took place Yesterday eight miles above
Waco on the fiat farm, between Joe Cor,
man and John Simms, with E.G. Simms,

assistance with a revolver. John Simms

shot cartridges. The quarrel originated
about farm and stock matters. The men
resided close together, being tenants on
a farm. They fought in this city last
Saturday. fist and skull, and were fined

Cost OF the .'CongressIonaI Record"
WASHINGTON, Dec. I0.-The Con-
greSsional Record for the ffty-secoud con-
gross will make its appearance today.
Some interesting facts are connected with
this official gazetteer of the proceedings of
congress. Altogether the publication
makes more type-setting and press work
than a half dozen ordinary papers in the
United States. 1t sometimes has from
100 to lbs pages of solid matter, which
would make an octave book of from 40O
to 500 pages. 1t requires an enormous
amount of type to get out the record. A
new dress is procured at about the begin
Mig of every other congress-eyerY tour
years. and sometimes every two years.
A new dress means over 100 tons of type
many times more than there IL IN a
dozen OF the largest printing offices, in
GLIDING type Of all grades. The Record
uses but three kinds of type-long
primer, nonpareil and BREWER. The body
of the Record is set up in brewer, bold
face. solid. Extracts are set in nonpareil.
Some announcements and a little of other
matter is put in long primer. The bulk
of newspaper matter in the daily press is
in nonpareil or minion, so that the Record
has ner body matter in a little larger type
than the newspapers use on an average.
1t is printed on good, heavy paper.
About $4,000 copies are published.
| Each member of the house gets about
twenty-seveu and each senator about forty
copies daily. These they have mailed
regularly from the government printing
office to those they wish TO have them.
Some OF them are preserved and bound al
| the end of the session, all free of cost. A
new dress OF type for the Record COST
in round figures S73, 900. 1t costs proha.
bly, SO, 900 to 5000 to give a first class
daily newspaper a new dress. The type
came from the foundry in Chicago and
filled 1888 boxes. averaging a weight of
l15 pounds. BY purchasing in such
large quantities prices are made very low.
The noupariel cost, in round figures. 43
cents; the BREWER 36 cents, and the long
primer 81 cents a pound net. This is a
considerable reduction from the custo-
mary prices. The old type is sold at the
best prices the Public printer can get. 1t
is usually about hall worn when sold, and
ordinarily commands about 5 cents a
pound more than the metal Is worth.
Many newspapers III the country have
been given a new dress from the old
dresses of the Congressional Record. a
2-year-old dress of the Record is ordi-
narily not worn more than that used for
twelve monts in a country office, as there
is so much in use here, and then every
thing is sterotyped.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-One of the

PARIS, Dec. 10. Senator SAINT Hilaire,
ex-miuister OF ioreign affairs, said to an
Associated Press correspondent today hat
he is distinctly opposed to the attempt to
draw France and Russia into an alliance.
He can discover no common bonds OF
union between the most enlightened peo-
pie of Europe and a country almost east
ern in its barbarity. The prevalent idea
in France is that this alliance will enable
her to regain the lost provinces. She
will help Russia lay hands on
Constautinople. But while Russia will
not fail to seize every opportunity in
creasing her empire, she should not I'M
broil herself with Europe IN order TO
please France and. when satisfied, would
repudiate any claims the latter power
might have on her. In his opinion the
most natural and profitable alliance for
France would be one with England.

the ball passing through both hips. Mrs.
Richardson hurried to the room and was
shot directly through the forehead, dying
instantly. The murderer then mounted

Secretary Foster today transmitted tC
the speaker of the house for the informa
ton of congress estimates of appropria
tons required for the fiscal year 1893 AZ
furnished by the heads of the several ex-
ecutlve departments. Some OF the details
are of interest. The estimate for the
army and navy is $I47. 064, $50. which is
a decrease of Sc, 74s, 5S3 from the amount
appropriated on account of pensions for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1892,
which includes a deficiency appropriation

thing over S., 900, 900 less than the pres
ent Appropriation.
