"Well, I'm in with you," returned
Drane. 'FTou know more about this
business than do. What shall we do?''
The tramp answered by deeds, not
words. He pried open the door of the
car and crawled in. Drano followed.
Tho car appeared to be freightcd with
pig-iron or some other heavy substance
of which very littlo made load, for
there was plenty OF room. Drane and
his companion found the most comfort

To the formers great relief the train
soon started and ran with no stop for
nearly an hour. Then there came halt.
Presently Drane heard man stop just
outside the door by which they had en-

tramp, 'wc'rc in for it now They'll
send us up. There's just one chance for
us. You stand on one side of the door
and I'll stand on the other. When they
climb in we'll make break"
That was exactly what they did; and
as Dranc happened to jump out directly
upon tho head of the brakeman on
guard, they escaped.
In the lea of fence, a few minutes
later, Drane was joined by his late ac-
quaintance, whom he had outrun with

AN IMPORTANT WITNESS.
One OF the london scrndul Witnesses In

and Tells Of His Persecution.

ST. PAUL, MINI, March g. The
Pioneer Press this morning prints the
following special from Seattle, Wash;
The most important witness in the cele-
bra:ed London scandal case, which ID
agitating the British parliament and has
indirectly caused the suspension of La
bouchere from the house of commons for
insinuating that Lord Salisbury's gov

name, that l ever received any assist

health in London, and was nearly blind.
Several leading London physicians will
testify to this, including DR.. Clark, who
treated me. The gentlemen who lived
at my house on Cleveland street were at
full liberty to do whatever they liked and
had their own latch keys. never in

this is very humiliating to my family,

am related to the late emperor OF France.

Hammond said he had other state
ments more startling in effect which he
will confess in n short time. 1t must De
remembered that when Hammond was
first confronted with the fact that his
Whereabouts had been discovered on De-
cember II, he broke down and muir

me like this!''
He also confessed that his surf dog,

some women. They say 1t Is feared the
great London scandals will be repeated
here and they are watching him closely.
The moment small boys are noticed to

One reason for Hammond's confession
yesterday is supposed TO be because the

he wants them reminded that he is liable

cases supporting the doctrine that rail-
way company may convey under author

terest in land which it has acquired by
purchase of right-Of-way, to be

purpose, but We find none supporting
the proposition that q railway company
can sell a part of its right of way TO an
other company, SO as to enable both
companies to build and operate two
roads on the same right of way. 1t must
be held that a grant of way to one does
not authorize 1t to operate Its road ana
CONVEY a portion of the unused way to
another company for the same purpose,
without consent of the owner
of adjacent land and compensa-

CLARENDON, Ten, Feb. 26.-The
ladies Of Clarendon have gone to work in
real earnest to do their part in making
Clarendon a city. Having organized
"the Ladies' Improvement society, -
they called to their aid few select gen.
tlemen CT the town and last night gave
the best entertainment ever given in
Northwest Texas. They had songs, in-
strumeutal music, recitations, etc. Mr..
Ralph Jefferson appeared IN costume as
the "origInal McGinty, with song and
dance. This performance was worthy OF
the character of q professional come
dian. The exercises Melted the ladies
$50. This will be expended TO beautify
Prospect park.
The knights OF Pythias will give
social and dance in their hail on next
Monday night.
A popular bachelor druggist of our
town, so TumoT says, is going to join
metrimony and business. A number OF his
friends have made him a wager OF three
lots that he can't marry in sixty days.
They are now beginning TO believe they
are the losers, aud are guessing who 1t
will be; but Henry holds fast to his own
secrets.
Mr.. I, w. Carhart is an active man in
the immigration business. He is now
medifatiUg on a scheme to induce more
Hsociety ladies'" TO come to Clarendon.
The only check TO Clarendon g build
ing houses Is the want OF mechanics.
Several houses are now waiting on car
peniers. The building committee of the
NJ. e. church have had the lumber on
the ground for over a week TO build a
couirnodious church, but can get no car
peutsrs.

THE DINING ROOM TABLE.

IL is a great saving of expense, both as
regards your linen press and your laundry
work, il you keep your dining room
table well polished, and use small center
cloths for breakfast and luncheon, re.
serving the heavy damask tablecloth for
dinner only Although nothing can be
more refined and attractive than per-
fectly appointed table, with the whitest
and finest of damask beautifully laun-
dered, "a cloth that has been used, and is
the least soiicd, is on the contrary really
rcpulsive. And yet with large family
and an ovcrtaXcd laundrcss. it is some
times impossible to have fresh change
for every meal. On that account, there.
fore, we advocate the small center cloth,
not rs substitute, he it understood, for
spotlcSs napcry, but i'll lieu of that which
is not altogether spotlcss. Moreover, it
Is a change, and the table can be made to
look very attractive with a pretty cloth.
These are made in various ways, from
the plain square of damask t" those with
beautifully made cut-work border or
German embroidery in silk on heavy
linen. But your own taste and the
means of gratifying it will he the best
guides in these matters. -Ne,o York
Tribune.
