Why is it that, notwithstanding the
complaint of dull trade, my sales are
as large now as at any time during
the year?
I believe it is because, beside filling orders
promptly and with first-class goods, J
am content with small uniform profits
all the year round—do not charge car-
rying prices.
Also, because orders sent to me by mail
are filled with the same care, with as
good selections, and at as low prices
as if the purchaser were buying the
goods in person, with cash in hand.

WACO'S WATERWORKS.
MASS MEETING EELS
WHICH MEANS BUSINESS.
The Water Company Not TTp to
the Standard—Better Supply
Demanded — Resolutions
Adopted.
rSpEcxAL T9 The NEWS.]
Waco, March 18.—The court-house was
crowded to-night in repon3e to a call for a
mass-meeting of citizens at the court-house to
consider the water question in the city. The
call grew out of the failure of the Water com-
pany to furnish a pressure of water at the re-
cent fire.
Wm. L. Prather, Esq., was called to preside,
and the objeet of the meeting was stated by
A. J. Caruthers, after which, in response to
repeated calls Mayor Wilkes made a brief ad
dress, in which he stated that ha thought it
would be out of place for him, as mayor of
the city, to take active part in the delibera
tions of the meeting, but desired to state that
he had long since carefully investigated the
system of waterworks furnished by the Waeo
Water company, and unhesitatingly pro-
nounced it inadequate to the demands of the
city, and not such a system as the contract
with the Sand company called for.
Speeches were made by S. A. Hogan, chief
of the fire department; Judge L. C. Alexander
and T. A. Blair, city attorney, in which the
Water company was severely handled for its
failure to furnish good water for domestic use
and its repeated failures to furnish a sufficient
supply for fire purposes, as its contract with
the city calls for.
The following resolutions, offered by W. H.
Grider, were unanimously adopted: '
Resolved, first, that if there has been a
breach of the contract of the Waco Water
company with the city of Waco, said contract
should not be continued by the city; second,
that in view of the insufficiency of said Water
company, and its repeated failure to subserve
the purposes for which it was intended, if said
contract has not been broked by the company,
then it is worthless, and should not be con-
tinued; third, that the interest of the city of
Waco imperatively demands an efficient water
service, and that it has uot had it, and we be-
lieve never will have it, ?\t the hands of the
present company; fourth, we commend the
po9itiQn of the mayor and the minority of
the board of aldermen who have resisted the
attempts of said company to dictate to the
people of Waco; fifth, we respectfully urge
upon the board of aldermen to take Immediate
aotfon to relieve the people of this city.
The seoretary was instructed to furnish the
City Council with a copy of the resolutions,
after which the meeting adjourned.

Palestine, March 18.—Perhaps one of the
I pleasantest and best attended social gatherings
that has taken place in Palestine for a Ion,
time occurred yesterday at the residence of
Henry Ashby, on the occasion of the first cere-
monies incidental to the introduction of his
infant son to the Jewish faith. All that was
best of Palestine's business and society people

house were filled by the friends of the famiiy
tendering their hearty good wishes for the son
[ and heir.

NAVASOTA.
Worthy Citizen Gone—Track Washed
Out—Narrow Escape, Etc.
[SPECtAi to thk nets.)
Navasota, March 18.—Mr. M. B. Matthews
died this morning at his home in this city,
aged 75 years. His health has been failing for
nearly two years, terminating in paralysis.
He was born in Iredell county, North Carolina,
moved to Alabama, where he lived twenty
years, then to T^xas in 1854. He raised a
family of intelligent children. His youngest
son has been m business several years in Gal-
veston. He was an upright citizen and a
zealous member of the Presbyterian church.
His widow survives him in feeble health. He
will be buried to-morrow at the city cemetery.
bt. Patrick's day passed unobserved, but no-
table for a very heavy rain, which flooded the
county. One hundred yards of track of the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe railway, be-
tween the Navasota river and Brazos ri ver; in
Brazos county, was washed out, stopping
trains until to-morrow. Planting operations
were also interferred with. The earth is cola,
and growing corn looks pale and siokly.
Mr. Ira M. Camp started to Anderson Mon-
day, but when four miles on the way he con-
cluded to return on account of the rain. On
entering tho little stream at W. J. Terrell's
gin, which was booming, he concluded to quit
the buggy and ride on the horse for safety. In
doing so he failed to straddle the animal, which
kicked up and threw Mr. Camp into the stream.
He tried to seize the buggy-wheel, but missed
it and the wheel mashed his hands on the
rocks. The water whirled him down and he
became almost exhausted, when young Joe
Terrell heard his cries for help and ran in to
his rescue. Mr. Owen Brown was drowned in
February, 1881, in the same stream.

court. Among them are E. J. Fry, L. Kahn,

nue collector of this district. It is not known

Harris sailed yesterday afternoon, with a good
passenger list. The leak was repaired, and
the amount of damaged goods will be light.
They consist of about SOO barrels, principally
of flour, with fifteen barrels of sugar. The
sugar is probably a total loss. The exact
amount of the damage can not be ascertained
at the present writing, but will amount to
something less than $1000.
To-day being the last day of Colonel Haynes's

Texarkana, March 18.—As the time for the
city election approaches local politics on both
sides of the line wax warmer. On the Ar-
kansas side of town two negro candidates are
out—one for street commissioner. A meeting
is to be held Thursday night next, when, it is
alleged, they will place a full ticket in the
field, from mayor down. The colored vote is
less thau one-third, which of course renders
their cause on the color line utterly hopeless.

Mrs. Paul is improving.
The Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Telegraph
company got out a new tariff sheet to-day,
there being an extensive cutting of rates be-
tween this company and the Western Union.
The latter named reduced rates a couple of
weeks ago, followed by a cut in rates by the
Santa Fe. The cut by the Western Union
averages S3>£ per cent, to points out-
side of Texas and 15 per cent,
to points within the State. The
Santa Fe had been maintaining Western Union
rates until to-day, but now goes 50 per cent,
below to many points. Ten-word messages by
the Western Union to points in Texas are now
transmitted for fifteen cents by the Santa Fe.
It is said that the Santa Fe company are work-
ing to connect with points out of to the State,
to New Orleans from Houston and Galveston,
and to Kansas City from Dallas and Fort
Worth, and that they will in time connect
their wire at St. Louis with the Baltimore and
Ohio line. The war promises to become more
lively when other rival lines of the Western
Union are reached. •

First ward, to-day, by firing two shots at a
negro woman, with whom she had a difficulty,
neither shot taking effect. Officers Sullivan
and Graham went to arrest her, and she fought

Fenco Destroyed — Sanctificationists
Released, Etc*
[Special to The News.]
Ennis, March 18.—Saturday night tho
pasture-fences of A. N. Spencer, some five
miles east of town, were cut by unknown par-
ties. The work was thoroughly done, the
wires being cut between every post. About
seven miles of fencing was totally destroyed.
Mr. Spencer had the land leased,and his fences
did not in any manner interfere with public
roads or otherwise incommode the residents of
the neighborhood. It is tho first instance of
fence-cutting in Ellis county, and is greatly
regretted by good citizens. There is no clew
to tho offenders. Mr. Spencer is a quiet man,
and has no personal enemies. The act is one
of unprovoked and unmitigated deviltry.
The two sanctificationists who disturbed
public worship at the Methodist church, some
nights ago, refused to give bond after being
arrested, and were confined in the county jail.
The unholy demeanor, and other deviltries of
their fellow-prisoners, caused them to change
their minds, and they are now released. It is
said they were unmercifully hazed by the
wicked jail birds.
Corn-planting is finished, and farmers are
well forward with their work. Gardens are
showing up nicely. Rain is needed.

topics are promised by some of our leading
men, and clinics by some of the best operators.
The electric mallet and other appliances, new
perhaps to some, will be used. Full and free
discussion of all matters will be had, and so
profitable is this that the oldest practitioner
can scarce avoid taking home with him new
ideas of practical value. A subject of great
importance to the profession—that of legisla-
tion—will be considered, and it is hoped plans
may be matured by which will be secured the
muoh needed law regulating the praotice and
also relief from the present unjust occupation

McGREW'S STORY.
Testimony Before the Springer Com-
mittee—Statements Denied.
Washington, March 18.—J. M. McGrew,
formerly sixth auditor of the treasury depart-
ment, whose duty it was to audit expenses of
the postoffice department, was examined at his
own request by the Springer committee to-day
in relation to the Star-route investigation. He
characterized as infamously false the alleged
statement of William Lilley that he had paid
witness $4000 to secure expedition services upon
a certain route. McGrew also read a letter
from Lilley, in which the latter denied ever
having made the statement credited to
him. McGrew said he resigned his
position as sixth auditor June 2, 1881, at the
request of the president and Secretary Win-
dom, the former saying that he was embar-
rassed by the statements of James and Mae-
Veagh, members of the cabinet. They had
said they could not proceed in the Star-route
investigation while McGrew was sixth auditor.
Witness testified that when he resigned he did
so with the understanding that when it was
proved he was not guilty of the charge that
he received money he should have a better
position than he then held.
On June 30, McGrew continued, the presi-
dent sent for me and said he had done me
great injustice, and intended making my re-
storation conspicuous. The following day I
left for Ohio, and on July 2 the president was
shot. I never saw him again, and have not
asked for another position. I do not want one,
I have had enough.

The comptroller received a letter from the

city had decided not to levy any more taxes
to pay interest and sinking fund on sub-

troller is not able to say as to the ownership,
though it is believed that J. S. Eastman, of
Grayson, owns a portion of them. Nothing is
said about the Texas and Pacific subsidy
bonds.
Some of the counties have already defaulted
in interest upon their bonds held by the state

Colonel Swain left for San Antonio to-day.
It is suggested the cattlemen who resist the
action of the land board intend making bids
for leases at from 4 to 5 cents, and if rejected
by the board will, nevertheless, occupy the
land with their cattle, and, inclosing it, pay
$32 per section for its use under the land law.
As indicating the raised minimum of 8 cents
per acre is not too high, members of the board
say tbe railroads lease their lands for five years
at 8 to 13 cents, with the condition that the
lease terminate upon sale at any day. They
also 3ay that school lands of Travis county are
leased at 8^ cents, with the stipulation
that, at the end of the lease, good
fence shall be built around and water-tanks
placed pn each league; that Dallas county
school lands are leased at 10 cents, Tarrant
county school lands at 12 cents, and Washing
ton oounty school lands at 13^" cents. Travis
county lands are in Throckmorton, those of
Dallas in Archer, those of Tarrant in Wichita,
and those of Washington are in Tom Green

selected their lands a long time ago and got
the pick, and they are in solid bodies.

Sheriff Creary for $10,000 damages for false
imprisonment, got a verdict of $30.
Mr. Woldridge, secretary of the university
regents, says the letter that he submitted to
the state land board is precisely as the order of
the executive committee is recorded in the
minutes.
A report of another suicide to-day is found
to be only an attempt by a lady, which, fail
ing. renders further mention unnecessary.
It is ascertained that the mayor, who was
empowered to negotiate city 6 per cent, bonds
to the amount of $40,000, to take up that
amount of city debt, in part' mature*! bonds
and the balanoe in interest-bearing warrants,
probably expecting to be able to sell them
readily, borrowed of Swenson's bank, in
New York, $28,000 for sixty days
and hypothecated the entire issue of bonds.
The mavor has for some two months been at
Washington city, seeking a federal office, and
it is feared that if the $28,000 is not ready for
Swenson at the date of the city debt due to
him, the bonds will be sold off. Tho authority
to borrow, as was done, is very questionable.

The Famell Agitation*
London, March lS.-«-At a meeting at New-
castle-on-Tyne to-day, in honor of St. Patrick's
day, the editor of the United Ireland (newspa-
per) said the cause of Ireland never was more
hopeful. He declared that the government
was on the eve of a downfall.

speaking at a meeting at Glasgow, said that
the agitation conducted by Parnell in Parlia-
ment, and Davitt outside. " had resulted in a
gift of £45,000,000 to Ireland.
At a banquet given in London, in honor of
St. Patrick's day, no loyal toasts were offered.

Nation, urged Irishmen not to depend on any
of the Englishmen, but to rely upon them-
selves. He said Ireland's future was promis-
ing; that tho time was near at hand when the
Irish Parliamont would send a message of

Dissension in the English Cabinet.
London, March 18.—Rumors are rife of dis
sension in the cabinet, the resignation of Glad-
stone and the dissolution of Parliament. The
fact is Gladstone is suffering from catarrhal
fever and too hoarse to speak. Undoubtedly
there is a difference in the ministry as regards
the length to which Great Britain should go in
the Soudan war, but not enough to cause a
split or a ministerial crisis. There is confi-
dence that whatever happens Gladstone will
insist upon the final decision of Parliament on
the county franchise question.
Lowell's Ijotter.
London, March 18.—The tenor of Minister
Lo^vell's letter to the secretary of stnte on the
exclusion of American live cattle from Eng-
land. as telegraphed from New York, appears
in the papers here without comment. The
Paris Matin (newspaper) refers to the com-
munication as parallel to Minister Sargent's
letter on Germany's exclusion of American
pork, with the difference that both political
parties in England accept tho truth of Mr.
Lowell's statements, which rather tended to
raise him in the English estimation.

ference to the recent affair between Minister

he offered to the foreign minister, he found the
foreign minister would give him no satisfac-
tion, whereupon he repeated his demand to see
the grand vizier.

the Thiergarten. He seems to be in splendid
health. He sits upon his horse with admira-
ble erectness and rides with vigor. The im-
pression in the Reichstag is he has renewed his
strength mentally and physically. Current
rumors that he has- altered his habits—now
eating and drinking with moderation—were
confirmed during the recent speeches in the
Reichstag when, instead of diluted brandy—
his former speech beverage—he took cold tea.
French Politics.
Paris, March 18.—Premier Ferry informed
an interviewer to-day that* the Monarchist
agitation would necessitate only ordinary pre

A Popular Legislator.
[Special to The News.]
Sherman, March 18.—Hon. J. P. Cheno-
weth, of Fannin county, is in attendance on
the District Court in an important land suit.
He will certainly make the race for Cougress
against Mr. Culberson. Mr. Chenoweth
sound on the tariff question, and the campaign
will be aggressive. Grayson county would,
were it in the district, be more than proud to
have Mr. Chenoweth represent her in the na-
tional assembly. When the gentleman comes
to Sherman on business he is sure to be sur-
rounded by friends and admirers, and when-
ever he makes an argument in court, no mat-
ter how trivial the occasion of it, the court-
house is crowded to hear him.
A Company with John Roach in It.
New York, March 18.—The certificate of in-
corporation of the Rapid Steamship company

ry screw popalling power, calculated greatly
to increase the speed.

St. Louis, March 18.—Wheat opened steady as
1 09% for May, selling down to $1 09^, but closed
at 31 09^£. No new features to note in to-day'a
tradings. The receipts were liberal, while the
rainy weather over the winter wheat section ex-
erted an unfavorable effect on prices. With
nearly 15c difference between May wheat here and
at Chicago, which has been well maintained, there
seems to be a good outlook for a sudden break here
soon. Prices of corn are favorably affected by
rainy weather, and closed unchanged.
THE CATTL3 QUESTION.
Sxpressions from a Heprosontativ#
Body of Xtive Stock BXen*
Chicago, March 18.—A meeting of the ren
cently organized Live Stock exchange was
hold at the stock-yards yesterday, at which
the animal industries bill pending in Congress
was discussed. A committee was appointed to
go to Washington and use all influence possl*
ble to prevent its passage, and resolutions
were passed declaring the bill uncalled-for
and dangerous, as putting too much power in
the hands of the commissioner of agriculture.
The resolutions also express the belief that the
contagion of pleuro-pneumonia does not exist
in the United States, nor the foot and mouth
disease in Illinois or Kansas, and that the foo®
animals of the country have not been so
healthy within twenty years as now.
Foot Rot in Iowa.
Wapello. Ia., March 18.—Dr. N. H. Paaren
and Simon Ceatie, experts sent here by thf
Breeders' Gazette, to-aay visited the herd q|
cattle of Jonathan C. Drake, near this place;
this herd having been said to bo effected with
the contagious root and mouth disease. They
found fifteen head, out of a herd of fifty, affect-
ed with foot rot, all being calves but two.
The disease was found in various stages,
from those just beginning to show it to others
that bad lost the entire foot. The condition of
the affected cattle here is exactly like those de-
scribed as existing in Effingham county,
Illinois, the various stages being identical.
The herd of Mr. Draker is the only one tha$
can be heard of in tbi3 section that is in any
manner diseased. The malady with which
these cattle are suffering has no relation what-
ever to the contagious foot and mouth disease.
Veterinary Association.
Boston, March IS. — The United States
Veterinarv association adopted the following
resolution", after discussion of the subject of
foot and mouth disease:
Resolved, that it be the opinion of the asso-
ciation that manure on premises infected with
foot and mouth disease in the neighborhood ol
Portland, Me., should be destroyed: that hay
and feed on infected premises should be burned;
that the United States quarantine authorities
are, through carelessness or incompetency, re-
sponsible for the spread of the inrection; and
that the United States government ia in a
monetary point of view, responsible for lo3s id
citizens in the neighborhood of Portland, and
the State of Main-j; that the roads which have
been traversed by infected animals and pre-
mises used by them should be properly disin-
fected. Alsc|
Resolved, that the veterinary profession is
not properly represented in the cattle commis-
sion. as is illustrated in the selection of quarr
antine stations aud the fact that part of the in-
spectors are appointed who are not veterinary
surgeons. The*whole sanitary system of cattle
inspection needs revision. As managed to-day
an alarming state of things exists.
Dr. Winchester read a paper on antinomf-
chosis, the disease designated in some localities
as big-head, and discussion followed. Dr. Kocn
spoke on the Western study of lung trouble*
in cattle.
Kansas Legislature.
Topeka. March 18.—The legislature met in
special session this afternoon to consider and
legislate upon the foot and mouth disease.
Governor Glick sent a message detailing the
condition of affairs in the State, making
various suggestions as to what means
ought to be taken under the circumstances
asd urging that prompt and vigorous measures
be used to stamp out the disease.
A bill was introduced in the Senate regard-
ing Texas cattle, the provisions of which are
not stated, and another in the House providing
for the appointment of a state veterinary sur-
geon. Aft«r some other preliminary business
both houses adjourned until to-morrow.
