NO USE TO LOBBY"

Says the blonde youth. this morning:
Well! Well! So he hasn't forgotten that
the legislature sent him back home, q few
weeks ago. We hardly think that any
lobbying would have much effect on
the legislators: but we are not prepared
to admit that any legislature will refuse
to listen to the respectful appeals of
citizens in be half of good government and
against the ring.
Have the ring so soon forgotten the
effect of the efforts of these citizens two
years ago, when they knocked the ring
charter sky high?"
On that memorable occasion, the ring
lost every amendment they offered, except
those concurrred in by the citizens.
Then it was that the large patronage
Croyal "prerogatives') OF the king was
cut down by making so many appOintive
offices elective.
If lobbying is of no avail, why those
sudden trips to Austin? Why try to get
the ring amendments through the legiSla-
ture with lightning speed? Why this Sc
crecy?
What is the 5000 for? What section Of
the city charter authorizes this apprO-
priation? Is it to pay for trips" to Aus
tin, or is it to help fatten the DAILY
Distress for big printing bill?
If lobbying doesn't do any good, what
is the "silver tongued ex-senator William
from Seguin," doing at Austin?
Some people put their feet in their
mouths every time they open them.
How can any one tell in advance exact
ly what the legislature will do?
Has everything been fixed" over at
Austin? ANT"

rect understanding that we still
favor the election of railway commits
sioners by the people. Being ardent
friends of the commission we feel it
our duty to surrender our convictions
for the time, in the interest of the
commission bill and as the committee
on the part of the house refuses to
concur in the elective amendment
| offered by the senate and also rejects
all the compromises offered by the
majority of the senate committee, we
feel that patriotism calls for q sacri-
flee of individual conviction on the
part of those ON the committee and
in the senate favoring election and we
therefore join in the report of the con-
ference committee and recommend its
adoption as the best and only solu-
ton of the differences between the

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
GAINESVILLE, Sept. 21.-McConnellsville,
the county seat of Morgan county, was the
scene of a sensational suicide at noon to-
day. John E. Thomas, aged 81 years, cut
his throat with razor, purchased for that
purpose, and died this evening. A year
ago Mr.. Thomas retired from his farm and
purchased a residence fronting on the
public parade grounds, where for 20 years
the McConnellsville boys have indulged
in the national game unmolested.
Mr.. Thomas was not accustomed to the
noise attending an exciting game, and his
residence and property suffered considera-
bic damage from foul tips. The annoyance
led to an injunction which put a stop to
ball-playing. This aroused public indigna-
tiOn 10 such a pitch that life has been a
burden to him. He has been boy
cotted by old friends and hooted by
the young people. This morning he went
down street to get shaved and so intense has
the feeling become that the barber refused
TO accommodate him. He then purchased
razor, went home and cut his throat from
ear to ear severing his windpipe. He was
the wealthiest resident of the county.

The Firemen's Tournament to be held at
Atlantic City on September 20 and 80, and
October l and 2, promises to be one of the
most interesting events of its kind ever
held in this country. Invitations have
been sent to all the permanent fire COM

programme of events is a most elaborate
one, and includes everything that pertains
to the freman's art. Hose races, team
races, steamer trials, prize drills and other
fremen's contests, together with concerts,
torchlight procession, and grand parade.
Besides this, the arrangements for the en-
tertsinment of the visitors are very elab-
crate.
For the better accommodation of visitors
and contestants the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company will sell excursion tickets to At
lantic City from all principal stations on its
system at single fare for the round trip.
The tickets will be sold September 25 to

known to need comment.

ERIE, Sept. 2L-TSpecidL 1.-The City Coun-

eulogy upon the life of Hon. W. L. Scott,
who had been the tenth and fourteenth
Mayor OF Erie. The city buildings were Or
dered draped and, all city bodies requested
TO attend the funeral EX-President Cleve-
land, a close friend of Scott; Governor Pat
tison and number of distinguished railway
magnates have signiied their intention of
being present at the funeral.
There is great public interest expressed in
the will of the deceased millionaire, which
document is said to lie in the vaults of the
Second National bank 1t is known that
will-making was one of the principal labors
OF the latter years of the deceased, who
evidently believed he was liable to die at
any time. 1t is said that every Supreme
court decision on contested wills caused
him TO make changes in his last testament
as fast as they occurred. The most eminent
legal counsel in the county was often con-
suited upon the document, which is proba-
bly, very elaborate in disposing of his odd
S2u000O00. One peculiarity OF Mr.. Scott's be-
quests was that thev were never given to
any public library, or to the founding OF any
institution which would live after him; but,
on the contrary, he devoted his magnificent
gifts to cancelling church debts, endowing
orphan asylums, or assisting needy individ-
Uals.

encore everything. In the evening the
most notable selection was the "Infiam-
