YOakum'S Removal.

The publication of the order of Judge
King removing Mr.. Yoakum as one of the
receivers of the Arkansas Pass railway,
looks like a last years birds nest: be-
cause the receiVerShip was supposed to
have closed on June 18th last, and Mr.
1Oakum has not acted as receiver since
that date. From the Judges order it ap-
pears that Mr.. YOakum was removed at
this late day because of the terrific dis
closures brought out by the investigation.
and not because he had a contract TO haul
stone for the Galveston jetty,-a contract
that 1t was proven would have Welded a
net profit of 100000 to the road. 1t also
seems that the Judge, according to wit
neSses before Judge Fleming, only wanted
an opportunity TO remove the obnoxious
receiver, but did not avail himself of it
until this late daY.
Although the receivership closed EJune
18th, yet there has remained and still re-
mains one receiver, Mcnamara, at a sal
airy Of $4,000 year; the master-in chan
Gerry, Judge Fleming, at a salary Of s., SOC
year; and his clerk, DIR. King, at sal
airy OF 500 year, all the friends OF
Judge King. No wonder that they hold
on like grim death to the receivership
business.

ECHOES FROM WEST END.

Since the brilliant wedding Of Mr.. FitZ-
Gerald to one of the handsome and ac-
compliSL ed daughters of Judge and Mrs.
Florea on the Goth instant, no other high
social event occurred in our lovely suburb.
| am sure the LIGHT started the young
married couple off with its best wishes for
long and happy married life.
QThe deputy SheritfS summoned some of
our people as witnesses in civil cases
during the early part of the week, but
that is of little moment to disinterested
parties. il is only mentioned because of
perfect dearth of news items here, for in
common with the whole state we are feel
ing the Hogg blight. We may have in
our midst some tattle-taling gOSSips that
might occasionally furnish poor news
gatherer with an item or two, but we
doubt the value us such information and
will wait for better things after Nov. sth,
when it is TO be hoped Texas will be
turned loose.

q candidate for land commissioner OF

will ever have. He IL q young man,

of Mississippi, having resided In this
city for the past two years.
He leaves a wife to mourn his loss
