A Little Talk About the Refrigerator
Situation in Texas.
A Big Cattle Sale 10 Cincinnati Parties Re-
pOried-Rrports from the Range.
Stock News.

Col. Charles Goodnight Of the commit
tee appointed by the cattlemen s conven-
ton 10 examine the refrigerator plants
at Victoria, Columbus and Fort Worth,
In view of the fact that the cattlemen
viii give substantial assistance to the re-
frieerator plan TO improve the cattle in
terests, was in the city yesterday on his
return home from his trip to Columbus
and Victoria. 4 GAZETTE man had
short conversation with him about the
matter, aud was informed that so far as
the Columbus and Victoria parties were
concerned that the proposition made by
the committee was perfectly salts
factory, and accepted by those
owning the plants at these points.
1t appears, however, that if Fort
Worth is to receive any benefit from the
plan now on foot by the cattlemen, she
must go to work and build a refrigera-
tor. The committee will meet in this
city on April 10, when the report will DO
forwarded, and upon II future action
will be based.
1t is now regarded as a certainty that
the Victoria and Columbus plants will
soon DE in operation, and if Fort Worth
goes TO work and bestirs herself at once,
one will be built and will be In operation
here. The present condition of affairs
may result III the erection of
new refrigerator in Fort Worth, and
if such is the case there is no
calculating the results that will eventuate
from it. Prompt action is needed,
however, and if it Is not taken the rich
prize now in the reach of our people
may go to some other point.
A weii-known and well-posted cet-
tleman remarked TO a GAZETTE reporter
yesterday that he felt satisfied that if
refrigerator was started up in this city
that all the leading cattlemen in North
west Texas would soon be citizens of
this city, being attracted 3 here by the
circumstance of this being made cat
tie center.
As far as can be learned about the
conference with the refrigerator men
by the committee, those owning the
plants at Victoria and Columbus were
willing to, and did accept the
proposition made by the committee, but
the owners of the plant at Fort
Worth was not inclined to do so and
8 Kicked out of the traces. - The Fort
Worth parties have third of the con-
tract with the English syndicate, pro-
vided they make bond of 500, 200 to
Col. r. E. Stafford of Columbus TO fur
nish one-third of the beef carcasses for
shipment. If this bond is not made, of
Vourse that third of the business goes
back to Col. Stafford, who has the entire
with the English parties. If
the Fort Worth parties make the bond 10
Col. Stafford and commence the work Of
il will be all right for Fort
Worth; otherwise it stands this city in |
hand TO erect a refrigerator TO act in |
unison with the cattlemen in this matter, |
and commence work at once.

THE TRACY DISASTER.
Rumors of the Confession of Trusted Servant

Rumors of the Confession of Trusted Servant
That She Set Fire to the House.
NEW YORK, March pa Washington
special in morning paper, printed with
large display, says: cit is confidential
ly stated in this city that the mystery
which has surrounded the firing. on Feb
rRary last, of Secretary Tracy's resi-
dence, at which time his wife and
daughter, as well as Swiss maidservant,
lost their lives, is about to be
cleared up. There are well sustained ru-
mors that Bridget Sweeney, the trusted
old servant, who had been living in the
secretary family for fourteen years or
more, has confessed that she fired the
house with kerosene. Her statement is
said 70 be that she poured the kerosene
all over the dining-room panneling as
far up the stairs as her oil would go.
She then lit u parlor gas, set fire to the
coal oil around the wainscoting, and
went to church. No motive whatever is
assigned for the terrible deed, and no
possible incentive except insanity -
