omnivorous reader. His handsome
bachelors ''den" in the old Coney Island
Club rooms is absolutely overrun with
books-from the library proper they
overflow into the drawing room and
even tho bedchamber. A splendid ath-
letic man is Ridgway Moore, magnifi-
cent in physique, tall and spare like q
veritable soldier. His military training
can still be traced in the way he carries
himself Cricket is his favorite game,
which he practices on the ground at
Staten Island, and for three weeks each
autumn he goes south for the shooting.
Lowell III. jerome comes next, and he
is u true soldier. He is the son Of Law
renee II. Jerome, whose name without
further comment will call up number
of lively memories. Lowell was grad
uated with honors at West Point, and in
actual fighting at the west has shown
himself to be brave officer and an ex-
pert Indian fighter. He held the rank
of lieutenant under Gen Miles when, re-
called two years ago by his mother, who
needed the attention and assistance of
her son in the management Of her es-
tate, he left the service. He is the only
white man who was ever exchanged for
an Indian, the exchange having been
made in the case of Chief Joseph, of
the Nez Perces. Lowell Jerome is
broad shouldered, inclined to be stout,
with hair slightly grizzled and an earn
est countenance, always offset by twink
ling eye. He greatly feels the inactivity
of his life, and no doubt he will return as
soon as possible, rejecting the feshpots
of New York for the hustle and hard
shin Of the calnp.

TRAIN ROBBERS.
The Trial of Those Charged with the Crime
Commenced at observation-disclosures

Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
TExARKANA, TEX. June 16.-The trial
Of the alleged train robbers was COM
menoed here to-day before Justice Can
non, and will be continued from day to
day until each person held as partici-
pants in the crime can have hearing.
The robbery, which was committed
only one week ago, is now the
most extensively published and no.
torious of any event of the
kind that has transpirsd here
for long while. The studied ingenuity
Of the perpetrators in laying their plans
for the destruction, if need be, of q
trainlOad of unsuspecting people, and
after the failure to derail and wreck the
train, the refined cruelty that suggested
placing their unarmed captives in a
group and firing on them is worthy of the
conception of devils, not men.
More than 100 newspapers in different
portions of the county wired here for
full particulars of the crime, and If the
outrage is viewed abroad with horror it
can be readily imagined that our people
are paralyZed when well-known citizens,
men who have been honored and trusted
by them, are charged with the dark
crime. More than 200 witnesses are
in attendance. Paris Howard, the
first party arrested, was ar
raigned to-day. There has been
strong sympathy for him from the first.
The only evidence adduced against him
is the testimony of one of the passengers,
who insists that he recognized the voice
of the accused among the masked rob-
bers. Conductor Sherer and Engineer
Predehurer were examined at length and
gave au account of the robbery, which
has already been published. The de-
tails show it to be cruel attempt to
take human life for gain, fatal
to one person only, when
100 or more narrowly escaped
Howard 3 Innocence was not established
as expected. He was bound over in the
sum of $3.50, which he readily gave. To- |
morrow the trial will be resumed, when |
the cases of Detective Williams, expo |
liceman Daniel and Jim Ratelif will be |
called in the order named. Interesting |
Developments are looked for, and great |
excitement prevails.

A contemporary tell us that electricity
is now used to reduce the dangers of
professional target shooting. In such
sport the man who remains out in the
field, and with a brush daubed with
white paint indicates how far each
shooter has missed the bull 's-eye, &C.
cupies post of danger. He has often
been bored through the body with a
shot as accurate as a cowboys by some
excited amateur who couldn't ordinarily
come within rod of the target. The
electric target dispenses with his SER
vices. 1t is go arranged with batteries
and electric wires that the position of
each bullet as it strikes the target is
registered on similar board at the
firing end of the range. Electricity is
invading every line of human activity.
We shall some time have an electrical
baseball umpire that can't make mis-
take and Will strike dead with light
ming the ''jawing" player and the loud
mouthed man who abuses him from the
benches.

DALLAS.
Criminal Assault Cnse-MayOr Connor Retur ms

Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX. June l6.-Early Sun
day morning some miscreants whose
names are yet unknown, attempted an
outrage which ought 70 place them be-
hind prison bars for a term of years.
The facts as obtained by q reporter to-
day are as follows. John johnson is a
hard working mechanic who, with his
family, occupies a tent near the Houston
and Texas Central freight depot. He
and his family retired to rest Saturday
night. Between 8 and O'Clock John
son was awakened by his wife's and his
little girls screams and found a man
was in bed with his wife and attempting
to choke her. The story of the affair as
told by Mr.. johnson is as follows:
al was awakened by the screams of
my wife and child and discovered that
there was some one in the tent The
fellow was in bed with my wife, choking
her. We had left the lamp burning.
This he had turned down very low and
had also removed the mosquito netting
from over the lounge. l do not think
he knew 1 was there, for he paid no
attention to Della, who was sitting in
bed screaming. In reaching for my gun
1 made some noise. when the fellow left
his hellish work and sprang over the
stove aud fell on the outside of the tent.
1 was tangled up in the mosquito netting,
and had to put some shells in the gun;
when I reached the entrance, the fellow
was right in front of me, having circled
the tent. threw my gun down on him,
but it caught in one of the guy ropes.
1t was very dark and could not see, so
l stepped back and as the fellow turned
and ran in the direction of the branch I
emptied both barrels. l think he was
wounded, for heard him grunt as he
fioundered in the water and fell. Think
ing had killed him, returned to the
tent and commenced dressing, at the
same time telling Mr.. Burns and some
neighbors who had come up that
1 had killed man down by
the branch. They went down, but |
could not find any trace of him. Mrs. |
Burns told me she heard two others CALL |
ing to him, saying: 'iJim come here. -
He evidently had help to get away. Ny
wife describes him Is a tall and heavy |
man, either 8 yellow negro or very dark |
white man. His hair was cut close to
his head. The sooundrel failed to &C
complish his purpose. My wife screamed |
and he put one hand over her mouth and
commenced choking her. Had it not
been for my daughters screams the vii
lian would undoubtedly have succeeded.
Mrs. Brown, who lives on the opposite
side OF the branch, said: 81 am salts
fed they we're white men, as they did
not talk like negroes. We were
awakened by the reports of the gun.
Two men were standing beyond my tent
and were joined by a man coming from
the direction of Mr.. Johnson 8 tent.
One of the men said: Come this way,

ABOUT THE CENSUS.
Each Citizen Must interest Himself in
the Matter.
Every Person Should Have His Name on the
Rolis-How About Your Servants? Call
on the Chamber of Commerce.

It will be necessary for the census enumerators
to close their rolls early tomorrow in order tc
avail themselves of the evening mails for Wash
ington, SO that only one day and part of another
ramains in which to gather up all the names in
Fort Worth.
VIII the affair be accomplished property
1t is doubtful. In some of the districts the
enumerators are good deal behind, perhaps
not from any laxness on the part of
the enumerator, but because of the character of
his district and the class of people with whom he
mas TO deal In the negro quarters it is di eicuit
10 get the names properly or even to count the
heads. In some of the houses in the lower part
OF the city the people sleep mostly in the day
time, and in some cases they are to be found
piled three deep on the floor slowed away
IN secluded corners where the enunl-
orator cannot get his eye on them. 1t is
IN such localities as these that the population is
densest, and where it is hardest to get the cor
rect figures.
Since the chamber Of commerce stepped in to
arouse the people and the enumerators from the
iethargy which had overtaken them there has
been great deal accomplished. The census
takers have bestirred themselves and have Sc
cured better results, but those who have
watched the direction of events say
that the enumerators have in some cases adopted
too narrow construction of the laws bearing
on the census. For instance, they object to
taking any person who did not reside in this
city on the LIST of June, and have not continued
to reside here since that time; forgetting that
such persons are not qualified to be enumerated
anywhere but in Fort Worth, and if they are not
enumerated in Fort Worth the prime object
of the census, the figures on the population of
the whole country, is defeated. 1t is under
stood Supervisor Neyins has been asked to in
struct these enumerators more literally.
A great many houses have not been visited
yet. great many boarding houses have been
visited and data secured from the landlord or
lady regarding all the inmates; a great many
heads of households in giving the
required information have neglected
to mention their servants, male and female,
black and white.
If your house has not been visited by the emu
mera tor, notify The chamber OF commerce.
II you are a boarder and have relied upon your
landlady to give in your name, do not be salts
fed, but call around and ascertain for sure that
you are included.
If you are 3 householder call to mind whether
the enumeration got the names of your hired
help.
All these things count up on the rolls. A gen.
tleman said last night that he would warrant |
that 800 hou Sc servants had been omitted by |
reason of neglect or forgetfulness on the part OF
the head OF the house Instances of failure to |
get houses with no inconsiderable population |
are numerous. They should be reported before |
it is too late.

DIXON ON THE PRESS.

Rev. Thomas Dixon. Jr., pastor of
Trinity Third street Baptist church :,
New York, has some good words TO say
for the daily press:
The modern editor, Mr.. Dixon said, had one
hand on the telegraph and the other on the
throttle valve viii CHI sent his words all over the
civilized world. He was the representative of
the highest single power of modern civilization.
The newspaper could not be expected to be all
good, for it was the daily record of the doings
of the world, and the world was never known to
go strSight for twenty-four hours. The bad
must be taken with the good, and all the editor
ought to be required to do was to give the evil
as evil ana the good as good, and not to print
evil to suggest evil or to lead to evil.
The modern preacher received severe
scoring. The editor had, Mr.. Dixon said,
taken his place as guide for the people. Who
exposed corruption in high places? Not the
preacher. He was somewhere writing an essay
on the number of feathers in the angel Gabriers
wings. 1t was the newspaper. The newspaper
alone was free and fearless. The preacher was
afraid he might hit somebody. he yielded to
gospel and if he struck out at all did it indi-
rectly so that his hearers could apply the lesson
to somebody else and 20 away in comfort. As
long as he preached, Mr.. Dixon declared, he
should preach a Gospel that should go to the
hearts and lives of his hearers. This statement
was greeted with hearty round of applause.
These kind words come with most ex-
cellent grace from Mr.. Dixon, as he is
the clergyman who so recently had an
encounter with the goody good editor of
the New York Mail and Express.

DUBLIN, TEX, June 16.-Real estate
is all the time on the move with us here,
and it is a good time to invest in dirt

acre of land for S225 and laid it off into

sold, clearing several hundred dollars 10
the transaction. Land was bougbe Sat-
urday for the location of the waterworks

visit last week in the interest of the Rio

three months ago over the Central road

changes that they decided TO take some
new views, as the new Illustrations would
better serve their purpose.

about the inadeqcacy of her census. She
thinks the enumeration should foot up
$50, 900, and is now Mortified to find
as the newspapers have somehow done
that it won t much exceed 100, 900. Sew
eral of her enumerators have admitted
that it was impossible for them to do
their work in satisfactory manner,
owing to the multiplicity of questions to
be asked. 1t now appears that Kansas
City $ pride il about to meet with a hor-
rible dull third.

ARE TEXAS ROADS PROFITABLE?
The submission of the railroad COM
mission amendment has provoked some
discussion of the profit and loss of rail-
cussion seems to have been overlooked :,
and, whether 1t be pertinent or not, THE
GAZETTE calls attention to it as fact.
Mr.. Jay Gould is not only the sharpest
railroad owner in the United States, but
h is one of the very smartest men in the
Union. Jay Gould is a great man, and
his greatness has been made manifest
more through his marvellous ability in
making money than in any other way
and in saying this THE GAZETTE intends
no disparagement OF the wonderful man.
Now, as the most famous money maker
of the country, would Jay Gould desire
to own Texas railroads If he considered
them Improbable investments? He has
acquired ROAD after road running into
Texas until he is actually and virtually
the owner of every road running into the
state except the Fort Worth and Denver,
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas and the
Sunset. Jay Gould knows good thing
in railroads when he sees it, and Jay
Gould never permits an opportunity to
slip to gather in Texas railroad property.
Therefore THE GAZETTE concludes that
Texas rsilroading is profitable.

II his speech at Cameron last Satur-

defamation of an honorable citizen of
Texas, coming from source unworthy

was elected governor and became con-
WINGED it was on account of such
SANDER he would refuse to take the oath

might withdraw with the declaration

people of Texas and their answer to an
attempt to interfere with their political
affairs by a foreign corporation.
