THE OFFICIAL REPORT

from Superintendent Thompson is q.
follows:
we received the alarm from station
81 at 10 10 A. NJ, about ten or twelve
minutes after the flash of lightning.
am Of opinion, after a careful ex-
an nation. that the fire was caused by
lightning passing over the branch wire
which Is connected to the feed wire Of
the Union Passenger Company wire al
Reservoir street. and used at the stable
10 run a motor for cutting feed. The
lightning did not strike the building.
but passed over this wire, melting II on
its progress to the ground. causing an
arc 10 form, which set fire TO the build
ing.
Superintendent Thompson has the
ends Of the wire at his office 10 prove
the assertion. The superintendent re-
port Of 1855 reads as follows:
The time has arrived when the
Board should take some steps TO have
an electrical inspector appointed. whose
duty It shall be to examine all electric
highland power wires placed in build
ings before 1t Is too late. The work
should be done according to the rules
Of the New York Board Of Under
writers. This il not all. Some one
should be charged with keeping a cor
rect record Of all wires strung within
the city limits. This coull readily be
done through thisdepartment. provided
the Council would giveu. an additional
man IN office. This is a matter that de.
mands serious attention.
The supposition here is that the wire
was not properly grounded, aud thus
could not carry TO the ground the elec
tricity from the heavens.

IOWA WHITE CAPS.
A Preconcerted Movement to Extend the Order
Throughout the State.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Jan. 2l.-The in
troductory of the organization of White
Caps into Iowa seems to be making rapid
progress. Since January L, at probably
a dozen different points remotely situated
from each other, persons have received
anonymous letters advising them to
change their conduct, get out of the
community or prepare for a visitation
from the White Caps. Among others
who received the warning notices is the
attorney of the Law and Order league at
Sioux City, who has been told by the
regulators TO leave the city. Editor Per-
kins of the Journal has been notified
to attend TO his own affairs In
Des Moines the editor of daily
paper has received word that: ''You
and your gang must leave the city with
out delay or we Will make it hot for
you.
The notice was written in red ink and
was ornamented with the skull and cross
bones. No attempt has been made to in
jure the person of any man yet threat
ened, but the outbreak coming from so
many different points at once indicate a
preconeerted movement to extend the or
der in this state.

THE TEXAS JUDICIARY.
Needed Change in the Constitution Demanded
Why Not New Constitution at Once?
San Angelo Enterprise.

Why Not a New Constitution at Once?
San Angelo Enterprise.
One of the first things the next legisla-
ture should do is to submit an amend
ment to the judiciary article Of the con-
stltution The ideal Judiciary system is
one supreme court, district judges and
justices of the peace. This is but re-
turn to the old system, and abolishes the
court of appeals and county courts, ex-
cept as to probate matters. If we are to
retain the court of appeals its jurisdic-
ton should be restricted to criminal
eases. This viii do away with the
ridiculous anomaly we now have
of two courts of last resort ;.
with concurrent jurisdiction, de-
livering opinions III direct conflict upon
the same subject matter. Under the
present system man having two claims
for say, $3.50 each, against different men,
can sue one in the county court, the
other in the district court; both cases
being appealed; the one going to the
court of appeals and the other to the
supreme court; in one, judgment is given
for the plaintiff, while in the other, the
defendant WINS and this on
identical claims-parts of the same
transaction and involving the very
same issue of law and fact. Under such
circumstances how can an attorney adj
wise his client what the law is? If his
client is prospective defendant the law
yer can only say, elf you are sued in the
county court you will win; if in the dis
trict court you will lose. As matter
of course the plaintiff will sue where he
can win, and this gives him an advantage
the defendant cannot exercise. But, if,
unfortunately for the plaintiff the county
judge should be recused and the
case be transferred to the district
court he may find that he loses
his case, not on the cause, but bemerits
he, or the defendant, was first cousin to
the county Judge. Concurrent jurisdic-
ton in courts of last resort is an absurdity
that cannot but lead to confusion The
beauty of the law is the certainty thereof,
is q legal maxim. 1t is enough to make
bronze statue of Blackstone blush TO
apply that maxim to our present judiciary
system.

DECATUR.
A Wreck on the Fort Worth and Denver-A
Stolen Horse Recovered.


Special to the Gazette.
DECATUR, Tex, Jan. 2I.-The second
No. u, in charge of Conductor Craig,
drawn by No. engine, in charge of
Engineer Tom Shehan, was wrecked on
the Denver, Texas and Fort Worth rail-
way, one mile south of this place yester-
day evening. Two boxcars and the ca
boose were wrecked without hurting any
body but considerable damage to the
company It was caused by
the bad condition of the roadbed.
The rails from side track were taken up
and made a spur track around the wreck
ed cars for trains to pass. The wreclker
will be two or three days clearing up the
track.
Mr.. . B. Abbot has been reinstated as
station agent for the Denver, Texas and
Fort Worth at this place.

sold 10 Mr.. d. P. Hawkins by Bob and
Dan Campbell after their arrest. He
says the horse was stolen from him in the
nation September 20, 1888, but as these
boys already have thirty-fiye years each
in the penitentiary and stand charged
with murder, they will hardly be both
cred about the horse matter.

December, 1873, and January and
February, 1874, thus come together on a
mean average of 10 degrees above zero
and December, 1879, and January and
February, 1880, make an average of
nearly u above, while the winter of
1856 supplies December and January
with a mean average temperature of 6
above zero, February dropping to below
that point. The average snow fall for
1874 was 6 AZ inches and the mildness of
the winter is readily recalled. The snow
fall of 1880 was also small in January /,
being 2 8 inches, and in 1876 it was only
1 % inches.
The tables, as well as the facts and the
views of Professor Draper, point to the
fact that winters have been becoming
more and more mild within twenty-five
years. The number of those in which
the temperature of any one of the winter
months has reached point above so de-
grees above zero on any day has been
increasing in rapid ratio since 1868 =.
There are twelve such winters since that
time, while from 1922 to 1864, or nearly
twice that time, the number is only eight.
By another look at the tables it is seen
that the number of such years
within the past twenty years is
ten, or an average of so per
cent. while for the forty years before it
is only eight, an average of only 20 per
cent. All this corroborates Professor
Draper s Interpretation of the figures to
the effect that the severity of winters and
the amount of snow deposited runs a
race of sixty years before they get tired,
and then, mitigation having been OBJ
tanned, the journey into winters of more
and more snow begins.
Professor Draper does not pretend that
the small average amount of snow in this
city of winters is due to the cutting down
of the forests, but that it is in the order
of nature, which runs its course every
sixty years.
Chief Engineer Birdsall of the aque-
duct, who has watched our winters
closely, declares that three winters out
of every eleven are mild ones. He
thinks that two mid winters are apt to
come in succession and that third one
manages to sandwich itself i'll somewhere
else among the eleven ere that cycle
passes away. Whether he connects this
with the eleven years cycle supposed to
be favored by sun spots he does not say
A wonderfully wise weather
prophet predicts that this wonderfully
mild winter will be shocked out of its
boots about January 90 by a blizzard
which viii last three days, and which
VII be followed by big storm of snow
on or about January 81, again on or
about February 3, and then on or about
February 20, after which mild and
beautiful spring will drop on us all made
to order. He begs that his name be not
made public.

Palace-Runaway Teams.
Special to the Gazette.
WICHA FALLS, TEX, Jan. 21.-Yes-
terday was good day for runaway
teams, no less than three of them being
on the rampage i'll town at the same
time. Nothing more serious than dam
age to hacks occurred except in one in
stance Mr.. Win ingersoll and Miss Kate
Carter were riding together when their
team became frightened and ran off.
After going some distance Miss Carter
jumped out and fractured the bone near
the ankle. Mr.. Ingersoll stayed with the
team and guided them until they ran
themselves down and then brought them
to the stable without thing being broken
about the buggy or harness.
Our people are much pleased with the
idea of the Texas Spring Palace, and a
number of them are anxious to take stock
as well as exhibit in it.
