COLORADO'S
Excursion TO Texas via the Pan
handle Route.

The Denver, Texas 4 Fort Worth rail-
road have announced an excursion to
Texas leaving Denver in the morning and
Pueblo at noon, on Saturday, May II, to
JOIN in the grand celebration and dedica-
ton of their magnificent State Capitol
and attend the grand military encamp-
ment at Austin during the week May il
to 70.
Austin, the capital city of the Lone
Star State, is a beautiful city of twenty
seven thousand inhabitants, and is laid
out resembling Washington City in its
general plan and characteristics while for
beauty of location and natural surround
lngs 1t far surpasses the National Capital
City.
The new Capitol building is said to be
the most imposing granite edifice in the
United States OF this character, and was
erected at the enormous cost of nearly
ten millions of dollars. The grandeur Of
this occasion and the event which it ccle-
brates will mark an era that will pass into
the historic annals of the state.
The State of Texas, in the month of
May, is clothed in her most luxuriant
Garb, and a trip from Colorado through
the Panhandle promises a pleasure to res
ldents OF the mountain region quite as
unique and enjoyable as our grand scenery
will be to the host Of our Southern friends
whom we expect to visit us this coming
summer.
The attractions promised during the
week at Austin are of the most brilliant
and interesting character. In addition to
the DEDICATION exercises and grand parade
there will be a grand military encamp-
ment, comprising all Of the sixty regi-
ments of the Texas Volunteer State
Guard, which will be augmented by at
least twenty-five more from other states.
Gilmore's world renowned band of
eighty pieces have been specially engaged
and will be accompanied by famous vocal
lists and present the distinguishing fea-
lures of the Boston jubilee, viz: the
cannon and anvil accompaniment to the
national airs. There will also be a series
OF base ball games by eminent profession
al clubs and an attractive regatta on the
Colorado river in full view of the en-
campment grounds. There will be grand
full dress balls given in the House of
Representatives and Senate Chamber of
the new Capitol, while the entire week
will be devoted to fetes, festivals, fire
works and brilliant extravagances that
will ever be remembered by those who
participate.
\ most cordial welcome is rendered to
residents of Colorado by the Texans, who
lately joined us in celebrating the open
ing of the line that now offers a return
excursion to all who desire to avail them
selves OF a low rate of fare for the round
trip.

Hanged by Enraged Citizens.

CHEYENNE WELLS, Colo, April H.
The town was thrown into a furore this
afternoon by the arrival of Deputy Sheriff
Jerry Barnes from Burlington with
Franklin Baker, the murderer of L. B.
Mcconnell and John G. Morrison, men
toned in the Republican dispatches of
yesterday. The sheriff and his prisoners
were followed to town by fifty citizens of
Burlington, all fully armed and deter
mined to take the murderer from the
officer. Sheriff Barnes took possession
of the depot, and at the entrance nobly
stood off the mob single-handed, against
the infatuated citizens until - o'clock to-
night when a rush was made.
The gun of the sheriff was beaten down
and the prisoner was delivered. The
mob Immediately took Baker to the coal
chute a few hundred feet away and
hanged him. The greatest excitement
prevailed and the feeling against the
murderer was bitter in the extreme. The
young men whom Baker killed were
highly respected and had many friends
who had formerly preceded them here
from Iowa. The sheriff deserves great
ceedit for the manly stand he made
against the mob.

A Wedding.

New York, April ia Philadelphia
special to the evening Telegram says: At
last it is settled that Secretary Bayard is
to marry Mrs. Folsom, the mother-in-law
of President Cleveland. A rumor to this
effect was published several months ago
and then denied. | have Just seen rela-
tives of the secretary of state and while
they do not with their names published
they are willing to have the announcement
made. The wedding will come off some
time in June. 1t is c%onfdentially settled
that the day will probably be June 9, the
anniversary of President Cleveland's mar
riage to Miss Francis Folsom.
OF course there is much rejoicing over
this prospective marriage among the aris-
%tocratic members of Mr.. Bayard's his
toric family. On the other hand Mrs.
Folsom is the most approachable and
gracious of women. Like her daughter,
Mrs. Cleveland, she is a woman of great
tact and amiability. She is bright, vi
~vacious and fascinating. Mrs. Folsom is
the widow of the late Oscar Folsom, the
former law partner of President Cleve-
land. He was killed at Grand Island in
1865, by being thrown from a buggy while
the horse was running away.

NEW YORK, April l7.-Conkling died
at l;50 a. III.
Mr.. Conkling died in the rear chamber
on the second floor of his residence. 1T
was a dreadful struggle that the patient
fought against death" said Judge Cox,
but the end was peaceful and unaccom
panied by pain" His sorrowing wife
aud daughter were weeping at his side.
Mrs. Conkling and daughter both bore up
b~ravely, but his wife was almost prostrat-
ed. Mrs. Oakman supported her mother.
The ashen pallor deepened upon the
emaciated face, Mr.. Conkling gasped
three or four times and passed away. In
death the lines about the mouth and on
the face we're slightly drawn. He was
much emaciated, but still in death the
face seemed natural.
Immediately after death Judge Cox
and DR.. Anderson left the house. No
arrangements can be made tonight for
the funeral. The arrangements will be
definitely settled when Mrs. Conkling be-
comes more composed. Judge Cox said
that in death Conkling's mouth was
slightly opened as though he had died
with a gasp. Mrs. Conkling is alone
with Ter daughter and is completely
Frustrated with grief.
LATER-The interment will be at Utica.

In conclusion, he said the bill was a
very moderate one, yet it would send
comfort and happiness into all the homes
and bosoms Of the poor laboring people of
this country, and he asked the house, in
behalf OF these people, to consider their
claims and help reduce the burdens that
had been loaded upon them.
Mills spoke about an hour and three
quarters, and as he took his seat he was
surrounded by a crowd of Democratic
members who pressed forward to tender
congratulations
Kelly of Pennsylvania, next took the
tioor IN opposition to the bill. He said
the enactment would paralyze the enter.
prise and energy of the people, over
throw our manufacturing supremacy and
reduce our commanding commercial posi-
ton to colonial. 1t was studiously de.
signed to produce these dire results and
nicely adapted for its purpose. 1t was
contessedly a partisan measure and was
framed in the interest of the party whose
leaders appeared to be obliyious to the
overwhelming social and economic
changes wrought by the abolition of
slavery. The gentlemen who framed this
bill and could brook neither modification
nor discussion of its provisions by their
associates in the committee we're with but
two exceptions representatives of what
was slave territory. The bill was an anach-
ronism. 1t had no relation to this era, it
belonged to the sadest epoch in our national
| history.

VIII Try 1t Again.

WASHINGTON, April l7.--Chairman
Blanchard of the house committee on
rivers and harbors says he has discovered
the secret Of the opposition which sud.
denly developed and defeated the river
and harbor bill yesterday. He declares a
large number OF Republican representa-
tives held a caucus or secret meeting and
resolved to oppose the passage of the
river and harbor bill as a means of OBJ
structing the passage of the tariff bill.
They calculated the friends of the former
bill would be forced to defend it, even to
the extent OF ~antagonizing tariff legisla-
ton. Blanchard expects another effort
will be made to pass the river and harbor
bill in a week or two, when further OBJ
structive tactics are looked for, but he de-
clares he, for one, will not be driven to
antagonize the tariff bill.

A New Gunboat.

PHILADELPHIA, April l7.-William
lCramp & Sons ship and engine build
ing company have nearly completed a
dynamite cruiser gunboat called the
Yorktown, designed for the United States
navy. 1t will be launched on Saturday,
April Is, in the presence of Secretary
Whitney. 1t carries four pneumatic runs
for the hurting of dynamite projectiles,
each with a range of at least at mile.
The training Of the guns is accomplished
by steering the vessel, and the loading is
all done by steam. The guns are of
fifteen inch calibre, and shells, which can
be fired with great accuracy twice a
minute, will contain 600 pounds of ex-
plOsive gelative, equivalent to S52 pounds
of dynamite or 943 pounds of gun cotton.
1t is claimed that this gun, properly
handled, will be the most destructive en-
glne of war yet invented, for the heaviest
armored ships in the world will go all to
pieces from the explosion of a shell much
smaller than those thrown by the guns on
the Yorktown.

The People Disguised.

PARIS, April Small crowds collect
ed in various portions of Paris last night
cheering for Gen. Boulanger. The police
dispersed them without any trouble.
The Journal Des DebatS says the cleo
ton of Gen. Boulanger in the department
of the Nord shows the country is wearied
out and profoundly Disguised with the
conduct and policy OF the government.
The majority of the electors, it says, can
no longer endure a government which
does not govern, but leaves the country a
prey to the vacillations and dissentions of
politicians and the tyranny Of ell ctoral
committees.
The Opportunists attempted to hold a
conference at Bordeaux last evening, but
were disturbed by supporters Of Gen.
Boulanger and were compelled to sus-
pend proceedings.

No Chance for a Quarrel.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE state
department has received no information
IN regard to the hosting of the British
flag over the Christmas, Tanning and
Penrhyn islands. The United States lay
claim to but one island in the Pacific
ocean, which is held by right of dlscov-
cry. 1t is stated, therefore, that if the
British have taken possession of the
aforementioned islands the government
u no more than protest, even if their
occupation was worth this effort.
1t is stated that correspondence be-
tween this country and Germany relative
to the seizure of the Samoan islands still
continues. The chances are that if the
Germans do not move out of their own
accord, the American government will
take no active steps to dispossess them.
