The Mineral Wells Tragedy.

MINERAL WELLS, April cl.-l Special.
The examining trial of young Bell,
Sam. and Frank Glenn, for the murder
of Green Rowsey, on the evening of the
18th instant, is now in progress, and in
all probability will continue for the
next two or three days. The parties ac-
cused of the murder, IA we'll as the
years old, and it is sad commentary
on the the teaching of the young men,
as the evidence goes to show that the
murder was premeditated, and Rll the
details OF preparing for the occasion by
buying cartridges tor their pistol, whet-
ting up their knives, aud laying
the plot were gone through before com
mitting the fatal deed. The circum-
stances of the killing, as near as the
HERALD correspondent can learn, are:
There had been some bad blood between
the deceased and the two Glenn boys
for some time past, and on Friday night
tho Glenns came TO the front door OF
MiXon's saloon, where deceased was
engaged in the capacity of general
roust-about, and calling him TO the door,
attempted to provoke a difficulty there,
but Mr.. Nixon, who was near by,
calIGl Jp9 DOy III inc uOOr, ana thereby
prevented a difficulty at that time,
but on the following evening, between
and s O'Clock, the same two boys, in
company with young Bell, came first
to the front door of the saloon, and dis
covering their victim was in, they re.
paired to the back door and called him
out and renewed the difficulty. Young
Bell plunged his knife into Rowser
twice, once into his heart and once into
the lower lobe of the lett lung. Rowser
ran into the front door of the saloon,
and some gentlemen near by, seeing
he was badly hurt, carried
him to Dr.. Rains office,
where he died within 10
minutes. There is but little sympathy
for the boys who committed the deed,
and if they only had few more years
added to their experience there would
have been q tirst-class hanging, with
out judge or jury, ia this otherwise
quiet little city.

Waco Local Notes.

WACO, April 2l.-Special. San Ja'
cinto day had enthusiastic observance
here, albeit summer showers interfered
to some extent with the programme of
exercises. The fire department, students
and literary societies of Waco univer
sity, temperance councils, ETC., turned
out in procession, and marched to Pad
gitt's park, where there were several adj
dresses delivered by DR.. BurlesoD and
others. Four of the survivors of san
Jacinto battle were present-one of
them being the venerable Maj. Geo. B.
Erath, who lives in this city.
United States Circuit Judge Don A.
Pardee will arrive tonight and hold
court tomorrow, in coniuction with
Judge Mccormick.
The religious and temperance element
here is getting up a petition to the city
council, praying that no change be
made in the existing Sunday law. This
is in opposition to the late move made
by the retail liquor dealers for modi-
fled and less religious Sunday law.

BLOOMINGTON, I'LL, April 2l.--
John III. Oberly, chairman OF the
Democratic state central commit
toe, has received letter from
Postmaster-G General Villas. Complaint
was made to Mr.. Oberly by the
Democratic leaders at Aurora, that o. 3.
Knickerbocker, the postmaster at that
place, was an active and offensive Re-
publican, and charges were made
against him by Thomas O'DOnnell,
chairman of the city committee of
Aurora, to the same effect. The letter
Mr., Oberly forwarded to Mr.. Villas, who
replied that the charges would be con-
siderod as soon as the condition of the
business of the department, with a
proper regard to regular order, would
permit. He says vast amount of busi-
ness of the department, necessitating
the most careful attention, and appoint
ments to fill vacancies already eX-
listing, may delay for some time the
consideration OF a. case of this natures
The proper conducting Of public inter-
esJs is superior in iln pOIpdACe 10 speedy
reliet against offensive appointments.
Mr.. Villas further adds that when the
charges showing the postmaster to be
an offensive and active partisan in his
office, shall be sustained, they shall re-
ceive due and satisfactory consideration
consistent with public business and the
interests of the service.

to enter upon legislation upon any sub
ject that lie opposes, the chairman Of
that committee can prevent action by
calling up an appropriation bill, which,
having precedence, must be considered
to Che exclusion Of others Thus he is
virtually the master OF the house, and no
Roadway can be made against his will.
Thus Mr. Randall prevented consdcra-
ton Of the Morrison bin for a long time,
and when, finally, by dextroas handling,
1t was got past him, he had his forces SO
well organized that, with the Repub-
lican., he was able 20 defeat It by three
or four majority.
The scheme Of reform contempIates the
allotment Of the appropriations to those
committees which deal with the subjects
which the appropriations are in support

the army, instead OF going TO general
appropriations committee, will be consld-
cred and disposed of by the committee on
military affairs, the Indian bill to the
