TUESDAY, SEPT. - • 4, 1888.

Orville Gardner,formerly a
a pugilist but lately an evangel-
ist, is dead.
— I 11... . ■ ... P
In St Louis last Sunday there
was more violation of the Sun
day law than at any time since
it has been in force.
The so-called prize fight be-
tween Slade and Mitchell about
which so much has been said in
the papers, is now declared off.
Judge Hoadly, of Ohio, hav-
ing become ill from over exer-
tion in the canvass has gone to
Philadelphia tor medical treat-
ment.
■
that never in the his-
tory of its section has there
been such a dispositon among
the old settlers to sell out and
move where there is more room.
Where a few years ago horses
and cattle roamed at large there
is now farms and- pastures; the
range is entirely cut off and the
farmers have to depend entirely
upon the farms for a support.
Old Texans would do well to
accommodate themselves to
the new order of things. They
will find themselves, in a few
years, fenced up as they are
here. Raising stock on the
range will soon be a thing of
the past.
The Texas and St. Louis
railway seems to be getting
more than its share of accidents
at present. The Tehuacana
bridge was burned on Sunday
last.
Mr L. C. Fisher writes a
letter to the Galveton News, in
which he asks, "Where is that
eighteen feet of water?" that
was promised on the 1st of
September.
Frank James ttstified in his
own behalf and told where he
had been; of course he was not
in Missouri when the robbery
and murder for which he is on
trial was committed.
W. W. Ross, correspondent
of the Department of Agricul-
ture, at Dallas, reports cotton
in that section as suffering from
several

The Houston Post very sen-
sibly declines being drawn into
a religious controversy with the
Pufpit, Mr. Shaw's paper. Life
is too short for a daily paper to
enter into a religious discussion,
which rarely result in any good.
Generally bad feeling is engen
dercd and both parties retire
from the controversy with opin
ions unchanged, unless perhaps
each party arrives at the con
elusion that the other is an in-
corrigible fool.
Cleburne seems to be a go-
ahead town, A #30,000 jail has
been built and next a #15,000
school house is to be erected.
It is not a flattering comment
on our civilization, progress
and advancement that our jails
should cost more than our
school houses, but it will be
found in most country towns
not only in Texas, but in other
states, that the jail has cost
more money than any single
school house.
The Corsicana Observer
found a genuine "moss back."
He was intelligent; said he be-
lieved in slavery and secession,
was opposed to public free
schools, railroads and all other
innovations and voted against
the amendments.
The drouth in East New
England, which has lasted five
or six weeks has become so
serious that the crops have been
greatly injured. Farmers are
compelled to take their cows
from their pastures and feed
them on winter hay.
. I —I! . »■
The special edition of the
Galveston News in addition to
its statistical tables contains a
great deal of information about
Texas and will be found espec-
ially valuable by those seeking
information about our state
and its capabilities.
Esau Smith, a negro, was
hanged at St. Joseph, Mo., last
Friday; he was convicted of
murder in October 1875, but
broke jail and was only lately
recaptured. He lived about
eight years more than he had
legal authority for doing.
The Corsicana Observer pro
poses issuing a daily edition on
and after the ijth inst. It also
proposes taking press dispatch-
es. Corsicana is a good town
but it will hardly support a pa-
per taking press dispatches;
they are very expensive.
Hon J. C. New, assistant sec-
retary of the treasury is about
to resign, He will return to In-
dianapolis to look after his
newspaper interests, and it may
be he will take an active part
on the republican side of the
coming presidential campaign.
-
The evidence in the Frank
James case on trial at Gallatin,
Mo., was concluded on Satur
day last. All who heard the
testimony admit that the state
has made a strong case against
him. The defense will urge
the bad character of the state's
witnesses. Very able counsel
is engaged on both sides.
It is said that twenty mil
lion trade dollars are in the
bank vaults and depositories in
New York, and that an effort
will be made to induce congress
to legalize this money or either
to make it a legal tender at its
face value. Most of those twen
ty million trade dollars have
been bought up by speculators
at 85 cents and a very nice
speculation would be made by
the purchasers.
The Jenkins brothers, Nec
and Ben, have been transfcrrec
from Mansfield to ShrevepoJt
where they are nominally in
jail. They have a nicely fur
nished room which they occupy
in the day time and receive
friends and visitors. They are
perfectly sane and have an eye
to comfort, yet when put on
trial they"will probably plead
emotional or some other kind
of insanity.
According to the ruling ol
the comptroler every physician,
sergeon and specialist, travel
ling from place to place to prac-
tice his profession, is required
to pay the state tax in every
county in which he practices.
The lawyers pay tax in only one
county and can practice in
every county in the state.
The September edition of
the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat issued on the] 1st inst. is
truly a mamoth paper, 22 pages.
The contets are varied and in-
teresting. A lengthy interview
with Governor Ireland is pub-
lished, in which the many ad-
vantages possessed by Texas
are fully set forth.
—la Victoria the cisterns are
all dry and river and well water
is all that can be had.
—Tht Austin bar passed the
usual resolutions of respect
over the death of Judge Moore.
— Gonzales ranks alongside
of her sister cities and has an
ice famine like San Antonio,
Dallas, and other places.
— A car load of coal oil was
burned at Temple the other
day. The gas in the car was
set on fire by the conductors
amp.
-Rev. J. K Street, in a pub-
ic address, gave his reasons for
withdrawing from the Methodist
church, last Sunday in the
courthouse at Waco.
— Dallas is having trouble
over cotton weighing. The
farmers want their cotton
weighed by the public weigh-
ers and the buyers refuse to
buy except by the weights of
their own weighers.
— One Col. Gregory, from
Calvert, put in an appearance
at Marshall and proceeded to
organize a colored militia com-
pany exacting $1 from each re-
cruit. He was made to relund
the money and "git."
— Bob Terrell and Will Tay-
lor, of the Cleburn neighbor-
hood, have been arrested on a
charge of stealing twenty three
head of cattle from a pasture.
When caught they were ship-
ping the cattle from Kopperl
station.
—A car load of California
flour arrived at Laredo the
other day, and notwithstanding
the distance is far greater than
St. Louis, it was sold cheaper
than the same grade of flour
from St. I/mil. Freights from
California are cheaper.
— The Smith case is still in
the courts at San Antonio. The
latest phase is an order of the
court requiring Mrs. Smith to
give possession of the dwelling
to her husband and also to sur
render the children to him. He
is ordered to pay her 550 per
month until the final decree o
the court is rendered.

The Fort Worth Gazette
writes a somewhat lengthy edi-
torial on the "Wire Fence Cut-
ters." It claims that the men
who are cutting the fences are
of that class known in Texas as
"squatters" and that they own
no land, but roam around with
the flocks and herds depredat-
ing on their bonafide land own-
ers.
