WACO, Tx, Oct. 26.--Ex Policemen
Frank Lowry, who was arrested at Alva-
RADIO night before last, arrived In Waco
at II O'Clock last night. The details OF
his arrest were given in TnE GAzETTE
yesterday, but briefly, The arrest was
made at Alvarsdo while Lowry was en-
route for Waco, by City Marshal
POff OF Alvarado, who said he
was acting on information given him by
Constable Mosely Of Alvarado. Mosely
said be was noting under instructions Of
Sheriff Boyd Of Johnson county, at Gle
burne. Sheriff Boyd denied having any
thing TO do with the arrest, and told Low
ry to go home. The charge that was
made against Lowry was that be was I'M
plicated In the burglary OF Volney Rob
inson's safe at Cleburne on September
20. Lowry established the fact
that on that date he was in Waco, en-
gagged Ia 500 miles walking matchi that
he is now In the employ Of the Missouri
Pacific railroad, TO look after brick-work
along their line between Waco and Fort
Worth, and that he was IN Fort Worth
Monday on business with the rail-
road. He says the arrest II due to
the personal animoslty of Constable
Mosely OF Alvarado, between whom and
himself a kindly feeling does not exist.
His theory Is that Mosely aimed to put
him 10 personal annoyance and expense,
and make bin lose his JOB with the rail-
road company. He says he will sue
Mosely for false imprisonment, and II
nothing can be made out OF MOsely he
thinks he can get 1t out Of the sureties on
the constable's bond. Lowry's Waco
friends have been congratulating him to-
day on his vindiCation.
The closing quarterly conference, for
1886, OF the Fifth street M. Il. Church
South, was held last night, and several
matters Of interest TO the congregation
and community received attention. Per-
haps the most important piece Of work
was the formal decision 90 purchase
ground and erect thereon another church
aud parsonage. This step Is warranted,
indeed rendered necessary by the growth
Of the city and steady increase OF mem
berShip Of the congregation Of the pres.
emit church. Some families have to
traverse too great distance to attend
church services, and the idea Is TO build
up churches In different portions OF the
city, and thus accommodate the people
who live rather remote from the present
church edifire. Conference meets In
Lampasas next month, and the bishop
VIII be asked TO assign minister to the
new church. The ground Is virtually
selected now, and the building will be
ready for use by the beginning Of the new
year; perhaps earlier
