Arkansas County Notes.

ARKANSAS Co., Tex, October s, 1891.
Special TO the LIGHT
Last night was perilous near a frost
here on the coast, but it is dry and
we thus escaped; Mr.. Foster has hit
it for once in long time. This is the
coolest weather for this time of the
year, known here for thirty years.
Many ranchmen have been here
from the west trying to procure pas
turage for their furnishing cattle,
with but partial success. 1 fear the
loss OF stocki in the western counties
will be great this winter. R3ckport
seems in statue quo, but if they can
raise the means they intend trying
the dynamiter.
Your correspondent read letter
from friend in New York a day or

New York in the republican column
this time, we are determined to Dust
Tammany in this state; even the
mug wumps for the most part are
are with us, and we are united, and
pulling together" and sincerely do l
wish them success. L think this fall
will witness many disappointed
democrats all along the line.

ZAMLOCH
In His SIeight-of-Hand Tricks Last
Night

A thoroughly appreciative audience
greeted Prof. Iamloch last night at the
opera house in his Sleight-Of-han per-
Torrance. The professor is very clever
man at his business, and the tricks he
performed were at once difficult and well
executed. Prominent among them were
the wine and water trick, the spirit table
and goblin drum, and various others. His
watch and handkerchief trick was the
recipient of hearty approval from the
audience. The trick consists in shooting
watch and handkerchief from the
stage to box suspended in the mid
die of the opera house. The making of
an omlette from which two live doves
were produced was another Splenddly
executed trick. His trip through the in
fernal regions in which he goes into a
basket on the stage and the next seen of
him is coming through the door of the
opera house and walking down the isle.

Edison's New Electric Car Motor.

Edison's New Electric Car Motor.
A new form of electric motor for
street cars has been invented by
Thomas A. Edison. He has not yet
made public any of the details, but
says that the method of applying the
current will be neither the trolley
nor storage systems, but that a wire
will be laid beneath the rails, and
the Importance of the invention will
consist of the fact that by its use the
current may be picked up" from the
rails without danger. A model has
been successfully tried on n road with
6 per cent grade. Mr.. Edison says
the new system will be from two to
three times cheaper than cable road
and will cost one-third as much as
the trolley system.

IN NEED OF MONEY.
A Receiver for the Alamo Electric
Railway.

A Receiver for the Alamo Electric
Railway.
The cars of the Alamo Electric
Street Railway company came TO a
dead stand-still Saturday at noon,
and did not commence running again
until yesterday morning.
The cause OF the tie-up was that the
San Antonio Gas and Electric compa-
ny shut off the power which they
have been furnishing them since
the line first commenced operating,
on account of the non-payment of the
monthly dues owed them by the
street car company which amounts to
about $1,000.
The company has not been able to
pay expenses for some time. Judge
Sweezy filed an attachment against
the company for $4,000 ON behalf of
the East End company, which adj
vanced that sum of money to have the
line extended out to the East
End, which was not done by
the company on account of their
financial difficulties. Although the
material for the extension was
distributed, the work has never been
completed.
II. s. McElroy, who represents the
company, has been working very
hard trying to find way out Of the
difficulty.
This morning application to Judge
NoonaD for q receiver was made, and
Mr.. L. M. Gregory was appointed to
that position.

REPUBLICAN, JUDGES.

An Opinion That President Harrison Will
Not Feel Called Upon To Appoint Amy
Others.
ssThere has been great deal of gos-
sip about the new United States judges
to be appointed" said a friend OF Attor-
ney-General Miller, who Is urging the
appointment OF Representative Payson,
..and the most extraordinary claims are
set forth as to the advisability of APP
pointing one or more democrats. So far
as know 1t has always been the custom
In this country for United States judges
% be spfectut from the party IN power.
No president, so far as know-certainly
not since Monroe--has appointed judges
from the opposition; and In spite OF all
that one hears these days of the advisa-
bility OF making non-political ap-
pointments for the bench the ap-
pointments are really from the
MANURE and Importance OF the
duties performed just as political as any
that can be made. / do not mean by this
that persons should be appointed who
have so little character that they can be
relied upon to decide the semi-pOlitical
questions that come before the courts In
this or that way. Far from II; such ap.
pointments would be disgraceful and
do not believe any such will be made by
President Harrison. What l mean Il
that persons ought to be, and believe
will be, appointed who have the repub
lican idea, as contrasted with the demo
cratic idea, touching the powers ant
functions OF the several branches OF the
United States government and state gov
ernments. No, do not thing Judg'

rserlng Sea. NOS Isehrlng.

We all spell Bering Sea wrongly, 1t
seems. The name of the Danish navi-
gator, after whom the sea in question
was called, was Vitus Bering. 1--WE
do not, indeed, !" says a learned writer
in the Neue Zuricher Zeitung, possess
an account OF his voyages published by
himself, but the historian, Gerhard
Friedrich Muller, who, when in the
service of the car, accompanied an
expedition TO eastern Siberia, and had
free access TO all official documents,
used Behring'S written memoranda in
his History of Siberia, a work con-
sisting of FIVE volumes, and faithfully
rendered the name OF Commodore
Bering. This same spelling was fol-
lowed throughout by the reviser OF
Mullen's History, j. E. Fischer, who
was also member OF the expedition
lust mentioned. and went to Siberia in
1740, when the commodore was still
living; by the German, &. w. Steller,
who had accompanied the discoverer as
naturalist; by j. G. Gmelin, st. Kras-
chenninikow, and several other au-
thors describing Siberian travels OF the
eighteenth century. The correct
spelling is further found in our best
handbooks and maps, such rs Gamma
bisch, Daniel, Stieler, etc. Let Us
hope that all this will be accepted as
conclusive. 1t would be dreadful, In
deed, TO have another open question In
connection with this nuchryexed sea-

A Benedict Flees From Wrath To Come
Before the Wedding supper Is Over.
TORONTO, Ont, March 17.-The sensa-
tional termination of marriage that
took place In ST. Luke's Anglican church
last night is the talk of the city to-day.
At o'clock Fred w. Hall, of, Cleveland,
o., and Miss Katie Warren, of Ottawa,
were made man and wife with all the inn
pressive rites of the Anglican church.
The bride and groom and invited guests
went back TO Mr.. Wafren's house, where
the wedding supper was laid out. The
guests had just sat down and merriment
was holding full sway when a
friend of the young lady beckoned to the
groom to come to the door of the room.
Hall Immediately grew white and replied
nervonsly: us 1t me you want2" He
went out The friend charged him, upon
information brought by gentleman who
knew Hall. with being married man
anfshaving a family. After some hesi-
Cation Hall admitted that he had been
married In England, but claimed that he
had obtained divorce. The matter be-
coming known the greatest excitement
prevailed, and In the midst OF it, after
Miss Warren had given back the we'd
ding ring, Hall disappeared through the
back door and has not since been seen.
1t is supposed that he left for Cleveland
on the night train. The young lady has
the sympathy of every one, and steps
will at once be taken to have the mar
riage annulled.

pointed.
LEMARs, Ia, March 17.-Special:
Last evening was the time for the finish
ing of the business Of the old city coun-
Gil and the commencing of the new. The
old council met, all members being pres
ent, and finished the regular routine of
business. Among the petitions was one
from j. Ill. Winchel, owner of the water
works, asking for an electric light fran
chise under certain conditions. 1t was
laid on the table.
After the old council adjourned the
new council met, all members being pres
ent. The new council then proceeded to
appoint city officers and fix their salaries.
The salaries were fixed as follows: City
clerk, $3.50 per month; marshal, S55
per month and fees In all cases except
instances; In other words, saloon fines;

fees; second deputy marshal, sos
per month, no fees; street
commissioner, $50 per month; city ply
siciaa, $50 per year; fire chief, Sl00 per
year; weighmaster, to pay license of

ser; deputy marshal, Mic Hentges; sec
ond deputy marshal, John Horrigan;
street commissioner, Geo. Gee; weigh
master, Thomas Adamson; city physician,
DIR. A. p. Bowman; fire chief, Thomas
Adamson. These were all reappoint-
ments, with the exception of city ply
sician. The appointments will no doubt
give general satisfaction, as the officers
L. n ~ IL
cilmen had considerable sport by taking
informal ballots and voting for anybody
they could think of. A petition was read,
asking the appointment Of superintend-
ent of the coming electric light plant,
but was tabled as being little prema-
ture.
After adjournment the council was
treated to the usual oyster supper.

Northern New York Elders Reply to
Committee OF Church Folks. ~
Early in the winter leading railroad
man OF Cincinnati gave dinner party,
says the New York Sun. Around the
b ,ard were several New Workers who,
toward the end of the feast, told stories
out of their religious experiences.
''Up In Lawrence county" said grim
looking party, grizzly of hair, square of
jaw, and deliberate, as IL addressing
jury, there was once worthy elder OF
the church named Joe Parker. Joe was
a God-fearing man, good husband and
father, upright In his business as a
farmer, and q most respectable citizen
every way. One day he hitched his team,
loaded 1t with produce, and went TO
Potsdam. Night fell but Joe did not
come home. His family were greatly
alarmed. His son posted with all haste
to Potsdam, only to learn that his father
had sold his beans and potatoes and
started off homeward little before dusk.
Search proved unavaiing, but the
next afternoon up drove Joe's horse to
the gate, broken-winded and all OF
lather. His master slowly descended to
the ground+-a sorry spectacle-his
clothes torn his face badly bruised. part
of his front scalp missing. With un-
steady steps Joe found His room. Next
day the mi1ister andfhe othsr-elders Of
the church called UPON him.

God, we Yjsit>y6u to have some explao

NoRwALK, Conn, March 17.-Mme.
Sarah Bernhardt will have to walk over
the Norwalk pulpit to play Fedora" In
the Broadway theater in this city on
March 81. She is getting any quantity
OF advertising from straight-laced Nor
wich Congregational preachers, and
Manager Noxon, of the theater, wears q
three-ply smile all the time First Rev
DIR. Llellyn Pratt. of the fashionable
Broadway Congregational church, gave
the French artist sermon about two
weeks ago In which he said, though he
did not speak Bernhardt's name, that
she was no better than she should be,
and it was extraordinary that moral peo.
pie would run after such woman. AT
his Thursday evening meeting In the
ancient Congregational church on the
hill, the Rev. DIR. Leonard Woolsey
Bacon, who has frequently upheld the
old blue Sabbath laws of Connecticut,
gave Sarah's character a mild rebuke.
Nine. Bernhardt will have great
audience here, and the seats at her play
will be sold by auction. The boxes, 1t Is
thought, will fetch premium OF more
than 800 each, besides the price of them
which will be S25 to S35.

LONDON, March 17.-Gladstone re-

was leaving The Charing Cross railroad
station for Hastings when an immense
crowd gathered at the depot, cheering
itself hoarse. 1t broke down the barriers
and made a rush for the "Grand Old
Man." A number of the extra en-
thusiastic admirers scrambled to the
tops of the cars and yelled and cheered
until the train starting suddenly, threw
several upon the tracks and platform.
Two were so seriously injured that they
had to be taken to the hospital. Sew
eral others were badly cut and bruised.
Previous to the departure OF the train
the executive committee of the Radical
association presented an address to
Gladstone, but the turmoil in the depot
was--so greatthat Gladstone was unable
to say word in reply.

Upon his arrival at Hastings Gladstone

NEW ORLEANS, March fittings
have quieted down here now. The tele-
gram from Secretary Blaine was sent
direct to Gov. Nichols and referred by
him to Acknowledgement Rogers. The
encouragement is making an investiga-
tion into Saturdays proceedings. The
prison officials say that they recognized
some OF the persons on the inside of the
prison and their names are understood
to have been forwarded to the attorney
general. Some indictments may follow
as a formality, but SO great a number OF
people were concerned in the killing that
it will be impossible to ascertain them
all or get conviction in case they
should te arrested. The Italian consul
says a full report OF the proceedings has
been transmitted to the legation In Wash
ington and all further action will be
taken through the legation.
The district attorney has entered a
nolle PROSE- as to all the indictments
pending in section B OF the criminal
court against the Italians implicated In
the Hennessy assassination. This re-

and the Machesi boy.
Malta Warnings to Parkerson.
New ORLEANS, March 1.-THE Malta
warning to Parkerson, who led the citi-
zens' movement on Saturday, does not
make him feel uneasy, although
there may be some foundation
for it. To-day Judge Morris in
structed the grand jury to make a
rigid investigation into the occurrence OF
Saturday. The records in the registra-
tion Office in this city show that Antiono
Marchesini Is registered as voter. He
is one of the four Italians whom the
| consul claimed to be still a Cicilian sub
ject. There is no record of naturaliza-
tion of any of the other three.
