BoxHAM TEX. June 12.-The North Texas
medical association which has been in session
since Tuesday, adjourned to-day at noon. On
last night its president, DR.. V. A. Howeth, de-
livered an address to fair audience. The ad-
dress was an able one. He warned the people
against quacks and patent nostrums, which he
claimed, truthfully too, are doing more to de-
stroy the health of the people than most any
other cause. The patent nostrums containing
more opium and creating greater appetites for
strong drinks and narcotics than the public
dreams of. He also condemns the indiscriminate
advertising of the same, and warned ministers
OF the wrong they do in giving certificates to
every cure-ai peddler that comes along.
After the address the ladies of the Shake
speare club entertained the association at the
residence OF DR.. B. Saunders, serving ice cream,
sherbots, drinks etc. A very pleasant time
was had. This mornings session was opened
by prayer by Rev. T n. Williams. ]. T. Will

Sherman was selected as the place for the next
meeting of the associatio n. The June meeting
was set for the third Tuesday instead Of the
second.
DR.. A. Simms of Mckinney rendered his res
ignation, because he is about to remove out of
the district. The association would not accept,
thereby complimenting the doctor, who has
been a valuable member.
The section on obstetrics and gynaecol-
ogy was then taken up. DR.. j. D.
Burt, DR.. j. s. Saunders, DR.. Wilson,
and Dr.. R. r. Walker, all read papers and re- |
ports of cases, which were discussed at length.
DR.. J. s. Saunders paper was highly praised by
nearly every member. 1t was drawn from forty
years experience as a practitioner, and was
brimful of information to the younger doctors.
The association worked with will all the
time it was in the city. Everything was har-
moniouS. The doctors speak in high praise Of
Bonham and her citizens.

FRANTIC FLAMES.
Gas IgnItes Underground in Broadway, New
York City and all Efforts to EItin-
guish the Fire Falls.
Special to the Gazette.


New YoRK, June 12.-Thousands OF people
gathered at Broadway and Fulton streets to-day
to witness an unusual sight. From a large hole
in the pavement there leaped red and white
flames which at times formed a column fifteen
feet high 1t seemed as if volcano had bursted
out in the heart of the city. The trouble was
caused by the gas IN one of the large mains be
coming ignited. Workmen endeayored to sub

the fire department was invoked and flow of
water poured into the scathing crater. The
flames started at O'Clock this morning. Sixty
men were employed by the New York. steam
company repairing the pipes, and one OF the
workmen accidently stuck his pick in the gas
main. The gas took fire from a lantern and the
so startled they could hardly comprehend what
had happened. One poor fellow had his hands
and face so badly burned that he was removed
in an ambulance to the hospital. Several others
had their persons and clothing scorched, but not
seriously injured. The hole from which the
burning gas was escaping was in the middle of
Broadway. Traffic on that great thoroughfare
was impeded. The blockade of horse cars and
trucks was so seri GUS thai long lines of waiting
vehicles extended to the northward and south
ward. At IL clock the crowd was so great at
Broadway and Fulton street that extra police
were sent to keep The people at safe distance
from the fire. The strange sight of flames
leaping from the middle OF the street ter
rifed the horses, and the poor animals
stood and trembled. After it has been supposed
the fire subdued, il broke out afresh.
half-dozen explosions were heard and it was
discovered that the flames were extending under
the ground for q distance of 100 feet, both up
and down Broadway and to the eastward into
Fulton street. The superintendent of the work
men decided that additional excavations must
be made to get at the flames. In the meantime
the flow of gas increased and the flames grew
more furious. At clock the fire was burning
brightly, and thousands OF spectators were yet
gazing upon the scene. The flames were not ex-
tinguished at a late hour.

CHECK RAISERS CAPTURED.

A Brace of Confidence Men Who Got in Their
Work at Marshall, Dallas and Fort Worth.
Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX, June 12.-On January
% a brace of con. men appeared at Mar
shall, Tex, and put up at a lea ing
hotel. They registered as George B. Bry-
ant and T. Edwards, and were we'll
dressed fellows of insinating manners e.
On the 23d they walked out of town in
the wake of the Texas and Pacific pay
car and sprang their scheme upon a gang
of negro section hands who had just re-
ceived checksfor amounts ranging from
50 40 to S19. Bryant stated to the negroes
that himself and partner were walkiua %
Whftssbor6 ana had more silver than
they wanted to carry. Would they sell
the ohecks2 Certainly. The checks were
cashed at their face value and the worthy
pair retraced their steps to Marshall and
remained in that city on the night of the
23rd. On the oath they came to Dallas
and on the 25th they Dashed the checks at
different business houses in the city, Sc
curing in payment goods and money. In
due course of time the checks were re-
turned to the paymaster's department.,

raisers had been at work. Six of the
checks had been raised from small
amounts 70 $50 Cspt Tignor, the
Texas and Pacific detective, was
placed in charge of the work. He
traced the men to Fort Worth, where
they had raised considerable money by
the same game. There he lost track of
them. The captain noticed that the bird s;
had registered from Kansas City at every
hotel and concluded they would finally
wind up in the city at the mouth of the
Kaw. He notified Tom Speer, chief of
police of Kansas City, and requested him
to watch for the oheck-raisers and ar
rest them. Tignor builded wiser than he
knew. On Monday he received a tele-
gram from Speer stating that the men
were in custody. The captain answered
that he would send q man with requls--
ltion if the prisoners refused to come
without it. The chief of the Kansas City,

at official courtesy whatever, wired:
"Don It come. Have turned Bryan and
Edwards over to Kinney, who will take
them to Sherman for trial. They are in

Refugio and other coast counties, and
which has been increasing in viciousness for the

OFFICE OF GENERAL SUPr, 2. Nj. S.,

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 4 1890.
]. s. Weaver, Esq, Sup't R. M. s., Fort Worth,
Texas:
SIR-The bill which this Office with the in
dorsement of the honorable postmaster general,
has urged for the reclassii cation of the railway
mail service. has been favorably reported 20 the
house of representatives, every member but one
of the committee voting in its favor. Every eff
fort will now be used to accomplish its final
passage; my greatest fear being that, because of
personal disappointment, certain parties outside
will endanger it by inducing lukewarm members
to propose amendments which will only
accomplish delay, and delay carries with
it great risk of having its full passage
put back, so that in the hurry which
is always associated with the adjournment of
the session, the bill may not reach vote at all.
do not propose to go before the railway mail
service with an appeal for cooperation, but
do want railway postal clerks to understand that
it is the department that is champ ioning their
cause, and unless they take measures to pre-
vent further Interruptions by seeming friends
they ieopardize the brightest prospect there has
ever been of obtaining favorable recognition by
congress. Those who are advocating the Just
claims of the railway postal clerks ask no other
reward than the knowledge that they have been
instrumental in the accomplishment of an act Of
justice to those who are willing to rest their
claims to promotion upon the records they es-
tablish. J. LowRIE BELL,
