THE; NEW York legislature has
passed bill permitting the sale Oh
ice-cream on Sunday. Some good
people feel bad about it, but we are
inclined to think it will promote
public order and morality after all,
as it will prevent many young men
from escorting the girls home from
church on Sunday nights.

Incendiary Fire-Telegraph Facilities
The Telephone System-aeneral Local
Summary.
CLEBURNE, April 9.-[Special. Last
night, about halfpast IL o'clock, the alarm
of fire was sounded through the streets
Locket's mill and cotton-gin were dis
covered to be on fire. Having gotten so COM
pletely enveloped in flames before the
fire was noticed it was utterly impossible to
save the building or contents. About three
bales of cotton and probably some lint cot
ton were burned in the building. There
had been no fire in the engine since Satur-
day night, and the belief is that it was the
work of some rascally incendiary. The
loss on the building machinery and other
contents, was about $4,000; insured for
$500.
The Western Union Telegraph company
have connected their Office at Alvarado, and
also at Fort Worth, via Alvarado and
the Missouri Pacific railroad, with
the Cleburne and Dallas wire, giving our
city direct telegraph communication with
these points.
A strong movement is on foot among our
citizens to obtain telephone connec-
ton, in conjunction with the exchange
system to be established here,
with Thorp Springs and Granbury. The
company will build the line soon II the nee
essary amount is guaranteed by the above
places. Messrs. Graham and Gugenheim.
of this city, will visit these points, probably
this week, in the interest of this worthy en-
prise, and the object of their visit will
doubtless be accomplished. Hillsboro and
other neighboring towns will likely be SINH
larry connected during the summer.

he he's collected all the information he can
upon our system of river and harbor inn

Considerable discussion is going on
among the legal fraternity as to the sue
cessor of Judge Amos Morrill,, who is soon
to retire from the bench OF the United

cants for the judgeship. but upon whom
the mantle will fall it is hard to determine.

going from his place OF business home at a
late hour Sunday night, was assaulted by
an unknown party. While his injuries are
not serious, they were very painful Tor

it was done to crafty bad feeling and not
for the purpose Of robbery. The way the

Spaulding, one of the trustees OF the aims
house. had boosted that while no emolu-
ment was attached to trusteeship, he could
make it pay. The governor intimated that
this was done by turning over contracts TO
outside parties, with whom Spanld-

Schiller on Trial.

MILWAUKEE, WIS, April 1O.-The trial OF
George Schiller, charged with setting the
Neyhall house on fire and causing the aw-
full catastrophe of January 10th by which
Almost 100 lives were sacrificed, was
opened in the criminal court this morn
ing. Great interest was taken on
every side, and long before the time set the
court room was crowded. The prosecution
is represented by District Attorney Clark
and P. ]. Somers, city attorney, while coun-.
sci for defense appeared in the persons OF
]. McKenney, former district attorney, and
W. H. Eb5eth. Schiller was the centre OF
ali observation when he was brought into
court. He was rather pallid from long and
close confinement, but looked fieshier than
when arrested, and carried himself
confidently and calmly. The days pro.
ceedings were confined to the securing of
Jury and were without special interest.
The aim of the prosecution will be to es-
tablish that Schiller's financial embarass-
ment led him him to seek relief by destroy
ing his place and so secure the insurance,
which was heavy, while it is intimated
that evidence will be offered to prove that
Schiller was in his saloon but short time
before the fire broke out. The defense
claim to have but little direct testimony
to offer, relying mainly on the failure OF
the prosecution to connect Schiller with
with the incendiarism and so bring about
his accquittal on technical grounds.

OTTAWA, ONT, April 1O.-Notwithstand-

The night-watch furnished by the Domin-

fact that nearly year has elapsed since the
adoption of that resolution to investigate
the relations between capital and labor, and

any sign of remedial legislation. A form OF
