Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
WEATHERFoRD, TEX, Feb. 1S.-A
very important meeting Of the CONNER
cial union club was held at their club
rooms at 1880 o 'clock this evening TO give
an expression of the club as representing
the business community of WeatherfOrd
regarding the pending railroad legisla-
ton. After a thorough discussion the
following resolutions were adopted as an
expression of the club:
Resolved, that the Commercial
union club of Weatherford, Tex, hav-
ing carefully considered the important
questions now pending before the Iegisla-
ture of Texas on the various bills intro
duced for the appointment of a railroad
commission, we deem it to be
our duty to give some public
expressions of our views and conclusions
on the subject. We announce distinctly
that we are in full accord with the de-
claration of the state Democratic plat
form, that we recommend the en-
actment of such laws as shall
regulate the freight charges of rail-
roads and express companies so
that they may only yield a fair interest
on the money invested in them and at
the same time prevent the Discriminate
in charges against any point in the state
This is constitutional right of
the people secured by the or
ganic laws OF the state
and the conventional rate of interest of u
per cent. is by common consent consid-
cred a fair interest on money invest
ments. The plighted faith of the state
of Texas for the security of railroad in
vestments by foreign capital, has secured
the wonderful development of the state
and should be kept inviolate. The threat
ened hostility of the Texas legislature
against railroad interests has made it
impossible to float bonds for the con-
struction of new lines or the extension of
old ones. A wise conservatism in gov
ernmental policy would admonish us
to beware of class legislation against
any special property interests as the
assault upon one may invite or justify
assaults upon the dearest rights of the
citizen.
These resolutions are a voluntary ex-
preston of our views in the interest of
the public good, as this club represents
the commercial and professional COM
munity of this city.
Passed by q quorum of the club at a
called meeting on February Is, 1889.

to the public as well.

John Kuhni Brought from Ireland to Answer
for Murder in Wisconsin.
MADISON, WIS. :, Feb Is. j ohm Kuhni,
the alleged Primrose fiend, is behind the
bars of the Dane county jail. United
States Agent Estes arrived with him to-
day from Queenstown, where he had
been intercepted in an attempt to escape
punishment for a crime which was one
of the most diabolical ever per2etrated
in Wisconsin. December IS, last, he
murdered his mate, William Chris
tien, and to conceal the crime chopped
the body into fragments, hid them and
fed. A week later the crime was discover
ed. The fugitive was followed to Phila-
delphia and Europe, his arrest and re-
turn from across the water having given
additional prominence to his fiendish act .
The prisoner was very nervous, evidently
fearing lynch law. Additional strong
evidence has been secured against him,
and he will undoubtedly go TO prison for
life, Wisconsin not having capital pun
lshment, unless the people take the mat
ter in hand and hang him.

examined Wheeler has been with the
