FAvoRIMa UNITY.

1t isa we'll demonstrated fact that
the Democracy OF Texas is thoroughly
tired of and disgusted with the inter-
nal dissensions which have existed
within the rasks of the Democratic
party, in that state, between the Hogg
and Clark factions. AS al evidence
of this fact we submit the result OF an
interview between q newspaper re-
porter of jefferson, Tex, Hon. W. T.
Armistead, chairman of the Hogg
Democratic executive committee, and
Capt. W. S. Haywood, chairman of
the Clark Democratic executive COM
mittee of Marion county.
In the course Of their conversation
the newspaper man propounded the
following questions; l. Do you IA
vor a union Of the Hogg and Clarke
forces now or al any time before the
next state electisnf 2. If so, how
sball the two factions get together,
and what shall be the basis of re-
union? =,

CARROLL KNIFT1N SUICIDES.

Carroll D. Kniffin committed sui
eide by hanging himself, in the insane
asylum at Little Rock, Ark, early yes
teIday morning. The deed was COM
mitted sometime between the hour
when the inmates had been locked in
their cells for the night and the hour
of $50 when the cells were unlocked
Knifin had secreted pair of wool
en socks and unravelled them and
made two strands of string and twist
ed them together like rope. He
had then pulled the upper sash of his
window down and tied one end of the
rope to the iron guard just outside
the window. He had then tied his
feet together, stationing himself first,
however, in the window, and after ad-
justing the moose, tied his hands fast
to his legs with two handkerchiefs
and jumped from the window.
The history Of Kniffin's case is an
interesting one.
He lived at Guernsey, Hampstead
county, and in May he received the
appointment as postmaster at Guern-
sey. His father had died shortly be-
fore, leaving a will bequeathing his
estate TO d. j. Grounds. Kniffin nc
cused Grounds of having drawn the
will in his own favor, and bad blood
arose between them.
The result of the trouble was that
Kniffin was waylaid and shot by
Grounds, while on his way to Hope to
make his bond, as postmaster. One of
the bullets penetrated the skull and
lodged in the front lobe of the brain,
from the effects of which the wound
ed man became violently insane, ne
cessitating his removal to the State
insane asylum, at Little Rock. Not
even the slightest suspicion of the un-
fortunate mans desperate resolve was
entertained either by his keepers or
the officers of the asylum.
He was about 40 years of age and
leaves wife and several small chill
dren at Guernsey.
Grounds is now in Jail at Washing
ton, Ark, charged with assault with
attempt to kill Kniffin.

House Gets Down to Business.
The House on yesterday, after 1
practical suspension of business since
the adoption of rules last Saturday
literally "t0ok off its coat and wen

Of this enforced idleness of the House

sition. A hundred objections brush.
ed 1t aside and the House went into
Committee Of the Whole for the con-
sideration Of the bill providing for
the printing Ofthe documents. The
rest of the afternoon was spent in
general debate upon this measure.
The bill contains 1O2 sections, COW
ers 62 pages, and consumed in its
reading one hour and forty minutes.
1t deals with the entire question Of
the printing and distribution of pub
lie documents, and substitutes for the
old plan . system proposed by joint
committee Of the House and Senate at
this session. 1t aims at economy by
the appointment of bureau through
which all documents shall be sent,
thus reducing largely the number of
employees by concentrating, prevents
the extensive duplication now that re-
suits from the existence of the many
different sources from which public
documents are distributed. The bill
was read to empty benches, but when
Chairman Richardson, of the Printing
Committee, at the conclusion of the
reading Of its provisions, rose to
speak, the loungers strolled in from
the lobbies and hung over ratings,
In the course of his speech Mr.
Richardson referred to some of the
economies Of tho bill in detail, and
corrected some erroneous impressions
prevailing IS to its provisions. He
said tho passage of the corrected one
of the most faulty and extravagant
branches Of Government work and
saved at least $25,OOO,OOO per year.
The remsinder of the day was prin-
cipally consumed in the consideration
of the bill, by sections, under the five
minute rule.

SEWER COUNTY HORROR

News has just reached this city of
the most borrowing and terrible event
in the history of Sewer county, which
occurred in Mineral township in that
county several days since. The details
of the awful affair are as follows:
Mr.. T. W. Whitley, well known
citizen of Sewer county, residing near
Silver Hill, attended church some
distance from home with the elder
members of the family, leaving five of
his children, ranging in age from five
to thirteen, in care of the house. Af-
ter the services were over he returned
to find that his house had been burned
to the ground and all five of his chill
dron cremated in the ruins. Language
cannot depict the heartrending an
guish of the father and mother on
thus seing their comfortable home,
embodying the work of n life time,
and the Ave bright, intelligent chill
dren, the light and Joy Of their lives,
lying in one common heap of ruins.
The scene is too horrible to contem-
plate.
Nothing is known as to the origin
of the fire. Mr.. .Dillinger, school
teacher, boarding with the.family, was
the fret to reach the scene of the
burning home, and the house was
then falling in and the outhouses con-
tigious to the residence we're in flames.
The barn, which was situated some
distance away, was the only building
to escape.
The family is one Of the best known
IN Sewer county, Mr., Whitley, the ia
ther, being one of the most substan-
tial farmers in Mineral township. The
many friends of the family deeply
sympathise with them in their awful
bereavement.

ROBBERS sUocEssFUL WORK
Lake Shore ana Michigan Southern
Express Held Up.

r WV AAOAA " Ps
One of the boldest and most daring
express robberies Of the year was that
committed near Kendallvillo, Ind, on
the Lake Shore and Michigan South
ern railway, at an early hour Tuesday
morning. Tho robbers, numbering
fifteen or twenty well armed and
mounted men, secured an amount va
riously estimated at from $25,0OO
to 100000. The robbery was only
accomplished after the express car
had been shattered with dynamite and
the safe shiveEed with the same dead
ly explosive, and Engineer Knapp of
the express train shot down with
a bullet in his shoulder and another
through his side.
The robbery WAS one of the boldest,
and, according to all who will give in
formation upon the subject, one of the
most successful ever committed east
of the Mississippi river. The officials
of the United States Express Compa-
ny claim that their loss is under $780,
900, but will give no figures, The
statement that the robbers secured
$500, 900 is based upon the report that
one of the Chicago banks shipped
$250,0O0 in currency to one of its New
York correspondents. This sum is
now said to be riding around with
the men who took it from the broken
express car.
The incidents of the daring outrage
are best told in the language of a rail
way conductoF, who chanCed to be a
passenger on the robbed train. lie
gives the following graphic account
of the robbery;
"About 1850 one of the brakemen
awakened me and said that some men
were holding the train up. We went
forward to the baggage car. 1t was
filled with trainmen and passengers.
They were taking turns at peeping
out the door into the darkness. Ev-
cry few minutes a shot was fired in
the direction of the opening by guards
on the outside. No one could do any,
thing, The baggage car was next to
the express car, which was in charge
of the robbers. They had blown the
bottom Of the car out with dynamite,
completely stunning the two express
messengers. Then they covered them
with revolverS and rifed the safe. No
one could tell how much they got.
Three men were in the express car,
and ] should judge there must have
been in all between five and ten men
holding up the train. The stop was
made in lonely part of the country
in cut east of Kendallville. The
robbers threw the switch open in
front of the engine. James Knapp,
engineer, was shot through
the right shOSldsr by one of them.
There must have been 800 people on
the train. There was considerable
excitement. The women were awake
and frightened half to death. One of
them tainted. The train was unmo-
Tested with the exception of the ex-
press car. We were held up just one
hour"

Caught In the Tolls

OF that lurking foe, .chills and fever,
we often struggle vainly to free our
selves from its clutch. Palliatives
there are without number, but If you
want real remedy, as of course you
do if afflicted with this abominable
malady, hasten to buy and persistently
use Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. If
you follow this suggestion permanent
restoration to health will reward you.
Every form of malarial disease is per-
manently eradicsted by the Bitters,
which is likewise reliable safeguard
against msladies Of this type, Not
alone ON this continent, but through
out the tropics, 1t is justly regarded as
complete antidote to miasma poison
in air or water. No less effective is il
for disorders of the stomach, liver and
bowels, rheumatism, kidney COM
plants and nervousness. No one So
journing in 3 mslarlous region, or
who is subjected to outdoor exposure
in rough weather, or to excessive men,
tai or physical strain, should be with
out this fine defensive tonic,
