THREE STAGES.

Signing like furnace,
over ears in love,
Blind i'll alteration
Of his lady's glove;
Thinks no girl was ever
Quite so sweet as she,
Tells you she's an angel,
Expects you TO agree.
Mop1ng and repining,
Gloomy and morose,
Asks the price Of poison,
Thinks he'll take dose,
Women are SO tickle,
Love is all a sham,
Marriage is failure,
Like broken dam.
Whistling, blithe and cheerful,
Always bright and gay,
Dancing, singing, laughing,
All the liyelong day;
Full of fun and frolic,
Caught in Fashions Whirl.
Thinks no more of poison
Got another girl. :.

The Samoan Conference.

BALTIMORE Nd, Feb. S.-Secretary
Bayard said to a reporter of the sun to-
day that the date for the meeting of the
proposed conference had not been
determined as yet. 1t will doubtless be
held very soon as the administration is
now very near the close Of its official
life. The points to be eontended for by
this country will be the qualification
of Samoa, the restoration OF the au-
tonomy of the islands and the protection
of American interests. There are reason
able gounds for hoping that these viii be
secured. It would be very unfortunate if
personal spite or partisan jealousy should
succeed in throwing anything in the way
of so desirable a contamination. Prince
Bisn arck has shown disposition to set
the matters amicably. He and his son,
Count Herbert, have gone out of their
way to make the friendliest professions
and Mr. Bayard of course can only take
them at their word and meet them III a
similar spirit.

DIECKMANN'S DEPARTURE.
AmOunt-A FURRY in Financial Circles
in St Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. S.-The an
nouneement that Henry Dieekmann, act
ing president of the Mauntell- Borgess.
mining company, had fed TO Canada,
q defaulter in the sum of $50 600,
created n great sensation in financial
and commercial circles. He was missed
from his accustomed hauntS rs early as last
Wednesday bat nothing was thought OF 1t
at the time. He did not appear
at his place of business yesterday
morning, but IS his connection with the
house had not been very active this fact
attracted but little attention. 1t was
not until z. D. CTibben, Dieckmann s
attorney, handed a member of the firm
telegram from Dieekmann announcing
his safe arrival in Windsor, Canada that
the truth dawned on his business asSoci-
ates. Since 1881 Dieckmann has been Il
familiar figure on change, and during
the last few years has gained the reputa-
ton of Il bold Spectator. II has been
known for months that he was a heavy
loser on wheat, but no one thought him
crippled. The attachment suit brought
against Dieckmann by Mrs. Wilhelmme
Meyer, his mother-in-law and the
widow of his former employer, was the
was wrong. As soon as the news got
out there was general stampede
among brokers and commission men
TO examine their books and ascertain
whether or not Dieckmann was their
debtor. There was q comparison of notes
and it was found Dieekmann 5 transac-
tons had been much larger
than was generally supposed. The
losses are scattered, however, and
no one firm is heavily involved. Besides
his speculatiOns in this market DECK
mann was heavy dealer in Chicago. OF
his standing there, however, moth
ing is known, as he conducted
his deals himself and not through
broker. Dleckmann was also q large
and unfortunate speculator in mining
stocks. The worst feature about the
case is that Dieekmann has involved q
very large and particularly helpless fam
lily in his ruin.

late Prince Rudolf says: The first tele-
gram received at the vatican announced
the death OF Rudolf. To this telegram
the pope himself wrote four-line reply
an act that was especially noteworthy
the pope being hardly able to hold pen.
On the following day a long telegram
told how Rudolf had agreed TO decide n
quarrel with dice, how he had
lost, and, in compliance with the
terms Of the contract, had taken his
own life. His holiness Immediately
summoned the cOnclaye Of cardinals.
After long discussion it was decided
that only one derangeG could have en-
tered into such contract. This decision
having been arrived at permission 10
bury the dead prince with religious rites
was granted. The emperor, Francis
Joseph, received the news with the deep
est gratitude, and sent dispatch in re-
ply SAYING that his holiness had spared
him che greatest grief.
BERLIN, Feb. S.-The National Zeitung
says advices from st. Petersburg, which
may be regarded as absolutely authentic,
assert that Count Hoyos and all the do
mestics at Meyerling saw the Baroness
Fetzera, who had been shot, lying under
the Counterpart on Crown Prince Ru-
dolf s bed, and the crown prince lying
outside the bed clothes, and that they
confirm the report of family disputes
arising owing to the intimacy OF the
crown prince with tie baroness.

Wolves and F1ies.
Notes and Queries.


When visiting friend last summer he
called my attention to q curious plan for
preventing the plague of flies in his
house. The upper sash of one of the
windows in his sitting room being open
for ventilation, there was suspended out
side piece of common fishing net. My
friend told me that not n fly would ven
ture to pass through it. He has watched
for an hour at time, and seen swarIns
fly to within few inches of the
net, and then, after buzzing about for a
little, depart. He told me the flies would
pass through the net if there was thor
Ough light-that is, another window in
the opposite wall. Though the day was
very warm, I did not see q single fly in
the room during my visit, though else
where in the town they were TO be seen
in abundance. 1 suppose they imagine
the net to be SPIDERS web, or some
other trap intended for their destruction.
Ny friend mentioned the curious fact
that in Russia no wolves Will pass under
telegraph wires, and that the government
are utilizing this valuable discovery, and
already clearing districts Of the country
from these brutes.

Palestine Blaze.
Special to the Gazette.
PALESTINE, TEX. Feb. 6.--A Ere oe-
CURED here yesterday evening. ut 6
o'clock, originating in the large frame
livery stable of s. a. Rollins, corner of
Main and Postoffice streets. The fire
com panies were on the ground in few
minutes after the alarm was given and,
although twO-thiFds of the roof was
ablaze by this time, by a manful fight
the flames were soon checked aud finally
subdued. The fire originated unaccount-
ably in the loft amongst large amount
of hay, shucks and corn, and that any
portion OF the building was left
unburned is greatly to the credit
Of the brave boys of the fire companies.
All the horses and vehicles were saved,
but what is left of the building will have
to be torn down. The loss is placed at
$500, covered by Insurance of $1,000 in
the Phoenix, $3.50 in the Lancashire and
$500 in the st. Paul. The Episcopal
church across and further up Postofiice
street was on fire at one time from cind-
ers, bat a few jets of water stopped it
before damage was done.

Redmond Sane
CHICAGO, Ill, Feb. S.-Little Annie
Redmond, who was kidnapped about
year ago, was found to-day in house of
refuge where she had been placed after
being taken from family named
Guerely, who abused her terribly. The
father of the child was driven crazy
by her disappearance and has been in an
asylum for months past. When the
child was found the officers at once went
for the father to bring him into the pres
ence of his child to ascertain if the sight
of her would not restore his reason
While little Aunie was relating her story
she paused every few minutes
to ask where IS papa?' There were no
dry eyes among the crowd of people in
the room when late in the evening n big
broad shouldered man slipped noiselessly
through the door aud stood for moment
in the background listening to
the child's prattle. Suddenly there
was eommotion. The big man
was pushing people right and left and
lifting little Annie he kissed her hun
dred times. 1t was John Redmond, the
father, just brought from the asylum and
trembling with joy, but sane as could be-
Everybody cheered and laughed and
cried. Mrs Redmond was carried in and
the husband, wife and little one were to-
night the happiest trio in Chicago.

1t is Sought by DefauIter from New York
Who Scooped in Big Sum.
NEW YORK, Feb. S.-A. S. Gookin ;,
cashier of the Manhattan elevated rail-
way company, deserted his post on Mon
day or Tuesday of this week and it is
thought has sought quiet home in Can
ada The company loses about seven
thousand dollars by Mr.. Gookin s de-
parture, it is said, but the officials all
profess ignorance OF positive knowledge
on this point. Tuesday last Gookin did
not appear at his desk, and an ex-
animation of his books at once
showed him to be a defaulter
for an amount in excess of $50 GOO
Gookln kept four different pay rolls, and
the method he employed to swindle the
firm was Crediting sums of money to the
names of fictitious persons represented on
the books as employees. The greatest re-
ticence is observed by all officials of the
road concerning the peculation, but
many speak well OF GuOkin The length
of time during which he was engaged in
the systematic swindle is matter of con-
lecture, but it is thought it did not cover
q very long period.

Sir Charles Russell Continues to Cross
Examine Lecaron.
LONDON, Feb. 8.-The cross examina-
ton of the infoTmer, Lecaron, was con-
tinued by Sir Charles Russell before the
Parnen commission to-day. The court
room was over crowded. ParnelI was
not present. Lecaron in reply to a
question said during the last fortnight he
had got documents relating to tile case
from Mr.. Anderson, an official of the
home Office, who at his private residence
allowed the witness to see the whole
Of the latter's past correspondence
with the home office authorities. The
witness then went to Cork street with an
unsigned letter of Introduction, which
Anderson had given him to Mr.. Houston,
secretary of the Loyal patriotic union.
In November, 1888, the witness read re-
ports of the proceedings before the com
mission, and they gave him the impress
sion that the British prosecution was
tamely presented.
That is very hard OF the attorney-gen-
eral, said Sir Charles Russell, the re-
mark causing much laughter.
Lecaron said during the first three
years of his service as q spy, he received
AlO Peg iA1NiAL 4ACAl tl4V SsVF Oi ttilS
that at present he was receiving only
part of his pay. Mr.. Anderson oppose d
my testifying. Anderson selected the
documents he thought would be useful to
Houston, who in turn selected those
TO be read to the court
Anderson introduced me to Hous-
ton as ga man who had
been mutually selected to represent the
prosecution and one whom the Times
and / can trust. - [ made the first pro-
posal to come here. Lecaron said he
had practiced medicine and kept drug
store and had become rich. He had held
a high military Office in the brotherhood,
but no executive office. Bradley of Phil
adelphia was now at the head of the exc
cutive department.

FOR HIS LIFE.
The Trial of Rednosed Mike at Wilkesbarre--
Strong CircumstantiaI Evidenee--A Comics
sion Made by Mistake

WILKEsBARRE, PA, Feb. Sat the
trial Of Rednosed Mike to-day William
Ohlinger, an old hunter, testified to
Mixes showing him a rife purchased
here in August last, and on being shown
the rife found by Capt. Linden in the
woods identified it positively as being the
same one.
Edward Kimmerer of this city testified
10 having sold the rife to Mike and his
companions.
Antonio Naphellelo, bright young
man nineteen years of age, says that on
July Is Mike asked him to take part in
the murder and robbery of the paymas-
ter. He refused, and Mike warned him
not to tell any one under pain of death.
Two days afterwards Mike and
Beverino again approached him on
the subject, but he again re-
fused, when they threatened him
with death. The witness soon left. He
went to Shenandoah. H8 never told any
one Of Nike : proposition, as he was not
sure that Nike had done the murder.
Three witnesses testified to Mike s having
admitted committing the murder, but
said he claimed to have done it because
he was afraid to refuse for fear of the
in New York He said be would sooner
commit murder and take his chances
with the law than refuse and take chances
with the society.
Francisco ChiviaccO of Philadelphia,
who had been in jail here for a month,
was introduced to Mike by BeveTinO, and
the latter and Mike were ont together
when he said to Mike, "Beverino told
me all about you, - meaning that Beve-
rino had said Mike was head officer of the
Secret Italian society, which is
strong in Chicago at present. Mike
Supposing ChiviaccO was referring to
the murder, told him the circumstances
and how he himself Nike was the in
stigator. When Chiviacco told Mike his
confederates had gone to Italy Mike cried
and said the fatal shots were fired and TO
no purpose, since they had taken all the
money ana lett him here penniless. He
then had the witness write to parties in
Italy, who sent back money for Mike to
escape the country.
At the evening session Capt. Linden
detailed the capture Of Mike. His con-
fession was read i'll evidence. 1t details
one Of the most horrible and diabolical
schemes ever perpetrated. Mike was
also put on the stand. He
merely testified at this time
what took place in Capt. Linden IS
Office while in Philadelphia. Capt. Lin
den then detailed hOaY after they left
Philadelphia under cover of. darkness,
Mike led them to mountain spot, and
there some money, rife, saehel, over
coat and cartridges were found among
the rocks. He knew every
thing. Capt. Linden's story
caused most intense excitement
in the court, and WEIGH, who sat ut the
defendants table, was the picture of
dismay. The story of the planning and
shooting reads like q novel.
Court adjourned till tomorrow morn
ing.
In his confession Mike details how
Tonic Nopollello Beverno and himself
were pracucing with revoIvers.

AUSTIN, Tx, Feb. s.-The state
ments made in THE GAZETTE to the effect
that owsley of Denton, would be one of
the leaders in opposition to the commits
sion bill, brought that gentleman TO his
feet this morning for a personal explana-
ton. Mr.. owSley declared that he would
support the bin. Well, the statement
was only wrong in regard to the side of
the question, for the brilliant young Dem
tonian is always q leader upon any side
OF any question upon which he may be
found.
TIE COMMISSION.
There were three speeches on the COM
mission bill in the house to-day. Mr..
McComb made the opening argument
against the bill. His speech was an ar
gument OF great force clothed in
language of classic beauty. He ad-
dressed himself to the constitutional
phase of the question, which he pre-
sented III very broad and comprehen-
siFe manner. His speech abounded in
wit and hnmor, force and originality,
and was III the highest degree ELOQUENT.
Mr.. MeComb was followed by Judge
Hamblen Of Houston, who spoke on the
same side. Judge Hamblen s argument
was very strong one, close and well
knit and Astounding in telling points.
Owsley of Denton followed in favor of
the bin. He made most ingenious ar
gmment, attacking the propositions laid
down by the gentleman who preceded
him. On the whole it was field day for
Texas oratory, and tine fact was clearly
demonstrated that the present legislature
so far rs talking is concerned, is amply
able TO take care of it elf.
On Monday Nelson will make an argu-
ment for the bill to be followed by Levy
against it.

when he returned to school in the fall and
it was shown that the unfortunate young
man had suffered twice with the same
disease before he came to
Austin, each time beng dan
gerously i'll with it. It is
needless to say that the deceased received
the very best and kindest attention
throughout. This is the only case of
