OBITUARY.
thomas j. word.
Palestine, Tex.. May 36.— Colonel Thom-
as J. Word died in this city yesterday even-
ing, aged over 85 years. Colonel Word was
born in Surrey county, N. C., where he
studied law and was admitted to practice.
He served two terms in tho legislature of
his natl re state, moved to Mississippi when
It was a territory as a reprerentative of the
United States government in making settle-
ment with the Indians for claims for laud,
served in the legislature of that state and
as district attorney. In 1813 bo was elected
to congress, his colleague being the famous
Sarueant S. Prentiss. He was also a dele-
gate to the celebrated Nashville convention
of the southern states during the exciting
days of 1852.
Colonel Word removed to Texas in 1855
and settled at this place, and soon obtained
a large law practice. He served in the se-
cession convention of 1861, and after re-
construction was elected to the state senate
in 1873. He was an old line whig before the
war, but after that event he called himself
a Jackson democrat.
Ha was a member of the Episcopal church
and was ever a good and amiable man. Ho
had been thrice married, and leaves several
sons and daughters. His remains were fol-
lowed to tho cemetery to-day by a largo pro-
cession of friends and citizens generally.
•joel h. m'gregor.
MlLLICAN, Tex., May 26.—About 8 o'clock
this morning, while walking to town, Mr.
Joel H. McGregor dropped dead of paralysis
of tho heart. Mr. McGregor was an old
settler, having come here when a boy, and
was 60 years old at the time of his death.
He served this county as commissioner
eight years and was t#«*h thought of for
his conservatism as a commissioner and for
his uprightness and honesty as a citizen.
Killed br Lightning.
Orange, Tex., May 36.— II. T. Moye, a
builder, who recently came to this place
from Birmingham, Ala., was to have cele-
brated bis thirtieth birthday this evening
and a few of his friends had prepared some
presents to be handed to him when he
should come home from work at 6 o'clock,
but the day was not to end as he and his
friends had planned, for about 2.80 o'clock
a dark cloud came up, he quit work and
commenced putting his tools in his chest
when a bolt of lightning struck him just
behind the left ear, passed directly throuKh
and out below the right arm, dislocating
bis neck and he fell across his tool chest a
dead man. His family has the sympathy
of the entire community in their sad afflc-
tion.

ish synagogue. The temple was beautifully

CARLISLE IN THE SENATE
THE STATUS OF THE GALVESTON
DEEP WATER BILL.
A Vacancy In tho Committee on IluJes and
the Absence of Hpeaker lteed Compli-
cated Mattels—Beserve Ageats for
National Banks*
Washington, May 26.—[Special]—Mr.
Carlisle walked Into the senate chamber this
morning and in a few minutes the vacancy
caused by the death of Senator Beck was
filled. The Texas delegation in the other
end of the capitol had gathered in the sen-
ate, and as soon as tho new member had
subscribed to the oath presented to him
they gathered around him and warmly con-
gratulated him. A large bouquet adorned
hi* desk and Mr. Carlisle tcok his seat ^ter
congratulations as if he bad been a senator
all his life. Mr. Ingalls was the first mau
to congratulate him.
Mr. Carlisle goo* on the finance commit-
tee of the senate, which is the ways and
mean* committee of that body. A place on
this committee is a most honorable one and
there was quite a struggle for the place
among a-few democratic senators.
It is the committee that formulates tariff
measures or considers those which come to
it from the house. The McKinloy bill had
been submitted to Mr. Beck, who was con-
sidered the best posted democrat in the
senate on the tariff question, and his loss
was expected to be very great to tariff re-
formers on this account; but they now feel
that a man is in his seat who knows as
much if not more than bo did about thia
nuestion. There 1* no roan In the United
States who knows more about tho tariff
thim Carlisle, and the democratic party has
mado a strong point in putting him iu the
senate. Nothlns can testify to bis strength
more than that'he was as a new member
placed on the finance committee, when
democratic members who bad been in that
body for years wanted the place.
k1veb and haRBOII BILL,
The river and harbor bill had to go over
to make way for District of Columbia legis-
lation, which was the day set apart for it.
The fight over the Hennepin canal on Sat-
urday took up so much time that the con-
sideration of the bill could notbe concluded,
but the chances aro that a vote will be had
on it to-morrow.
THE GALVESTON DILI,
Reed'* mother died yesterday and he went
home, to be back to-morrow, Tuesday. Dar-
ing hi* absence there will be no business
done by the committee on rules, and so
Stewart's resolution, setting a day for the
consideration of the Galveston bill, and
which was referred to the committee on
rules, will not be considered till he returns.
Just when the committee will make a re-
Sort on it no one knows. The death of Iian-
all necessitated the appointment of an-
other democrat on the oommlttee. Reed
selected Blount of Georgia for the place. He
is a friend of the measure. Just as tiiis
was settled Carlisle was elected tc the
senate ajid another vacancy was created.
Mills is entitled to the place by reasou of
his position as senior on the ways and
means committee, but Reed does not like
Mills, and thoro are those who say he will
not appoint him to the place. If ho dcea
not the honor will perhaps be given to Gen-
eral Forney of Alabama. Forney alao fa-
vors the appropriation for Galveston, but
these vacancies cause delays. The friends
of the bill hardly expect a day for the con-
sideration short of three or four weeks,
though It Is possible that tho committee at
any time after Reed's return may set a day.
reserve agents.
Tho comptroller of tho currency has ap-
proved the following reserve aorents for na-
tional banks: The National Bank of Com
merce of Kansas City for the First National
bank of Marshall; the National Park bank
of Now York for the First National bank
of New Braunfels; tho Hanover National
bank of New York for the First National
bank of Ladonia; the State National bank
of New Orleans and tho Fourth National
bank of St. Louis for the First National
bank of Beavllle; National Bank of the Re-
public of St. Louis for the First National
bank of Granbury.
oklahoma's capital.
Representative Mansou of the committee
on territories has prepared a memorial
from the committee ou territories which
will be presented to the committee on ap-
priations to-morrow, which provides forthe
appropriation of 150,000 for a capitol build-
ing at Guthrie, In Oklahoma. The memo-
rial recites that in view of tho fact that two
seasons without government in Oklahoma
and without any opportunity to raise rove-
nuo ha* left that territory without a capi-
tol, which is absolutely necessary. It is
provided in tho memorial that $50,000 more
money shall be raised by the people of
Guthrie and vicinity.
Mr. Manson introduced the memorial at
the reouest of tho Guthrie peoplo. If the
committee on appropriations will put up
the money Guthrie will be the capital for
all time to come. At present the exact
point of the future capital 13 indefinite.
THE world's fair.
The appointment of Henry Exall of
Dallas and Henry King as alternate, as
commissioners at largo, by Harrison, is
commented on her* as a great honor to
Texas. Gooruia and Texas are honored
among the southern states, and In tho case
of Georgia only tho commissioner, Inman,
is appointed, while his alternate is from
Kentucky.
John T. Dickinson, who was appointed as
a commissioner from Texas by Governor
Ross, assisted the Chicago people in their
fight for the fair, and Is now tho strongest
man for the place of secretary of the board
of commissioners. It is remarked as quite
a coincident that the president of the Texas
Fair and Dallas exposition and the secret
iary of the San Antonio fair last year
should both be called on to assist Cbicago
in her effort to make her world's fair a suc-
cess.    
CONSERVATIVE MEMBER!) UNEASY;
appropriation bills piling up.
Washington, May 36.—ISpeciei]—Con-
servative members of congress are begin-
ning to feel a little uneasy about the way
appropriation bills are piling up. The
amount of appropriations in tho bills
already passed and pending point to an ags
gregate that will exceed the government
revenues by many millions during the com-
ing fiscal year. The government revenue
from all sources for the year. Including the
Sostal revenue, was placed by the treasury
epartment at $450,400,000. The regular
annual appropriation bills, exclusive of the
deficiency, will amount to about $323,000,-
000, and the permanent appropriations, in-
cluding bank.ng funds, will reach $101,000,-
000. Tho deficiency bills will, aocording to
the estimates of the members of the senate
appropriation committee, be at least $31,-
000,000. That makes an aggregate of $455,.
600,000 of appropriation, exclusive of ;the
dependent pension bill, which, if it becomes
a law as passed by the senate, will call for
1,000.000. Appropriations £91 tb« lacrersa
of the navy, as passed by the house, amount
to 18,000,000. There has been $1,500,000 appro-
priated for the world's fair. If the river
and harbor bill aud tlio Galveston harbor
bill and that for 11 channel between the up-
per nnd lower lakes pass, that will make
$32,000,000 more to be added to the appro-
priation.
The miscellaneous appropriations at the
last short session amounted to $10,355,907,
and they arc likely to amount to a good
deal more at this session, as tho public
building bills already reported in the house
carry an aggregate appropriation of $14,»
000,000, to say nothing of the senate bills.
But if the miscellaneous appropriations
carry only the same amount as at the last
sesRlonthe total appropriations will amount
to $547,355,795, leavlug a deficiency of $97,-
000,000. Tliesa figures and estimates leave
out of sight tho possible appropriations for
coast defense, the direct tax bill and many
other purposes wnlcb, if made, will swoll
the deficit next year considerably above
$100,000,000.
FIFTt-FlRST CONGRESS.

Immediately after the reading of the
journal the oath of office was administered
by the vice-president to Mr, Carllslo as

Mr. Plumb offered a resolution instruct-
ing the finance committee to prepare and
report, in connection with the tariff bill, a
statement showing the duties levied mider

bill to be reported by the committee, such
duties to be stated in parallel columns; and
especially if the committee should recom-
mend new duties or tho increase of existing
duties to state the reasons in each case for
such addition or lncrense.
Mr. Reagan moved to amond the resolu-
tion so as to require in case* of compound
duties, speclfllc and ad valorem, a column
showing the equivalent ad valorem amount
of the duty.
Mr, Allison moved to insert in Mr.
Reagan's amendment the words "where
practicable."

ponricnr,, and Character.
New Haven, Conn., Miy 26,—[Fpcclal]—
Here is what Hon. Cnauncey M. Depew
said at the meeting of tha Railroad En-
gineers' brotherhood here yesterday:
You have ju.it seen in the Vale Glue club
a specimen of the Vale student its ho is. la
mo you see what a Vale student comes to.
1 will tiay at the ou'set, and say it as presi-
dent of tho New York Central and Hudson
Rivor railroad, that every word uttered by
your chief as to tho purposes and intentions
of tbe brotherfrcod is indorsed by me. [Ap-
plause.] 1 am surprised to see so many of
you looking so young. A committee of fire-
men waited on me. They wanted to dis-
cuss the matter of ptomofion, and oue of
them, fifty years old, said that they would
lie 100 years old before some of the engineer*
died and gave them a chance.
The good conduct of tha brotherhood i*
such that they will uever get discharged.
The brotherhood, however, Is n survival of
tbe fittest and some firemen might live to
be 1000 years old and never become engi-
neers. 1 want to say to you that I am not
here to make a speech, but simply because
I want to be here. There are a few thing*
about the relations of tha president *0 the
employes of a railroad which 1 would liko
to say. We both draw out salaries from
tho hame treasury. Tho president of the
company has his duty to perform to the
stockholders of the road, hut it is not, as
many of yousuppose, bis only duty. While
he must seo to it that a proper economy is
maintained and tho earning power deveK
oped,he must see that tho public at all time*
get the best possible scrvlco and that the
men in the employ of the company are
treated well. It is his duty to march out
and take by the throat and throttle any
man who, in bis brief authority, treads ou
the toes of some oue of the men under him.
The railroad goes ou forevtr and the men
in its employ realize the security of their
sinploymeiit and It gives to thorn an inde-
pendence which is their right. The rail,
road man must havo intelligence. He uiuat
havswhat tho Yankee terms faculties, or
be cau not stay in the service. He
also have a shnrjQfjr, even lie
works arourr] (ho depot smiaohinii baggage
[!fiu&titer], andeyery body knows it.
When I go back to tny nativa village from
time to tims I recall the boys of my school-
days, who <veFo Jack, ijarry, _ lijil and
Chauncey. One of them, 1 see, is the pro-
prietor of the best store lntown.Otbers hold
this and that position, but some of thein are
dead and their families loft in poverty on
account of rum. Somo time ago I was look-
ing up some matters regarding the progress
of civilization. I learned tliur. our laws
come from Great Britain, where, prior to
100 years ago, labor had no voice in her leg-
islation? The statutes which were found
were enough to mako tha hair stand on a
bald man's head, and to read them gives
you such a circulation of blood that vou
hare to put a pieca of ice ou your pulse The
law fixed wages and made it a crime for
iabor to meet and combine for its own pro-
tection.
It is not for mo to speak of federation,
but I will say that during tho years I have
been president of the Now York Central I
havo never had any trouble with your
brotherhood which has not been settled in
llvo minutes. In every instance my own
judgment has coincided with yours. In no
Instance whore investigation has dotecced u
man dlreloct in duty but that your repre-
sentatives have said to me: "You are right,
Mr. Depew." Your chief here has said 'I:at
every oue has lied. He forgot George
Washington. I sometimes think it a
great privilege and mercy thut we can
lie. A fellow wluj js too goody-goody £
don't employ. It ho iv.'is subjected to
temptation ho might break down under it.
The differences between labor and capital
■ has beeu better solved by tho brotherhood
than by any labor organization. In tho old
tirno tue engineer catuo tothaoid president.
He referred him to tho old time superin-
tendent, who told tbe engineer to go prema-
turely to a place where he would not need
au overcoat. When 1 entered into the pres-
idency of the New York Central I made a
change, and said to the C5.000 employes of
the road that the door of my office was al-
ways open to them. No trouble has ever
arisen that has not been settled in an hour.
Tho magnetism of tho railroad service, I
suppose, creates tho brotherhood and other
organizations, but'the 0110 which impresses
me most of ali is jour organization, not be-
causo you earn more nay, but because with
you lies tho responsibility, Scarcely a week
goes by that my attention is not called to
the bravery of some engineer, whereby an
accident has been averted. With me the
word of the brotherhood is a bond that can
not be broken in your great mission of
making labor honored and respected. See
to it that yon preserve this brotherhood
until the last trumpet makes us all brother*
in another world.
