PARIS. Jan. lS.-The Repu6Lque
Franchise has Il telegram from Rome
which says that NJ. Flourens, French for
eign minister. has complained to Signor
Crispi, Italian foreign minister, of Italy's
delay in settling the Florence consulate
incident. and has warned Signor Crispi if
the Italian Judge at Florence executes his
threat to re-enter the French consulate
and seize the papers sought after, France
will recall her ambassador and take such
measures as the honor and interest of the
country demands. The incident men
toned consisted of a breach of consular
rights on the part of the Florence police,
who had searched the French consulate
for papers connected with a pending law
suit.
The strained relations with Italy in
consequence Of the Florence consulate
affair depressed both commercial and
financial business to-day. The bourse was
heavy. Several evening papers violently
attack Italy, and La France alludes to
Premier Crispi as "Bismarck's valet"
The French consul at Florence has re
ceived certain Instructions as to the course
to pursue in case the incident is pro-
longed. 1t is semi officially announced
that Count De Mouy. French ambassador
at Rome. having informed NJ. Flourens
that the proctor of Florence had intimat-
ed his intention to remove on Friday the
seals affixed by the French consulate to
the documents relating to the Husse sue.
c~ession, NJ. Flourens has requested
Count De Mouy to inform Signor Crispi
that if such act of violence is committed
the French government will hold Italy re-
sponsible.
Flourcns, the minister of foreign af-
fairs, anil Count Menabrea, Italian am
bassador. had a friendly interview this
evening. An early settlement of the
dispute over the Florence incident is GER

THROUGH THE ice.
Seven Persons Drowned in
Sand Lake, Tex.
Minnie Ray Rents Her Fathers
Cottage,
Spends the Money and Commits
Suicide.
Fatal Sport.

ENNIS, Tex, Jan. lS.-Seyen persons
were drowned to-day in Sand lake, about
ten miles cast of here. Two young
women, daughters of VIM. Williams, a
farmer, and a young man named Babbitt
were skating on the lake, when the ice
gave way and they sunk in four and one,
half feet of water. Miss Babbitt and
two little girls, aged s and IA years, also
daughters of VIM. Williams, who were
On the shore watching the sport, were
drowned in attempting to rescue their
friends. A very small child of Mr.. Will
liams also fell through the ice, but was
saved by one of the drowning young
ladies catching and throwing it out on the
ice. Young Williams, brother of the
young ladies drowned, was a quarter OF a
mile distant at his house. He saw the
the trouble and ran to the assistance OF
the unfortunates, but was soon over
powered by the struggles of those who
were drowning, and he, too, was drowned.
Mrs. Williams, his mother, made an eff
fort to save them all, but she was pulled
down, and would have met the fate OF
her children but for the timely aid Of her
two daughters, aged 10 and ~ years.
These children threw her a rope and sue.
ceeded in pulling her ashore.

Cleveland Endorsed.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. lS.-At a
meeting of the Democratic state central
committee, ID. Sanders of Philadelphia,
the candidate of Congressman Randall,
was defeated for chairman by Elliotte
kisner of Lnzerne county, who was put
forward by Congressman Scott. A large
number of prominent Democrats from all
parts of the state were present and partic-
ipated in the preliminary skirmish. An
executive committee, which consists of
w. A. Wallace, Samuel j. Randall, T..
b. Coke, j. Henry Cochrane, VIM. j..
Scott. VIM. McClelland and VIM. Mulch
Ter, was selected alter the contest. Con-
gresham Scott presented the following
resolution which was adopted after some
show Of opposition by Davis of Lancaster
and others:
Resolred, That this committee cordially
and emphatically endorses the admins
tration of President Cleveland. 1t has
been thoroughly true to the best interests
of the republic, and the peace and pros.
perity of the country are largely due to
its wise and benign policy, with respect to
both foreign and domestic matters. 1t
has reformed the civil service; abolished
useless offices; reduced the cost of gov
ernment; restored many millions of acres
of land to the public domain; made a
large reduction of the public debt; pre-
vented the importation of foreign pauper
labor under contract, and has wisely and
consistently endeavored to effect a reduc-
ton of the idle surplus in the treasury
and tighten the burden Of taxation borne
by the mass of the people. The line of
policy laid down in the last annual mes,
sage of the president for the revision and
reduction Of the war tariff especially COM
mcnds itself to us as a sure guarantee of
the prosperity to all classes of producers
and of that genuine and honest protection
to labor Sc long pretended, but never
vouchsafed by the monopolistic legisla-
ton of the so called Republican party.
We therefore avow without hesitation
our mistaken confidence in the wisdom,
courage and patriotism of President
Cleveland, and earnestly and hopefully
recommend his re election to the great
Office which he has so acceptably filed.

Minnie Ray suic1des.

DENVER, Jan. ia Colorado
Springs special to the Ncios says: Minnie
Ray, daughter of a prominent citizen of
this place, threw herself in front of the
Midland express, which passes neal the
house, at IL O'Clock last night. She
was instantly killed. Her head was
crushed and torn from her shoulders, and
her body was horribly mangled. She left
a letter to her parents saying she was a
great sinner, and bad rather die than
disgrace them. 1t is learned that she a
few days ago rented a cottage belonging
to her father for $50 and spent the money.
1t is thought this SO preyed upon her
mind that she concluded to take her life.
The cOroner's jury brought in verdict of
suicide while temporarily insane. The
girls parents are at present visiting in
New Mexico.

Several years before the introduction of
nitrous oxide gas all kinds of experiments
were tried to devise some method to cx-
tract teeth without pain. One plan was
the galvanic battery, or "lightning meth
cd, T." n copper wire being connected from
the battery to the forceps, which conveyed
ashock to the tooth, and was supposed to
prevent pain during the operation. Our
first patient, a robust, healthy man, whose
teeth were put in to stay wanted n
large molar extracted. The attachment
was made as usual. but the connecting
wire proved to be too short, and parted
just as the fOrccps grasped the tooth, OF
course disseminating the battery entirely.
The tooth came out after quite a struggle.
Our patient instantly left the chair and,
with u smile on his face, declared it to be
the greatest invention of the age, saying
he had not suffered the slightest pain. In
this case, at least, mind conquered matter.
On one occasion, after drawing q tooth
for n suffering, nervous patient, and,
naming the price, he said: "Nell, 1 hope
your charges arc high enough; DR.. -
the other day drew me all around tho
room and only charged mo O quarter"
Quite recently o lady from Il neighboring
town brought in n set of teeth on n gold
plato which she wanted to sell, saying,
with n sigh: $50 long as my dear hus-
band lived they were Of the greatest posi-
bic benefit to him; but, poor man, buried
him last week; he'll nave no moro use
for them. and l thought I could spend
tho money just now to good advantage. "
A Dung lady with n beautiful set of
natural teeth, perfectly sound, insisted
that largo cavities should be drilled in
each front tooth, in order, she said, .'to
show all the gold possible" She was
quite indignant at our refusal to accedo
to such an insane request. Hartford

SAN SABA. TEXAS, FRIDAY, AUGUST 3, 1855.

principal reasons for the prevail
ing incredulity as to the value of
Texls coal deposits, viz; The
generally entertained opinion that
the coal, wherever it exists, must
be found under exactly the same
circumstances; IN other words,
that if a workable coal seam was
discovered in any other locality in
the United States, say 100, 800, or
more or less feet below the sur
face of. or a under certain kind
Of rock, it must be found under
exactly the same material, at the
same or nearly the same depth,
etc, in every place in the United
States, which is an exceedingly
false conception of all geogonisti-
cal principles. Another reason is,
that many, We may say most of
the specimens analysed and tested
were taken from the upper, i'm
pure seams, frequently only few
feet from outcrops in creeks and
ravines, and consequently .decom-
posed and leached out, and thus
rendered unfit for use; not to men,
ton that until now there has been
no urgent necessity for developing
the home resources of coal; that in
many places where outcrops of
good coal can be found, the COM
munications are poor, and the
home demand hardly large enough
to justify the investment of larger
capital in prospecting for and de-
the coal deposits.
