Trying to Sneak Out Of the Crooked
Bond Deals.

H. N. Gaines was before the legis-
lative investigation committee yes
terday and testified relative to the
purchase of the $4,000 Hamilton
county bonds in the fall Of 1894,
about which such ascandal was raised
at the time, that he was opposed to
the purchase because the bonds had
been offered by D. D. Hornaday, who
had been bond clerk in his (Gainess)
office. He had discharged Hornaday
not for official misconduct, but for
personal misconduct, and he objected
to having any business transactions
with him. He, however, yielded upon
the representation Of Attorney Cen
eral Little, that he (Little) and Secre-
tary Of State Osborn had agreed to
purchase the bonds. Osborn was alb
sent from the city SO Gaines joined
with Little in the purchase, He
placed the responsibility upon Little,
who had assured him that the bonds
were legal and all right. He made
no examination himself. His entire
evidence was an attempt to unload
the responsibility upon Others but it
was q failure.

The proceedings Of the committee

mittee sees fit. After the organiza-

Marion county, it was ordered to

TALMAGE FIRED HIN.
Gainesville Church Withdraws IT.
Prather Credentials,

A special dispatch from Gainesville,
Texas, gives the latest chapter in
Prather's career. After relating how
he sauntered into Sunday school, won
the cor fidence Of the church which
considered his application to fill the
pulpit, it says Of the deacons: "They
further announced that they had
written to the Clerk Of the Baptist
church at Abilene, Postmaster Stroth-
er, editor of the News, and he had
answered that Brother Prather was all
right. He was joyfully received and
his name enrolled on the church book.
He preached two fine sermons on that
day and made a good impression on
the people. He attended a revival
meeting in the city, conducted by
ministers Of different denominations,
and made friends wherever he went,
lie talked politics with the people and
was gold-bug Democrat
"Then they found out what his
real character was. They went to
him and asked him about it. He told
them a convincing story and they
concluded that he was much perse-
cuted man. But they could not have
him in their pulpit with these ugly
charges against him, and so they gave
him church letter and some money
and sent him on his way.
"As evidence accumulated he
llourished the letter Of dismissal from
the church as an evidence of his good
standing, and as he had committed
no crime in Texas or since he joined
the church, it seemed that the church
would have to carry him.
"But Elder Frank Talmage, who is
cousin Of the Brooklyn Talmage,
took charge Of the church as pastor.
He at once went to work to get rid OF
Prather. He called the church to-
gether last Sunday and suggested
that the letter given to Prather be
revoked. This was done at once
Prather's record seems likely to
follow him this time to the ends Of
the earth.

ELECTRIC LIGHY talk.
CITY MAY PURCHASE THE
PLANT CHEAP.
If Not the Electric Lights Will
Wink Out October LIST Said to Be
Running at a Loss Now Is Good
Chance for Local Enterprise.

For some months il has been I'M
derstood that the electric light plant
Of the city was likely to be closed ow-
ing to the small revenue therefrom
Manager Rogers has by his personal
efforts been able to induce the COM
pany to continue the plant in opera
ton. Today, however, was received
| the ultimatum. In a letter to Mana
ger Rogers the president Of the com
pany says:
Il learn that the operation Of the
electric light department Of the com
pany Is being conducted at an annual
loss and the conclusion Of the COM
pany is that its operation should be
discontinued. Inasmuch, however,
as we do not wish to doanything that
will detract from the prosperity Of
the city Of Abilene or prejudice its IN
terest, we wish you to inform the
city authorities Of the conclusion
reached, and you may also inform
some Of the leading citizens Of Abb
lene who are likely to take an inter-
est in the matter, and say that we
will be glad to dispose Of the electric
light machinery, appliances and
and equipment to any local company
for the value of the old material and
machinery. This will involve agreat
sacrifice, but under the circumstances
will be preferable
please advise me promptly II there
is any likelihood Of the city or any
Of its leading citizens taking up the
electric light plant; because II not,
will, say on October LIST next, discon-
tinue its operation and dispose Of the
machinery and to the best advantage
This is chance for Abilene's pro-
gressiye citizens and businessmen.
II is estimated that the entire plant,
including engines, wires dynamos,
etc. can be purchased for about
$4,000 The plant has 400 lamp
power and il the city could purchase
1t by issuing bonds, not only could
the streets be lighted at practically
no cost to the city but the patronage
Of individual light consumers could
be largely increased.
A local company that would man.
age it conservativcly and accept only
d fair interest on the actual cost
in dividends could not only increase
the patronage 200 or 800 per cent
but could light the streets al q cost
which the city could, perhaps, afford
to pay.
There is a chance to get an electric
light plant at n cost which includes
no watered stock. II ought to be i'm
proved and the waterworks also, us
soon as practicable, be brought under
home ownership.
