What the Barons Want.

COlOrhuO upper.
Looks as the free-grass ba, ons were going
TO force the issue on the Democratic party. II
they do, the barons will Md themselves
without baronies. Il . alScston Newe.
Well, yes. The free-grass barons, as
the News is pleased to call the people
of Northwest Texas, are mostly DEM
Gratis, and 1t was by their solid votes
that the present administration was
placed at the head. They are
not asking for more than Is
reasonable. The state has given to
great railroad corporations millions Of
the public domain. There Is no more
land in Texas subject to presumption,
and all the free-grass barons ask Is that
the public lands he exposed TO sale to
actual settlers, and that the miserable
lease eysI em which is running our
country be abolished. This much we
ask and demand in the name of justice.

ATTICA, Ind, May !5-On the 25th of last
March pleasant, smooth-talking stranger
came to this city and registered at the Re-
we're house as Daniel Blank, Peru. He regis
tered himself as agent for the American, of
Pennsylvania, Allemannia, of Pittsburg,
and Continental Insurance companies,
and Immediately com menced canvassing
among Jne Farmers OF This secuon.
Business was so good that on April 15
John Crow, another agent pretending to be
from Indiana polis came to his assistance,
and since then the two have worked Fount-
ain and Warren counties thoroughly. Al
the bottom of each application for insurance
a bankable note was attached and to this

A Chicago Alderman Shot.

CHICAGO, May l5.-Tuesday night James
Dacey, ward politician, shot, and it is be-
lieved, fatally injured Alderman Michael
Gaynor. The shooting occurred in a saloon
and was the result of political quarrel,
growing out of an election to fill vacancy
i'll the city council, which took
place that day, and in which
Gaynor supported one candidate
and Dacey the other. Dacey was arrested
for disorderly conduct and fined SO. While
n court he was drunk and very abusive, and
made threats against Gaynor. He continued
drinking heavily and on the night of the
shooting met the alderman in the saloon, and
While there offered to shake hands. which
Gaynor for some reason refused, although
previously the quarrel had apparently
BEEN made up. He, however, asked
Dacey to drink and turned to the bar, when
Dacey, remarking Il would not drink with
such man as you," stepped behind him and
shot him in the head, the ball entering two
inches above and behind the right ear and
penetrating the brain. Gaynor was taken to
his home, where he lies with one chance in
ten of recovery, and the wouid-be murderer
was arrested and lodged in the station. There
were threat of lynching, but the police were
fully prepared for anything of that sort and
they were not crrried out

ROASTED ON THE RAIL.
-Four Laborers Burned Alive in q
Railroad Accident.
Terrible Collision Which Sends an
UNKNOWN Number of Souls
Into Eternity-Partieular
of the Horror.

PITTsBURG, Pa, May IA west-bound
freight collided with the gravel train on the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, one mile east of
Cennellsville, between 9 and 10 o'clock a. m.
number Of laborers, variously estimated at
from twelve to twenty, were killed and
many weFe injured The scene of the dis
aster is on a sharp curve just west
OF the Speer sand works. The
freight train was heavily laden with
ore. The camp-train consisted of six cars 1t
contained about fifty from the Pittsburg'
Southern road, who were on their way to
Pyle Falls to work on the grading for
double track on the the east end of this di-
vision. Both trains were going at a
high rate of speed, and came together
with a terrible crash. The engines
remained on the track and telescoped each
other to the smoke-stacks, but the heavy
tenders jumped into the air and fell, the
freight tender upon its engine and the gravel
train tender back upon the first car in the
rear of it. Here was the scene of death.
Six men were killed outright in this
car and four others were fastened down
by the broken timbers and were roasted to
death, the car catching fire from the over
euii0u SooNo up uhC
stupefed survivors could comprehend the
awful situation of their shrieking compan-
ions, Three men escaped from the car, and
one of them said that the fire could have been
extinguished had water been applied in time.
Tbs wreck itself was ghastly sight. The
tender of the freight engine stood thirty
feet in the air at the side Of the iron car that
was burned, and could be seen sitting amid
the glowing embers. Twisted iron rods sur
rounded three grinning skeletons, one
sitting bolt upright, apparently peering into
the flames that had smothered out his life,
as well as those of his companions
1t is impossible at this writing to get list
of the dead and wounded, but it is known
that John Neville, John Ward, John c arey,
and John Hughes were fatally burned.
| Pat Cassidy. who was on the second car
was instantly killed. Another named Shay,
who was injured has since died
At noon large force of shop hands were
on the ground extinguishing the flames, and

bris away and rescuing the charred remains

KILLED HIS FRIEND.
Apparently Out of Pure and Total
Moral Depravity.
Particulars of a Murder That Had
No Apparent Cause-A Man
Kills the Only Friend
EKe Had.

ANDERSON, Ind. May 15.-Sunday evening
Sylvester Hupp, aged about 40 years, met
his death at the hands of Joseph Frazier, aged
Alexandria. Tine murder was such
a cool and cowardly one that it has
created feverish excitement Hupp had
been at work for Frazier for sew
eral days getting out timber to
build him barn, and Saturday the two were
at Anderson together. They did consider
able drinking, in consequence of which Fra
zier was sick all day Sunday. Mrs. Hupp
was at his house, and as she started home he
called to her: Tell Yves to come over; want
to see him." and in answer to this request
Hupp arrived later.
Frazier and his wife were in bed when
Hupp entered the house, walked to the bed,
remarking as he extended his hand, "How do
you feel tonight, Joe9" By this time he was
close to the bed. "Is that you Wesp in
quired Frazier, at the same in
slant firing his pistol, a thirty
eight caliber, the bullet passing through
Hupp's heart, killing him instantly. Frazier
was arrested shortly after, taken to Alex
andria, and brought to Anderson to save
him from the lynchers. He waived a pre-
liminary examination, and is now in Jail on
i charge of murder in the first degree
Frazier is a desperate man, mean and over
bearing and quarrelsome. Your reporter
visited the scene of the shooting, and through
oat the entire neighborhood not man would
say good word for him. He had but one
friend in that locality, one man who would
countenance him or have anything to do
with him, and that man was Sylvester Hupp,
whose heart he had pierced with bullet.
| the two men had no quarrel, and were the
| eery best of friends.
| Frazier says he doesn't know why he fired
the shot Mrs. Frazier, who was in bed with
her husband, said he had no provocation. All
the witnesses testified to the same thing, and
the only solution of the crime is that Frazier
wanted to murder some one, and killed his
friend. The man leaves a wife and four
children in destitute circumstances. Frazier
has large family and considerable prop
erty. Prosecutor Kittinger has prepared al
the necessary papers for speedy trial, and
the sheriff has used extra precautions III
