STATE OF TEXAS.
DEPARTURE OF THE CENTRAL
DEEP WATER COMMISSION
FROM GALVESTON.
MARRIAGES IN THE TERRITORY
Fort Worth Jubilant Over the Decision Of
the Big Land Suit in the
Supreme Court.

GALVESTON, Tex, January GA delega-
ton of Houston's representative citizens
arrived early this morning and took
charge of the central deep water COM
mission and after exchanging the u.s.
ual courtesies conducted the mem
bers of the commission laboard the
steamer Louisa, and at 8 "a. m. embarked
via the ship channel and Buffalo bayou.
The steamer was decked- out with flags
and had full commissary of things that
tickle and appease the appetite of the inner
man. After enjoying the bounteous hos
pitalities of Houston the central commits
sion will disorganize, Several 1imembers 60
ing directly home while number ofthem
will return here and remain several days.
Messrs. Gresham and Legate will proceed to
Washington in few days and devote
their entire attention to the accomplish
ment of the object for which they were
delegated.
1t is generally admitted that the intro.
duction of the Stewart bill for the improve
ment of Sabine Pass, Galveston and Aran-
sas Pass in conformity with the report of
the board of engineers will have tendency
to seriously complicate matters and make
it all the more difficult for Galveston to
secure the concentration he desires. Gal
weston disdains, as she has repeatedly done
before, any intention to hinder or obstruct
any appropriations that may be recom-
mended for other Texas harbors
other than the first-class
harbor specifically designated by the COM
mission OF engineers in their report to con-
gress, and claims that the present claim of
the central commission is in accordance
with the declared purpose of the different
conventions held in this interest, and the
action of the permanent deep water COM
mittee at Washington, February 4, 1889,
which resulted in placing the matter before
congress and the appointment by that body
of commission of engineers to decide upon
the most available point where the concen-
tration should be made.

what the, consequences were, On one
occasion she attempted to pull the Gore
woman from the embrace of her hus-
band, when she turned upon her and as
saulted her. She had the Gore woman ar
rested for this offense, but her husband
persuaded her to go to Independence on
the day of the trial, and the suit was dis
missed for want of prosecution.
She charges her husband with being
so infatuated with Mrs. Gore that he
seems to be under spell.
Mrs. Gore, Mrs. Purvis alleges,
has exercised so great a power over
her husband that during the past six years
he has given her the greater part of the
money he has made. From the money
that was taken from her by the selling of
the homestead and what has been given to
her during the past six years Mrs. Gore has
purchased lots in various parts of the city
valued at from $4,000 to $4,000 each.
The plaintiff asks the court to declare
the $4,000 damage a lien on all the prop
erty purchased by Mrs. Gore with her hus-
bands money. Besides the property men,
toned Mrs Purvis alleges that Mrs. Gore,
through her husband, has lived in a state of
oriental luxury, with diamonds, car
riages, servants and every other comfort at
her command while she (Mrs. Purvis) Is
working hard to maintain herself and
child. Mrs. Purvis is now living with Pur-
Wis mother, who takes sides with her
daughter-ln-law.

An Illinois Tragedy.

JOLIET Ill, January IA tragedy which
promises TO develop some sensational fea-
lures occurred yesterday at the farm Of
John Dali, German living near the vii
liage of Mokena, in this county. Dali was
a single man living with his mother, Mrs.
Amelia Dali, 70 years Of age, and con-
nected with the household were hired
man named Schuffier and girl named
Nina Schenck. On New Years day the
girl prepared dinner and when coffee was
served and tasted each member of the
family noticed that 1t had strong, bitter
taste. The stuff was thrown away and q
new lot made. This was also bad. but not
enough so to prevent the family from par
taking freely of 1t.
Soon after dinner they all became alarm
ingly sick and had to go TO bed. except the
hired man and girl, who drank quantity
of fresh milk. This caused vomiting and
saved their lives. Mrs. Dali died after a
few hours Of excruciating pain, and last
evening John Dali breathed his last. The
physician called could not determine the
character of the poison. A white powder
was noticed In the first pot Of coffee. John
Schafer, forfl4ar employe of Dali, and a
r1val suitor for TIE hand of the servant
maid, was at once suspected as the guilty
person. When the sheriff arrested him al
Mokena this morning he tried TO commit
suicide with razor.

What One of the Brazilian Republican
Leaders Has to Say.
New YORK, January 4.-0n the steamer
Alliance which arrived today from Brazil
was Walter Wright, one of the Brazilian
Republican leaders. Mr.. Wright is man
35 years of age, and was born in England.
but has lived most all his life in Santos.
He said everything is going on as usual
in Brazil. All the natives have sworn ale
glance to the Republican government
He had no doubt but that exchange would
resume its old rate shortly. Mr.. Wright
said he had merely come to New York on a
pleasure trip, to rest after the excitement
attendant on the revolution. After tour
of the country he will return to Brazil.
~ never would have left. " he said, had
not all been peaceful and in asettled condl-
ton"
The Alliance left Brazil on the last night
Of December. Capt. Beers said the people
at both places seemed quite happy, under
the new government. He dined with
Senior Barbosa, minister of finance under
tbe new government, and the latter ex-
nressed himself as delighted with the con-
9ition of every class of society. An out
break now. he thought, was simply out OF
the question.

Death Of Mrs. ssuthworth.

NEW YORK. January Mrs. Southworth
died in her cell at the tombs at 6:15
this morning. DR.. Chetwood, who granted
a d,ath certificate, gives as a cause Of her
death primarily heart failure and general
debility. The death of Mrs. Southworth is
described as having been peaceful. There
was at the deathbed Mrs. Southworth' s
mother and her brothers George and VIM.
B. Martin. The grief of the dead woman s
mother was painful to witness. The body
of Mrs. Southworth had wasted to a frame.
Coroner Schultz granted an order permit
ting the removal of the body to Brooklyn,
where it will remain at the residence of her
brother until Thursday, then it will be
removed TO Greenwood cemetery and
placed in the receiving vault temporarily.
As soon as Mrs. Martin is prepared to re-
turn to her Southern home she will ar
range for the removal of the body to Louis
VILE for final interment in the family lot
there.

COLD WEATHER AT ST. LOUIS.
Telegraph, Telephone and Light Wires Hum
with Ice-Electric Accidents.

IeleRrHp0, IelepHOu6 Wircb
with Ice-Electric Accidents.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, January THE sudden
advent of rain, snow and sleet has trans
formed the business section of st. Louis
into veritable grotto of scintillating icicles
swinging to and fro on the telegraph, tele-
phone and electric light wires emitting
flashes of varied colored light at frequent
intervals, all going to make up wonder
fully beautiful scene, especially in the sec
ton where the wires hide the sun, which,
should it see fit to shine out and light up,
nothing on earth would equal for brilliance
and beauty.
But the wary citizen has glanced as
kance as he passes beneath the ice covered
net work of wires, and the swapping of an
icicle is the signal for a mad, blind rush
such as the cry of fire in a crowded theatre
would produce. The deadly electric light
wires were the cause of such general exhi-
bitions of alarm, that the danger of break
ing limbs on sleety walks was not half so
near the public mind as the fear of fdeath
from electric shocks.
Tie accidents from electric wires have
been so numerous that hardly one man in
q thousand will go near fallen wire. Even
the dogs run huwling from the scene. Two
street car horses were killed and their
heads nearly burned Off at Fourth and
Chestnut streets by an electric wire. This
morning the wire was stretched across the
necks Of both horses and as they dropped
to the street dead cloud of smoke came
up from their bodies. The wire burned
through the flesh like a sharp knife
and cut the jugular vein as a
stream of blood spurted from
the first horse striking the pavement. The
wire kept on burning until cut by fremen,
who quickly arrived on the scene. There
were fifteen passengers on the car and they
scrambled out in every direction, some try
ing to get out of the windows. There are
delays on all the street car lines. while the
fire alarm and police telegraph system are
out of order. no less than 80 boxes being
useless during the night. Fortunately nc
fires occurred during the night or the result
would undoubtedly have been doubly dis
astrous.

Threatened Water Famine.

KANSAS CITY, January IA water fam
inc threatens this city by the sudden gorg-
ing of the ice in the Missouri river above
st. Joseph. The stage of water here has
been lowered by about two feet below the
record. This caused the main suction pipe
at the water works to become exposed.
Consequently no water can be pumped.
The superintendent became alarmed and
notified consumers, asking that extreme
caution be exercised in the use of water.
The water works people at st. Joseph have
been notified of the condition here, and if
all other means to clear the river of the
gorge fails dynamite will be resorted to.

A ROMANTIC STORY.
A Kansas City Woman Sues for $4,000 for
Alienation Of Her Husband.

Alienation Of Her Husband.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, January Ut is no
uncommon thing for man to bring suit
for damages for the alienation of his wife's
affections, but it is novel thing for one
woman to bring suit against another wom-
an for damages for the alienation of her
husbands affection. Heretofore there have
been no such cases recorded here. Only
two cases of this kind are reported in the
English court records. Mrs. Ingua Purvis
has set the precedent in Kansas City by
bringing suit for SIS 900 today in the circuit
court against Mrs. Mary E. Gore for the
alienation of the affection of her husband,
Chas Purvis. Purvis is proprietor of Pur-
Wis hotel on Fifteenth street, and is q man
of considerable means and well known in
this city. Mrs. Mary E. Gore is a grass
widow living at 1927 MCGEE street.
In matter-of-fact way Mrs. Purvis al
leges in her petition that on November l,
1877, she was married to Charles Purvis and
lived with him happily until November,
1888. when handsome Mrs. Gore appeared
on the scene, and from that time, Mrs. Pur-
Wis says, her domestic happiness has been
minus quantity. A few months prior to
the last mentioned date John Gore, a
wealthy 81 near Lees Sum-
NIT, came 10 this city on a visit
with his young wife. Purvis became
acquainted with her, and at once
mutual affection sprang up between them
Mrs. Gore refused to have anything to do
with her husband, and after endeavoring
in vain to persuade her to return to him
he secured divorce. Purvis was made
the correspondent, in the suit. All this
time Purvis, so the petition alleges, was
saying nothing of his amours with the
Gore woman. He induced his wife to sign
quit claim 10 their homestead, re-
| aliZing $4,000 from the sale. This
sum, his wife charges, he gave to the
Gore woman, part of which she used TO
purchase lot at 2,227 MCGEE street and
erect a substantial dwelling upon it. in
which Mrs. Gore now lives. Mrs. Purvig
| alleges further that for six long years she
has lived separate and apart from her hus-
band, and all this time he has been paying
attention to Mrs. Gore and she to him. On
many occasions she caught herhusband and
the Gore woman in compromising situations
she says, and when she would plead with
the woman with tears in her eyes to relin-
1uish her husband she would turn on her
like beast and declare that she loved Pur-
is better than his wife did or could, and
| that she was going to have bin, no matter

HEAVY RAINS IN THE SOUTHWEST.
Railway Travel Seriously Interrupted
Rivers Rising-Destruction of Property.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, January 4.-The heavy
rains which have recently fallen in South
west Missouri and Northwest Arkansas put
all the rivers of that region out of their
banks, and large sections of country have
been overfowed. The railroads have SUI
fered badly from washouts and bridges are
being carried away and traffic has been sus-
pended for two days. Five south bound
trains are stalled at Piedmont, Mo-, on the
Iron Mountain road, one at Mill Spring,
containing $50 passengers, and four
side-tracked between Poplar Bluff,
Mo-. and Knable, Ark. There are also
both passenger and freight trains strung
along at other parts of the road and pas
sengers have had to depend upon country
stores and roadside boarding houses for
food. No loss of life has been reported but
there has been great destruction of prop
erty, not only in Missouri and Arkansas
but in Texas and Louisiana, where the
rains have been very heavy. 1t is expected
trains will move on the Iron Mountain and
Cotton Belt roads today or tomorrow.

The Free Zone.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, January 7.-Several cop
les of a petition signed by a large number
of the citizens of Ell Paso, Tex, were re-
ceived today by Secretary Morgan, of the
Merchants exchange. The petition is ad-
dressed to congress and asks that body to
provide by treaty for the abolition of the
free zone. 1t is alleged that this zone has
become haunt for smugglers, and that by
admitting foreign goods into it free of duty
American merchants are placed at a great
disadvantage. The st. Louis Merchants
exchange is requested TO cooperate with
the citizens of Ell Paso in securing the abo-
lition of the free zone.

His Recent Decision Causes Many Couples to

PARIS, Tex, January GA remarriage
was brought about by Judge Boarman's
recent decision today. A few months ago
j. L. Bryan and Miss Emma Cooper, who
resided in the northern portion of tn
county, crossed Red river. and had service
performed that they thought made them
man and wife,
After reading the opinion of Judge Boar
man, and noting that others were marry
ing again they decided to do likewise. 1t
is believed here that this is the wisest
course to pursne by all parties who eloped
to the territory and married.
The Indian law requires members of the
tribe to procure marriage license, and par
ties who run away from Texas 60 there
and marry without license of any kind.
These intermarriages will prevent the possi-
bility of any contest arising over the legiti-
macy of children born of such marriage.
