PARIS, TEX, March 12.-Several months
ago, as was reported in TIE GAZETTE, the
county commissioners, upon petition of
James l. Jones, removed T. NJ Turner from
the Office of public weigher on the ground
contract with warehouses to weigh
on a fixed salary, allowing the
warehouses to collect the legal charges of
10 cents per bale, the motive of Mr.. Jones
in making the complaint being that Turner
and his deputy had by this arrangement
captured the two leading ware
houses and left Jones, also 4
public weigher, with. only a small
place. After Turner was removed Jones
endeavored to secure the weighing at these
two houses, but they preferred retaining
Turner and his deputy as private weighers
and requiring all bringing cotton to the
warehouse to make formal request on the
private weigher to weigh
Yesterday Mr.. James I. Jones filed suit
against Martin, Wise & FitZhugh and Z.
w. Johnson, buyers and against the Lamar
warehouse company for sos, 900, being the
penalty of S. per bale on $4,000 bales
weighed at the warehouse since Turner's
removal, whice he claims they forfeited by
violating the public weigher law and other
suits will be fled against other warehouses
for about the same sums. MIR. Jones has
never provided scales and other appurte-
nances and offered his services to the
general public, but has only made demand
on the warehouses for the possession and
use of their outfits for his benefit.
The heavy freeze of night before last did
no injury to fruit or vegetables so far as
learned. There was not enough moisture
to hurt

AN IDEAL HALL.
How the Exposition Is Arranged
for Big Conventions.

How the Exposition Is Arranged
for Big Conventions.
In Exposition hail Minneapolis has
just what the city has long mcclellan
auditorium large enough to accommO-
date any sort of gathering. and
almost perfect in its appoint
ments. The holding of the Demo
cratic county convention there yes
terday demonstrated its fitness in its re-
arranged form, for the uses to which it
may be necessary TO put it at any time.
All the opera chairs that were in the
hall for the accommodation of the dele
gates to the national Republican con-
vention are still in position, having
been merely set closer together. The
gallery that was behind the platform
during that convention has been moved
forward and given more pitch, Civ
ing more floor space behind it and
not injuring the hall proper. The rear
rangement of the gallery increases the
floor space OH the third floor by the ad-
diti0n of two sections, each $50 by 20
feet in size. The convention hall is
now capable OF seating over 1000.
Should 1t be needed for larger conven-
ton, temporary seats can be put into
the gallery at small expense and
speedily to increase the capacity to
nearly 5000. The ball is also in such
shape that it can be inclosed at slight
expense and heated for winter gather
ings, without heating the whole build
ing.
Manager Bracket says that applica-
tions for space are coming in so rapidly
that local exhibitors must be alert or the
space will be all gone. Mr.. Bracket
feels confident thar the exnOSifiOu will
be more successful this year than ever

G. Nj. FOote OH What He Hears
and Saw Down There.

c. Nj. FOOte OH What He Heard
and Saw Down There.
c. NJ. Foote returned yesterday from
the East. He arrived too late to attend
the county convention, but he said he
was satisfied that everything went all
right so long as Alex Mullen was
there. Foote has been in New
York nearly all the time since
he left Minneapolis almost month
ago. His main object in going East was
to assist in telling Grover Cleveland
that he had been nominated for presi-
dent. He says that Cleveland was the
most surprised man he ever saw when
he was walked upon the platform in
Madison Square garden in the presence
about what had been done at Chicago
THAT was the greatest meeting |
ever saw or dreamed Of" says Footc in
talking about it. I'VE thought we had
quite an assemblage at Chicago and a
good deal of enthusiasm, but it was
nothing beside that notification meet
ing. There were no seats on the floor
of the garden. you know, and the peo-
pie were packed in there. standing Just
as close together a. they could be. And
the beauty of it was that they were all
men anu all voters no women among
them. Oh, it was great gathering.
And l want TO tell you that the talk
about Cleveland not carrying New York
is all moonshine," Foote continued.
.Why, Tammany is for Cleveland. No
doubt about it. That meeting in New
York was organized 10y Tammany. 1t
was against Mr.. Cfeveland's wishes, but
he deferred to the New Workers. Tam
many organized that meeting and gave
Mr.. Cleveland and the committees a
reception at the Manhattan club.
BOurke Cochran told me himself that
he had never seen such change In
sentiment as had taken place in New
York in the last month. OF course. he
attributed it to the unpopularity of Har-
riSon. but the people are going to vote
for Cleveland, and that is all we want.
Chairman Ed Murphy, of the state CEN
trail committee, told me the same thing.
Cleveland is sure winner. Everybody
is in line for him. There is Dan Lock
wood, of Buffalo. man who was op-
posed to the nomination of Cleveland.
The other day he bet $4,000. and put
up the money, that Cleveland would be
elected. Yes, sir: Cleveland is strong
i'll New York"
Mr.. Foote also says then Gen. A. E..
Stevenson $50 made an excellent i'm
preston IN New York. and that he seems
TO be strong candidate. The election

man of the national committee satisfies

Amount to $4,000.
1t is estimated that the loss resulting
from the flooding of North Minneapolis
along the shores of gassett's creek viii
amount to $4,000: In the event OF con-
tinued rains and the further spread of
water in the overlooked districts, the
damage will he considerably increased.
The flood is at Its worst on Western av-
enue, near the city limits. Tue damage
to 1nglewOOd springs is estimated at
between $1,000 and $4,000. The bridge
at lnglewOOd has been washed out. The
Western avenue bridge and the bridge
at Keegan's lake, on Fifth avenue
north. have been rendered impossible.
This latter circumstance has OccaSiOned
truck gardeners and suburban residents

BaSSett's creek drains large territory.
Barge's lake rose over eight inches dur
ing the storm of Tuesday, the waters of
Keegan'S lake were swollen and the
watershed of that section of the suburbs
with the lakes, poured their surplus
waters into BaSsettS creek. BaSSett's'
creek is the natural drain of the entire
district from Minneapolis to and includ--
ing Medicine lake, and when in addition
to its usual custom of carrying off the
drainage of that section, BaSsett'S creek
was forced to contain the additional

health and strength were fast wearing

For over two years I suffered almost
continually with pains at the back of

My nephew, Harry IL. Dance, of

spectacle since last nights rain. A fall
of water of three inches, lasting three
hours, has utterly pounded all kinds of
crops into the mud, and what little
grain was standing yesterday is gone to
the earth to stay. This condition exists
for an area of seventy-five miles, the
only grain left standing being on the
sand prairies east Of the Kansas City
railway. Acres will never be cut at all,
while there is field after field of winter
grain under water to such an extent
that binder cannot be run for three
days. The Cannon river is rising one
inch per hour, and everything is afloat.
