Went Through the Depot at Thornton and

Special to the Statesman.
THORNTON, Tex, Feb. 13.-Last
night about 1915 a. IN. masked man
entered the Houston and Texas Cen
tral depot at this place and with pis.
tol down on the night operator de
manded that the company's safe be
opened and the cash turned over to
him, to which the operator replied
that he did not know the com.
bination of the safe and it
would be impossible for him
to open it, The robber then replied
that he knew better; that he had seen
him open the safe twice, and again de-
manded that the safe be opened for
him and forced the operator to go to
the safe and try to open it for him,
and after he was convinced that the
operator could not open the sale he IN
formed him that he needed what
money he had in his pockets and it
had better be given him at once,
which request it is needless to say was
promptly complied with to the full ex-
tent of his pile, amounting to about
$l5
The robber then politely requested
a ticket to Dallas, stating that he ex-
pected to go there on business on the
northbonud passenger, which was due
in about one hour and half, and
upon the ticket being handed him
demanded that it be stamped before it
was given to him, and after the ticket
was fixed to his satisfaction and given
him, he demanded that the operator
90 outside with him, as he waS going
| 10 kill him, aud after taking him as
far from the Office as he wanted
to. he asked if he was known,
to which the operator replied that he
| die not know him from d crow. The
robber then ordered him to go back in
the Office and take his seat and keep 1t
until he train came, and that if he
moved he would be killed, as he was
/ going to watch him.
| The operator, as soon as he was
allowed TO return to the Office,
informed the dispatcher at
Ennis of what was going on. The dis
patcher had some deputy sheriffs
brought up from Bremond on the
north bound passenger, but the rob
Der had in the meantime left, going
through the country making good his
escape aud nothing has since beeI
heard from him.

Mr.. Carlisle-I concluded to issue
bonds under existing authority, a
thing disliked as much as any gen-
tleman on this committee, for / did
not want to see the public debt of the
country increased in any way what
ever or for any purpose whatever.
The gold clause in Carlisle's offer OF
bonds brought out the following ex.
planati0n from the secretary:
Mr.. Baily-How are you to be paid
for bonds now advertised for sale Do
you demand gold coin?
MIR. Carlisle-Yes sir; the proposal
calls for gold coin.
Mr.. Bdily-This is the first time
there has been any discrimination.
sold bonds for gold coin.
Mr.. Bailey-I mean this is the first
since the act of 1878 was passed. When
Sherman sold those bonds gold was
the only legal tender.
Mr.. Carlisle-That is what the sec
retary of the treasury is substantially
authorized to do. Congress has in
vested me with authority to issue
bonds and sell them for coin. will
not issue bonds and sell them unless
the purchaser will give gold coin fol
them, for gold coin is what is needed
to maintain resumption and parity oi
the two metals.
Mr.. Oates-The bonds are made
payable in coin ?
Mr., Carlisle-"Not gold coin, but iI
coin When congress compelled the
secretary of the treasury by law to buy
Sl56,0O0 worth of silver it specified iL
detiuite terms the buying of silver and
he did"
Mr.. Carlisle's views were then secur
ed on the plan of another issue o.
greenbacks. He was asked if it would
be feasible and practicable to author
ize the secretary of the treasury to is
sue treasury notes sufficient to relieve
the wants and necessities of the treas
ury. The secretary said: "Why
of course congress could do that anC
the secretary of the treasury woult
use them. If you ask me as finan
cial question whether think it wist
10 congress to authorize the issue o
5000, 900 600 in greenbacks, | should
say no, because | believe III the frs
place there is an ample supply o
money in the country's business thai
is being tr ,nsacted and a good dea
more than is being used.
Concluding the hearing Mr.. Car
Isle expressed himself vigorously as tC
the validity of the present bond issue
He was asked by Mr.. Stone if the
bonds would be hurt by legal ques
tions. Secretary Carlisle said 40, be
cause if the secretary of the treasury
should issue these bonds and take th,
gold and dump it into the middle o
the Atlantic ocean it would not vitiat
the bonds.

PAPA REAGAN
Bought Himself Pile Diver to Use During
the Coming Campaign.

Much interest was centered In the
announcement several days ago that
the railroad commission was negotiat-
ing for the hauling of 30-ton pile
driver to this city, railrOad men spec.
ulatec and newspaper reporters pom
dered as to what in the duece it could
possibly mean-what use, pray, did
the railroad commission have fcr q
30 ton pile driver, of which there ale
very few In existence. They thought
until their brains were weary. The
news got out among the big railroad
bugs that the commission was Just
simply bound to have that pile driver,
30 they all began to hustle to get to
haul 1t from the factory here. The
railroad commission was visited and
questioned on the subject, but all to
no purpose. Commissioner Foster
loked blank aud knew nothing at all
about 1t, while Commissioners Reagan
smiled and said nothing. Thus the
matters drjfted along until yesterday,
when o STATESMAN reporter ran up
against well known travelling freight
agent, who, with happy look in his
eye, said:
"My dear boy, l have got the job
for my road, Yes, sir, we are dead In
the push. Ihave written headquart-
ers to have an extra heavy Car that
will hold the blamed thing built right
away, and we will be fixed. Yes,
sir, get to haul that 80 ton pile driver
that the railroad commission want.
The Car will be an extra heavy one,
and one end of will be closed in 80 as
to make a comfortable and suitable
place to sleep. What in the deuce
is all that for, you ask?
Why you blooming chump, amt you
on to that thing yet? The commission
don't want that pile driver, no indeed.
It's nobody more nor less than Papa
Reagan that wants that pile driver.
He told ms yesterday on the dead
quiet that he bought 1t for his own
special purposes, and made contract
with me for our road to haul IL all
over the state for him. What does he
want it for? Why, my dear boy, Papa
Reagan is going to use that pile dri-
yer during the coming campaign. He
proposed to knock all the other guber-
material aspirants through to China
by the means of it ana have clear
field to himself That's what he is
going to carry it around over the state
Tor, 50 as to get close range. See?

patriotic citizen had the president
been ahle to restore The status quo of
Jan. 16 1898. Why he failed is per-
tectly well known now. That oppor-
tnnity Is now gone and | suppose it

Then the senator regrets" said
Senator Teller. that the queen is not

and 1T seems to ms more wicked and
ccuel that we do not declare in an EN-.
phatlc manner that we do not propose
to interfere with the government and
II your minister in any way leads the
people OF the country to believe that
we are still disposed to carry out the
suggestions of the president to restore
the status quo, he ought to be with
drawn summarily. He ought to know
enough of public opinion in this coun-
try to know that the moment the
president submitted the question to
congress there was no probability that
the provisional government would be
destroyed and the queen restored to
power"
AT the conclusion of Senator Gray's
argument the house bill championed
by Senator Berry to compel the Rock
Island railroad to stop trains at the
tows of Enid and Round Pond was
taken up, Senator Blackburn taking
the floor in opposition TO the bill. No
conclusion was reached on the bill,
and on request of Senator Berry it was
agreed that the measure should come
up tomorrow again Immediately after
routine business.
On moUion of Senator Ransom the
Senate at o o'clock went in executive
session and at 5:l0 adjourned.

tempted to reach an agreement for the
closing of general debate tomorrow
with a view to securing vote but OBJ
lection was made. Over 40 members
have asked for time to speak and it
! may be possible that special order will
be required to bring the bill to vote,
but Mr.. Bland does not think this
method will be resorted to.
Tho speaker laid before the house
the Hawaiian message from the presi-
dent transmitted Yesterday, At the
request of Mr.. Burrows it was then

went into committee of the whole for

age bill.
Mr.. Bland tried to make arrange
ment to class debate at l o'clock to

a chorous ofobjections from Republi-

cupied the attention OF the house until
