At to-day's market the open weather

is now the focus of depression in the
British grain trade. Owing TO ex-
ceedingly heavy arrivals of Russian
wheat most of the samples of British
and foreign wheats were reduced Is.
American prices are still too high for
business, but the recent decline in New
York looks as though the
United States, instead of the
United Kingdom was about TO give
way. Ordinary stores of flour were Sd

ment at the Pratt mines, place near here

an unknown negro outraged Mrs.
Kelum in a lonely spot near here

have been in fever of excitement, and
they have been looking for the criminal.

on suspicion and taken to Mrs. Nelhim

answered in every case Not the man. -
One was brought in to-day, however, ut

exclaimed, "Take him away, he is the

she expressed some uncertainty and at
her request the lynching has been post

Ell PAso, TEX, Jan. IA short
time since, Spaniard by the name of
Jose Delaluz Calderon became infatuated
with a woman who was the wife of a
Frenchman named Gallon, who was liv
ing peaceably with his spouse and five
children on this side of the river. After
much wooing and persuasion the wife
returned the Spaniard 5 affection and
agreed to elope with him TO the other
side of the Rio Grande, where they lived
as man and wife, Notwithstanding the
husband lived on this side and knew of
the whereabouts of his recreant spouse.
Last evening, after shutdown, he crossed
the river and, gong directly to the house
of Calderon, called him out and pro-
ceeded to fill him with lead. He imme-
diately decamped and up TO this time has
not been apprehended. The people of
Juarez are of the opinion that Calderon
got his deserts and it is thought that
the officers are not anxious to come up
with his slayer. About two years ago a
brother of the deceased was killed in the
same town near the same place for sim
liar offence.

A SENSATION RECALLED.
Sad Story of the Fall of One Who Once Occupied
a Position of Prominence in Bust
ness and Society.

CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 1.-THE appear
ance of feeble, broken-down old man
in the Armory police court this morning
Ncalls a story which caused a sensation
I'm its day. The prisoner was L. W.
Powell, and he had been arrested while
drunk by Officer Dyke Justice Lyon
imposed S. fine and kindly suspended
execution, adding few words of advice
and commiseration which were
dictated by a sentiment of pity
for one who had been unfortunate
As managing editor of the Minneapolis
Tribune early in 20 Powell was in the
prime of life, health and mental vigor,
and possessed the respect and confidence
of his fellow citizens The marriage
which was celebrated between him and
Miss Burnham of Waterloo, Iowa, was
social event. After few brief weeks of
married life a great scandal arose. A
surgical operation developed the unsus-
peeted fact that Powell 8 ''wife - was
man. The unfortunate Powell took TO
drink and dissipation, and he seeks to
hide his sorrow and unenviable notoriety
in the byways of the big city. Mr. Burn
ham is now proprietor Of large theater
in Waterloo, Iowa, a wealthy and re-
speeted citizen.

hastily dressing ran over. He says:
1.-TWO sleep ers had been pushed by tilf
trainmen an passengers away from the
wreck, dis tance Of about six rods. The
combination baggage and express car and
passenger coaches were afire when
reached them. The passenger and
baggage ears had been telescoped and the
two engines we're thrown upon an en-
banlment. helped to take out the body
of Engineer Huntington.
THE GREATEST HORROR
came when the baggage car and smoker,
which telescoped with the common coach
took fire. Engineer Jones, of the Kent
yard engine, five miles off began looking
down the track, saw through the trees
the burning ears. After the accident
the two telescoped coaches appeared as
one, and from the shattered and burning
cars came groans and shTieks of the I'M
fortunates. Then came the scene of the
occasion, the strong struggling
to escape horrible death by
fire, the weak and helpless
wounded praying for succor from the
flames that were fast enveloping them.
One man, George Shaw, pinned in by
wreckage, managed by superhuman eff
forts to release his lower limbs and es-
capped, cut and bruised The last man
to get ont alive was abfe to grasp an ak
handle and retain his hold until he was
drawn through gap half dead but he
was quickly resuscitated. In the smoker
were eight Cinnamon. Five were pulled
out alive; three were never seen after the
crash, and bones and
BITS or. CIIARRED FLESH
gathered up in a bag were all that were
found of them.
OF the most pathetic of all the scenes
were those attending the death of little
Mary Ann Lyons, an orphan who was be-
ing sent through from Idaho on a second
class ticket to relatives in Cherry Creek,
N. Y, and Edward Peltzer, a
passenger going to New York, tells
this story of the orphans: l noticed
little girl who appeared to be alone,
and learned that she had a ticket through
to New York as second-class passenger.
She was sweet-faced child, and every
time / visited the smoker l interested
myself in her. She said her parents were
dead and she was going to Cherry Creek
to live with some relatives. When the
crash came 1 was in my berth in the
sleeper and received only slight shock.
Ny first thought was of little Mary, and
l rushed out of the car and to my horror
saw that the smoker was all in flames. L
went outside opposite the part
of the car where the little
one had sat, and found that
SIZE HAD BEEN WEDGED DOWN
by seat which had fallen on her. The
flames were already surrounding her,
ana finding she could not be rescued
fled from the spot, imagining could see
her pleading eyes and hear her dreadful
shrieks This unnerved me so that 1
threw myself down upon the ground and
sobbed. -
Another witness says the little
girl, whose shrieks were so
heartrending, released herself
just before the fire got to her, and for
moment CROPPED wildly about the prison
car, and then fell over choking, choled
by smoke. The flames quickly coming
up to her, completed the dreadful work.

THE ROADS.

A Rich and Prosperous County in the
Mud.
While in Fort Worth yesterday the
heavy rain did not impede travel owing to
the forty-one miles of splendid streets the
farmers who live off the few good roads
that Tarrant county has were unable TO
get to the city. A GAZETTE reporter
found three or four farmers from the
country and all told the same story that
aside from the road few miles out
toward BenbroOk, the road through
Sylvania, few miles of the White set
tlement road and a few miles of the Dem
ton road, the highways of Tarrant
county were nearly impossible. Bob
Rice, in charge of the county cOnvicts,
says he has thirty men at work on the
BenbroOk road, and what ten inches OF
gravel on graded roads will Go can be
easily seen. All who were spoken to said
it was a shame that q rich and
prosperous county like Tarrant should be
in the mud when people were willing,
yes, anxious, to have good roads and pay
for them; when all they asked was that
the road tax of - cents on the
500 be put TO good use, and
not fTittered away in vain attempts
at patchwork. Tarrant county is nearly

some of the leading Democratic organs

cuSing Mr.. Cleveland Of digging his own
grave and that of his party They flip
PANTY state that he set up q purely per-

the advice of trusted and recognized
party leaders, to follow his own counsel.
Whatever may have been the short
comings Of Cleveland it is easily demon
strated that had the party leaders
pulled together and done their full
duty Cleveland would have received
many more votes than the comparatively
few needed to overcome the Harrison
plurality in New York. The faults and
mistakes of the party leaders cannot be
concealed or atoned for by attacking the
president. But as the loss of the cleo
