charged with the murder OF MIRA. En-
ma fAtline, wns heard today before
Hon. j. u, billiard. judge OF the dis
trict court. This cause has elIcitod
more interest than any case hitherto
tiled In Ellis county. The court house
was packed during the argument OF
counsel and the intense stiffness OF
the vnst audience demonstrated more
than anything clse could have cone
the deep feeling OF the people.
The argument was conducted by Hon.
William Fsara, county attorney. and
Robert n. seay OF Dallas on the part
OF the state. and Hon. NJ. II. Temples
ton and @, G. Groce for the defend-
ants. Al tho close OF the argument
the judge Immediately romanded Ia.
Wilson TO jail without bail, and stated
that he would take Eagon Wilson'S
case under Amusement iii morning.
The decision OF the Judge meets with
the most hearty appreciation OF cur
people.
We severely reproaoh virtue for Tia
defects. but we are fun OF indulgence
for tho mood uunlitlea of Vice.

NOT PUNCTUAL.
IL is very amusing to see some OF tne
natives They cannot learn TO Dc pune
tual. TX the train Is 10 leave AT l.-y' tney
think o'clock will do just as We'll one
old man got of at station. Inc conuuc-
tor told him that the train would only re-
main two minutes. The old man said that
he was sure IL would not leave him. When
the train started he ran behind, Gaining
out and making motions for inc tralh
10 stop. 1t did not stop, so the Oh man
made a complaint, and said the engineer
should not ride on the front carriage but
should be on the hind carriage, so ne couid
see IL any one was left and stop the TRAM
AN ANGRY OFFICIAL.
A man Of high rank In the government
nj Lydda came on the train from Jeru-
salem 10 LYDIA. His servant did not get
of. So soon after the train hft FOR Jana
the servant asked the conductor 10 stop
the train, as his master got or AT LYDIA
and he must stop there. AS the serVant
belonged TO this great man, the conductor
was very polite 10 him. and told MN as
no had made a mistake not to get on he
would speak TO the stationmaster at Jana
To let him return with the tram IN the
afternoon without paying anything extra
When the train returned In the afternoon
this great man was at the station Waiuns
for his servant, and took the conductor
name. He then made an official complaint
against the conductor and asked 10 nave
him imprisoned because he did not
take tho train back to LYDIA when he
found his servant had not got Off.
ALL IN A HURRY.
Many things like this, and even more
ridiculous happen every day. One could
write n book about things which have
taken place since the railway was fin
ished. | did not think travellers would
60 by train at first, but about all do now.
They all appear to be in hurry u get to
the Holy city.
II / was certain this would reach you
would write many things. II / get
rs,.ly 10 this will send you Few OF my
own little guide books for Palestine and
Syria.

The Iirlng at Appomattox.

The following Is apropos to the discus
sion OF who fired the last gun on Cor
don - lines at Appomattox:
UNITED STATES SENATE,
WASHINGTON, ID. g., Dec. Is, 1893.
Major W. w. Parker. 7l2 east Franklin
street, Richmond. Va.
My Dear Major,-I have your printed
communication, dated November 18th, en-
closed in a note dated November 18th.
You are entirely correct as TO my having
asked you to carry an order at Apo
mattox directing that firing cease along
my line. but 1t is still true, as stated in
my lecture, that a later order was carried
by member OF General Sheridan's staff,
now or recently located at West Point.
The circumstances were these, briefly:
After you had gone and firing had ceased,
a detachment which l had sent TO the
rear TO protect the space between Long
street and myself. and which l had en-
tirely forgotten. began firing upon a por-
ton of General Sheridan's cavalry. The
firing had ceased for some time on all
portions Of the line when this occurred,
and General Sheridan and had dismount-
ed and were sitting near each other con-
versing All OF my own staff having been
sent OF previously. as well as yourself, I
was compelled to borrow an aide from
General Sheridan. and did so.
am. very truly yours.
