himself up with his family for luncheon.

callers. He was followed soon after by

Citizens of San Antonio VIII Have to Stand
Light burglars Make Good Haul
Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb. 27.-At
Sand Ford bridge east of this city on the
the Southern Pacific, this afternoon
freight No. % ran into pile driver out
fit and SIX cars of the freight were
ditched. Considerable of the track was
torn up, but no one was hurt. Passenger
trains transferred at the point of the
wreck, which viii be cleared in time for
the resumption of traffic unhindered by
morning.
Burglars entered the residence of Col.
T. P. Hood on Avenue C, last night,
chloroformed the sleepers and got away
of jewelry and silverware.
The two rival electric light companies
of this city pooled their issues to-day into
a kind of trust, and have notified
their respective customers that on and
after March l an increase of about 125
per cent. in the present rates will be
charged for lights. The companies have
been in a lively rate war for the past
year, both running at heavy loss in the
hope of driving the other out of business,
and in the meantime San Antonio has
perhaps been the cheapest lighted city on
the continent, as low as So having been
charged for all-night arc lights. The
announcement to-day of the intended in
crease in rates has therefore resulted in
loud mutterings of discomfort all over the
city.

NATURAL GAS EXPLOSIONS.
Five Buildings Wrecked and Several Persons

Five Buildings Wrecked and Several Persons
Seriously Injured.
PITTsBURG, PA. !, Feb. 27.-Two nat
ural gas explosions in this vicinity with in
the last fifteen hours wrecked five build
ings and injured number of persons,
one fatally and two others quite seriously.
The fist explosion occurred at Tarentum,
Pa, twenty EIGHT miles north of this
city, at / CLOCK last night. The con-
cussion almost completely demolished
two brick dwellings and two
other buildings used as storerooms
The dwellings were occupied by Joel
Smith and William Pritehard both prom
inent citizens, and the families were just
eating when the explosion took place. All
were more or less injured and bruised,
but Mrs. Smith was the only one danger
ously hurt. She was terribly burned
about the head and breast and will prob
ably die. The loss will be quite heavy.
The second explosion took place at z
o'clock this morning and totally wrecked
the frame house of Patrick Murray, on
Brownsville avenue, on the South Side.
The family, consisting of five persons.
were still in bed, and it is miracle that
all were not killed outright. Murray was
most seriously hurt. He was badly
burned about the head and face,
and had one leg crushed by fall
ing timber. Nora, his thirteen-Vear-
old daughter, jumped from a second story
window and sustained painful but not
dangerous injuries. Mrs. Murray and
two younger children escaped with few
scratches. The explosions were caused
by leaves in the pipes and are the only
serious accidents that have occurred here
from natural gas for nearly two years.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Congressman
10 Abbott is particularly in good spirits
to-day over the passage of his bill giving
SIS 900 for a public building at Fort
Worth 1t is a measure that he has
fought for ever since his entrance into
congress, and though there did not seem
! a ghost of chance for success, Judge
Abbott kept pushing the matter with
characteristic pluck, and his dauntless
perseverance won the fight over what
seemed insuImountable difficulties. AS
the house cut down the same to the fig
ures given the bill of course had to go back
to the senate, where Senator Coke came
to the rescue in handsome style, and for
the second time expedited is passage so
that the bill got into the president IS
hands before shutdown. There is not
much doubt but that the bill viii meet
with favorable treatment at the presi-
dent s hands, and Fort Worth may as
sure itself that one of its favorite projects
is no longer in doubt.
TO LOCATE A HARBOR.
The house agreed to the senate resolu-
ton put on the sundry civil bill providing
for survey of the Texas coast, than
which no more important item of legisla-
lion as Idr DIS I6AdS Is concerned mas
been passed during this session of con-
gress.
FEDERAL. COURTS.
1t is definitely settled that the Federal
court bill reported by Col. Culberson s
committee will locate one court at Paris
and the other at Muskogee, in the Indian
Territory. This leaves Denison out alto
gether, but doubtless there was no other
way by which an agreement between the
house and the senate committee could
have been reached, A vigorous effort
was made by Judge Hurd in the interests
of the latter city.
CAPITAL CULLIGGS.
On motion of Mr.. Culberson the house
adopted a conference report which pro-
vides for the charging of juries in Federal
courts according to the rules prevailing
in the states where the court is held.
There is not likely TO be any fflibuster-
ing on the part of Col Mills and his adj
herents against consideration of the
CowIes bill, but the former will insist on
considering other items of revenue re-
duction by the abolition of internal rev.
enue taxes.
Nearly all the Texas members will
leave for their homes in the early part of
the ensuing week.
There is yet a chance that the bill Gre
ating a court to try Indian depredations
claims will become a law ere congress
adjourns.

"RENDER UNTO CESAR THE THINGS
THAT ARE CESAR'S!"

The bay geldlng Legal Tender, record
2:27i, Philadelphia, Pa, September ID,
1879, was bred by Samuel Chadd of Put
nam county, Ind, and from him passed
into the hands of Sam Hymer, Parke
county. Ind, who trained and trotted him
in races. He sold him to Mr.. Cross of
Evansville, Ind, who in turn sold him to
5. G.. Turner, Philadelphia, who, under
the management of John III. Phillips. gave
him the above record. The sire of this
gelding was not Legal Tender, but
Chadd's Red Buck, the grandsire of Frank
Landers, 2;1Sf. The dam of this gelding
was Eliza Jane, a great premium mare,
once owned by Sylvester Barnard of Mar
tinsville, Ind, and exhibited for some
years by John Edwards. She was sired
by a horse called Boston, brought from
Kentucky and stood in Putnam and Hen
bricks counties. Her dam was by Will
Jams Highlander, that appeared in Vol. |.
Wallace's TrOtting Register. He grand
dam was Chadd's old premium mare, a
uduShtVi NoouPcNhCi, 9'h ~
rand. out of a mare by Medoc; at least
the Indiana Agricultural Reports oflS51,
when she was exhibited at the State fair,
show that he there claimed that to be her
breeding, and at that time there was lit
tie or no motive to falsify pedigrees.
Chadd's Red Buck was by Old Red Buck
out of a running mare by Hawk Eye

WHERE VERMONT FARMERS FAIL.

VT'EhC NCnWON TAIL.
Having improved the farm so as to pro-
duce all the corn consumed upon it and
possibly mere, the farmer will begin to
realize that he can raise his own wheat
as well.
The wheat now produced annually in
the State is on an average but little more
than ten bushels to the farm. This is not
complimentary to the thrift of Vermont
farmers. 1t is an expensive system of
agriculture in this State for the farmers
to continually keep ''going out West to
mill" We do not need to do it. We dis
count the western farmers on cereals per
acre today we double discount them on
root crops and diary products and they
are nowhere on fast horses. The East
beats the West on nearly everything in
digenous to the soil, or 'to the manor
born," even to Il crop of presidential can
didates; for haven't we the peerless
Blaine, the winning Cleveland, the sapi-
ent Hoar, the gallant Hawley, the astute
Evarts, the diligent Depew, the eminent
i<'tiiiuIuSs lit ldltllltu DdNdlu. anu lllt
irrepressible and ubiquitous Butler;
while the West can only show the sound
and solid Sherman, the faithful, compe-
tent Lincoln, the popular Allison, and the
ornate and incisive Ingalls-yes, and one
more presidential product of the prairie
the terrific John p. st. John? This is
about the size of the relative resources
per quarter section of the East and the
thing of a vampire upon the East, suck
ing its abnormal growth largely from
eastern substance. The farms of YER
mont will never be improved as they can
be and ought to be, so long as the people
here find enchantment in western loans.
The practice of pouring a constant stream
of eastern money into prairie soil creates
fictitious values there, and enfeebles in
all permanent improvements. ,makes the
younger class of farmers restless and dis
contented, and virtually depletes one sec
lion to develop another.
