News Notes.
Houston, Tex., May 5.—The members of
the Travelers' Protective association had
their meeting last night at the Light Guard's
armory. The most important matter of
public interest was the reading of an invi-
tation from the management of the Galves-
ton semi-centennial to attend the eelebra-
tion. It was duly appreciated, and they de-
cided to attend in a body on Drummers'
flay as many as possible. The bid was ac-
cepted with a vote of thanks.
FIRE DEPARTMENT ELECTION. •
The chosen representatives of the various
companies of the Houston fire department
should meet at the chief's office in the mar-
ket-house to-morrow (Monday) evening for
the purpose of selecting a chief and other
department officers to serve for a year, but
it is likely that the election will be post-
poned to Wednesday evening, when a very
Important meeting will be held. It is known
by those on the inside how the delegates
from each company stand, and, as before
indicated in the Bayou city locals, a hand-
some majority will vote for the re-election
of E. H. Parker to the position of chief,
which he has so ably filled for the past
term. Others who have a backing are
Messrs. Frank McGowan and Thomas Mar-
tin, both active and able firemen. The can-
didates for the position of first assistant
are J. Walker, Jake Ollre and Carn Four-
ney. It is predicted that the race for second
place will be very close and highly inter-
esting. Each of the strong candidates has
freat popularity among the gallant fire
oys.

There is a negro man going around town
claiming to be the deputy city scavenger,
and making people believe that it is his
duty to clean their premises. He even
throws out threats about what will be done
if they do not give him the work, for which
he charges $2, when, as a matter of fact, the
regular and legal charge in ordinary cases
is only $1 25. Ho is a black negro, with red-
dish pop-eyes, and it is said that ho even
becomes insulting in his insolence where he
finds a lady on the premises and no gentle-
men. The regular deputy scavenger is S.
G. Lenard, a polite colored man.

Fort Wayne, Ind., May 5.—A wedding
of more than ordinary interest was per-
formed here to-day by Squire France. The
groom, Aurelia Payne, is past 70, while the

been married eight times, has buried six
wives, was divorced from the seventh, and

THE WHITE LEAD TRUST.
A Keported Movement to Absorb the Whlto
Lead Companies of St. Louis.
St. Louis, Mo., May 5.—A special dis-
patch from New York stating that Henry
H. Rogers and W. P. Thompson of the
Standard Oil company had left that city
Friday night for St. Louis to consummate
arrangements for taking hold of the white
lead trust and probably absorbing the white
lead companies here, has caused qui to a stir
in commercial circles. Colonel Thomas
Richeson, president of the Collier White
Lead company, when approached on the
subject, said: The white lead trust has
been in existence for over a year. It is
composed, I believe, of all the principal
white lead companies in the country with
the exception of the Southern White Lead
company and the Collier company ol St.
Louis, the Atlantic White Lead company
of New York and, I believe, ono or two
others.
In regard to the purchase of lead trust
stock by the Standard Oil company mag-
nates, I know nothing, nor was I aware
that Mr. Rogers and Colonel Thompson of
the Standard Oil company were about to
visit St. Louis for the purpose of taking
hold of the trust and probably absorbing
the Collier and Southern companies.
William H. Putsifer, president of the St.
Louis Lead and Oil company, when shown
the telegram from New York, said: "The
source of the information is correct, but it
is my opinion that your correspondent
probably jumped at conclusions too quick-
Notwithstanding the statements of the
local lead men to the effect that they did
not credit the story about Messrs. Rogers
and Thompson of the Standard oil com-
pany, those gentlemen arrived in St. Louis
this morning and are quartered at the
Southern hotel. An Associated Press re-
porter called and found Mr. Rogers affable
and in a measure communicative.
"We are here," said Mr. Rogers, "princl
pally on personal matters, but incidentally
to look after other affairs."
"Do" you contemplate the absorption of
the St. Louis White Lead company, not
now in the trustf"
"That is a question I am willing but un-
able to answer. We shall certainly meet
the St. Louis lead men while here, for busi-
ness reasons. What may come out of the
conference 1 am as ignorant of as an out-
sider nt present. A iead combination, how-
ever, with St. Louis out, would be like
Hamlet with Hamlet out."
Mr. Rogers c6uld not be induced to state
anything more definite, but it is known
here that the local lead men will meet
Messrs. Rogers and Thompson to-morrow,
when something more tangible will likely
be ascertained.
LETTER FROM JEFF DAVIS
To the Confederate Soldiers' Association of
Alabama—Housing Meeting Held.
Birmingham, Ala., May 5.—The Confed-
erate Soldiers' Association of Alabama
held a rousing meeting here yesterday. The
object of the gathering is to take steps such
as are being pushed in Georgia to establish
a confederate soldiers' home in Alabama.
During the meeting Colonel Jones, secre-
tary, read the following spirited message
from Mr. Davis:
Beauvoiu, Miss., April 17.—To Colonel
R. E. Jones—Dear Sir: Please accept my
thanks for your kind letter of the 14th. Tue
inclosed draft of the constitution and by-
laws of your organization of confederate
soldiers has been read with much satisfac-
tion.
To preserve the memories of a struggle
for constitutional rights is a duty we owe
not only to the past but to posterity. Never
was a cause more sacred or more heroically
maintained. Misrepresentation, however
malignant, can fix no indelible stain upon
your record. Truth may follow with tardy
steps the flight of falsehood, but it must at
last prevail. While from your shattered
fortunes you contribute to pension your as-
sailants, the maimed and needy of your
own comrades are left entirely to the sup-
port which can gratuitously be afforded by
their impoverished brethren. Well and
nobly do you purpose to perform this duty.
May God bless your efforts. To each and all
the members of the organization I tender
assurance of the paternal regard with which
lam, Jefferson Davis.
More Danmark Pa3seng:ers Landed.
New York, May 5.—[Special]—The pas-
sengers of the steamship Danmark, which
foundered at sea, who had been left at the
Azores by the Missouri, were landed at Cas-
tle Garden from the steamship Wieland to
day. There were 320 of them. Their expe-
rience was similar to that of the rest
of them, who were brought here
two weeks ago by the Missouri. A man
named Rnismos j\uilerson died Friday when
the vessel was about tiOO miles out, but his
body was brought to shore and is now at
Castle Garden, awaiting the arrival of his
wife, who lives in Gower, Mich. The immi-
grants have left for varigus parts of the
country.
Wedding- Chim;s.

macher, the beautiful and accomplished

ried yesterday to l)r. H. T. Wolff of Marion.

and near friends of the contracting parties
being in attendance. ltev. Dr. George
Meuelder performed the ceremony. Numer-
ous and costly presents were lavished upon
the happy couple, who left after the cere-
mony for Galveston and an extended tour.
The Missouri Anti-Trust Bill.
St. Louis, Mo., May 5.—The house anti-
trust and pool bill, which passed tho senate

PARIS POINTERS.
Prison ers Brought In from the Indian Na-

Paris, Tex., May 5.—Deputy Marshal
Parker brought In a white man named
Charlie Box from Purcell, I. T., to-day,
charged with complicity in the murder of
Charlie Cook, near Painter's Ranch, I. T., a
few days ago. A man named Goldy is In
jail at Denison charged with the murder of
Cook and will be brought here to-morrow.
James Sarney, colored, was brought In
last night from Wheeloek, I. T., charged
with assault to kill a white man, whose
name was not learned. Three men went to
Sarney's and raised a difficulty with him
about something he had said, when one of
the men snapped a shotgun at Sarney, who
shot his assailant and fled. Sarney learned
that a posse was searching for him to mob
him and lie surrendered to Tobe Wright, a
merchant at Wheeloek, who brought
him here and lodged him in jail at a late
hour last night.
While out hunting late yesterday after-
noon Sandy Johnson shot John Cotton In
the head with a targot rifle, inflicting a
serious wound. Both parties are colored
boys, and the shooting was accidental.
A man named Stephens, a stranger, was
seriously cut on the arm in a brawl at
Jennie Ross' bagnio last night.
KILLED BY A NEGRO.
The Mayor of Covington, Term., Slain by a
Fugitive Negro.
Memphis, Tenn., May 5.—A tragedy oc-
curred near Covington, Tipton county,
Tenn., last niarht, which resulted in the
killing of W. T. Douglas, mayor of that
city. It seems that a warrant had been Is-
sued for the arrest of Henry Donaldson, a
negro who was charged with attempting
to rape a white woman, and Mayor Doug-
lass was one of the posse of ten men who
went to the negro's house to effect the a r-
rest. They found his cabin closed and
called upon htm to open the door. Receiv-
ing no answer, they gave warning
that unless the door was opened
they would break it down, at the
same time informing him that they
had a warrant for his arrest. Just at this
period a gun waS thrust through the door
and discharged by tho negro on the inside.
The contents struck Douglass, who was in
front, killing him instantly. Being dark,
and fearing another discharge, the posse
immediately retreated, and Donaldson suc-
ceeded in making his escape. He is still at
large. Mayor Douglass was very popular.
He was about 27 years of age, and leaves a
voung wife to mourn his sudden death. If
Donaldson is caught, law's delay will hardly
iuterfere with his immediate trial outside
of the temple of justice.

tle, less than $20,000 being drawn out, and
the bank had over $100,000 on hand to meet
it. The money was drawn out by farmers
and the business men still keep on deposit-
ing. The run is supposed be the result of
the panicky feeling' prevalent since the
Pratt embezzlement, and owing to rumors
of the closing out of the Anoka lumber
business.
