London May 8.—A meeting of the Con-
servatives was held in London Sunday
Ians, of Jefferson.
Laws were passed for the government
ot the organization in Texas,with rnstruc-
ti ns to the printer to turnish the differ-
ent branches of the order in the state
with copies of the same; also urging the
establishment ot a sinking fund tor the
payment ot benefits.
The council, after some further busi-
ness, adjourned to meet in 1884, unless
sooner called tosether by the president.
After the adjournment the delegates,
with the invired guests,were banqueted by
Rev. Father Theon Mast.
The attendants on the council leave for
their several homes to-night.

Sir Stafford Northcote said he doubted
whether the government would proclaim
martial law, but if they did they might
reckon on the support of the Conserva-
tives.
London, May 8.—The cabinet decided
to adjourn the house of commons to-day,
alter the allusion to the recent murder.
London, May 8.—The Times says it is
now thought that Lord Fredrick Caven-
dish and Mr. Burke were both deliberate-
ly selected for assassination. During the
procession in Dubiin on Saturday a man
inquired three times whether Lord Fred-
rick Cavendish was in the pro ession.
The chief secretary at last lifted his hat
and told his name. The man replied,
“Thank you, that will do.” Two men on
horseback also watched the procession in
a suspieious'manner. There were eight
gaping wounds on the body of Lord Cav-
endish, and eleven on that of Under Secre-
tary Burke. A special messenger left
London for Dublin hastily this a. m.
Boston, Mass., May 8.—The following
this a. m., was cabled to Parnell: Re-
ward of $50,000 (10,000 pounds) is hereby
offered by the Irishmen of Boston, for the
apprehension of the murderers, or any of
them, ot Lord Frederick Cavendish and
Mr. Burke, on Saturday, May 6th.

Earl Spencer had arranged on Saturday
to release all the suspects except eighty,

A Terrible Cyclone at McAllister Mines-
Eight Men Killed and Forty Wounded.

Denison, May 9,1882.
There was a terrible cyclone at McAl-
li ter mir.es, Indian Territory, last night.
Foil details are not obtainable, as the
wires are terribly broken up, and travel
partially suspended. Two storms of tri-
angular shape one from the southeast,
from near Paris, Texas, and one from
the southwest from the vicinity of Fort
Worth, Texas, and centered at
McAllister mines, Indian Territory.
Every building was demolished. Reports
conflict about the loss of life and casualth s,
but the lowest estimate is eight killed out- I on Tuesday,
right and forty wounded. Many of the New York, May 8.—The Evening Post,

that the Calamity is much greater than uers in America, and in England, in offer-

A Matinee.
After the storm Monday night a little
matinee was given on Houston street,
for the benefit of ehildern and policemen.
We were not furnished with a dead-head
ticket of admission, and hence, were not
present during the performance, but from
those who occupied front seats we get the
following fragments of the programme :
It .seems that a man named Duke was
on his way home, and it also seems that
Duke was setting a bad example by car-
rying on or about his person, a
certain bottle which contained strong
drink.. Now Duke was feeling remarka-
bly well; in fact he imagined that he was
a regular “Big Injun, heap” of a tellow,
and so, when he met a youth who ten-
dered' him a little “sass,” he drew his
bottle and put a head upon that youth, of
exceeding great size, and grevious to be
borne. Then a young man who was
friendly to the youth took the floor and ad-
dressed a yery forcible argument to Duke.
It was a regular knock down argument.
Duke was duly stowed away in a gutter
filled with mud and water, and he was du-
ly packed dowu with clivers and for-
cible blows. Then a man named Brown
said he wanted seme of that in his’n,and
so he bristled up to the young man who
had so effectua"y settled Duke. Brown
soon made an impression upon the ground,
and this young man sat upon him and did
him hurt. Brown was released on parole
but immediately became beligerant again,
and the sidewalk was again mopped with
his body. Brown’s clothes seem-
ed to suffer, for the police
told that when they got there, he had
on nothing but a soiled collar. “What
was Duke doing,” we asked, “while the
sidewalk was being injured by coming in
contact with Brown’s body?” “Duke!
oh, he was gathering up the pieces and
collecting himself together, getting ready
to be taken home. H^ is now lying up
for repairs.” w
We apologize to some of the parties en-
gaged in the matinee for not mentioning
their names. We were unable to get them
trom the secretary. It is due the entire
troop, however, to state that they played
their several parts well.
And, alas 1 the merchant’s clerk
often shakes off that listless in-
difference, and wonders in his
mind, as he unfolds the tape,
whether he shall ever rise in his
profession, or simply be an incu-
bus upon the efforts of others.

says the Dublin crime will be regarded as

it was in consequence of that letter that
the recent approach to a conciliation was

New York, May 9.—Argument was I made. Gladstone, to-day, replying to the
heard to-day in the supreme court on the condoiences of the marquis ot Ripon,

The court room was crowded, Scoville

Townsend, and near by was Jno. W. Gui-
teau and his lawyer and Jas. Armstrong.
The latter read the return of Jno. W.
Guiteau to the writ. The return denies
that Mrs. Scoville is in the custody of, or
article. It says the American Fenians had
made no secret of their design. There
were special grounds for thinking that
some piece ot ferocity on their part had
for a long time been close at hand, and
prospect of a pacification of the country
was calculated to disgust the extreme
Fenians. It is probably rough to think they
had drawn lots lor an attempt on the
restrained by, Jno. W, Guiteau ol her lib- 0f Forster, but had been baffled, and
erty, and says he does not know of her
whereabouts, and therefore he could not
produce her in court.
Mr. 1'ownsend then made application to
have the return traversed, and read an af-
fidavit ot Scoville. in which the latter still
declares himself of the belief (hat his wife
is in Jno W. Guiteau’s custody.
Scoville was called and testified to the
wearing effect of the trial upon his wife,
to her strange actions, her talk of her
brother’s case, and to her saying to wit-
ness that she thought he had ceased to
care fbr her, her leaving home and com-
ing to this city, and certain other facts
given in traverse to the return were also
elicited in the testimony. Witness said
he saw John W. Guiteau in a store house,
and the latter said he had heard that wit-
ness was going to put Mrs. Scoville in a
lunatic asylum, and that he (Guiteau)
the change in the policy of the govern-
ment made them more resolute in their
determination to establish a bloody feud
between Ireland and England. There is
every sign that these odious calculations
will be balked. The atrocity of the crime
will for the moment rally the Irish to the
side of order. Nothing makes this more
certain than that the policy ©f arbi-
trary arrest has been abandoned.
The general tone of the Irish press is most
reassuring, outside liberal organs fa-
vor a retreat from the new policy in Ire-
land. The extreme nationalists lead the
way in denouncing the crime. The Times
stands absolutely alone in an attempt to
turn this appalling catastrophe into a cal-
uminous personal attack and an infamous
attempt to inflame the national passions.

Parliamentary Daw.
The introduction of a few copies of
some standard work on parliamentary
custom, would prove a valuable addition
to the literature of our city. Visit almost
any deliberative body that assembles in
the city, and you will find that about half
the time of that body is frittered away in
discussing matters upon which no one is
ready to act. When a member of any de-
liberative assembly wishes to discuss a
matter, he should make a motion, oroffer
a resolution to do something, and
after that motion has been duly
seconded, then and not till then,
is there any sense in squandering
eloquence on the matter. Of course
every one understands this, but every one
does not act upon this principle, and
hence a great deal of valuable time is
consumed and this article perpetrated. If
we had the honor of occupying the exalt-
ed position of president of a de-
bating society, or was chairman of a wo-
man’s rights company, or in fact it we
could get to preside over any assembly,
and some member got up and began
to rattle off chin-music when
there was no proposition before the house,
we’d try to hammer sail member dowu
with our official gavel, and if this failed,
we’d dispatch the sergeant-at-arms out to
borrow a base ball club, and we’d see if
we couldn’t call the gentleman to order
with that.
We heard it reported yesterday that
Max Elser, after attending the first coun-
cil me* ting, went directly and ordered six
copies of a work on the subject alluded
to, and that he had run the price of them
away up. We investigated the matter
and found it to be a base slander.

to be the choice of Governor Roberts and

member of the same firm, is at present

From the’ “Dark Corner.”
“Dark Corner,” Tarrant County,
May 4, 1882.
Editor Democbat- Advance :
No rain yet in this region, and I think
the man who first called a farmer “clod-
hopper” must have experienced some-
thing like this, only he should have put
it “jumper” instead of “hopper.” Last
spring early your Johnson Station cor-
respondent begged you and your force
to get down on your “a 1 fours” and
pray that it would not rain
any more “until Uncle Fayette got his
corn planted.” Now, 1 fear you over-
done the thing, and I wifi ask you to
please change your supplications, especial-
ly for the “Dark Corner,” and pray that
the gentle showers may not cease until the
last “big clod” is soaked through. Tell
your candidates they had better provide
themselves with ample “haversacks” be-
fore visiting this region, as fears are en-
tertained that what we live on would not
sustain a city man until he could make
the round. He might feed a family oc-
casionally thereby making votes. An
idea! No worms, no bread, but little
meat and crops only tolerable.

Since writing the above we have had a
good rain, and the prospect brightens for
bread.
1 learn that a thief entered the house of
our bachelor friend,(J. E. W.) a few days
since and carried off his last “Sunday
suit.” He keeps a patent burglar-proof
lock on his door, now. Methinks I hear
a dark-eyed beauty,some time gone out of
her teens, say with a sigh, “good for him,
for he ought to have somebody to take
care of his clothing for him while he is
building up his fortune.” I say she is a
sensible lady, for I’d rather be any other
animal than a bachelor. Citizen,
Dark Corner.

Editor Democbat-Advance :
To-day closes the fourth week of our
district court here. This week has been
devoted to civil business. Among other
important cases tried was the case of
Rachel Devore, et ai, vs, Wm. Crowaer,
et al,which was a suit brought by plaintiffs
in the ordinary form of trespass, to try
title for 1280 acres of land sold at tax sale
in 1878, for taxes of 1877, bringing direct-
ly in issue the tax titles. After a trial of
one and a half days the case was submit-
ted to the jury, about 6 o’clock this eve-
ning, and in about ten minutes they re-
turned a verdict for the defendants,_ thus
holding tax titles good. This is the
first case, known to your correspondent,
tried in this district, directly involving
the validitv of tax titles.
We have had several light showers ot
rain this week ; it is raining at this writ-
ing (9 o’clock p.m ), and the prospects are
good for a general good rain. It is very
much needed and will be a God-send to
the farmers.
Wheat harvest has begun, some wheat
already harvested; with good rain the
crop prospect will be very good.
The fruit prospect good. Corn and
cotton looking well. Yours, etc.,
Nap,
Stephenville, May 6,1882.
