The DanvilIe RiOt-NO Money to Carry
 On the investigation.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Squire Taliafero, a strongly built colored man, chairman of his ward committee for several years, was the first witness before the Danville sub-commit- tee to day. He was sanitary commission err (scavenger) in Danville for six months previous to the 1st of last November, having been appointed by the town authorities. He was a very willing witness. He heard the shooting on the Saturday of the riot and hastened to his house. He kept within doors, refusing admittance to callers until o'clock Monday morning. There were whites and others about his house, and they pretended to have telegrams for him, but he didn't want any news at that time of night" They tried to rattle his door down. He did hear afterwards that one of his tenants at dis tance had sent a telegram. Witness related at considerable length conversations with white Democrats, who previous to the riot had threatened with abundant pro- fanity to carry the election at all hazards 'sby Smith $ Wesson self. acting five shooters and breech-Ioadipg shotguns." He rehearsed in brief the speeches he himself had made to the colored people during the canvass. Like most of the colored witnesses he boastea of his exceeding fright on the day of the riot. He had not fully recovered yet. Witness said a notice was put under his door some time after the riot addressed, ''This is to Squire Taliafero." It's contents were ''Squire Taliafero, you are considered as one of the leaders or instigators of the late riot of Danville. As such you are responsible for the blood spilled therein. We have determined that your stay in Dan vile is injurious to the public peace; there fore you must go. You are given three days to prepare, and if after three days you are found in Danville you must take the conse- quences.
 The committee adjourned subject to the call of the chairman, with the understanding that no further proceedings should take place until the House had acted upon the Senate joint resolution appropriating money for further expenses

An Actress Queer Stery-SaImi Morse's
 Last Night On Earth.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-At the inquest held to-day in the case of Salmi Morse Miss Mary c. Blackburn, the actress, testified that she dined with him after the close of the theatre on Thursday night, after which they returned to her house. She describes the scene that took place there as follows: While standing in the parlor talking about business matters MT. McGivney, business manager of the Cos mopolitan, rushed into the room and with an oath struck Mir. Morse, saying, ''Take that you old rascal" MT. Morse then staggered back and putting bis hand to his head walked out of the house. Mir. MeGivney followed MT. Morse out almost immediately. About o'clock the same morning MT. Mo- Givney returned and rapped loudly upon my window. I asked him what he wanted. He replied that he wanted to see me for min- ute. opened the door and remarked that it was 8 very unseemly hour for him to call He replied that it made no difference to him what the hour was. He then walked into the hallway and said, sI want to know what you are going to do, !" referring to some business matters supposed about the play "On the Yellowstone" He then complained about tramping the streets and walked out He appeared to be under the influence of liquor. I have seen MT. McGivney several times since He is still connected with the theatre. On Monday he told me not to say anything aboat the affair or he would make it warm for me and make me wish never had any, thing to do with the business. On account of the absence of some witnesses the coroner adjourned the case until tomorrow.

l-weii Known" Csitleman in Evening Dem
ocra;.
II was not perversion or abuse OF free
grnss but the denial OF free-grsss that
provoked fence-cutting, and the legis-
lature Of Texas, instead OF enacting
penalty for the Illegal Enclosure OF
lands, framed law that forced men to
lease land, and thus multiplied the
causes of fence-cutting. After the
lease law has been fastened on tue
state, IL the business OF fence-cutting
shall he revived, the blame will not
attach to the man who predicts the re-
suit, but to the law which would try
TO make the wire fence do what the
Indian, buffalo, the Zine rider" the
forest trees, all failed to do-prevent
the settlement OF the country-for free
grass means actual settlement.
Free grass did not turn over the
country to "kings," because free grass
has been the states policy up to the
present year; and up to the present
year Texas has grown and prospered
in "A remarkable degree. Year by year
the farmer has driven the stockman
back towards the setting sun, and the
lease law Is the syndicates' refuge.
Free grass has turned over the country
east OF Fisher and Nolan counties, and
would push the farming line further
west but for the lease law. A well
known" cattleman cannot avoid pay
ing his tribute to free grass, and the
past growth of Texas justifies all that
can be said In It's favor.
