Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, Tex, Dec. 31.-On De-
cember 81 Chief of Police Jordan re-
ceived the following telegram from City
Marshal S. NJ. Farmer of Fort Worth:
"Arrest Frank Patterson, weighing
over 200 pounds, thumb of left hand OF
at first joint; wearing dark diagonal suit
Wanted for embezzlement. +"
Immediately on receipt of this dis
patch Detective Williamson was detailed
to look UP Patterson. On the 2Sth Chief
Of Police Jordan received another wire
from City Marshal Farmer to this effect:
Have you learned anything of Frank
Patterson? VIII be about gambling or
houses of prostitution. 1t is learned
since he left he is wanted for murder
To-day about IL O'Clock while Chief
of Police Jordan was waiting his turn in
Loves barber shop large, portly
young man entered. The chief instantly
noted his striking similarity with the de-
scription given in the dispatch. He
watched him closely and when the young
man began unbuttoning his coat he
noticed that the first joint of his left
thumb was gone. Being sure of his man
he sent for u trusty officer and had him
posted on the outside while
the unsuspecting Patterson was
being shaved and shampooned and hav-
ing his shoes BACKED. After he was
brushed down and had paid his bill, Chief
Jordon tapped him on the shoulder.
. Mr.. Patterson, want to see you down
at my office. am the chief of police of
Galveston -
Patterson, offering no resistance, said:
" All right, sir, will go with you,
passed out into the custody of the officer
on the outside
Arriving at the police station Patterson
wanted to know what he was arrested for,
and was informed it was for embeZZlement
at Fort Worth, the fact of his being
also wanted for murder being concealed
from him. Patterson said he had no
knowledge of having embezzled anything
while in Fort Worth, that a man named
Gray, who runs gambling house there
gave him $50 to set in game of freeze
out poker and that ne lost the money in
Gray house, and supposes that Gray
after his leaving Fort Worth charged
him with embeZzlement, and caused
warrant to be issued for his arrest.
City Marshal Farmer was notified and
wired: "Hold Frank Patterson. Will
come on the first train for him. - Pat
terson when arrested had a few dollars in
silver, no weapons and seemed to take it
quite philosophically. He is a large,
rather fine looking man, about twenty
eight or thirty years of age, and
gambler. Since his arrest it is learned
that the sheriff was also looking for him.
Nothing could be ascertained as to whom
he murdered or where the crime was |
committed

FIRE RECORD.
4Ne Bristol a Comp1ete nos..

NEWPORT, R. l., Dec. 21.-The
steamer Bristol is a complete ruin. Only
the upper part of the hull is above water,
surrounded by the half burned wheel
house. The framework of walking beam
is nearly all burned away and the beam
is kept in place by its connecting rods.
The port wheel house is hanging outward
badly and may keel at any moment.
Captain Walters is at work on her with
his wrecking schooner Young America,
which is alongside and will try to recover
the safe and other valuables of the
steamer. Her beams have all been
burned away, in consequence Of which
she has spread apart badly and will
probably soon split in two. Two steam
ers worked on the hull with four streams
the entire night, but left this morning
although smoke was still coming from
the vessel. The fire department have
not worked on her to-day. Supervisor
Pierce says the steamer was valued at
$500 900, this valuation, including fur
niture and equipment. The insurance
on her was but $500 900, leaving a loss of
5000 600. Her hull is Of no value. Mr..
Pierce says the old iron, if saved will
not pay the cost of her removal from the
dock. The insurance is held by offices in
Boston.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
Senior Romero Denies 1t.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 81 Senior Romero,
the Mexican minister, says that he does
not believe any such occurrence had
taken place in the City of Mexico as were
stated to have happened in a dispatch
from FL Paso, Tex. purporting to give
an account of great clerical uprising in
the Mexican capital. Senior Romero said
that if anything of such magnitude had
taken place we should have heard of it
by cable via Galveston and not received
the first intimation of the affair from such
a place as FL Paso. "Besides," he
said: 81 have official dis
patches up to last Friday
evening and they don't say
a word about it. If any such thing had
happened they would have said some
thing about it, especially if it had such
an ending as is given IN the published
dispatches. -
The minister added that it was Mexi-
can custom for every one on the 28th of
December to tell the biggest yarns he
could think of and then laugh at those
who believed them. It was q sort of an
American April fool day and he thought
that perhaps the published story had
such an origin.

EXECUTIVE NOTES.
The Late Justice Stanley Matthews
Successor Appointed.

WASHINGTON, December The Presi-
dent today sent the following nomins-
ton to the Ssnate: Justice David J.
Brewer, of Kansas, to be Associate JUS
tce of the Supreme Court of the United
States.
David ]. Brewer, the newly appointed
Associate Justice OF the United States
Supreme Court, is about so years old,
and a native of Smyrna, Asia Minor.
His father, Rev. Joseph Brewer, was
mis- sionary to that country when the JUS
tice was born, but returned to this
country when David was three years old.
The appointee graduated from Yale
college, by strange coincidence in the
same class with Judge Brown, of Detroit,
and John Mason Brown, of Kentucky,
both of whom were prominently named
in connection with the appoin tment.
After years study of law in New York
City, Brewer removed to Kansas, where
he early took prominent place in his
profession, served two terms of six years
each on the bench of the Supreme
Court of that State, and had entered
upon his third term when President
Arthur appointed him Judge of the
Eighth Judicial Circuit, to succeed
George w. McCreary. Justice Brewer is
. nephew to Justice Stephen ]. Field,
his mother having been member Of the
famous Field family. The appointment
ia generally well received.
The President also sent to the Senate
as nominations, large number of recess
appointments.

IT is not usually expected Of an actor
that he should be fine writer, but the
number of the guild who are proving
that they are 80 is noteworthy. To be-
gin with, the memoirs OF actors are gen.
orally exceedingly agreeable reading, and
the latest development in this line, those
of Lester Wallack, are not a whit behind
the best exemplars of the art. Dion
Boucicault has long been known as a
graceful and finished writer, which his
avocation of playwright as we'll as
actor explains very naturally. Charles
Wyndham also comes to the front in a
literary line in late issue of maya
zine; and, in an article under the head
ing OF the Tendency Of Modern Com.
edy," demonstrates that he wields
the pen of master. If Edwin
Booth would only take hand in the
memoir line he could produce work of
SURPRISING interest, and peculiarly SO to
Californians. Many of his best and
most vivacious years were spent in this
State, and If he would only give their
story to the printer the result would be
both entertaining and instructive. But
then Edwin has become austere, and he
probably looks upon the peccadilloes Of
his early youth with severe displeasure.
The great actor has become remarkably
unsocial, and carries his exclusivenese
to the point Of absolute ferocity. Such
men rarely write their "reminiscences.

FLEET In LUCK.
Conn missioner Croft awards Him a
100000 Farm

Conn missioner Croft awards Him n
100000 Farm.
WASHINGTON, December 4.-Commis-
eioner Croft, of the General Land Office,
has rendered decision in the cases of
John +. Fleet, James Delacy and John
Algyer vs. the Northern Pacific Railway
Company, involving q quarter section
near Tacoma, Washington. The tract lie
within the primary limits Of the North
ern Pacific grants. Fleet settled upon
the land under the pre-emption laws in
the spring Of 1869, made the necessary
improvements, and in the fall Of 1870
went to the local land Office to make
final proof, but the Register refused
to listen to him, declaring the land
belonged to the railroad company.
Fleet left the land and has not since
lived upon it. In 1883 Algyer moved
upon the land and built houee, but bas
not resided there since 1884. In 1886
Delacy settled upon the land and has
since resided continually upon it and
has made valuable Improvements. The
Commissioners decision reinstates Fleet
on bis rights under the act of March 5,
1887, holding that his abandonment was
involuntary, and allows him to complete
his entry. The Commissioner also holds
that neither Algyer nor Delscy can have
any claim to the land, for, unless Fleet
is entitled to it, it must inure to ihe rail-
way company under its grant. The land
is said to be worth $100, 900.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-12-05

THE reported disappearance OF Charles
Stewart Psrnell is one of those sickly
sensations which try the patience of the
reader from their improbability. Tie
great Irish leader is of nervous and
slight physique, and suffers repeatedly
from ill-health. In such condition q
man who is necessarily sought after is
obliged to withdraw himself from the
public and seek seclusion. To let his
temporary residence be known would be
to defeat his object. According to Mr..
Gladstone, the triumph OF the Irish
cause is just at hand, and that would be
. most peculiar time for the voluntary
disappearance of the man who had done
more to promote it than any man living,
unless Gladstone him self be the excep-
ton. 1t is usually providentially ar
ranged that the leaders of grand move
ments for the benefit of mankind not
only remain true to their mission, but
live to see its fruition.
