to the house for further consideration.
The committee decided to vote upon the
bill in view of the facts that the resolu-
ton committing the bill to the committee
stated that not sufficient time had been
allowed for it's consideration.
In reporting the bill the committee will
also submit the proposition made by the
railway companies to pay the principal
of the debt without interest. This ac-
ton is to enable the house to vote on the
proposition if it desires. A motion to re-
port foreclosure bill received only one
vote in the committee. The proposition
for payment of the principal of the debt
submitted by the reorganization commit
tee and which will be offered as I'm ad-
ditional section of the bill is as follows:
Sec. 10. If either the said Union Pa
citic railway, or the appointees of such
company, or the Central Pacific railway
or any trustees approved by it, within
II months from the date of the passage
of this act, shall pay or procure to be
paid to the secretary of the treasury an
amount in cash equal to the par or face
value of the subsidy bonds of the United
States issued to aid in the construction
of such road, the secretary of the treas
ury shall accept the same and recover
same into the treasury. and thereupon all
claims of the United States against the
company, together with all liens against
the said company, shall be assigned (but
without recourse to the United States

FLAMES AT ROUND ROCK.

Fire Hall and Printing Office Destroyed
Firemen Lose Everything.
Round Rock, Tex, Feb. S.-(Special. y
At $50 last night the fire alarm was
sounded and the citizens rushed out
and found the Firemen's hall, engine
and hose cart and the printing office all
ablaze. A photograph gallery near the
hall was saved by being moved, it be.
ing Il portable concern.
John Pattersons blacksmith shop
just across the street from the hall, was
soon on fire. The fire boys being badly
handicapped by the loss of their appa-
ratus, it required untiring effort to save
the building, but this they did, very much
to their credit.
The loss to the Round Rock Times
office will amount to about $3.50, in
surance $780, The fire boys lost nearly
everything; no insurance. They had just
gotten out of debt, having been seven
years doing so.
From all accounts the fire started from

Pensacola, Feb S.-Wilis Jordan. the
young negro who successfully duped the
negroes of Jackson county with his Iii
IBERIA emigration scheme, has been cap
tured at Milton, near here, where he was
traced by one of his dupes. When ar.
rested he had 5000 on his person, part
of the money collected by him from the
negroes. He was taken back TO Cotton
dale, in jackson county, where u large
number of his victims are still camped
in u destitute condition. On his arrival
he put on bold front, and made speech
to the negroes, telling them that he had
been sick and was unable TO come last Sat
urday, but that he had chartered n train
from the Florida Central and Penascola
road, which would be run to Cottondale
over the Pensacola and Atlantic road and
take them to the coast on the way to
Liberia. The crowd accepted this state
ment and cheered Jordan loudly, but the
whites aretaking stepsto expose the fraud
and punish him.
The mercury went down to II above
zero last night the lowest ever recorded
here, being two degrees lower than the
December freeze. Owing to the back
ward condition of the fruit there was
no damage done.
