thieves made a raid on our town last night,
and succeeded in getting away with ten
bead. They took a buggy also, belonging
to Colonel G. J. Goodwin. The colonel of-
fers a reward of !f200 for the capture of the
thieves and property. The animal taken
with the buggy is a brown mare, branded
BE on the left shoulder. They also stole a
gray pony from W. J. Evans, branded 50
on the left shoulder and 50 on the right
hip, and S 8 8 on the right shoulder; paces
under the saddle.
District Court is in session, Special Judge
A. 8. Fisher, of Georgetown, presiding, as
Judge Wheeler is quite sick. In the case
of Q. V. Crump, ex-mayor and justice of
the peace, charged with embezzlement, the
jury to-day returned a verdict of not guilty.
Fine rains have fallen in this county this
week, and the prospect is bright for a large
wheat crop to be sown.
Montgomery.
Montgomery, September 14.—Hon. Chas.
Stewart spoke here to-day to a very good
audience, which would have been larger
were the people not so busy in the cotton-
fields. He reviewed his course in the last
Congress, explained his vote on the Hurd
contest case to the satisfaction of his hear-
ers, and also his vote on the bill to give a
pension to Mrs. Hancock. He reviewed the
pension legislation, silver question, advo-
cated free trade, and gave a history of the
labor legislation in the last Congress. His
remarks were well received, and he will
probably roll up his usual majority in this
county. Mr. Kerlicks, floater, from Harris
. county, was present, and made a few re-
marks. Jesse McCaleb, candidate for the
legislature from this county, was circulat-
ing among the dear people, as were also the
various county candidates.
Columbus.
Columbus, September 14.—The District
Court has been in session for two weeks;
criminal docket has been under consider-
ation for about ten days and several im-
portant cases have been disposed of. The
civil docket will be taken up again next
week. We have had considerable rain for
the last three weeks, and some farmers an-
ticipate a considerable yield from the top
crop of cotton. The worms are doing some
damage in some sections of the county.
The Stafford Opera-house is nearmg com-
pletion, and when completed will be an or-
nament to the town. No political excite-
ment at present, but it is believed the Hon.
A. W. Terrell is the choice of a majority of
the people of this section for the United
States Senate. The people seem to be re-
alizing the situation and growing tired of
corporation powers.
Salado.
Salado, September 14.—It has been rain-
ing at intervals for the last twenty-four
hours, sometimes very hard, with a stiff
breeze from the south, which has blown out
some cotton, and stopped picking for a
while. The farmers say that if they lose in
In cotton by the rain they will make it up
in fall grass for the stock, and they think
they will be even if not ahead by the rain.
Fall turnips were needing the rain very
badlv. It is thought they are now safe. The
dry, hot weather has entirely obliterated
the crop of army worms that were here.
The thermometer stood last week a high as
102 for three days in succession. The army
worm could not stand that. Some com-
plaint of overheat or sunstroke in the cot-
ton patch last \veek. Cotton earning in fast
and business is good.
Kountz.
Kountk, September 14.—A new Masonic
lodge bearing the characteristic name of
Fine has been organized and set to work at
this place. Brother Jeff Chaison, of Beau-
mont, was appointed by the grand master
to install the officers, and in pursuance of
this appointment arrived in our town on
Saturday's train. He was met at the depot
by a goodly number of his brothers, and,
alter partaking of one of Captain Nor-
wood's excellent dinners, they repaired to
their new and handsome hall and were set
to work in due and ancient form. The fol-
lowing officers were installed: W. M., W.
B. Pedigo; S. W., H. N. Harvey; J. W., J.

contents for $250.
Baylor college opened yesterday with 130

during the past month on account of the
drouth.
Abileno-
Abilene, September 14.—Another big
rain fell here this morning, and light show-
ers continued at intervals throughout the
day. The rain appears to have been gen-

ers and stockmen are happy.
Two substantial Iron-clad engine-houses,
for use of the fire department, were com-

All three fire companies are now comfort-
ably located in their new winter quarters.

fell here the night before last and yester-

are booked for this session.
San Antonio,
San Antonio, September 14.—Several of
the hostile Apache savages were taken
under guard in ambulances about the city
and permitted to visit various points of
interest. Natchez expressed great curiosity
at seeing a cake of ice, a piece of which wag
handed him and he placed it in his pocket,
but speedily removed it.
The Mexican portion of the populace will
celebrate the anniversary of the inde-
pendence of Mexico from Spain, to-morrow.
The celebration will last three days, but
the patriotism of the descendants of Mon-
tezuma is likely to be considerably short-
ened bv the copious showers. Rain is fall-
ing furiously now and likely to continue.
liberty.
Liberty, September 14.—District Court
in Chambers county, after one week's ses-
sion, has adjourned. Judge Hobby was
taken sick the third day of court, and Sam
R. Perryman was elected special judge by
the attorneys, and presided until adjourn-
ment for the term. There are twelve cases
pending in that court for cutting fences,
tut they were continued.
E. J. Dnnman, the defaulting county
treasurer, was tried and acquitted.
Laredo.
Laredo, September 14.—Reports have
appeared in various papers that the Mexi-
can federal troops, in New Laredo, Mexico,
had aimed their canon at Laredo, Tex.
These rumors are without foundation. The
relations of the troops and people of both
places are as friendly as ever.
Great preparations are being made in
Laredo and New Laredo for the celebration
of the twenty-ninth anniversary of Mexican
independence.
JEFFRSON.
United States Court Notes-A Letter from Cut-
ting.
Jefferson, September 14.—The fall term
of the United States District Court was
opened yesterday morning at 10 o'clock,
Judge C. B. Sabin presiding. The following
officers of the court were present: Hon. J. E.
McComb, United States district attorney;
R. B. Reagan, United States marshal; W.
E. Bingleton, clerk; W. W. Kirkpatrick, of
Galveston, chief deputy marshal, and
Harry Owen, resident deputy. The grand
jury, composed of nineteen members from
different portions of this division of the
district was impaneled and C. U. T. Jen-
kins, of Daingerfield, appointed foreman.
Judge Sabin delivered an able charge to
the jury.
There are rumors of moonshine whisky
and other violations o* tie revenue law,
and no doubt the labors of the grand jury
will consist of the investigation of such
offenses. Both the civil and criminal dock-
ets are large, and some cases of considera-
ble importance will be tried this term. Yes-
terday was consumed in getting a petit
jury, and no business of importance was
transacted.
A glorious rain fell on Saturday night,
and it has been steadily falling since Sun-
day morning. This entire section was
needing it, and all now feel confident
that the drouth Is broken for the season.
A gentleman residing in this city has
just received a letter from A. K. Cutting,
which runs thus:
El Paso, September 9.—Dear Sir: Yours
of August 2, directed to Paso del Norte,
did not reach my hands until after dis-
charge from the dungeon, since which time
I have been " catchingup " an accumulated
correspondence. I return you sincere
thanks for efforts in my behalf. Let me
suggest to you and friends that the time is
not far distant when 10,000 well-armed and
equipped Americans will enter Mexico and
right our wrongs at the point of the bay-
onet. Yours most respectfully,
Cutting.
HARLIN.
District Court Sots—Political and General
Notes.
Marlin, September 14.—Judge Eugene
Williams heard in chambers here yester-
day the two habeas corpus cases of E. G.
Moody, on a change of venue from Lime-
stone county, charged with murder, grant-
ing bail in the sum of j£10,000—$5000 in each
case. Defendant gave notice of appeal.
Hon. Roger Q. Mills spoke at the Kille-
brew hall, this afternoon, to a large and
appreciative audience. In his speech he
reviewed the tariff and the Dallas Pro-
hibitionists.
A subscription list for a regular grand
old-time Democratic barbecue and rally
was circulated yesterday afternoon, and in a
very short time over $150 in money was
subscribed. Distinguished sneakers from
all over the State will be invited, and a
glorious Democraiic revival is expected.
The 2d| of October is the time fixed for the
occasion. Falls county, it is predicted,
will go over 1000 Democratic majority at
the coming election. A fine rain has fallen
here this afternoon, and at the present
writing it still continues. A good old soak-
ing rain will do a great deal of good. A
permanent organization was perfected by
the young men last night for a military
company at this place. The name chosen
is the Marlin Rifles. Committees on
selection of uniforms and by-laws were
selected. The meeting adjourned until
next Monday night, when officers will be
elected and the committee on by-laws will
report.
SHERMAN.
Digging !or Water—The Dengue Dangerously
Developing.
Sherman, September 14.—The people are
jubilant over the prospects for a good sup-
ply of underground water, and Contractor
Kelly and the water commissioners are
outspoken in their belief that it can be
secured. Over 100,000 gallons of water have
been pumped out of a test well, eighteen
feet deep and seven feet across, and the
engine is hardly able to keep the water
down so the men can dig. In fact, thejin-
flux of water bas been so great that to-day
not over a half foot has been excavated in
the gravel which has just been r«ached,
and out of which the water is boiling, show-
ing the presence of a tremendous vein under
the surface. The grounds have been visited
to-day by all the city officials and hundreds
of citizens. The water drawn from the
wells has started a small creek running,
and the town cow is happy.
The presence of dengue fever is as annoy-
ing as ever, and, without exaggeration, the
total number of cases can be easily esti-
mated at 600. Several cases have developed
into fevers of a more dangerous type, and
oae of those resulted in death this after-
noon—that of Ed Opel, foreman in turning
department of one of the leading wholesale
hardware houses.
Clyde Maddox, arrested here yesterday
on a charge of embezzlement alleged to
have been committed in Cooke county, Was
taken to Gainesville by United States Mar-
shal Lum Johnson.
RAILBOAD NEWS.
A Typical Border Murder.
Edinburg, September 14.—About noon
yesterday evening news was received of a
cold-blooded murder. One Gonzales shot
and killed Alvino Lopez without warning.
It is said that Gonzales met Lopez on the
road, asking him where he was going, and
before Lopez could speak Gonzales shot
him in the stomach, and while down shot
him in the head, killing him instantly.
Gonzales then fled and went to Mexico.
Rains have been very abundant for the
past week and good prospects for fall crops
are expected. Cattle and horse stock are
looking well.

the atchison, topeka and santa fe.
Topeka, Kan., September 14.—In the
United'States court to-day the opinion of
Judge Brewer was filed in a ease of very
great importance, involving the powers of
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail-
road company to extend its line into other
states and territories outside of Kansa-*.
The suit is brought by Clarence H. Vomer,
of Boston, to restrain the Atchison com-
pany from acquiring the G ulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe railway in Texas, and from build-
ing through the Indian Territory to connect
with that road. Verner, who was a stock-
holder, claimed that it was a violation of
the charter of the Atchison company to
purchase other roads, and that the laws
of Kansas did not authorize such pur-
chases. The case was argued in July, and
on account of its importance was taken
under advisement by Judge Brewer, and
the decision filed to-day. Judge Brewer
sustains the power of the Atchison com-
pany to acquire the Gulf, Colorado and"
Santa Fe, both by virtue of charter and
virtue of subsequent statutes of the state
of Kansas. The opinion is very lengthy,
and is an exhaustive discussion of the
powers of railroad corporations, and
especially of the Atchison company.
The court decides that this company
was originally incorporated with the dis-
tinct purpose of extending southwestwardly
to Santa Fe and southwardly to the gulf of
Mexico, and that the acquisition of other
lines beyond the limits of the state of Kan-
sas was but carrying out the original plan
of its projectors, xn addition to this the
decision holds that the general laws of
Kansas permit railroad companies to ex-
tend their lines beyond the borders of the
State.
The contract between the Atohison and
gulf companies, which was made last win-
ter, provided for an exchange of stock of
the two companies, and Judge Brewer holds
that this was lawful and proper exercise of
power of the companies and that Verner
uan not be permitted to buy stock of the
Atchison company and then come in aud
attack the validity or non-validity of its
contract.
the nickel plate suit.
Cleveland, O., September 14.—The trial
of the great three-cornered Nickel-plate
foreclosure suit was begun in the Common
Pleas Court here to-day. Millions of dol-
lars are involved in the case. The validity
of the first mortgage bonds, amounting to
$15,000,000, represented by the Central
Trust company of New York, is at-
tacked by various defendant credit-
ors of the road, on the ground
that the Nickel-plate railroad, which
claims to be a consolidated corporation,
composed of five separate companies,
never became the property or lawfully con-
solidated into such corporation. That the
facts and condition of things existing did
not authorize it. That no law author-
reed the consolidation of a company
In this State with companies not
adjoining, and that the alleged corporation
therefore had no power to make the mort-
gage. It is also claimed by contestants
that the mortgage was fraudulent, ami that
a large amount of the bonds secured there-
by were issued to members of the syndi-
cate who formed a pool to con-
struct the road without consideration,
and that the road never received one-
third in value of the amount of
bonds, stocks and preferred stock issued
to the members of said syndicate. All the
charges are controverted on behalf of the
bondholders. A defense very similar
to the above is also set up as
to $10,000,000 mortgage, represented by
the Union Trust company of New York.
There is also involved in tne case a contro-
versy, amounting to several millions of
dollars, on the claim of Shether and
McGourkey that they, as trustees, are the
owners of all the equipments in use on the
road. Their claim that the sale of all these
things to the road was merely a conditional
sale and never paid for, and that they are
entitled to take them and have large com-
pensation for their use, are all more or less
controlled by other parties, and a large
proportion of the equipment is claimed
under the mortgages by the trUstefe on be-
half of the various bondholders. In
addition to these there are numerous other
Issues. The Lake Shore Railroad company
is claiming on a judgment of about $500,000
and Hollings & Co. for about $2,000,000, and
both claim that the entire property should
be sold and the proceeds equally
divided among all the creditors of
the road, regardless of the question of the
mortgages, which they seek to have de-
clared null and void. The various interests
in the suit are represented bv prominent at-

paris railway points.
Paris, September 14.—At a meeting of
the council this afternoon the right of way
through the city was granted to the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe railway. This
silences the reports that have from time to
time been set afloat that the Santa Fe was
not coming to Paris, it having been pub-
lished in a local afternoon paper and in the
Fort Worth Gazette that the work on the
ninth mile of the 'Frisco had beau suspend-
ed on account of lack of water. J. G.
Montrose, time-keeper for contractors, is
out in a card in which he denies emphatical-
ly that work has been suspended at any
point on the road, but, on the contrary,
work is being pushed vigorously forward.
AID FOR TEXAS.
Liberal Donations for the Drouth Sufierers
Made by the People of St. Louie.
St. Louis, September 14.—The movement
in this city for the relief of the Texas
drouth sufferers, has been very successful,
yet the movementhas not ceased yet. Every
letter received contains the strongest repre-
sentations of the destitute condition preva-
lent in the drouhty counties, and the need
of relief. Since the movement began the
total subscription obtained in St. Louis is
$5385. This is exclusive of some $600 worth
of supplies contributed. The money was
expended for bacon, meal, flour and seed
wheat, every purchase being made below
the market price. One dealer after another
has been called upon to sell supplies, and
heavy discounts have been given in each
case, and goods have been shipped free of
all charges by the railroads, the Misouri-
Pacific contributing the biggest share of
thiB transportation. The distance to the
nearest county is about 800 miles, and the
rate per car is between jflOO and $150, The
number of cars shipped to date shows that
the roads have contributed not less than
$1200 to the relief of Texas. The following
counties have received supplies: Stevens
county, one and one-half car; Brown coun-
ty, one car; Coleman county, one and one-
half car; Eastland county, one car; Palo
Pinto county, one and one-half car; Calla-
han county, one car; Comanche county,
one car: Runnels county, one car; Taylor
county, half a car: Young county, one car;
Jones county, half acar; Stonewall csunty,
half a car. Total, eleven and a half ca|-s.
ORGANIZED CH&HITY.
The Generous People o! New York Still Work-
ing for Poor Charleston.
New York, Septembef 14.—At a meeting
of the relief committee of the chamber of
commerce, held this afternoon, Treasurer
John Crosby Brown reported that he had
received subscriptions to date amounting
to $59,718 and he was authorized to send a
further $20,000 to the mayor of Charleston,
Letters from the vicinity of Charleston
were received asking assistance, and they
were referred to the mayor of Charleston
for his consideration.
W. E. Dodge, chairman of the committee,
stated that ho had received a commnnica-
tion from Mayor Courtney, in wliioQ he
said climatic and sanitary reasons now
compelled a return to such homes as were
habitable. They could live for a time with-
out plastering and with other discomforts.
The people ^ere all cheerful and mire
calm, and he added that the people of
Charleston would hold, as beyond price,
through all time, their identification with tv
common American citizenship which came
to them in their great trial, strong to help,
Miong to lift up. Charleston would never
forget all that had been done for her.
Dr. Simmonds, president of the First Na-
tional Bank of Charleston, suggested that
building associations should be formed to
loan money at a low rate of interest for re-
building the city, and the suggestion was
referred to a committee for consideration.

The Belie! Work Being Pushed.
Charleston, 8. C., September 14.—Ex-
Governor Lucius Fairchild, of Wisconsin,
commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of
the Republic, and Colonel E. B. Gray, ar-
rived here yesterday and spent to day ex-
amining the effects of the earthquake and
consulting with the mayor and the com-
mittee on relief. The object of Governor
Fairchild's visit is to see whether it is
necessary to make an appeal to the Grand
Army of the Republic for assistance for
Charleston. The situation has been fully
explained to him. At a meeting of the re-
lief committee to-day it was stated
that it will take at least
$1,000,000 to put the necessary repairs to
houses of persons who are utterlv unable
to make their houses safe and habitable.
Forms of application for assistance in re-
building will be issued to-morrow and
plans completed likewise for giving limited
pecuniary aid to those in need of clothing,
bedding, etc., in consequence of the earth-
quake. The bricklayers are now paid $5 a
day, which tends to check rebuilding opera-
tions.
THE PKESIDENT'S PAETY.
Preparations Being Made for Another Grand
Hunt.
Prospect House, N. Y., September 14.—
Th6 second attempt at a deer-hunt having
proved a failure, on account of a storm of
unusual violence, President Cleveland be-
took himself to fishing once more to-day.
Arrangements for the hunt were completed,
even to the ordering of a 6 o'clock break-
fast, and President Cleveland was no more
disappointed at its failure than were
the gentlemen who were to accompany him
to Long Pond. A hunt, however, is in
store for them the latter part of the week
in the upper lake region. Mrs. Cleveland,
Mrs. Folsom and Mrs. Lamont are expect-
ed to be members of the party which will
leave the inn for the hunting ground.
ENGAGED IN GOOD WOEK.
The Women's National Temperance Union
Acting in the Bight Direction.
New York, September 14.—The Women's
National Temperance union has drawn up
a petition to Congress urging that in view
of the alarming increase of assaults upon
women and young girls the legal age of
consent be raised as is proposed in the bill
now before the Senate, to eighteen years.
The legal age of consent in Delaware is
eleven years. In this State it has only re-
cently been raised to sixteen. There are
200,000 women, representing every State
and Territory in the oountry, now enrolled
in the union. It is not decided yet whether
the petition will be presented at one time
or whether it will be sent in by each State
and Territory separately, but it will be pre-
sented early in the coming session of
Congress.
