ARCHBOLD MAY
Be INDICATED
Test Vote Indicates Two
Thirds Will be Lacking.

Washington, Dec. lathe possible
ncquittal of Judge Robert w. Arch
bald has been foreshadowed. The first
approximately test vote was taken by
the senate sitting a. a court Of i'm
neachment. 1t related to the admis-
sibility of a question ~propounded by
the prosecution.
The question WAS pronounced com
petent by a vote of 20 to 25. A two
thirds vote is necessary to accomplish
the impeachment of Judge Archibald
The fact that such a small majority
was developed indicated that possibly
a similar ratio would prevail in the
final outcome. All the old guard voted
against admitting the question.
The question at issue was directed
by Christopher G. Boland. 1t was as
to whether George Nj. Watson. attor
ney for the Marion Coal company, In
q conversation with Bo!and told him
Judge Archibald was to receive u por
ton of the fee promised for settling
the differences between the coal con
Germ and the Delaware, Lackawannh
and Western railroad out OF court.
The admissibility of the question
had been at issue for several days
1t was bitterly contested on both sides
Long and final arguments were sub
mitted. The house managers declares
that this was the keystone of their
ease and that unless the question were
asked and answered their Ease would
suffer great detriment. 1t was neces
sary, they argued, to prove a con.
spiracy involving Judge Archibald.

'.DOC" HAS HARD TIME
GETTING MARRIED
A. J. Mccall, Who Was Married in
Houston Some Time Ago, Pulls
Off One.

A clipping taken from the Hous-
ton Post giving a description Of the
wedding ceremony of A. j. Mccall,
formerly well known real estate
man, was received here by one of
his numerous friends. From the
description "Doc" evidently had his
share of trouble furnishing his pres
ence at the ceremony. The Post has
the following to say of the affair:
A late train delayed wedding at
the Brazos hotel last night from 8
o'clock until o'clock this morning.
However, the bride and her friends
had waited patiently in the parlors
of the hotel and shortly after the
arrival of the Brownsville train, A..
u. Mccall, of Chicago, and Miss
Laura Best, Of Port Arthur, were
married, Rev. Mr.. Lockhart off1ciat-
ing.
Mr.. Mccall invited about eighty
of his Chicago friends to take a trip
to Texas with him in a special car,
and the party was brought to Hous-
ton on the preteXt that they were
coming to attend banquet. 1t was
said that none of them knew of the
wedding. The train was scheduled
to arrive at 1880 last night and yes
terday the bride and her father,
Captain H. F. Best, of Port Arthur,
took apartments at the hotel, and
last night everything was made
ready for the marriage and the table
set for 100 guests for the banquet.
The hours slipped by and the
groom did not arrive No word was
received and the train was reported
later and later at each inquiry. On
the train the groom became anxious
and it was said that he offered al
most fabulous sum to the engineer
if he would shorten the time and
reach Houston in time to have the
wedding.
However, the train did not arrive
until about 1890 o'clock and in a
very short time the wedding party
was completed and the marriage
ceremony performed.
Following the wedding the guests
seated themselves at the banquet ta-
BILE and fitting celebration Of sew
eral hours was the result. A menu
of seven courses was served, many
were the toasts offered to the young
couple and the late hour was forgot

DANCING SCHOOL
SEASON CLOSED
Brown & Keyes, the Popular Dane.
ing Teachers, Enjoy Profitable
Season.

Brown & Keyes closed their sea-
son Of dancing school and assemb-
lies with we'll attended party Fri
day evening at the armory. Kelly
Bros. orchestra of Usage furnished
music for the closing program.
Though the school and assembly Will
be discontinued for the present 1t is
probable that the dancing teachers
will hold dances through the sum
mer. The season just closed has
been the most successful since the
dancing firm started into business.
In all there are about one hundred
twenty-five people who have been
taught to trip the light fantastic.
Besides being a success for the man
ayers they have also accomplished
something In raising the standard
of dancing. In former years an or
chestra for dances did not pay out
and for that reason but few hops
with that kind OF music were offer
ed each season. However, with the
many new dancers this year music
by an orchestra has been possible
every week.
The dancing masters are already
arranging for music for the coming
year. Music from the class OF or
chestras secured by them must be
dated ahead. Owing to the success
of the school and assemblies this
year Messrs. Brown & Keyes promise
something new here for next year.
They are at present in correspond
ence with musical organizations ov-
err the country who do concert work
and also carry a dance orchestra.
Some of these larger orchestras
have already been signed up for
next season.
