A negro monkey Q4ogothrix Humbold.
tii) has recently been purchased by the
London Geological Society. He has not
yet been publicly exhibited, but is at pres
ent under the care of the keeper in the
inner room of the monkey house at the
society's gardens, where he has been kept
for the sake of warmth since his arrival
during the very cold weather. The mon
key was in an exhausted condition when
he arrived at Regents Park, but having
been well nursed by the keeper he now
seems quite himself again, and playful in
his own quiet way. His face, which is
devoid of hair, his hands and the hair on
his head are jet black, so that he has the
appearance of diminutive negro two
feet high, dressed in a suit of grayish
brown fur. This view, of course, disre-
CARDS the long prehensile tail which he
possesses in common with his cousins,
the monkeys of the New World. This
tail is devoid of hair on the under side,
near the end, the bare part having the
same texture as the palms of the hands,
and the tip seeming to curl automatic
ally round any convenient object with
which it may come in contact This par
ticular Logothrix Humboldt likes to be
fondled by his keeper, readily coming out
of his cage, and as readily returning, be
having generally in very self contained
MANNER. He sits and talks" in his way
in little whistling voice, slightly show
ing row of even white teeth, and forms
a striking contrast in disposition to his
neighbors in the two opposite cages One
of these neighbors gets enraged If he il
looked at, while the other is so shy that
he turns away his face when spoken 10.

TRAIN ABLAZE.
Cotton, Cars and One Hundred Feet of
Rio Grande Track Burned Near
Stephenville.
Special to the Gazette.


STEPHENvILLE, FRATH COUNTY, Tex,
Oct 2O.-A couple OF carloads of cotton in
an east-bound freight caught fire last
evening about ten miles east of this place.
The cotton, cars ard about one hundred
feet of track were burned. The cotton and
cars are total loss. The burn in the track
delayed the west-bound passenger seven
hours. The passenger was crowded and
an unusual number of women and children
were aboard. In order to make them COM
Portable the gentlemen surrendered the
coach to the sleeping beauties. The COM
mercial angels enjoyed another OPP
portunity to show their gallantry and
did so in surrendering their seats and over
coats to the comfort of the ladies, and hied
themselves away 10 the forest, gathered
sticks, logs, ETC., and built huge fire,
around which they gathered and told big
yarns and cracked jokes while the track
was being replaced.
Jack Simon, the irrepressible news
"butch," made coffee and kept up the
spirits of the crowd. Emit Smith. a New
Orleans angel, a gentleman noted for his
piety, entertained the crowd large portion
of the time with religious quotations from
Shakespeare.
Newton Lassiter, attorney for the Rio
Grande road, and Capt E. I. Amber Of the
commercial purity band" discussed legal
technicalities and the evils of early and
protracted courtships, and thought such
matters should receive the attention of the
railroad commission. A great many COM
pliments were passed upon the Fort Worth
and Rio Grande trainmen last night for the
expeditions manner in which they handled
matters at the fire, considering there was
no water within ten miles of the fire. Con-
ductor Hodgson had charge of the passen-
ger train and was as cool as gentle moon
beam The loss will amount to about slO,-
QUO. The fire is supposed to have caught
from spark from the engine.

OMAHA NEB., Oct 20-The trans Mis-
sissippi congress organized permanently

cess until p. m.

then taken up.

sippi states should petition congress to open

board through which large vessels might

The secretary read letter from the ex-
ecutive committee of the irrigation con-
gress.
Mrs. Miller of Nebraska introduced a
resolution expressing the opinion that most
of the national laws that had been enacted
for the purpose of regulating interstate
commerce had been but a burden to the
people and should be repealed. These reso-
lutions were all referred to the committee
on resolutions.
Hon. T. j. Mahoney then addressed the
congress on the question OF production and
ver-prOduction.
Col. McGinnis Of Montana, one Of the
men who made it possible to live in the
West against the morbid attacks of alleged
philanthropists of the East, who are al
ways ready to condemn the killing of an
Indian, twas glad to ass ure the congress
that brighter day for the West had just
dawned" He discussed free coinage and
urged that silver be placed side by side
with gold.
Col. Cochrane of Missouri spoke of the
Joint interest of the East and the West and
said there was no real clash, but misun-
derstanding.-
Mr.. Crews Of Kansas offered resolution
opposing the free and unlimited coinage of
silver as being calculated to unsettle the
finances of the country. The resolution
was received with applause from the anti
free-silver men.

tive citizens Of rans-Mississippi states be

HONEST OLD NAM MY.
WHITE MAN HANGED FOR THE
MURDER OF A NEGRO.
Said to be the First White Man Ever Exc

Killing a Colored Person.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
New ORLEANS, La, Oct. 20.-The first
white man ever executed, either by the law
or mob, for the murder of a negro, was
lynched at Columbia, in Caldwell parish, in
this state, last night.
On the 18th an old negro woman named
Hagar Sterling was brutally muir
dered by white man by
the name of John Ruse.
Hagar was an honest old nanny living
some six miles from Columbia and liked and
respected by all her white neighbors. Ruse,
who was quite young man, got drunk and
while on his spree attacked the old woman
without the slie htest cause, and holding her
by the throat with one hand fired couple
of bullets into her with the other. The
wounds were mortal, but not Immediately
fatal. Ruse was identified by the woman
before she died, and was taken 10 the
parish jail at Columbia, charged with at
tempt at murder. Hagar died
shortly afterwards and the feel
ing against the murderer grew
stronger A mob of masked white men
put in their appearance late last night at
the parish Jail, forcibly compelled the iailer
to surrender the keys, took Ruse from the
jail and hanged him to a tree in the yard.

Working Like Beavers.

Senator Sherman, Ex-Governor Foraker
and Maj Mckinley all addressed meeting
in Ohio, taking the whole day for the work.
The fact that such men are continually upon
the stand, for Mckinley has made from one
to two speeches every weekday since ne
was nominated, while Sherman and Fora
ker for some weeks past have been devo t.
ing their time to the work, is evidence
enoSRh that the Republicans do not con-
9sssr that they have any walk-over in Ohio.
Jerry Simpson, who has been traveiing in
the state, says that the farmers vote with
the Peoples party vote will be, he thinks,
10000 Other people estimate it at $4,000,
with the Prohibition vote at 1900. Any
thing in approach to such votes as the small
est figures given here will give Maj Nc
kinley the privilege of becoming private
citizen for some time to come.

EUFAULA, l. r., Oct. 20.-Sunday evening
Policeman Len Alexander of Enterprise,
in the Choctaw Nation, brought in young
white man calling himself Ed Barkis, under
suspicion that he was one. Iona Roache,

Mandamus Suit.

A mandamus suit was to-day brought in
the Travis cou 1ty district court to compel
the commissioner of the general land office
to issue patents on couple OF
county. Sam DeCordOva, a land agent of
Austin, is the plaintiff, and William Won
Rosenberg is q co-defendant This is the
first attempt that has been made
since the 7O's to mandamus a
state officer. Prior to 1881. the
practice was not uncommon of bringing
such suits against the heads of depart
ments to compel the performance of certain
specific acts, but in that year
the legislature passed a law forbid
ing such suits thereafter. DeCordova
also asks for damages in the
sum of S6725 against the commissioner for
refusing to issue the desired patents. The
certificates were located in November,
1890 n,O on t two sections tic b Of M land
Won Rosenberg had previously located
Confederate donation certificates, but in
doing so had failed. as it is claimed to
comply with the law in two important par
ticulars. First, he located his own pri-
vate claim in Runnels county and that of
the state or school fund some
where near the Rio Grande, and
not as the law required CONTINUOUSLY. This
alone would invalidate his location. But,
besides. he failed to return the field notes
of the survey to the land Office within the
year prescribed by law, and for that reason
the location became null and void. So
recites plaintiffs petition. There being no
location. therefore the land belonged to the
public domain and was subject to location
under plaintiffs certificate.
AS to the law of 1881, which forbids the
bringing of such suits against the heads of
departments or other state officials, it IS
held by the attorneys for the plaintiff that
it is unconstitutional, and cannot stand.
The constitution, say they, in express
words clothes the courts with power
and authority to issue writs
of certiorari habeas corpus, mandamus and
others, and the legislature can not deprive
them of that power There has
been more or less friction
for some months between Commissioner
McGaughev and the land agents, of whom
there are about fifty here. This is the first
direct attack that has been made on him
through the courts or otherwise
