When we commented the week be
fore election on Mr.. Gwynne's letter to
vote for repeal of the race track laws
we said: "He has promised to do all he
al to pull his party out of the race
track mire and Mr.. Butcher is moe help
ing Mr.. Goynae to do it," Some could
not see how that could be. Last
weeks Sunbeam confirms our conclu-
sion drawn from Mr.. Gwynne's letter
by saying: Immediately after the
nominations were made in this county,
an attempt was made to compel the
Democratic candidate for Senator to
pledge himself to uphold the race track
bills. The man most persistent in op.
position to this, the nan who stood
stoutly by the candidate in his refusal
to give this pledge Vas James Butcher"

The new Wilson Democratic tariff
bill was made public on Monday. The
opposition to the bill by either Republic
cans and Democrats is not as great as
was anticipated by the men who fran.
ed it. AS it is more radical than any
other tariff bill Of recent years, they
expected very violent criticism. Peo-
pie will soon begin to see that the Demo-
cratic tariff policy will not ruin the
country.

James Butchers appointment of
Wilson Jones of Franklinville, Glouces-
ter county, has raised a storm in Glou.
cester county. Judge Jones is IL of
MIR. Butchers bondsmen and he repaid
the friendship by appointing the sol a
deputy. The Democratic leaders OF
Gloucester county appeased Charles T.
Molony for failure to get the nomina-
tion for Sheriff by backing Linn for De.
putty and he was Thompson's and Sena-
tor Smiths choice also. Butcher has
had to recall JONES' appointment. This
has rufied the Judge and started the
rumor that 81 900 had been requested
for the appointment, that demands for
cash have been made of other ap,
pointees. Butcher has repeatedly said
he would never appoint Mr.. Molony."

W. H. HILL SUICIDES.
A Series Of Reverses Drives Him to the
Verge Of Madness And the Rash Act.

GALVESTON, Aug. NV. H. Hill,
at one time prominent business man
of Chicago, suicided here this morn
ing by taking morphine. The story
of Hills life as told by his wife is a
pathetic one and full of interest. Hill
came to Galveston q short time ago
and sought a well known boarding
house, where he and his wife remained
until reduced in circumstances they Sc
cured cheaper quarters with family
in a remote part of the city During
his stay here he seemed somewhat
troubled and ON the morning of July 5
he was found on the beach with
a bullet hole in his head and
a revolver lying by his side. He was
taken to the hospital and by the
constant attention of his wife he soon
recovered from his attempt at suicide.
Since that time, however, he has
suffered great mental strain, and last
nights act was the eliminating event
in life full of joys and sorrows.
TIC SUI 90 IOlO ny LIS wiz, 10 az
follows: Mr.. Hill was at one time head
accountant for the G. H. Hammond
Packing company of Chicago at a sal
AIRY OF $500 year, but owing to a
change IN the management of the COM
pany he was discharged and sought
employment elsewhere. Through his
former employer, who was president
of the company at the time Mr.. Hill
acted as accountant, he obtained a po
sitiou with the Fort Worth Packing
company, out remained there only a
short time. He came from Fort Worth
to this city early in July, and since his
arrival here he has not been engaged
in any business.
Mrs. Hill is very bitter at those who
secered her husbands dismissal from
his Chicago position, and she says he
was murdered by millionaires, who
she threatens to bring suit against for
heavy damages. Hill was buried this
afternoon with Episcopal ceremonies.

large and enthusiastic meeting was
held at the courthouse on last Satur-
day evening to adopt resolutions re-
garding the financial question. A
count showed that 90 Populists, 1 Re
publican and 4 Democrats took part
in the proceedings. One of the Dem
ocrats was not citizen of the county
and another one stepped down and
out upon the adoption OF the first res
olution. President Cleveland was de-
nounced and resolutions were adopted
with the Third Party earmarks in
structing our Democratic congress
man, elected upon Democratic plat
form, how to vote on the financial
questions now before congress. A
large number of Democrats were pres
ent as spectators, but took no part in
the proceedings, although it is safe to
say that at least nine-tenths of the
Democrats of this county are for free
coinage.
G. w. Lindsey, our efficient assessor,
has finished his rolls and the taxable
values of this county show an increase
OF $126, $50 over 1892.

HELD UP THE TRAIN.
Express Car Robbed In Missouri-Well
Fargo & Co. the Sufferers.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 1.-THE Atlantic
Express and st. Louis and San Fran
cisco, train No. 4, due to arrive here at
$50 a. M, was held up at $40 this
morning at st. James, 100 miles south
west of here by two men, and the ex-
press car robbed. The express service
on this road is in the hands of Wells,
Fargo Il Co. and as most of their bust =
ness is through business and of an i'm
portant character, the haul is believ-
ed to have been a good one. E. d.
Ferguson, messenger in charge of the
car, is unable to give any estimate of
the amount secured How much was
stolen is not known as the company
and employees refuse to talk.
The robbers boarded the train at
Rolla, a watering station, hiding be-
tween the tender and express Car.
When near st. James they entered the
car through the door, which was open,
climbing over lot of chicken coops.
They forced the messenger to open the
local safe and took several packages
therefrom, containing in the main
jewelry. They did not see the through
safe, which was hidden by lot of
chicken coops. Then they pulled the
bellcord and when the train slowed up
jumped off the car and ran away
through the field. They made no at
tempt to touch the passengers. AS they
left, however, they fired several shots,
presumably to brighten the passengers
1t is not thought they secured a very
heavy haul,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-[Special. !
Senator Mills has received the follow
ing telegram from Mr.. George Sealey
of Galveston:
GALVESTON, Aug. 12.-Hon. R. @.
Mills, Washington: Will you assist in
ending the panic and distressed con-
dition of the country by suggesting to
those higher in authority that $4,000
900, so, 900, 900 or 100000, 900 silver dol
lars be paid out by the government
against clearinghouse certificates as
security, the certificates being redeem,
able in currency?
The certificates are as good as gold.
being guaranteed by all the associated
banks. 1t is the duty of the govern
ment to relieve the existing distress.
The government is now the Demo
era tic party. Future success of the
party depends upon present action.
The country can stand no delay.
Silver dollars under existing condi-
tions will be acceptable to the people
A starving community will gladly
accept cornbread temporarily, from
necessity. as a substitute for wheat.
This will enable the government to
place into circulation with the people
millions of silver dollars which, up to
this time they would not take. If we
are compelled TO purchase currency at
from 1 to per: cent premium it will
work a great hardship on the planters
as owners of cotton and other produce
will have to stand the cost.
Consult with Secretary Carlisle and
if he has not the authority to do this,
introduce bill, if you agree with me,
authorizing it and it will pass Doth
houses with little debate, the neces-
sity being so imperative.
GEORGE SEALEY.
Senator Mills WAS asked today what
he had dore in regard to the sugges-
ton and said:

DEPUTY SHERIFF THoRP's CASE.
how He Tried to SuCcor a Woman He
Thought in Distress.

how He Tried to Suecor a Woman He
Thought in Distress.
One Of the bravest officers in the
whole state of Texas is Deputy Sheriff
Thorp. His love and admiration for
women Is we'll known. To aid
woman in distress is joy to him to
which nothing can compare. Always
ready to uphold the majesty of tin
law, he is also ready to fight his way
through fire and water, aye, to wade
through blood to rescue q member of
the gentler sex from danger or
cruel treatment.
Yesterday morning along about the
proverbial hour when graveyards
yawn, ETC., while enjoying the sweet
sleep of the innocent and blest in his
virtuous couch at the Hotel de White
he was startled by hearing the shrill
shrieks of aswOman. Hardly waiting
to put on his shoes, he shot out the
door like projectile from catapault
followed by volley of beautiful lam
guage soft and sweet from bis side
partner, John Meredith, whose cot he
had fallen over in his mad exit. Down
the avenue he ran, with white flag
OF truce streaming along behind him,
hard OH the trail OF what he thought
was q murder or case of abduction.
Nearer and nearer sounded the
screams and faster and faster flew the
feet of the doughty deputy. Finally
he found the source of the
screams in the person of
Philis Johnson, one of the toughest
specimens of humanity within the
realms of the Lone Star State, who
shortly before had been locked up in
the calaboose.
what's the matter, Phillis?n asked
Mr.. Thorp in his kindest voice.
"Ise mad, sah," replied the dusky
Mr.. Thorp said he was sorry she
was mad and at once headed for home
again, thinking hard but saying not @
word.
