A Gambler and His Mistress Mysteriously
Murdered.
BELToN, Tex, Aug. Considerable ex-
citement was occasioned this morning
when it became known that Pick Wiese-
mann and Cora McMahons disreputable
woman, were shot and killed at midnight
Saturday while driving in a buggy from
Bolton to Temple. About week ago
Wiesemann was tried here for murder and
found not guilty. The verdict did not give
universal satisfaction. He killed deputy
marshal at Temple last January. While on
trial for this charge he shot a man in a
gambling house. The woman who was shot
with him exercised herself considerably in
his behalf in the above cases. Officers have
no clue whatever to identify the assassins.

them.
II was knock-down blow for Mr. Cam
non. and the first he had received. Demo-
crats congratulated each other. Cannon
shook his head over his defeat and sweetly
smiled. Major Mckinley sympathized
with him. and Speaker Reed welded the
gavel with twice the energy he had dis
played before the defeat of the resolution.
The committee on rules did not lmmedi-
ately recover from the effect Of this reverse.
It remained quiet for ten days. Meantime
there was lots of fun in the house. Gentle
men had chance to speak who had never
been heard before. Most of them did not
seem to understand the question, but they
talked all the same, because they had the
opportunity. The temptation was too great
to be resisted.
Not one-sixth Of the time of the house is
consumed in discussing the merits of meas
ures. Some days there are dozen roll
calls on motions to approve the journal, to
adjourn, to recommit, to reconsider, to
order the previous question, to lay on the
table and similar maneuvres. Each roll
call takes from twenty-fiv to thirty min
utes. Much time is usually wasted in cor
rections of the Record. Then questions of
personal privilege are thrown into the hop
per. Recapitulations of the vote ars re-
quired. Somebody is always sure to take
up dS WuCn tlIl0 hS pOSelDlo upon lINmRto-
rial matters. It is not strange that new
members look puzzled and wonder why
they fail to secure recognition. They see
so much time wasted that they
can't understand it. II used in
legislating under the present organ
ization it is worse than wasted. The
best speakers in the house are sometimes
puzzled by such parliamentary tactics. If
they have any thing to say. however, they
get it out at some future time. Old mem
bers who are always in their seats are we'll
versee in the rules. Their ability and
length of service demand recognition, and
usually secure it. An old member
loaded with facts will fire them
off even if he has to do SO on
the day after the battle. The new men,
Der, however, usually carries his facts in
side his waistcoat pocket until congress ad-
journs. He may be the only man in the
house who understands the question at
issue, yet he is compelled to sit still and see
it butchered by privileged professional
takers without an opportunity to open his
head. The speaker cannot see him.

THE CONGRESSIONAL PROGRAMME

WARRINGTON, Aug. 1O.-Owing to the fact
that many members have gone to Boston to
attend the Grand Army encampment, it is
probable that little or no business will be
transacted in the house before the latter
part of the week. 1t was the intention Of
the lenders to assign the week to the agri-
cultural committee, which seeks action on
the compound lard and meat inspection
bills. and to the committee on education,
which is ready to call up the bill to extend
aid to agricultural colleges
In the senate the tariff bill will be dis
cussed until Friday, when it is expected the
river and harbor bill will be taken up. It
ID expected that conference reports on the
sundry OWL appropriation bill and land
grant forfeiture bill will also be presented.
