THE COUNTY SCHOOL HOUSES
PETITION OF TRUSTEES PRESENT
ED TO JUDGE VAsMER.
The Judge Immediately Ordered n
Special Session of the Commits
sioners Court for Monday.

The petition formulated at the meeting
OF the school trustees of the several rural
school districts held in Houston Monday
for the purpose of devsng some plan by
which the school houses could be rebuilt
and repaired, was submitted to County
Judge L. II. Vasmer yesterday. The pc
tition recites that many of the school
houses throughout the county were either
wholly or partially destroyed by the re-
cent storm and as a result the schools are
seriously crippled. Judge Vasmer was
urged in the petition to ca d special term
OF the commissioners court to consider
the matter and ascertain whether or no:
the county had authority 70 extend the
needed assistance
Upon the presentation of the petition
yesterday judge Vasfer Immediately or
dered a special term of the commissioners
court 10 convene Monday.
Being asked what he regarded would
probably be the actin OF the court in the
premises, Judge Vasmer replied that he
did n know ana added MY individual
view Is that there Is no authority in law
for the cOmm!s4ione to grant the relief
asked for. | called the commissioners to-
gether, regardless OF this belief because
| | didn't care TO rely upon nay own opinion
| IN the matter and would be very glad
II il could be shown that the county has
the legal right to take favorable action
on the petition

A SAD CASE OF DEMfNTlA
A YOUNG LADy's MIND Is WRECKED
IN CONSEQUENCE OF THE STORM.

One Of the saddest cases OF mind wreck

that CT Miss Autoinette Tucker, a daugh-
ter Of the late Philip c. Tucker OF Gal
weston. who stood high in the Masonic
fraternity In Texas.
Miss Tucker was not physically strong.
She was at Kerrvllle for her health when
she heard of the fearful storm at Gal
weston and Immediately attempted to
reach the stricken city to learn the fate
! OF her people.
! When she reached Houston and found
that she could not proceed TO Galveston
she at once associated herself with the
Masonic relief work in this city, acting as
secretary for the committee. Finally sac
was permitted to proceed TO Galveston,
ana Whiie she f1und the Immediate mem
! bers OF the family had been saved. with
the exception 4 the loss OF an aunt. what
sne saw in Galveston was more than her
mind could stand.
She returned to Houston completely
changed, in state OF absolute melan-
choy. She would speak to no one, take
no sustenance ana showed an absolute dis
regard for the future. Her conduct was
such that she was kept under close
espionage, but with that cunning, char
lactcrisdc Of mental alteration she eludei
those who were guarding her on Wednes-
day and made her escape.
A notice was printed In yesterdays Post
calling attention to the fact Of her disap-
pearance and stating that the last seen Of
her was at the city park AS she was
lost sight of there the natural suspicion
was that she had drowned In the bayou.
which runs through the park SO deep
raoted was this suspicion that several
parties were engaged in dragging the
bayou for the body.
But instead OF seeking a watery grave
the poor girl had crossed the bayou and
wandered into Glenwood cemetery. There
She remained until yesterday when she
was discovered by Captain William Chris
ti1n the receiver for the property. He
was driving through the grounds whea
his attention was attracted by a deep
moan ~ following The direction OF tnc

SENATOR HANNA,S WORK,
Says He Has Taken South Dakota Out OF
the Doubtful Column.

Chicago, Oct. 21.--Senators Hanna and
Frye arrived here this afternon from
Omaha, Neb., where last night the con-
cluding meetings were held of their
weeks touring of Minnesota, South Da-
kota and Nebraska. Senator Frye will
probably leave here tomorrow for New
York, while Senator Hanna will devote
most of the coming week to speechmak-
ing in Chicago with Joliet, ILL.,, and
Milwaukee, Wis, also in his itinerary.
Senator Hanna was almost worn out
from his weeks travelling and was suf-
fering considerably from rheumatism.
He was driven to his apartments imme-
diately on his arrival. Il have taken
South Dakota out of the doubtful col
umn," said Senator Hanna. There Is
no doubt in my mind that it's electoral
vote will be cast for Mckinley. OF
course my indications are all based on
the trip, but the immense welcome and
the warm greeting I received leave no
other opinion Personally, / thoroughly
believe Nebraska will also go for Nc
kinley."

A Disastrous Blaze in st. Paula Loss OF
5134,OOO.

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 21.-As a result
of fire which broke out in the slaugh-
tering pen of A. " Hinman & Co.'s

four firemen are dead and a number are
injured, and property to the amount Of
$134, 900 was consumed.
The dead: Second Assistant Fire Chief

M. Edney, Burt Irish, fireman; Louis
Wagner, fireman.
The injured-Andrew Johnson, was
taken from the ruins badly crushed;I
william Field, fireman, internal injur-
les; Thomas Clarkin, fireman. both legs
crushed.
The fire, which Is supposed to have
been of incendiary origin, spread with
great rapidity, famed by strong
southerly wind, and the firemen were
seriously handicapped by lack of water
and further by the fact that the long
bridge over the railway tracks, which
furnished access to the scene Of the
confiagTation was torn up for repairs
From the packing house the flames
spread to the warehouse of the North
western Line company, thence to the
Mccormick Harvester company's large
brick warehouse, filed with valuable
machinery. 1t was here that the fatal
tiles occurred.
