THE WAGON MOUND MURDER.

Additional facts seem to have de-
veloped in the murder OF Onisimo
Marez, zeal Wagon Mound. G. W.
Bond & Bro. had four herds, twelve to
fifteen miles northwest Of that town,
under charge of four m~ayordomos, and
OnIsimo Marez had an appointment
with them to visit the camps on
Friday, September 18th. They were
encamped within a radius of six to
eight miles, and Marez left Wagon
Mound for the camps in the afternoon.
About 4 O'Clock, he called at the house
of Francisquito, about five miles from
the nearest camp. just before sun
down, he reached the camp Of Sal
vador Garcia, and was invited to stay
for supper. He informed the herder
in charge that he wanted to reach he
camp OF one Pine, and SO would not
stay, lest night would overtake him
before he reached the camp; and he
started eff. neal shutdown, toward the
camp of Pro, about three miles dis
tant. Half a mile out, he descended
a hill, and was not seen alive after
ward.
Near shutdown, Pine and his herder
were in camp, and heard six shots
fired about q half mile distant, toward
the camp from which Marez was
coming. A small hill obscured the
place OF firing from Pino's camp.
At the place of firing, Marez was
evidently intercepted by two men,
armed and on horseback, and tracks
discovered show that, at this point, he
met two men on horseback and i'm
medlately fed, trying to get back to
Salvador Carcass camp.
These men evidently rode on each
sido OF him, one of them between him
and Plno's camp and the other between
Marez and Salvador's camp. The
tracks indicate that they pursued him,
one on each side, for over a quarter of
a mile, riding very near him and at
the place of the killing, circled around
between the deceased and the Salvador
camp and at that place came down on
him and shot him.
Shells we're found at this point near
the deceased and several shots must
have been fired. No firing was heard
at the place Of the killing. and Marez
must have been killed within hall or
three quarters of an hour after leaving
Salvador's camp and just after sun
down.
Judge Long, the district attorney,
spent Monday and Tuesday IN conduct
irg Investigations before the coroner's
jury at Wagon Mound and vigorous
steps are being taken to hunt up the
murdsrers. 1t seems like an outrage
on Justice that the authorities shoulo
be paralyzed 10 their efforts because
there is not a dollar of public bonds /
available to aid in tho Investigation.

A TRIBUTE TO MCKINLEY.

McKinley's long experience in public
life will be of advantage to him. Few
presidents have had so good schooling,
if we may so express it, for his office.
Mckinley was for several years IN the
midst of the active statesmanship OF
the national house of representative
1t can truly be said of him In this
connection, "aIl which he saw and
part of which he was" His opinion
was sought and his Judgment deferred
to in this experience above that OF the
average of his associates. If he did
not obtain the reputation of so accom-
plished a man intellectually as Gar
field, or so impress those about with
his individuality as did Reed, he was
estimated as a man OF unusually we'll
balanced mind and excellent command
of such faculties as he had been en-
dowed with by nature. He grew IN
the exercise of these. 1t was not by
accident that he was selected from
others to be the candidate for the
presidency. We shall be told that his
associations with the tariff bill that
bears his name made this. Admit it,
and we have gone but one step. The
next point is, how did he become as
ISOLATED with the tariff bill? 1t was
because the confidence of his fellow
members had given him the first place
in the house after the speaker5hlp.
He would have been speaker had not
Thomas B. Reed been in the conf
dence of the members. There were
probably other members of the house
who were the equals of Mckinley in
intellectual endowment. He rose above
them because he had better profted by
his opportunities in fitting himself for
the work of practical craftsmanship,
and securing a reputation for reliable
judgment.-Boston Herald.

STATE PATRONAGE.

There is no danger of federal offices
in Texas going begging. Chairman
Green has already received applica-
tions for nearly every one of them, and
he has in all instances made reply that
no applicant will receive his indorse-
ment until after the inauguration of
the incoming administration, but that
this need not preclude Office seekers
from sending in testimonials, autobio-
graphies, etc. The applications, with
accompanying papers, are jacketed,
briefed and fled in a cabinet to be
taken up and considered at the proper
time. l called at his Office today and
found his private secretary at his desk
with upward of a hundred letters in
front of him.
Mr.. Green, upon his return from New
Orleans, will Immediately call his ad-
visory board together to consider
contests over senatorial districts and
county chairmanships and whatever
the board may recommend for the good
of the party. To the few who are sup
posed to be opposed to Mr.. Green, the
objects of the advisory board, like the
history of the ancient Britains, are in
volved in doubt and obscurity. but tn e
big chairman has stated publicly that
his purpose is to deal fairly and to that
end he wants matters properly inves-
tigated. 1t certainly can Re said of
him that he exercised a great deal of
consideration for the cOntending fac
tions in the formation of his board.
While not making it so large as to be
unwieldly, he yet desired it to be rep
resentative and not fractional. OF it's
members Thos. Mcconnell of Sunset,
Harry Harris of Gatesville and w. NJ.
O'Leary of Dallas are ex-Union SOL
diers; Jas. O. Luby of San Diego is a
gallant ex-confederate soldier. The
younger generation is represented by
Eugene Marshall of Dallas, M. @. McLe
more of Galveston and DIR. G. G.. Cliff
ord of San Antonio. w. G.. Burkitt of
Palestine, is capitalist and railroad
contractor, and w. G. Barton of Terrell
a prominent farmer. Regarding align
ments before the national convention,
four members of the board were Nc
Kinley men, four Reed men and one
was an Allison man.
This would appear to be good dis
tribution in the interest of harmony,
for while all those men were active
regulars in the recent campaign none
of them had been identified to a notice
able extent with any insurrectionary

movement within the party. 1t is un-
derstood that a straight tip was receiv-
ed from the republican national com
mittee that an advisory board was the
best possible method for disposing of
such troublesome matters as contests.
1t was also learned that Mark Hanna
had not turned his eyes away from
Texas politics, but is so well satisfied
with the results here that he has wish
ed the organization kept intact and
promises cooperation in the futu re
movements of the party. He will send
political literature to Chairman Green

Will Soon Be Produced Direct from
Coal.
One of the greatest problems of the
end of the century-hOw TO derive cleo
tricity direct from Goals, in the light
of recent discoveries, Il stage nearer so
luton. The work of DR.. jacques in this
direction, which has received the rec
Ognition of the highest scientific author
tiles, has been lately called in question
on the ground that reports on the
efficiency of his process We're based on
the amount of carbon consumed within
the pots, and no data have been given
Us TO the amount of coal consumed upon
the CRATE, or the power necessary to run
the air pump-factories which might
greatly modify the commercial efficiency
of the apparatus when put into use.
DR.. Jacques has now effectually an
swered these criticisms in 4 complete
story of the invention. He proves that
the phenomenon exhibited, i. e., the
generation Of the current, was not due
to thermo-electric action, but to the
chemical combination of oxygen with
carbon to form carbOnic acid. He also
demonstrates that under proper condi-
tons the electrical energy obtainable
OAiI OAlN VI IAAC l4Ni a lOi > - 81
TALLY equal to the potential energy Of
the weight of carbon consumed with the
pot. The invention is not yet by any
means perfected. As compared with
modern steam engines, only relatively
small carbon electric generators have as
yet been built; and with this generator.
as with the steam engine, increased size
means increased efficiency per pound of
coal, particularly in the coal consumed
in the CRATE. y twO-horse power car
bon electric generator. in an occasional
use over period of six months, gave an
electrical efficiency of 30 per cent. of
that theoretically obtainable This
means an efficiency - times greater
than that of the average electric light
and power plant in use in this country.
and 40 times greater than plants OF cor
responding size. But while showing
these extraordinary results DR.. Jacques
comedies that many details have still to
be worked out, and many improvements
to be made before the carbon electric
generator can be put into general COM
mercial use on scale comparable with
that of the modern steam engine. The
data given. however, are most encOur-
aging to thOsc-and there are many
who regard the commercial obtaining of
electricity direct from coal as POSSIBLE
ity of the very near future. - Cincin-
