RUN TEXARKANA.
Resisted the Officers and Angry Cit

Little Rock. Ark. Jan. S1.-A special
to the Gazette from Texarkana, Ari--,
says: There passed through Texar-
kama today eight trainloads of negro
soldiers. 1.20O in number, composing the
Tenth United States cavalry, en- route
TO San Antonio. When they arrived
here they were a drunken mob, and
an effort was made by them to tear W
the town. A number of colored soldiers
kicked in 4 door and entered a resort
and started to run the place at the
point Of loaded rifles. Constable James
Rochelle was called to the place after
they had broken up the furniture :

Every car window held q drunken ne

guns had been stuck in the officers
face the negro escaped into the cars.
The news spread, and every officer in
Texarkana and hundreds of citizens
flOcked around the neSro soldiers. who
seemed anxious for trouble. County At

in communication with the governor

PANIC ON MINING EXCHANGE
COLLAPSE OF ISABELLA BOOM
AT DENVER.
Stock Dropped From S1.S0 to S1.3o
and $4,000 Shares Were I'm
loaded-May Go Up Today.

Denver. Colo. Jan. 31.-The recent
discovery of wonderfully rich ore in
the property of the Isabella Gold Min
ing company at Cripple Creek has
caused the greatest excitement on the
mining stock exchanges of this city,
Colorado Springs and Cripple Creek
that has been seen for a number OF
years. The stock of this company,
which six weeks ago was quoted at p
cents a share, sold on the exchanges
yesterday at $50, having jumped 80
cents in two days. This morning signs
of a reaction were apparent when the
exchange opened. The first sale of Isa-
bella was at $780, and at once the pan
ic began. There We're many buyers,
but offerings were too heavy for them,
and the price gradually sunk to $l.49
share at the close of the first call.
When the second call opened there
was q further decline and the panic
continued, the last sales being at $l.2912
G7.5O. The sales today were 12l, OOO
shares.
Tonight here is a great diversity of
opinion rs to the action of the stock
tomorrow, many declaring that the bear
has done its worst, and II is
predicted that the next upward turn
will carry the stock to $500. This IS
based on the claim that the mine has
s., OO0, 600 worth OF ore, running $1,000 in
gold to the ton, now in sight. The
company is capitalized at S2,25O,O0Q
The excitement on change, which
has been entirely due to the Isabella
strike, has been largely confined TO that
stock, though several other gold stocks
have been influenced sympathetically.
The fluctuations were, for the most
part within narrow limits.

in keeping with the sentiments express
ed by Joseph w. Bailey and other lead
ing Democrats. There Will be few, il
any, southern Democratic votes against
Roberts, and. as more than one-third
of the members of the house of repre-
sentatiVes are southern Democrats, eX-
pulsion cannot carry. Of course, all
other efforts, except at expulsion, are
impracticable.
The most recent attempt to deprive
the Utah congressman Of his seat is the
ridiculous proposition of Clark of Iowa.
His idea is that the present congress
ought to pass a retroactive law, max
ing polygamists ineligible to congress-
1t is sufficient to say that this absurd
measure viii never get out of the pig
eon-hole in which it is now sleeping
It's author, however, has been trying
very hard to get a little temporary
glory out of this bill, and has had two
or three interviews in the local papers
calling attention TO his remarkable so
luton of the Mormon question.
