SoME time ago the immaculate repre-
sentatiFes of the democracy at Washing

about frauds IN the Pension Bureau.
They had discovered that Dr.. Won Ar
min formerly Commissioner of Pensions,
had during one year Issued 81, GOO pen

jumped to the conclusion that some
thing was wrong. The investigation
which followed has thus far developed
two important facts, viz: That DIR. Won
Armln committed no fraud. and that. in
1896, Democratic Commissioner of
Pensions issued ia, 500 warrants. am
average OF little moro than sixty-one

New Departures I'm Upper Mississippi
SfeambOatlng.

ST. LOUIS, August 29.-The new de-
parture in steamboating on the upper
Mississippi was made to-day by the
Keokuk, of the northern line packet
company. Commodore Davidson, pre-
sident of that company, has for long
time believed that II line of line steam.
ers to ply between here and Keokuk,
Iowa, to carry passengers and light
freight only, would result in bringing
back to the river the large passenger
traffic of former years. To test the
matter, the compa y has this season
built two very fast and elegant steam
ers, the War Eagle and Golden Eagle,
aud to-day the new enterprise was In
augurated by the departure of the Wal
Eagle on her first trip, under the most
favorable auspices. The design Is tc
compete with the railroads as to speed
comfort, safety and cheapness. The
line will be daily, and the boats run b,
schedule time.

A word 20 Galveston.

Our people were very much gratihed
by the visit OF the business men OF
Galveston to them. II Is an earnest
that they have, at last, awakened 10 u
sense Of the Importance OF the good
will, trade and intercourse Of North
Texas. THE HERALD has for several
years been endeavoring to induce the
Galveston business men to make more
Of an effort in this direction with
drummers, advertising and personal
attention, but In vain. A glance at the
advertising columns Of The HERALD,
which is the oldest and best advertising
medium In North Texas, will reveal
beggarly array of Galveston adver-
tisements. We hope now that the
apathy and indifference of Galveston
towards placing her business interests
before our people is over, and that
hereafter our list Of Galveston patrons
will more than equal 81. Louis. We
want to help build up Galveston as o
Texas port, but all the help must not
be on our side. BY advertising she
will show the best disposition to help
herself, and THE HERALD affords her
the best facilities for reaching our
trade. 81

Half "a Million Fire in san Francisco
Two Hundred Families Home ess.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 20.--AbOut
eleven O'Clock last night fire broke
out in the box factory on Brandon
street, in the southern part of the city.
The neighborhood was closely built up
with frame dwellings, stores and man
ufacturing establishments, and before
two o'clock this morning the fire
almost completely swept large block
bounded by Brandon, Townsend, Third
and Fourth streets, the only buildings
saved being the fine offices of the Cen
tral Pacific Railroad, and few frames
Of small value, the latter mostly badly
damaged. Over two hundred poor
families are turned out Of doors, and
the loss will probably aggreg gate half
million dollars. At one time there
was imminent danger that the fire
would cross Third and sweep that por-
ton of the city down to the Pacific
Mail dock, but the fire brigade made
stand on that street and checked the
flames there. Some of the dwellings
destroyed were of a superior character.
Besides these, the principal loss is in
the destruction of the hospital, rail-
road hotel, and box, sash and blind
mandatory. During the conflagra-
ton fireman named Steward fell
from ladder, on Brennan street, and
was instantly killed-neck broken. A
number of minor accidents are report
ed, but few of serious nature.

Murder,

Lon Phillips, an escaped convict,
was killed at Allen Station, six miles
below Mckinney, on Monday, by
Deputy Sheriff William Warden.
Phillips was noted desperate, who,
connected with Bill Cary, overpower-
ed the guard somewhere on the Inter-
national railroad some time since. He
was sent to the penitentiary from
Collin county some two years ago, and
escaped about year ago, since when
he has been at large.
The sheriff Of Collin county. know
ing that Phillips was lurking around
Allen Station, where he knew Phil
lips mother lived, had been on the
look out for him for some time. He
quietly visited Allen Station about
once week and finally succeeded In
finding his man on Monday. AS soon
as the despei ado observed the officer,
he fired three shots AZ him, one OF
which cut the latter's coat. Finding
no other recourse, Mr.. Wsrden fired a
double barreled shotgun, and Phillips
passed to his long account.

Eleven Hundred Thousand Tons AT
Auction.
NEW York, August % A great coal
sale took place to-day nj noon at Han
over square, which was completely
blocked with coal spectators Buyers
from all parts of the country were
present. Intense excitement relgned
in the neighborhood, aud wagons,
trucks and windows were filled with
spectators, while the actual buyers
were congregated in dense mass
around the auctiOneers stand. The
latter read the conditions Of the sale
and announced that II was perfectly
bona iide and that no reservation was
to he put on the goods offered for sale
He said there were four companies
represented in the sale, hut they were
not combined in any way and no effort
would be put forth by them to keep
the market up. Buyers could bid and
rest assured that their own judgment
was all they had to contend with.
Delaware and Lackawannah first offered
steamer coal was put up and one thou
sand tons Of 1t sold for So per ton.
Prices fell to 81 50 and then to - rs,
at which the balance was bought. |
Forty thousand tons was then put up
and the first price offered was So 81,
at which over 1900 tons were sold;
the remainder sold at SO 20, and %, 900
tons of egg brought 50 % and 80 IN.
There was a decided manifestation on
the part Of the buyers to wait until
some one made "a purchase and then
beat the price down. Purchasers were
evidently uncertain Of how far the
market might break and many held
back, expecting that they would get
good bargains. In many cases they
were successful, as prices tumbled dur
ing the sale and then recovered to be-
You'd the starting point as the supply
became exhausted. Forty thousand
tons of stove coal started at So so, at
which 10000 tons went off; 1t then adj

PorrsvlLI.E, August 29.-.The prices
realized by the auction sale of coal in
New York We're anxiously looked for
by all those engaged in the coal trade
Much surprise and alarm was shown
as the prices were bulletined, the gen
eral expectation being that the sale
would be adjournei II SO so per ton, as
the lowest figure, could not, be Oh

prices brought will compel them all to
suspend operations unless the tolls and
labor can be reduced to a much lower
figure than at present, with the chances
against them even OF great reduction

lower prices than are now prevailing
The situation has u gloomy outlook.
