Convention-Gen. Townsend's
Letter,

Getting Ready for the Fort Worth
ConVention-Gen. ToWnsend's
Letter.
The Southwestern Immigration
society are moving directly and judi
ciously in the matter of proper repre-
sentation at the Fort Worth meeting,
and in the general matters pertaining
to the work of the association as well.
Correspondence in Secretary Gregory's
hands from the Fort Worth board of
trade in reference to the proposed con-
vention, and kilograms to Colorado,
abundantly evidence the work of the
immigration society in behalf of
proper representation of the deep wa
| ter interests of Arkansas Pass, as far as
that society is concerned. Matters are
in progress which will insure all that
can be accomplished through this Or
ganization, and the improvement COM
mittee. VIM. Heuermann, president
of the Board of Trade, is actively in
teresting himself. in this matter and
giving his personal attention thereto.
1t is quite likely that a mass
meeting of our citizens will be called
soon to give expression to public feel
ing and emphasis to the work carried
on through the immigration Society
and the Board of Trade.
While in the rooms of the Immigra-
ton Society the LIGHT was shown a
communication from the office of the
general passenger and ticket agent
of the Missouri Pacific, at st. Louis,
bearing signature H. G. Townsend, in
which, while assuring Secretary
Gregory that II will always esteem it
a part of my duty to assist the work of
the association of which your are
representative" he say:
"Our people are largely interested
in working immigration to Texas; and
feel quite sure that the International
and Great Northern, too, will do all
they can to encourage the movement.
1 have written Mr.. J. E. Galbraith,
general passenger and ticket agent of
that road, at Palestine, Texas, in re-
gard to the transportation of your
sample of products, and have no doubt
that he would be glad to arrange for
the same. Please let me know if there
is anything more that can do in re-
gard to this NATTER
The LIGHT takes sincere gratifica-
ton in presenting this communication
as evidencing that the interest in
southwestern immigration movements
is alive and extending to quarters
where that interest will avail us. AL
so in noting the active interest taken
to properly represent Arkansas Pass OH
the part of this city at Fort Worth on
yhe 10th of July.

Colored Family Poisoned.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, June o.
Yesterday, near this city, a colored
man named George Deans, his three
little children, and another child
named Annie Godfrey, ate breakfast,
and soon afterwards all were taken
violently sick. Physicians were sum-
moned who came to the conclusion
they had been poisoned. Two of the
children died during the afternoon.
Deans and his other child are in a
critical condition. The Godfrey child
will recover. Deans wife ate no
breakfast, and seems perfectly indif-
ferent as to the results.

FRYING INTO SECRETS.
1t Is Said That Joe Opened her Let
ter and Read it and Then Re-
addrnSSad If

addressed it.
Joe Sullivan was arrested upon the
affidavit of Post Office Inspector,
Royal, charging that he received a
letter addressed to Miss M. Lott, at
Runge, Texas, and did open the said
letter with view to pry into other
peoples secrets, and did embezzle the
said letter. This morning the &C
cused was brought before Uuited
States Commissioner Stevenson, to
answer the. said charge. The main
witness was George A. Barefield,
who deposed that in the beginning
of April, 1888, at Refugio, Texas, she
wrote to Miss Lott, addressing the
letter in pencil and posted the said
letter at Refugio. Joe Sullivan re-
ceived the letter, and handed it to
Ellen Sullivan, his sister-in-law
who gave it to her father, Henry Pot
ter, with whom Miss Lott boards, and
he delivered it to the address. 1t was
then found that the envelope was
stamped, but the stamp was not can
celled and it bore no postmark; subse-
quent enquiry showed that the letter
was delivered in different envelope
to that in which it was mailed.
Several witnesses were examined
and the case was still under hearing
when the reporter left.

Editor LIGHT:
1t has been publicly charged that it
was I who circulated the petition in
behalf of democratic candidate,
County,.
Although am young politician (?)
yet I am not a member of the
County Executive Committee (repub-
lican), and most emphatically deny
that 1 had anything whatever to do
with it, although was offered the
petition to carry around, but indig-
nantly refused it. 1t was true I
made a sort of fight on the dele
gate from the 10th District -
L confess 1 was beaten - but
"convince man against his will, he
is of the same opinion STILL" I am now
for Harrison and Morton and when
the time comes for work will try and
do more for the good of the G.. O.P.
than many can with barrel. 1t is
certainly too hot for a man to bother
himselfwith county politics now when
so much more is at stake, and don't
want any FREE WOOL in mine.
Yours truly,
E. L. WARRINGTON.

Mrs. Swisher drove all the way from
her residence in Austin to San Anto-

New Braunfels. When near San
Marcos her horse was scared by a
passing train. She got down from
the vehicle to pacify it, when it broke
away and left her. After some trouble
she secured the services of colored
man who rounded up the horse, and
after a delay of half day she was
able to proceed on her journey.

A FIEND IN THE TOLLS,
A Murderer Gone Back to Answer
for his Heinious Crime.


Deputy Sheriff Wilton, of Lincoln
county, Nebraska, passed througt che
city yesterday en- route from Califor-
MIA to Nebraska, having in custody
William Demars. From the meagre
facts that could be obtained it appears
that William and Mary Fulton, re-
siding near Stanton, Nebraska, were
murdered at the end of last year, and
the latter was outraged. A consider
able sum of money was also stolen at
the same time. Demars decamped on
the day following the murder, and
since then almost conclusive proof has
been found that he is the murderer.
He was traced to holding near Mon
roeville, California, and there arrested.
At first he denied his identity, but
on search being made, part of the
stolen property and several hun
dred dollars were found ON his per-
son. Then he broke down, admitted
his guilt and agreed to accompany the
officers to Nebraska without formal
extradition. 1t is feared that he will
be lynched ON arrival in Nebraska,
and especial steps are being taken to
prevent that contingency of his crime.

No Irish Need Apply,

About week ago a large healthy

needed and refused him work. But it
was only a short time afterwards a
sickly looking little Aztec, with his
pocket full of cigarette papers, came
along and asked for job and was at
once put to work. Why this distinc-
