Excitement at Midlothian

Special Telegram to the Statesman.
MIDLOTHIAN, January 1S-Great excite
ment was caused here yesterday by the
sinking near the depot, without apparent
cause, of strip of territory 200 yards
long, over which runs the Fort Worth and
New Orleans railroad. The earth in the
afternoon gave signs like the echo
of the thunder storm of the
preceding days. 1t then CON-
menced sinking gradually, and within a
few hours seemed to be getting out OF
sight. The railroad called construction
train into service and had forty car loads
of granite placed on the spot in the effort
to raise the grade, but by night the gravel
had sunk three feet below the original
level of the road, and trains could not ge
to the depot. Some think the sink hole
will develop large river, while others be-
lieve that the sinking will spread and
prove something like great depression
of the earth's surface that once occurred
in Missouri.

WICHITA, Kan, January 19.-Major
Lille (Pawnee Biz last evening stated
that the preliminaries for the Oklahoma
invasion were progressing favorably, and
that he would cross the line of the Terri
tory February l. Between 500 and 600
people in wagons and on horse back will
leave this city on the 28th TO be joined tR
points along the line of march by others.
1t is expected the number will be 5000
when the line of the Territory is reached.
Many who are not members of the colony
will take advantage of the crowd to
get into Oklahoma. Besides these
there are colonies from the east
and south. The rendezvous will not yet
be made pubic. The Old cattle trail into
the Territory from Caldwell will be taken
by the invading party. This trail is
public highway about six miles vide, and
no oneI AN belpre vented from traversing it.
At Salt Fork, in the Territory, the party
will leave the trail and strike into the
promised land of Oklahoma.

To the Associated Press, New York
Gentlemen: My attention has been called
to an article in the New York Herald in
which it is stated Inspector Fred Jarvis
and Chief Inspector Shore, superintend-
emit of the criminal Investigating depart
ment of Scotland Yard, London, were in
America in the interest of the London
Times to ferret out information about the
movements of rish-American conspira.
tors; thst Shore and Jarvis met represent
atives of the Pinkertons in Kansas City;
that three of the. Pinkertons have been al
work for years in the Irish national secret
societies, one of whom communicated di
rectly with Scotland Yard, and that Mana
ger Bangs, Of this city, admitted it to be an
Irish nationalist who caught him in q
trap. 1 wish to positively contradict the
statements above referred to, and if ar
Irish nationalist or anyone else has stated
that Mr.. Bangs made such an admission
he has stated what is not true. The Pin
kerton's National Detective agency hsl
never obtained particle of evidences
against Mr.. Psrnell, and has never beer
requested to hunt up such evidence by the
London Times or the British government
know of my own knowledge that Super
intendent Shore has not been in thii
country for a number of yeare. Inspector
Fred Jarvis is here in connection
with criminal matters which have nc
relation whatever to Irish affairs
and neither he nor Mr.. Shore have met

GALVESTON, January 19.-The special
committee appointed by the cotton ex-
change, to investigate the weighing of
compressed cotton and the question of
India bagging, to-day reported as fol-
lows:
"That they have had compressed cotton
weighed in their presence, both before
aud after it was compressed, and found
the weight on five bales to hold out to the
pound. They therefore beg to recon-
mend the adoption of the following rule:
On compressed cotton, when delivered,
four pounds per bale shall be allowed to
he seller on bales having six bands. The
allowance for extra or missing bands
shall be at the rate of two pounds for
each band.
With regard TO India bagging we find
that it is not a proper covering for cotton
We beg to suggest that for the balance of
this season bales covered with this bag
ging be taken, if in good shipping order,
but if not, then to be recovered at the ex-
] nense of the seller, For the next season
we beg to recommend the adoption of a
rule declaring cotton covered with India
baggiug to be unmerchantable.
The report of the committee was ap-
proved aud adopted by the cotton ex-
change and it's substance will oe lncor'
porated in the rules.

DALLAS, January 18.-About 150 people
gathered at Lenskies' undertaking estab-

witness the obsequies of John Bradley.
On entering the front room of the build

sombre pedestals. On the casket was a

of the deceased. The Dallas Base Ball as
ISOLATION contributed to this token of re-
spect base ball mask woven of violets,
roses and evergreens, representing the

The service was conducted by Reverend
Mr.. Riggs, pastor of the Second Presby-

placed in the hearse by the pall-bearers,
who were Bradley's comrades IN the ball
field. The procession then moved to
Trinity cemetery, where, after brief
service, the body was consigned to the
earth.
