1t is not possible to sympathize with the
members of the Cigarmakers' International
Union who are full of Indignation and wrath
against the Progressive Union men for trying
to arrange a compromise with their employers
in the matter of prices. Back of the Pro-
gressives are their families, and altogether
they number about 1000 souls. Is there any
reason why these people should suffer hard

The Senate Railroad Committee went bravely
to work Yesterday to ferret out the truth con-
corning the Broadway franchise scandal. 1t
did not learn tauch. but developed an immense
amount of ignorance on the part OF W. Ii.
Hays, director in the Broadway and Seventh
Avenue Railway Company, and trustee for a
million and half of bonds of the new Broad
way line, which the other company guaranteed.
Mr. Hays is undoubtedly the keeper of his
own conscience but his memory seems to be
entirely in charge of his legal advisers. The
committee in the course of its inquiry came up
against Jacob Sharp and naturally adjourned
until Monday SO as to be able to enter the
struggle with him fresh and bright.

In his disregard for law the Postmaster
General approaches the sublime. He put his
own Interpretation on the directions of Con-
gress in regard TO paying the American ocean
steamship lines; he has commissioned post
masters who the law commanded should not
be commissioned; and now he has coOlly
broken mail contract with Mississippi River
steamboat company, because he thought he
could get the service performed more cheapy.
Economy is indeed a beautiful thing; but it is
barely possible that the damages which the
steamboat company may recover for this per-
Torrance will make Mr.. Vilas's course any
thing but inexpensive. Sublime above the law
as the Postmaster General is, he should re-
member that there is only one step down to the
ridiculous, and that a Congressional investiga-
ton might make him take it.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I beg space in the
columns of your paper to let the
friends of A. w. Maxwell know
what became of him. A. w. Max
we'll came to Texas in September,
1883. He lived in Upsher county
eleven months and then went to the
western part of Texas and spent
the most of the time on a cattle
ranch up to last fall when he came
to Alvaraida and went to running
an engine on the NJ. & p. road and
proved TO be a first class man.
During the great strike on the
Gould system he left the railroad
and went to Taylor county on cat
tie ranch again and got into a diff
Guilty with Mexicans which ended
in his death. He was a native OF
Marshall county, Tenn. Maxwell
has brother by the name of Dan
Maxwell living there. His father
think he told me lived In Gle:
county. We can say that Texas
has never known a better or brave
man than A. w. Maxwell. II hi
friends and relatives wish to fine

Here we come again from Texas.
We don't make any pretensions to
being a writer but labor under the
impression that little Texas mix
ed with anything will make it "sor-
ter" readable, We came out here
in search of the ''honey pond and
fritter tree" but it is just a little
ahead of us yet. 1t is out in Crock
EFT county now in the shape OF 40
acres of land free to every actual
settler with 100 acres left for him
to purchase at the end of two years.
We would advise our friends to
tread lightly on this proposition as
it might turn out like the 40 acres
of land and the mule that Uncle
Sam promised to give the niger.
The rainy season has commenced
here. We haye had very back
ward spring. All who planted corn
in February had to plant over.
We commenced to plant cotton the
9th inst. The paach crop is unusu-
ally heavy. Peaches are larger
than partridge eggs.
We scrape out a hole here or
build a dam across a ravine and
call it "tapk" to hold water for
stock. Some farmers are turning
their attention to fish tenks. There
is one in this county covering ten
acres of ground. 1t is owned by a
company of men. Your correspon-
dent lives Is miles from Corsicana,
the countryside of Navarro county,
and can plainly see the electric light
from the tower in that city. The
tower is 125 feet high.
This country is noted for its
long horned cattle. 1t is easy to
distinguish a black land steer from
a sandy land one, The black land
steer naturally has to hold his tail
little higher than the sandy land
one in order to keep the waxy mud
from "balling up" on the end of his
tail.
Your readers have often
heard of tarantulas and centipedes
and perhaps they would like to know
how they look. The tarantula is
nothing more than a large spider
with very bright eyes and when sit
ting with its feet and legs spread
will cover as mach ground as a
large saucer. Its bite is said to be
as poisonous as that of the rattle
snake: The centipede resembles
what is commonly known in Ten
nessee as the Thousand legs" each
leg has poisonous point and the
flesh that it crawls over will decay
in short time.

A Terrible Accident Remarka-
bly, Averted.
How a Woman Saved a Rail-
road Accident.

A most marvellous escape from what |
might have been serious disaster is
reported from California. 1t seems that
Mary Carlin, a female detective in the
employ of the anti-Chinese association,
while watching some Celestials who
were suspected of placing Instructions
on the railroad track, saw them stop by |
eharp curve in the road and go
through some mysterious motions with
a small piece of board to which three
short upright pegs were attached. On
one of the uprights number OF rings
were placed, and the Chinaman appear
ed to be making some calculations,
moving the rings backward and for
ward in mystifS ing manner, from one
peg to another, and stopping occasion
ally as if greatly puzzled. Suddenly
dispute arose and the female detective
was Mortified to see one of the China
men, since identified as Bah Yung, stab
his comrade who evidently expired i'm
mediately. Startled by this unexpect.
ed denouement, Mary CarliD, concealed
behind heavy growth of underbush,
made movement which reached the
ears of the quick-witted Celestial who
Immediately fled. Going to the side of
the PROSTATE man, the female detective
saw that he was not dead. One of his
hands rested on the curious affair above
mentioned and he seemed to be making
a desperate attempt to move one of the
rings. She bent over him and heard
him murmur, "The Mikado. 1t is great
The MIkadow Then he died. Her Gu
riosity greatly excited, the woman took
I the wooden affair from the dead mans
, hand and inVoluntarily commenced
: moving the rings from one peg to an
other and became so absorbed that she
I forgot all about what had happened
She had unconsciously walked little
!. ways up the track while thus engaged
= when suddenly the whistle of the loco
motive burst on her ears. Looking VI
she saw the train few hundred yard
" ahead and the track right in front o
;, her torn up. She Immediately tore of
!, her cloak, which for the first time sh
perceived was red with the Chinaman'
. blood, and waved it wildly. Fortunate
ly the engineer saw it and brought tn

u its being derailed and in all probabilit
most serious accident. The woma
$ quickly told her story, and on lookin
10 under the mysterious affair they saw
n labeled "The Mikado Puzzle, the great
I'd est puzzle of the century,"

A Song OF Gratitude.

In olden times, Bethesda's pool
Was famed for healing ali diseases;
Once plunged beneath its waters cool,
Each evil, stain and sickness ceases.
In modern days we find a cure,
Of worth as rare, as much deserving;
A remedy safe, quick and sure,
DR.. Richmond's SAMARITAN NERvINE.
For Epilepsy, Spasms, Fevers, Coles, Cramps
Coughs, Colds, or any kind of Phthysic;
Its merit as a leader stamps
1t far above all other physics.
1t goes at once right to the spot
Where turks the danger, never swerving,
In all the world perhaps there's not
A cure like DR.. Riehmondis NERvISE.
As in the blood diseases lie;
Each artery, each vein, each curve in;
There's nothing makes i'll humor fly,
Like the SAMARITAN NERvINE.
For old or young, fo+ rich or poor,
Whatever class of life you serve in,
To health wide open is the door,
From the SANARITAS NERvIEE.
Then. do you value strength and health,
And think these blessings worth preserving,
Better than all Golconda's weslth,
is DR.. Richmond's SAMARITAN NERvnE,
Grigsby sells it.

United States district court during the
trial of John II. Aufdemorte and E.

several years ago by statement made
by Sheppard in a sketch of his life
which he gave to the jury. Sheppard
said: "When / was II years of age
was employed i'll cOunterfeiting estab-
lishment at the corner OF Cont and
Marais streets. This establishment was
owned and operated, among others, by
Charles II. Leonard, recently mayor OF
Galveston, and one of the wealthiest
and most prominent citizens of that
city. Interested with him in this nefa-
rious business were the then mayor of
New Orleans, city officials, chief of po-
| lice, Judges and limbs of the law. The
| then Judge of the criminal court for the
! parish of Orleans was a partner in the
/ establishment, as also a certain promi-
nent lawyer who now occupies judge
ship in Baltimore These people were
engaged in cOunterfeiting Mexican
coin, United States bills and moneys OF
every description. The Mexican mon
ev was manufactured downstairs and
the United States notes were turned
out upstairs. My position was that o.
messenger for the establishment, and al
such [ delivered the counterfeit money
to the banks of the city and high Off
Gals. Thousands and thousands of dol.
lars of this character of money was
manufactured and circulated here and
elsewhere throughout this country and
Mexico. 1t was while in the employ oil
this establishment that l became &C.
came acquainted with the art OF coun-
terfeiting. Many of the people engag.
ed in the business of counterfeiting il
the times to which allude have left
behind sons and daughters who move in
the highest responsibility, For thi;
reason do not propose 10 make known
the names of the people for whom
first worked in the counterfeiting bust
ness. All my life it has been my mis-
fortune to suffer for and to bear the
brunt OF other peoples misdeeds. My

sacrifice"
