ing the family of Mr.. Robt. Martin the
past month, expecting to return 10

were given by Mr.. Milo Martin COM
plimentary dance on the evening OF
the Srd inst.
This community has long since, and
Justly TOO, earned reputation for the
dclightfulness of its dances and social
gatherings. The occasion just eele-
brated was in no sense an exception to
the rule of the past, but on the con-
trary beautiful confirmation. Sell
dom, if ever before, has the writer had
the pleasure of witnessing a dance that
seemed to be so universally enjoy ed as
this one, " hich, in point Of pleasure
aud beauty rivalled, if it did not ex-
ceed its predecessor of hut a few eve
nings ago.
Although the unclcmency of the
weather in the early evening kept q
goodly number ct home, who had ex-
pected to attend, yet there assembled
sufficient number to make the oc-
casion one lengsto be remembered by
those in attendance. The early hours
of morning found - dance still in
progress, and it was the approaching
dawn that reminded the merry dancers
thai the evening had passed and they
-pust once more betake themselves
homewara-so pleasantly and quickly
had the hours fewn BY. -

DEATH-BED CONFESSION.
The Mystery OF an Assassination Of Twenty
Four Years Standing Cleared Up-His-
tory OF the Crime.

/ NORRIsTOwN, Pa, March 6.-After
! ing the assassination of DR.. Joseph II.
| lowering of Lower Merton has at last
/ been solved. The murder was one of
the most noted In its day, by reason Of
The veil has at last been lifted by q
death-bed confession of John G Heuder-
son, who died in that place Tuesday
evening within a short distance of the
scene of the tragedy. On February
10, 1866, DR.. lowering. who had been
making a professional call, was in the
act of putting away his team for the
night, and while coming out OF the
stable the report Of gun was heard
from behind d stone wall within ten feet
OF the door in which the doctor stood
The Doctors residence was close to
Henderson 5 store, between the villages
of Rosemont and whitehall. The un-
usual report of gun within the yard of
the dwelling aroused the family, aud the
lifeless body OF the doctor was found two
minutes after the shooting. The alarm
and excitement drew a large crowd that
evening, aud every householder joined in
securing the nnighbOrhoOd for the
assassin, Henderson assisting his neigh
bOrs. An inquest was held aud after
searching investigation nothing could
be ascerIained to permit of the smallest
suspicion falling upon any one. The eX-
element Occasioned by the shooting WAS
slow TO die out. Leading citizens of the
locality. including Henderson. issued
circulars Offering a reward of $1,000 for
the apprehension of the murderer. With
the lapse of time the murder sank from
public attention, but gOssIps reCOunted
many interesting incidents in regard TO
the relationship which had existed be-
tween Henderson and lowering. Hen
derson was the proprietor of the village
store, and was of good repute. When
the war broke out DR.. lowering was
drafted aud Henderson went to the army
as his substitute. Among other consid-
eratiOns for this service the doctor
was to have charge Of Henderson's
business and his family. 1t was
said al the time that Henderson became
jealous OF the Doctors attention to his
family, but he afterwards showed no ev-
idpnce of such feelings. The crime was
not attributed TO him. Henderson re-
suned his business, and FIVE years sub
seQuent Illness compelled him to retire.
He moved to Philadelphia, but returned
to his former home, and OnCe again be-
came leading citizen of Lower MerIon.
Fearing that this illness was to be his
last, ne called in his family to his bed
side Tuesday afternoon, and in the pres
ence of the family physician confessed to
killing DR.. lowering, in cold blood. He
described the tragedy minute
ly, and also confessed to send
ing DR.. LeYeriug on decoy
call previous to the shooting. Hender-
son expired little before midnight. He
gave no reason for his bloody deed,
and the con fesSion has caused as much
of an excitement as did the crime itself.

Special to the Gazette.
ELGIN, TEX, March 6.-The man
found dead near here yesterday was
buried to-day unidentified. The cor
oner's inquest ELECTED no evidence as to
the cause of death. The verdict rem
dered was that he died from unknown
causes. The testimony OF several was
that there were signs where he had been
carried about fifty yards from the public
road, then dragged to the briars
where found, his neck being
broken, and unmstakable signs in
his purse lead strongly to the conclusion
that be was murdered for his his money,
and perhaps other valuables, as he was
seen with handbag, walking ont of
town, which is missing. He wore a
dark suit of brown checked clothes,
rather old felt hat, good boots and under
clothes, light hair, gray eyes, gray chin
whiskers and mustache, an Old fash
Toned tin spectacle case and pocket
knife was his makeup. He had evil
IDENTITY been drinking hard, as
his body, up to the hour
of burial was perfectly timber. And an
old sore near the right ear aud large
mole in the center of his back were all
the marks visible. Who and what he
was will probably remain q mystery, as
well as the cause of his death.
EIgin Is on the eve of a healthy little
boom. Our $4,000 opera house, with
$50 600 bank and several ether large
business houses preparing to go up, fol-
lowed by many nice residences ranging
above the thousand dollar mark, will
show up well for the next four mouths.

The State Fair.

Mr.. J. d. Armstrong, president of the
Texas State fair and Dallas exposition
association says: Arrangements have
been completed for the most attractive
Indian exhibition ever had upon the fair
grounds. We have had promises of those
exhibits for several years, but we have
never been able to secure them until
now. The exhibition will embrace
not only Indians mounted in all
their weird and gorgeous regaIia
but the most interesting industrial
and other features OF prehistoric ages
that, while Offering a treat for the anti
quarian, cannot fail Of proving interest
ing to all. In addition would say that
we have now letters from all the best
musical organizations in the country Of
fering to come here, thus showing the
wide extent to which this institution has
become known and the thorough appre-
citation OF the prices we have paid for
music. -

the killing OF John George Egll has made
a full confession in writing, and 1t is said
that the document is now in the hands of
the prosecuting attorney. Lang occupied
bed in the same room with Egli. John
Brunk stepped into the room of Egli
at late hour of the night and
assaulted the sick man with q club,
raining down upon him blow after blow, ,
and bespattering the walls, bedding and
floor with blood. Lang says: "EEli
died from the effects of these blows.
After Bruuk hit Egli he reached under
the bed where Egli's pants were and
took them out. / heard the money
rattle as Brunk took ii from Egli s
pocket. Brunk told me to say nothing
but that Egli fell out of bed. After the
killing Drunk went out of the window on
the back roof. Brunk still had the club
III his hand when he went out OF the back
window. Barry Miller, assistant prose-
cutting attorney, secured the confession.
Lang made 1t of his own free will. It
was signed by him in the presence OF two
reputable witnesses. The murder Of
John George Egli will be avenged.

The Eieht.Hour Ordinance.

A live topic of discussion to-day has
the city council last night. There is q
wide variance in opinion, both as to the
scope of the law and its effect. A promi-
nent member of the police force declare
that it would reduce his wages just one
third. 1--WE receive now SIS per month
for twelve hours service,'' said he,
Hbut under this ordinance we will re-
ceive only two-thirds OF that amount,
OF $50
An advocate OF the ordinance was
present and insisted that it would not
work that way at all, but that police
men and others would certainly receive a
full days pay for eight hours. ''lf this
ia true, - said the policeman, "and
they require twelve hours service, it oc-
ours to me that an emnloYe might sue
the city for the extra four hours per day
at the eud OF his term; but do not be-
lieye that we will ever receive twelve
hours paw for eight hours work. -
A prominent newspaper man under
stood the ordinance to apply TO all kinds
of labor in the city-public, private or
otherwise. Some others expressed the
same opinion regarding the scope of the
ordinance. OF course there is here q
strong opposition TO the measure, many
insisting that the present financial condi-
ton of the city renders il very uureeSoD-
able to expect the city to pay any more
for labor than Il private party. The city
council is being criticised as city councils
have been since time began 10 COM
menos, some of the critics going SO far
as TO express pity for what he character
to do their duty. -
OF course there is a strong army of
advocates OF the new ordinance. They
claim that eight hours are hours enough
for one days hard toll. The advocates
of the measure construe it to extend to
public work only. While this is true
they are deeply impressed with the sig
nificance the push given by the city
council last night to their eight-hour
crusade. sit will not be long before
the public mind will be in line with us
and with the city council on this sub
iect, - said one. 'Then eight hours
will be days work everywhere, -
The ordinance reads as follows:
s'Be il ordained by the city council of
the CITY of Dallas that from and after
the lst of May, 1890, eight hours a dav
shall constitute legal days work upon
all public work in the city of Dallas,
whether said work is being done by
day work or contract.
Alderman Kiylln generated the forces
favoring its passage and not a kick was
made.
The constitutionality of the ordinance
is now being discussed by the lawyers
and one OF them declares that the hitch
viii come on the portion relating to
"'work by contract, - which, he says,
the city has no right whatever TO regu-
late. Another says the penalty pre-
srribed cannot be imposed because no
way is provided for enforcing this pro-
vision. So it goes. OF course, ii is not
