ton the right of the governor to suspend
the treasurer, but Attorney General Wood
says Governor Francis has not exceeded
his authority and that upon receiving
information that there is a deficit he will
commence quo warranto proceedings in
the supreme court to the end that writ of
custer may be issued.
1t is now developed that Gov. Francis
while in New York received telegram from
his private secretary, M. A. Tanning, with
reference to the trouble in the treasurer's
office and at once hurried home and TO JEFF
ferson City, taking charge of the treasur-
er's office at once. Then the bondsmen
met and decided that the deficit must be
met and the matter hushed up, but to this
proposition the governor demurred on the
ground that such action would be unlaw-
full and he could not afford to compromise
himself in that way, hence the inevitable
exposure.

A DARK MYSTERY.
No Clue to the Identity of the Stranger
Found Murdered Near Elgin.

No Clue to the Identity of the Stranger
Found Murdered Near Elgin.
ELGIN, Tex, March 6.-The man found
dead near here yesterday was buried today
unidentified. A coroner's inquest elected
no evidence as to the cause of death. The
verdict rendered was that he died from I'M
known causes. The testimony of several
was that there were signs where he had
been carried about fifty yards from the pub
lie road, then dragged to the briars where
he was found, his neck being broken and
unmistakable signs in his purse lead
strongly to the conclusion that he was
murdered for his morey and perhaps other
valuables as he was seen with hand bag
walking out Of town and the hand bag is
missing.
clothes, which, with rather old felt hat
good boots and under clothes, light hair
gray eyes, gray chin whiskers and mus
tache, an old fashion tin spectacle case and
pocket knife, constituted his make up. He
had evidently been drinking heavily, as
his body, up to the hour of burial, was
perfectly timber, and an old sore near the
right ear and large mole in the center of
his back were all the marks visible. Who
and what he was will probably remain
mystery as well as the cause ofhis death.
Elein is on the eve of healthy little
boom. Our $4,000 opera house with
$4,000, and several other large business
houses are preparing to go up. followed by
many nice residences residences ranging
above the $1,000 mark. These will show
up well for the next four months.

CLEVELAND, o., March Sat a meeting
of the National league this morning it is
understood the session was devoted to dis
cussion concerning a reduction of the num-
Der of clubs in the league to eight, but no
definite result was reached. President A.
G. Spalding was seen during recess and

troit to the league and as to the ten club
schedule. He said the policy of the league
was not to increase, but to decrease the
number of clubs and there was but little
possibility of the admission of Detroit. Re-
garding the schedule Mr.. Spalding re-
marked that the matter was still in the
hands of the committee and none but mem.
bers of the committee knew what had been
decided upon. 1t was not proposed to
give information on the subject until the
committee was ready to report and the
schedule would be the last business con-
sidered at the meeting.
