Grant the Winner,

A st. Louis Republic special from
Washington says:
National Committeeman Grant. of
Texas. was feeling very good. There
has been the hottest kind of contest
between him and Ned Green over the
post offices at Paris and Beeville. The
postmaster at Paris died a natural
death, and the postmaster at Beeville
killed himself. Grant and Green have
been fighting ever since over these va
cancies.
Il win,' said Grant this evening
The president has appointed my men
to- both offices. Patrick B. Gibbon
will get the Paris office and John w.
Bell the Beeville office. Both are my
friends. The president appoiu ted
them this Afternoon, and at the next
session of the senate he will send in
their nominations. There are very
few vacancies in the Texas post offices,
but Whenever any occur l will try to be
on ha3d and sea that they are filed
with the right men,"
MCKinley's selection of Gibbons and
Bell is an indication that Grant will
get the bulk of the Texas patronage.
Green has not returned to Washington,
bat his friends, who are in town, say
he is due now at any time.

DEMOCRATIC LOVE FEAST.
The Clans Gathered to Ratify the Action of
the Ward Heelers

One of the quietest love feasts that
ever gathered in the Ell Paso court
house was that, that mingled there
last night under the mon de plume" of
democratic convention, but which
was in fact simply Il ratification meet
ing to ratlfy the acts of the ward heel
erS.
The only thing that married the
happiness of the feast was when the re-
firing chairman, John H. Harper, got
up to deliver his set valedicto " to the
Ell PaSO democrats. HIS little ia k
started Off smoothly to tel all the good
things about the democratic party and
if he had stopped there he might have
had some future show with the demo-
cratic ward heelers of Ell Paso, but be
didn't; he went right ahead and told
them about their vote buying proclivi-
ties. He heapei Goals of fire on the
democratic heads, and Charley Patter-
son fairly squirmed and itch-d for the
chairman to quit talking before he said
too much against democratic methods
as carried on in Ell Paso. Jim Burns
sat in his SC at in the second ward divi-
sion and was as stolid as plaster paris

RAMBLING NOTES.

In the first ward the democrats have
had trouble. Harry ChAnnan was the
first favorite for alderman from that
ward, but Joe Sweeney kept aggitat'ng
so much THAI they got afraid that Har-
ry could not pull through. so they
began talkiog about George Look.
Just as soon as Harry heard that
George Look was being talked of TO
make the race he swore off and said he
would not be candidate: that all the
way he would accept the candidacy was
for him to be nominated without d
struggle. THIS settled the matter as
far as Harry was concerned ana George
Look was put in his place.

smoke on the inside. The man went IN
and soon returned. saying there was no
one in there. Charley Dunn corrobo-
rated DR.. Ke'ly's testimony, but said
that the man who met DR.. Kelly jumped
off d wagon in front of the store and ran
around the house. Dr.. Kelly said that
a window pane il the front window had
been broken out, apparently from the
inside as the glass lay outside on the
front gallery. He also said that the
broken pane of glass left enough room
for a person to pass in and out of the
hole.
Charley Dunn said that everything
was taken out of the back room. The
effects taken out were cot, trunk,
some meu's clothing and big oil tank.
He said he went into the wine room on
the left side of the building and there
was nothing but chairs and table in
there. He tired to get into the trout
room but the smoke was too dense and
he had to get out. He did not go into
the wine room where the body was
found. Mr.. Dunn said he sme'led no
kerosene in The building. Damn said
that Juan Lava helped in the work
with the others present. Mr.. Rhotan
testified that the clothes taken from
the burning building were those worn
by Shorty Anderson on the night be-
fore the fire He was at the sore at
$40 and Shorty was then sober and
wearing the clothes taken from the
building.
The people living near the burned
building state that there was no nose
around the building that night and
! that verything was quiet from little
after 9 o'clock until day light.
Four men have been arrested and
are under suspicion of Knowing some
thing about the affair. Three of the
men are Mexicans and the other an
Americ ana tramp. ALI that is known
against the tramp is thai he was in
East Ell Paso begging for something to
eat The three Mexicans are Joe
Cooper and the two he i'm plica ted yes
terday as being the authors of the
murder.
These parties will have prelimin airy
examination tomorrow morning at IL
o'clock.
The police are now working on some
other clues but nothing of Importance
has yet developed.
The police arrested man today
whom they think knows something OF
the murder of Shorty Anderson, bu,
the prisoner is kept closely confined
and no one is allowed to see him. They
do not think the man arrested guilty OF
the murder but they believe he knows
enough to get on the trail OF the
parties who did commit the Eurder.

and Vassar graduate left this afternoon
on the Southern Pacific continuing her
concert tour westward.
The remainder of the entertainment
was certainly interesting. 1t included
the first appearance in this city of +.
M. RhOmberg formerly of the mandolin
orchestras OF Signor Tonaso and Mr..
Hayes in Chicago. Mr.. RhOm berg
used $3.50 mandolin. and his per-
Torrance was one of the most artistic
ever given in this city: and the fact
that he is the leader of the McGiuty
mandolin quartet gives promise OF
finer music than ever from that Orga-
nization. MIR. Rhomberg also plays
! second oboe in the McGipty band, and
is mar ked and valuable addition to
the local mlsical community.
The rich, heavy contralto of Miss
Ullman was as welcome as ever, as was
also the soprano of Miss Shelton. The
ease with which these ladies take their
tones their graceful manner of singing,
and fine quality of voice, have always
made them favorites The duo between
Miss Windsor and Mr.. Beach was re-
ceived with prolonged applause that
called for an encore. But the twain
contented themselves with "appearing
| before the curtain" Mr.. Beach making
a bow that we'll nigh swept the floor
| with his long, flowing foot ball hair.
| Miss Windsor is a sprightly, active
| girl of pleasing stage manners, and is
always well received. Mr.. Beach, as
| has been stated before, is an unusually
promising tenor. He is also ready in
spirit and responsiveness, two things
| that so many tenors sadly lack. His
voice last night was sweet and clear.
Two years training under some no ed
and competent teacher like George
Sweet would work wonders with that
young man.
There was but one thing to mar the
pleasure of the evening. In sendin =
his colored gentleman on the stage to
move the piano around, Mr.. Walz neg
lected to see that be was dressed in the
natty sweater with Niagara Falls col
lar that usually distinguishes the young
| man as he flies in metOric flight across
the visual ornament during the day on
his speedy bike. Please MIR. Wall, do
not let this omission occur again.
