The Texas river is an institution that il
peculiarly Texan. In the southern p0r-
ton Of the State many Of the rivers and
streams manage to get along during the
summer with very little water. Near FL
Paso it has frequently occurred that the
natives have n.3 to dig wells in the dry
beds Of the Rio Crarie in order to get
drinking water For many miles the
river bed was as dr. a ,vo volumes of
Congressional Record.

were deep enough to float the Great Eae-

Considerable excitement has been c.-
caaioned at MinneoIa by the trouble over
the dam Of A. Guano, situated between
thirty and forty miles from that place at
the foot Of a chain Of lakes. The resi-
dents claimed that the back water over
flowed their lands and caused them a
great deal Of damage. Upon a complaint
being made to him, the owner lowered
the dam one foot, but this did not seem
to obviate the trouble Accordingly, q
party Of fully thirty, fully armed with
rifles, etc, drove to Mr.. Guano's and de
manded that he should lower the dam
still more, which he refused to do The
party then went 70 the dam and dug
around one side of it, SO that their object
Of drainage was fully accomplished.
The entire party has been held in 1000
bail each for their appearance at tbe
October term Of the court for Sumter
county.

MARK TWAIN'S WAY.



/ Kansas City Times.
The Rev. J. Hyatt Smith knows more
stories about more people than ten av-
erage citizens. among them he relates
/ this: When was living with my broth
er in Buffalo, Mark Twain occupied q
house across the street. We didn't see
very much Of him, but one morning as
We were enjoying our cigars on the We
randa after breakfast, we saw Mark
come to his doors in his dressing gown
and slippers and looked over at US. He
stood at his door and smoked for a min
ute, as if making up his mind about
something, and at last opened his gate
and came lounging across the street.
There was an Unoccupied roching-chair
on the vcranda, and when my brother
offered it to him he smoked for a few
moments and said:
Nice morning..
"Yes, very pleasant
''ShouIdn't wonder if We had rain by
and by"
'WcII, we could stand little"
THAT is nice house you hav. h.r"."
Yes, We rather like L.
CLOVIS your family
quite weli-and yours"
20, we're all comfortable"
There was another impressive silence,
and finally Mark Twain crossed his Leg.
blew puff of smoke into their air. and
in his lazy drawl remarked: II suppose
you're little surprised to see me over
here so early. Fact is, I haven't been So
neighborly, perhaps, as l ought to be-
We must mend that state Of ghings. But
this morning l came over because 1
thought you might bcinterested in know
ing that your roof is on fire. 1t struck
me that it would be good idea if"
But at the mention of fire the whole
family busted upstairs, trailing language
all the way up. When we had put the
fire out and had returned to the reranda
Mark wasn't there.

Business SIEErINc.-A meeting of bust
ness men and others feeling an interest in
the raising OF the endowment fund neces-
sary to acceptance Of Mrs. Crocker's gift, is
to be held to-day at p. NJ, at W P. Cole
mans office The cost of the Croker art
gallery has been stated al $4,000. 4
gentleman situated to know, yesterday
stated that to his knowledge it cost a great
deal more than that-nearly third more,
while thep paintings very much exceeded the
| figure of 100000 heretofore placed upon
them-indeed by quite twice as much.
BoDY REcovEREp.-The body of Calipto
Baras, son of j J. Baras, who was drowned
nearly two weeks ago by falling into the
river near the foot of r street, while hitch
| ing his boat, was found floating near Free
port yesterday morning. Coroner Clark
| was notified and went down and brought il
| to the city. An inquest was held in thecase
| last evening, but nothing new was devel-
| oped, nor anything to show that the drown
| ing was not accidental.
ALARM OF FrRE.-At 1:15 this morning
an alarm of fire was turned in from boz

cred in the clothing store of ii. Marks, or

their services were not required, as the
small fire which created the smoke was
put out without the aid of water The

EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN In the report of the
Fire Commissioners, published in the
RECORD UNION, the Chief Engineer of the
Fire Department recommends that the
wires of the tire-alarm system be placed in
underground conduits instead of on poles in
the air.
Now in all England there is about l0C
miles of iron piping for underground wires
and about 5000 miles of wire. In the foggy
damp atmosphere of London, and where
the air is filled with smoke and particles OF
matter that, settling in the fog, produce a
coating or scale over the surface of exposed
wire and its inSulators there is a great deal
of leakage of the electric current and
more perfect insulation is necessity. But
in the comparatively dry atmosphere of our
city the air line insulation may be made al
most perfect. In cities like London and
Paris, where the population is so dense and
the amount of service wires required SC
great, il becomes also matter of necessity
to remove the wires from the house-tops OF
along the streets. Paris utilizes the sewers
by stretching the wires along in wooden
troughs In London the average cost OF
laying down cast-iron socket pipe for un-
ground wires, conducting wire fol
underground lines and drawing the same
through the pipes is about $3.50 per mile
or 81, 80 of our money. As our system
consists of nearly twenty miles OF wire
the total cost, according to London prices
of material and labor, would be $4,000
which apprehend we are not able to stand
at this time.
There should be some ordinance passed
with reference to the wires stretched ovel
our streets, now rapidly growing i'll num-
Der Ali main lines should be restricted to
the alleys, and should be confined TO poles
OF uniform hight The city might erect
the poles, and require all wires to run on
such poles, and each person so using the
poles pay q pro rata sum for the privilege
The fire-alarm wires should be erected or
separate poles, at least five feet above every
other wire, so there could be no possible
contact Of wires. Skeleton poles could be
erected on house tops, as done in New York
city, so that they do not injure the roof Oh
walls.
The wires that now stretch over the city
in every direction are most unseemly II
appearance, and some of them are so low
that n load of hay could scarcely pass under
| them. Some of the fire alarm wires ar
tied to tiimsy insulators, and are not uni
| form in size or material, and in many in
stances it is impossible to distinguish be
| tween telephone line and fire alarm wire
| in some places less than foot of space
separates the different wires, 4 fault tina
should be rectified. ELECTRO
