u have the pleasure to announce to you that
harmony has prevailed in this branch of the
order during the year. There have been no
cases of appeal brought to this body and no
cases of discOrd reported to me. From the
reports submitted from the different en-
campments it will be seen that there is
healthy growth in this branch, both in men,
bership and in finances, and can see no rea-
son why the coming years may not be more
prosperous even than this"

FIGHTING THE FOUR.

The Probabilities Are That Big Battle is on
Hand between the FIagIer and Armour
Syndicates.
Some days ago THE GAZETTE prophe-
sled the fact that new cattle syndicate
with capital of S25, 600 900, headed by
J.H. Flagler, had been organized for
the purpose of downing the big Four
beef combine, at the head of which is
Phil Armour. A special telegram to
the New York Herald from its Chicago
correspondent, referring to this syndi-
cate and its intentions, says:
More than ordinary interest was created
to-day by the announcement that q syn
dicate with a capital of $25, 900 900 !,
headed by J. H Flagler, proposed to
make it hot for the big Four beef
combine, which operates here and at
Kansas City, of which Phil Armour is
recognized as the master spirit. The
scheme of the syndicate, however, is not
entirely new, for Armour, Swift and the
others of the 81 Big Four have estab-
lished markets of their own at various
points and sold meat direct without the
Intervention of middlemen, thus cutting
ont the butchers and making them Ar
mour S deadly enemies.
At one time Armour delivered meat in
Chicago in other wagons than his own so
great was the feeling against him, the
retail butchers here having entered into
a combination against the beef king TO
.sdown him - Armour has thousands
of customers ut his stock yards and retail
houses, and does q mammoth business,
while he has also retail houses in Kansas
City and other places. Poor people go to
the stock yards and lay in a week sup
ply at a time, while persons who are in
good circumstances do the same thing
OF course the butchers don t like this !,
but they can't help themselves, while
Armour, in reply to their complaints,
simply asks them if there is any law
against his furnishing the public with
cheap meat?
If this new syndicate, however, thinks
il can - get away with Armour easily
it will find itself mistaken, for he pro-
poses TO fight, and as he represents prob
ably SIS, 900 900 himself, two-thirds of
which belongs TO him personally; he has
something to fight with. The probabili-
ties are, therefore, that a big battle is
on hand, the result of which viii be that
meat will become cheap, thus rendering
legislation on the point unnecessary
When Mr.. Armour was seen to-day he
said: don I know much about the
syndicate, but believe it to be quite
that such scheme was afoot Ny in
formation tallies with the dispatch. The
organizers are the prominent men in the

ever formidable the rival may be, or
seem to be, we will continue to do busl-
ness at the old stand, a continuance OF
former patronage being solicited We
win supply beef for a few days at least
N. K. Fairbank, the lard king, and
the big man at present in the wheat mar
ket, is anxious to do something in the
beef line, and it is said he is anxious to
measure swords with Armour, of whom
he has long been jealous.

DECATUR.
Perjury Case that is Attracting Considerable
Attention.


Attention.
Special TO the Gazette.
DECATUR, TEX. Feb. &c The evening
has been taken up and jury not yet
completed in the case against NJ. B
Griffith of Denton, charged with perjury
The trial of Griffith is attracting consid-
cradle attention from the fact that he is
indicted for giving false testimony upon
the trial of Bunk Allen for
the murder of Tom Gill on April
5, 1885, Griffith is charged III the
Indictment of swearing falsely
when he swore that in the difficulty which
resulted in Gill's death, Gill fired the
first shot. The trial viii likely consume
several days as there are many witnesses,
the town being full of people when the
killing took place on the public square.
Mrs f. T. Beville left this evening for
an extended visit to relatives in Ken
lucky.
Col. A. Cohen and family leave this
evening for their home in Cincinnati.
The Decatur mining company are about
getting in shape to do something The
company are men who are determined to
find out whether there is any mineral
here worth anything, and if there is not
they will let it be known. They have
too much interest in the prospects of
Decatur to make false statements about
the matter with intent to work up boom
which would in the end be detrimental to
the place.

Unneedea and Needed legislation.

Special to the Gazette.
TExARKANA, TEX, Feb. 26.-THE GA
zErTE reporter has not eanvassed this
city to learn the views of the business
men concerning the railroad commission
bill, but has incidentally heard many ex-
pressions of opinion. Many prominent
and successful business men here think
that the inter state commerce bill was a
failure They desire above all things
now, If legislalation is attempted with
a view of regulating personal affairs,
that stringent laws be passed requiring
every man TO attend to and run his own
business. It is thought by many that
the efforts of oratory put forth in favor
and against the bill now pending might
well and usefully be applied to enact
ments for the improvement of wagon
reads and amendments to the common
school law.
