The jury in the McGregor murder
trial at Warrenton, Ca, was "hung" by
Juror Baker for four days, says an Allan
ta correspondent Of the New York World.
How final decision was reached leaked
out yesterday. Early Thursday morning
detected set of men gathered in the jury
room, Baker still holding out firm against
acquittal.
"Boys, will we ever get out Of here?
asked one, in a dispairing tone Of voice.
81 Dunno" replied another. "Tve ar
gued with Baker till I'm sick, and I've
pleaded with him till I'm plum tired
out" put in another.
"I've cussed him till my tongue is
sore," said third.
BOYS" said Mr.. Heath, there's one
thing we haven't tried. We have never
prayed for Baker"
"That will do no good. Prayer can
never teach the soul of man who can
take cussin' like he does. Prayers will
run off him like water off ducks back"
was reply.
Boys, let's all join Brother Heath in
prayer" called out the oldest man in the
crowd, as he thought of home and the
joys awaiting him there. Brother Heath
fell on his knees in the jury-room and
prayed. He asked that the soul of Baker
might be softened, and that he might show
pity to McGregor and his family. Baker
was crying when the prayer ended, and
said he was willing to let McGregor go.

TEXAS SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES.

The Breckenridge clubhouse, which
Col. Breckenridge of San Antonio has
given to the university at Austin, is a
gift that VIII be appreciated more and
more as the years go by. The States
man describes the clubhouse: The build
ing, which is now being erected, and
which will be ready for occupancy No
vember l 1890. will be of brick, trim
med with stone, four stories high, with
mansard roof. 1t will be heated through
out by the Quincy hot water system,
which will insure the greatest cleanlI-
ness with the greatest amount of comfort
and safety. The lowest story or base
ment will contain large dining room
40 by "a, the Kitchen, pantry, store
room, etc. The other three stories will
contain twenty-four rooms each 90 by 10.
These three stories will be divided by
solid brick partition INTO practically two
buildings, each having its separate en-
trance. stairways and corridors. In
each of these buildings there will be on
every floor a suite of four rooms opening
upon corridor; and to each suite of
four rooms there will be accessible q
water closet and bath room, supplied at
all hours with hot and cold water. Each
room will have q large bag window, a
roony wardrobe and be fitted up with
gas fixtures. In short, the Breckenridge
club house will be supplied with every
convenience and will be as attractive as
a first class modern residence.
The Lancaster Masonic institute which
is described as being "practical, pro-
gressive, non-seetarian school, opens
on the 18th inst. under the management
of Professor Thomas Lacy with an able
corps of assistants. The school is divided
into three departments, where thorough
training is given in all branches incident
to fitting schools.

Texas" said Mr.. Stubs when talk OF
the craft had ceased.
"Then you've found out where Greer
belongs?'
"No," he admitted, al don't know
where Greer is but do know one thing
positively. -
"what's that?"
"That Greer county is the best and
most beautiful piece of country IN Texas
if it is in Texas
Then the right bower OF Stubs &
Bulls began to talk in earnest. "Tbat's
what it is, the handsomest county any
where near Texas. That is ouly from
the point of scenery. Everybody who
has seen Greer will tell you that. The
majority of the land is rolling prairie
with the streams fringed with q fine
growth of timber. In the west the
ground rises into low hills and makes
valuable grazing lands.'
eyes, he said in answer to O query,
''wheat is the principal product SO far.
Greer always will be q cereal country.
There is little cotton there this year,
but it is essentially q wheat country.
This year is what you might almost call
our first year at producing, and since
the season opened Greer has puI 1000
bushels of wheat on an average daily
into Vernon. I tell you we keep that
tow busy. II you want to see q dull
day there just look when q heavy rain
has swelled the Red river go our teams
can t cross it. When We get railroad
Frazer will do that business and Vernon
will take rest.
1.-The acreage of crops next year 1
suppose will be double this year 's?''
"Yes, and morei Settlers are coming
in rapidly. The lands are being taken
up in hurry and since the few rains
we had the fall work has begun and
will go forward right up to Christmas,
the way it did last year. Wheat this
year on new lands averaged from six
teen to eighteen bushels to the acre aud
the yield next year will probably be
better. Tue crop will be tremendous.
'Frazer is improving rapidly, but we
need railroad 10 set the pace. We eX-

are talking of road. When we get fla

river, which tradition says the Indians

derful difference in Greer. The sgri-
cultural land is fine, the grazing country
is good, and other resources are numer-
Gus. You see, the people will never
have to depend on any one product,
which is good thing
"By the way, there was a veterans
reunion at Navajoe Thursday and Friday,
when the wearers of the blue and gray
hobnobbed with each other and listened
TO some 9ne speaking.
At this point Mr.. Stubs had to skip
for train. "But, as l said, Greer is
