Houston, Tex.i Feb. 4.—Detective Cliff
Ellison to-day arrested T. J. Woods alias
C. E. James, who is wanted in Memphis,
Mo., on a charge of forging a check for
1100, using the name of his father-in-law.
Ellison had received a letter containing the
man's description and photograph from L.
R. Byrne, chief of police of Memphis, who
said he had a requisition for him. Woods
was found at work on a house on Pease
street about 5 p. m. to-day, and when
shown the picture acknowledged it to be
his and quietly submitted to arrest. The
Missouri authorities were informed of the
arrest and will come at once for Woods.
Kniffhts of Pythias Inspection.
General S. B. Hopkins, commanding a
brigade of the uniform rank. Knights of
Pythias, with headquarters at Dallas, and
Colonel H. Kitcher of Palestine, command-
ing one of the regiments, are in the city
this evening. They came hem' for the in-
spection of Houston division No. 7 of the
uniform rank and performed that duty at
division headquarters in the Burns build-
ing, corner of Main street and Prairie ave-
nue. There was a full turnout of the mem-
bers and in command of Captain Ft. K.
Craig of the division they made a very
creditable display or exhibition. %The sword
manual was executed in a highly creditable
manner and the division stood a good in-
spection in the matter of uniforms and of
work. There is a good deal of commenda-
ble emulation between the divisions of the
state and it is likely there will be a big
state prize drill during the year. The Dal-
las division has possession of the banner,
having won it at the last state encamp-
ment.
This evening after the exercises were
done suitable ami toothsome refreshments
were served by the members and enjoyed
by all. It was an occasion that local mem-
bers may well feel proud of. Some speech-
making was indulged in much to the bet-
terment of the affair.

who is charged with the murder of Bur-
roll Butler of Kenedy, this county, last

be will have a habeas corpus trial beforo
Judge Grimes 011 Wednesday, February 5.
A large number of witnesses will attend
the trial.
Alvin, Tex., Feb. 4.—The Ladles' horti-
cultural association was so well pleased
with its chrysanthemum show last fall
that they have determined to hold another
the coming fait on a much larger scale.
They have appointed their working com-
mittees and are shuping up things for a
grand flower fair to be held here some
time in November next, and they will enter
into the contests with an enthusiasm that
promises much. They have learned much
from past experience and expect to have
an exhibit that will draw the crowds from

plants have been ordered and premium
blooms may be expected.

in which to settle.
Mr. Franks from Velasco was here this
week looking for a home where he could
get transportation for his produce. This is
the great advantage of this locality. While
the lands all along this coast are about
equal in fertility, etc.. here at Alvin im-
provement is so far advanced that there
Is enough produce made to ship in earlots
and get to the more distant markets. The
Texas markets are soon overstocked and
freight eats up local shipments to distant
points, which is disadvantageous to small
shipping points, in fact debars them com-
pletely later in the season, when prices are
down.* Without accident Al\in can ship
a earload or two of strawberries daily and
have enough left to supply the local trade,
and when it comes to vegetables it is ex-
pected to have several carloads dally.
Many acres will be planted to wax beans
and by the middle of this month the plant-
ing will begin. Many pounds of radish
and turnip seed have already been planted
and are up and growing.

A petition is in circulation over town call-
ing for a tax election, so that the schools
of the city can run the maximum time free.
The school population of the city is in-
creasing at a rapid rate, and as the city al-
ready has a tine new school building the
citizens are determined to establish an edu-
cational system' the equal of any in the
state. A two-thirds vote of the property
owners will be required to levy the tax.
The leading property owners have already
headed the petition. The tax was defeated
last summer by the negro vote, which went
solidly against it, but many of them will
now vote with the whites, having seen the
error of their ways.

Falls County Tragedy.
Reagan, Falls Co.. Tex., Feb. 4.—James
J. Crouch, a young man of unsound mind
living in this neighborhood, died last night
about 12 o'clock from a blow or blows on
the head received earlier In the night. The
death occurred at the home of his brother-
in-law. Mr. f. M. Davis, about two miles
out in the country. The particulars of the
tragedy received so far are meager. Mr.
Davis states that soon after dark he stag-
gered into his house with his head and
face badly bruised. When asked what was
the matter he answered: "That fellow up
there hit me." To other questions he sim-
ply replied: "He hit me with anything he
could lay his hands 011." Immediately af-
terward he sank into a stupor, from which
lie was never aroused.
The attending physician states that death
was produced by rupture of blood vessels
in the brain, caused by a blow on the side
of the head from some fiat object, pre-
sumably a board. Justice of tlie Peace J.
P. Iliggins has gone out to hold an In-
quest, during which it is supposed that
other facts connected with the tragedy will
come to light.
About a year ago Crouch was tried and
in the county court adjudged of unsound
mind and was committed to the state
insane asylum at Austin. Owing to the
crowded condition of that institution he
was refused admittance and was brought
back home and turned loose. Ordinarily he
was a quiet and Inoffensive person, but
times to certain idiosyncrasies was at
times very difficult to please. He was
also subject to fits of ungovernable pas-
sion when irritated, during which he be-
came quite dangerous.
Pain from indigestion, dyspepsia, and too
hearty eating is relieved at once by taking
one of Carter's Little Liver Pills imme-
diately after dinner. Don't forget this.

THIS CITY FLOOR ILL.
Contract Closed for Its Im-
xuecliate Erection.
ITS CAPACITY 900 BARRELS.
Texas City is to have the largest flour
mill in the state. For some time past ne-
gotiations have been pending looking to
this end between Mr. C. Eiaenmayer of
Chicago. 111., and other business men and
the Texas City improvement company. The
negotiations were closed yesterday by the
making of a contract between the parties
for the immediate erection of a mill which,
for size and capacity will, it is said, eclipse
anything of a like kind in the state. The
great natural advantages offered at Texas
City have been the chief moving induce-
ment to Mr. Eisenmayer and his friends
to locate there. In addition to these natu-
ial advantages the Improvement company
has given certain privileges and conces-
sions which will aid materially in operat-
ing tho mill in successful competition with
others.
Mr. C. Eisenmayer is a practical and ex-
perienced miller, in fact he has been in
the milling business all of his business life.
He comes of a family of millers, and the
name of Eisenmayer in that connection is
as well known throughout the country as
Illinois, where they have successfully op-
erated mills for many years past. Mr.
Eisenmayer will personally conduct the
management of the Texas City mill, and
with this extensive and practical experi-
ence there is no reason to fear for tne re-
sult. Mr. Eisenmayer was seen yesterday
by a News reporter, and had the following
to say:
"Yes, we have concluded a deal with the
Texas City Improvement company for the
location and operation of a flour mill at
Texas City. I have long had my eyes upon
that location, and after mature investiga-
tion and consideration, I became convinced
that it would be the best point oh the
coast and offered the best advantages for
the establishment of a mill. The Improve-
ment company has been very liberal in
granting such privileges and facilities as
will enable us to successfully compete with
other milling interests already in the field.
The mill which we have contracted to erect
will be 200 feet long by 100 feet wide. The
machinery will be of the most modern
type and will have power and capacity for
turning out from S00 to 900 barrels of flour
every 24 hours. There will also be eleva-
tor bins in one end of the mill, with stor-
age capacity of 50,000 bushels of grain. We
have agreed to commence the erection of
the mill immediately, and expect to have
it completed and in operation within ll'O
days from the present time. The site for
the mill is as good a one as we could de-
sire. It is on the bay front adjacent to the
water, with good dock facilities and direct
railway connections. Any flour we may
have for shipment can be loaded direct
from the mill to the ship or the cars, and
drayage and wharfage saved. The same,
of course, applies to the shipment of grain,
fuel, etc.. which we will receive at the mill
from day to day. Naturally, all these items
are of considerable importance in reducing
the cost of operation and" handling, and in-
fluenced us in coming to Texas City. We
will commence the erection of the mill at
once. The name of our company will be
the Texas City Mill and Elevator Co.

ELECTROPOISE
Fort Worth, Tex., Dec. 2, 1S95.
W. S. Swymmer—Dear Sir: I began using
tho ELECTROPOISE five vears ago. I
have used it tor a variety of 'ills tor myself
and family and friends. It is a doctor killer.
Since its use in my family I have not hail
an occasion for an M. 1). There is nothing
surer than it for restoring the system from
the debilitating effects of la grippe.
A lady friend who had spent all her sub-
stance with the doctors and was rather
worse than better of her rheumatism, was
wholly cured by the ELECTROPOISE I
might go on at length, but Mrs. Jarvls'
testimonial covers the case, and I refer to
it as my sentiment. Yours truly.
