avoided talking current politics.

said he should not run away on that ac-
count. He may have been little sur
prised, but certainly appeared in no wise
disturbed.

TIE GLENN REWARD.
The Hearing Continued by the Commits
sIoners Yesterday.

The hearing by the County Commits
sioners in the matter OF the conflicting
claims for the reward offered by the
county for the murderers OF Joe Glenn
has consumed considerable time, and is
not yet finished. The Board yesterday
heard all the evidence presented by the
different claimants, which was recorded
in short hand by Steuographer Rheiu-
strom. Then the attorneys in the case,
Capt. DOvener, Mr.. Russell and Mr..
James, Of Newark, argued the questions
involved. including The legality OF pay.
ing reward to u Sheriff or similar Off
Ger OF the law for doing his duty, and
the Board, about @ o'clock last evening,
adjourned until next Monday, so that
the stenographer might write out the
testimony for use in considering the
matter.
It's thought that in al! probability
the reward will finally be divided. Then
the city's reward is to be disposed Of,
and there may be some litigation over
the matter after it is decided by the
County Board and Council.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. ls.-Dispatches from
Texas say that the miners OF the Texas
4 Pacific Coal Company in Erath
county have been on a strike for a
month past, and that they are becoming
quite unruly. On last Friday night
some new men were attacked and badly
beaten, and there was a constant firing
OF guns and pistols between the strikers
and the new men nearly all night, but
no serious casualties are reported. The
offices and storehouse OF the company
were riddled with bullets. The sheriff
and posse were on the ground, but the
force was inadequate to protect life and
property aud the Governor had been
appealed to. At last accounts the sheritts
OF adjoining counties had been ordered
to the scene Of the conflict and q com.
pany of state rangers will probably be
sent there.

SPRiSGFiEtD, Mo-, Dec. lS.-A second
attempt to wreck the Texas express train
on the st. Louis & San Francisco
Railroad was made at o'clock this
morning ut Lyman station, four miles
east OF the city. The switch bolts were
removed, the rails spread to throw the
trim over m embankment, but the
switch target was left in its proper con-
dtion. Fortunately for the two hun.
dred people on the train wild engine
WAS running ahead and this plunged
through the switch at q forty-mile speed.
The engine was demOlishedand the rails
torn up for quarter Of mile. The
fireman, with a broken ankle dragged
himself back for more than mile and
Tagged the train, saving it from destruc-
ton. There is no clue to the perpetra-
tors OF the diabolical deed, but they are
evidently the same who attempted TO
wreck the st. Louis mail train few
DAYS ago.

Deal That VIII Make some of tho Dig
Clubs Howl With Eavy.
BUFFALO, Dec, lS.-The directors OF
Buffalo base ball club at meeting held
at noon to-day effected deal that will
thrill through the base ball world.
Buffalo once before figured in a base
ball sensation that excited every patron
of the game from Maine to California.
That was at the time the Detroits bought
the "Biy Four" and the whole club with
them, but this time, however, Buffalo
gets the big end Of the stick and the
best half Of the big four itself into the
bargain. Jack Rowe and jim White, OF
last years Detroits, have bought a ma
iority stock of the Buffalo base ball club
and will hereafter control it. Among
important business transacted, after the
deal had been effected, was the election
of jim White to the presidency OF the
club and Jack Rowe to the vice presi-
leucy. The directors who have been
figuring for this result were delighted.
1t will make some Of the big clubs howl,
for White was wanted by half q dozen OF
them and Rowe was to go to Pittsburgh.
