THE ATHLETIC GIRL.


She rides, and walks, and runs, and rows
She's quick and energetic.
How she turns up her pretty nose
At all the woes pathetic
Which I'LL her weaker sisters mindss
And keep them all complaining;
Her greatest 10y in life she finds
In her athletic training.
She boxes, fences, rides and swims.
And keeps her blood In motion
While other women nurse their whima,
And sigh for mans devotion.
She's never known to have the blues
To headaches she's . stranger,
You NAV be sure that she'd refuse
To faint at sight Of danger.
A perfect woman, full Of health
And life, all men adore her.
To her they'd gladly bring their wealth.
And lay IL down before her
But she, Disna-life, 10 cold.
And hates their l0ve-sick signing,
And so she stops their wooing bold,
And sends her lovers Tying.
She's cold but there will come some dsy
A man who's At to WOO her,
And then, tho moro che says him nays
The closer he'u pursue her.
To love she'll yisld-somo happy dsv
She'll give hsrseH In marriage.
Later her strength win come In play

ref.ses to become part of the city. 1t is not
precisely clear what Chicago can do about 1t.

is to wait for the dominant opinion of Fernwood

joice in having something the like Of which is

A good many people living within olfactory
reach of Barren Island will be glad that the State
Board of Health has turned Its attention to that
decidedly unsavory subject. There is little room
for doubt that Barren Island as it u.s. and has

be searching and drastic A mitigation Of the evil
will not be sufficient. The wiping-out of the

RAILWAY MATTERS.
RAILROAD LAW.

Rights of Passenger Who Through a Mis-
take Gets the Wrong Train.
IN the case of Patry Va. the Chicago,
St. Paul, etc. railroad company, the SUI
preme court of Wisconsin held as follows:
If person upon entering train
showed the brakeman her ticket, which
was in fact TO ride on another road, but
the brakeman assisted her upon the
train, the conductor was not justified IN
putting her off the train at stopping
place, because she had no money to pay
her fare, unless such place is a reason
ably safe and convenient point from
which she can most eXpeditiously reach q
train on the road on which she wishes to
travel. and it is not material that the
conductor does not know that she showed
her ticket to the brakeman.
If person holding ticket on one
road, upon entering a train upon an
other road, does not show her ticket to
the brakeman, but goes upon the train
by reason of her own mistake and neg
lects or refuses to pay her fare when the
conductor demands it, the latter is JUS

Biniue.
While the Republicans are hunting
around for crumbs of comfort the DEM
oCrats are beginning to talk OF the
oRGANIZATIoN OF THE NEXT HOUSE,
and of course all gossip just now Is about
the speakership. A number of candi-
dates have announced themselves and
the Indications point to a lively contest.
There are enough candidates in the field
to make il lively.
There is no warrant for the statement
that Mr.. Mills of Texas is not a candi-
date. He Is q candidate. His friends
will work for HIM with great confidence
and enthusiasm. He will probably have
stronger support in the North and East
than the casual observer would expect.
During the past two campaigns he has
been on the stump north of the
MASON AND DIXON LINE
a great deal, and he has thus become
better known there than heretofore dur
ing the campaign just closed. Some
conspicuous Democratic gains have been
made in places where he has been talk
ing tariff and this will be argued
in his favor. He is said to
have made quite an impression on the
Democrats of Massachusetts. Still the
reputation which has long been given
him of being "a fire-eeter' is apt TO do
unjustly.

Special to the Gazette.
CORsICANA, Ten, Nov. S.-A terri
bic tragedy was enacted at the Mallory
hotel of this city about s O'Clock to-
night, resulting in the death of Will A.
Vallie and his young wife. The
particulars are as follows: Mr..

Waco, come to the city yesterday ami

ing the clerk be would return to-day
with his wife, and would accept posi-
ton with the Houston and Texas
Central, running out of here.
He arrived this morning ac-
companied by her, and everything
moved along smoothly until tonight,
when they retired TO their room.
Soon after, three shots in rapid
succession were heard, and the
night clerk, rushing to the room
occupied by them, found the wife
lying across the bed in a dying condition,
and the husband dead, with a smoking
40 caliber British bulldog pistol in his
hand. On investigation it proved that
he first shot her once through the head
and then through the neck. He
then shot himself through the
head. dying instantly. There is
no cause known for the rash act, as
nothing is known of their history. The
wife is from Kopperl, Tex, and before
marriage to Vsllie, which occurred about
one year ago, was Miss Laura Lewis.

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Nov. flames
Layton, aged 81 years, was remanded to
iail to-day in default of bail, for coun-
terfelting. Layton is an historical char
acter. and perhaps the oldest counter
feiter in America. He was first con-
victed in the federal court here
i'll 1873, and given two years for
couuterfeiting. A short while after be-
ing released he was overhauied by the
Federal court In Eastern Texas, and
given five years for the same offense. He
hasn' I been out of the penitentiary more
than two years aud was caught at his
old tricks at Yoakum several days ago.
He makes splendid presentment
of the trade dollar, using
q compound of melted glass, lead and
other metals and coats the whole with
silver. He has succeeded in flooding
this part OF the state with his spurious
coins before being detected. He has de-
voted his life to the business and takes
his arrest with remarkable GOODNESS.

master Sherwood of the Washington

wards Richard Quay, son of Senator

one standing near remarked: 'He $
dead; it goes to the dead letter office
now, - and Mrs. Watkins, who was on

peated the remark. Mr.. Quay, it is
said. seemed to regard the matter as 8

Particulars of Terrible Election Day
Duel in Kentucky.
The Challenge Of a Negroes Vote Caused Il
The Parties 70 the AFFAIR Prominent in
Esta'l County.

| LEXINGTON, KY. Nov. S.-The ter
! of which only meager mention was made
in these dispatches, turns out to have
been one of the most terrible encoun-
tiers IN the annals of Kentucky. Irvine,
county seat of Estell county. is almost
cut off from the rest of the world, and
details of the awful tragedy have been
slow in reaching the newspapers. The
men engaged in the affair were Dr.. p.
Lilley, q prominent young physician of
the town, son OF Judge A. Clay Lilley,
on one side and John Wilson, commits
siouer of common schools in Estell
county, on the Othe side. Lilley was
Republican and Wilson Democrat.
Lilley brought a negro 10 the polls
to vote, when Wilson challenged
his right to cast a ballot. The judges
coincided with Wilson, and the negro
was rejected. This fired up Lilley and
some words ensued between him and
Wilson, resulting in the drawing of pis-
tolls by both men. Lilley got his weapon
out readily, while Wilson's hung in his
hip pocket anu was accidentally dis
charged before he could level il. In the
meantime he received two balls from
his antagonist, the balls lodging near
the heart. The woun.s were not imme-
diately fatal and dreadful combat
was commenced. Wilson got his weapon
free and fired two shots, one OF which
struck Lilley near the heart. About this
time Wilson 8 brother interfered and
succeeded IN wrestling Lilley's weapon
from his hands. Nothing daunted, and
almost in the throes of death, he drew u
knife and made several fatal stabs in his
enemy's body. Both fell to the ground,
but the terrible duel was not over.
With his last ebbng strength Wilson
raised up aud fred the last load of his
pistol at Grant Lilley, brother of DR..
LilIey, who had appeared on the
satisfied with this, Wilson crGwled over
to where his antagonist lay and buried
the hammer of his pistol in his head.
Lilley died in few minutes, while Will
son fingered until the next day.
In addition to the men named as hav-
ing been shot, three outside persons re-
ceIved balls, but were not seriously hurt. |
Altogether the affair was the most !
desperate that ever occurred in Estelle |
county.
\ dispatch received here last night |
says Grant Lilley is also dead.
All engaged in the difficulty were !
prominent men i'll Estelle county. Judge |
Lilley has guined national reputation |
by trying the mountain desperadoes of |
kentucky for their offences.

Galveston, which radiate every portion
OF Texas and the states to the

Mr.. Thomas d. Sporer, a promin en-

yesterday, and to a GAZETTE reporter
stared that the people of Jack county
were anxious for railroad connection
with Fort Worth, but had began to lose
hope of getting it.
Fort Worth can well afford to build
the Albuquerque road to Jacksboro, -
he said. "and if she would only do it
her benefits would be immense. The
entire country that would be traversed
by the road would become tributary to
this city, and the trade of it is worth
much. We are watching Fort Worth.
