pointed by Governor Savers to repre-
sent Ell Paso county at the Southern in

Orleans from the 4th to the 9Th Of De-

ter from the secretary of the associ-
alton at New Orleans:
NEW ORLEANS, LA, Nov IL, 1890.
c. r. Morehead, Esq, Ell Paso. Texas:
Dear Sir-His excellency, Governor
Savers. of your state informs me that
gates from Texas to the Southern In
dustriai convention, which will be held
in this city December to next l
am pleased to enclose herewith the
official programme and invitation,
from which you can gather something
of the scope and Importance of this
prospective gathering. It should pos
sess great interest to every proppect-
ivec itizen of the south, and I trust it
will thus impress you, for Texas is an
empire in herself and should at least
manufacture her own cotton by her
own people, but with the wealth of her
other resources, no state in the Union
should lead her in the industrial pro-
gress of her people T.
The governor desires that I urge
you strongly to attend, and if you are
unable to do so, that l authorize you
to appoint suitable proxy who will
attend. and this I am pleased to do.
Not only this. but you are further au-
thorized to extend invitations to any
and all others whom you may desire.
They will be welcomed.
The railroads of Texas have granted
a rate of one fare plus 50 for the round
trip. but advise you to see your agent
at once and have him obtain definite
instructions about rates. if he has not
yet received them
Hoping that you will come and bring
as many friends with you as possible
and help us make this what it should
be to the south. 1 am very truly yours,

MORRISON CASE.
Defendant Took the Stand In Her Own
 Behalf.

Eldorado, Kan, December Miss Nor rison took the stand in her own defense to- day and in quiet, self-possessed way told minutely of her relations with Olin Castle before his marriage and reviewed the scene at the Castle house during the bloody rough-and- tumble fight with Mrs. Castle. She proved an unexpectedly strong wit ness.
 Miss Morrison appeared in the witness chair pale and trembling and began her testimony with an effort. As she proceeded she gained confidence and related her story without hesitation. She denied most of the damaging testimony adduced by the prose- cution.
 She 1aty denied many of the statements made on the stand by Olin Castle and de- clared that he had tried to make Mrs. Cas- tie jealous and that Mrs. Castle had Haunt ed her husbands acts in her face. On the day of the tragedy, she declared, Mrs. Cas- tie had called her into the house as she was passing, had accused her of trying to separate her and Castle, and when she de- nied it. called her liar. Mrs. Castle had, the witness declared emphatically, begun the fight, slashing her with the razor again and again and compelling witness to attack her in self-defense.
