George Il. Newton.

At l0;4b yesterday morulDg the noble
spirit OF George r. Newton, cashier Of
the City National bank, took Its flight
into the realms OF the unknown. just
thirty short days ago an attack OF typhoid
fever compelled him To dcsist from his
daily duties, TO which he never
returned. In the prime Of Il vigorous
manhood, his friends could not believe
that his Illness would terminate fatally,
Yet the HAT had been spoken and George
r. Newton was doomed TO drop out from
re ranks OF the busy aud earnest throng
among whom he labored carrying the
love and confidence Of oil.
In his death Fort Worth has lost a
worthy citizen, the bank q valuable
officer and his family a devoted husband
aud father. Quiet and unobtrusiye, Mr.,
Newton moved about ia the daily walks
OF his life without osteDtaiion, but true
aud genial, and those who knew him
best loved him mos. In all the relations
OF life he was a good man and true, and
what prouder epltaph can be engraved
upon the tomb OF any man1 To those
who mourn loving father and tender
husband, THE GAZETTE would offer no
consolation--lt cannot, Words are but
hollow seemingsto hearts that mourn, and
only God and time can bring healing and
solace TO bruised spirits. But he was a
man In all that makes the word and this
can be their reflection, that others feel
their weight Of woe at loss Of such a man,
George Newton IL dead, but he is remem-
bered, aud remembered as u man who did
no evil TO live after him.

How a Cabinet Omoer w as Induced to Pay
for Picture.

How Cabinet Ofiioer Was Induced TO Pay
for Picture.
Washington Letter in New York World.
heard good story the other day
about cabinet officers experience
with a foreign-born artist who came to
Washington last year for the purpose Of
painting portraits of distinguished peo-
pie. This artist adopted the usual tactics
of the visiting members of his
profession. He secured first a
distinguished subject, and from the
influence Of the first sitter he
obtained other orders. His first sitter
was very prominent naval officer.
During TIE course Of the summer he OBJ
tanned an order from the wife of rich but
not heterogeneous member OF the cabinet,
The portrait was a water-color IL was
deemed satisfactory by the sitter and by
all the members Of the family
except the distinguished cabi-
net officer. He came into the
artists studio one day and rudely asked
which one OF the portraits on the wall was
that OF his wife, pretending that he could
not discover It, When II was pointed out
to him he said that 1t did not bear the
least resemblance to her and that no one
in the world would know without previ-
GUS information for whom it was
painted. He then declined to
take or pay for the picture and
left the studio. The wife OF the
cabinet member called on the artist the
next day and apologlzed for her hus-
bands action, saying that he would come
around all right in time. The artist
waited patiently all summer while the
cabinet officer was away on his vacation.
He even waited several weeks after his
return to the city, Not hearing anything
from him on the subject OF the
picture he wrote him letter the
other day in which he said that
the portrait was still In his hands, and
that as the cabinet officer was OF tie
opinion that no one could recognize 1t he
was going to dispose Of 1t as an ideal
head unless the family wished to purchase
IL. He said that he was about to send II
TO a Richmond Arm, who would use II in
the Autograph advertisements OF a
new brand of cigarettes. He felt
it is his duty before selling this
ideal head TO give the cabinet officer an
opportnnity OF buying 1t. This letter
brought the cabinet officer again to the
artists studio. The former was furious
and threatened the artist with terrible pun
ishmept for his blackguard letter. The
artist suggested to him that ne knew OF
no law that he had violated and ne was
welcome to do his worst. the
cabinet official then tired 10
fear down the picture ana
destroy it, but was checked by the artist
A violent scene followed. But the caol-
net minister yielded in the end ne
ordered the picture sent to his house. !.
was sent there, but not turned over until
the cash, $3.50, was paid. II now adoras

Special to the Gazette,
GALVESTON, TEX, Nov l6-The Strand
in the vicinity of the custom-h house was
startled at noon to-day by tremendous
explosion, which shook the buildings for
squares. A keg Of powder in the gun
store Of w. X. Hughes & Co, between
fremont and Twenty-secoud streets, be-
came iguited in some mysterious manner
and exploded. One of the clerks, Victor
Cortinas, was loading cartridges at the
time, and the accident occurred at his
table. He was badly hurt He
ran out the rear lend Of the store, his
hair and garments ablaze. Alderman
Hughes, with great presence Of mind,
saved the boys life by pouring a bucket
of water on him. CortInss was carried
home bleeding terribly about the head
and neck. The store room was wrecked.
Every pane of glass about the building
was blown to million pieces. The
shelving and partition were blown down.
The fire department responded, and for
time considerable excitement prevailed.
The loss will probably exceed $1,000.
LATER-CortiDas, the clerk who was
loading cartridges when the explosion
occurred, is injured worse than at first
supposed. A piece OF one cartridge
shell entered near the base of the nose,
making an ugly wound. Another piece
cut his neck terribly. 1t required some

severed parts. The doctors think he will

THE PACKING-HOUsE TROUBLES.

CHICAGO, LII, Nov l6-The pro-
gramme Of yesterday was repeated at the
stock yards to-day. The superintendent
representing the various packers met the
assembled workmen at points designated
in the order and selected such as

To-day more OF the old workmen were
taken in than on yesterday. Perhaps
40 ger cent OF the employees engaged In
the strike are now back within the pack

morning as before TO clear
the viaducts and stop those
at the entrance who were
nor wanted. There was no resistance and
very little bad feeling. Very many OF the
old butchers taken back are stuboornly
