BLAZE AT GREENVILLE.
Quite Disastrous Fire Resulting from an
Explosion in Saioon-Seriously
Injured in Il Runaway.
Special to the Gazette.


GREENvILLE, Hunt COUNTY, TEX, Nov.
6.-About $3.50 this morning an explosion
occurred in the rear end of the White
Wings saloon, which made made the win
dow lights in that vicinity rattle. In an in
slant the saloon and the Royal restaurant,
which adjoined it, there being but 4 thin
wooden partition dividing them, were
in blaze. The alarm was turned in and
in a short space of time Greenville's excel
lent fire company had four streams of wa
ter pouring on the burning buildings and
after an hours hard work amid smoke and
flames, succeeded in checking and finally
putting the fire out The walls
of the buildings were not injured, but all
the inside woodwork was destroyed by the
flames. The saloon building was insured
for $500. The stock of the White Wings
saloon was entirely destroyed, the loss
being estimated at 5000, with $1,000
insurance. The fixtures of the Royal
restaurant were destroyed. Mr.. Childress
had 500 insurance on his restaurant, and
estimates his loss at $1,000. Ed Bottoms
barber shop, which adjoined the saloon was
totally wrecked by one of the streams
of water J. H Hinkle, who
was sleeping in the rear end of the res
taurant was awakened by the explosion,
and the flames spread so rapidly that he
barely escaped from the building with his
life.
This morning q couple of sneak thieves
entered the clothing store of Mr.. a. NJ. Da-
wilson and grabbing up some clothes made
4 break for the woods. They were cap
tured, however, and the clothes returned.
Yesterday evening Tom Willis, who lives
out in the country near Greenville, came
near losing his life by being thrown from
his wagon by his runaway team on Lee
street. As he fell the bed of the wagon
struck him, knocking him senseless. At
last report lie was resting easy.

Election Day in Cork,

CORK, Nov. 6.-The election here today
was for successor in parliament to the
late Mr.. Parnell. who represented Cork
city in the house OF commons. The Parnellite
candidate is John F. Redmond, late member
OF parliament for North Warteford. who re-
signed the latter seat in order to contest
Cork City. He is now the acknowledged
successor of Parnel in the leadership of
that ring of the Irish party The McCar-
thyite candidate is Martin F'lavin. a butter
merchant of this city. So much has al
ready been said about the bitter political
campaign fought here during the past
two weeks that it is only necessary to call
attention TO the fact that the full power
weight and influence of the priests is with
the McCarthyites. The priests have made
a house TO house canvass of the voters, fol-
lowing Immediately on the Parnellite can
vasSerS and threatening the electors with all
sorts of horrible things if they voted
for Redmond or failed to vote for Flavin
In order to avert possible disorder the
polls this morning were strongly guarded
by squads of police who had
come prepared for any emergency.
In addition to the precautions taken by the
police authorities the military commander
of this district took extraordinary steps TO
quell any kind of an uprising
At the close of the polling F7lavin was
credited with the victory. The poll boxes
were escorted from the out laying districts
by troops and police. The counting of the
ballots will commence in the morning.
The polling was heavy Even the lame
and blind we're brought out and led up to
the polling places. 1t has been notable
that in the many alterations betweenathe
priests and Parnellites the women in most
cases sided with the priests. William
O'Brien received an ovation from
the women, who presented him
with flowers and even Invested
themselves of their shawls for him to walk
upon. The supporters of Flavin claim a
majority of 1900 for him. while the Parnell-
ties believe that they carried the election by
a majority of 100.

CATTLE DYING.
THE FEARFUL DROUTH IN THE
LOWER RIO GRANDE.
Cattle Have to be Driven From Grass to

Can't Sell at ANY Price.
Special TO the Gazette.

Special TO the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TFX., Nov. 6.-The coun-
try tributary to the lower Rio Grande has
suffered from drouth greatly this year. j. L.
Egan, customs inspector at Laredo, states
that while a few local showers have
fallen at Laredo, the surrounding
coIntry has suffered terribly. Cattle.
sad he, on the large ranches in Starr and
Zapata counties are falling to the ground
out of sheer exhaustion and there they die
For a great radius around the water-holes
on the ranches the grass is completely
stamped and eaten away, so that
the animals are compelled to travel
for miles from their grazing to the water,
often a whole days travelling. OF course
their emaciated condition cannot stand
many such trips, and they die by the hun
dreds in going to water or back to their
grazing. The stockmen have offered entire
and $3.50 per head, but they
can't dispose of them at any price. They
are losing everything right straight along,
for it is impossible for them to drive the
animals to better pasturage, as the misera-
BILE condition in which the stock is at pres
ent will not permit it.
The stock interests in Webb county are
chiefly in sheep, out this kind of stock is
not nearly as susceptible to the drouth as
are cattle

Trying to Force Answers

CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. 6.-Nearly year
ago United States District Attorney Mil
christ began an investigation before the
Federal grand jury of an alleged discrimina-
ton in freight rates in favor of Swift < Co.
He summoned before the grand jury four
of Swift 81 Co.'S clerks to testify. To each
was put the question: ibid Swift s. Co.
get railroad rates lower than the regular
TARIFF
All four clerks declined to answer on the
ground that they might incriminate them
selves. To-day Milchrist notified the attor-
ney for Swift's four clerks that on Monday
next before Judge Blodget he would
apply for a writ against the four
to show cause why they should
not be punished for contempt. Milchurst
said to-day he would either bring the young
men to time and learn all about
the freight rate determinations
and violations of the interstate
commerce law, or he would ask that SEN
tence be imposed. If the court decides the
cases warrant it ne will send the
four young men to jail. 1t
is presumed that they will take
an appeal and testify in the upper courts
as dig Charles Counselman, who refused to
testify before the grand jury.
