Montreal, Oct. 20—Ambrose Cho-
quet, of Rochester, N. Y., who has been
mentioned as taking a prominent part in
the action to release Louis Riel, is a
member of the American bar. He form
ei ly was a resident of Montreal. Some
time ago Choquet was iufromed by L. O
Dayi'], of this city, an intimate friend of
President Cleveland, he was promised o:i
behalf of the chief magistrate that as
soon as the naturalization papers of the
half-breed leader were produced, an
effort to persuade the Dominion author!
tie^ to hold a new trial and appoint a
medical commission would be made.
Mr. David, it is asserted, lately obtained
the necessary papers and forwarded them
to Choquet.
A Defaulting Clerk
Providence. R. I., Oct. 30.—Clerk
Edward F. Reed, accused of appropriat
ing funds belonging: to the Providence
and Stoniugton steamship company, has
not yet been apprehended. No traces of
his whereabouts hare been ascertained.
A continued examination of the books by
Mr. Z. Williams, the agent of the com-
pany, reveals a further shortage of #400,
which makes the sum total a trifle over
$*2000. Verifying estimates are given.
Mr. Williams shortly after the theft dis-
covered a letter to his wife, in which he
confessed the crime. Taking extra
clothing, he took his departure for parts
unknown on Monday morniog, together
with an extra $100^ drawn from the hank
on Saturday, pay day. This points to a
deliberate plan on Reed's part to rob the
company.
The Jlmuioo Coal.
Lkrdo, Mexico, Oct. 20.—Much inter-
est is manifested In the discovery «f hard
coal near Jimulco, in the state of Duran-
go. It is thought the coal will turn out
to be equal to Pennsylvania anthpacite.
It is being carefully examined and as-
sayed, and if it meets the expectations of
the Mexican Central railroad people,near
whose line it has been foarrtt,it will,to use
the words of Mr. Cleveland, fuel agent of
the railroad, be a gold mine for the Mex-
ican Ontrnl. All their coal comes now
from the United States. But if this
serves the purpose, it will not only sup-
ply their locomotives and shops with
fuel, but they can afford to mine the coal
and sell it, thus making considerable
business for themselves.

An Offensive Partlzan Bounced.
Fort worth, Oct. 20.—Captain Field,
the newly appointed postmaster here, in
an interview with the Mail reporter says:
' fell the people I will make the best
postmaster Fort Worth ever had." Cap
tain Field'8 record as a live and sympa-
thetic business man certainly warrants
his assertion. The preseut incumbent's,
Mrs. Burchill's, reign of power ends on
the 20th instant. She went to Washing-
ton to catch on a second term, but the
democratic bouncer 3aid no. She is a
good republican woman, takes good care
of her husband, but is unfit for a post-
office commander of a city the size of
Fort Worth.
An Example for SI Paso.
Fori Smith, Ark., Oct 20.—The most
successful and satisfactory fair, financi-
ally and otherwise, ever held in Arkansas
closed here the other day. During the
entire rive days the most perfect order
was maintained and visitors from
abroad were lavish in their praises ot
Fort Smith, her people and tlieir fairs.
The fruit display was the most magnifi-
cent ever seen, far surpassing the display
at St. Louis or New Orleans. The dis-
plays iu all other departments were very
creditable, The first premium on cotton,
6100, was taken by a farmer named Tan-
kard, residing nenr the city,. notwith-
standing the bale that took the first
premium on Arkansas cotton at the St.
Louis fair was in the contest. Among
the visitors present was United States
Senator Berry of this state. Most of the
fruit and produce display will be sent to
New Orleans.

The Young Train Robber.
Weatherford, Tex., Oct. 20.—Capt.
W. F. Martin and T. A. Weed, deputy
United States marshals, took the stage
for Graham the day befoie yesterday,
carrying with them six United States
prisoners to attend the federal court,
which opened at Graham last Monday,
One of the prisoners, was the youtiiful
stage robber, Jesse Jones, who robbed
the stuges betw een Cisco and Brownwood
and Abilene and San Angelo some time
ago, and was arrested a short time since
by a drummer and conductor between
here and El Paso. When Jesse saw the
paper-mail bags put into the stage this
morning he remarked that they
were not mail sacks, said he had
handled some recently and they were not
like that, but when the letter bags were
brought out of the post oflice he said:
"There, that looks like mail bags; I am
acquainted with them." He said : "Those
that I cut open were lull of letters, but
didn't have a d—d bit of money in
them." The young man says it is a bad
idea to take the train after committing a
crime; he said if he ever got out of the
scrape and did any oiher stealing or rob-
bing, he will never take the train. He
seemed to be quite jolly and talked very
freely about the robberies and did not
deny the charge at all.

October's starlit sky present* one prom-
inent subject for observation and study.
It is (he perihelion of Saturn. This long
expected epoch takes place this morning
at 7 o'clock. It is twenty-nine and a
half years since the oecunenee of a simi-
lar event, and during that time Saturn
has traveled more 5,000,000,000 miles,and
now looks the sun in the face from a
standpoint 100,000,000 miles nearer to the
central orb than when, fifteen years ago,
he passed aphelion, or the most distant
pot tit from the sun. Fortunately,
at the same time, the earth
approaches a point where her small orb
is almost between the sun and Saturn,
and profits largely by the proximity. The
Increased size aud clearer radiance bear
testimony to the nearer neighborhood of
the ring-girdled planet. But it is almost
absurd to speak of the nearness of au
object whose mean distance from the sun
is 881,000,000 miles. We are at sea with-
out a pilot, in seeking to comprehend di-
mensions where a million miles is the
measuring unit. We can, however, see
results in the beauty and brightness Of a
planet that fifteen years hence will
slnne with a dull marky light, iu stick-
ing contrast with his present serene as-
pect. Astrouomers who make Saturnian
investigations a specialty will gladly im-
prove the favorable conditions. It will
not be unexpected if they find out whether
the dark spaces between the rings are
merely shadings in or between the my-
riad satellites that make them up, or even
If a ninth moon should be found faintly
gleaming among its brethren.
Nearly a generation of those who now
tread the earth will sleep peacefully in its
bosom while this wonder of the skies
traverses the vast path that forms his cir
cuit round the sun. A generation of men
lives and dies in one Saturnian year!
Well may it be said that the study of as
tronomy promotes humility, teaching as
no other science can the insignificance of
humanity. For what is our earth,
with her one moon, by the
side of the peerless Saturn
with his complex array of rings, moons
and belts? The earth, however, has
reached her perfection of development,
while the primeval fires of Saturn ttill
burn. When animal life reigns on this
superb planet the earth will be a dead
world cooled down to tLs condition of
our satellite, where life and moisture
are uaknown. Mars a:sd Mercury will
probably succumb to the law of
inevitable decay before
Nellie Grant's Unhapplness.
Washington, Oct. 20.—The recently-
published reports of the permanent sepa
ratiouof Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartorls from
her husband caused Washington people
to remember how much astonished "and
disgusted they felt over the match. The
impression Sartoris made in Washington
was that of a rough, coarse-brained and
decidedly vulgar, low-bred Englishman.
His general coarse conduct, in connection
with the fact the he had exhibited some
of Miss Nellie's letters to hiin, accompa
nied with gross remarks, to persons In a
Wisconsin town where an accomplished
young lady had rejected his addressses,
caused solicitude among many of Gen
Grant's warm personal friends, and some
of them consulted as to the propriety of
informing him of Sqrtoris' conduct with
a view of regaining possession of Miss
Nellie's letters. Senator Matt Carpenter
finally consented to broach the delicate
subject to Gen. Grant. He called at the
White House,and in as delicate a mannci*
as possible commenced relating the cur
rent scaudal as to Sartorls' notorious
conduct, when the general quietly re-
marked: "That will do, senator; but my
daughter is engaged to Mr. Sartoris and
the wedding will take place." Senator
Carpenter, in speaking of the interview,
said he never felt so chagrined as at the
president's abrupt closing of the conver-
sation, and that he would never again,
under any circumstances, attempt to ad-
vise about the domestic affairs of any
one. It was well known that Gen. Grant
was opposed to the alliance, but when
his daughter's affections were engaged,
he acquiesced and would listen to no ar-
gument or suggestion to the contrary.

meanwhile the inhabitants of this little

process of world-tnaking on the larger
planets and the procesa of decay on the
smaller planets, while they wait patiently
for what is to come.

Persecution in China.
Washington, Oct. JO —A report has
been received by the secretary of state
from Consul Charles Seymour at Canton,
China, inclosing pamphlets issued by the
Shanghai and Hankow committees de-
scribing the persecution of christians in
China. Mr. Seymour says that the ma-
terial in the pamphlet is from the pens of
eminent American, English aud German
missionaries and is published with the
purpose of disseminating information
that may lead to better provisions be-
ing made by the western powers for pro-
tecting native christians from persecu-
tion iu China.
"The subject," he continues, "is one
of importance, and although such perse-
cution is clearly forbidden by treaty stip-
ulation, there seems to be no prescribed
manner for enforcing the prohibition or
for obtaining indemnity for losses sus-
tained by Its violation. 1 have tried to
avoid troubling the department with the
details of the many cases of trouble in
which missionaries from theUnited States
of America and Europe and their native
converts and co-r workers, native preach-
ers aud he'pers, have been involved in
this most turbulent consular district in
China or in the world, but haye labored
faithfully and somewhat successfully in
getting the difficulties adjusted as fairly
and quietly as possible.
The prosecutions of which the mission
aries complain comprise robbery or de-
struction of chapels; robbery, beating,
blackmailing and boycotting of native
Christians, often with the encouragement
of the local authorities, and the refusal
of the authorities to punish the offenders,
protect tne Christians or take measnres
to secure restitution. It I* not intended
to leave the impression that the Chinese
authorities have in every case been un-
willing to deal justly by native Christians.
On the contrary, the not infrequent aid
rendered by local officials in suppressing
outbreaks', is gratefully acknowledged.

The Hub and Bub-Race.
Mk. Editok.—In speaking of the tour-
nament of our lire department and the
fast time made at it, I notice that little
has so far been said about the hub aud hub
race, or rather the straightaway race be-
tween the two Hose Companies. The
best time made by Hose Company No.
1, was 211-S seeouds. This was the best
time ever made lathe state. As our ex-
pert firemen say that a ladder can be
raised in 6 seconds, this would make, if
No. 1 had run as a hook and ladder com-
pany, a record of 27 1-8 .seconds—bettor
than anything ever made In Texas.

Au Interesting Lecture.
The Pueblo Evening Star says: 'Rev.
J. Uiizler, D. D. and L. L. D., preached
yesterday to crowded houses both morn-
ing and evening at Corona Avenue'Meth-
odist church. He is a profound thinker,
a close reasoner and one of the most
scholarly and many sided theologians of
this or any other age. His diction is or-
nate, perspicuous, grand—superior to
that of Munsey aud equal to that of a
Bascom or a Pierce, but of an order en-
tirely his own. With an irresistible logic
and towering, soul-lifting eloquence, lie
carried his audience with him on every
proposition. In classical lore he Is en-
tirely at home. His memory Is remark-
able, encyclopedic, holding in its embrace
to be reproduced at will, even the minutiae
of historic, classic and scientific litera-
ture."
Rsv. Jacob Ditzler, I>, D., L. L. D.,
the gentleman alluded to above, is ex-

Riotous German* and Negroes.
Sax Antonio, Tex,Oct. 20.—A bloody
riot broke out among the German and
negro employes of the Lone Star Brew-
ery a day or two ago, in which two of
the former, named Huebner and Kramer,
were very seriously wounded about the
heads and bodies with pieces of iron pipe
and wooden scantling. The
fight was long aud furious
until some of the other employes pulled
pistols on the rietous negroes and tried to
hold them until the arrival of police
officers. This they were unable to do,
for two of the negroes broke loose and
escaped by swimming the riyer. Only
one, Jesse Evans, was arrested.
He was held on a cliarge of assault
with Intent to kill and'murder. The
cause of the battle was a dispute as to
whether or not the negro will be allowed
to drink beer out of the same glasses used
by the Germans. * The two wounded
men have been patched up, but are in a
critical condition. The negroes who a es-
caped are still In the brush.

Au El Paso special dispatch to the Globe-
Deraoorat made a slight mistake in the
time made at our late firemen's tourna-
ment. The Hook and Lidder company
made the run in seconds, and Hose
Company No. 2 in 41 seconds. Allowing
for the handicap agreed upon beforehand
this tiuie made the nook and Ladder
compauy victorious by a mere trifle of
time—say the twentieth part of a second.
Otherwise the Globe-Democrat dispatch
was correct.

We think a team could be selected from
El Paso's three fire companies that cotlld
safely compete with anything in the
state, in making fast time. It might be
advisable to make a combination of the
Hose and Hook aud Ladder teams, as
there is plenty of good material in all of
them to chose from.
We see there is quite a crowd of travel-
ers at the depots on the arrival and de-
parture of trains, and we predict that in
another month there will be a much
larger number of people coming and go-
ing. The hotels are nearly all full of
people now,and at the Grand Central more
room will be necessary soon, if there is
much increase in travel.

the other fire departments of the state.
