secretary Manning improving.

WAsmNGroN, March 2G.--The son of
Secretory Manning said to an Associated
Press reporter, at II O'Clock to-day, that
the condition of his father remained prac.
tlcally unchanged. The doctors had in
formed him that his father was passing
through critical stage of disease, and
every hour passed without indication of
unfavorabe symptoms was so much
progress towards recovery. The family
all realized, however, that he was in a
critical condition and not entirely out of
danger.
DIR. Hamilton said to-day It could
be hardly said that Secretary Manning's
condition this morning was the same as
it was yesterday There was tempo
rary improvement last evening, but 1t
was certain his condition to-day showed
no Improvement since yesterday 1t is
learned from other sources that the sec
re tary passed a restless night with more
or less fever, and that as consequence
he was weaker this morning Rumors
regarding the prospective change in the
head of the treasury department arise,
probably, from the general impression
that Mr.. Manning will never resume the
duties of that office, even in the event of
his complete restoration to health.

CLIFTON, TEX, March 2G.--At about 2
O'Clock this morning the alarm of fire was
given, when it was discovered that corn
crib of Col. f. M. Kell's, containing five
or six hundred bushels of corn, was in a
blaze, which resulted in almost com
plete loss and no insurance The origin
of the fire is not known, but points
strongly towards incendiarism, as the
flames when first noticed were emauating
from two places near the bottom of the
crib where holes in the house gave oppor-
tunity for ignition.

WHITE WRIGHT, TEX, March 20
About $50 this afternoon our quiet little
village was thrown into a state Of con-
sternation and confusion by most
shocking murder, which occurred on the
base bail grounds in town A difficulty
arose between W. f. Simmons and s. T
Waltham about the game. AS usual in
such cases, harsh words and then the en-
counter. Simmons stabbed WaItham
twice, once in or neer the heart, and once
in the back as Waltham was attempting
TO run, the last stroke taking effect Ia the
lung, and Waltham died fifty minutes
otter. The particulars are yet to be
developed by the evidence. The uDfor-
tunate parties are both young men, Sim
mons about eighteen years old and
Waltham about seventeen. While we re-
greet to chronicle this sad affair, we are
glad it is the first in the history OF our
town, as we have ever had the reputation
OF being law-abiding people. The pre-
liminary trial will take place tomorrow,
after which we will give full account.
