GRANDMA GALOW.
A Personal Acquaintance of Gen
eral Sam Houston.

The following comes from
Hearne, Tex, dated Monday:
"Grandma" Galow, an old lady,
aged about 80 years, for many
years a resident Of this city, died
and was buried at the city cemetery
at Hearne yesterday.
This good old woman has had a
notable history. She and her first
husband, whose name was Peak,
came to Texas at very early day
and lived at the town Of Washing
ton. She had in her possession up
to the time of her death, and her
daughter now has in her possess
sion, the table on which the decla-
ration of the independence Of
Texas was signed.
She was personally acquainted
with Sam Houston, David G. Bur
net and many other Texas heroes,
and entertained at her house one
night Colonel VIM. B. Travis when
he was en- route to San Antonio,
where he took command Of the
Alamo.
Grandma Galow had lived for
many years at Hearne, and was
universally loved and honored by
the people. Being so aged, her
death was not unexpected. She
leaves behind her the bright testi-
mony of a righteous life and died
at peace with God and all mankind.
She leaves daughter, Mrs. Mollie
Reese, who has been to her a most
faithful daughter and who has
been her stay and comfort in her
declining years.

Burned and Drowned.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Rio news
Of January 8, just received, gives
particulars of the burning Of the
ferry boat Terceiro, with 100 to $50
persons. Although the Terceiro
was barely three hundred metres
from land when the fire appeared,
nothing effective appears to have
been done to save the passengers,
except to open the safety valves Of
the boilers to prevent an eXplo-
sion. The fire burned with such
rapidity that the passengers were
driven overheard, where many
were drowned. Some were res
cues by the launch Of boats, and a
few succeeded in swimming ashore.
In a little more than one-half hour,
the terrible scene was at an end, as

Hem Hasty I'm His Judgment.

There is another side to the story about
the alleged attempt to kidnap Mr.. Eckels.
the controller of the currency. 1t is told
by the hackman whom Mr.. Eckels thought
was trying to run away with him. Tne
hackman's name is John Mclaughlin, ana
he was discovered by Hack inspector Gron,
who Investigated the case. McLauehlin's
account of the affair is as follows:
why, it was just this way. 1 was hard
up for job and dead anxious to get one
When that young fellow took me up was
in a hurry to take him home. But I'd
given q nickel to Mike to get HE a pack OF
cigarettes, and / didn't want to go away
you see and I tried to hurry him zap to go
along with me to keep company.
"'Wen we finally got of, you know, but
my hands were so cold had some trouble
fixing the horses blanket. We drove along,
and made up my mind to take the short
est route to Mr.. Eckels home. That would
have been out Massachusetts avenue. OF
course Maybe Mr.. Eckels expected US to
go out Pennsylvania avenue, where the
lights were, but 1t was right for me to take
the short cut. / guess that's what alarmed
him, ard the first thing knew he had pop
we yelled after him, but lie never came
back"
Controller Eckels has accepted the cab
by's explanation of the affair as satisfac-
tory, and he said he had no wish to injure
the excellent reputation of the hack line
unpleasant experience he had ever had
with them. Although he thought at the
time that his suspicious were well founded.
he admitted that it now looks as though
they were not. AT any rate, Mclaughlin
had told him that the next time he got
customer he would take him direct home
and not wait for a companion to join him
on the box.
