WASHINGTON, April 20 -Notwitn stand.
Ing the declaration of the chairman OF
the Democratic national committee, who
declares that he is In harmony with the
administration, Cleveland leaders
here are skeptical. The race between
Bernum and Cleveland is the tsrin. The
former is not inclined to engage in the
management OF the campaign, In view OF
the Presidents message and the Mills
bill, and politicians are already arrang-
ing for q successor to the craftsmanship
of the national Democratic Committee.
1t is generally conceded thst represents
tive William L. Scott of Pennsylvania
will be the man. The Presi-
dent has intimated that Mr.. Scott
has already rented an Office
and opened bureau here ostensibly for
the manipulation of Psnnsylvsois politics,
but really 1t is said, with view to as
suming the management Of the national
campaign. He will busy himself and his
clerks with Pennsylvania and adjoining
states until after tine St. Louis conven
ton. II selected chairman Of the national
convention, as his friends expect, and the
President evidently intends, he will then
turn himself loose In earnest as Demo
cratic campaign manager.

DALLAS

a Shooting Rcrapa-Boomsrs Returned
From Denver.
Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX, April 2s.-The Denver
excursionists returned this morning after
an absence of one week. They are well
pleased with their trip and are confident
of having accomplished much good.
They speak in glowing terms Of Dsnver's
hospitality.
A shooting scrspe occurred at the old
fair grounds In East Dallas this morning,
in which John Wilbon and Morris Hay
wood, two dxrkiee, were the principals.
The result was that Haywood WAS
wounded in the feshy part of the shoul-
der. The cflcers found Haywood and
jsiled him, but Wilbon Is still at large.
It seems that Haywood had some time ago
been guilty of illegal intimacy with Will
bon's wife, and Wilbon had warned Hsy.
wood that Dallas was not large enough
for them both. Last night Haywood
slept in the neighborhood of Wilbon's
home, and when he started to town this
morning the frst man he met WAS
wilbon, who wanted to know why
Haywood had dared to venture
in the neighborhood. Haywood gave his
explanation and WIlbon told him never to
appear there again, and that he must
leave Dallas for good within two days,
or that hs (Wilbor) would kill him. One
word brought on another, aud Wilbon,
losing his self control, shot Haywood in
the shoulder.
Hon. Barnett Gibbs has returned from
San Antonio.
An effort is being made to get Calm,
the slsyer of Benedict, out on bond. His
FRIENDS say that he will be released this

We travelled about thirty miles and

next morning. therefore determined to
drive the pain out of my body by means
of hot bath. took shovel and level
ed space of ground on the bank Of the
river about six feet long and three feet
wide. l then gathered some dry cotton
wood and willow poles, brush and such
other fuel as could fnd and built Are
on the charred patch of ground. When
the fire had burned down and the bed
Goals left had begun to die out 1 raked all
OF down to the ground. l then dug up
the ground to the depth of two or three
inches, throwing out all cobble stones and
sticks, when leveled it all down and
spread on 1t one OF my blankets. then COW
cred myself with the other blanket, tuck
ing In both head and heels. A hotter
bsth never experienced. A sort CT dry
vapsr poured up out OF the ground that
almost cooked ne. 1t poured up through
! the blanket in thousand streams and
had strong flavor Of mother earth. /
stood the heat an hour or two, then WAS
obliged to move to cooler quarters, when
cooled down by degrees IN order not to
take cold. The next morning swoke
without single pain or ache and as linn
Der as IN eel" Although no moisture
was perceptiole in the ground on which
built my frs, yet q certain degree o!
moisture seemed to come into 1t when
raked away the fire and began stirring up
the soil.
We were out in the mountains about q
month. While in the Humboldt range

on the little fat in which we were
csmped and gave him one Of my baths
he howled like coyote about the heat
He sWore he WAS being cooked alive and
1 had hard work to keep him under the
blankets for an hour. He would have
been out in spite OF me had I not handed
our guide, wild, raw Indian, q shotgun
and told him to shoot the msa il
he got up. The patient knew that the Ii.
dian WAS just big enough fool to shoot,
and so was obliged to confne himself &c
groans and bowls until took the gus
away from the Indian and relieved aim OF
his watch. The Indian was sulky the re-
msinder Of tie evening, as he did NO,
like Tom and hoped to have been allowed
to shoot. Tom never had the least sign
Of mountain fever during the remainder
OF the trip, and always after the expe.

rALLEsr TOWER IN TIE WORLD.

Paris will Build 1t and Have 1t Ready fol
Her Exposition In 1880
The plans for erecting an iron tower 97s
feet in height and weighing 1000 tons, tc
be completed for the Universal Exposi-
ton to be held in PARIS, France, in 1889,
have been adopted by the commission OF
public works of that city. Several plans
were submitted for inspection, but that
of M. G. Liffel, an engineer Of Levillois-
Perret Department of the Seine) was
the one which met with favor ana was
| accepted.
The t5wer will be made entirely Of iron,
and is formed of four columns, each 1926
feet apart at the base, inclining toward
each other and making at the height OF
$50 feet and inches, hence forming one
column to the summit.
One hundred and seventy-two feet from
the ground there will be landing in
which will be restaurants, cafes, etc.
Four elevators will take passengers from
the ground to the second story, q dis
lance of about 344 feet.
From that point up there will be only
two elevators. The summit may be
reached by elevator in six minutes.

leading to the first story for those who
desire to climb to it.
The four columns will require sixteen
foundations OF iron, weighing not less
than ten tons each, and will endure q
wind pressure Of about 500 pounds to the
square yard.
Tae tower Is expected to act the part OF
8 huge lightning rod during thunder
storms, but precautions will be taken that
no accidens occur from this fact to any
one who may be in 1t during storm.
From the summit Of the tower q piano.
ramic view of about 720 miles Will be

The following shows how the tower
will compare in height with other high
towers and monuments:
The Washington Monument is sGs feet;
Cathedral Of Cologne, 61e feet; Cathedral
Of Rouen, 4ss feet; Great Pyramid of
Egypt, Ala feet; Cathedral Of Strasburg,
46l feet; Cathedral of Vienna, 44s feet;
st. Peters at Rome, 42S feet; Tower Of
the Invalides, Paris, 382 feet; Pantheon,
Paris, 25e feet, and the tower OF Notre
Dame, Paris, 2l4 feet.
The Washington Monument, In this
country, ut present the highest in the
world, will, when the,tower Is completed,
be hardly more than ofa-haf as high as

Everybody with q weil-furnisbed house
Is trying to get a grandfsther's clock, one
of those tall sentinels that used to stand
in the Railways of the house of our ances-
tors. The genuine clocks have been
pretty we'll bought up by collectors in the
past few years, for agents have been sent
into those districts where they were like
ly to be found. Many were collected IL New
England and many more in the South
ern states. They were taken from attics
where they had been cast away to be re-
placed by modern clocks, Some are still
ID use in the families where they have
been for century. These old clocks
were taken to the collectors, who made
the necessary repairs and sold them for
exorbitant prices 10 those VINO wanted
them for interior decoration. The mech
snism was often worn out and had to be
replaced, but generally it was superior to
the works of modern clocks. Indeed, I
know of one clock thst has run

to the great-grandmohter of the presen.
owner. The wood Of these old clocks
were oak, mahogany and rosewood, and
had lasted well during the years OF it's
use. 1t was thought that this crszs for
old clocks would soon cease, but the de-
mand was not supplied, and has grown to
such an extent that they may soon be-
come as familiar IS hat-rscks. OF
course there were not enough
old clocks to be obtained to
supply the trade, aud . natural conse-
quence hiss followed. Manufacturers
make new clocks on the old plan, and one
furniture factory in Grand Rapids, Mich,
turns out great number from old wood
that looks as ancient as any of these old
clocks. These clocks sre beginning to
appear in art and furniture stores, but as
yet are within the reach Of the wealthy
only. One antique oak clock in q store
here is priced at $3.50. They range from
5000 to $1,000 in price. After 5 while
they will be cheaper.
