The stone called Texas marble. says
Professor Cummins, page 165, is nothing
more than a partly metamorphosed shay
limestone. There are however
several good quarries of marble that in
beauty VIII rival the best. The most nots-
BILE deposit is few miles southeast of San
Saba, and only short distance from the
Fleming springs, where there is sufi-
Gent water to run machinery for working
the marble. The marble in this vicinity
has several colors, ranging from pure white
10 shades in red or flesh color. These beds
are at the base of the carboniferous for.
nation or atop of the silurian.
Another locality where fine marble has
been quarried is on the north side of Chero-
kee creek, six miles below the town of
Cherokee, near the farm of Mr. Charles
Harris. -
This subject is one of so much general
interest as showing what there is in Texas,
that we shall continue it ip au~ work Of this

A Circus and a Lynching.

Franklin, Tenn, April 3O.-The
city was crowded with negroes yester-
day, the occasion being the performance
of a ten-cent circus. One of the ne
groeS, jim Taylor, became very trouble
some, and shot Policeman Charles Cook,
who was trying to arrest him. He was
afterward lodged in jail. About 10
o'clock last night a well-organized mob
Of men attacked the Jail, overpowered
the Sheriff, took the keys from him, and
quietly carried the negro down side
street to the covered bridge and hung
him up to a cross beam. All was done
in an orderly manner under recognized
leaders His body was then riddled
with bullets and left hanging. The mob
then quietly dispersed. Most of them
were on horseback, and no one knows
who they were. 1t has since been
learned that in the fight the negro also
shot one OF the circus men.

..ailroai3 Must Pay More Money

1t has been learned from II letter re-
Gently sent by Taylor, commissioner of
railroads, to the secretary of the inter
Tor, that action is about to be taken
under the recent decision of the sup
rene court of t e United States in the
case of the United States, appellant, VS..
the Central Pacific railroad company.
The decision reverses the decision OF
the court of claims in which it was
held that in the process of ascertaining
the net earnings of the Union and
Central Pacific railroad companies
upon which the % per cent. is re-
quired to be paid to the government,
under the Thurman act, it was proper
to deduct from the gross earnings not
only the actual operating expenses,
necessary repairs and interest on first
mortgage bonds, but also that there
should be deducted all sums paid for
improvements, betterments aid new
equipments. The supreme court re-
verses this deci ion and holds that
under the Thurman act the next earn
ings must be ascertained by deducting
from the gross earnings only the actual
operating expenses, necessary repairs
made within the year, and interest on
first mortgage bonds. Under this
method of calculation the net earnings
of the Central Pacific company will be
increased 81 900 and the net earnings
of the Union Pac tic company nearly
81 600, 900 since the passage of the
Thurman act, Is per cent. of which
sums will now be recovered by the
government.
A letter received by the +ecretGry
from Comm ssioner Taylor calls atten-
ton to the decision of the court and
suggests that it will be necessary to
make IL restatement of accounts with
these roads and asks the secretary fol
instructions in the matter. Commits
sioner TAYLOR, under orders from Secre
tary Noble, has had conference will
the acting secretary of the treasury
with the view of getting full repor
of all bills for services of the UniOr
and Central Pacific companies on I'LL
in the treasury department and no
acted upon. 1t is; intended to ascertain
accurately the state of accounts be
tween the government and these road
and then insist upon prompt paymen
Of the amounts found to be due.
Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1891-02-19

The special agent osf the general
land office, appointed June last by
Secretary Noble to investigate alleged
large timber depredations in the Rainy
lake aud Rainy river country, in
Northern Minnesota, by both Canadian
ana American parties, state in their
report that such definite information
of large depredations has been obtained
AS will enable the government to sus-
tain actions Of law against the trcspass-
ers. The yearly average of logs pass
ing through the Rainy river is said to
be between 45,0OO,0o0 and 10000, 600
feet. OF this amount about four-ffths
came from the United States and the
remainder from Canada. Two-thirds
Of this timber is unlaw'ully cut from
government land, and besides several
instances where lands have been i'm
properly certified to the state of Min
nesota rs swamp lands, have been dis
covered. The sensation will come
when the interior department brings
suit against two or three big lumber
firms, one of which has its headquar-
tiers at Du nth. The government can
not at present get at the stealiugs of
the Canadians.
The report of Professor Elliott, COM
missioner appointed to investigate the
condition of the seal fisheries, was not
among the documents presented to
congress yesterday. 1t is held by See
rotary Blaine. The report of special
agents tend to confirm what Professor
Elliott found to be the case-that UNI
less the killing of seals is stopped for II
number of years it will not b. long
until there will be no seals to kill.
Last year the North American com
pany, which got lease from the gov
eminent, killed 2l,OO0. 1t had the
! right to kill 100000 the first year and
100 600 each year following. The old
! Alaska Seal company has gone out OF
business. Professor Elliott thinks that
the absolute stopping of seal catching
for about seven years would make tn,
fisheries once more valuable. Should
any arrangements be made for pre-
venting any seal catching during q
given period the U.lited States would
no. be liable to the Nortl, American
for any failure to comply with CON
tracts. That company took the least
subject to such conditions.

The United States government has
authorized test, at Fort Sheridan, of
a new gun, nine and one-half feet long,
said to be capable Of throwing dyna-
mite or other high explosives shells Il
distance of five miles 1000 times in
succession without even becoming
heated. The inventor is Louis Gath
mann, of Chicago. The chief novel
feature is the use Of liquified carbonate
gas, delivered automatically along the
entire length of the bore at the instant
of discharge not only as an absorbent
OF the heat generated, but rs IA cooler
after the charge has left the gun. BY
another device pneumatic pressure is
produced with powder. Should the
invention prove Il success, Gathmann
expects that the existing systems of
coast defense would be revolutionized.
