Social Entertainment at the Cap

 ttal.
 Social entertainment in WasbinetOn differs from any other city in the coun- try. on account of the cosmopolitan character of the people who reside iD the capitol city, and the interests that is shown in all they say and do. In DO city are there so many elements that can be combined to make social features of life brilliant and pleasant. Every state sends her representative men and women; all nations send theirs. And whil. the title of ambassador Is not heard among the diplomats, it makes no difference m the personnel of the minister, wno must be men of the highest character to sustain the dignity of their countries Ministers who have distinguished themselves in the diplomatic service of this country have been promoted to the title of ambsssa- dor, and transferred to places less pleas ing to them than the republic of Amer ica.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The democratic convention has met, performed the bidding of a man who is greater than the party, and adjourned The programme, as outlined by the asso- ciated press dispatches several days pre- vious to the convention, was p' city closely followed. Whatever the platform they have adopted, they have nominated a pronounced free trader as their stand ard bearer, and the issue between the two parties will be fought on that line. It IS reported that England will send a large campaign fund to this country to assist Tn the election of Cleveland and his free trade ideas, but with all the wealth that England may use, and with all the campaign money of the demo- cratic party, we seriously doubt if Grover Cleveland can be elected president. This doubt is based on the intelligence Of the American voters, and we do not believe that they can be hoodwinked into voting against their own interests. by support. ing free trade doctrine. which can only
 mean for them, in time, reduction to a condition bordering on serfdom, as now experienced by European wage workers. It is an indisputable fact that there IS no country on the globe where wage work CTS are as we'll paid as they are in the United States. There IS no country where the laboring class has amassed the property that is owned by them in the United States. This has been done un- der our protective system. Whether !' IS admitted to be due to 1t or not, we do not believe that the labCrlng classes
 are willing to accept ,he sophlstrles oi
 free trade argument and surrender an S. tab,shed condition of affairs for theO. |

Il Northern Syndicate Feeling Around for
Encouragement.
Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEX. Dec. IA number
of Galveston capitalists met in the di-
rectors' room of the Cotton Exchange
this afternoon for the purpose of hearing
proposition of J. II Martin of Chicago
who claims to represent Northern syn
dictate with ample capital which con-
templates the construction of an air line
standard gauge railway from Galveston
to Laredo, including the building of an
iron bridge connecting Galveston Island
with the mainland. Mr.. Martin prefaced
MS remarks by stating that the
syndicate did not ask Galveston
to aid in building the bridge
or railway, but wanted to ascertain what
encouragement the Galveston people
would accord an enterprise projected for
the purpose of charging their CONNER
cial field. Mr.. Martin submitted plans
of single track railway and wagon
bridge combined, which he
stated could be built for
$3.50 900. Colonel Moody inquired if
Galveston should build the bridge would
the syndicate be willing to guarantee the
construction of the railway from Calves
ton to Laredo. Mr.. Martin said he
thought they most assuredly would. COL
onel Moody said: HWe will put it in
this shape. We will let your
company build the bridge, and
agree to pay you its actual cost
and take it off your hands as soon as you
complete the road between Galveston
and Laredo. How would your company
entertain such proposition?'
Mr.. Martin replied that while not au-
thorized to enter into a contract he
thought the syndicate would readily ac-
cede to such an arrangement After
further discussion the above idea was
tacitly agreed on as the basis upon which
Galveston would be willing to stand.
Martin was requested to prepare and sub
init further and more definite data as to
the actual and specific cost of a double !
railway and wagon bridge combined con-
structed at or near the location of the
present railway bridges.

The Capture of Thomas Booth.

4
On Tuesday morning last, Sheriff
Reid arrived on the morning train
with Thomas Booth and placed him
safely in jail. He captured him in
Winn parish, in this State. Booth it
will be remembered, is the man who
killed John Heneberry and VIM. Conk-
ling, and wounded John Pittman and
Frank AsweIl, on December 25th, 1889.
The circumstances which were related
at the time, are as follows: A dance
party ON Christmas night was held at
Frank Aswell's house, near Gil's store,
about fifteen miles north of town. A
quarrel ensued from some cause. when
Booth jerked his pistol and fired six
shots into the crowd. John Heneberry
was killed almost Instantly, and Conk-
ling died shortly afterward. Pttman
was shot through the body and Aswell
had an arm broken, the two latter re-
covered from their wounds. Booth
was arrested, but trial was put off and
he was out on bond until during the
court term in May, 1884, when he
skipped out, leaving his bon dsmen to
pay the bond
Booth was born in Mississippi. but
moved to Louisiana several years ago
with his fathers family. Since his
escape, he says, he has travelled over
almost every Southern State, but could
not remain long in place, as Sheriff
Reid was always locating him and he
would have to move; at one time be
came within half an hour Of him.
From his statement and appearance lie
has seen pretty rough times.
