THE TEXAS SCANDAL.
Miss Murphy and Her Father Flatly Contra
dict the Testimony Of DR.. Eaton,

Fort WORTH, Tex, March S.-To-day was
the most interesting yet in the Eaton-Murphy
investigation. DR.. j. D. Murphy was heard
during the entire day, and Miss Murphy to-
night. DR.. Murphy testified that Eaton had
never given his daughter money; that she re-
ceived a salary of $50 a month and commission
on music and paints used in her classes. Her
father testified there had never been an engage
ment between his daughter and Eaton. He told
of anonymous letters of a most scurrilous nature
received by him in reference to Fannie. He
was asked about her previous life in Carrolton,
Mo-, and testified she had trouble there with a
disappointed suitor, but there was no money
forgery in it.
A dramatic scene here occurred. While
cross examining in reference to her life at
Hardin college, Mr.. Furman asked if she was
not charged with forgery of notes there.
Mr.. Ball, of her counsel, interfered, and asked if
they were going to attempt proof of that kind; if
not, it was the most cowardly practice ever used
before a tribunal.
Furman said he did not know whether they
would or not.
Ball demanded if they had a scrap of paper
even to show they should produce it.
Furman said a man from Missouri had told j.
S. Davis, of this city, about it.
Davis was called for, and asked who it was.
He named w. r. Woodson. sis Mr.. Woodson
in the housel7 was called next From out of the
midst of 500 people arose the bulky form Of
Woodson as he responded, 81 am

TAKEN was the reply.
General clapping of hands and stamping en-
sued. Miss Murphy was led almost fainting
out of the room, and Furman withdrew the ques-
ton and apologized.

Delaware County.

Special to the indianapolis journal.
MUNoIE, March 8.-The Delaware county Re-
publican central committee has completed the
work begun by the mass convention of Satur-
day, Feb. 90. Seven delegates have been ap-
pointed to attend the April State convention for
the purpose of nominating delegates at large to
the Chicago convention. They are as follows:
R. S. Gregory, Richard Berger, Jesse Nixon, II.
H. Barter, James Card, James Orr, and Andrew
Black.
To the list of delegates appointed to the sew
eral conventions, and already published, may be
added the following: To State convention, John
F. Wildman; to congressional convention, Plat
E. Mott; to senatorial convention, John w. Skiff.
These were appointed as delegates for the county
at large.
The committee adopted a code of rules by
which the primary election for the nomination
of a county ticket, is to be governed. They pro
vide that the votes of only those known to be
Republicans, or who will pledge themselves to
publican ticket shall be received. They further
provide that the names of candidates for Con
gress shall be submitted to the primary, and
that the delegates of the county shall thereby
be instructed to cast the vote of the
county for the candidate receiving the
highest number of votes in the county at such
primary. This is virtually instructing for
Thomas NJ. Browne, who will receive the unani-
nous vote of the county, he being very popular
here. The preliminary work so far done by the
new committee is entirely satisfactory and the
utmost harmony and good feeling prevail,

city, who tried hard to get up a quarrel on the
Judge question. they desiring the Republicans to
nominate a man in opposition to Judge Monks,

THE NEW LIBERAL PARTY.
Coalition of the German Progressists and Sc
Observation-Disclosures Displeased.

Coalition OF the German Progressists and Sc
acknowledgements DispIeased.
LONDON, March 8.-Since the opening of the
Reichstag distinct progress has been made to-
ward the coalition of the Progressists and Sc
eessionists. Baron Stauffenberg has taken up
cnergetieally the policy Of the late leader, Herr
Lasker, and is urging the union of all sections of
the National Liberals. Prince Bismarck is
greatly troubled at this union of factions. He
will thereby lose the mastery which he has long
exercised by playing one party against another.
All sections of the Reichstag are discontented at
Bismarck's -contemptuous disregard of the cour-
tesies due the Reiehstag. He has not deigned to
appear in the assembly for the last thirteen
months. His absence has become demonstrative
Of contempt for German parliamentary institu-
tions.
The question will be raised by Baron Staulfen-
berg whether the Reichstag cannot compel the
presence Of the Chancellor at the opening.
Prince Bismark's organs say that he will appear
before the Reiehstag as soon as practical discus
sion opens on bills to improve the condition of
workingmen, and on the proposed extension of
the laws against Socialist agitation.

THE LAsKER INCIDENT.
Ricketts, Attitude in the Reichstag De-
nOunced by the Press.

BERLIN, March 9.-There is much attention
in political circles to an article in the
Cologne Gazette denouncing Riekerts at
titude in the Reichstag. The Gazette says
even Americans are recognizing that Bismarck
was justified in refusing to forward the Lasker
resolutions to the Reichstag.
The North German Gazette, quoting an ex-
tract from a letter from an impartial New York
correspondent, in which the latter says
the Lasker incident and pork question
are. by accidental combination, party
interests used to further political objects and
crusade against foreign Entertainments, declares
the Progressists and Secessionists will be an
swerable for any bitterness between America
and Germany.
1t is stated the reason the free conservatives
and members of the center party refrained from
joining the conservatives in opposition to Rick
ert's expression of thanks in the name of
Laskers friends for the many tokens of
sympathy received was that they considered the
American resolution in honorof a German Dep
utv an act of reverence.
The North German Gazette, in another arti-
cle, says: ''Rickert seized an opportunity at
the first sitting of the Reichstag to encroach
upon the constitutional prerogative of the EN-
peror as regards the foreign policy in a manner
dePogatory to the authority prescribed"
