CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 26.-Judge
Tuley this morning rendered his decision
in regard to the petition of the board of
trade, asking for mod ifcation of the in
junction restraining the board of trade
from disseminating its quotations to
bucketshop men. Judge Tuley decided
he would modify the injunction provid-
ing the board of trade would agree to go
permanently out of the business of fur
nishing quotations. The board of trade
men regard this as an important victory
for them. They will discontinue fur
nishiug quotations April l. Litigation
has been going on for several years, and
it all grows out of efforts on the part of
the board of trade to keep their quota
tions from the bucketshop. Under to-
days decision no telegraph company

change, and customers will hereafter be

ENNIS CATCHING FEVER.
The Central Repair Shops Probably
Coming from Corsicana to Ennis.
Fort Worth and Waco Men Buying Ennis
Property.

ENNIS, TEX. March 26.-The beauti-
full town of Ennis Is beginning to receive
the attention from investors that its adj
vantages warrant. The flourishlng towns
of the Panhandle are rejoicing in their
booms and farm and town properties
there bring high prices. But these
prices are largely propped up by future
prospects and by what is going to be
done. Ennis and the surrounding coun-
try don It need to talk about the future
nor rely on the prophecy of any smart
Aleck. The past record Of Ellis county
is good enough to bank on. Ellis is the
well-knowu banner farm county, pro-
ducing in 1889 more cotton than any
county in Texas. Splendid farms, well
improved and cultivated, in sight of En-
mis-, can be bought for SIS to $40 per
acre. Most of these farms last year
produced three-fourths of bale of cot
ton per acre. and that is worth over $50
in gold. Who can kick on such prices
for good land, that has soil rich enough
and deep enough to last lifetime?
Business of all kinds in Ennis is good.
Uuder such favorable conditions Ennis
property is remarkably low, and buyers
are taking advantage of this fact and
planting their money where they are
sure of harvest.
Ennis is on the main line of the Cen
trail railroad, and is practically the
junction of the Fort Worth and the
Kaufman branches. It has a remarka-
bly, healthy and advantageous location,
and an exceptionally fine water supply.
Recognizing all these advantages it is
no wonder the officials of the Texas
Central railroad want to move the
extensive repair shops from Corsicana to
Ennis. In spite of all efforts of our
Corsicana friends to enjoin the company
from moving the shops, the feeling has
grown to a certainty that the shops are
coming and all Corsicana combined
can t stop them.
Now, Fort Worth has been bonanza
to investors in dirt, and so has Waco.
When Fort W orth and Waco men VIII o
have made money in those towns drop
quietly in and buy property here shows
what they think Of Ennis. Mr.. Travis
Jones, of Waco, has an eye to business,
and is somewhat of railroad man him
self, and he has bought a large tract of
land Joining town. s. NJ. Smith, of
Fort Worth, knows the sdvant age of
nearly every town in the Panan die and
North Texas, and is supposed to know a
good thing when he sees it, has backed
his judgment on Ennis by buying large
tract of suburban property. McDufie
s. Bagley, the live land agents, showed
your correspondent around town, and
they limited that there is yet room for
few more such suckers as the Fort Worth
and Waco men to get in on the ground

scene ever witnessed in North Carolina
courtroom; the sentence was at once
passed condemning the priest to be
hanged on Friday, November 90, 1889.
The appeal for the new trial. which
opens tomorrow, was subsequently,
granted. A remarkable coincidence of
the trial was that every one of the twelve
jurors was a Baptist.
Since the condemned priest was re-
handed to jail. many evidences have
been received here of his bad record in
other parts of the country. It is learned
that he left his charge in Illinois in
ignominy and disgrace. having con-
trived to raise large sum of money for
the purpose Of building a new church,
and having then gone to st. Louis and
spent it among fast women. The police
of st. Louis gave him very
bad character. He became infatuated
with one of the demi monde, on
Spruce street, in the latter city, from
whom he secured sums of money, and
subsequently took from her quantity of
jeWely which he had previously given
to her. This led to a quarrel between
them, which resulted IN Boyle IS arrest
for disturbing the peace and an assault
with attempt to kill. He represented
himself as a commercial traveller. and
not one suspicion Of his being Catholic
priest ever dawned upon the women of
the house where for time he was the
most frequent visitor.
Not long since the mayor OF this city
received letter from a jeweler at Gil
rard, the Illinois town where Father
Boyle previously lived. The letter made
known the fact that a gold watch had
been sold to the priest in February, 1885,
and for which the latter individual was
still in debt. More recently it has been
learned that Boyle was sent by his
church to Australia, where he had an
escapade and was compelled to return to
this country.
1t is generally believed here that these
new developments concerning his past
unsavoTY career hav ng been made since
his first trial will serve TO strengthen the
charges made against him, and weaken
his chances for .acquittal at the new
trial. He has borne himself all along
with supreme confidence in an ultimate
escape from the clutches of the law, and
the pluck and nerve displayed by him at
the conclusion of the previous trial was
absolutely novel and fell like thunder
clap on those who heard it.
Great interest is manifested IN the ap-
preaching trial, and as yet there is
division of opinion as to his guilt or in
nocence. From letters received here it
is made plain that the case will be
watched by Catholics all over the coun-
try.

Among the well-known men about
town in Brooklyn just at present is
Frank Cooper. who at one time promised
to be BARLEY Campbell's right bower.
The sudden mental arrangement of Mr..
Campbell put an end to all plans how
ever. Mr.. Cooper was formerly CHI
cago newspaper reporter, and it was
while acting III that capacity that he had
q very singular adventure, through
which he subsequently met Campbell.
AT the time Mr.. Cooper was very young
and very ambitious to shine in his pro-
fession, and when Mary Anderson, who
was then the craze of the theatrical
world, reached town, he thought he saw
his chance TO ascend the first few rungs Of
the ladder of fame. He would interview
the noted actress.
This decision was reached in an
instant, but many days passed before
the project was put into execution.
Miss Anderson IS stepfather, DR.. Hamil-
ton Or fin, was keeping his
precious charge far from the
interviewer in those days. Mr..
Cooper finally decided to apply for
the honorable position of bell boy in the
hotel in which the Anderson party
stopped. His youthful appearance
helped him and he soon donned the ap-

A Bad Break.

GREENvnLE, MISS, March 26.-The
levee at Skipwith landing. about fifty
miles south of Greenville on the east side
of the river, broke this morning at 80
O'Clock. The break is about 200 feet,
and is widening rapidly. This will food
a large portion of Issaquena and Sharkey
counties. The leVee is considered one of
the best in the state, and the waters will
inundate a section of country extending
about thirty-five miles south with an av-
erage width of fifteen miles, and is one
of the most fertile in the state of Missis-
sippi.

Cold Climate Men Accumulate Property.
To the Gazette.
Yesterday "wednesday Dallas man
came near getting in trouble at the
Pickwick table, by saying TO friend in
conversation, that Northern men came
to Texas and accumulated fortunes;
while Southern men residing here, are
letting all the opportunities slip by.
This seemed to offend a gentleman who
set opposite at the table, and no one can
tell what would have happened, had
not our Dallas man explained that he
was Southern man, that his feet had
never entered Northern state; but that
the fact existed all the same that men
from cold climates, like the animals of
cold climates, seemed instinctiVely to
prepare for the future, and accumulate
animals for the winter and men for old
age. That in warm climates both men
and AMI mails were easily satisfied; ami
mails making no provision for winter and
men, as general rule, preferring SIM
pie competency rather than struggle for
a great fortune.
Mr.. Editor, whether there is
any truth in this philosophy
or not, we have some remark
able cases that we can call to mind
against it. The case of Mr.. A. T.
Boyer of Vernon is one of them. Mr..
Bower in 1888, in Wilbarger county. with
the help of siXteen-year-o boy raised
9,945 bushels Of wheat, oats, corn and
potatoes. This is the largest crop of
which there is any record ever raised by
two men on the surface of the globe, yet
Mr.. Boyer is a Southern born mana
native of Georgia. Mr.. Editor, if there
is a Northern man who can beat our
Bayer, show HIM up.
