the Fonndcrs of the Famous

The following is a copy of an article in the New
Haven Union, August 29:
In this age of quackery, posthumous patent medi-
cine frauds and ingenious advertising inventions,
all three of which are continually boosting on to

tl ' | of ^-uilC.
\AU -«non with the writer, the president of
tn.„ vumpanv paid: "Reed's Gilt Edge Tonic " has
been classified and is recognized by the commis-
sioner of internal revenue as a medicine, which
n ay be sold without rendering the vendor liable to
pay special tax as a liquor dealer. In fact it is re-
s| ected as such, and throughout all sections of the
U cited States, where sold, extending as far North
and West as Seattle, Washington Territory, and
South to the Isthmus of Panama, it is not ques-
tioned or otherwise annoyed by collectors of intern-
al revenue upon the score of a liquor tax." Beyond
tbe r pinions expressed by the commissioners of
Internal revenue, the most advanced medical au
thorities of our day so treat this great specific and
rt medial agent as one of the mo3t successful aud
important discoveries known to pharmacy. It Is,
indeed, the result of scientific research and a
thorough knowledge of chemistry. Continuing, my
informant stated: 14This preparation is nothing
more or less than a "compound tincture," possess-
ing medicinal properties of great value; that it is in
fact what it is represented to be, a medicinal
pieparation, put up in good faith, of uniform
strength, and strictly in accor lance with the for-
n ula; and that the process of manufacture is con-
ducted on the most scientific principles known to
the art of pharmacy, which forever sets at rest any
doubts that heretofore might have existed as to the
true character of 'Reed's Gilt Edge Tonic.' "
Beyond any mere statements, and the fact that
many of our first-class physicians prescribe Reed's
Gilt tdge Tonic, and the same being indorsed by
st-"\eral of the most eminent chemists of the land,
the teporter saw abundant evidence from all sec-
tions of the United States of the guaranteed fulfill-
ment of all that is claimed for the renowned Tonic.
It is beyond all cavil the greatest specific for
BTahii ia, Fever and Ague, Dumb Ague, Chills and
I ever, and an efficient Tonic for Indigestion, Dys-
pepsia and lots of appetite, now before the trade.

vention as a manifestation of tbe good will of
the Republicans of the district, yet I can not
accept the nomination. For about three
months prior to the assembling of said con-
vention I had been in the Held as an Independ-
ent caddidate for Congress, making an active
campaign. Myself, my friends and the
fritnds of good government, without regard
to party tieB, have been induced, by the char-
acter of my candidacy, to give me active aid.
I can not now, in justice to them, or with honor
to nn self, depart from my original purpose of
i tinning this race as an Independent candidate.
Very respectfully, Jno. B. Rector.

Mills addressed the citizens of Falls county to-
daj at Uiiion church, on Blue ridge. A large
audience greeted the distinguished and popu-
lar representative and gave him close attention
throughout. This is a fourth of a series of
speeches delivered by Colonel Mills in Falls
county, and it will doubtless be productive of
much good.
Hon. Richard H. Harrison, of Waco, candi-
date for the state Senate, also addressed the
assembly on state politics.
Immediately after the speaking a Democratic
club was organized of fifty members with Pro-
fessor Gillespie as president.

IBpecial to The News.1

is certainly very popular In this part of
Coryell county, though his recent manifesto
lias lost him some votes. Several citizens of
this place heard Ireland speak at Lampasas
and have decided to support him, though they
were Jones men previous to th»t time. It is
learned that some of his neighbors say that,
though he claimed to be a free-grass man, he
was very careful to have every acre of his own
land inclosed.

Austin, the Democratic and Republican can-

day.

Rock Haulers Strike—Shipments to the West-
Contemplated Barbecue, Etc.
[Special to The News.1
Bornet,September 15.—-All the rock-haulers
—about fifty wagons—who have been engaged
in hauling granite from the quarry to Burnet,
are on a strike, and no rock has been brought
in for two days. The cause of the strike is
some misunderstanding with the contractors
about the measurement of stone, the hauling
being done by the foot. The contractors, it is
alleged, only want to pay what the stono will
dress or square, and the wagoners want full
rough measurement. Mr. Wilk, who has the
contract of getting out the rock, has been
telegraphed of the strike, and will no doubt
be here to-morrow to adjust matters.
Eighty-five wagons loaded here Saturday
for tbe west with lumber and various lines of
merchandise, which is a pretty good showing
for dull times.
The citizens are making an effort to get up
a large barbecue here on October 2, the occa-
sion to be a joint discussion between Sayers
and Rector, Democratic aud Republican can-
didates for Congress.

Marshall, September 16.—The social sen-
sation Is the elopement of Dan E. Jones, clerk
in the United States revenue collector's office
here, and Miss Sallie Knight, a pretty lady of
sixteen years, of this city. Jones, it is stated,
is a married man and has a daughter about
twelve years of age, living near Tyler. The
elopers left on the train last night with
baggage checked to Palestine, but Jones wis
evidently making for Mexico. Dispatches
sent ahead intercepted him, auil both parties
were arrested at 1 o'clock to day at Austiu.
City Marshal Adair leaves to night to bring
them back. Indignation in this community is
running high against Jones.
Further Parttcnlars.
[Special to The News.]
Austin, September 15.—Sergeant of Police
Clienneville went out on the east-bound Inter-
national train this morning and on meeting
the west-bound train, boarded it, and at Duval
station arrested Dan Jones, deputy revenue
collector from Jefferson or Marshall, traveling
with Miss Sallie Knight. Jones is charged
with kidnapping the said Sallie, who gives
her name as Sallie Belle Knight, originally
from New Orleans, and now from Marshall,
Tex. She is Bmall, about sixteen years old,
black hair and eyes, rather pretty, and do-
voted to Jones, declaring that she came with
him is a mystery. She is said to bt of a very
respectable family. Reporters were very so-
licitous about tbe welfare of Miss Knight,
several seeking interviews. She was reticent,
and the probability is the promised explana-
tion will not be given until to-morrow, when
the cai-e comes up under habeas corpus. The
party that procured the arrest will be in to-

surrender of the convict labor contract of
Conner & Farris at Rusk.
The university regents are slow about com-
ing in. They were to meet this evening. Con-
siderable interest is felt in the selection of
chairman of the faculty. There appears to
be no effort in behalf of any one, but it is
considered tbe choice lies between Dabney,
Waggoner and Humphreys. There was a
meeting of the faculty to day, but Professors
Dabney and Talechet being absent, nothing
important was done. Some forty students have
arrived and it is expected by the 17th, when
the session begins, there will be quite a num-
ber present.
Attorney-General Templeton and Land

Commissioner Walsh next week will make a
short incursion into the free grass region, not,
as he says, to make speeches, but to get at the
actual wants and sentiments of the people,
and to see for himself as to the operations of
the land laws. He is evidently skeptical on
the subject of the great extent of the free-
grass sentiment in the west.

FLAMES AT WACO.
Another Destructive Conflagatlon Visits the City
—The Work of an Incendiary.
[Special to The News.1
Waco, September 15.—This city was visited
by another destructive fire, this morning,
which laid in ashes Barton & Fosgard's new
planing-mill, three cottages and between
40,000 and 50,000 feet of lumber. The £re was
discovered at 3:30 this morning, and an alarm
was sounded from box 7, which promptly
brought out the fire department. On the ar-
rival of the firemen, in less than twenty min-
utes from the tap of the fire bell, the planing-
mill, a large frame structure, was a solid
sheet of flames. The fire originated in the en-
gine-room of the mill, and was clearly the
work of an incendiary, as no fire had been in
the building since Saturday evening. After
burning a large lumber shed and three small
houses adjoining, and all the property of Bar-
ton & Fosgard, it was got under control.
The following are the losses: Barton &
Fosgard, planing mill, $8000, and 30,0 > ) net
of lumber, hardware, etc., $1000; thru nt-
tage houses, $1000; total, $10,000. On the itil
Mr. Fosgard bad $1500 insurance. Mr. 15 vr-
ton's interest was uninsured. On the th m
cottages the firm had $750 insurance. Williu t
Cameron & Co., loss on lumber, $1000; no in-
surance. Loss on fifteen cases of tools, be-
longing to mechanics, $800; no insurance.
Universal sympathy is felt for Barton &
Fosgard, who have suffered severely by the
fire. To-morrow Mr. Fosgard will start north
for the purpose of purchasing machinery, and
the w ork of erecting a new mill will be com-
menced at once.
FORT WORTH FLASHES.
Fight About a Child—Schools Opened -District
Court.
[Special to the News.[
Fort Worth, September 15.—A man named
Remington and his wife, who was assisted by
another woman, had a street fight on the pub-
lic square to-day over the possession of their
son. The woman finally got the child and ran
off with it. It seems that they separated
some time ago, and a suit for divorce has been
pending in the District Court for some time,
and the boy has been under the control of the
father, contrary to the mother's wishes.
This morning the husband, wife and child
met and the struggle took place. In the dif-
ficulty the child was nenrly choked to
death, but Deputy Sheriff Tucker interfere!
and separated the combatants. As he held
Remington the mother grabbed the child and
lan off. Remington threatens to prosecute
the officer, who claims that he only wanted to
preserve the peace.
The public schools opened to day, with 1028
pupils on the rolls. This is an increase of 100
per cent, over last year.
The District Court convened to-day. The
grand jury was impaneled, with K. M. Van
Zandt, of this city, as foreman. There are

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE
TRAGEDY AT ABBOTT.
Instantly Killed—Shot Through the Head—
Broke Jail— Burglarized—Lynched In
Kansas—Crime at Other Points.
ISpecial to The News.1
Hii.lmkiRo, September 15.—M. Frier and
M. 1). Teague, who lives near Abbott station,
ten miles from here, met in that town, yester-
day mi rning, and, after a few short words, a
difficulty ensued, in which M. D. Teaguo was
killed outright and Frier badly wounded. The
parties fought with knives and did quick
work, the combat not lastiug longer than a
minute. Teague received the fatal gash near
tbe kidney, which severed one of the main ar-
teries, killing fcim in a few seconds. Frier is
in jail, and is wounded in the right side. The
difficulty arose about cattle getting into
Teague's field. Both parties are good and
highly respected citizens.
Prisoners Break Jail at Texarkana.
[Bpeoial to The News.]
Texarkana, September 15.—The city was
somewhat excited yesterday afternoon over
the report made current that eleven of the
nineteen prisoners confined in Miller county
jail had escaped. Sheriff Dixon atone repaired
to the jail, to find the report only too true.
Among the escaped who fled was Charles G.
Stabb, charged with grand larceny.
James Boydstone, who was formerly a well-
known bartendor at Fort Worth, and who was
confined on a chargo of slaving an innocent
negro, some weeks since, refused to avail him-
self of the chance to escape, saying it was too
waimtogoout without an umbrella, which
be did not have. It is thought Boydston is
trying the insanity dodge to save him from
conviction of a very heinous crime, and that
his act of yesterday was only with a view to
strengthen his case.
Instantly Killed.
[Special to The News.]
Gatesville, September 15.—A difficulty
occurred yesterday between Bob Newland and
Geo. Taylor, residing some distance from this
place, in which Taylor was shot and instantly
killed. The difficulty began about some hogs

was raiBing his gun when he was shot. New
laud has not yet been arrested, but it is said he
will surrender to morrow.

Burnet, September 15.—Two braves from
Backbone.valley camo into the city Saturday,
and having filled up with condensed rum, pro-
ceeded to practice with their pistols in the out-
skirts of town. This racket called out Sheriff
Wolf, who took the young men in, and the
court dressed them up to the tune of $82, fines
and costs.
Shot Through the Head.
[Special to The News.)
Gatesville, September 15.—A man named
Stone was killed in Center City, Hamilton
county, while in charge of an officer. Stone,
it seems, started to walk away from the offi-
cer, when he was ordered to stop, and, as he re-
fused, tbe officer shot him through the head.
Residence Burglarized.
[Special to The News.]
Waco, September 15.—C. W. Nelson's resi-
dence, corner of Tenth and Washington streets,

A Peacemaker Slain.
St. Louis, September 15.—A Post-Dispatch
special from Quincy, III., says: A cold-blooded
murder was committed yesterday in the vil-
lage of Augusta, twenty-five miles from Quin-
cy, on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
railway. Three brothers, named James, Wil-
liam and Samuel Holden, quarreled six years
ago with an unknown man, who was killed
outright in the affray. Which brother struck
the fatal blow was not known, but a deadly
feud has existed ever since between James and
William Holden. Yesterday the difference
culminated in a fierce battle for life between
the two. A citizen named Finlay interfered
to make peace, whereupon James deliberately
raised hfs revolver and shot him dead. The
murderer then fled. Wm. Holden was arrest
ed, and is in jail. The Holden family have had
a bad reputation. The murdered man was
highly respected.

Charlotte, N. C., September 15.—George
Latham, editor of the Statesville American,
suicided Saturday morning. He left this note
to the occupants of the adjoining room in the
hotel: " My kindest regards to you. You are
tho only gentlemen in Statesville. The others
may go to hell."
He started a little Republican sheet, teem-
ing with personal abuse and vituperation.
Latham was formerly a Democrat, but on
going over to the Republicans, two years ago,
he was repudiated by his family, who are
wealthy and respectable.
Killed lor Seduction.
McPherson, Kan., September 15. — A.
Crupe, a farmer of this county, killed his
brother to-day. The brother was a resident

months. While stopping with him he seduced
his neice, a girl of twelve years, and, the facts
becoming known to the father, caused him to
take the life of his brother.
Struck with a Car Hook.
Chicago, September 15.—William Mona-
han, driver of a Blue Island avenue car,
struck a passenger named Matthew P. Sulli-
van w ith a car hook last night and the latter
will probably die. Sullivan and a companion
were intoxicated and made au attack on the
conductor of the car, which Mouahan mistook
for an attempt at robbery, which caused him
to strike Sullivan.

Bjakrmrn Killed—Mexican Independence Day
Celebration.
[Bpfcial to The News.]
Laredo, September 15.—This morning,
while the Mexican National train was switch-
ing cars at Mojinta station, between Lampazos
and the Salado river, the brakeman, named
Clarence Clifton, while coupling cars, was
caught h#tween nn empty and a lumber car,
ana cut almost in twain. His lifeless body was
extracted ty the trainmen a few minutes
after. The accident is attributed to the fact
that tho lumber car bad the brake on, and
when the engino backed tho empty car on to
it to be coupled itwas immovable, causing the
empty car, in railroad parlance, to ride the
lumber car, thus crushing the unfortunate
brakeman. His remains were taken to Lam-
pazos to be buried.
1 he Mexican-American citizens, joiued by
the citizens of New Laredo, are holding an
open air meeting in Court house plaza, to-
night, to celebrate by appropriate speeches
the seventy-fourth independence day of
Mexico.
RAILROAD NEWS.
General Passenger and Ticket Agents Conven-
tion.
Boston, September 15.—About forty repre-
sentatives of prominent railroads throughout
the country arrived this morning to attend the
semi-annual convention of the National Asso-
ciation of General Passenger and Ticket agents
to-morrow and Wednesday, Fifty more arrive
this evening. An important session is expected.
Meeting of the Transcontinental Association.
Chicago, September 15.—The general com-
mittee of railway managers, composed of
Messrs. Hughitt, Potter, Kimball, Robinson,
McMullen aud Cable, to which was referred
the problem by which the differences now ex-
isting between the Western lines, could be ad-
justed, held an all-day session here to-day. So-
lution of the present difficulty was supposed to
rest upon dissolution or continuance of the
bipartite pool, out of the organization of
which the present condition of affairs is sup-
posed to have sprung. One of the prerogatives
of the tripartite agreement is that the roads
east of the Missouri river shall make all
through rates to Colorado and California
points. When asked to join in the formation
of the trnns Missouri pool, the Atchison, To-
leka and Santa Fe declined to do so, so long
as the tripartite or the power given
the roads in it < ast of the Missouri river was
allowed to contiuue.
At to-day's session the continuance of the
tripartite was not discussed; apian was pro-
pt sed, however, which was adopted unani-
mously, and which will be reported to the
general meeting to-morrow. The plan is in
the rough, and was not even placed in the
form of a resolution. It proposes the forma-
tion of four pools on California aud Colorado
business two eost and two west of the Missouri
river. The former to include all the Omaha
and Southwestern lines, and the latter to in-
clude Ihe Burlington, Santa Fe and Union
Pacific roads. It is provided that there shall
be four commissionei-ships, and that a confer-
ence committee, consisting of members of all
four pools, will be appointed to arbitrate any
difficulty affecting the roads both east and west
of the Missouri river. A resolution to clothe
this committee with power was defeated, and
the committee is to serve only in an advisory
capacity. A proposition by the Union Pacilic
»i:d Rock Island to recognize the tripartite
pool was opposed by the Burlington, North-
western aud Santa" Fe, and the matter was
dropped without action. As to the probability
of the adoption of the plan outlined at the
general meeting to-morrow it is a matter of con-
siderable doubt, owing to failure to take any
definite action as to tho continuance of the tri-
partite.
Prominent officials of the two roads de-
clared that until that matter had been dually
decided and the tripartite dissolved the forma-
tion of new pools was purely a matter of con-
jecture. It was expected that some decision
on the question would be necessarily reached
to-day.
CACERES'S DEFEAT.

Panama, September 15.—The most important
news from Peru is the complete defeat of Gen-

savage mob of Monteneros, who rushed

tained possession of the barracks of Esuiritu
Santo and of the churches of Merced and
St. Augustine. They also attacked Guada-
lupe station, of tbe English Railroad company.
