The Childress Case.

Noonan this morning and the entire
morning was taken up in hearing the
the proof as to the affidavit for change of
venue. Mr.. Draper, father of the muir
dered man, was first placed on the stand
and gave testimony as to the fairness of
the citizens of San Antonio in trying
Childress. Next were called Major Fry,
}. J. Dickinson, j. c. Kelley, Geo. Wood
these signed the affidavit for change of
venue, though many acknowledged they
did not know the full import of the paper
they had signed and many did not even
read it. All were put through severe
examination by the attorneys on both
sides and the testimony was exceedingly
interesting at times.

A Novel Divorce Suit.

In Judge Noonan's court an interesting
divorce suit has been filed by Nelson b.
SweiJzer, Jr., son of Gen. N. 3. Sweitzer,
against Helen McGregor Sweitzer The
petition alleges that defendant lives in
Fort Bowie, Arizona. Plaintiff and de-
PENDANT were married by minister in
Washington Territory, he under 81 and
she under IS years. That under the laws
of the territory neither were of
marriageable age and the marriage
is therefore void, and neither

taking, when they entered into the mar
riage contract. That defendant left
plaintiff Immediately after the ceremony,
and they have not since lived together.

TO TEST THE PUMPS.
Experts Appointed to Determine What the
Dallas Waterworks Can Do-A Re-
ception to Bishop Brennan.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
THE wATERwoRKS.
DALLAS, Ten, Sept S-SOme time ago at
citizens mass meeting held here to dis
cuSs the waterworks question, resolution
was adopted asking that the city council
appoint three expert hydraulic engineers to
make complete test of the waterworks'
pumps, thereby to determine if they were
run to their capacity. The council accepted
the import of the resolution, and to-day
Mcssrs. Parry of Chicago. Cobb of Dallas
anu BaSsett of Weatherford were employed
and now have charge of the works for y
period of ten or fifteen days. Their work
will be TO determine whether the works are
capable Of better supplying the city with
water than IS now being done. There is a
strong impression here that for some reason
the waterworks pumps have not been run
so as TO give the supply of which they are
capable. The work of the expert engineers
Will settle the matter and probably vindi-
cate the present water commissioner of all
blame of past water shortage. The works
IN their present shape are not equal to the
demands Of the city, is the belief of ma
jOrity of Dallasites, and all are anxious for
the result of the test to be made known.
BISHOP BRENNAN's RETURN.
Bishop Brennan will return TO Dallas this
weeks and the Catholic ladies and gentle
men of the city have decided TO tender him
on Saturday evening next. at the Episcopal
residence North Ervay street, formal but

regard for the chief pastor of the diocese.

ception committees were appointed:

doubt upon that point. 1t would be fat
money of more worthless kind than any
which has hitherto been issued. 1t would
be more worthless than the land bank
money of Rhode Island. because that was
based upon the land of the state. 1t would
he more worthless than that Of John Laws
bank in France, for that was based upon
all the property of France. 1t would be
more worthless than that of the Argentine
Republic, for that was based upon all the
landed property Of the nation. In all these
Instances the fat money was declared to be
a legal tender, and to be payable for public
and private debts. In all of them it was
issued for term of years. But this ware
house-deposit money is based upon nothing
except the arbitrary judgments of an ire
sponsible body of political appointees as to
the value of products a year hence, and is
to be destroyed al the end of year. No
body would ever consent to take ii at its
face value in payment OF a debt. or in pay
ment for goods, and it would be confined,
as the Rhode Island paper money was, al
most entirely TO transactions among its
original holders. 1t would enormously in
fate prices in the communities in
which it circulated, and thus make
dearer everything that the farmer had
to buy. But it would never be received else
where except at a discount, and conse-
qu5ntly would have no effect in raising the
price of the products of the farmer, which
have to be sold in the markets of the world.
Then, too, each period of enormous infla-
ton would be followed by period of sud
den and almost paralying contraction, for
at the end of each year all the notes and
certificates must be destroyed.
We have said nothing about the uncon-
stitutlonal aspect of the proposition for the
government to go into the business of loan
ing money and specializing in crops-a form
of patcrnalism the most extreme ever pro-
posed in this country. One of the advo-
Gates of the measure. when asked at a hear
ing before a congressional committee why
its authors had not included wool,
hops, rice and cheese with the other pro-
duce specified for deposit. made answer
that those staples were protected by high
tariff. 10 per cent on wool alone, and were
not entitled to further aid from the gov
eminent Whatever virtues may reside in
the protective system, it is unfortunately
true that TO the arguments advanced in de-
Tense of high tariff we owe the impress
sion, SO strong among navy portions of the
population, that it is tAeauty of the gov
ernment to render aSstance to all indus
tries and occtaaS66s whose members are
in distress.

''what is it, who was brought to the Me

Using scheme. Drs. Blethyany. J. Blake
White, J. L. Merrill and Il. d. Buck were
called in to examine Lalloo late yesterday
afternoon in the presence of reporters. Up
TO that time the mystery had been carefully

''what is it, was brought out it turned out
to be mass of deformed flesh and bone
growing out of the body of Hindoo boy.
1t has no head and no Independent life of
its own. 1t is simply a distorted fungus
growth which has chung TO the boy since
his birth. II is disgusting sight. All the
doctors present at the examination say the
growth can be easily amputated Without
danger to the boy. It is cruelty not to do
so, but the boy is not likely TO be relieved of
his burden while he is in the hands of his
present managers.

American Negroes In Liberia Carrying
Things With High Hand.

New York, Sept. 5-George B. Parks, a
mulatto belonging in Atlanta, Ga. with
his family, consisting of his wife and seven
children. arrived here to-day on the steam
ship Sorrento. He is an intelligent man,
a carpenter by trade, and tells an interest
ing story of the condition of affairs in Ii
IBERIA, Africa. On the 22ud of last May
lured by the promises Of the society for the
protection of colonists in Liberia, he sailed
with MS family to that place. On landing
at Moravia, he found the country in the
most debauched condition. The American
negroes who had already emigrated there,
had assumed the most tyrannical rule over
the natives. No part of the ground was
under cultivation. Parks had been a slave
in the South, bus he says the condition of
slavery in Liberia is worse than in Georgia
before the war. Children there offer them
selves for sale. Parks, because he would
not deal in human flesh, was ostracised by
the negroes from America. After spending
twenty-one days there he sailed to Ham
burg and then to this port. 1t cost him
$3.50 to bring his family back to America
When he left Georgia he had Sl25N He
now has $50, which he says willpay his
way back TO Atlanta. ~
