of the 20th, day after the train robbery, ran as follows- " Did

Rev. Dr. J. R. Bryan, presiding elder of the Waco district of
the A. M. E. church, will hold his quarterly conference here, be-

E. D. Wallace, who lives on - Lit" Williams' farm said that
all of his cotton ginned at the Texas Pacific Mercantile and
Manufacturing company's gin has more than thirded itself; that
he gets a 540 pound bale out of t6oo pounds of seed cotton, and
that at other gins he has to haul 1800 pounds of seed cotton to
get the same amount of lint. There is no use of "kicking
against the pricks." The company has the latest improvement
m gins; it pays cash for cotton and seed; it gets a better yield of
hnt; it is ginning at one-twentieth; it is .trying to give the farmers
a chance to get out of debt and be free men.
Owing to the tact that 1 HE* Mii^rER's last page is printed on
Friday atternoon, we are unable to give a detailed account of the
ball and banquet that took place last night, but we know it was a
grand affair, and that every portion of the interesting programme
was carried out to the letter. The musicians, Prof. Connor's
famous opera house orchestra, came out yesterday afternoon,
and, having spent many evenings listening to their entrancing
music at Greenwall's popular opera house. Fort Worth, we know
that those who were so fortunate as to hear them last night were
delighted. We'll tell you all about it next week.
The revival conducted by Rev. T. G. Whitten of Weatherford
and Rev. J. M. Barcus of Vernon came to a close last Sunday
morning. 1 here were over one hundred conversions, ninety-
seven of whom were additions to the Methodist church. This
I meetmg is conceded by all to have been the best and most suc-
: cessful ever held m Thurber, and the gentlemen who conducted
the same deserve much praise and a handsome reward Twelve
of the converts were baptized by Rev. Whitten after the services
Sunday morning. This revival is to be followed by a series of
meetings by other denominations, to begin to-night, and much
, more good is expected.
Sti!! on the Go.
Ihe tram robbers, or a portion of them, have thus far eluded
the posse in search. On last^ Tuesday evening Captain Owens.
Captain Lightfoot. Captain Sam Farmer. Messrs. Crude Britton
and E. S. ( unningham returned to camp from Ioni mountains,
m Palo Pinto county, having succeeded in routing the thieves
I ftom their former place of abode in a secluded cave there. So
I close were the officers upon them that they captured some cloth-
ing and other paraphernalia belonging to the bandits. The offi-
cers say that the robbers could not have selected a safer or more
secluded spot in all of Texas and that only the most experienced
< ould penetrate the jungles and canyons. These men had made
this their rendezvous for two months past and knew every trail.
I he officers were within a few hundred yards of the cave on Fri-
day night after the robbery, but it was so excessively dark, and
they being unacquainted with the country they failed to find it.
It is thought the robbers only arrived there about Saturday ni"ht
during the rain.
The officers who came in Tuesday were well worn out from
their long scout, but next afternoon Captain Lightfoot and Crude
Britton returned to join the rangers, and the search will be prose-
cuted until the thieves are run down or run entirely out of the
country. Some arrests have been made, but just what they
amount to THE MiNER is unable to say.
