GOV. GARLAND MAY RETURN
A REPORT THAT. HE WILL SETTLE
 DOWN NLITTE ROCK.
Inn Gossips Attach Some Political signifi. canoe to the Report, But That
 Is ProbsbIy Uufounded.
Arkansas Gazette. ]

Hon. A. H. Garland will, so it is semi-offieially reported, shortly sever his presence from Washington, D. O., and return to Little Rock to reside during the remainder of his days. This movement on his part has been anticipated for some time by his close friends. Gov. Garland has always retained a strong liking for this city and his years of resi- dence at the national capital have only served to strengthen his desire to live again among his old friends. It is reported that he will not en- tirely give up his extensive law practice at Washington, but will open up law office in Little Rock from which he will direct many of the cases entrusted to him at the Capital. The gossips incline to the belief that the distinguished gentle mans reported intention of return ing to Arkansas to live indicates a desire upon his part to re-enter public life and to again aspire to pref erment as a representative from this State in the United States Sen ate. This, however, is but a sur- mise and it is not shared in by those who know Gov. Garland best.

tions. In 1865 he permanently took up his home in Missouri, and in 1873 entered Congress. He has been reg ularly returned ever since. In 1877 he introduced the bill with which his name will always be associated in monetary history-the bill which became the Bland act of 1878. It provided for unlimited coinage of silver, but was so amended by the Senate that tho coinage was limited. Mr. Bland is honest and sincere in his convictions and thoroughly rep resents his constituents.

Special Delivery" 8 new comedy molodrama by David H. Scully, under the direction of J. J. Coleman, which proved one of the bigsuecesses last season will ee presented in this city the coming season. As it's title implies it centers about the postof- flee, and it's hero is a postman. The plot is clever and decidedly original and the details are very skillfully carried out. The dialogue is forcible and the. language impressive and we'll chosen. In the play are some of the strongest situations to be found within the whole range of modern melodrama. The comedy is refined and is q refreshing relief from the coarse horse play so common in plays of today. A number of musi- cal specialties are neatly introduced. The scenic features are magnificent; notably, "Old Harlem Bridge by moonlight, opening and closing to allow the various river craft to pass, and the Interior of the Mail Delivery Department of the New York Post office.

HE DARED THE ENGINE.
Drummer Tells What He Saw in a
Railroad Yard.

Railroad Yard.
Zone Christmas was down watching
the yard geese or swltchmen in the
yard at Ottumwa, Ia.," said the drum
mer to San Antonio Express man.
''The whole crew were celebrating,
more or less, and had paid many visits
to The Road to HE'LL kept by old
Stormy Jordan, who bucked the prohi-
bition law so long. A fellow in the
crew pulling pins tall, lank, blue
nose from the eastern limit of Nova
Scotia, was always chewing the rag and
'rawhiding' with the eagle eye or engi-
neer on the yard engine. Both were
pretty well tanked and got to bluifing
each other, and finally the blue nose
bet the engineer he could stand in the
middle of the track and get on the head
end of the engine as fast as she could
turn a wheel.
They put up SIS a side, but that
wasn't all the stakes. Failure meant
certain death for the switchman and
a trial of the engineer for murder.
They went out into the yard to set
tie it. There stood the switch engine
all hot The ground was frozen and
slippery and the track full of hard
packed and frozen snow to the top of
the rail. Up to then we thought they
were bluffing, but when they took the
engine back a quarter for a start we
tried to get the fool off the track, but
he was armed with a car pin and stood
us off.
"The engine came at full speed, % or
30 miles an hour easy; that fellow stood
staggering drunk in the center of the
track and never moved. When the en-
CINE reached him he leaned way back,
set one foot up on the step and she
picked him up lake flash and never
even threw him up against the iron
hand rail! They went back to the sa-
loon and one more drink apiece put 'em
both asleep"

HAD TO RESURRECT HIM.

Novelist Du TerraiI Forgot That He Had
Killed One of His Characters.
A great master of the art of throwing
off stories by daily installments was
Ponson du Terrail. When he was at
the height of his vogue, says the Boston
Transcript, he kept three running at
the same time in different papers. His
fertile imagination was never at a loss,
but his memory frequently was. He
was apt to forget to-day what he did
with hero or heroine yesterday. To
help his memory he at first noted down
briefly in copy books what happened to
his men and women, but finding that
often he could not read his own writ
ing he invented a new system. He pro-
cured little leaden figures, on which he
gummed the names of his characters as
tie. were born. Surprising there were
three stories running, there were three
sets of figures in different drawers.
When a character was settled off the
little man or woman in lead was taken
away from its companion and laid
aside.
One udy when Ionson uu IeTrall was
all behind in his work he set himself TO
his task without examining the slain.
His bad memory led him into a terrible
blunder. He had forgotten that he had
killed Rocambole-the still famous
Rocambole-in the previous feuilleton,
and to the great surprise of the reader
he made him talk again as if nothing
out of the common had befallen him.
This resuscitation of Rocambole is one
of the most curious things in the his
tory of the romans-feuilleton.

SAN ANroNIAN WOUNDED.
Ed. Haenel Assaulted and Fatally
Wounded.

Wounded.
A telegram received by Mr.. Gus
tav Haenel, Of No. 1874 Alamo street,
yesterday afternoon from Seguin
announced that his SOB, Ed. Haenel,
well known merchant Of Marion,
had been fatally wounded in an
encounter with Walter Voelker, of
Seguin, son of a we'll known drug
gist of New Braunfels.
Mr.. Haenel, with Drs. Braunna-
gel, FitzSimon and Oldham, left as
soon as possible on a special train
for Seguin, and DIR. Hadra fol-
lowed on the regular train later.
The doctors returned this morn
ing, after giving the wounded man
all the attention possible. He was
shot by Voelker in the right side,
the bullet completely shsltering
the spinal column. The wound is
pronounced as, fatal, though at
last accounts the patient is yet
alive.
The accounts of witnesses to the
shooting state that the shooting
was unprovoked, Haenel being I'M
armed. There was some trouble
between the two principals over
land sale and they met in saloon,
Haenel, when accosted by Voelker,
threw off his coat and started for
him, when the firing began. Dan
Erkel, friend of Hsenel, was
