A TEXAS TRAGEDY.

TEOy have lively times down at
Waco, Texas, these "prosperity"
days. On NUvem Der 10Th street
duel took place in that city between
Judge G.. b. Gerald, on the one
side, and Editor j. w. Harris, Of
the Morning Times HeralH, and
his brother, ". A. Harris, on the
other side. The editor opened the
battle By firing at the Judge, who
is All old veteran and fighter. He
returned the fire, killing Harris,
and about that time the latter's
brother appeared and opened on
the Judge from another direction,
but was also killed by the Judge.
The latter was badly hurt and shot
in two or three places. One arm
had to be amputated, but at last
accounts he was still living.
The trouble grew out of the row
between Brann's IcOnOclast and
Baylor University. The former is
q very able paper published in
Waco, and the latter is Baptist
College located there. There seems
70 have besu considerable misman-
agement Of its affairs and serious
scandal at the institution, which
was exposed by the IcouOclast. The
Tunes Herald defended the school
and opposed Brann's criticisms,
and Judge Gerald Is friend and
champion OF the editor OF the
Ic0HOclast, who is laid up for re-
pairs from being lnObbed and near
" killed by q lot Of rowdics from
the University. The editor Of the
IcOu0clast ia about the brightest
writer We know Of, and has the
6nest command OF sarcastic super
Htives o. any reporter CT editor ln
America The late Charles A..
Dana, of Che New York SIM, was

WORSE AND MORE or IN.
The Latest Monthly Monumental
Mistake Under the Reign OF
George Wesley. the First,
(And Last


Governor Atkinson is Just now
IN another bad muss and getting
criticised from Dan to Beersheba
and several other outlying PROV
inces for his latest break, which
seems to be worse than any pre-
vious blunder. AZ has been here
tofore published in these columns
the Governor long since made way
with his contingent fund OF sl2, 900
allowed him by the Legislature for
incidental expenses not specially
provided for IN the appropriations
for other departments, such as work
and repairs around the State house
grounds, trips Of the Governor and
staff and TO pay expenses for bring
ing back fleeing criminals where re.
questions IRE required, etc.
But 1t seems tho Governor and
his gorgeous stat spent most of
tins fund in excursions to New
York, Chicago, Columbus, Nash
vile and other places here they
cut quite dash. Heretofore SO.
600 Is the most that was ever an
prlated for this Fund, but 1t was IN.
creased to s12, 1000 by the last Leg
slature, but even this didn't last
George Wesley very long, and re-
Gently when bills came in for pay
ment by the Auditor that official
decided, after consulting with the
Attorney General, that all expenses
for bringing back criminals who
had fed from the State could only
be paid from the contingent fund,
and so notified the Governor. The
latter at once took issue with the
Auditor, and declared that he
wanted that fund for other pur-
poses, and that he would not Issue
any more requisition papers then
at all, and refused to do so In sew
eraI cases. With Prosecuting AZ
torney Lazellc, of Monongali4 coun.
tY, for one, who wanted IL criminal
that had fed into another State.
The matter has been published for
and near that any crime can be
committed in West Virginia and if
the criminal can get out of The
State he Is safe from punishment,
AS there Is no authority or pay for
bringing him back. The papers
have roasted the Governor so for
this, his last monthly monumental
mistake, that he came down the
! tree little, and it is announced
that th9 conflict Of authority be
tween the Governor and The Audi
+ tor has been settled, and that re-
QUESTIONS for fleeing criminals will
be granted upon the payment OF a

the necessary papers, buJ be ofIi
GERS Will have to pay AL the tx,

lature and waiting two yenrs for

A knights Of Pythias lodge is
being organized at FellowsvilIe,
and they are trying to get ready
for institution about Christmas.
Deputy Sheriff Girls Ridenour is
taking great interest in working
the matter up. 1t Is likely that
the degree work will be done by
teams from Damon Lodge, Of New
burg; River City Lodge, from Row
lesburg, and Brown Lodge, from
Kingwood, the team from each
lodge, working one degree. The
prospect is good for a splendid
lodge at Fellowsville, as there is a
good section to draw from around
there, Evansville, Marques and
Sinclair all being near by villages
and good section of country be-
sides. There has also been consid-
cradle talk of organizing lodge Mt
TunpeltOn, as MIR. w. S. Taylor
the postmaster has been looking the

STATE LINE SURVEY.
Maryland Claims Forty square Miles
or Our Territory.

OF our TERRITORY.
The Geld work OF the STATE line
survey to settle on the lue between
West Virginia and Maryland has
been about completed. all but some
little side lines and corrections
along the main line and then the re-
ports will be made ready for the Su.
preme Court OF the United States.
Our part of the work was done
three years ago when j. K. Mon
roe had the matter in charge as
chief engineer Of the surveyors
corps. This time Maryland had
charge, and there were from ten TO
fifteen men in the camp all the
time under charge OF Chief Sur
yeyor Brown, of Oakland, and they
have been at it since August LIST.
aud it has been regular summer
outing for the boys camping out
with several tents well furnished,
with beds, stoves. furniture and u
frst-class culinary department un-
der charge Of a good cook. Mr..
Monroe has been with them all the
time AS the representative OF this
State. The MaryNnders claim q
big strip OF our territory, taking
about forty square miles from Pres
ton county aud the two pretty lit
tie towns Of Corinth and Cranes
vile, but we do not think their
claims Will stand. Mr.. Monroe is
preparing an elaborate report for
the Supreme Court, and he says
the line run by Maryland is abso
lutely incorrect and they have no
good grounds whatever for their
claims, and that the result Of this
survey just made is brought about
by beginning at the wrong point.
West Virginia is represented by
very able attorneys, and our people
need have no fear Of losing this big
strip of our valuable territory. 1t
will likely be a year or two yet be-
fore the matter is finally settled.
The dispute over the line dates
back to the days before the war,
when what is now West Virg MIA
was part of the Old Dominion.
The line which was established by
the survey Of 1859 has been con
sidered the correct Que, though
occasional disputes have arisen.
BY the new survey West Virginia
loses u strip about two miles wide
and running the entire length Of
Preston county. The oh boundary
intersected Mason and Dixon's line
near Markleysburg, in Fayetto
county, bnt the new survey shifts
this almost two miles west. If the
new survey is permitted to stand
many West Virglnians will be com
PEELED to transfer their allegiance
to Maryland, and lot of trouble
will ensue over the transfer Of
titles to land.

The storm Thursday evening was
an exception in several respects. 1t
never rained harder and the size oil
the hail stones was exceptional. The
streets were badly washed but as
the dust was carried away there are
some redeeming features to this.
Many of the sewer openings were
closed by the sudden rush Of refuse
and the streets we're badly flooded.
Madagan's beef shop caught tor
rent and when the storm was over
about eighteen inches Of water stood
over the floor. Gardens and pIowed
fields were badly washed aud many
apples and other fruits knocked OIL
by the hail.
OLp Enoch Terkey, who lives on
Kincheloe creek, in Harrison coun-
tn. is seventy six years old, and has
been fifer since boy Of sixteen.
Long years before the war he served
as fifer boy for the state militia,
and was also fifcr during the
civil war, being in .Jackson's brig
adc. He Was fifcr at the battle OF
Gettysburg. Notwithstanding his
age, Saturday he marched in line
with the Custer Post OF the Grand
Army OF tho Republic, 1T Clarlks-
burg, and played on the same fife he
used sixty years ago. He was q
soldier ii the f>0nf1<lernfe army.
