BELMONT OIL FIELDS.
Standard Oil Company Has Purchased
 Railroad Terminals.

Beaumont Texas April 2s.-The Beau mont oil Exchange today posted the statement that the Standard Oil Company had purchased the railroad terminals. which has special facilities at Port Ar thur The price was not given. Port Ar thur is the nearest deep water port to the Beaumont oil field. and by controlling this outlet the Standard oil Company can control every barrel of oil taken from the Beaumont field. The railroads connot compete in freight rates with pipe line via Port Arthur to New Orleans and Gal yeston Thus owning Port Arthur, the Standard oil Company will control even the domestic trade in crude oil. No one here ever doubted that the Standard Oil Company would ultimately get control of this oil field, but no one appears to have foreseen the purchase of Port Arthur by the company.

 He then escaped in the darkness but was captured the next day. He was tried for assault on United States mail agent and sentenced to five years in the peni- tentiary Then. in September, 1900, he was tried on the more serious charge of assault upon a railroad train with intent to commit a felony.

President Lincoln. One of the secrets of the time is that the several Senators and Representatives from the South attempt ed to involve him in a plot to prevent the counting of the vote and the declara- ton of Lincoln's election. Although his sympathies were with the South Colonel Breckeridge refused to permit this act of revolution, but shortly after left the Sem ate to which he had been elected by the

 The Democratic party is the party of progress. It will succeed. as Tilden said, when it has the courage to be demo- cratic.
 The recent municipal elections In the West have driven that lesson home for the hundredth time. After eight years of wandering among blind trails of re- trogression, each leading to staggering defeat, the Democracy turns to the front and finds victory.
 The men who led the triumphant Democracy in Cleveland. in Chicago. In Toledo and in a dozen other cities were alive themselves and made their cam paigns on live issues.

COTTON CONSUMED
 BY ANGRY FLAMES The Railroad Compress and a
 1000 Bales Destroyed ESTIMATED LOSS S45,000 Fire Was First Discovered on the Plat form, But Its Origin Is Unknown.
 The Company Carried Ma
 rine Insurance.
ESTIMATED LOSS s45,OOO

The shed and platform of the railroad compress at Avenue A and Thirty-fifth street was burned yesterday morning, and more than thousand bales of cot ton either entirely destroyed or badly damaged. The total damage is estimated at 45,O0O
 The fire was first discovered at g o'clock. At that time it was burning at the lower part of the platform to one side of the main building, but before the fire department could hardly begin work ing the flames had covered almost the entire platform. In answer to the alarm the Avondale fire department, the South ern Railway shops department and two city departments responded with appa- ratus and hose.
 In short time several lines of hose had been put in play and water was simply poured upon the fire. Captain Bennett of the Five Points department was in charge of the fighting forces, and by continuous hard work succeeded in three hours time in getting the fire un- der control.
 Water was thrown on the cotton with out seeming effect. as the flames would eat deeper and deeper into the very heart of the bales as the streams poured The buildings of the company were saved and considerable portion of the cotton rolled to one side

5000 Bales About Shed.

About the compress scattered on the platform were from 32O0 to $500 bales of cotton. and when the firemen first reached the place the flames had covered about 800 bales. Before the effect of the water could be made to show itself, the flames had lickd up that entire number and bad ly damaged about 300 more The exact number cannot be told until all the bales can be counted and checked.
 Superintendent Stevenson of the com press estimates the damage at $45, 900. The company is protected by marine insur- ance policy, and an adjuster will come here at once to arrange for the payment of the loss.
 The Railroad Compress Company is an incorporation. It's president is J. H. Coughlan. The secretary and treasurer is w. D. Nesbitt The company will at once rebuild the portion of platforms and sheds destroyed.
