Gov. Ireland's Failure to Appoint q

and Delay.

special TO the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, Jan. S.--"What the d--l
does Gov Ireland mean by holding back
the appointment OF Judge for this dis
trict?" has been the remark made by sew
eral lawyers here to-day. 1t was con-
fidently anticipated that the mail train
which arrived from Austin at O'Clock
this morning would bring a commission
for somebody, but the coveted document
didn't come. Districtgcourt opens at
Marlin tomorrow morning and, as there
is no regular judge, 1t is sup
posed the bar will elect a
special judge and 20 ahead with
the business OF the court. The
district has been without judge for sew
eral days. and In any contingency requir-
ing the action of district Judge resort
must necessarily be made to the judge in
some adjacent district, entaiIing loss of
dime, expense and Inconvenience.
The Examiner this morning, comparing
the gubernatorial aspirations of Swain
and Ross, alludes to Swain's alleged will
lingness to use the rangers to enforce the
lease law, and says the proposition
"strikes the average Texan who
remembers Davis and his Claver-
house dragons with chill the
reverse OF pleasant. This is
(using state police to enforce a civil pro-
cess just what Swain and the land board
propose to do.n Swain's willingness TO
thus use the rangers is also compared
with De Trobriand's dispersal Of the
louisiana legislature at the point of the
bayonet. The Examiner is booming the
Ross boom very diligently.
During the month of December con-
ductors on the three railroads entering
Waco registered ll05 trains as follows

the Texas & st. Louis railroad gives no.
tice that all annual passes over that road
issued for 1885 win be honofeJ until the
10th inst, and for trips started on that
day. All other passes will be taken up
the day they expire.

The Calaboosc Set on Fire by Prisoner
and Burned-Married.
Special to the Gazette.
LoNGvIEw, TEX, Jan. "a lonesome
prisoner in the calaboose set fire to that
elegant structure last night, and as the
wind was rapidly rising the glare of its
flames and thelhre-bells' clang created a
tumult throughout the city. The doors
were opened, the fire quenched and the
prisoner made his escape. The citizens
retired, the officers recaptured their pris-
onel and took him to the jail, and they
too retired. About this morning the
supposed eStiDguished fire broke out
afresh, and Iva the midst of furious gale,
driving the binding snow in their faces,
the people were again reused from their
beds by the red glare of the flames and
the ringing OF the bells The situation of
the building, although it is now burned
to the ground, is too close to the bust
ness houses, and necessarily caused, un-
der the circumstances, much alarm for
the safety OF the city; and when it is
known that Longyiew, with population
OF $500, has nothing, not even ladder,
with which TO oppose this terrible ele-
ment, their fears are we'll grounded.
Should fire break out In its present con-
dition, and a heavy wind blowing, Long
view would be wiped from the face of the
earth, and these small fires are terribly
suggestive OF this result unless something
is soon done to prevent It..
Mr. l.. u. Lowrey OF Tyler and Miss
Emma Motley, one of Longvlew's most

Judges have the necessary qualifications
