serpent, are not thought of. The right OF
| the mothers and fathers of the State to
ask protection, in the removal OF great
and dangerous temptation from the rising
generation, is passed over to consult the
stomachof such men as Senator Vance, who
openly announces that conscience is made
subordinate to appetite. No more impor-

We stated in a paragraph several week
ago that Mr.. E. G. Bruffey, formerly of
Harrisonburg, and reporter on the At

was so telegraphed to the country, in
which Mr. B. was mentioned as ''distin-
guishedu member of the feportorial staff.
1t turns out that Mr.. Bruffy is still alive
and kicking. and that the report of his
death was an awkward canard, to test the
estimate in which he was held by his
brothers of the press. From Atlanta pa
pers we have received, the reporters are
leading Mr.. B. a gay life about the affair,
and exposing, with cruel sarcasm, the nice
little trick.

West of Jacksboro aud Judge Carroll Of
Denton, the Northwest railroad missiona-
ries, left for Fort Worth to-day, highly
pleased with their financial eyangelizlng
among Dallas capitalists. They say they
have assurances from local projectors of
the Gulf & Pacific that II the Eastern par

on the Gulf & Pacific within the next ten
days, they will withdraw from the
enterprise ard annex their efforts and
their financial aid to the fortunes Of the
new scheme TO build from Denton to
Jacksboro. Neither of the gentlemen
appear to be very sanguine Of the success
Of the Gulf s. Pacific. "Hope deferred

looks now like certainty for Dallas,

A Celebrated Stallion Dies on the Atlantic
While EN- Route to America.

NEW YORK, Dec, 23.-The steamship
Lake Superior, which left Liverpool De.
cember II arrived in this port yesterday
having on board the English stallion
Rotherhill, consigned to ID. Swygert of
the Elmendorf stock-farm, Kentucky There
were other animals on the vessel, but
the one in which American turfmen took
the most interest was not among the
number. This was King Craft, Lord
Falmouth's first derby winner, recently
purchased by Swygert to take the place
of his imported stallion Prince Charley,
which died nearly two months ago. King
Craft was seemingly in good health when
he was shipped, but begun ailing soon
after the vessel WAS on It's way and when
six days out the horse died and was
thrown overheard. King Craft was bay
colt, foaled in 1867, bred by Lord Fal-
mouths gelding, King Tom, out OF Wood
craft by Yoltiguer.

The city attorney gave an opinion on
the water meter question last night and
1t is to the effect that tn company was
obliged to furnish meters for consumers,
but recommended that the mayor CORE
spond with the superintendent of the
water works concerning the matter, and
try to adjust the affair satisfactorily. The
water company claim that the franchise
was submitted to the ablest lawyers in
Texas ana New York before 1t was &C
cepted by them, and the opinion was that
they had right to compel consumers
to pay meter rental or furnish
their own meter. If the council should
do as IL has been minated it would do,
in the event the company insists upon
charging for meters, refuse to pay by
drant rental, 1t would release the com
pany from furnishing water TO the city, II
which event there would be no fire pro
lection, as the company would undoubt
eddy shut the supply off, and would mo-
turn it on again without a new contract
in the making of which the city would bt
at the mercy of the water company. 1t II
thought, however, that the matter will
be amica9ly arranged without serious
trouble.

VERDICT or THE coRoNER's JURY.
Special to the Gazette,
PILOT POINT, TEX, Dec, 23,-Ed Rus
sell, and not Skinner, who was mortally
wounded, as reported by your Gainesville
correspondent this morning, died night
before last at his mothers residence four
miles south of this city His remains
were brought here to-day for burial Yes
terday q coroner's inquest was com.
menced, VIII ch was concluded to-day.
Tie following is the verdict rendered:
We, the jury summoned to diligently
inquire into the cause, manner, time and
circumstances of the death of Ed Russell,
do find that on the night of December 90,
1856, he received wound that caused his
death In the house of Fletcher King, in
Cooke county, Texas, by pistol shot in
the hands of Marion Skinner, and died of
said wound in Denton county, Texas, on
the night of December 81, 1886
The report Of the attempt TO lynch any
one was without an foundation.
ONE VERSION OF THE AFFRAY.
Special TO the Gazette,
GAINESVILLE, TEX, Dec. 29.-THE
GAZETTE correspondent was incorrect last
night in his statement of the shooting
near Pilot Poirt on Monday night. Sher-
III Ware has returned from the scene and
reports that Russell was the party killed,
and Skinner the man who did the killing.
1t seems that after the quarrel about pay
ing the fiddler, Russell started home with
)me friends, but turned and came back
and with an oath said he would make
Skinner pay the money or kill him. When
he reached the house few words passed,
when both drew pistols and commenced
shooting. Skinner was shot in the
right arm and Russell In the body and an
kle The ball in the body entered on the
right side and ranged diagonally across
the body, passing out about two inches to
the left of the spinal column. He lived
about twenty-four hours. Skinner sur
rendered to Deputy Sheriff Bond. The
preliminary examination, which was be-
gun yestt rday, was continued until Janu-
airy 8, and his bond fixed at $1,000. II is
said that Russell was the aggressor, and
while 1t Is feared trouble will ensue be-
tween the two families, the rumor that
Russell's friends would attempt to lynch
Skinner has proven unfounded.
