lliam Martin, aged q years, a boarding
runner, died in a most horrible manner
Monday. He had been drinking great
pn Sunday, consuming in short while in
vening at least half bottle Of liquor, and,

of bravado offered to bet that he could
SCHOONER" (a glass which holds

friends and Martin swallowed the poi

George Pandell-, Superintendent of Nor
Texas Rasmoad, thinks that within q
Ihe read will be completed to the point
, twill strike the connecting link with
portion already completed in Texas. Steel
have been ordered already in Pennsyl-
!, and all the CROSS ties have been contract
4, 1900 having already been delivered
andelly does not think that many addi-
4 laborers will be required, the regular
ruction force of the company, with few
I'd men, being considered sufficient, as all

ere is at last some hope that the vigorous
By of Governor Nichols will clear the fair

to the fellow-feeling which existed be-
en- them and the two alien Governors.
er Governor Nichols all this is changed,
evil doers of all CLASSES have just cause to

pged in different parts of the State, and we
see that the Governor has signed the
warrant Of JesEe Walker who killed
