Majority Cut Down.

Jacksonville, Fla. Oct. THE re.
turns from yesterdays election are
coming in slowly, but enough Is known
to make II certain that the state has
been carried by the democratic ticket
by 10000 to 10000 plurality, showing a
falling OF in the democratic and repub-
lican vote. 1t is estimated that $4,000
votes were cast-15.000 republican. 5000
populist and 1000 gold and silver DEM
ocratic. The indications from every
county in western Florida point TO q
clean sweep for the regular democratic
ticket. The counting under the new
Australian system renders definite fig.

ENGLAND'S
MARRIAGE RATE.

The marriage rate in England
is increasing by leaps and
bounds. The builders Of subur-
ban villas declare they can
scarcely meet the demand for
these smart "eligible res
idences," and the returns from
Somerset House for the last
quarter show that the number
of couples married exceed the
average of the past 10 years.

ton are marrying, Girls. what

THOSE SHEEP STATISTICS

Austin, Texas, December 80.
Much ado is being made
about the great decrease in the
number of sheep in the Eleventh
congressional dislric; which has
taken place since the Hon w
&. Grain first went to Washing
ton, presumably for the purpose
0finiinIidating him into voting
for some sort of wool protective
measure, and also, mayfair, to
indirectly lead superficial OBJ
servers into believing that he
was in some way responsible
for the slump in heecy holdings
in his hailiwick.
Four counties are picked out
and figures are Quoted from
assessors reports to prove that
the sheep man has been APP
parently catching it where Susie
wears her beads, while the
gentleman from Cuero has been
representing him at Washing
ing. The figures are approx
correct, but they spell
nothing. The sheep exodus
began before Mr.. Grain went
to Washington. The advent of
the cattle man drove the shep-
herd out Of the Eleventh district
because sheep can not be sue
cessfully herded in large tIocks
On fenced pastures. Further
more, the decrease III Sheep in
Mr.. Grains constituency began
The daily herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1892-1897, 1896-01-03

when the tariff on wool was
high and is III no way attribut-
able to customs regulations,
and there is more fuss made
about it outside of the Eleventh
district than there is right
where the sIliihkage actually
occurred.
While limiting up assessors
statistics on sheep for four
counties in Mr.. Grains district
to demonstrate something thar
was already we'll known, name
ly, that said sheep, were not
as numerous down there as they
used to be. The high wool tariff
champions overlooked q bet.
They neglected to dig up what
the assessors reported about
real estate, cattle and other
values, not only in the four
counties referred to, but in the
whole district, Had they seen
fit to quote the assessors on
those subjects it would have
been shown that there has
been an average increase in
values all around of about
per cent, which many tims2
offsets the reported loss iii
sheep. i. A. P.

MORE TINE IS NEEDED.
For The Completion OF The
Arkansas Pass Work.

w dSuiuStOIl, u. ". Leu. OU-
-Messrs: Bond and Brooks Of
Baltimore came to Washington
this morning by appointment
to talk with Representative
Sayers in regard to obtaining
from Congress an extension of
the time for the completion of
the work at Arkansas Harbor.
These gentlemen represented
the directors of the company
and are themselves heavily in
terested in project.
Mr.. Sayers assured them that
he would do all in his power to
procure the necessary legisla
ton, and said he not only was
heartily in favor OF what they
asked, but he had no doubt
that Congress wonld readily
grant the extepsion.
Messrs. Bond and Brooks ex-
planned that tue date on which
the work was to be completed
was early in January and while
everything possible had been
done to finish it within the
specified time the contractors
had been unavoidably delayed
Representative Sayers says
that improvement of this har-
Dor is a matter of such great
interest to Texas that he is
satisfied there will be practical
ly no difficulty in obtaining the
extension.
The House will have no bust
ness session until next Monday
as most of the members who
can reach their homes quickly
have left the city to spend a
portion Of the holidays. The
Senate is expected, however,
to meet right along this week
with the exception of Wednes
day and much can be done in
that body.
Next week the Arkansas Har-
Dor matter will be pressed Wig
orously in the House.
Arkansas is not III the district
represented by Mr.. Sayers, but
Messrs. Bond and Brooks rec
ognize his long service in Con
gres and they are fully aware
of his great influence in the
House. The member himself is
always ready and willing to
hustle for Texas.

RATHER EMBARRASSING.
AN Absept-Minded Minister
Gets Himself Into a
Predicament.

A welI-known Washington
minister told a good story to a
representative OF the Star:
"In a country circuit in
Virginia" he said, sit was the
custom to wear week day shoes
and stockings.t to church, because
the dust would getthen soiled.
Sunday foolgrar Was carried
along in the hands Of the wear
ers, and when the chirch was
reached q change was effected
"a change was effected. One OF
the ablest ministers in the con
ference preached at the church,
and being told of the custom
and having some distance TO
walk from where he was being
entertained, adopted the same
method. One of the leading
characteristics of the minister
was his observation-disclosures, and
thrusting his hosiery in his
pocket, he mounted the pulpit.
When in the middle of his.dis
course he drew out what he
thought was his handkerchief
and after wiping his brow laid
the article down on the pulpit,
when to his dismay aid the
amusement of the congregation
he discovered that it was the
pair of extra socks that he had
worn TO church. He completed
his sermon, but it was the last
time he ever conformed to that
particular custom of the coun-
try.-Washington Starr.

MURDERED THE GUARD.

Ncwberry, S. G, March 27.-Yes-
terday evening about ! o'clock a
convict by the name of Aaron Duffc,
who was recently sentenced to two
years on the chain gang, Knocked
the guard in the mead with his pick
and made his escape, going in the
direction of Clinton, S. g. He was
not wearing stripes, however, but was
in his shirtsleeves and barefooted.
He is stout negro, and on the
chunkey order. He had only been
liberated short while and committed
another crime, which sent him to the
|tlfain gang for two years. Mr.. Jumes
Harayove, a young man about q
years Of age, was the unfortunate
victum. 1t appears that he was
sitting on the roadside and this negro
was picking JUS. behind him ard
took advantage of the situation by
using his pick on the young man. Mr..
Hargrove fingered until 2 O'Clock
this morning when death came.
MIR. Clamp, an old gentleman in
charge of the gang. who was short
distance away when the tragedy oc-
cured. was notified by one of the gang
wlat had happened, and he started at
o,te with two of the convictS in pur
srt of the william, but was unable to
each him, as dark sooa came upon
thin and they were obliged to return
tohe camp. l: :seems that the brute
nut have broken his chains. or he
co'd not have escaped so easily. No
doot this will be a warning to othc,s
in aarding convicts, which will teach |
the to keep their eyes on them in
stei of turning their backs.

But if Crockett, who was a very
able trainer, showed a slight loss of
nerve on that occasion, he made up

that the occupants would kill one or
