There are at present about 200 rangers in Texas. They are separated into com panies and are kept on the borders for the most part, says the St. Louis Globe Democrat. They live in the open air the year round. Nearly every night in the year, rain or shine, they have only the sky for roof ana the bare ground for bed. Their pillows are their sad. dles. They are made up of the flower oi Texas manhood. A wild, yelling, curs- ing cowboy is looked upon with COZ tempt by them. They depend upon their siX-shooters and carbines, their coolness and craftsmanship, the known courage of their comrades. The gov ernor of Texas is the chief officer of the rangers. What he says is law to them. The sheriff, the police, the militia, must not stand in their way if the rangers have orders from the gov. trnor. The rangers hold individually as much power as any sheriff in Texas. They hold more. They are not bounded by county lines.
 Whenever sheriff is unable to cope with lawlessness he calls on tho gcv. ernor and the rangers are sent to take charge. The section which the rangers police is larger in area than all of New England, and it is of such character that were it not for their work it would be given over to lawlessness and dis order. They are paid Si0 month and their rations and arms and ammunition are furnished by the state. They pro. vide their own horses, the state paying for them if they are killed. They will take the saddle at moments notice 10 go on a scout of q months duration They have no uniform. They have no military discipline, as discipline is gen. orally understood, but they obey their officers and will go with them to cer- tain death without murmur.

CHICAGO EGG THRowERs

ReleasedoFrom Custody, But to be Dis.
missed from school.
CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-On the strength
of a written plea for their release
sent by Mr.. Bryan, the police last
night released Foster and Hanchett
from custody with a warning not to
offend again, and the young men were
taken home by their fathers. Foster
admitted to the detectives that he
bought a dozen fresh eggs to throw at
the procession when tho Bryan car
riage passed the business college
building. Half of the eggs were
thrown before the youth took fright
and ran from the room.
Mr.. Powers. the proprietor Of the
school, announced last night that he
would assemble all the instructors and
pupils to-day at noon and publicly dis
miss the egg throwers in disgrace from
the institution, after making few re-
marks vigorously denouncing the of
fense and the two culprits.
Chairman Hanna, when told of the
incident last night, expressed deep re-
gret that such an attempt had been
made to insult the democratic presi-
dential candidate.

A TEXAS TORNADO
Narrowly Misses Giving Sherman

Casualties and Destruction Wrought
Very Indefinite-Requests Made for
Physicians, Nurses and Bandages.

SHERMAN, Tex, Oct. Ca tornado
originated about Sis o'clock last even.
ing near Pennington, Is miles south.
west of Sherman, and, after forming,
took northeasterly course, passing
about three miles east of Sherman.
1t was seen by hundreds of people in
this city. The usual tornado phe-
nomena were prevalent The ba-
rometer registered 20 OF. six points
lower than it did on May Is. when the
disastrous tornado visited this city.
The citizens here were much excited,
and it was some time before any effort
was made to learn the extent of the
disaster.
The first destructive work of the
storm was noted IL miles southwest of
Sherman. where it demolished a ten
ant house on the farm of George Duke.
No one was hurt at that place, and
the tornado rose from the earth strik-
ing again at a point four miles south
east of Sherman, where it demolished
tenant house on the farm of Jim Far
ris, occupied by the family named
Hayes. Four members of this family
were seriously hurt and it is reported
that Mr.. Hayes back is broken.
Several persons telephoned from q
suburban residence in the neighb bor-
hood asking that searchers be sent
out to look for persons who are miss
ing. Requests were also made for ply
cisians, bandages, stimulants and other
articles necessary to care for the
wounded.
Reports of the number wounded are
very indefinite, as it was pitch dark
ness soon after the passing of the
storm.
A man who was in the Farris field
is among the missing.
Manager Mcbride of the Western
Union Telegraph Co., sighted the
storm when it was just south of the
city and wired the Denison office to
that effect Denison is l. miles north
of here, and in 80 minutes Mr.. Nc
Bride received a message stating that
the storm was passing east of Denison.
This would make its speed near 25
miles an hour. A report has just
come in that Loving's schoolhouse
four miles east of Sherman, was un-
rooted. The Sky lighted up brilliantly
during the passage of the storm. but
darkness followed.

ter and Louis j. Hanchett, the young
men who attempted to.egg Mr.. Bryan on
Tuesday, were publicly expelled from
the business college from the windows
of which the eggs were thrown. Prin.
cipal Powers mounted the platform in
the presence of his assembled pupils
and announced the expulsion of the
culprits who had. he said, disgraced
the college, the city of Chicago, and
even the state of Illinois.
AS the young men were released
from custody at Mr.. Bryan's request,
this action of Principal Powers may be
said to close the incident.

AN EXPLOSION OF GAS
In the Lehi0h q Wilkesbarre Coal
Company,s Mine
Causes the Death of sIx Miners and Inj1ry
TO Two Others-Two Members Of
Reseuing Party. Succumb -
the Deadly Gas.

WMKEsRARRk. Pa. Oct. Soy an
explosion of gas yesterday afternoon
in No 8 shaft of the Lehigh s. Wilkes.
barre Coal Co. six men were killed and
two injured The dead are:
William &. Jones, fire boss
John w. Josephs. assistant mine
foreman.
: Thomas Owens.
William Lacy, contractor.
James Herring.
Joseph Worth.
Tho injured are: David Williams, la
borer, overcome by gas; John Davis,
laborer, overcome by gas and bruised
on the body.
Six others were brought to the sur.
face uninjured. When the explosion
occurred William Lacey, a contractor,
was at work in a rock tunnel about
uile from the foot of the shaft with 13
men. immediately after the explo-
sion a rescuing gang was organized
by Fire Boss William L. Jones and
Assistant Foreman John w. Josephs.
The men proceeded down the shaft,
Jones and JOsephs being far in adj
vance.
When about one mile from the foot
of the shaft they stumbled over the
bodies of Contractor Lacey, Owens,
Herring and Worth. At this point
Jones and Josephs were overcome by
black damp and fell dead in their
tracks. The other rescuers were
forced to beat q hasty retreat, bring.
ipE the bodies of Jones and Josephs
With them.
A few hours later the air current
was partly restored and the men were
able to push their way into the tunnel,
and at $3.50 last night signalled that
they had recovered the bodies of the
four rock miners. The rescuers with
the bodies were brought to the sur
face shortly afterwards.
There are several theories as to the
cause OF the explosion. The mine is
known to be q gaseous one, and extra
precautions have always been taken
to guard against explosions All the
men at work in the tunnel yesterday
carried safety lamps, SO it is not be-
lieved that the gas was exploded from
a naked lamp. The most plausible
theory is that the gas was ignited by
q blast.
The roof of the fanhouse was blown
off and the building otherwise dam
aged. The shock of the explosion was
felt. fully mile away. The mine
is on fire and will cause the company
much trouble and expense before the
flames can be subdued. In past years
this coiliery has been the scene of sew

BosrON, Oct. 30. = The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter says of the
wool trade:
While the movement of wool in Bos'
ton the past week has been smaller
than in the previous one, sales in both
New York and Philadelphia have shown
a substantial gain, bringing the aggre.
gate sales for the three markets over
100000 pounds in excess of the
previous week, the principal increase
being foreign wool. The story of Bos-
ton is one of frmness on the part of
holders and uneasiness on the part of
buyers, who find the outlook for or
ders is not as clear as could be wished,
and they naturally hesitate to
buy heavily of the raw ma.
terial. Manufacturers, while de-
ferring their purchases until
after the election, are watching
the market very closely. In New York
and Philadelphia an active market is
reported. Territory woods continue to
sell well. The scarcity of certain lines
of stock continues. Sales in Boston,
New York and Philadelphia for the
week aggregate 1854, 700 pounds, s.
O6a, 200 being domestic and 2,491, 500
foreign. Sales in the different mar.
kcts the past week were as follows:

with 10000 men in the insurgent
stronghold. The report that the Span
ish troops had captured his camp was
true, but it was the place where the
insurgents were awaiting a favorable
opportunity to cross the trocha, and
after Maceo had broken camp.
Gen. Munex. of the Spanish army,
with 10000 men, made an attack on
Antonio Maceo ON the hill known as
Cacarajicaras. Maceo in the mean
time retreated by the rear of his camp
with his forces and attacked the town
of Artemisa.
Maceo sent orders into the town for
the women and children to leave be-
fore the bombardment, but the Span.
ish general, 'Arolas, refused to allow
them to leave. saying that they should
all perish together. Maceo then bonn
barded the town and passed through
the trocha to the province of Havana,
where he is now. to meet Gomez.
Munez attacked the hill where he
thought Maceo was. and only found a
small detachment of insurgents on the
hill to distract the Spanish generals
attention, while Maceo attacked the
trocha. The town of Artemisa was
terribly wrecked. and many persons
are reported killed.
