufacturers' unprecedented offer to gv.ar-
a.itce satisfaction in every caso, or money
refunded, ought »to convince every invalia
of this fact. A Book, on Woman's Ailments,
and their Self-cure (100 pages), sent under
