SAN MARCOS, Oct. 1.-THE West
Texas Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church South met this
morning at 9 o'clock, Bishop Parker
presiding. Most of the morning was
taken up in forming committees, etc.
There is but one case for trial that
will likely create much interest, that
will he the Blair case connected with
the Luling tragedy some time ago.
We understand the case will come up
before the conference. There are
quite number Of intelligent-looking
Mexicans here, who are members Of

The Boston Globe of Monday followed
up with list of los of the same class

Forty years ago there were not as

hearing the facts, followed and ar
rested them, and brought them back
to this city. Monday evening he took
metallic casket with him and
brought the remains of Bothamly to
Newton and buried them besideh his

FRESH, indeed, says the Philadel-
phia Record, are those Democratic
protectionist journals which claim
the result in Ohio and Iowa as a tri-
umph for their narrow doctrines.
AS between the Democrats and Re-
publicans of Ohio the revenue policy
of the government was not at issue.
The Republicans Endorsed protection
and the Democrats lodged the tariff
issue. In Iowa, where the Repub-
licans made losses instead of gains,
the Democrats were distinctly in
favor of tariff reform. There is no
comfort for the friends OF protection
in the result in either state.

sent over the Western Union wire,
and Investigation developed the facts
as alleged. Van Wrinkle and Alkorn
had tapped a Western Union wire at

branch wire into small office in this

and sent to all the different bucket
shops. Van Wrinkle was held in $1,000

PARTIES AND SECTIONS In CON-
GRESS.

1t is truthfully stated by cotem-
porary that the next house is going to
more perfectly represent "the common
people" than any we have had for
great many years. The Democrats
will have seventy majority, if they
are all on hand, giving the Republicans
the "Readjusters," the "Independ-
ents," and the "Greenbackers." 1t
will be a larger house, as to numbers,
than any of its predecessors, gaining
thirty-two members by the last APP
portionment. At this rate of increase
the great hall, new and grand as it is,
win soon have to be enlarged to keep
pace with the growth of the American
Union. The gain in numbers is en-
tirely to the South and West, the
losses and gains in the Eastern states
just balancing each other. The West
gains seventeen. the South fifteen
new members. 1t will probably be
giving the minority too much to give
them all the third-party members who
have been elected under various party
names, but, giving them all, and
Democrats will still have sixty-three
majority, as follows:
