The Western States Conference

To convene at Topeka, Kansas, DC.
tober l, 2 and 3, 1895. is Of special
importance to Texas. Hon. E. n.
Morrill,, governor of Kansas, at the
request of Hon. G. A. Culberson,
governor Of Texas, has issued an
official call for q Western States
conference convention to meet in
Topeka, Kansas, october l, 2 and 3,
1895. The object of this conference
is to unite the west and south in a
movement toward organizing di.
rect trade relations through the
Gulf ports with neighboring coun-
tries on the south and all foreign
nations. This movement means
that the products of the great west
will cross Texas soil en- route to
deep water, instead Of going over
the long haul to the Atlantic sea-
board.
To hasten the elimination Of this
great work, it has been suggested
that an Inter.Americsn EXPOSE
ton be held at Galveston in honor
of the completion Of the jetties and
the securing of water sufficiently
deep to float the largest ocean-go-
ing vessels. We wish to show
what we have to sell and find out
what we can buy to the best adj
vantage from our southern neigh
bors and it is generally conceded
that the proposed exposition will
settle the question. The western
state, conference and the general
government will join in this work,
and Texas should certainly lead
the procession.
Gov. Culberson has appointed
the delegates at large and from
each congressional district. Every
mayor of Texas, as we'll as every
presidential of a Chamber OF Com
MERGE, Board of Trade, or other
commercial body is made a dele
gate with authority to appoint an
alternate II he is unable to attend.
Each mayor is entitled to appoint
an additional delegate for every
ten thousand Inhabitants or frac-
ton thereof, in his city.
As the time of the convention Is
near at hand, 1t is especially re-
quested that action be taken i'm
mediately, as this conference is Of
vital Importance to every citizen
of Texas.

THE FREE SILVER ISSUE.
1t Depends Entirely Upon the Bust
ness Conditions of the Country.


ness Conditions of the Country.
NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Congress-
man F. G. Newlands, Nevada,
chairman of the executive commit
tee of the national silver party,
speaking to a World reporter at
the Holland house, Of the future OF
free and unlimited coinnge az a pol
itical issue, said: 81 recognize the
fact,n he said "that il business con-
tinues to improve and it turns out
that improvement is permanent,
the silver issue is dead. The only
discouraging feature OF the situa-
ton is the outflow of gold. AT this
particular time there ought to be
a foreign market for our staple ex-
port products, wheat and cotton,
but England does not appear to be
buying as freely as usual. 1t may
be that conditions will change and
the beginning of exploration cause
q return flow of gold; but to US,
who believe in the free and unlim.
tied coinage of silver, the situation
is one that should make 1t evident
that the world cannot do business
with gold alone. Nevertheless, i
am frank to admit that with the
return OF prosperity silver ceases to
be an issue, for when the people
are occupied with profitable bust
ness affairs they have neither the
time nor the inclination to dis
cuss money questions"

Train Derailed and Fireman Dead


ST. LOUIS, Sept. 16.-As the west
bound Vandalia passenger train
was passing through Collinsville,
Ills, yesterday, it struck a half
open switch and the locomotive
and baggage car were derailed and
flung to the one side, letting the
three passenger coaches pass on un-
harmed. Chas. Sandifer, the fire.
man, was killed and the engineer,
HI. A. Bauers, was seriously injured.
Ed. Garfield, the porter, was also
slightly hurt. None OF the passen-
gers were injure d. There is no
doubt the switch was turned by
some malicious person for the pur-
pose of wrecking the train.

THREE ALARMS YESTERDAY
Jack, the Fire Bug, Is Again at
Large
Another Suspicious Blaze in the DisreputnbIe
Part Of the City-The Other
Fires

Jack the Firebug bobbed to the surface
again, selecting as the time for his ap-
rearance upon earth the hour of 8 80
O'Clock in the morning, which is his
regular time for making his presence
known.
The alarm from box 60 turned the fire
department out to the rear of the house
located at 124 North Alameda street,
where's woodshed was discovered tu be
ablaze. An unsuccessful attempt was
made to fire the same prem ises about three
weeks ago. The house when used has
been notorious resort. Ii has not been
tenanted for some months. The damage
yesterday was about $40 The blaze is be-
lieved to have been Of incendiary origin.
Had the fire department not been
promptly upon the scene, the destruction
of property would have run into thous-
ands of dollars. The authorities have no
clue to the freDug whose speciality ap.
pears to be the wantonly insane destruc-
tion of houses used or which had been
use1 for immoral purposes.
Sparks from the passing railroad en-
gine ignited the Buena Vista street bridge
at 2:30 o clock yesterday afternoon. The
damage was nominal, the blaze being ex-
tinguished in short time by chemical
engine No. 3.
The roof Of Marsh & Ramishs crema-
tory, on Santa Fe avenue and Ninth street,
was discovered to be on fire at 3: 80 yes
terday afternoon. The origin of the blaze
is unknown. The fire did about $l00
worth of damage.

WHERE is THE FOOL KILLER?
Neglect Of Business Nearly Causes the Cable
Company Damage Suit


Company Damage Suit
That the fool-k killer is not attending to
business was plainly to be seen yesterday
lust about noon, at the corner of First
and Spring streets, and there is no corner
in the city where his rlghtful prey is
moro often in evidence. 1t was the sam 9
old story of woman driving; she was
farmer to begin within, one of Chimmy
Faddens farmers, and her wagon ami
horse bore the unmstakable ear-marks OF
hayseed and alfalfa.
She drove along with her hands held
high and about a half yard apart. one
rein in each. She was CHECKING with her
mouth to poor o,d I egasus and accen-
tuating each chick with slap of both
reins on his lean and bony launches. OF
course just as she got to the corner OF
First street. Downey avenue cable car
swung around going north; equally OF
course she was thinking about anything
and everything but cable cars: she was
used to the quiet and untrammeled lux
ury of country lanes, and the first thing
she knew was that eleven men were
shouting ut her at once, good many of
them were saying the same word, and
an intrepid and quick -witted policeman
was picking her horse off the side of the
dummy whittier he had aImlessly am bled
the air was full of passengers jumping IN
all directions to get out from under the
horses heels, and the only cause for
wonder to the horror stricken oystanders
was that the gripman had been able to
stop in time to keep from killing some
body.
To be sure. after it was all over, an ex-
preston approaching surprise slowly ac-
cumulated on her countenance, but that
the experience haun't taught her any
thing was painfully evident, for she
nearly ran over four separate and several
people before she got to Franklin street,
and had crossed the tracks twice besides
forcing an electric car to stop each time.
And the same woman got mad because
men say women are like hens.
