had been drinking together, entered the San
Antonio theatre in each others company They
met man named Foster in the dress circle,
and some words were exchanged, bringing about
melee during which Thompson and Fisher
were killed and Foster wounded. The circle
was quickly cleared, the occupants jumping in
to the parquette below and through the side
windows into the street No one sesms to know
who fired the first shot, or how many were en-
gagged in the shooting After the firing, Thomp
sons brother put in an appearance, but was
promptly arrested. The remains of the two
victims were takenin charge by host of friends,
and obsequies have been ordered on the grand
est scale, regardless of expense. The theatre
where the ARRAY occurred was the scene last
year of the killing. by Thompson, of Jack Har.
ris, then proprietor of the place. Fisher and
Thompson were probably the two most desper-
ate and widely known men in Texas, and have
each killed fabulous number of their fellow
citizens, At the inquest, the jury found that
the killing WAS iustifiable, and done in slide
Tense. There was no direct testimony as to who
did the shooting, but evidence went to show
that Foster one of the proprietors who refused

Order Against Dynamiters.

The following circular has been issued in
Washington:
Department of Justice, Washington, March
IL, 1884 To District Attorneys and Marshals
of the United States: By direction of the pres
ident have to inform you that it is reported
certain persons are aiding in the prosecution
eign parts explosives dangerous in the highest
degree to life and property. No proof has
been adduced that this rumor is founded upon
fact, and the president cannot believe it truth.
The honor of this nation, however, requires
that it should not be open to the imputation,
unfounded though it be, of the slightest ap-
pearance of tolerating such crimes, whether to
be committed against our people or those Of
other countries. Your attention is therefore
called to sections 1858, 1854, $3.50, 427S and
4319, Revised Statutes of the United States,
which regulate the shipment of explosives and
the punishment of those who infringe on their
provisions, and you are instructed to be dill
gent in your efforts to prevent the offences
described, and to detect and prosecute those
who have or may commit them Very respect

the time was happily passed with mu-
sic and dancing, flirting and love MAX
ing until evening was drawing near,
Then the ladies busted themselves in
preparing the supper, which they spread
upon an improvised table. There was
great display of tempting viands, and
the guests were soon seated around the
board to partake of them; but so busy
were they all, so gay with jest and rep
artee, that no one observed gathering
of storm clouds in the heavens until
heavy peal of thunder broke upon them,
sending shower of rain on their vet
untasted supper.
The rain poured down in torrents, and
as fash succeeded flash and the deep
thunder rolled, the party, after rushing
wildly about in the storm, finally found
protection in a rocky cave at no great
distance. When they were assembled,
and were congratulating each other on
the shelter they had secured, it was
discovered that Lillian was not among
them. In moment Edgar started out
into the tempest in search of the missing
girl and found her sheltered beneath a
large tree, her white arms clinging
around it, while she gazed up through
its branches at the clouds torn by the
binding flashes of lightning. There
was loud crash, moment of confusion
and horror, and Lillian lay in Edgar's
arms, her head pillowed upon his breast.
The tree had been struck by the electric
fluid and dashed to the ground,
but from some miraculous cause
they both escaped : unhurt.
Lillian, almost insensible, was yet con-
scious of whose arms we're about her,
of whose passionate kisses were on her
lips. Her heart throbbed wildly. She
felt no terror of the danger, no graft
tude for her escape; she only knew
that Edgar sheltered her, and that he
loved her, and that # she could only

years ago. His friend here recognize
the fact that any attempt to carry the

A Republican Judge.

The election returns from the First
Appellate district contrary to the in
dications of last week, show that
Judge w. ii. Holt, of Montgomery,
the Republican candidate, has defeat
ed Judge Robt. Riddell, of Estill, the
Democratic nominee, by upwards of
1000 votes. The district, embracing
Al counties, gave Knott majority of
1900 in the last state election. Re-
publicans will doubtless claim this
as a victory and to some extent it is
a victory. 1t insures to the Repub-
lican party Judge upon the Appel
late Bench for the next six years,
but this has not been accomplished
by all increase in the party strength.

than it was last year. Then how are
we to explain this startling result !?
1t is intended by the people as re-
Duke to the party bosses who forced
the nomination of a weak candidate.
In the canvass for the nomination
Judge Reid and Judge Riddell were
the leading contestants. Judge Reid
was assaulted and cowhided by
Corneilson, a friend of his opponent,
and then Riddell, taking advantage
of his rivals humiliation and
christian forbearance, set himself to
the task of carrying Judge Reid's
own county. Then came Judge Reds
melancholy Suicide and many of his
friends charged Riddell with being
the instigatorof the disgraceiul attack
that led to this tragic end. They
warned him, as the convention APP
preached, that they would not sup
port him if nominated. The MEM
bcrs Of the Christian or Reformed
church, of which Judge Reid was a
member and officer, declared that
they would not vote for the man
whom they believed to be the indirect
cause of his death. These protests
availed nothing and for lack of con-
centration the opposition failed to
organize and Riddell was nominated.
Judge Holt, a popular Republican
and lawyer ADLER and more learned
than Riddell, was put out against
him with the result mentioned above.
His election is not a surprise. On
tie contrary it was expected from
the first 1t is unfortunate at this
time, but the party will be rebuked,
purified and strengthened by this
refusal Of the people to tamely sub
nit to the rule of the self-constituted
bosses and political bummers who
try to run the party in Eastern Ken
lucky.
