Dallas, Tex., Aug. 4.—In the application
for an injunction in the case of Hart vs. Cox,
heard by Judge McCormick to-day in the
federal court, a very interesting question was
raised. In 1889 E. J. Hart recovered a judg-
ment for about 1000 aereB of land
in McLennan county, and the defendants,
T. B. Cox and others, also got judgment
for improvements made in good faith and
judgment allowing plaintiff twelve months in
which to pay for said improvements, and if he
should not do bo in that time six months was
allowed defendant in which to pay for the
land, the value of which was found by the
jury's verdict. If both should neglect to pay
as provided then writ of possession should be
issued to plaintiff.
This case was appealed to the United
States supreme court and the judgment was
affirmed. On the receipt of the mandate
from the supreme court plaintiff's attorney
applied for writ of possession, which was duly
issued by the clerk of the United StateB cir-
cuit court at Waco.
Defendants claiming that the time allowed
fot payment did not commence to run until
the. date of the affirmation of the judgment
by the supreme court, then applied for an in-
junction restraining the United States marshal
from executing the writ and the plaintiff
from taking possession of the land. After
hearing the motion and arguments of counsel
thereon this morning the court took the mat-
ter under advisement and will render his de-
cision in a few days.
Wrecked by a Bull,
Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 4.—The Louisville,
New Albany and Chicago vestibule train
which left here at 12.40 o'clock thiB morning
struck a bull that had become fastened in a
culvert at Broad Ripple, nine miles north.
The engine was thrown over, killing the engi-
neer, H. Metzker of Lafayette, and danger-
ously injuring the fireman, Charles Hall of
this city. The train remained intact on the
traok.

clerk there are from three to five candidates
out for every county office. The canvass is
beginning to warm up and the campaign
promises to be a lively one with politics out
of sight.
The nomination at Houston of Judge H.
Clay Pleasants creates universal satisfaction
in this section, where he is best known. His
ability and fitness for the position are unques-
tionable and while there are those who have
at times differed with him in his interpreta-
tion of the law, no one ever questioned his
Surity of motive apd integrity of character.

and work in his own behalf is characteristic

THE HOUSE TROUBLES PRACTICALLY
ENDED.
The World's Fair Appropriation Will Go
Through and Congress Will End
Probably on Saturday.
ABSOLUTELY. PURE
Washington, Aug. 4.—[Special.]—The pro-
position submitted to the democratic caucus
by the peace committee was carried out to a
certain extent this morning. The sundry
civil bill was sent back to the conference com-
mittee with the indorsement that tho house
does not agreo to the amendment put on it in
the senate whereby $5,000,000 were appropri-
ated to the world's fair. The agreement was
further complied with by the house in that the
Durburrow bill giving the fair five millions
direct was amended by a substitute by which
the amount was cut down one half. Then the
consideration of the bill as amended com-
menced, but before this was dono a resolution
was passed by which a vote should be taken
on the bill as amended at 1 o'clock to-mor-
row. There was some confusion as to what
was the result of the caucus and several
speeches were made. It was contended by
Mr. McMillin and Mr. Bailey that the caucus
at no time indorsed the proposition that the
house majority should perpetuate the cloture,
but Mr. Reilly, who was leading as the friend
of the fair, explained that the caucus had
agreed to the following propositions:
First. That tho sundry civil bill should bo
reconsidered and sent back to tho conference;
that tho Durburrow bill should bo amended so
as to cut the appropriation as a gift from five
to two and a half millions, and that a vote
should be takon on this bill as amended on a
day no later than Saturday.
His proposition was to have a vote on Friday
at 2 o'clock. Then the proposition to carry
out the caucus agreement with the house,
fixed for 1 o'clock on Friday, came up.
Mr. Bailey moved to adjourn. This was
voted down by a vote approximating 180 to 7.
The seven consisted of Bailey, Kiigoro, Long,
Antony, Pierce of Tennessee, Everett of
Georgia and another member.
The demand for a yea and nay division was
voted down by the same vote, and the oppo-
nents of the action of the caucus could make
no headway at all.
Mr. Bailey mado a speech, which was lis-
tened to with attention. He opposed the ap-
propriation on the ground that the govern-
ment had no authority to apply the taxes to
the support of or in aid of a fair. The prece-
dent was bad. His remarks were extended
and drove directly at the point that the gov-
ernment had no right either to loan money or
give it to such enterprises.
Mr. Culberson also made a speech. Ho
said the advocates of the fair appropriation
had agreed to take the appropriation off the
sundry civil bill after it had passed both the
aenato and hoiwo. la ore tmul this, it had
agreed to cut down its demands one half
after those demands had been agreed to by
both houses. They were standing to their
agreement. That was all. Ho wbb gainst
the appropriation and should vote against it.
Mr. Culberson's argument, was listened to
with the greatest of interest and he was warm-
ly applauded when he was through.
Mr. Reed mado a few side remarks in his
sent which wildly excited the risibilities of the
republicans in the press and other gaiiories as
any remark of Mr. Reed always does, whether
he intends to be humorous or not.
The appropriation of $j0,(XX) to ascertain
how far the colored people have progressed
was voted down, as was likewise tho appro-
priations for tho Indians and women.
Mr. Kilgore made remarks against tho bill,
and had road his speech delivered when tho
fir6t application for the bill was granted, in
which he said tho demand then would be fol-
lowed by still further demands. It is agreed
now on ail sides that the bill will pass. Last
night the opposition was hopeful and believed
the bill could bo defeated. They had assur-
ances of tho return of absent members who
were opposed to tho appropriation, and they
were in fine feathers. But their coiifideuce has
greatly abated to-day, mid to-night they con-
code that they are defeated. This comes from
the faot that the members aro not coming back
as expected, and besides several changes have
been made among the members in favor of tho
bill. This was discouraging to the opponents
of the measure, and they have virtually thrown
up the sponge.
Strange to say the friends of the appropria-
tion this morning were in tho throos of de-
spondency. They thought they had lost all
cniinoe of winning. But the lobbyists booh
got together, cast up calculafions and hope
soon took tho place of despondoncy. To-night
they say they will win by at least fifteen ma-
jority. This is the most conservative esti-
mate. I talked to one of the leadors of the
opposition this evening and he thought his
side would bo beaten by about twenty votes.
Even the filibusters who aro still hanging out
concede they might beat by a majority of ten.
Congress will devote itself to getting ready
to adjourn as soon as this bill passes. Some
of the members think it is possible to get
away on Saturday, while others think it can not
dissolve before Monday. That day, howover,
is tho latest day set for the dying hours of this
most remarkable body. As soon as this bill
passes dozens of members will leave. They
will hardly wait one hour because perhaps
never in the history of the country have both
political sides been more uneasy and mora
anxious to get home among tho people.
To Admit Them.
Washington, Aug. 4.—Durburrow of Illinois
to-day reported to tho house from the commit-
tee on the Columbian exposition tho aenato
joint resolution authorizing foreign exhibitors
at the world's fair to bring to us foreign labor-
ers from their respective countries for the pur-
pose of preparing for and making their ex-
hibits.
Caused No Comment.
Washington, Aug. 4.—the report that tho
British government has taken formal posses-
sion of Johnson island in the Pacific, docs not
excite much interest in official circles for tho
reason that the island is of no value for strate-
gic purposes and its supply of guano is practi-
cally exhausted.
FIFTY-SECOND CONGRESS.
Senate.
Washington, Aug. 4.—The session of tha
senato to-day was simply an exhibition of a
waiting game in legislation.
A joint resolution oxtending until August 10
appropriations for service of the government
in the various bureaus covered by tho sundry
civil bill was received from tho house and
passed.
The resolution reportod yesterday from tho
committee on contingent expenses authoriz-
the committee oil the quadro centennial to
visit the world's fair buildings to obtain in-
formation as to expenditures was rejected.
After receiving a message from the house
that that body insisted on disagreement to tho
world's fair amendments to tlie sundry civil
bill and requested a further conference, the
senate adjourned till 2 o'clock to-morrow'.
Washington, Aug. 4.—The sossion of the
house to-day was important and interesting,
although not exciting. .
Mr. Hoinian made a motion to suspend the
rules and send the sundry civil bill to a further
conference. Agreed to, 111 to 5.
MosBrs. Ilolman, Sayers and Bingham were
appointed conferees.
Mr. Reilly of Pennsylvania mo ved to sus-
pend the rules and adopt a nsolutiou, provid-
ing that immediately after its adoption the
house proceed to the consul-ration of the sub-
stitute for the Durborjow bill, such substitute
to bo considered an original bill,
Consideration shall ooulmue from day to
day and at 1 o'clock to-morrow tho committee
of the whole shall report tho bill to the house,
and tho previous question be considered as
ordered on its passage.
No intervening motions shall bo entertained
until the bill is finally disposed of.
Mr. Bailey of Texas demanded a second and
it was ordered by a vote of 163 to nothing.
Mr. Bailey protested against the resolution as
being a highhanded, unprecedented proceed-
ing. The resolution violates tho agreement of
the democratic caucus. Nowhere in the agree-
ment was there any resolution requiring dem-
ocrats to vote for the cloture resolution. The
adoption of tho ponding resolution meant that
the treasury doors were open and an Illinois
corporation permitted to walk in and tako out
$2,500,000.
Mr. Culberson of Texas took issue with his
colleague and urged the faithful carrying out
of an honorable agreement.
Mr. Reilly's resolution was then agreed to—
187 to 7.
Then Mr. Bailey started on a brief course of
filibustering. He rooeived no backing, how-
ever, and after a few minutes his parliament-
ary string came to an end and Mr. Reilly was
recognized to call up the Durbarrow bill,
amended so as to provide for an appropriation
of $2,500,000. The bill was considered in com-
mittee of the whole, Mr. Dockery of Missouri
in the chair.
It was agroed that there should be no gen-
eral debate but that the special debate (live
minutes) should be extended to ton minutes.
Piekler moved to increasu tho sum appro-
priated to fair to five million. Lost. So
was an amendment offered by Dickerson of
Kentucky striking out the appropriation.
Atkmon of Pennsylvania offered an amend-
ment prohibiting the sale of intoxicating
liquors on the fair grounds. This led to
discussion involving tho question of sale of
liquors in the houso restaurant and the recent
charge made by Watson, but nothing come
of it.
Atkiuon's amendment was defeated.
The committee arose Cod the house ad-
journed.

were murdered.

yesterday;
Gladstone Given a Warm Reception by tie
People—Peel Eleoted Speaker.
Foreisn News Items,
London, Aug. 4.—This morning opened
with clear skies and the bright weather lasted
throughout the day. A large crowd, in which
were many ladies, was Been gathered in West-
minster place yards, watching for the arrival
of new members of the now parliament and
cheering loudly when friends and leaders ap-
peared.
Mr. Gladstone, accompanied by his wife,
left his residence in Carieton garden at 2
o'clock and was driven in the smartest sort of
an open carriage, attended by a footman, to
tho parliament building. All along tho route
he was given an ovation by tne crowds which
gathered to seo him pass, Upon arrival at tho
palace yard the police on duty there were un-
ablo to restrain the crowd, which became al-
most wild in its endeavors to do honor to the
head of tho liberal party.
Balfour and Goschon walked to the house.
They were greeted with loud hoots and groans
by the crowds. Both gentlemen appeared
greatly amused by the demonstrations.
The rising of Gladstone to second the mo-
tion for the re-election of Peel us speaker of
tho house was tho signal for renewed cheors
by the opposition.
Gladstone in his remarks paid a graceful
tribute to l'oel and expressed the hopo that no
discordant note would be heard during the
vote and Peel's induction into tho chair as
speaker.
After the re-election of Peel was announced
he was conducted to the chair by Balfour
with the usual ceremonies, and addressed tho
house briefly, thanking it for tin; honor, etc.
At the conclusion of the spoech an adjourn-
ment was takon until to-morrow.
When Michael Davitt reached tho lobby of
the house he was given a warm reception by
his colleaguos. Upon taking his seat on the
Irish bench he was scanned with curiosity by
the conservatives, and whisperings wore heard
ominous of their intention to contest his right
to take the oath.
Sixty-six McCaithyites sat in the committee
room and re-elected Justin McCarthy sessional
chairman; Mr. Deasy, Sir T. Esmond, Mr.
Malloy and Dr. Tanner of Whips and Arthur
O'Connor and Donald Sullivan as secretaries.
The meeting then balloted for eight members
of the executive committee, the following be-
ing chosen: _ Messrs. Blake, Davitt, Dillon,
M. Healy, Win. O'Brien, Arthur O'Connor, T.
P. O'Connor and Sexton.
McCarthy was elected as a mere figure-
head, to keep the differences in abeyance.
Rival leaders have personally loss authority
than ever. Thoy can not answer telegrams
about their position without submitting them
to the real working chiefs.
The McCarthyites will meet again to-mor-
row. It has been decided that they will con-
tinue to sit on the opposition side of tho
house, although they will co-operate with tho
Gladstonians on the home rule bill.
House of Lords.
London, Aug. 4.—There was tho usual
meagre attendance at the openingof the lords
to-day. The lord chancellor announced tho
opening of parliament by the commission,
and the clerk read letters patent. The pro-
ceedings occupied twenty minutes. The houso
was then cleared of visitors, after which Bishop
of Ripon read prayers and an adjournment
was taken until to-morrow.
An Outrage.
London, Aug. 4.—A dastardly outrage was
perpetrated last evening at Chisolhurst, Kent.
As Miss Woods, daughter of the vicar of
Bickley and niece of Hon. George Goschon,
chancellor of the exchequer, was walking
along the road with a friend they were ap-
proached by two men carrying guns. Tho
men accosted Miss Woods and friend. Their
advances were repulsed and Miss Woods' com-
panion lied and succeeded in escaping, but
Miss Woods was not so fortunate. She was
assaulted and fired upon. The shot took ef-
fect in her face. She waB rendered uncon-
scious by tho wound and found lying in tho
road in that condition by a searching party
which was organized as soon as tho alarm had
been given by her friend. The assailants es-
caped.
more details.
Further details of the outrago committed
near Chileshurst last evening upon Miss
Woods and her companion show that both
Miss Woods and her friond, a young lady
named Phi'ibrick, were dangerously injured,
the former by being shot in the face with a
carbine and the latter by being struck on tho
head with the butt end of a carbine. Both
were rendered unconscious by their injuries
and for some time lay in the road where thoy
fell. Miss Woods was the first to recover con-
sciousness. After a short time spent in the
vain endeavor to revive her companion she
with great difficulty crawled along the road to
the nearest cottage 600 yards away and gave
the alarm. A party was formod to search for
the girls' assailant, while another went to the
sceno of the assault to remove Miss Philbriek
to the cottage. The latter soon returned,
bearing the still unconscious girl. Miss Woods
is only 16 years old. After a short search tho
party who were hunting about near the scene
of the assault for traces of the men who com-
mitted the crime, came upon a man named
ManklOw, who was acting in a suspicious
manner. Ho was at once taken into custody,
and despite protestations that he knew noth-
ing of the crime, was compelled to accompany
the party back to the cottage. Upon arriving
Mauklow was identified as one of the men
who assaulted the ladies. Miss Philbriek'*
condition is considered critical.

United States consul at Copenhagen, who is
now under arrest there, will amount to 200,-
000 kroner. Tho relations existing between
Consul Kyder and Hon. R. C. Carr, the Amer-
ican minister to Denmark, have long been

ed his government to recall Mr. Ryder. The
lattcr's friends in the state department at

in avoiding this action. In respouse to a tel-
egram from the Danish government the

sul and render judgment in the case in accord-
ance with the Danish law.

The El Reno Bank.
El Reno, Ok., Aug. 4.—The committoe ai>-
pointed by C. L. Severy, assignee of the de-
funct bank of El Reno, has just mado a par-
tial statement of tho condition of the bank
books nnd tho financial standing of the presi-
dent of the concern, S. M. Sawyer. The de-
posits of the bank aro shown to be a littlo
over $7000, but such vehemont protests wero
made by citizens that the accountants refused
to act further as examiners. Sawyer credited
tho assets in tho books as $20,000. but this ac-
count represents city property, which is noarlv
all contested and really of no valuo at all.
The partial statement of tho committee has
intensified the fooling against Sawyer, andono
of the most prominent attorneys in tho city
said this morning that unless Sawyer or his
wifo made a speedy settlement with the do-
uositors ho would be prosocuted for larcenv.
Fresno, Cal., Aug. 4.—Passenger train No.
1«, south bound, was held up by train robbers
| six miles oast of Cillis last night. Two of
the robbers crawled over tho tank to the en-
gine and ordered tho engineer and fireman to
stop tho train. Thoy made tho engineer walk
ahead a quarter of a mile, and compelled tho
fireman to stay with thorn. Thoy then went to
the express car and ordered the messenger to
open. He refused and the robbers throw six
or seven dynamite bombs at tho doors, com-
pletely demolishing them. They then forced
open the safe and took out the money, the
amount not known. They mado tho
fireman help them carry the treasure
to a distance and then galloped off on
horscback. Tho robbers' faces were masked
with light cloth. The engine was injured by
bombs exploding under it. One of the ox-
press messenger's ribs was broken. The train
was the southbound night express leaving San
Francisco at 5.50 p. m. The sum contained
in the messenger's safe is thought to havo
been between $30,000 and $50,000. Several
doputy sheriffs from southern counties of tho
state aro stated to havo boon on board tho
train, but no rosistence wa3 offered to the
robbers. Roberts, when ordered to open tho
Wells, Fargo & Co.'b safe, set about doing it,
but was so excited and nervous ho forgot the
combination and so informed his captors, who
struck him a heavy blow on tho hoad with a
gun, and threatened to kill him if he did not
immediately opon tho safe.. With trembling
hands he did so, and thoy took out the sacks
of coin.
When the desperadoes exploded the car-
tridge on the engine the passengers put heads
out of the windows to see what was going on
but drew thorn back again when they found
pistol bullets and buckshot whistling past
thoir ears.
A panic ensued, the passengers making a
wild scramble under the seats to keep out of
range of flying missiles. The express car was
shattered into atoms by the concussion.
Alter tho highwaymen mado their escapo
into the darkness the engineer sent a short
dispatch to the agent in this city announcing
that the tram had been held up and the train
proceeded slowly on its way, arriving here an
hour and twenty minutes late.
The time occupied in blowing open the car
and securing the treasure was not more than
twenty-five or thirty minutes. A large crowd
was at the depot awaiting tho arrival of the
train. Although two ineu appeared to do the
principal part of the work, it is believed there
were several confederates for several buck-
shot swero found embedded in the rear of the
songer coach.

olic circles as a certainty that at the next

A Letter From Mr. Cleveland.
Brockton, Mass., Aug. 4.—Ex-President
Cleveland, in regard to the claim that taking
off the tariff on Australian wool would enaolo
manufacturers to produce fine wool goods in
this country, has written, in reply to a tetter
from C. L. Chapin, as follows: l4I am glad
to receive your letter of July!). 1 am glad
you enlisted in the causa which I believe is
near to tho lute rests of tho people—honest
tariff reform. The plan which you suggest
is a very good one, for it is intended to in-
struct the people concerning the uuestion. it
seems to mo that the man who understands
the matter as practically as you do would bo
very useful in the field. 1 am inclined to
think those who have adosiro to instruct on
this subject are often hampered in their use-
fulness by a failure to bo plain and simple in
their statements. I am convinced you have
in you power to avoid this danger."
