The supreme Court Decision Gre.
ates u san all Panic.
CHICAGO, November 27.-The adverse
Supreme Court decision upon the Chi
cago Gas Trust had decidedly depress-
ing influence on the stock of that COM
pany on the Chicago Stock Exchange
today. 1t declined nine points to 43,
rallied and closed at 451a. A meeting OF
the officers and heavy stockholders was
held today for the purpose Of agreeing
upon feasible and legal plan upon
which to reorganiza the company consti-
tuting the trust. The persons present at
the meeting refused to talk further than
to say that three plans had been dis
cussed, but none decided upon. Assist
ant Corporation Counsel Darrow said he
could not see that the decision
would hurt the trust to any
great extent. They still retain their
monopoly and the municipal control Of
the gas works is the only solution Of the
question. As stated by Mr.. Darrow, the
gas trust people have complete monop-
oily in Chicago, as they control not only
ali the gas companies, but are the chief

Publicity in Divorce Cases.
New York Star.

The question Of remodeling the pro-
cedure of courts in divorce cases is nat
uraIly brought into prominence by the
FIack affair. The weight of legal opin-
ion as reported through the Star inter-
views favors the rule adopted in Brook
Iyn, where divorce trials are conducted
in open court by one of the judges sitting
at chambers or special term.
No certain conclusion can be drawn
from the practice in other states, for
results do not conform to any
uniform rule. In Pennsylvania
publicity of proceedings has not
proved safeguard against fraud.
In New Jersey, where divorce scandals
are comparatively rare, the taking of
testimony before the master in chancery
fills the part played in New York by the
hearing before referee.
The chief objections urged to public
trials is the inflictiou of grievous social
injury upon the children and other rela-
tives of litigants and the evil Of giving
publicity to immoral details. But these
considerations are not regarded as OF
sufficient moment to Overbalance the rea-
sons IN favor of the abolition of the eX-
isting referee system. The day of secret
divorce in New York will soon end.

Constant Additions to the PopulstiOn-A Com

Correspondence of the Gazette.
THURBER, Ten, Sept. 9.-Within the
past two weeks 100 people have been
added to the population of our mining
town, and before the LIST of October we
expect to have as many more.
The troublesome scenes enacted here
last winter and the complete changes
since in the importation of new miners
from different sections Of the country
have completely reversed the political
status of this voting precinct. Last
election two-thirds of the voters here
were Union Labor, now not more than
fifteen or twenty of that faith can be
found. There are about six hundred
adult males here who will be eligible
voters at the next general state election,
half of whom viii vote the Democratic
ticket and the other half will vote for
the e. 0. p. The population Is equally
divided between the white and cOlored,
and the most intelligent OF the colored
are outspoken Democrats The political
sentiment of the entire county of Erath
has undergone a radical change since
Labor party as a party defending the
riotous proceedings of the old miners last
December. This has caused general
stampede from the ranks of that party,
and if it continues for twelve months
there will not be a corporal guard left.
All of the changes made here mean
grand victory for the grand old party
that we all love, the incOrruptible and
inviucih1e Democratic Darty
Bob Davidson, one of the old striking
miners, was tried in the county court at
Stephenville last Friday for participating
in the riot on the night of the 18th of
December last at this place, and was
fnded S4G0, which, added to cost,
amounts to $50. As soon as Davidson
was convicted four others who were in
dicted skipped to parts unknown, with
their bondsmen wearing mourning.
1t is said the present county court is
the most successful ever held in the
county. It means rigid enforcement of
the law in Erath.
Col r. d. Hunter, the president of
and general manager of the Texas and
Pacific coal company, is here in person
and superyises everything, and every
body moves lively when the colonel is
around The amiable and handsome
Capt. A. b. MaTstOn has recently been
appointed assistant superintendent, g
welI-deserved compliment. The captain
is full of vim and energy, and the wis
dom of his appointment is proved by the
fact that the daily output of coal has in
creased from 400 tons to AS.

COLLECTOR BURKE.
San Antonio Republicans Inclined to Make it
Hot for the Internal Revenue Man,

San Antonio Republicans Inclined to Make it
Hot for the Internal Revenue Man
Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex. Sept. 9.-San
Antonio Republicans have grievance
against President Harrison. The col
Ieetor of internal revenue for this dis
trict is James W. Burke of Austin. Col.
Jim Newcomb, who is presumed to have
a pretty considerable pull on the admin
istration particularly through his friend,
the flamboyant Col. Thomas POrterhouse
Ochiltree, said to-day that Mr.. Burke is
a very nice young man, but he has no
reputation to boast of.
Col. Andrew jackson, United States
attorney for the Western district of
Texas, it is said, makes the statement
that Mr. Burke voted for Cleveland in
the last election.
Col. Evans was to-day walking up and
down Commerce street looking for some
body to bet $500 that he can prove that
Burke pumped q ballot last November
with the naIhes of the Cleveland electors
heading the list. Col. Jim NeWcOmb
didn' t take the bet, but offset Col.
Evans statement by the assertion that
Col. Burke denOuncing Col. Evans as q
- liar. 1t is understood, however,
that Col. Evans viii soon go to work to
prove his declaration and show Col.
Burke's lack of the proper quality of Re
publicanism, and thereby attempt to in
duce President Harrison to rescind
Burke's appointment.
But Col. Jim Newcomb's grievance
takes a more definite form. He makes the
point that Collector Burke has seriously
disregarded the tenets of the Republican
party pertaining to home rule, in that
he has unearthed an unknown Austin
man named Ike Ball and sent him over
here to San Antonio as deputy collector
at San Antonio, which pays unto the
Federal Golfers the great bulk of the
revenue of this district. Col. Newcomb
submits that out Of the vast army Of the
faithful in this city some good and true
man should have been given the deputy
ship by Collector Burke. On the whole
if the present talk is to be taken as
amounting to anything, San Antonio Re
publicans intend making it pretty hot for
Collector Burke.
