Harrisburg, Penn,, August 22.— .
Governor Beaver to-night issued a
proclamation to the people of the
State bespeaking their co-operation
in the Centenial Constitutional cele-
bration next month He also sug-
gested that sermons qf appropriate
thanksgiving for our liberties be
preached in all churches on the Sun-

What has a governor of a state,
in his official capacity, to do with
prescribing or even suggesting re-
ligious ceremonies of any kind ? Be-
tween church and state in these
United States a great gulf is fixed
by the constitution. The patriot,
Thomas Jefferson, recognized this
very clearly, and during the two
terms he was chief executive of the
Republic refused to issue a Thanks-
giving proclamation, because it was
a religious and not a civil matter.
For a similar reason Governor Rob-
erts of this state declined to call up-
on the people of Texas to pray for
the recovery of President Garfield,
remarking that, as governor, it was
not his business to instruct the peo-
ple as to their religious duties—he
lett that to the clergy.

Henry Waterson made a few re-
marks before the New York Press
Association a few days ago, and
among other pertinent things said :
“My own experience in our craft has
been that there is but one avenue to
successm journalism, that there is
but on* enterprise in journalism, but
one sensation which all journalists
are striving after, and that is—sim-
ply to tell the truth a little in ad-
vance of anybody else.”

An accident of rather serious moment
occured Tuesday at the ciossingof Arm-
strong avenue and the Missouri Pacific
railway. A Mr. liean, who lives near
the Boulevard, and who might have been
seen in the city frequently of late with
loads of melions, and accompanied by his
small children, came to town Tuesday
forenoon leaving, for ttie first time in
many trips, his children behind him. It
was well for the children that he did this
as the sequel will show. In returning
home he stopped his team in front ot
Parish’s grocery, and leaving them
luntied went into the store to make a pur-
chase. The team started on towards the
track when the north bound passenger
train suddenly rounding a sharp curve
struck the wagon and team amidship,
breaking the former into kindling wood,
and landing the latter in a mutilated
condition in the ditch. The breaks were
applied and the train brought to a stand,
but the mischief had already been ac-
complished. The wagon was a total
wreck, and the horses will probably die.
This is bad enough, but had the little
children been in the wagon the conse-
quences of the accident would have been
too horrible to be described. So far as
the train men were concerned the accident
was unavoidable, as the sharp curve and
the tact that a high board fence is built
near the track trom the avenue west ren-
dered it impossible for the engineer to see
the team until they were within a few feet
of them.

Arrested, Jailed and Liberated.
A FULL EXPOSE OF THE CASE.
The arrest ot Mr. S. L. Trum-
bull in this city on Saturday night
20th inst., by Sheriff W. T. Gunn
of Lamar county, occasioned a de-
gree ot surprise that amounted to
consternation. The gentleman had
lived here for the past four years,
moving about like other citizens,
making no effort to shun publicity
and having no one to charge him
with a misdemeanor of any kind.
People were at first amazed, then
incredulous and finally, when the
case became known, indignant that
an innocent man should be deprived
of his liberty on such flimsy evi-
dence as that on which Sheriff Gunn
had acted in making the arrest.
In order that the reader may un-
derstand this case in its entire de-
tails, we give below copies of all the
legal documents employed in word-
ing it up:
ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS REWARD.
Brvant B. Crandall formerly of Buffalo,
New York, of which the cut on the upper
right hand corner of this sheet is a good

count of his supposed death, about
April 1, 1SS6.

zens, who knew him well, in March 1887,
on the streets in Los Angelos, California.
The societies, whose names are sub-

to pay one thousand dollars *or the ap-
prehension and detection of the said

Monday! Beirne & Stenson.
As will be seen from the descrip-
rion of Cr&pdall contained in the
document offering $1,000 reward,
the man wanted is 5 feet 9 inches in
height. Mr. Trumbull is only 5 feet
3 inches high. Crandall’s weight is
put at 175 pounds, Mr. Trumbull
never has weighed over 135 pounds.
Crandall's figure is closely knit and
compact. Mr. Trumbull is of slight
physique. Crandall’s hair is stated,
in the description, to be quite gray-
on the temples; Mr. Trumbull has
no hair on the temples at all. Cran-
dall is said to be almost bald on the
crown ot his head; Mr. Taumbull
is quite bald all over the crown.
Crandall’s age is 45, that of Mr.
Trumbull 53 years. Crandall’s
nose is Roman, very high towards
the eyes—has been broken in his
childhood and is tu rned to one side
as a consequence. Mr. Trumbull’s
nose is aqueline, has never received
any injury and is as straight as that
organ well could be. Crandall
wears a No 9 boot, Mr. Trumbull
a No. 6. Crandall has an abnor-
mally high instep caused by a deep
cut from an axe, Mr. Trumbull’s in-
step is, if anything, rather low.
Crandall has a scar upon the right
foot caused by this cut, Mr. Trum-
bull has no such scar. Crandall is
an inveterate tobacco chewer, Mr.
Trumbull does not use tobacco in
any form. The crime charged
against Crandall was committed in
1S86, when Mr. Trumbull was in
this city to the knowledge of hun-
dreds of our citizens. Crandall
was seen and positively recognized
upon the streets of Los Angeles,
California, last March, when Mr.
Trumbull was known to be here i:i
Denison transacting business with
our people every day.
Had the sheriff of Lamar county
been charged to apprehend some
one answering a description diame-
trically the opposite of the one given
he could hardly have selected a bet-
ter man to arrest than the ane he
took into custody. Sheriff Gunn
must certainly have left his intelli-
gence at home when he started out
on this thief-catching expedition.
Had he been acting upon the dic-
tates of common sense he would
have accepted the proposition of his
prisoner and have satisfied himself
that he had the wrong man without
leaving Denison. It seems, how-
ever, that the only thing at that
time visible to the naked eye of the
sheriff was an alluring vision of one
thousand dollars reward, with no
consideration df who should suffer
for the crime so long as the golden
prize was attained.
Mr. Trumbull was arrested Sat-
urday night and taken to Paris,
where he was lodged in jail. On
Monday morning he filed papers for
a hebeas corpus trial which was set
to take place before Judge Scott at
Bonham on Saturday. Ou Tues-
day Colonel Stillwell H. Russell, of
this city, visited Paris and his pres-
ence in that city seems to have had
considerable effect upon the attitude
of the sheriff towards his prisoner.
Wednesday morning he invited Mr.
Trumbull out of jail up to his office
and asked him over to dinner and
extended all manrer of small civili
ties to the man he had erstwhile
compelled to sleep upon a felon’s
palet in an iron cage. On Wednes-
day afternoon he turned his supposed
defrauder of insurance companies
loose, not on his own recognizance
as our morning cotemporary stated,
but because he knew that he had the
wrong man and the apparition of a
suit for heavy damages began to rise
up before him, so that he didn't feel
comfortable in detaining him any
longer.
It is evident that the sheriff ot
Lamar county has, in this instance,
allowed-his cupidity to get consid-
erably the start of his intelligence,
and before the matter is settled he
will probably wish that he had made
a little closer investigation before
making this arrest. We are credit-
ably informed that Mr. Trumbull
will bring suit against Sheriff Gunn
for damages for false imprisonment.

tinued this week, at

Arrested for Theft.
A negro named Geo. Jones who
has lately been working at the Bon
Ton restaurant, but formerly at the
Denison Steam Laundry, was ar-
rested Friday evening about 6
o’clock for stealing money and dia-
monds from Mr. Flannedy, proprie-
tor of the laundry. Mr. Flannedy
changed his pants at the laundry
one day about two w-eeks ago, and
in doing so forgot to remove his
purse from the pocket of the cast off
garment. The purse contained a
$10 note and a set of diamond shirt
studs, valued at $60. The next day
he looked in the pants pockets for
the purse but found it mi sing. Mr.
Flannedy’s suspicions fell upon
Jones who was working there at the
time; but he said nothing, content-
ing himself with watching him.
Jones left the laundry and went to
work for the Bon Ton restaurant,
and shortly afterwards the diamonds
were pawned by him for $5 50 at
Ben Merrill's. This act fastened
the theft on him with sufficient cer-
tainty, and he was arrested and
lodged in jail, where he now is.
THE ALLIAIOE WL
The business men of Fort Worth,
Dallas and other live cities are be-
stirring themselves to secure Alliance
cotton mills in their respective
towns, vieing with each other who
shall contribute the most liberally
towards these important enterprises.
Why is it that the moneyed men Of
Denison are so lukewarm ? At the
Alliance meeting held here over a
week ago, a resolution was adopted
to build a mill at Denison this fall if
the Denison people would extend
the enterprise reasonable financial
encouragement. The Denison In-
vestment company have tendered all
the land needed for the factory,
warehouses, etc., and resident lots
for the employes, but what have the
other citizens of Denison offered?
Nothing, so fas as the Gazetteer
is able to learn. Indeed, members
of the Alliance who have taken the
ibm* '"*»«•*• in rettinff a rr.yft Ideat-
ed here, sav they have been unable
to get a committee of citizens to go
around among the people and see
what they will do towards encour-
aging the enterprise—they all ex-
pressed themselves as too busy. It
is to be feared our business men and
property holders do not realize the
importance of a cotton factory to
Denison, and possibly they will not,
until a neighboring town secures it—
then they will realize what they have
let slip through their fingers, for
want of a little exertion. The
Gazetteer suggests a citizens’
meeting be called to consider this
proposition made by the Alliance.
They are certainly entitled to that
much consideration.

Democrats and Republicans Units
Against Prohibition.
Des Moines, Iowa, August 20.—
A mass meeting of the anti-prohibi-
tion republicans was held last night to
nominate independent candidates for
the legislature. About 125 well
known republicans participated. One
of the leading republicans of the city,
and Adam Baker, alderman at large
in the city council, were nominated,
as legislative candidates on a plat-
form pledged to support all republi-
can principles except prohibition, to
vote for republicans for the United
States senate, to support the repeal
of prohibition and the enactment of
local option and high license laws.
Some 700 republican names are sign-
ed to the pledge to support these
nominees. It is said the democrats
will ratify the ticket.

‘•HO ALTERNATIVE."
Mr. Throckmorton Says There Is No Al-
ternative Bnt to Insert an Anti-
Prohibition Plank.
McKinney, Tex. Aug. 19, ’87.
To the Editor of the Gazette:
Dear Sir :—In answer to your re-
cent favor I have to say that the
national Democratic platforms in
several past Presidential canvasses
have declared against sumptuary
legislation. It was intended (and it
seems to me that every intelligent
Democrat must know the fact) to
commit the party in opposition to
prohibition. The Prohibition party-
arraigned the Democracy for this
opposition, and our leaders never
denied the charge. The question
having been brought directly home
to the people of Texas, the convic-
tion is forced upon me that there is
no alternative but to insert a plank
in the next state Democratic platform
unequivocally against prohibition.
In making this suggestion I would
not be understood as wishing to read
or drive any one out of the party.
We are told prohibition has come to
stay. None are so blind as not to
know that there is now, and has
been for years, a national prohibi-
tion party, and that such party will
have a regular presidential ticket in
the field in the coming campaign—
not only so in respect to the nation,
but in every state in the Union.
Hence the imperative necessity for
plain and positive action on the sub-
ject. Should such action be had
there will be no excuse for charac-
terizing those who, from conscien-
tious convictions, believed prohibi-
tion to be both unwise and anti-
Democratic, as belonging to the
“Dolly Varden partyor, on the
other hand, accusing those who
favor prohibition as being recreant
to Democratic principles. All are
freemen, and the reading out, when
positive action is had, can be deter-
mined by each individual for him-
self. Very respectfully,
J. W. Throckmorton.

The Tariff is the South.
Baltimore Sun.
Some of the thoughtful minds of
the South know that the tariff is not
a Southern question, nor a sectional
question at all, but one which affects
the interests of sixty millions of peo-
ple ; that a high tariff does not pro-
tect American labor; that the high-
tariff man will employ labor, foreign

wisest course for tne people of the
South to pursue will be to promote
their industrial growth upon the
broad basis of the public good, make

The Divinity of Christ.
Editor Gazetteer:
I have written out my lecture in
reply to Professor Black’s sermon on
the “Divinity of Christ” and will
publish it in full in the September
issue of the Independent Pulpit.
Single copies will be furnished at
fifteen cents. Ten copies to one

lhat Lead Deposit.
The Sherman Courier says:
The report comes from Denison
that a valuable deposit ot lead ore
has been found near that place in
the Indian Territory. The early
settlers of Grayson county were sat-
isfied that a deposit of lead was near
at hand. They used to buy lead
from a half-breed Indian, who was
never absent but a few days when
sent after it. He guarded his secret
well, however, and they could never
fi nd out where he got it.
Mrs. Mary T. Everitt adopts this
method of contradicting the reports
that she has discontinued giving
vocal instruction and contemplates
leaving Denison. Neither is true;
and tor the information of new-
comers to Denison Mrs. Everitt pre-
sents some of the many flattering
testimonials she has received from
the most distinguished musicians of
New York, Boston and Chicago.
As proof of her ability to teach the
advanced grades in music and to
finish pupils as well as to lay the
foundation ot their musical educa-
tion, she desires to state that a pupil
who recently finished her course has
been advised by Mr. Robert Gold-
beck, who, as a musician, has no
superior on this continent, to pre-
pare a repertoire for concert playing.
testimonials.
New York, Sept. 21, ’85.
This is to certify that Mrs. Everitt
is a thoroughly educated and dis-
tinguished musician, pianist and
teacher. She has devoted a life
time to all that belongs to the art of
teaching and playing the piano, and
has been eminently successful with
her pupils. The undersigned be-
lieves that those who may engage
lessons with Mrs. Everitt will have
reason to congratulate themselves.

I take great pleasure in testifying
to the merits ot Mrs. Everitt as a
teacher. I can, in all sincerity,
recommend her as an excellent
teacher of piano, having had under
my instruction pupils taught previ-

hardly be excelled.

From the Honey Grove Herald.
There appears in this issue a reso-
lution adopted by the Grayson coun-
ty Alliance inviting the Alliances of
Cooke, Fannin, Lamar, and Red
River to unite with ^hem in the
building of a cotton fadtory at some
point within one of these counties.
The meeting is called for the first
Tuesday in October at the city of
Denison. Its results will be watched
with interest. If it is determined to
build then there will be a lively
scramble for the various towns and
cities in these several counties. If
the artesian well shall have been
completed and plenty of water secur-
ed by that time Honey Grove will
occupy a seat in the exchange and
bid lively on the plant. The Alli-
ance, through its co-operative meth-
ods is able to establish factories if
once they reach that determination.
This meeting should receive the
encouragement its importance merits.
At this tirpe nothing definite could
be offered by any of the localities as
a bonus because it is not known how
extensive the Alliance proposes to
make the enterprise. On the other
hand the Alliance scarcely knows
what inducements may be given.
Each city that feels an interest in its
own prosperity should have a repre-
sentative in attendance upon the
Denison meeting. Should the pub-
lic desire a meeting to discuss the
matter let one be called. If not, the
Herald believes the present execu-
tive committee is authorized to act.
The following is the resolution re-
ferred to which was adopted at the
meeting at Bells last month.
Resolved, That we, the members
of the Grayson County Alliance, in
convention assembled, do hereby
recommend to the brethren of this
county, Cooke, Collin, Fannin, Red
River, and all other counties which
may be interested, that committees
from the Alliances of the different
counties named do meet in the city
of Denison on the 1st Tuesday in
October, to consider propositions
that may be made by Denison and
other cities, with reference to the
erection of cotton mills or other
manufactories, to manufacture our
home products in our home counties
or cities. J. B- Jerngin,

POTTSBORO. Aug. 33, ’87.
Editor Gazetteer:
There was one of the most out-
rageous and uncalled for arrests
made in this place a few days ago,
that was ever heard of in any com-
munity. The circumstances are
as follows:
Mr. R. L. McIntyre, h young man
who attends Dr. David Gardner’s
drug store in this place, sold a man
a bottle of varnish and while it was
sitting on the counter Mr. James H.
Cummins came in and picked it up,
and invited William Purcell, a strong
prohib and Methodist, to have a
drink with him. This insulted Mr.
P’s dignity so much that he flew into
a rage and going around the town,
told several ot his profession of the
awful transaction, and that some-
thing must be done, and that very
quickly,or the town wouid be ruined.
One of the councilmcn Sallied forth
in quest of the mayor, but by this
this time the tale had magnified and
another party was accused of drink-
ing in the drug store against the
peace and dignity ot the town,
although this second party had not
left his own house.
The mayor, armed with the law,
but without a warrant, proceeded to
the drug store and told the young
man of his violation and that he, the
the mayor ( ohn C. Leatherwood,)
wouid have to arrest him, but would
put a guard over him until he went
back to his office and wrote out a
bond ; which was done, and a strict
guard kept over him until the mayor
returned with an instrument of
writing that did not give the ac-
cused’s full name, neither the charges
or accusers; but after it was recti-
fied the accused gave the bond to ap-
pear before his honor at 9 a. rri. the
next morning. During the day the
mayor and councilmen discovered
that they had their foot in a trap, as
they had no ordinance in regard to
selling whisky in a local option town,
and released the young man to go
his way rejoicing. But they will not
get off so easily, as there is some
more law on the same subject, and
they may get into as much difficulty
as the last mayor did for carrying
and using a pistol.
But it all goes to prove what kind
ot government we would have if
that class of people had the power,
for the mayor and councilmen are
prohibs and Methodists combined,
and a majority of the town are the
same, but the box and precinct both
gave an anti majority.
Dr. Gardner has lived heie for a
long time and conducted his busi-
ness legitimately and within the
strict letter of the law, and is a gen-
tleman in every sense of the word.
YVe regretted parting with him and
family, but he still continues his
drug store here, and would put no
one in charge of it who would not
conduct it on the same principles he
would himself. Denison has gained
a good citizen and good druggist,
but Pottsboro was too slow a place
for a man of his energies and talent.
The town is dead on account of
local option, and some wouid like to
run every one out of it who disagree
with them. But Dr. Gardner has a
host of friends here and in the com-
munity and his business will in-
crease rather than decrease on ac-
count of this scandal. It is the way
With most small towns where the
people have nothing to do but gossip,
tor they get into the habit of attend-
ing to everybody’s business but their
own, and know every morning what
their neighbors had for breakfast.

rapidly arriving. It is the ambition
of the management that nothing
shall remain to be packed up, a*
caitying goods over is something

do. Therefore, during the next six
days the contents of each and every
department will be put to the
slaughter and bargains given to the
good people of Denison, North
Texas and the Indian Territory such
as will make the week one of the
most memorable in the cor.mercia!
history of the city.

ferent departments will be subject
to the grsnd reductions which will
be made upon every article of sum-
mer goods in the building. Men’s,
youth’s, boys’ and children’s sum-
mer clothing, men’s summer fur-
nishing goods, straw hats, neck

eries, hosiery, ribbons, buttons, cor-
sets, notions. Men’s, boys’ and
youths’, ladies’, misses’ and chil-
dren's fine shoes; all will be thrown
open to the great purchasing public
and will be subject to the same
sweeping reductions.
Those in need ot goods, or who
appreciate the advantages that exist
in laying in an outfit when th* price
is low. will not fail to visit the Star
•Store this week while it is yet time.
On Saturday, September 3, this
grand clearing sale comes to an end
and everything remaining unsold
will be set aside to make room for

stock of fall goods ever brought to
North Texas. This week will be a
red letter time at the Star Store.
