He Wants to Keep the Democrats in the House
by Means OF Bolts.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-It is asserted
that Speaker Reed intends to keep the
Democrats in the house by force if neces-
sary, even if he provokes riot in the
attempt. His plan is to have strong
bolts put on the doors of the house lead
ing into the lobby and then he can lock
the doors as he did yesterday. By this
means he hopes to goad the Democrats to
breaking down the doors. If he adopts
this arbitrary method, it Is predicted
that scenes will occur that will beggar
anything that has occurred this session :,
and Democrats will not be the only par
Elephants,
An alien contract law is now on the
statute books but it is practically inoper-
alive. Loop holes were left which al
lowed the law to be evaded. 1t was
drawn up by ignorant labor leaders. The
law has not accomplished the purpose in
tended, and has done little more than
authorize the arrest of few preachers
who came under call from churches in
this country. Another similar law was
passed by the house this session. 1t is
said by a prominent legal member of the
house who has made such legislation q
study that this measure will not be any
more effectual than the one now on the
statute books. "Why,' said he, sit is
not intended to be.

Married at Midnight - Residence Burned.
Correspondence Of the Gazette.
BLACK JACK GROVE, TEX. Sept. 23.-
Last night about 1890 a. m. Rev. D.
Taylor was awakened from his silent
slumber, and on reaching his door was
conf ronted by two couples from Hunt
county, who informed him they wanted
to be married at once. Everything being
in legal shape they were invited in, and
the knot was tied between Mr.. Will jack
son and Miss Lilley Grain and Mr.. Lee
McClatohey and Miss c. B. Hiliand.
They were accompanied by several of
their friends, and Immediately after the
ceremony they departed in the same
silent and mysterious way as they came.
At about2 O'Clock this morning Mr..
Womby Smiths residence. about one
mile southeast of town was discovered on
fire, and before his family, who were
sound asleep in the house, could scarcely
realize their condition and get out, the
whole building was enveloped in the
lurid flames. The loss fell very heavy,
as scarcely any of his household effects
were saved, and 1t was almost q miracal
that his children were rescued from the
burning building. The loss will probably
foot up about $1,000 or more, and in
surance not known.
Mr.. j. A. Brewer, saloon keeper, sold
out his entire stock yesterday to Nc
KInley & Fry, who will continue the
business.

Last of the Convent Case.

JOrrespOnuehCe
MARIENFELD, TEX, Sept. 20.-The
district court was in session this week
only q few days. There was little work
TO be done. One young man by the
name of Price was sent to the state re-
formatory for five years for horse theft.
Adam Konz, who the papers said fig
ured in the convent case, was discharged +,
there being no evidence against him.
This is the end OF the great convent
scandal. After rigid investigation all
those accused have come out without
scratch, there being no truth in the

New England Farms.

This is what Governor Owen OF
Minneapolis says;
I'VE zee 1t stated In some New En-
gland papers that the cheap farms OF
that region are being bought up-at
from $500 to $500 per acre-by rich
people in the cities to be used as sum-
mer homes. A farm of 100 acres or
more, with its varied scenery Of hill,
vale, stream and wood, can he bought
for less price than an ordinary build
ing lot at fashionable summer re-
sort on sea coast or river. This is all
very well from the standpoint of
those rich people in cities who can
afford the luxury Of summer homes
in the country. But how Is 1t with
the farmers who are displaced at such
q sacrifice! How il it with an eco
nomic system which produces such
results, is it good! How much of the
rural improvement of New England
is represented in the wealth OF bank
er, Mechant or manufacturer who
now buys rural homes Of grand di-
mansions as child buys q toy, to be
used for temporary pleasure and then
thrown aside Is of too small moment
to be worthy Of consideration!
