He Got Hts Bride.

w. E. Buckley, shoe dealer of
Houston, Texas, was married last
evening at o'clock at st. Msry's
Catholic church, Rev. Father Smith
officiating, to Miss Lois V. Holloway,
of Weimsr. They arrived yesterday
afternoon with q small party of rels-
tives and stopped at the Maverick
hotel.
1t was somewhat in the nature of q
runaway match, though not runa-
way from parental authority. A
young fire. eating cotton buyer named
Butts, of Weimar, had sworn that
Buckley should not marry the girl.
He was very much in love with her
also. Acting on this vow, he loaded
on himself an arsenal and went to
Houston recently and said he would
kill Buckley on sight, but the latter
sought the protection of the law, had
a peace warrant served on his rival
and yesterdays wedding was the
sequel to the hitherto blOOdIess affair.

What the People Are Saying.

The Freie Presse publishes an ar.
ticle on "Street Sweeping" which in
some instances Is correct, with the
exception of the following paragraph:
while the cleaning of the principle
business streets and plazss is left 10
the care OF the street overseers, the
prOverb: Everybody sweep in iron {
| of his door" would be we'll applied to
those streets In the residence portion.
The sweeping should be done at least
twice week. Itwould be something
strange II we could not then have
c!esn streets"
Well spoken, Mr.. Hanschke, by this
it is plain to be seen that you belong
to the Callsghan ring, or the clique.
and you consider only those citizens
taxpayers who give their money and
are willing to pay for the sweeping
and keeping clean of the streets
In front of other peoples doors
so no foul doors, when Mr..
Hansehke and his sort go to the
different saloons in the morning to
get their lunch, may strike their
nostrils. Besides, the small taxpayer
has no right to "kick." whatever, ac-
cording to Mr.. Hanschke's idea, if he
Is forced by the whip 10 take
hold of the broom and go to work
for the city administration. Should
this ordinance ever be enforced then
the city tax should he reduced good
deal, and every property owner, with
out exception, even those who own
on the plaZas, Commerce |
and other streets, be compelled to |
handle the broom.
Just why Mr.. Hanschke takes up |
this question is hard to understand,
for this same man was not able to |
sweep in front of his own. door and
the city authorities had to donate $50
toward the cleaning of King William
street. Of course it is much easier to
have other people pay your own neg.
|igenee and afterward "kick" at these
same people and tell them what ought
10 be done. TAXPAYER.

The Republicans DON'T Want Hin

The Republicans DON'T Want HIM
From the s. A. Chroncle)
Mayor Callaghan in one place in
the Express denies that he Joined
with the Republicans, and in another
says that he did so in order to pre-.
serve the party. iii. Is necessary TO
save the Democratic party to join
with the r publIcans it is better to
admit that in Texas, which has a de.
mocFafic msiOrity of over $50. 90, that
there is no Democracy. In fact, The
Chronicle will admit on behalf OF Mr..
Callaghan that he has no Democracy
thatit is necessary to preserve and
that the Democratic can spare him to
its advantage ana let him go where
he belongs, 10 the Repu blicans with
whom he Away acted. II is not ne
cessary 70 save the Democratic party
by turning it over to the Repu bill
cans. 1t does not need that kind of
salvation. Callaghan needs salvation
and he should seek it where he al
ways wanted it-in the Repu biican
party.

From The 5. a. Chronicle.
Somebody has been making mon.
key again out of Marshal Fricke
having him and his deputies sent on
q wild goose chase over the lower
Rio Grande border after Catariua
Cara. The fact of the matter is that
CARA is not in the United States of
America and has not been since the
10th day OF March, when he came up
here with the desire of surrendering
but his father in law failed TO secure
Garza's desired terms of capitulstiOn.
Then was the time for Fricke to have
nabbed him.

The Michigan Town Nearly Wiped
Ont Of Existence by a De-
structive Fire.
The Fire Started in a Lumber Yard
and ; wept Through the City
With Great Rapidity.
Over 800 Dwellings and Many Bust
ness Houses Totally De-
strOyed.

BAY CRY, Mich, July 25.-The great
est confiagration that ever visited Ba,
City broke out at . o'clock this Afternoon
in the lumber manufacturing establish
ment of Miller & Turner, situated on the
west side of Water street, at the foot Of
Twenty-ninth street. A brisk vino
famed the flames into a roaring con.
migration and swept them across Water
street into the settled district. The east
side OF Water street where the fire
crossed was built up with stores, hotels
and restaurants. Nearly all the buildings
were wood and burned like finder. The
wind increased as the flames progressed
and in an hour the fire had con.
sumed Miller a. Turner's entire plant,
comprising a saw mill, salt blocks, dry
kilns and a large quantity of lumber.
The flames had almost Travelled three
three blocks to the eastward, cutting a
swath two blocks wide. AT this point
the path of the coniagration broadeped
and block after block was swept over
with astonishing rapidity.
About D o'clock fully thirty blocks had
been burned over while twenty more
were supplying fuel to the devouring
element.
When the chief the fire department
first realized the extent of the danger he
telegraphed to Saginaw, Flint and De-
troit for assistance. Saginaw and Flint
responded, each sending an engine and n
quantity of hose. Nearly all of West Bay
City's equippage came to the scene.
But with hundreds of streams playing
on the fire, the flames pursued their
course, licking up house after house un-
TIL at 3 o'clock upward of 300 dwellings
had been destroyed and the conflagra-
ton was still sweeping toward the east
ern limits. While the majority of build
ings burned belonged to working people.
many tine residences have been con
sumed. Two churches, four hotels and
about forty stores of all varieties are in
among the burned structures.
At m.-many rumors were afioat
concerning people who have persisted.
So far as is positively known, only one
death has occurred, that of a woman
who lay sick in one of the houses de-
stroyed. Before assistance could reach
her the dwelling was a seething mass of
fire. 1t is reported also that two children
were burned to death but the story
lacks confirmation. Miller a. Turner, on
whose premises the fire started. lost
about $4,000; mostly covered by insur-
ance. The total loss will reach. and may
exceed a million dollars.

\ Frightful Explosion,

PoTTsvILLE. July ga Frightful ex-
plosion occurred on the York Farm col
liery about 1:l1 today by which eight
men are known to have been killed out
right and it is believed three more have
also suffered the same fate. At this
writing the known killed are as follows:
John Harrison. of Pottsville. fire boss.
leaves a wife and three of four children:
Thomas Jones, Minersville. carpenter.
married: Harry Jones, son of Thomas,
single: VIM. Wehman, New Castle street,
Minersville; James Hartzel, Llewellyn.
There are believed to be three more
among the killed: George Bright, single,
boards in Pottsville; Herman Werner, st.
Clair, wife n seven or eight children:
Anthony Gutohlavag. Polander, widower.
The injured are as follows: Henry
Madara. NJ. Il. Hope, perhaps fatally

Pottsville; Geo. Stack. Yorkville, %
years of age, married, leg broken and
burned; Anthony Stack. a boy, leg
broken and burned. since died; Edward
Curran. Pottsville.
The explosion, it is believe, was caused
by the strong feeder being broken into
and its force penetrated a safety lamp
and ignited the gas. The explosion was
terrific and completely closed the gang
wav with several cars which were on the
track. Several more men are thought
to be closed in.
