The interior of the bank has little special

The various halls are spacious and modern

The delicious candy which Is known as
ssnougat'' is nothing but melted sugar into

of fruit have been mixed. It's boiled little

favored with vanilla or rose, Is poured Off
into boxes lined with sheets of white waters
of paper-like thinness. 1t is cut into
squares and strips Small pieces called
"nougatines' are dipped into chocolate or
cream.
To make rock candy the sugar is boiled
only for a few minutes and is then crystal
lized by being dipped from the kettle in
which it is boiled. Caramel candy is made
from the same syrup as other candies, but it
is boiled longer. until it has attained
slightly yelowish tinge. 1t is then poured
out into patches on creased marble tables,
about 20 pounds OF sugar TO each batch.
When it has cooled sufficiently to
be lifted in mass it is run through
a set of rollers in order to give
it an equal thickness, after which it is again
placed on the table and man goes over 1t

sists of a roller fitted with blunt circular
knives and creases the candy into the dia-
mond shapes in which it is afterward cut.
When chocolate caramel is desired guam

in with the syrup.
The caramels are cut by girls who wrap
them into small pieces of waxed paper, so
that the candies shall not stick together.
The girls use wide-bade knives and cut
through the lines previously made by the
caramel cutter. The candy is then weighed
and sent to the packing-room.

THE CONSEQUENCES
Warrants Issued for Every One Who Refuses
to Answer the Questions Of the Census
EnumeratOrs.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
New YORK, June 8.-1he people who have
taken poor advice, urging them to refuse o
answer any of the questions put to them
by the census enumerators will to
morrow find themselves in the hands
of United States marsbals. 1t has probably
been lots of fun for most of these people to slam
their doors in the faces OF the enumerators and
refuse to answer questions, but when
the United States marshal comes to
them tomorrow morning with arrest
warrants it will probably not look much like
fun after all. During the six days of the CEN
sus taking, so far, there have been in the neigh
borhood of twenty cases OF refusSls to answer
any of the questions to which the census sheets
require replies. The first case was that
of Bernard Smith, the East side
liquor dealer, who denied so energeticallY the
right of Samuel Marks, enumeration, to question
him that Marks fed from the place and sought
the protection of the police. Smith was badly
defiant when his case was first made public. but
when the law shown to him and he
what the penalty was he regretted. exceedingly
his rash act. Yesterday United States District
Attorney Edward Mitchell received
telegram from the encouragement in
structing him to begin proceedings
against those who have refused to
answer questions. The names. of the delinquent
citizens had been reported. to Washington by
Supervisor Charles H. Murray and early to-
morrow morning warrants viii be obtained on
which the arrests will be made. Every arrange
ment has been looked to for the immediate
prosecution of these cases.

COURTHOUSE NOTES.
Busy Scenes in the Justice Mills Yesterday.
Criminal Docket Taken Up and Mur-
der Cases Set.

In district court the criminal
docket was taken up Monday morning
and a good deal of business shuffied off i.
The State against Henry Hittson, for
theft was dismissed by the county attor-
ney on account OF insufficient evidence to
support conviction.
In the case of the State against Billy
Oliver for theft of n watch, he was
found not guilty. 1t was proved in the
trial that def endant was guilty of steal
ing the watch, but as he was indicted for
'theft of over S2O'' aud not for 'theft
from the person - he escaped on that
technicality.
The defendant in the case of the state
against Joe Elliott, for assault to muir
der H. W. Spear in the fall of 1888 at
Arlington, plead guilty to aggravated
assault and was fined S25. In the same
shooting scrape Bill Smith was engaged
as friend of Spear. In similar in
dictment he plead guilty to aggravated
assault and wasrgiven the same fine.
The case of the state against Jim
Mann, for theft of the person, and that
against Jim Dillon on the same charge
was dismissed. Also that of the state
against Ralph Garland for the theft of
So from Mary Joyce was dismissed.
The forgery case of the state against
G. c. Schooler was dismissed for lack of
evidence to support q conviction. Gar
land was charged with forging the name
of R. J. Duncan to a timeacheck on the
Fort Worth and Denver City road.
The trials of Con H. Hines, jeff Dag
are set for the 10th, 18th and 23d, re-
spectively. The case of f. B. WeitZel,
charged with an attempt to murder A.
]. Anderson, will come up again this
term.
A divorce suit was fled in district
court yesterday by J. J. Watson against
Jane Watson. The petition recites that
they were married in October of 1888,
and that the defendant almost immedi-
ately began a system Of abuse and SLAM
der upon the plaintiff, and shamefully
abused his children by his first wife. She
several times informed him and others
that she only married him for his money
and property. The defendants course
of petty neglect and abuse ended in her
abandoning the plaintiff, on which
grounds he now prays for divorce.
In the county court the case OF l.. &.
Vaughn against C. R. Scott was on trial.
This is an action for the payment of land
commissions to the amount OF $3.50. The
case will be resumed this morning.
The plaintiffs recovered $500 IN the suit
of the Rosedale street railway company
against J. C. Brown, receiver for the
Texas and Pacific railway company. This
was an action to recover damages for the
destruction of the plaintiffs car by the
defendants engine.
The commissioners oourt of Tsrrant
county convened Monday and. were
busy in passing on claims against the
county. The returns of the election held
in Arlington recently on the local option
question were opened and "loeal option
declared to be set aside by 8 vote OF
62 to 6.

Permit me space in your paper to voics the
sentiment of the Democracy of Armstrong
county, in branding as false the recent report
given in the Dallas News of our county Demo-
cratic convention. Out of the thirty -one votes
cast in that convention for the Hogg delegate,
there Is not one whose genuine Democracy can
not be established, and it shall not go to the
world that the Armstrong county convention
controlled by Republicans and union
laborites without correction. The tenor of the
article shows that the writer giving vent to
his spleen by misrepresenting the truth, because
he did not affiliate with the majority of the con-
vention. The sentiment Of this county is and
has been strongly in favor of Hogg and the COM
mission, and the Democracy were determined
that their voice should be thus expressed in the
state convention.

this morning, Resolutions were adopted which
say among other things: we note with special
satisfaction the example set by Postmaster
General and Mrs. Wanamaker in giving their
splendid entertainments without wine. They
have set noble example, and it is worth much
to the temperance cause. On state
occasions liquors weight the table
presided over by our Christian presi-
dent and his lady. The vice-president
goes in this respect to greater excess, and be-
in property which he owns controls. We
recommend that the law OF total abstinence be
most rigidly enforced by the courts of the
promptly acted upon
