REMEMBER THE ALAMO.
An appeal to Texans for Texas-Let MOnu.
ment Tell the Story and Commemorate
the Deed and Inspire the Young.
San Antonio Express.

All hail Sam Maverick for his donation
to the Alamo monument What other
patriotic citizens will come to the fore at
the opening of the year With liberal
contributions to this great enterprise of
erectinga monument to the heroes of the
Alamo, that will reflect credit
upon the people of the grand
state of Texas One hundred thou
sand dollars will do the work. Let
us raise the money and Go it. In song
and story we boast of the heroism of those
men who immortalized themselves upon
the sacrificial altar of Texas liberty, yet
no enduring marble rears aloft TO show
to generations TO come that the people OF
the present ever appreciated the saeri-
fees made at the fail of the Alamo. Let
the task be delayed no longer. The ease
with which a sufficient sum can be raised
with united efforts win surprise us, es-
pecially if a few more Sam Maverick s
can be found.
The Express proposes the following plan
of operations: On next San Jaeinto day
let collections and subscriptions be started
for raising an Alamo momIment fund III
every city, town, hamlet and community
in Texas. Let the organization be thor
ough and complete in advence. Let the
ladies, our best and greatest reliance IN
such matters, in each community have
their soliciting committees appointed and
their subscription papers ready, and on
the morning of the DIST of April next
move forward and solicit the people of
the entire state for subscriptions. Let
the cry be the same that it was on that
day, fifty three years ago, on the glori-
Gus field of San Jacinto: Remember
the Alamol' Let us celebrate the next
San Jacinto day by raising a fund that
viii build a monument that will last for
years and elicit the admiration of the
whole world of beholders.
Will the Alamo Monument Association
undertake the organization of this move
ment? The sooner they inaugurate the
work the more complete will the organi-
zation be on the day of visitation and the
better the results. The Express believes
every newspaper in the state will do all it
can in furthering this particular
agitation; in working up a justi-
fable fervor; and that the next
celebration of San Jacinto day win show
the most substantial appreciation of the
sacrifices made IN the cause of Texas in
dependence ever yet exhibited by the
Texas people. That they will ere
member the Alamo'' as it should be
remembered. What say all? Shall we
Remember the Alamo on next San
Jacinto day as the Express suggests?

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 1.-The Evening
Journal says: 1t was announced at Bur-
lington headquarters shortly after 8
o clock this afternoon that an agreement
had been reached between the company
and the representatives of the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Engineers and that
the strike was to be at once declared off
A high official Of the company confirmed
the report. He said that while he could
not give the particulars of the settlement
until after the conference was over he
would say the agreement reached was
satisfactory to both sides. Only minor
points of no real Importance remain to be
acted upon and as soon as a conclusion is
reached official notification viii be made.
The members of the conference met
again at CLOCK and remained in session
until $3.50. Then the doors of the con-
ference room were opened and represen-
tatives of the Associated Press and of the
daily papers were admitted. To them
Fice-President Stone, in the presence of
Chairman Cavener and other members of
the conference, read the following state
ment:
'tThe Burlington strike has been set
tied. By the terms of the resolution
under which the Brotherhood committee
were appointed at the Richmond
convention they were entrusted to report
to Chief Arthur any settlements which
they might reach as soon as made, and
the committee requested us not to make
the terms of settlement public until they
should have an opportunity to aequaint
MIR Arthur with them, because they
thought it only proper and courteous for
him to heasthem first through the COM
nnittee instead of through the public
press. We have told them we would
scrupulously respect their wishes, and
they have in turn promised that Mr..
Arthur will advise me as soon as he re-
ceives it, so that can acc uaint our peo-
pie and the general public with them.
When Mr. Stone had finished reading
this statement Mr.. CayeDer said there was
nothing to add to it, and both of these
gentlemen declined to enter into further
details. When the Associated Press re-
porter asked Chairman CaYener whether
the committee would proceed to Cleve-
land to lay the agreement before Mr..
Arthur, he replied that the committee
would remain in Chicago for some days.
In reply to the question as to
the means to be employed to ac-
quaint Mr. Arthur with the result,
Mr.. Cavenar replied evasively, but he
clearly indicated {, II it would be tele-
graphed. In reply to query as TO how
soon it would reach him, he said that it
would be in MIR. Arthur s hands Tonight.
rnmor was published here late this
afternoon to the effect that Chief Arthur
had been telegraphed to come to Chicago.
Mr. Cavener says there is no truth in
this statement, and that Mr.. Arthur's
presence is not required.

A REPTILE IN HER STOMACH.
Suffering ExcrGciating Agony and Finding Re-
lief in Strange Manner.
Ee.rr5

Philadelphia Record.
A strange reptile that for over seven
teen years dwelt III human stomach
now reposes in a jar of alcohol in the
house of Mrs. George Snyder, the wife of
Policeman Snyder of the Ninth district,
who vomited the animal few evenings
ago. During the past ten years Mrs.
Snyder has been afflicted with a malady
that defied the efforts of physicians to
afford relief. Every waking moment
was one of torture. but relief came to the
woman in a most unexpected way.
party of friends gathered at her resi-
denee, No. 20I2 Parrish street, few
evenings ago, and refreshments were
placed on the table. Suddenly l be-
came possessed of an insane desire to
drink a glass OF beer, said Mrs. Snyder.
Immediately after drinking I became
frightfully sick and ran into the yard to
vomit. A bucket stood at the hydrant,
and I bent over it. / experienced the
most terrible pain. It seemed as if
huge mass was trying to force itself out
of my mouth, and for fifteen minutes [
suffered awful agony, and then the mass
i'll my throat was removed as quickly as
the sickness came upon me.
"After my vomiting l experienced a
feeling of relief such as | have not felt
for years, and went to bed wonderfully
light hearted. The next morning I went
to the hydrant, and, looking into the
bucket, | saw a reptile nearly two feet
long slowly coiling and uncoiling itself.
The fact of my long illness was then as
plain as day, and [ almost tainted when
l thought that the awful Snake had lived
in my body for seventeen years. But re-
member when l swallowed it. 1t was in
the summer of 1871, just before I was
married. l came home late one night
and was very thirsty. l went into the
yard without light TO get n drink, and
as I swallowed the water felt peculiar
sensation and remarked that I had swal-
lowed something queer.
'FThe reptile did not trouble me for
seven years, and then began to cause me
much suffering 1t produced dreadful
pains in the stomach and had an in
satiable appetite. No matter how much
1 would eat was always hungry. My
physician has since told me that the rep
tile extracted all the nourishment from
my food. The animal lived for two days,
and when it was distended would swell to
the size of a garden hose, and was nearly
two feet in length.
The reptile is a peculiar looking ami
NAL. It's body IS composed of a series of
rings, and tapers down TO Y-shaped
tail, somewhat resembling lizard. The
head is large.
