There May Be Trouble.

Pana, III, Sept. 29.-Walter Lyford, aged 19 years, was caught under a ca ble ear in the Spiingside Coal compa- nys mine yesterday morning and inter- nally injured. He died yesterday after noon. Before he died Rev. Father Vie gand called at the house and was ad- mitted. Passing his hands over the body of young Lyford, he said a prayer.
 F. s. Lyford. father of the boy, ob- jected to the proceedings and ordered Father Wiegand out of the house. Father Wiegand left and informed the Catho- lies of the action of Lyford. Some of the Catholics were greatly excited over the treatment given to their priest, and say that as the dead boy is member of the Catholic faith they will take his body and see that he is decently buried in accord ance with the rules of the faith.
 Lyford's father, who is a member of the American Protective association, called on that order for assistance, and twenty-five members responded. The A. P. As have charge of the body and declare that they will stand their ground. and if any attempt is made to take It blood will flow.

CRITICISM OF CULBERSON.
Opinion Divided as to tle Wisdom of Conyenng
 the Texas Legislature,


 Houston, Tex, Sept Ex-Governor Gull persons call for an extra session of the Twenty-fourth legislature to pass a law prohibiting prize fighting in this state was in the nature of a surprise to most peo- pie in this city. The general opinion seemed to be that the governor would attempt by writ of injunction to get the matter before the courts again, and that if he failed then to stop the fight he should drop the matter Members of the general assembly in the city were inter William Moroney, member of the house from Harris county, said:
 -"The governor must think that Texas has more money than anything else. I don't think he ought to have called an extra session. The game is not worth the money"
 Maj. M. Looscan: II am with the gov ernor in his call for special session. It, of course, is costly to the state but when 1t comes to the issue now forced upon him, the honor and dignity of Texas against rowdylsm the citizens will stand 1t and support him in his effort to sup press rowdyism and prize fighting"
 Major Looscan is one of the most prom inent attorneys of southeast Texas.
 J. N. Kennedy, representative from Harris county: .I believe that an extra ordinary session of the legislature will entail too great an expense upon the pso- pie, and am not in favor c,f such action. no matter how soon he cohvenes it. If there is much opposition it will be i'm possible to proceed with the business and pass the law in time to prevent the fight ,"

people have been able to sell their engines in Central and South America, Australia and Japan, but they have never been able to secure a sure foot hold in European countries, where the English type of To- comotiyes has always been preferred to the American.
 This prejudice has at last apparently been broken down. Contracts just re- ceived by the Baldwin works call for for ty locomotives, twenty each for passen- ger and freight service. They will be de 1ivered with the least possible delay, and with the orders already on hand will keep the big Baldwin establishment busy for the rest of the year.
 The names of the Russian railways for which the engines are to be built have been withheld by the firm, but as the government controls practically all the railways of that country, the contract may be said to have come from the gov ernment. This order, taken in connection with that given to the Bethlehem Iron company for a large quantity of armor plate for Russian warShipS. shows the friendly feeling of the eZar for American manufacturers. The Baldwin Locomo- tive works recently built several engines for the Trans-Caucasian railroad, which is also controlled by the Russian govern ment The forty ormore of engines to be constructed will be of the heaviest type and will be Vanclain's compounds.

Chicago, Sept. 29.--Al arrangements have been completed for the meeting of the Cuban sympathizers, to be held in Central music hall Monday night. The programme includes addresses from leading citizens of Chicago who are inter- ested in the struggle for independence now going on just south of Florida. So great are the manifestations of interest and sympathy that the committee has rented Association hall, as well as Cen tral music hall. and two meetings will be held. Among the speakers who will ad- dress the assemblages are Rev. F. w. Gunsaulus, Hon. W. J. Hynes, George E. Adams, Dr. P. $. Henson, Thomas B. Bryan and George R. Peck.
 Gonzales de Quesada, secretary of the Cuban revolutionary party, and o. A. Zsyas of New York arrived in Chicago last night the invited guests of the Gu ban Revolutionary club. It is not un- likely that they will address tomorrow nights meeting. Their visit to Chicago at time when the American symIa- thizers were to hold mass meeting IS merely d coincidence, they claim. Ihey come in the interest of the revolution In Cuba their prime object being to look after the question of finance, arms and ammunition for the aid of their contry- men in Cuba. Said Gonzales de Quesada this evening:
 "Our organization, the Cuban revolu- tionary party, is composed of 200 clubs, located in this country, Mexico and South America This organization was formed three years ago from the disent- egrated element of old Cuban war veter- ans. We have done great work, and in fact the last revolution in Cuba was launched by us. We have had to over come human selfishness. l never saw anything like it. We have to fight an army of self-seekers and beggars, we'll wishers and all that. Some how the story has got out that there is vast amount of money behind this movement; that we all have money to throw away, - and are not too wise in spending 1t, and from house to house, day to day have to fight off tramps
 'I have just received a letter from Cuba. We have an army of between 35,- 900 and 40 900 men, of which 20, 900 are well armed. but the rest are poorly armed and there is need of ammunition. What they need and desire is recognition from the United States. Why, the Spanish tell the ignorant down there that they will finish up whipping the Cubans and then will cross over into this country and whip the United States. You see iu is only ten hour trip across from Flor ida and the influence of the United States through the press, commercially and by reason of the fact that many Cuban families have sent their sons to Ameri- can colleges to be educated, has brought about this revolution.
 We have already set up republic and elected Gen. Bartolemo Masso pres ident. l have had no official notification of this, but l am reliably informed that such is the case"

rush at him. He kicked it back and it came again. He managed to get hold of a stick and for several minutes the fight was lively. Thtee times MT. Sil's knocked the dog out of the door, but eY- cry time it returned fiercer, if possible, than before. Mr Sils, thoroughly ex- hausted, climbed upon a high stool and fought the dog from there until MT. Baker returned. The two fought the dog out of the office again and this time 1t ran under the house. A pistol was then secured and he dog shot The dog was foaming at the mouth and had every in dication of rabies It cannot be learned who the dog belonged to.
 MT. A. P. Smith, electrician for the Selma Gas and Electric company, while running electric light wires into the stores of Elasburg Bros. yesterday evening happened to an accident which came near costing him his life. He was It the top of a pole 30 feet high in the alley at the rear of the store, when in some way he touched a live wire. The shock run through his body, stunning him for an instant His hold on the pole relaxed and he fell. Fortunately he fell upon the roof of a small out house and sustained only slight injuries. The fact that a man was shocked grew into re- port that a man was shot and there was considerable excitement in the vicinity of the accident for few minutes. Dr. Molloy was called and dressed MT. Smiths wounds. He was soon able to ride to his home in buggy. It was narrow escape.
 Work will begin this week on the Mey CT residence, Lauderdale street, recently leased by the Dragoons club changing 1t from residence to a modern club house.

The constitution of the club prohibits the opening of the building on Sunday and stipulates that any member guilty of gambling in the rooms of the club shall be expelled The club, offieered as it is and composed of Selma's best young men, is bound to grow and prosper.

General Cabell Wants Cleveland to Turn
 Blue and Gray Loose.


 Blue and Gray Loose.
 Dallas, Tex, Sept. 2S-Gen. w. L. Cabell, famous Confederate general has sent to Col. John P. Elliott, another ex-Confederate officer, the following com munication:
 Tt is time for the United States to do an act of justice as well as an act of mercy in putting a stop to the atrocities of the Spanish people, the most cruel and bloodthirsty of all nations in their cruel ties to the captured insurgents, as they are pleased to call them. The cruel, bar barous manner in which they murdered that brave young Kentuckan and that noble man Higgins far surpasscs the cruelties of the Comanche or Kiowa In- dians.
 Now, sir, is the time Cor the United States to take part in fhe unjust, un- equal war The latest reports from the Spaniards are that they have an army of 100000 soldiers in Cuba, and as soon as they get through with Cuba they say they win give those - yankees a lesson that they will not soon forget. l hope and pray that they will continue 10 feel that way and that they will at tempt to teach us what war is. We all know the boasting of that people.
 Tell President Cleveland to turn us loose. The old soldiers of the blue and the gray will chew that army up and present to him the island of Cuba as a Christmas present
 There is life in the old land yet"
