BASELY DECEIVED.
Two New England Girls Misled Into a
Questionable Contract.
They Are to Recruit Variety Theater in GAL
weston, But After Learning the True
Nature of their Duties Return.

Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, Ten, Sept. 5.-The
steamship Rio Grands which arrived at
late hour last night from New York
had among her passengers fifteen girls
for Balls variety theater in Houston.
Susie Buck of Staten Island and Fannie
lockwood of Patterson, n. j., were
among the number. These girls by the
modest demeanor and quiet lady like
department attracted the attention of
Mr.. Kendall of the deaf and dumb
asylum at Austin, Tex, who was pas
senger on the Rio Grande. MIR. Kendall
got into conversation with the two girls
and asked them il they knew what kind
of place they were being taken to, and
from their replies found they had been
basely deceived. He then informed them
of its character and the kind of work they
were required TO do. They were horri-
fed and piteously pleaded with Mr.. Ken
dali to assist them out of their unfor-
tunate dilemma. This he promised to do
and at once held consultation with
Capt. Connors, narratiug to him
what the unfortunate girls had
told him. Capt. Connors told
Mr.. Kendall that he would do
all In his power TO protect the girls, and
that when the vessel arrived ct this port
if they did not wish to go TO their des-
tinatlon they could remain on board and
he would take them back to New York.
This morning the woman having in charge
the theatrical party threatened to make it
unpleasant for Miss Buck and Miss
lockwood if they did not leave the
steamer. She became SO boisterous that
the chief of police was telephoned. When
the chief appeared the woman became
quiet. He called for the two little girls,
sharply Intercepted them, and
learned that when they signed the
contract in New York they did
not know its contents. Miss Buck
said "Mr. Bell engaged us himself, but
deceived US as to the true character of
the place. Rather than go to such a
place L would end my life by jumping
overheard. Miss lockwood was
equally as emphatic in her statements.
The chief of police, convinced of the
honesty of the girls, told them he would
see that they were not troubled land if they
desired to return home on the Rio
Grande they could do SO. They are fine
looking girls between eighteen and
twenty years of age, and from their
manner and department have been well
reared, but are ignorant of the ways of
the world. All necessary arrangements
have been made for their return, and
they will sail on the Rio Grande for their
homes tomorrow morning.

A PREACHER living near Reno, Kan.
who had the grace to fall in love with
and propose matrimony to a comely
widow living in the neighborhood, was
visited by masked men few nights ago,
taken out, dragged at the heels of a
horse, beaten into insensibility, and then
fastened to the ground with forked sticks
and left there to die or not, as the case
may be. Is it possible that such outrages
can happen in the land of saints, in In
gals holy kingdom, where every sanoti-
fed jayhawker utters cry of horror
whenever a Mississippi negro breaks his
legs in running from the sheriff?

A CHANGE OF SENTIMENT,

The Kansas state Republican conven-
ton Endorsed Harrisou's administration
although it struck down last spring by g
ruling of Secretary Window the most ex-
tensive industry IN the state, the smelt-
| ing and refining works. The lead ore
tax provided for in the tariff bill, which
| tax is as odious in Kansas as the tea tax
| in Boston in colonial days, is an admin
istration measure. Yet hating it as the
the devil is said to do holy water, they
endorse" the authors of it. Was there
ever such sacrificing loyalty?
They call for service pensions, al
though congress is morbund and almost
on the eve of adjourning. Of
course. 1t is scarcely possible
for three Kansas Republicans to come
together without organizing themselves
INTO committee of some sort and re-
solving that they can never be happy or
satisfied unless dear, good, old Uncle
Samuel gives a humping pension to
every patriot who injured his back jump
They demand deep water on the gulf,
which proves that they have some busI-
ness sense anyway, if they have none of
the political sort. Perhaps their banker
ing for deep water is fortified considera-
bly, by their prohibition sentiments. But
no matter. 1t is all right.
They Endorsed "the official acts of
Senators Plumb and Ingalls, They
might have omitted ingalls, from
the Endorsement, for 1t would
puzzle the shrewdest Jayhawker
alive to find with microscope a single
official act of that gentleman unless
skinning q Democrat now and then be
one. And as Plumb has been trying to
kick holes IN the tariff wall which he was
elected to build higher, the reason for
indorsing him is not very clear.
They declare against the alien owner
ship of land. A sop to the farmer.
How are they on the tariff? Oh, that
is the subject on which they spread
themselves. Hitherto no tariff bill was
too rank for a jayhawker. The tariff
could hardly be made high enough for
hun, He is q great admirer of Blaine,
and If that tattooed spokesman had said:
."Let US neither buy from nor
sell a pound or bushel of anything
whatever to foreign nation or people, -
the Kansan would yell amen, and de-
clare in favor of taking the life of any
man who would oppose the proposed en-
barge.
But now that is all changed. Blaine
has Topped, and Kansas fops with him.
Not a word is said about the Mckinley
bill, but ''the principle of protection as
expounded by James G. Blaine'' is in
dorsed with vim. As Brother Blaine has
not done any expouneing of the sort for
some time, not at least since he fulmi- |
mated his Paris dispatch in reply to |
tariff message, or since he |
stumped Indiana for little Ben, the per-

November elections will not prove such
ga dire disaster'' as did those of 1874 or
1882. "There is" it says, "no, cor

years. Well, that is news indeed. No
corruption and general rascality in high

ENGINEER DOWD.
His Body Is Found Under the Burning Mass
Terribly Charred.

Terribly Cnafreu'
| Special to the Gazette.
| DENIsoN, TEX, Sept. 1.-The par
tlculars of the death of Engineer Henry
Dowd ut Summit yesterday in the Mis-
souri,. Kansas and Texas wreck are just
at hand. When it was discovered that
Dowd was under the overturned engine
and the mass of wreckage was then on
fire, vain attempt was made to subdue
the flames. 1t was impossible
to get near the wreck on ac-
count of the intense heat. Work
men commenced as soon as possible look
ing for the entombed engineer, and not
until 5:I5 this morning was he fully To-
Gated. A tunnel under a carload of
burning oats was made and a workman
found a oharred hand, then a leg, and
later the body was dug out and it pre-
scented a horrible spectacle. Both legs
were burned off the right arm gone, and
only stump of burnt bone
showed where that member belonged.
He was found penned under the boiler
head, and a terrible wound on the left
side of the head proved that death over
took him ere the flames burnt and
eharred his body into an unrecognlzable
shape. Lying on his face when found,
his left arm thrown forward to protect
his face, his hand full OF grass, proves
that he at least made one struggle
to free himself of the mighty weight
that pinned him to the earth and
death. The remains were placed on some
gunny sacks, then into coffin box and
brought to Denison at 2:30 this evening.
From the baggage Car the box was borne
on the shoulders of men of his order and
calling and escorted to the undertaker's
shop, where the remains were trans
ferred to q coffin and later laid to rest in
the shade of the trees that adorn CAL
vary cemetery. The services were under
the auspices of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, and took place at 4: 80
this evening.

IN his Portland speech, which was
largely glorifcation of himself, Boss
Reed declared that congress should econ
omize further in the use Of its time BY
suspendIng the practice of adjourning
when q member dies. The idea is not a
bad one by any means. But If the time
saved in that way for useful legislation,
is to be consumed in political legislation
for the benefit of the e. o. p, in wash
ing the party's dirty linen, aud in pro-
fame and indecent harangues and slug

better to leave the situation as 1t is, or

SERMONS IN TREES.

There are strong efforts being made to
save from further devastation region
in the state of New York known as the
Adirondack. Once the entire section
was thickly set with grand forest trees
and now for seventy miles, from Platts-
burg to Saranac Lake, the country is
bare, showing naked rocky hillsides with
little or no soil and bristling with char
red stumps. The surface is so forbidding
that but little attempt has been made at
cultivation, and much of this clearing is
due to the building of railways in that

THE VERMONT ELECTION

A revolution in Vermont! The Green
Mountain boys are getting the klndling
wood out Of their eyes at last, and begin
to see themselves as others see them
Deceived, cajoled and humbugged by
Senators Edmunds and Morrill, for more
than generation, they begin to realize
their condition, and find that they are
living on husks and chaff instead of the
milk and honey promised them by their
false prophets. A falling off of 10 200 in
the total of the Republican vote, and the
gain of nineteen Democratic represen ia
tives in the state legislature is
a most surprising and significant re-
suit. 1t is rebuke to those hoary old
political chestnuts, Edmunds and Nor
and proHigacy of the present congress :,
to Reedism, and to the vapid iuanity of
the Harrison administration. The result
is fearful falling off, one that will
make the robbers and plunderers quake
in their shoes, as it is only the premoni-
tory symptoms and distant rumbling of
the great storm that is to devastate the
Republican ranks in November. When
Vermont, the citadel of radicalism, goes
back on the party the skies are almost
ready to fall and the most wonderful
things to happen. Look out for the
ground swell in November, men and
brethren. The dies ire of the plunderers
is approaching.

William Williams, a Member Of the NARROW
Mob, Released on Account OF III Health.
Special to the Gazette,
SHERMAN, Tex, Sept. civilian
Williams, for several months inoarce-
rated in the Sherman jail by authority of
the United States, charged with CO.. spir-
acy to injure and Cypress citizen of
civil rights and murder said citizen
had habess corpus hearing in chambers
to-day before Judge David E. Bryant,
judge of the Eastern district of Texas.
Williams sought liberation from the
prison until the regular term of court at
Graham on the ground of inability to
longer withstand the confinement of
prison life. His health is shattered and
few more weeks would have ended his
existence. The judge heard the attor-
neys III the warden Office at the jail,
and he was not long in granting bail in
each of the four cases IN the sum of
$500 in each. Friends of Williams were
on hand and Immediately executed bond
for the amount, and ere this he is home
ward bound TO see his wife and family.
Williams was tried and acquitted in
the state courts for being con-
spiratOr and leader IN the mob of
the NARROW boys who escaped in Young
county several months ago riddlsd with
bullets. The United States steps in upon
the civil rights clause to redress the
wrong. Judge Bryant informed your
correspondent that he allowed bail be-
cause longer confinement would kill
Williams and then again he may not be
guilty. He made q good bond and can
now go and recuperate his failing health.
His sureties are B. I. Carpenter of Sher-
man, A. Medlan, Floyd Shock and } A.. {.

A NASHVILLE paper states that two
cars loaded with school girls, one from
Texas and one from Arkansas, passed
through that city en- route for schools.
AS the schools mentioned have no supe-
rlority either in location or other advan-
tages over schools in Texas, it is hard to
parents and guardians to send young
girls from home. If this state is ever to
possess superior educational advantages,
it must be through home patronage.

THE Houston Post raises its voice in
condemnation of the authorities of that
city for permitting the existence of ''the
viIest dens of iniquity that the imagina-
ton can paint" in every ward of the
city, "neXt door to respectable families,
within earshot OF school houses, in the
shadow of churches, and brazenIy facing
the courts of justice. F" If things are as
bad as that in Houston, little birthstone
and fire would appear to be in order.
But, seriously, too much can hardly be
said in condemnation of such condition
of things, or of the public sentiment that
ignores, or of the city government that,
having the power to cauterize and burn
away the foul moles and eye-offending
marks, permits them to lu1uriate in rank
corruption.

SECRETARY's OFFICE.
FoET WORTH, Tex, Aug. Il, 1881.
A convention of delegates from trade
and manufacturing organizations, munio-
qualities and people interested in devel-
oping the manufacturing and mercantile
interests of Texas has been called to
meet in Fort Worth on September "a,
1890, for the purpose of devisinS ways
and means to induce capital to seek our
state and accomplish this object.
The advantage to accrue to the people
of Texas by having our raw material,
found in endless quantity In this state,
manufactured into merchantable COM
modities must be patent to every mind
that has given the subject careful con-
sideration. Manufacturers are disposed
to come to our state, capitalists are ia
vorsbly disposed, but there has been no
united action to place before them the
facts about our resources and the vast
Held open to them and wholesale mer-
chants. This convention IS called to
meet the demand made upon the state.
1t is proposed to have Eastern and
Northern manufacturers and capitalists
present at our deliberations. Governor
Ross has expressed a willingness to CO.
operate in the matter.
To this end you are cordially invited
and requested to send one or more dele
gates from your organization, munich
pality or county to this convention.
Efforts will be made to arrange with the
railway companies for reduced rates TO
delegates and others who attend. As
the time is short we respectfully urge
immediate action and request that you
send TO the secretary of the Fort Worth
chamber of commerce the names of
those selected to represent you IN the
convention.
