They will partake of splendid tur-
key, sent 10y an admiring Long Island
farmer. Already enough toys and
gifts to stock store have poured in
for Baby Ruth. There are enough
dolls alone for dozed children, while
jumping.ja jacks, Jacks-in-theb box baby
carriages and other playthings are al
most too numerous to count. The
receipt of presents for Ruth kept
Butler William Sinclair nearly all

her visit TO her mother in Buffalo
Wednesday or Thursday next. Dur

will make preparations for emovihg
to Lakewood for The winter 1t is
said by an intimate friend of Mr..
Cleveland that he will probably go to
his Lakewood cottage before Jan. 10.
Mrs. Cleveland will join him there on
or about that date. The cottage is
almost ready for the reception. The
Clevelands will remain at the "Little
White House" until they go to
Washington in March.

TERRIBLE FAMINE SUFFERERS.

TERRIBLE FAMINE SUFFERERS.
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 23.-Count
Robeinski, marshal of the court, has
issued an appeal for aid for famine
sufferers in tho province of Tula.
There are said to be $4,000 persons in
the province dependent upon outside
assistance. Government relief is not
sufficient to prevent the utter ruin of
the inhabitants. Crops were an utter
failure aud the condition of the farm
ers is even worse than in 1891. The
rich have become richer and the poor
have become inter beggars. Peas
ants use the roofs of their houses for
fuel on account of a dearth of straw,
coal and waod. Typus fever is raging
to an alarming extent. Fever suffer
ers lie huddled together in roofless
huts without attendance and without
food.

To Prevent the Westinghouse Company
Manufacturing Incandescent Lamps.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Dec. 24.-The Edi-
son Electric company filed bill in
the United States circuit court today
asking for an injunction to restrain
the Westinghouse company from
manufacturing and selling incandes-
cent lamps on which the Edison COM
pany claims patent, The present
suit does not involve the new lamps

lamp which the Sawyer Manufactur.
ing company and the United States
Electric company were eDjoined from
making by a decree in the United
States circuit court and which de-

the manufacture of these lamps has
merely been transferred from the
shops OF companies restrained to that
of the Westinghouse company, which
company controls the others. The

Captured and Have Not Been Heard
From Since.
Special to The Statesman.

Special to The Statesman.
LAREDO, Tex, Dec. 24.-Day before
yesterday Deputy United States Mar
sh al E. F. Hall, who is in charge of
the federal civil authorities in and
near San Ignacio, learned that Parci-
ano Palacio, an officer of the
revolutionary band who recently at
tackled the Mexican troops opposite
that point, was at ranch near by
and was 81 Chilly wounded. He sent
a posse and arrested him, and yesl err
day sent United States Deputies b.
sendo, Guerra and Marcial Bena-
vides with the prisoner to Laredo.
The deputies started with their pris-
oner, and arriving at the ranch Of A.
BrIni, prominent citizen of
Laredo, purchased meat there
They thencame on towards La.
redo, and when a few miles this
side of the ranch stopped
where a cartman was cooking his
dinner and began preparation for
their midday meal. While there a
body of revOlutionists, ten or twelve
strong, came upon them, released Pa
lacio, took the deputies prisoners and
left over the same trail they came.
The revolutionists were seen when
they passed Bruni's ranch, and in
about TWO hours they returned with
the two deputy United States mar
shals as prisoners. The lat
ter had been disarmed and their
horses were being led by the
revolutionists who stopped near there
and Palacio, whom the deputies had
had in charge, changed the animal he
was riding for one of the horses on
the ranch: Whether the horse was
given him through sympathy of the
movement or through fear is not
known. The people on the ranch
then notified Deputy Hall at San Ig-
nacio and afterwards he was informed
that the revolutionists had threatened
to capture him.
The news was first received here
this morning through Colonel Ceron,
commander of the Mexican forces in
New Laredo, a telegram from Guer-
rerro, having apprised him of the
facts.
Today deputy United States mar
sbal came into the city with letter
from Deputy Hall confirming the re-
port sent in by the Mexican
authorities. 1t seems that the
United States troops and Deputy
marshals are not working together and
if they do not do so hereafter the lat
ter are liable to be worsted at the
hands of the revolutionists.
Considerable uneasiness is ex-
pressed in this city for the safety of
the deputy marshals, as everybody
recognizes the danger they ar. in at
the hands of the revolutionists,
whose barbarous records at San Igna-
clio Is still the theme of conversation.
Everything in the power of the
authorities, both civil and military,
will be done to rescue the imprisoned
officers. Chief Deputy Marshal Ygle-
sias of this city and Captain Mckay,
commander OF Fort Mcintosh, have
communicated with United States
Marshal Fricke and General Wheaton
at San Antonio.

Banker Indicted.

Ell RENO, L. T., Dec. 21.-Five in
dictments have been returned by the
grand jury now in session here
against w. II. Sawyer, few months
ago at the head of the leading bank
ing institution of this city, which he
declared had been robbed OF $40, 00O
by the Dalton gang, thus causing its
failue. II was generally believed at
the time that no robbery had been
committed except by Sawyer, and the
report of the committee appointed by
the depositors and the investigation
and action of the grand jury have con.
firmed that belief.

CHRISTMAS EVE.
How the Day and Night We're Spent in
the Capital City.

the capital City.
All day long yesterday ceaseless
throng of people paced the streets of
Austin eagerly intent on making their
Christmas purchases. Every window
with its snowy and attractive contents
was intently scanned with the result
ant smile of pleasure or sigh of envi-
Gus regret and sadness as the case
might be. 1t was truly a sad and
pitiful sight to see some of the pinch
ed and careworn faces and the long,
ing looks they bore as mingling with
the procession they were carried back
and forth, up and down the Avenue.
All the stores were crowded, and as
the golden shekels poured in the
smile on the faces of the proprietors
grew broader and broader.
| And last night what SUD-
pressed excitement and joyous antici.
patton filed the halls OF those
homes where the merry prattlipg of
innocent childhood is want to be
| heard. With what faith they hung
up the tiny stocking or borrowed the
bigger one of mamma or sister, their
Chi dish hearts confident that old
santa Claus with his jingliug bells
and fleet RENDERS would make his
annual call before the first rays of the
rising sun would pierce the eastern
heavens and rouse them from their
gentle slUmbers.
On the streets last night it was I'M
usually quiet considering the fact that
it was Christmas Eve. Fireworks
were rather scare and tho rattle of
firecrackers interspersed with the &C.
casional boom of cannon cracker for
variety, was not near so loud or con-
tinuous an in former years. The best
! of order prevailed and few drunken
men were seen on the streets.

STUART SEMINARY.
The Institution to be Enlarged and Its Fa-
cilities for Learning Increased,

Inc Institution to be Enlarged and Its Fa-
cilities for Learning Increased.
The following from the Texas Pres.
oyterlan will prove of interest to the
members of that church in Texas:
IA few weeks since we recorded the
generous donation of Mr.. j. N. Chad
wick to Austin college, and his more
recent gift to the cause of missions.
We now have occasion to call atten-
ton to like noble act coming from
another source. By the LIST of jan
uary the property known as Stuart
seminary, located in Austin, will have
been transferred from its present own
ership into the hands of the board of
trustees. According to the deed of
conveyance the school will be perma-
nently secured to the cause of Presbv-
terianism in Texas.
Stuart seminary is the Oldest jnsti-
tuition OF learning now existing, with
but one exception, in the state of
Texas. 1t was founded by DR.. J. w.
Miller in 1852, who came to Texas as q
missionary of the board of foreign
missions.
DR.. Miller was for time pastor of
the First church, Houston, and on
moving to Washington county he saw
the necessity of having school where
Texas girls might receive a finished
education. Calling to his aid Miss
Rebecca Stuart afterwards Mrs, Red1
as principal, they labored to-.
gether in building up large school
which drew its patronage from ali OF
Texas. The war seriously interfered
with Its prosperity, but after the close
the school revived and soon attained
a good degree of success.
A change in the routes of travel and
centers OF influence indicated the adj
Instability of moving to a more central
location. Consequently DR.. q. G. Red
purchased favorable site i'm the civ
of Austin and erected the nresent
seminary building, where his wife
might continue her chosen life WORK
which had been 50 signally blessed
There for twelve years Mrs. Red con.
tlnued TO mould the lives of the many
girls who came under her influence
upon her decease the responsibility
fell upon the shoulders of her fonr
children, who continued to condnct
the school with good degree of suc.

A FRENCH DUEL.
DEPUTIEs CLEMENCEAU AND DIR RON
LEDE EXCHANGE SHOTS
Bullets Flew About So Recklsssly That
Spectators Fad to Get OFF the Perch.
After the Fiasco the Duelists
Were Satisfied.

PARIS, Dec. 22.-As the outcome of
Tuesdays debate in the chamber of
deputies, M. De Roulede and M.
Clemenceau fought duel today.
Neither was hurt. Pistols were used.
three shots each, distance % yards.
Just before the time for the duel
DE Roulede kept an eye on the load
ing Of the pistols, while Clemenceau
walked about in the paddock waiting
for the word. The pistols having been
loaded in the manner satisfac-
tory to them, they faced
each other without apparent
m otlon and received the weapons
from their seconds hands. At the
wo1u 'nre" the pistols were dis
charged almost simultaneously. The
Dullets went wide of their mark and
the spectators climbed hastily down
from the paddock fence on which
they had been perched. The seconds
moved little further off and the com.
batants again elevated their weapons
ana blazed away. This time it was
evident the shots had gone high.
Neither hurt. Clemenceau cody
raised his weapon again. A friend~
rushed forward and expressed the
hope that the combatants would con-
slider their honor satisfied and cease
the murderous encounter. Again the
pistols were raised and two puffs of
smoke told that two bullets had gone
forth. No harm done, although
DeRoulede examined the corner of his
coat with apparent apprehension but
was relieved on discovering it undam-
aged. The seconds then ran up and
insisted that the fight terminate; that
both had behaved in most heroic
manner, and that outrage upon honor
had been fully vindicated. Clemen.
ceau and DeRoulede consented to ao.
cept the decision and the duel came
TO a close. The two duelists were
overwhelmed with congratulations on
the courage and GOODNESS they had
exhibited on the trying occasion and
were escorted back by crowds of ad-
mirers. The incident is believed to
nave terminated for the present.

FOUND AFTER TWO WEEKS.
The Decomposed Body of Workman Found
in the Mud at the Dam.

in the Mud at the Dam.
Yesterday afternoon about o'clock
while excay ating for the power house
at the dam Mr.. Waterston's men were
Mortified to find the feet and legs of a
man sticking out of the mud. 1t will
be remembered by those who visited
the dam before the recent hard rain
that there WAS circular hole
about ten feet deeper than
the rest of the excavation right
at the toe of the dam and against
what will be the east wall Of the pow or
house. The body was buried in the
west side of this hole, the only thing
visible being the feet and legs.
AS soon as the find was made Judge
Johnson was notified and accompanied
by constable Davis, he repaired to the
scene. Slowly the body was loosened
and then drawn from its resting place
by means of the big derrick on the
bank and rope tied around his feet.
The body was terribly decomposed
and gave every evidence of
having lain there for a number of
days. 1t was identified as that of
Richard fairfield, who has been at
work on the dam. The last seen of
him alive was two weeks ago today,
when he borrowed So and slicker
from his landlady and then disap-
peared. The supposition is that he
imbibed too freely and in his drunken
blindness wandered off the bluff and
took dive into the mud bank, the
water running into the hole prevent
ing the discovery of his remains until
yesterday.
