Special to the Gazette
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The house of rep
resentatives, usually boisterous body full
OF din and confusion, grew hushed and still
being enacted when J. w. Bailey, the gifted
young Texas congressman, rose to speak for
the first time, this afternoon. He only
had ten minutes time, but in that limited
interval he surprised and deliGhted that en-
tire assembly. His voice, strong and sono-
rous, filled the chamber fully, and every
word was audible even to the occupants
the least tremor, the slightest
manifestation of nervousness or any
semblance of hesitation. He spoke as
freely as though on the campaign stump to
a Cooke county audience, and how well he
spoke was shown by the thunderous ap-
plause that greeted his eloquent periods
Even Republicans joined in the cheers.
II was distinct triumph, and all hands
agree that as a maiden effort it
was the finest heard in that hall for 10,
these many years. The discussion was over
the rules and Bailey rose TO oppose a rule
which provides that during or pending the
consideration of report Of the committee
on rules, the speaker shall entertain no
dilatory motion except single motion to
adjourn. He took the broad ground that
sucn rule constituted q majority of the
committee u legislative triumvirate and de-
clared he was forever against seeing 1872
representatives lay down their commission
at the feet of any three men on earth.
The argument must have been on a par
with the oratOry, for when the speaker fin
ished Silver-Tongued Breckenridge of Ken
lucky and dozens of others nearly as prom
inent hurried to the Texans desk to con-
graduate him. Breckenridge soon after
made speech himself on the same lines,
though he failed to secure the
rapt attention of his youthful
predecessor. Bailey's forcible opposition
was enough to call halt in TIE programme,
and-a caucus will likely be held to deter
mine on the advisability of modifying the
nrOnnSed rule

silver Caucus.

The decree of king caucus will be in
voked on the silver question in the Demo-
cratic party. This was decided upon to-
day, and singularly enough the opponents
of free coinage are the ones who have
taken the initiative in demanding the party
caucus. Harter of Ohio circulated among
the Democratic members of the house to-
day call for caucus, and had no diff
Guilty in getting the requisite number of
signatures, and on presentation of the pa
per to Holman that gentleman stated he
would at once issue formal call.

parading of gross ignorance naturally pro-
vokes. Hill is no more responsible for
New York going for Harrison than any
other Democrat who was elected, and the
whole state ticket was elected. There are
enough Democrats ia New York TO carry
that state Democratic. But for full vote

kind must be placed on the ticket For
this reason Hill has always carried New
York. He temporizes with nothing that IS
mugwumpian; he compromises with moth

cratic. He has ever fought with vigor any

Fulton for Governor.
Special to the Gazette.

GALVESTON, Tex, Jan. 29-Quite an in
geniously written article will make its ap-
pearance in weekly publication here to-
morrow which very adroitly brings
Hon. r. L. Fulton, mayor of this
city, to the front as possible
candidate for governor before the next
Democratic state convention. His candi-
dacy, however, is predicated on
certain contingencies. The article does
not question Governor Hogg's personal
integrity but does his political honesty. If
he has been true to the interests Of the
party and especially that element
of it that forced the nomination
in 1890, ncit holds that he is
entitled to a denomination and election. But
this the article claims the governor has not
been, but that he has turned his face
against this element

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 29.-Near Pine
vile, KY, Bob Jones and Lee Davis, two
prominent members of the Parton faction,
were killed Wednesday evening by Berry
Turner, an outlaw, and his men It is said
the men were waylaid. Jones and Davis,
the two murdered men, are known as
avowed enemies of Berry Turner. They
assisted in his capture about year and q
half ago, when he was lodged in Jail here.
Since Turner made his escape these TWO
men have been endeavoring to effect his
capture They had gone so far as to offer
a reward of $3.50 for Turner's apprehension,
and the outlaw has doubtless been waiting
an opportunity for revenge.

this evening from his work. There, upon

blood, in the cold embrace of death, with
pistol shot in her right ear, and the deadly
weapon still in her hand. The deceased
was at home alone, save the presence OF
her six months babe, when she committed
the rash act. No reason is assigned for II,
except that she was temporarily insane, and
it is said she has attempted twice before to
end her existence. The pistol with which
she committed the deed was secured from

from home. The deceased was about thirty
years of age and was good looking ana OF

BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR LITTLE SISTER

Tomorrow WILDE the greatest day in the
history of the borough of Sharpsburg, and
if old Prob only allows fair weather it will
be day to be proudly remembered by every
inhabitant Her business men have been
actively at work for weeks past ar
ranging for the celebration of the fftieth
anniversary of her corporate existence, and
although tomorrow is the day, they have
arranged to spread the jollifcation over two
days for fear there might be too much fun
for one day. The enthusiasm over the event
is general Every man, woman and child in
the town has imbibed the patriotic spirit
and desires to make the celebration memor-
able event, and the Sharpsburger who fails
to contribute or take some part in this great
affair will run the risk of being pointed out
for the next decade as the man who wasn't
in it.
This evening the festival will begin with
citizens mass meeting in the Presbyterian
Church. Judge Collier, one of the Oldest
citizens in the town, will preside, and
speeches will be made by Judge Over a
former resident, and NJ essrs. j. ID. Shafer,
W. P. Potter, 7. j. Ford and r. J. Malone,
the borough's representatives at the county
bar An interesting musical programme
goes with the speeches.
Everybody Will Turn Out on Saturday.
The great event in which all are most in
terested, however, is the parade tomorrow.

LEADERS CoNFERRINa

Tho Brotherhood Trying to Convince tho
Amalgamated Omcials They Should Not
Organize the Pittsburg District-It Will
Not Accomplish Its Purpose.
The leaders of both the Amalgamated and
Brotherhood of Carpenters are now confer
ring in New York. They are considering
the advisability of letting the Amalgamated
branch have its own way in the Pittsburg
district. A carpenter, in speaking OF 1t yes
terdav, said:
''Ihe heads of the Amalgamated car
penters do not know the real situation in
Pittsburg. The Brotherhood leaders asked
for conference with them and are trying
to show that the Amalgamated is an un-
necessary union. do not think they can
do this. The Amalgamated has sent man
to New York, who thoroughly understands
the situation and he will lay the matter be-
fore his superiors in the true light.
'The Brotherhood is making the claim
that they own the territory. This is only
bluff. 1t is not incorporated under
State charter. Its leaders say there Is no
need for another branch of carpenters IN
Pittsburg. They argue the Brotherhood
would lose many members by it. The rea-
son they are SO much afraid of it is because
the Brotherhood wants to call another
strike this spring, and it would make nphill
work for them if they had to fight the
Amalgamated at the same time
1.-THE conference will probably be con-
cluded to-day, and there is no chance of the
Brotherhood winning its point. The Anal
gamated carpenters are ready to get down
to work at once They have already gotten
an agreement with the Builders Exchange,
giving them great advantages over the
Brotherhood. In case of strike, they will
stand by the Exchange"
