TBI GOVERNOR TRIUMPHS.
Anti-Prile Fight Bills, With Bmargeaoy
Clause, Adopted by tht Stat#
Ltgiilttnr*.
Austin, Tex., Oct. 2. -There
will be no prize fight at Dallas
October 31 between Corbett and
FUzsimmons. This tact was set-
tled this afternoon by the Texas
legislature in exactly three hours
by the watch. The two com-
mittees, one in the senate and the
other in the house, gave an audi-
ence to the Dallas attorneys all
the morning to ascertain their ob-
jections and protests to the pass-
age ot the law.
The bill that will prohibit prize
fighting in Texas in the future
reads as follows:
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the legis-
lature of the state of Texas; That any
person who snail voluntarily engage
in a pugilistic encounter between
man and man, or a fight between a
mail and a bull or any other animal,
for money or other thing of value, or
for any championship, or upon the re-
sult of which any money or anything
of value is bet or wagered, or "to see
which any admission fee is charged,
either directly or indirectly, shall be
deemed guilty of a felony, and upon
FiSJ.
Several Largs Oottoa Mill* are the Seise
of the Ooiflageratioi.
Wabren, E. I., Oct. 3. —One of
the largest fires that has ever oc-
curred in Southeast New England
broke out to-night in the three
mills of the Warren Manufactur-
ing company, situated about an
eighth of a mile from the center
of this town, and before it was
gotten under control it had swept
through five large cotton mills,
two warehouses, small sheds,
freight cars and other property,
causing a loss which is estimated
at more than a million dollars.
The fire started in the wash
room near the engine room of No.
1 mill, and spread with great
rapidity through the building and
threateded adjoining property.
Help was summoned from Bristol,
Fall River and Provideuce. An
engine from Bristol, one from
Fall liiver and two steamers, two
hose carts and three companies
from from Providence responded,
arriving on special trains. The
conviction shall be punished by im-
prisonment in the penitentiary not j scene when these out-ol-town

without gloves, between two men for

or for anj' championship, or for any
other thing of value, or upon the re-
sult of which any money or anything
of value is bet or wagered.

What is generally conceded in
Philadelphia to lie one of the most de-
sirable building sites 111 the city lias

Bailey at Mt. Pleasant.
Mt. Pleasant, Tex., Oct. 2.—
Congressman Joe Bailey address-
ed a large audience at the opera
house this evenving. If anybody
has been laboring under the delu-
sion that the "free silver craze''
was dying in this section the en-
directions. By most persistent
and assiduous efforts, however,
the firemen gained control of the
conilagration at midnight, but all
that was left of the big factories
was one house, and the tenements
were blazing ruins.
The entire contents of the plant
were destroyed. The loss is over
a million and a half dohars.
The three mills destroyed were
each five story buildings, and con-
tained 87,000 spindles, and em-
ployed 1000 operatives.

A Free Silver Victory.
The action of the democratic
state convention of the eighteenth
congressional district is a suf-
ficient answer to the charge of
Palmer, Cable and others that the
Illinois state convention which
declared in favor of free silver
was packed, and that the silver
sentiment is dead 111 the state.
The convention adopted the fol-
lowing resolution:
We demand the free and unlim-
limited coinage of silver and gold
at a ratio of l(i to 1, without wait-
ing for the consent or action of
any foreign government.
This resolution was alopted
unanimously. There was no fight
over it. Not a word was spoken
nor a vote cast against it. It goes
on record as the demand of every
democrat in the Eighteenth Illi-
nois district.
But the convention emphasized
this unanimous declaration of its
political faith by nominating a
candidate who had avowed his
advocacy of the platform in ad-
vance of the nomination and who
made a fair and square light on
the free silver issue. Edward
Lane, the nominee, was the leader
of the free silver compaign, and
his next strongest nominee was a
free silver man.—St. Louis Post-
Dispatch.

Reduced the Yield.
Kopperl, Tex., Oct. 2.—The
recent cold snap will greatly dam-
age the top crop of cotton, thus
cutting the yield down smaller
than was expected. As most of
the farmers counted on a heavy
top crop. More than half the
crop has been gathered and the
principal part marketed.
The extra session might cost
the state $30,000, but if the prize
fight is stopped it will bo the best
$30,000 the people of Texas ever
spent. Gov. Culberson believes
that advertising pays, and lie pro-
poses to advertise to the world
that Texas is a dignified state and
has some regard for morals. If
Texas is advertised at all it wants
to be advertised in the right way.

that there was no cure for it. I was
