Texas HOOdlums.

AUSTIN, Tex, Nov. 2.-For over four
hours tonight the streets were damned by
bowling mobs headed by brass bands and
footing horns. There were a number OF po-
litical meetings in progress, and the crowds
of hoodlums broke up several meetings. At
one meeting when Harris, the Republican
negro nominee for Congress in this district.
attempted to speak the crowd of hoodlums
swarmed to the platform, and one OF them
broke the water pitcher over his head while
others dragged him from the platform.
Democratic and Populist speakers were
also howIed down, and several rotten eggs
perfumed the air. No one was fatally hurt.

LONDON, Nov. 3.-The Times this morn
ing announces that it will issue on Nov
a facsimile reproduction of the Times of
Nov. 8, 1886, containing Washingtons fare
we'll address. In an editorial on to-day s
election in the United States the Times
warns British investors, in the event of
Mr.. Bryan's election, against frantically
throwing their stock on a disorganized
market.
A dispatch to the Times from New York
gives as the correspondent impression,
gained from an interview with Mr.. McKin-
ley, that he did not seem to regard the new
tariff as a vital necessity to American in
dustry and that he did not appear to be
animated by hostility towards England.
The special dispatches from New York to
all of the morning papers reflect the i'm
preston Of the correspondents that there
is increasing confidence in the success of
Mr.. Mckinley. None of them, however in

Was Five Occasions Sentenced to
Hang.
RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 26.-Gov. O'Fer-
rail- has pardoned Wayman Sutton. of
Wythe county, who was serving life
sentence in the penitentiary. Sutton
was convicted of killing Peter Harvell
and sentenced to be hanged. An ap-
peal was taken, judgment of the lower
court was confirmed and he was again
sentenced. The day of execution was
by mistake fixed for Sunday and he
was resentenced. The night before
the day fixed for his execution he was
released from Jail by citizens and es.
capped to the state of Washington,
though it is said he protested against
release, on the ground that he was in
nocent and to accept it would be an
admission that he was guilty.
He lived in his new home three
years, but was finally recognized and
brought back and sentenced to be
hanged within eight days. The judge,
however, recognized that he had not
given the prisoner the length of
time allowed by the statute and conse-
quently resentenced him. Thus he
was five times sentenced. Ever since
Gov. o. Ferrall has been in Office great
pressure has been brought upon him
to pardon Sutton.

They are Made by n Journalistic Partne-
of Mr.. Bryan as to Certain Reports.
OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 26.-The World
Herald, in an editorial addressed ITO
the newspapers of America" says:
Two falsehoods concerning the World-Herald
and Mr.. Bryan are being so widely circulated
and innocently published thatI ask as matter
of fairness this correction.
One falsehood is the pretense that Mr.. Bryan
was connected with the World-Herald in 1893.
at the time that this newspaper opposed free
coinage ut the present ratio Mr.. Bryan did
not become editor OF the World d-Herald until
September. 1884, and Mt that time the World
Herald openly reversed its former policy ana
came out for free coinage ut the present ratio.
The second falsehood Is in attributing the
following language to the World-Herald,
whereas in point Of fact 1t originated with the
New York Sun and was quoted from the New
York Sun by the World Herald Everyone
who has money ut his disposal can protect
himself against loss through free silver by con-
verting his money into land. houses and mer-
chandise of various kinds. II. besides, he bor-
rows more money and uses 1t for that purpose.

the expense OF the man from whom he borrowS

the hands of a receiver Monday night.
Thomas X. Akin, of Alexandria, gave
the necessary bond with the Union

charge of the plant. The company is
capitalized at $1,5O0,0OO, and claims to
have $l,O0O,00O invested in stock, ma
chinery and plant at Alexandria which
covers 80 acres and is n complete rail
and steel concern. They located at Alex
andria for bonus of $175,0OO and en-
ploy 1000 men when in full blast. 1t
seems that most of the plant was built
upon borrowed money, among the cred
itors being the Missouri Steel company
for $50,000, The financial agitation,
they claim, so pamlyzed business that
they were forced to close the plant and
have been unable to meet payments.

liabilities and assets are not known but
are not far, it is claimed, from $1,000,-

Purchasinc Power of Cheap money

Maj. Sanders, of Louisville who served
in the confederate army, recalls that in
January, 1865, he tried to buy hand
kerchief in Meridian, Miss, but found
he could not afford it, the price lin con-
federate money! having been $500, and
as a compromise he bought paper col
lar for $125. With gentlemen to whom
collars and handkerchiefs are super
fluffy such object lessons from the past
will have very little weight. The marvel
is that the imitation craze should have
got such hold upon the people of the
south, where the bitter experience with
confederate money should have lasted
for the present generation at least
