REV. W. Fl. H. MURRAY. who was once
a famous Boston preacher and Golden Rule
editor, il now an enterprising stock raiser
in the State of Texas. Being invited to
address the Agricultural Fair recently held
at San Antonio he discOursed elouuently
on keeping out of debt, and the impossi-
bility of success where large portion of
the income of farmers is exhausted in paw
ing interest He told the Texan farmers
they could never prosper in paying eight,
ten or twelve per cent. He said it was his
earliest duty, as a farmers son to help to
fight mortgage, and dreadful fight it
was, too, and for manv years it was 4
doubtful thing whether Murray or the
mortgage would win; and he won that tight
with the mortgage only by the pinch of the
tail The young men were told to do the
best they could, but under all circumstances
keep out of debt. His remarks in favor
of good roads, that would enable them to
bring their produce to good markets, were
equally forcibie. The formation Of
grand school fund was urged in the strong
est language-"Yo should have not merely
some of your people educated, but you
should have all educated, and the step to
this end should be taken not five years
hence, but now this very year, and the
foundation laid for an educational system
broad enough to cover every child and
meet the wants Of alan educational sys-
EN- for either black nor white, rich nor
poor, but for everY Texan child; schools
where not only ninteen out of twenty shall
be taught, but the twentieth shall be equal
ly well educated-shall have that birth
right God intended for him when He mys-
teriously looked into his eyes as he lay
Graded in poverty" Altogether, the ad.
dress OF Mr.. Murray was superior in all re.
spects to anything of the kind that has
come under our notice fhis scacon

Train Robbers Raffiedl for Oncc.

Two gentlemen who arrived at Kansas City,
On the Santa Fs train relate an experience with
train robbers near Spearville Tuesday night
They left Pueblo Tuesday afternoon when near
Spearville train man passed through the cars
warning the passengers that robbers were on
the train and advising them to hide their valu-
ables. A scene of confusion and terror ensued,
women screaming while everybody frantically
tried to hide his possessions in every conceiv-
able place It seemed that five suspicious
characters boarded the train at the station be-
fore Spearville and then the train men discov-
ering them armed themselves, warned the pas
sengers and prepared to defeat their purpose
which they were satisfied was robbery. At
Spearvillea wrecking train stood on the side
track and the hands were summoned to aid In
capturing the robbers, but the willy fellows, i've
in number, skipped out from one side of the
car while reinforcemen.s boarded it from the
other. Chase was given but they escaped in the
darkness. The five men were disguised with
muffiers, slouch hats, etc., and all heavily
armed,

Changes In the Treasury.

Washington special to Chicago News: Secre-
tary Folger has decided that the good of the
service requires a number of important
changes Several prominent officials will soon
be asked to resign. Others will be transferred
in different bureaus. A number of appoint
ments must be made to fill the vacancies thus
created. All this takes time, and as Judge
Folger intends to be just he will not act until
his plans are fully matured. 1t can, however,
be said that the only reason why a number of
important changes have not before this been
made, is the difficulty encountered in finding
suitable and satisfactory persons to supply the
tho places of those going out 1t is probable
that chan ges will soon occur now occupied by
secretaries French and Upton, and Messrs.
Power, Lamphere, James, Babcock, Tingle and
one or two others.

sorrow for Garfield in Buenes Ayres.

A letter from Buenos Ayres says: The death
of President Garfield greves us sorely. There
was very touching demonstration in Buenos
Ayres. Fifteen thousand persons marched past
the American legation with various national
banners draped. There were eighteen bands
in the procession playing dirges. The United
States minister stood on the balcony with many
American residents. Not speech, not shout
and not human voice was heard. The three
ex-presidents of the country walked in the
ranks. Between 1000 and 5000 were Italian
residents, about 1000 French and about

for her support, and movement is being
made for m increase. The large volun-

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.
Controller Knox does not apprehend gem
eral financial trouble, and says he has had no
bad news.
From the fact that three postoffice inspectors
have been before the grand Jury, it is believed
that body has entered upon the star route inves-
dgation.
It is understood that an additional case of
embezzlement, amounting to $40, 600, has
been found against Capt. Howgate. and the
matter will be laid before the grand jury.
W. L. Marble, well known as commioner OF
p lcpts, has been appointed general land COM
m ssioner of Wizards trans continental railway
system, and vii! have headquarters in New
oTk
Controller Knox says that in February last
he wrote the directors of the Pacific bank of
Boston informing them that certificates were
being issued by which the credit Of the bank
was loaned to dealers with it, and that the
transactions alluded to were irregular and ille-
gal, and should be stopped.
The controller of the currency in his annual
report will devote considerable space to 1.-THE
Newark National bank failure, especially with
its relations to the responsibility of directors.
He will take the position that the government
cannot stand bank examiner or a policeman
at the door of every bank, and the law contem-
plates that the directors shall do their duty.
Some of the comments upon the negligence Of
directors and their ignorance of the affairs of
the bank will be quite severe.

WEDNESDAY, NOV. %,

When the court opened Scoville made q
formal reqneat for the papers taken from Gui-
teau OF the time of his arrest, stating that they
were material evidence for the defense. and
since the prosecution had not needed them. he
could see no reason why they should be with
held. The district attorney offered to furnish
copies Of the papers, but Scoville insisted upon
his right in the matter, and asked for the orlgi-
nails. Pending the discussion, Guiteau in
sisted upon being heard and said:
There are forty to fifty slips denouncing Presi.
dent Garfield. It was by living on such ideas
as these that I was finally impelled on to shoot
the president with my inspiration"
Scoville, resuming, alluded to Guiteau's ca
reer as o politician, and drew the conclusion
that his intellect was deficient.
When reference was made to his runninh
around from one committee room to mother.
seeking to be employed as campaign speaker.
and his failure to obtain recognition was men
toned, Guiieau shouted angrily, ssIt wasn't be-
cause hadno ability, but was not known I
had ideas, but not q reputation. They wanted
big guns like General Grant and Senator Conk-
ling-men who would draw" Then, in direct
contradiction of his counsers declaration to the
jury yesterday, that Guiteau was a man who
never made joke IN his life, he looked
up with an amused smile, and added:
II presume to draw now" This provoked gem
eral laughter, which was promptly suppressed
by the court, who struggled hard to disguise a
smile on his own features. After various in
terruptions Mr.. Scovllle finished his speech.

witnesses for the defense were excluded from
