to take the deadly drug this evening.
Their names were Cora Lloyd and
Maggie Calvin, of this place. When

terfeit Ticket.
The Jonesites, or the independents
(self-styled) are preparing to work n
fraud on the voters of McLennon
county. A fraud which should be
scorned by these Immediately pure(?)
gentlemen who pretend to be so much
better than Coke, Mills, Ross, Bonner
and Maxey. Under the superinten-
dence and direction of their central
committee, they are printing, and
have printed, election tickets which
they propose to shove off on unsus-
pecting democrats. These tickets are
being printed in Waco. and are made
out for McLennan, Falls, Bell, Lime
stone and Milan counties. They are
labeled democratic Ticket" and at
the top have printed in large type,
the names OF Grover Cleveland for
president, and Allen G. Thurman for
vice-president. The rest of the ticket
contains the electors, state ticket
county ticket and precinct ticket i'm
small type. All the names are regu-
lar democratric nominees, except con-
gresham, and there instead of Roger
@. Mills appears the name of E. A.
Jones in small type, sandwitched be-
tween Judge White of the court of
appeals, and judges Dickinson
and Rice. If no fraud was intend
ed, why was this ticket not labelled
Independent, Anti Mills, or Home
Market; but it is intended to be
palmed off as the straight democratic
ticket. Voters, be careful, and read
your ticket clear through. Do not
permit yourselves to be defrauded of
your ballot by such a trick as this.

General Horace Portrr's very interesting g
article on .sRailway Passenger Travel" in
ScTiBHeT's for September, discuss the
dvveloPmeR; Of railway travel in a most
entertaining style. He regards the vesti
bule train as the highest point reached in
securing the perfection of comfort and
safety TO the passenger. Alter detailing
the progressive steps by which the yesti-
bule was reached, hc says -
This invention. which was patented in
1857, succeeded not only in supplying the
means OF cOnstructing perfectly enclosed
yestIbule 0f handsome architectural ap-
Pe4rauce between the cars, but it accom-
plishgd y bat l. even still more important,
the Introduction OF a safety appliance more
valuable than any yet devised for the pro-
lection 70 human life in case of collisions.
The elastic diaPhrsguls, winch are attached
10 the ends Of the cars, have steel frames,
the faces or bearing sur. aces Of which are
pressed firmly against each o, her by power
full spiral spTiugs, which create 4 friction
firmly in position, prevent the oscillation
OF the car-, and turnisned 4 hu Her extend
ing from the platform TO the roof, which
precluds the possibility of one platform
riding the other, and producing telescOp-
ing in case OF collision. The first of the
yestibuied trains went Into service on the
Pennsylvania Railroad in June, 1886, and
they are rapidly being adopted by railway
companies. The vestibule limited trains
contain several sleeping cars, dining car,
and a car fitted Up with smoking saloon,
library with books, desks, and writing
materials, bah room, and Il barber shop.
With free circulation of air throughout
the train, tho cars opening into each other
the electric light, the many other increased
comforts and conyeniencss oduced, the
steam-heatiug apparatus, avoiding the
necessity OF using fires, the fast speed, and
the absence Of stops at meal stations, this
train is the acme of safe and luxurio US
travel. An ordinary passenger travels in
a. priBee.y a style IN these cars as any
