Bobo, with whom she spent nine months Of
tho happiest of her life. She was one Of
the most quiet unassuming, christians ever
knew. She loved her church and she was
true freud of her pastor. How suddenly
the message came but we believe it found
her ready. "We sorrow not as those who
have no hope," but we confidently expect
to meet her again. May God bles, her nged
parents, upon whom, possibly, the stroke
falls heavier, and give them grace to say,
"Thc Lord gave, the Lord hath taken away,
blessed be the name Of the Lord" To the
sorrowing brothers and sisters, may lie
pour His gracious spirit upon, and to my
dear friend, the bereaved husband, may lie
help him to strive to meet his Ida, where no
more sad partings shall ever come, but
where VIC will be permitted to spend eternity
with God, angels and loved ones.

RIGHTS OF PUBLIC wEIGHERs.
An Interesting Case in the District Court Of
Lamar County.


PARIS, Tex, Oct. 7.-Yesterday and today
suit involving some half a million dollars
has been on trial in the district court. In
September, 1888, J.B. Johnson was appoint
ed by the county court public weigher at
Paris and at the November election was
duly elected such weigher. johnson & Long
of the Lamar Warehouse company, Martin,
Wise q Fitzhugh, Capel & Lewis, WORTH
Duncan d Co., cotton buyers, employed
private buyers to weigh all cotton bought
by them. This suit is brought by Johnson
the public weigher, to recover the penalty.
$5 per bale, imposed by law of 1879
amended in 1883, prescribing penalty of
not less than IS per package to be recovered
by the weigher of any firm who
employ any person other than the public
weigher to weigh cotton, wool, etc. This
suit involves cotton weighed during 1884,
1885 and 1886, and the penalties sought are
over 100000. Yesterday demurrer was
argued. The court ruled that while he had
doubts of the constitutionality of such law
which placed no maximum limits to pun
ishment, yet he would leave 1t to the su-
preme court, but he held that each bale
weighed constituted a separate and dis.
tinct violation, and required the plaintiff
to set each out separately with the name OF
the owner, etc., in his Headings. This re-
quirement virtually kills the case,

POWDER WORKS EXPLODED.
The Village in Which They are Situated
Wrecked and Several Lives Lost.

The Village In Which They are Situated
Wrecked and Several Lives Lost.
WILMINGTON, DEL. Oct. 7.-Several start
ling explosions in succession which occurred
at 3'S0 p. m. announced to Wilmington dis
aster at the Dupont powder works on the
Brandywine. A rush was made for the tel
ephone, but nothing could be learned be-.
yond vague reports of damage.
An Associated Press reporter fastened at
once to the scene and has just sent the in
formation that the whole section of the
works known as the upper yard is COM
plete wreck and that at least six lives have
been lost. One of the magazines went off
first and then the rolling and drying mills
near by were set off by the conclusion
and followed in rapid succession.
There were at least seven distinct success
sive explosions. Dwellings in the neigh
Dorhood are reported wrecked or unroofed
and more or less damaged. Telephone
inquiries from Westchester state that the
section.
Later "A messenger has Just brought in
the following dispatch, which shows that
the worst has not yet been learned of the
explosions: Ten Killed; twenty wounded.
Rockland complete wreck; none of its
houses left standing.
Rock Island is village on the Brandy
wine fully one mile above the scene of the
explosion. 1t comprises large mill owned
by the Joseph d Moore company, and
about fifty dwellings in which are chief,
the residences of Dill employees. Its pop
ulatlon is about 200. The evidence of its
obstruction at this distance leads to the be-.
lief here that the number of killed and
wounded is not yet fully ascertained.

FESTIVAL OF THE YELLED PROPHETS.
Description Of Some of the Floats in the
Parade at st. Louis.

Description Of Some of the Floats In the
Parade at st. Louis.
| ST, LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. IAN immense
concourse of people witnessed the parade of
the Yelled Prophets tonight. They crowded
the streets and sidewalks along which the
parade moved and viewed the procession
from every conceivable point of vantage.
The subject of the prophets show tonight
was the Nonsensical Alphabet. Most of
the floats were humorous and all eaualed
in design and richness of construction those
of any previous year.
The first float bore the veiled prophet
and his lieutenants, his first and second
high priest, his almoner and his herald.
In shower of stars which was the back
ground of this picture, the first letter of
the alphabet was seen seen dimly outlined.
clouds in which were shown the outlines of
human faces.
Following came numerous floats repre-
senting by objects upon them the let
ters Of the alphabet. After traversing
the principal streets of the city, and having
reached the corner of Fourteenth street and
Lucas place all the lights were extinguisheu
and the veiled prophet and his household
entered the exposition building. At 8
o'clock the lights again blazed and the
guests hidden to the ball, which wound up
the celebration,

REORGANIzING THE CENTRAL.
An Effort In that Direction Defeated by a
Court Decision.

OOurb DtClblOH.
New YORK, Oct. THE effort OF Michael
Ergsteini IL Co. to have the Central trust
enjolned from proceeding with the assess
ment of II 4-l0 to reorganize the Houston
and Texas Central Railroad company has
been defeated by the decision of Judge
Patterson of the supreme court handed
down today. The plaintiffs were stock
holders of the old railroad, who considered
the assessment was levied with the inten-
ton of freezing them out of the company
by reason of large assessments on their
stock. This tbe second suit they have
brought to prevent assessment. In the firs
one they were successful on technicalities.
and the first assessment of rs per cent on
the old stockholders was declared void
The objections of Judge O'Brien were re.
moved by the manner In which the present
assessment of II 4-10 was arrived az.
Judge Patterson says the trust company
has done its duty in good faith and has ex
ercised its best judgment In passing upon
matters to be determined by it in connec
ton with making assessments.

MANUFACTURE OF TIN PLATE.
1t is to be Attempted in Chicago and the
Reasons Therefor.

Reasons Therefor.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. THE Illinois Steel
company will engage in the manufacture Of
tin plate in Chicago. 1t will have an ex-
tensive and costly plant for this purpose, to
be established at an early date. Probably
English and Eastern capitalists will have
an important interest in the business.
About the enterprise reporter yesterday
talked with Mr.. O. M. Potter, who is en-
thusiastic concerning the venture. He is
director in the company and was presi-
dent of its predecessor, the North Chicago
Rolling Mill company.
II think can safely say" declared Mr..
plate will be manufactured in Chicago by
our company"
"Wlll the manufacturers of the plate be
practicable and profitable?"
Entirely So" The steel company with
its works will be able 10 roll steel as thin as
tin plate, and now that The tariff is so high
as to make it 81 cure in enterprise, there is
no reason why it should not go ahead al
the earliest possible moment. A large pro-
portion of the work would be done by ma.
chinery in place Of hand, as it is done in
Wales"
You regard it then as an important
enterprise?"
Every. Why there are between 35O,0N
and 100000 tons of tin plate used in thii
country every year and not pound Of i
is made here"

Huntington system by reason of the en-
ployment of coiored switchmen. Grand

fusing to discharge the colored employees.
