An American traveller relates that
while In Germany he was the guest OF u
noted German botanist and florist, who
delighted him with view Of all the
flowen that could be grown In that eli.
mate and Of many that required hot

scientist. II will show you what con.

all, and therefore have reserved It to
the last. only regret that II Is an an
hual and will flower only in the warm
- and most sheltered position" He
then guided his guest 10 corner OF the
garden where the sun shone strongest
upon two stone walls. and In tho angle
were two corn stalks in full tassel.
"There~ he exclaimed with enthu-
siasm; ''are they not lovely3"
"What, thatr said the American;
l"why, I can see thousands Of acres Of
that at home any day In the season.

These stops represent loss of nearly

The Fight at Graham, Texas.
Special to Times-Democrat.

Special to Times Democrat.
GRAHAM, Jan. 20.- Yesterday Ed
Johnson. United States deputy mar.
shall, WAS ordered by Gen. Cabell to
take the four NARROW brothers to
Weatherford. At $50 p. NJ. johnson
left with the prisoners, taking also
W. B. Burkhart and Lewis Cliff, two
other prisoners. The latter two were
to be taken to Fort Worth. The fol-
lowing persons we're with johnson as
guards: 7. A. Martin, Sam Wagner,
]. d. Gerard, Sam Cresswell, Marion
Wallace, Jr,, and William Hollis.
Two miles east of Graham, on the
bank Of DRY creek, mob attacked the
party from both sides of the road.
One Of the mob pulled johnson from
the hack. Then commenced q general
discharge of firearms, resulting in the
death of Sam Creswell, one of the
guards, and the wounding of johnson
in his left hand Alb and Eph NARROW
were killed. OF the mob Frank
Harmason and Bruce Wheeler were
killed and Eugene Logan dangerous ly
wounded.
The other two Marlows, Burkhart
and Cliff, escaped, taking with them
on9 OF the hacks and horses. The
Marlows who escaped were chained to
the dead brothers, bnt with knife
they cut off the legs of the dead men at
the ankle, and thus freed themselves.
A messenger has Just come to town and
says the two Marlows and one other
prisoner who escaped are wounded, and
are at the house where Sheriff Wallace
was killed, fourteen miles south of
Graham Parties have gone to bring
them to town. The fight took place
two and a half miles from town. A
large posse has been made up here,
and are in pursuit of the members of
tie mob. Sheriff Richardson has
wired the Sheriffs at Henrietta, Vernon
Wichita, Cisco, Abilene and Colorado
City. Excitement at Graham is at
fever heat
It appears that this affair was a
sequence to another that occurred
Friday night. Boone NARROW, one of
the four brothers rmentioned above, all
of whom were of bad reputation and
accused of various thefts, killed Sheriff
Marion Wallace, of Young county, on
the 18th of last December while the
latter was attempting to arrest him.
MARROW escaped, but his brothers
were arrested as accessories. Later
they broke jail, but were captured, and
Friday night a mob of about thirty
men attacked the Jail at Graham with
the purpose of lynching them. The
mob failed in their object, however,
and Saturday night the prisoners under
strong guard were started for
weatherfcrd for safer keeping.

4 Sensation at jackson. Mss.


Specialize Times Democrat.
Jackson, Jan. l9.-There was more
than ordinary excitement here to-day
when it was learned that Drs. G. K.
Harrington and John f. Hunter, to-
ge.her with Druggists Smythe aud
Hughes. had pleaded guilty in the
Circuit Court Of ttis district to an
indictment for selling Hostetter Bitters
and were, by Judge Chrisman, fined
$50 each and sentenced to Jail for two
months.
Drs. Harrington and Hunter are
prominent physicians in this city, each
having a large practice and standing
high, both in their profession aud
socially. The same may be said of the
business and social standing of the two
druggists.
The grand jury petitioned Governor
Lowry for a pardon, III which
400 citizens of the city joined. The
excitement that prevailed among all
classes induced the Times Democrat
correspondent to call at the executive
office aud learn the result Of the petit
tio1.
A committee, headed BY Judge CAL
hoon, had just retired. The petition
was sent by the Governor to the Judge
by bis private secretary, asking such
EN- hsement as he thought just. The
petition was returned to the Gov
ernor Endorsed by the judge: mo
remarks to make: submitting the whole
subject to the better judgment of the
Governor.
In response to an inquiry of the
Times Democrat correspondent the Gov
ernor stated that the physicians each
have a number Of patients; that they
are both gentlemen above reproach,
and that either of them had ever
before been charged with violating the
law; that he believed there was no in
tention to do SO in this in
stanc, for they had been selling the
bitters mentioned for years as medi-
cine, and that in the exercise OF the
authority conferred on the Executive
by the Constitution and laws, he felt it
his duty to remit the imprisonment.
The Times-Democrat correspondent
then asked the Governor if he thought
the judge too severe. He replied:
al will not say that, for regard
Judge Chrisman MS a learned lawyer
and an able Judge and Christian gem
tleman; but under the circumstances.
think the imprisonment can, without
detriment, be RENTED.
Your correspondent then asked the
Governor if, owing to the character Of
these cases, being a violation of the
prohibition law, would it not cause him
to be criticised.
He replied; II canno. tell. Inever
try to avoid Or excuse my official acts,
but assume the responsibility attached
to them, leaving an intelligent pn1I;slliie
r0rendgr an impartial VERDICT
The action Of the Governor in re.
hitting the imprisonment is received
with great satisfaction by the'public
here.
