WACO, TEX, Nov. G.-EX-Mayor Moore
of Whitney, Hill county, and II. II. Say
ers, ESD, also of Whitney, are here this
evening to see Joseph II. White of Bra
lillian counterfeiting fame. The United
States grand jury at st. Louis indicted
White yesterday, and he will go there for
trial unless Judge Mccormick can be in
duced to have the venue changed to
Waco. Whites counsel have made ap-
plication TO Judge Mccormick to have
the venue lie here, but have not received
any reply yet. The gentlemen from
Whitney are here to see about making
Whites bond, which will be $4,000. They
will return home tomorrow and return
at once with the sureties if it is decided
TO make the bond now. They say that
parties can be found in Hill county will
ing to 90 bail for White.
Late this evening the counsel for the
defense received telegram from United
States District Attorney Bliss, agreeing
to postpone Whites trial to the March
term, 1886, of the United States court at
St. Louis, provided Whites lawyers will
not oppose the removal of the prisoner to
st. Louis then, or have him tried here in
the meantime. This proposition is now
under consideration, and if adopted,
White will make his bond at once. 1t
may be stated, however, that Whites
counsel do not relish the proposition and
may decline it.
The cotton weighers and buyers here
have had trouble lately about paying
storage on cotton left in the wcighers'
yards after being weighed. The weigh
ers demand fifteen cents a bale storage,
which the buyers refused to pay. Then
the weighers refused to weigh or receive
cotton. The buyers responded by renting
yards and employing other weighers, and
thus the matter stands this evening. 1t
is supposed that the regular weighers
will have to give in to the buyers.
The stables ut the driving park are fill

people promises to be very large, ON ac-
count OF the stock display, for which the
premiums are liberal and numerous.
