Oklahoma,s New Governor.

GUTHRIE, o. t., Jan. THE news
that Judge Abraham Seay has been ap-
pointed governor of Oklahoma was re-
ceived with great enthusiasm here,
though the other candidates had many
friends Everybody was happy that a
home man had received the appointment.
The supreme court was in session when
the news arrived. Judge Seay being on
the bench, the news was too joyous for
the decorum of the court, and the at
torneys almost cheered the judge as a
hurried adjournment was effected. In
the next hour hundreds of prominent
citizens called to congratulate the new
governor. An informal reception was
rendered him at the Palace hotel, and
he was deluged with congratulations.
Hundreds of kilograms were received
from all parts of the country including
from each of the rival candidates for the
Office.
In an interview the governor-elect
stated that unless it was imperative for
him to assume the governorship at once,
he thought it his duty to help the other
judges through with the work of the
present session of the supreme court
that when he was governor he would dc
what he thought was right, no matte,
what comes.

He Killed the Horse.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Ind, Jan. 7.-Evert
Lynn, who created such sensation here
few weeks ago by clipping with pretty
Carrie Morris, the 1S-year-old daughter
of prominent citizen, returned Mon
day, AS usual the father and mother OF
the bride relented and wired Lynn to re-
turn home at once from Nashville,
Tenn, where they were living. As
Lynn did not have the price to secure
tickets to return, he managed to get a
horse and buggy, and with it he made
the long distance from Nashville. They
averaged thirty miles per day, and
through all the snow and rain he and
his young wife bravely drove. When
they reached the home of her father, the
girl was completely exhausted and is
now in critical condition. Lynn looks
none the worse for his ride. The horse
died a few minutes after reaching home.

MoRRTsTowN Tenn, Jan. 4..The Tex
as Exhibit cars have now reached East
Tennessee, after doing their mission
AIRY work for fifteen days or more in
the Carollnas. The crops through
both North and South Carolina have
as rule, been poor for three years
past, and many of their best citizens
are becoming discouraged and arrang
lug to go west. To these, the exhib
It we made to them was a welcome
revelation, and the Texas literature
we have distributed so lavishly, was
gladly received. The officers of the
Richmond and Danville railway, over
which we came, gave us every iacil-
ity for work, and urged US to stay on
their sy stem for two months longer,
MS the sale of tickets to Texas have
been more than doubled in the towns
aud cities We have visited. Asheville
and Hot Springs, n c., are watering
places, and patronized largely by
northern people. There we met cap.
Italists from New England,
New York, and parties OF
English tourists ladies and gentlemen,
who all visited, and were much inter.
ested in the Texas Exhibit. An En-
gIish lady at AshevilIe remarked as
their party left the cars, eve suppos.
ed Texas was only the home of the
cowboy and backwoodSman, but your
schools, churches and public build
ings as shown by those photos would
do credit to any part of America, or
even Europe, and your fruits and
grains are marvel of beauty and
quality" Hon. w. II. Wright, a
Boston manufacturer also met US in
Asheville, he said, Last week in Bos
on young man with $4,000 in the
bank was discussing what to do and
where to invest. l told him to 60 to

and they would double in value in two

of men when we meet daily, nearly
always make inquiries as to the status
of the alien land law in Texas, and
when show them the decisions of the
lower and supreme court of Texas de-
claring it unconstitutional, one can
see at glance with what satisfaction
they receive the Lews. l would like
to have our Texas friends with us fol
day at least, to mlngle with the
throngs aud listen to the remarks
made as they leave the cars and walk
along the stree's with their handful
of Texas literature. Today, at this

before so much suffering and sacrifice

on pure principle alone, is unprecedented
in the history of labor struggles. But to

Powder Explosion

By Telegraph to State Chronicle.
STEUBENvILLE, O., Nov. 81 "A fear
full powder explosion occurred shortly
after noon to day at the Bianch coal
mine, at Golfers. W. Va. Twenty five
kegs of powder exploded causing the
instant death of three miners and the
serious wounding of eight others, three
of whom will probably die. One man
was just entering the mine when the ex
plosion occurred and was blown dis
tance of fifteen feet over trestle.
The explosion occurred as the men
were returning from dinner, and had il
occurred ten minutes later the destruc-
ton of life would have been something
awful. The force of the explosion shook
the ground as though by an earthquake.
1t is supposed that il was caused by a
piece of fuse which had become lighted
in some manner and conveyed the fatal
spark to the boxes in which the powder
cans were kept.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-There was

in the circuit court of the United States

by Henry Root against the Third Avenue
Railroad Company, The plaintiff alleged
priority Of invention in the method of
LAYING cable railroad tracks in substra-
Ium of concrete SO as to solidlty the
whole into rigid structure. He claimed
that previous to his invention all cable
railroads had been constructe1 of iron
rios of the form of tu De, the spaces be
tween the ribs filled in with wood. The
fact of priority of invention was virtually
not put in dispute, but it is alleged that
the invention had been in practical use
in the city of San Francisco for more
than two years before the plaintiff ap
piled for his patent. Mr.. Justice li ath-
ford held that the evidence substantiated
this fact and therefore that Root was not
entitled to patent and his bill was dis
missed.

wav, Central Branch Union Pacific rail
