MANGUM, GREER COUNTY, TEX. April
22.-The body of another murdered man
vas found yesterday by the searching
party. II was found in a branch two or
three miles from where the first one was
found. 1t is evident he was shot from
behind while out hunting. The party re-
port it as an appalling scene. He had
been partly covered with dirt, his face
and one shoulder protruding. The wolves
had eaten part of his face, and he was so
far decomposed that he could not be
identified
The party returned late last night, and
soon after their return Deputy Sheriff
Byers, Ranger Brackin, Justice Fletcher
and eX-COunty Judge Duke arrived from
Vernon with the prisoner. He was ar
rested at Vernon by rangers and gave
his name as J. T. Morris. From letters
found upon his person we take this TO be
his true name. He gives the names Of
the murdered men as John NJ. Moss and
W. L. Roberts. Letters, books, etc.,
found show that John NJ. Moss was from
Morgan, Tex, w. +. Roberts from
Falls county, and Morris claims to be
from Fannin county. He denies COM
hitting the murder, claiming that they
mad met man by the name of Simpson
on the day Of the murder and that Moss
and Roberts went back with him
while he returned to Quanah
Tor provisions, etc. An inquest
viii be held on the body Of the last man
found to-day, and the prisoner will be
gwen an examining trial to- morrow.
It Is one of the most horrible murders
known in the history of Texas, and the
people are greatly enraged. Only the
interest Of the county and a desire to
snow loyalty to the laws of Texas pre-
vents them from giving the murderer a
speedy trial before Judge Lynch and
senulng him 10 meet his victims. The
success IN ferreting out the affair and
capturing the fiend is greatly due to the

). r. Blocker, s. J: Blocker, E.
MenielIe and w. S. Carothers. The
note was payable to the order of W. B.
Blocker and by him endorsed to appel
liant. 1t appears that J. r. Blocker
was principal and all the
other makers. were suretieS-
j . r. and s. J Blocker were partners,
and as such owned a note against a. J.
c. P. x J q. NJ. Day, payable to the part
ners in their firm name. Subsequent to
the acquisition, by appellant, OF the
note in controversy, appellant loaned to
said firm $50, 900, for which they exc
cuted by their firm name their prOmis-
sorry note. At time of execution of
said note, said firm deposited
said Day note with the bank
as collateral security, and expressed in
their note the terms of their agreement.
The only expression in hearing here is as
follows: ''Any excess of cOIIaterals
upon this note shall be applicable to any
other note or claim held by said bank
against us, J. r. s. S. J. Blocker -
Before the maturity of the partner

Prince Albert Victor Not to Marry the Prfn-
cess Victoria of Teck. 3D..
All chance of marriage between the
Princess Victoria of Teck and Prince AL
bert Victor is now denied in court and
fashionable circles in London. There Is
no doubt that the young prince is deeply
in love with his beautiful cousin and has
been sent to India before the time IN
tended that travel and excitement might
cause HIM TO forget her.
Meanwhile every endeavor is being
made to find husband for the young
lady, and certain young nobleman has
been encouraged to pay her attention,
the queen having told the duchess of
Teck that if she wishes to be remembered
in her msjesty's will, or to obtain a
peerage for her eldest son, she must nip
her daughter 8 ambition in the bud. If
the queen can manage things to her lik-
ing the prince will marry his cousin, the
Princess Alice Of Hesse.
Though not absolutely beautiful the
princess is a charming girl, who likes
gSiety and is an excellent dancer, and
has been the constant playfellow and
chosen companion of the prince since
childhood. 1t is certain he will strongly
oppose the breaking of the match.

STRICT MARRIAGE LAW.
The New License Bill Passes the New
Jsraey House.

The New License Bill Passes the New
Jsrsey House.
TRENTON, N. j., May 14.-The Marriage
License bill passed the House and will
probably pass the Senate. Assembly
man Woolman, who is the author of the
bill, says the complaints have been SO
numerous against the present loose
system of solemnizing marriages in
Camden, both by his own constituents
and by indignant parents and guardians
from other States, that he felt it his
duty to make the loose statutes in re-
gard to marriage conform to the laws
in vogue elsewhere. Heretofore no
license was required, and the amount
of perjury, he says, committed by the
candidates for matrimony in Camden
was simply astounding.
Among other things, the bill provides
that from and after July 4. 1890, no
persons in Now Jersey shall be united
in marriage until a license shall have
bean obtained from tho clerk of the
Orphans Court in the county where the
marriage shall be performed. If any
preacher or magistrate marry any
couple, black or white, without . license
6rst having been obtained from the
county clerk, such officer forfeits 800,
to be recovered by action of debt.
