Here is a new version of the bug trick,
taken from the Mount Pleasant Patron:
A man at Denison who claimed to be a
spiritualist, stuck a large hug to the bot-
tom of a cup, and made it get up and
walk. The citizens were mystified and
amused for a time, but when the fraud
was found out, the sharper had to skip
out of town between two suns.
[Special to the News.]
Sherman, June 14.—The Schneider fire
investigation closed this afternoon, at
5:30 p. tn., the jury rendered a verdict
the substance of which is as follows: The
Schneider block was maliciously burned
by some unknown incendiary. The
Schneider Brothers were completely vin-
dicated, there being no testimony to show
that they were implicated in the matter.
Walter Forbes was arrested and gave
bonds for his appearance Monday when

The FIc-Nic Excursion.
Owing to the postponement of the pic-
nic excursion to the Little Blue, there
was not such a rush and turmoil on the
depot platform when the cars drew up at
about 9 o'clock Thursday morning. Two
coaches were, however, conveniently seat-
ed with happy picnicers, who enjoyed the
ride and cooling beverages furnished on
the train with a keen relish.
The train pulled up at the Little Blue
river about half-past ten, and the anxi-
ous throng were soon scattered through
the woods and gathered in little groups
on the banks of a beautiful lake close by.
As there was no-other means of amuse-
ment on the grounds, angling for trout in
the lake was generally resorted to by the
big, little, old and young.
The evening train, leaving Denison at
12 130 p. m , brought up more excursion-
ists, who helped to swell the merry groups
and make the time pass pleasantly.
C. R. Euper & Co., and Ed. Euper
dished up the ice cream, lemonade and
other refreshments in a business like man-
ner, and were kept on duty constantly up
to the very last.
The train left Little Blue for Denison at
4 p. in., arriving here at 5 .'30, with all on
board well satisfied with the day of recre-
ation and the amusements in the Nation.
Those who had the management of the
excursion deserve, and have the hearty
commendation of all who participated in
the festivities. Not a ripple or misunder-
standing of any kind occured to mar the
happiness of any.

In view of the f..ct that a very fatal dis-
ease very much resembling Asiatic chol-
era lias made its appearance in Mata-
moras and also Brownsville, Texas.about
the wisest thing the new Council could
do would be to have the streets cleaned
up, back alleys and out-houses purified,
indeed, the city generally thoroughly
cleaned.

The News was favored with a call
Thursday evening from Mr. Thomas
Connelly, who is travelling in our State
as correrpondent of the London Times.
We found Mi. Connelly to ue a social and
ntelligen* Irish gentlemen, who is pos-
sessed of a fund of valuable information
concerning our State, which cannot but
interest the thousands of readers of the
Times, and increase the tide of emigra-
tion to this State. He is delighted with
Texas.

It was conjectured on our streets belore
the election, that it' Major Grubbs should
be elected the Republicans would tele-
graph a grand Republican victory over
the country. Those conjectures have
been verified. Now, how much credit do
our Republican friends accord the many-
good Democrats who voted fur Maj.
Grubbs? Confine yourselves to the truth
gentlemen, and say you gained a victory
in which politics played a very small part.
Walter Forbes Arrested for Perjury.
A few moments before our going to
press, Walter '1'. Forbes was arrested tor
perjury on the affidavit of M. ScbneiJer.
The papers had all been arranged before-
hand and the arrest was made a few mo-
ments after Mr. Forbes signed his testi-
mony given before the jury of investiga-
tion. He is in charge ot Constable Logs-
den, but will probably give bond, and
have a hearing Monday.—Register.
A Mistake.
The Denison News, of the 9th Instant,
gives an account of the capture of two
thieves in that citv, one of whom, a man
named Monroe Hughes, it says, was “rec-
ognized as the man who shot and killed
the U. S. Deputy Marshal at Fort Worth
some time since.” Hughes did not kill a
man in tnis citv. He was followed from
this place b\ Air. Page, an ex-deputy til r-
shal, in company with the sheriff, for the
purpose ot recovering a stolen saddle,and
was overtaken about twelve milewe-t<,f|
thv citv. Hughes resisted arrest, firing
into the pursuing party and inflicting a
mortal wound on the peison ot Mr. Page,
who was brought back to the city, dying
from the effects of the wound in a few
da\s.
Fort Worth has a record that any city
might be proud of, only one man having
been killed here within the rec dlection of
the oldest inhabitant, and that in self-de-
lense.—Fort Worth Standard.

Two Koro Bono Thieve* Captured.
Thursday afternoon at freight train
No. 6 was about leaving, Deputy Sheriff
A- K. McCarty and Constable Spence
boarded it and arrested two men, charged
with horse stealing. Both prisoners
gave the name of Willis, though, strange
as it may seem, one of them is a negro
and the other an Indian. The officers
took fiom them two saddles and bridles,
three six shooters, two gallons ot whisky
and rations for an outfit of thieves in the
Nation. Just after the arrest a deputy
U. S. marshal from Colbert Station put
in his appearance and demanded their
deliverance to him, but they were locked
up in the city jail to await further devel-
opements. Week before last the prison
ers came to Denison and sold a horse.
They came in last week, sold two horses
and repeated the game by selling two
Thursday afternoon. The officers not
thinking the traffic altogether square,
“took in” the chaps and will endeavor to
show them that horse trading is not
profitable in this country. The officers
are slowly but surely riding this section
of a large and desperate gang of horse
thieves, and deserve all encouragement
and the thanks of the community for
their good work.
We had no faith in the proposed con-
test of the late municipal election result-
ing in any good, and we do not believe
Mr. Winn was very anxious to contest.
We do, however, know that if parties us-
ed money to influence the result, this
should be prosecuted to the full extent of
the law. It seems to be the very general
impression that between 200 and 300 il
legal votes were polled. Men are said
to have been brought in on giavel trains
from the Nation, and along down the
Central road and voted, and numbers
living in the country, did the same thing.
It is also believed that repeating was
largely indulged in. Whoever is respon-
sible for these outrages upon the ballot
box should be held responsible. The
ballots are still in existence, we presume,
and the illegal voters can be easily recog-
nized in most instances. If less attention
was paid to hunting uo of evidence and
prosecuting citizens for games at cards
for amusement, and a decisive effort made
to purify the ballot box, society would be
the gainer.
The way elections are conducted in this
city is a disgrace to the town and to the
State, and what is more, it the officers do
not make a thorough investigation as to
the means employed to secure votes in
election Monday they are deficit of duty
and open to very serious public censure.
A Republican Victory in Texas.
SCALDED BY GAS.
An Explosion at the Ioa Works—A Baa
Badly Scalded by Amiaeala Ua*.
An explosion took place at the ice works
last night in which Mr. Joseph Rankin, a
cousin of T. L. Rankin, the manage”,
was badly injmed. It occurred in this
manner: the factory has a steam pump
for condensing ammonia before it enters
the freezing room. While the ammonia
is being condensed it is very hot, or at
least it wil 1 scald when it touahes the flesh.
It also generates a gas. One of the
valves not working in a satisfactory man-
ner. Mr. Rankin went to it, and pro-
ceeded to unscrew the cap of the valve,
which is bolted on in a similar manner
to the cylinder head of a locomotive. He
had loosened the nuts, when he found
that there was considerable gas, and he
attempted to fasten the nut down again,
when it blew off, the ammonia gas cover-
ing his face and arms, scalding him
severly in the eyes, mouth and, in fact,
all over his flesh. The report of the ex-
plosion was quite loud. He was com-
pletely blinded, and was taken outside the
building and a physician sent for. Dr.
Locke arrived and administered to his
necessities, and states that although Mr.
Rankin is badly hurt, he does not think
he will lose his eyesight. We sincerely
hope he will not.—Dallas Herald, Iyh-

First Levee of His Honor the Mayor.
John Hanly, a stranger from Fort
Griffin, was brought before his honor the
mayor, charged with being D. D. (drunk
and down), to which charge he plead
guiltv. His sentence was one dollar and
costs, total $6 05, in default of payment,
six days. Alexander Goodwin, charged
with fast riding, plead not guilty. The
witnesses, however who appeared against
him, proved his guilt conclusively, and
his honor fined him three dollars and
costs—total, $8 03, in default of payment
ten days. Both gentlemen will help to
beautify our city.

Disease is an Antagonist
That should be attacked the instant he
shows himself. Don’t wait At him be-
fore his nails are grown, and wipe him

It is particularly ber.efical when the sys-
tem has been drained of its vitality or is
inherently deficient in strength. The
nerves gather from it both vigor and tran-
quilitv. But while it imparts strength
and gives a wholesome stimulus to the
animal economy, it does not unduly ex-
cite it like the cheap exhilarants some-
times resorted to undei the erroneous im-
pression that they can invigorate.
Special to the Globe-Democrat.
Denison, June it.—The municipal
election held in this city to-dav resulted
in a glorious republican victory, R. M.
Grubbs, republican, being elected mayor
by a plurality of 163, being a majority of
eighty over both ins democratic compet-
itors. The city assessor and collector,
city marshal, city treasurer, and all but
one of the successful councilmen are
northern men. The democrats made a
desperate effort to elect their candidates,
but met with a Waterloo defeat. To-night
the c>ty is illuminated with bonfires, and
the roar of cannon announces the joy ot
the majority over their handsome victory.
For wholesale falsehood the above tel-
egram lias not been beaten since the late
presidential campaign. There is but one
truth in it—that Major Grubbs is a repub-
lican. There was not another republican
elected, and Major Grubbs would have
been defeated if the democrats had not
aided him in a measure to defeat Mr.
Winn. In other words Mr. Grubbs would
not have been elected had the race been
strictly a political one, tor the simple
reason that the republicans in this city
are not strong enough to carry an elec-
tion where politics are the main issues.
Denison is a stronger democratic town
than Sherman, as past elections will
show, and no one would so misrepresent
that town as to say it is repubticari.
Thete was another special dispatcli to
the Galveston News, which was tempered
with fairness. It stated that party lines
were.loosely drawn, which is true, but
that telegram was also in error as to the .
politics ot Mr. Collin, stating that that;
gentleman is a republican. If we re- j
member right, Mr. C. loudly protested J
when the report was circulated on the j
streets to the effect that he was a radical
