ness OF buying and selling real estate in the
District may be eligible to membership. Elec-
ton to membership is by the board, and two

lar meetings are to be held on the second Mon

ately after showing him the property. Any
member may give the refusal OF his own prop
erty, but before doing SO shall notify the clerk
OF the time for which the refusal is given. Any

THEN PoIsoNs HIMSELF.


THEN PoIsoNs HIMSELF.
ST. LOUIS, October PA dispatch from
Fredericksburg. Tex, reports a shocking occur
renee which took place In that town on Satur-
day. The dispatch says: For few months there
has been trouble in regard TO school matters i'm
several school precincts OF this county, and
some teachers have been suspended or dis.
missed. One OF them, Charles LANCE, lately a
teacher At the South Grape school, felt himself
aggrved, and retsaliated by denouncing his
supposed enemies in the neighboring papers.
saturday afternoon he called upon County
Judge VIM. Wahrmund In relation to his sus-
pension. The judge invited him to go with him
TO his Office in the court house. when he would
show him the papers in the case. While thus
engaged LANCE used some violent Ian
guage, when Judge Wahrmund arose, and
saying he wanted no further trouble
with him, started to leave his Office.
In an instant Lange, with q cooked revolver In
one hand and q vial In the other, exclaimed:
"fou shall never leave this room alive. will
shoot you and poison myself" He fired, COM
ing close to his intended victim, who succeeded
in escaping from the room, though the would.
be murderer fired q second shot. This also
failed to harm the judge. After this LANCE took
the poison and left Judge Wahrmund made q
complaint against LANCE for assault with in-
tent TO kill. The warrant OF arrest was issued
and the arrest promptly made. When brought
before q justice and asked whether he desired
the services of q lawyer, he answered: "No, and
in hour / will want neither q lawyer nor
DOCTOR" He then laid down on the door, aud
in few minutes expired.

Mexican Affair.".

THE PROPOSED RECIPROCITY TREATY-A MORE
HOPEFUL FEELING In COMMERCIAL CIRCLES.
CITY OF MEXICO, October 27.-The Mexican
Ffnancier, in an editorial on the projected reci-
procity treaty between Mexico and the Unted
States, expresses the opinion that its ratifica-
ton would result more decidedly TO the adyan-
tage of the United States than to Mexico; that
about the only article OF Mexican production
which would be brought into competition with
American products Is the beef of northern
Mexico, the hemp of Yucatan. and tobacco.
Sugar and coffee, IL holds, would not he mate
rally affected for some time. The chief gain to
Mexico, IL claims, would be given Ia the INDUS
tries mentioned.
The renewed agitation OF the tariff question
has had the effect OF making merchants careful
to keep imports down To bare necessities, but "a
more cheerful feeling pervades the entire mer-
camille community since Senior Dubean, minis
ter OF finance, has co-operated with the cham
Der OF commerce. A committee has under con-
sideration plan for reducing the tariff In Q
manner to effect a general reduction OF duties.
Another cause OF the more hopeful feeling is
the renewed Of the subsidy to the National
bank, which will now resume operations and
make loans TO embarrassed merchants who
have been compelled to forego banking accom-
modations since June. The government is also
considering plan for taxing rural property, n
measure which would tend 10 enforce sales of
land now held in immense estates. This the
government hopes TO effect, and then TO enter
upon q systematic plan OF colonization.

Mr. Purvis' Purpose I'm Seeing the
President.

IT WAS NOT IN REFERENCE TO APPOINTING A
SUCCESSOR TO RECORDER DOUGLASS.
To the Editor of The EVENING STAR
You printed in your issue of saturday an in
terview which q reporter OF the Philadelphia
Press is said to have had with Mr.. Robert Pur-
Wis, of Philadelphia.
AS the statement in the Press is misleading
desire to correct the impression the reporter
seeks to convey. Mr.. Purvis did not come to
this city for the purpose Of seeing the President
G
ness. He did call upon the President to pay his
respects, and to urge upon him TO embrace the
golden opportunity and throttle the spirit of
slavery which daily manifests itself In opposi-
ton to the cOlured citizen; to crystalize the
noble sentiments expressed In his inaugural by
full and complete recognition of the colored
man in his official appointments. He urged
that If colored men who held positions of honor
to be removed, they should be succeeded by
cOored men. He was not content TO have their
recognition confined to the few places now filled
by them; he hoped to see the President take
coored voters could be found dividing them
selves conscientiousty among any and all politi-
Cal parties. He cid not mention Mr.. Douglass
name to the President, nor did he file any
papers with him. He did speak to the Presi-
dent in reference to q colored young man who
is worthy OF recognition, and left with him
letter he had received giving a sketch of the
young mans lite and showing what had been
his educational advantages.
Mr.. PurviS has been an independent republi-
can as far as the politics Of the city of Philadel
phia Is concerned. He earnestly espoused the
ence in making him mayor. By SO doing he
not only assisted i'm Kidding the city of corrupt
rings, but he secured for the cOlOred citizens a
recognition in the way of appointments such as
they never had received under republican rule
He is still member of Committee of One
Hundred" In other respects he is q republican
for any office. nor would he accept Of one under
any circumstances. e. B. PURvIs.
