For some time past the assertions ut soldiers az

Perry, commander AT the post. has been adves>
$500 for the return of deserters TO the post. A
few days ago a sheriff In New Mexico brought
To the post half dozen of the desertex whom
he had picked up in his county. Mai Perry
refused TO pay $500. but offered 800. The
sheriff refused 10 take IL, and coming 10
Durango commenced civil proceedings against
MAJ. Perry TO recover the amount of the reward
offered. Sheriff Turner went out TO Fort Lewis
there denied his authority 10 Interfere with
them. Col. Swaine ordered the sheriff TO leave
the reservation within five minutes or he would
have him put in irons. The sherifrs reply was
that there was not enough ''bluecoats" on the
reservation to arrest him. Words led ~ blows
between Turner and Col. Swane, In which the

BraZoria county by the addition of 900 colored
families, which, at moderate calculation,
would Increase the voting strength OF that
county and of the Shoestring congressional dis
trict by about 1000 Several colonization
schemes OF this character were set on loot soon

in Brazoria and neighboring counties by colored

"
Committee Relative to Tickets.
"
The action of the Executive COMMITTEES
Of the Inauguration Ceremonies at Wash
ington. in designating the Baltimore &
Ohio ticket offices in the principal cities,
east and west, as special repositories for the
sale of Inauguration Ball tickets, cannot
but prove Of great advantage, has hereto
fore tickets could not be obtained o rthe ball
until after arrival at the national capitol,
Everybody knows where the B. 30. Offices
are in the leading cities: SO Clark st.. in
Chicago; 8 N. High st., in Columbus; l73
Walnut ST., in Cincinnati; 136 s.. Illinois
St, in Indianapolis; l0I N. 4th st., in
st. Louis; 1852 w. Baltimore st., in Bal
timorc. Letters relative to the ball tickets
addressed to the B. & o., ticket agent
at any of the addresses given, or to ticket
agent B. & o. Office Louisville, Wheel
ing, GAINESVILLE, Newark, Sandusky, Gum
berland or Frederick, will received prompt
attention. At the Offices named, those
who desire can purchase the ball tickets
same time as they do their railroad tick
cts; while those who may want them as
souvenirs do not have to send to Wash
ington for them. Preparations for the
Inauguration ceremonies are being carried
forward with the determination to make
them memorable. The Baltimore &
Ohio, as the olny direct line from the west
into Washington, has extended every fac
ility fothe executive and other committees
in SC shaping matters as bring about ON
plete success in every particular. The B.
Il o. has announced the lowest rates ever
made for an Inauguration, in most in
tances less than half-fare for the round
trip, with a limit on the tickets of the
most satisfactory length. By the B. &
O.'s recently put on fast train schedule,
its noted limited trains make the run
through to Washington, from all points,
from one to six hours quicker han any of
the limited trains on other lines. Not a
nickel extra is charged for the fast time,
which is directly to the contrary Of the
rule followed by other lines with their
limited trains, for upon them double fare
is the only way one can travel, and must
take sleeping cars through, whether
wishing so to do or not On the B. & o.
one exercises the good old American GUS
tom Of going as he pleases. Trains run
through solid, no change of cars of any
class, and pay only for what is asked for,
not a cent more, no matter what may
be the custom on other lines. All these
things are well worth considering before
starting.

ounce the expected death OF Frankie
Thompson Roberts, the midget who
gave birth yesterday to a male child
weighing seven and a half pounds. The
child died soon after it birth, and the
mother is reported to be very low.
Charles O. Roberts, her husband, is a
vocalist, is above the medium size, and
formerly a member of Hayerly's minstrel
company. His wife is thirty inches in
height and weighs forty pounds. Less
than a year sgo the two were married here
and appeared here last about FIVE months
ago. According to Mr.. Kohl and Mr..
Buckley Of the Clark-streef Museum.
female midgets are addicted TO marrying
~hull-grown men. and even men of extra
ordinary size They say, also, that such
unions when fruitful nearly always result
in the death Of the mother, the offspring
generally being the usual size. The result
is sometimes the same when two mideets
marry. as was not long ago Illustrated by
the death Of the midget wife of Major
Little6nger, Fanny Burdette, who married
a side show man named Bristol, gave
birth to achild weighing nine pounds, and
survived, though the child died.
