For the information of a certain
prominent clerical citizen of this
cito, much given to marrying run-
away couples for pay, we give the
following extract from the revised
statutes of Texas. Article 2839
ssya:
Males under sixteen and females
under fourteen years of age shall not
marry. Article 525 of the penal
code reads: If a female under the
age of fourteen be taken for the pur-
pose of marriage or prostitution,
from her parent, guardian, or other
per-on having the legal charge of
her it is abduction whether she con-
sent or not, and although a marriage
afterwards takes place between the
parties. _

The Eastern papers furnish the
following particulars of the little
misunderstanding that Sam Small,
the living example of a modern
miracle (see last issue of The Battle
Flag) is having with a Cincinnati
jeweler: While in that city the
Rev. Mr. Small purchased a dia-
mond locket for his wife, a diamond
cluster ring, two small w’atches, a lot
of silverware,another gold watch and
chain, and another lot of silverware.
Oa these purchases he owed a bal-
ance of some $330, for which the
jeweler has sued him. Mr. Small’s
first excuse for not meeting the note
he had given for $150, and the bal-
ance of the account, was that
“Brother Jones,” his revivalist part-
ner, had not settled with the mana-
gers of the camp-mee\ing near
Lancaster, Ohio, and therefore he,
• Small, was short of funds, but would
be Hush in a few days. | The next
excuse was a further “stand-off” of
the bill. The third excuse was that
in trying to collect the debt Mr.
St^inau, the jeweler, was black-
mailing him. The matter is now in
the courts for adjustment.
f4 Oh! my head aches, and I am
unable to attend to my business,” is

Disgraced Again.
Our government has another dis-
graceful scandal to answer for if the
reports from the City of Mexico are
true. It is said the newly appointed
minister to Mexico, Hon. Thomas
II. Manning, of Louisiana, got on
a disgraceful debauch soon after his
arrival at the city, which lasted four
days. It commenced at a banquet
tendered him by Mr. M. L. Guirard,
a leading member of the American
colony. Mr. Manning and his friends
made every possible effort to keep
the disgraceful affair out of the
papers, but the matter became so
notorious throughout the city that
the papers could no longer maintain
silence, and on the 23d the affair was
made public in the United States by
telegraph. It is said Mr. Manning,
seeing the affair could not be sup-
pressed, telegraphed to Secretary
Bayard, giving all the details. The
new minister will probably hand in
resignation. '

Death of Yioo-Fraaident Hoxie.
Mr. Herbert M. Hoxie, First
Vice-President of the Gould rail-
road system, died at his rooms in
New York city last Tuesday, at
2 130 a in. The cause of death was
exhaustion consequent upon an oper-
ation performed on him at Saratoga
in June last, removing stones from
his bladder. He had also suffered
from kidney disease for the last
thirty-five years. Mrs. Hoxie and
Capt. Hayes were with him when he
expired. Mr. Hoxie was a self-
made man, and was recognized, at
the time of his death, as one of the
greatest and most successtul railroad
managers the world ever produced.
He was born in Polk county, Iowa.
At the breaking out of the war he
had arrived at manhood and took an
active part in politics. He was soon
elected chairman of the Iowa State
Central Committee, and managed
the affairs of his party so success-
fully that he was made United States
marshal. Soon after the declaration
of peace he came to Texas and
settled in Palestine, where he be-
caqie connected with the manage-
ment of the International railroad.
When Mr. Gould organized what
was then known as the Wabash sys-
tem, Mr. Hoxie was chosen first
vice-president, with headquarters at
St. Louis, which responsible posi-
tion he held up to his decease.
The New Dnieon-Bherman Road.
^ Commissioner Tibbs informs the
Gazetteer that the Commissioners’
Court has ordered the new road open-
ed between Denison and Sherman.
It runs north from Sherman to Mor-
ris’ place, thence northeast, passing
Dan. Growman’s farm to Coffin
street, on the Improvement Com-
pany’s tract, and on Coffin street,
east to the Boulevard, and on the
Boulevard to the city limits. There
is only about one and three-fourths
mile of black waxy land on the
whole road, and the distance be-
tween Denison and Sherman will
be only eight and one-third miles;
by the present road it is eleven and
a half miles by actual measurement.
At the Morris place the new road
connects with the road leading to
Pottsboro, and will prove a great
accommodation to a large number
of farmers in that direction, and add
considerably to the trade of Denison.
It will probably be several months
before the road is opened to travel,
as a number of bridges will have to
be built. _

Last Sunday night burglars at-
tempted to enter the residence of
Mrs. Shuell, on Barrett avenue.
They came to the window of a bed-
room in the front part of the house
and tried to raise it, but in so doing
they made sufficient noise awaken
the lady of the house, who sleeps in
a room farther to the rear. — Mr.
Shuell was not at home, but his bet-
ter half got bravely out of bed and,
by calling aloud to an imaginary
head of the family, made the would-
be thieves imagine that it wouldn’t
be healthy co intrude, they therefor
cut and run.

ALMOST A* TRAGEDY.
John Turnbull and George Lamp-
kin are both nice young men in the
employment of the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas railroad. For the past six
months they have both been paying
devoted attention to Miss Mary Till,
on Morton street. Miss Mary is a
beautiful young lady who came here
from Kansas City. There was a
strong rivalry existing between the
two young men, both determined not
to be defeated. Each paid regular
visits to the young lady, and it was
tne talk of the neighborhood as to
which Miss Mary Would favor with
her heart and hand. Tuesday morn-
as
it-
ing Turnbull went out on his trij
j*y
tie did he know of the event that
light hearted and gay as usual.
would take place before his return.
At 10 o’clock the same day
Lampkin drove up to the door
in a close carriage and whirled
Miss Mary over to Sherman,
where they were happily mar-
ried. Thursday evening Turnbull
got in and beard the news. Nothing
more was seen of him until that night
at 10 o’clock, when he walked into
the White Elephant, where Lampkin
was engaged in a game of billiards,
and walking up to him he stuck the
cold muzzle of a revolver into his
face and said, “You have robbed
me of my all—my very life, sir; if
you don’t promise me on the honor
of a man to make her happy I will
blow your brains out. There is no
better way than to take her to Har-
ben’s 5 and 10 cent store to see the
grand display of beautiful holiday
goods.” He promised.
If you wish your holiday goods
35 per cent, cheaper than you can
get them during the holidays, call
at Harben’s before the 15th of De-
cember and get wholesale rates on
them. He will sell them to you
cheaper because it will be easier to
wait on you before the Christmas
rush. Special prices to merchants,
same as last-year.
The sweetest thing that ever struck
Denison is Brooks and Harris’ gen-
uine maple syrup and fine honey in
the comb. It has just come to hand
and nobody should fail to try some
of it.
They are displaying the most ele-
gant line of Christmas goods ever
seen in the world at Harben’s; al-
most giving them away. Albums,
photo and autograph, from 35 cents
to $1 and up to $3. Plush goods in
great variety. Beautiful bisc goods
for 5 and io cents each. Vases, 5
cents up to $3. Tea sets and kitchen
sets at 5 cents to $2 per set. Beauti-
ful kid body bisc dolls very cheap.
Washable wax dolls. Large bears,
three feet high, mechanical, beats a
drum, the greatest attraction in the ‘
world, only 25 cents each. Come
before they are all gone. Guns, 10
to 25 cents. Mechanical kitten in
tea pot, opens fid bons, &c., only 10
cents each, worth 35 cents anywhere.

The tables have been turned on
Bartow, of the Waco Examiner. A
telegraph operator, named Bennett,
has sued him for malicious libel,
placing damagesjto his reputation at
$25,000. The libel is alleged to be
contained in an article which appear-
ed in the Examiner on the 23d inst.
A Waco dispatch to the Fort Worth
Gazette says Bennett came to Waco
a few days ago, and directly after
arrival his name was connected with
that of a young woman in the city.
The details were known to the news-
paper reporters, but the story was
too dirty to print. The next thing
heard of Bennett he was in the po-
lice court, charged with drunken-
ness, and from there in default of
paving his fine, to the street-work-
ing gang. The Examiner gave him
a blast, but without mentioning a
single detail of the episode in which
he is said to have figured. It was a
merciless excoriation and the suit
filed at Waco is generally regarded
as very much of a burlesque, rather
than anything else.

In a pay local in our last week’s
issue we made Mr. Harben, of the
5 & 10 cent store, say “a gaudy
street lady,” when we had written,
‘Gandy street lady.” The composi-
tor who set up the local was a
stranger in the city and not familiar
with the names of the streets, and
mistook the name of the street for a
habit of dress and deportment on
the part of the lady herself. The
mistake was coraected in the proof
but the n and u looked so much
alike that the compositor never no-
ticed it, and it, therefore went to
press as it was. We make this cor-
rection as we do not wish any one
to contract the idea that Mr. Harben
would write anything s crude as this
blunder has made the sentence in
question._

MB. BEDBLEFF GUILTY.
We feel like asking pardon of our
readers for the words of apology we
wrote last week for City Secretary
Radeleff. From long years ot inti-
mate acquaintance, we had learned
to look upon him as an honest man,
and could not believe that he was ca-
pable of committing a premeditated
robbery. The investigation that has
since been made by the city finance
committee, seems to prove, beyond
the possibility of evasion, that Mr.
Radeleff is not only guilty of the ir-
regularities mentioned last week, but
that he inaugurated a systematic
scheme of peculation very soon after
he was elected secretary by the
council in November, 1885. The
city's money appropriated by him,
from the first of December, 1885 to
the first of last September, amounts,
so Mr. Tone, the chairman of the
finance committee, tells us, to about
$630. The method he inaugurated
to accomplish his purpose, was one
the least liable to detection. He
would consolidate the accounts of a
number of individuals which had
been ordered paid by the city, into
one order made payable to himself,
on the plea, that this method would
save time and labor. He would
make these orders in excess of the
total amount of the bills, get them
approved by the finance committee
and the mayor, collect the money of
the treasurer, pay off the legitimate
claims, and put the surplus into his
own pocket. In one instance, he
collected a month’s salary, $70, due
Policeman Stoneman, by including
it in one of these consolidated orders,
which he put down into his capa-
cious wallet Mr. Stoneman also
got an order for the same amount,
so that the city paid the salary twice
oyer. Mr Radeleff is supposed to
be in the state of Chihuahua,
Mexico. •_“
The merchants of Denison are
complaining about parties coming
to Sherman on the 8 130 train in the
morning purchasing merchandise
here and returning on the noon train.
Don’t worry Denny.—Sherman
Register.
We were in the Star Store the
other day and watched a Sherman
gentleman and wife do some shop-
ping. When ihey got through the
bill was $150, which the gentleman
paid, seeming very much satisfied
with the value he had received for
his money. This gentleman was
Mr. Lloyd, who we understand is a
foundryman of our sister city. This
is but an instance of what occurs
daily. Our merchants are enter-
prising, go-ahead business men,
^•ith none of the fogyism about
them, which charactizes their fossil
contemporaries of Shermantown,
and in this lies the reason for the
daily pilgrimages to our city by the
citizens of Sherman for the purpose
of buying goods. No, dear Register,
our merchants are not kicking; they
are perfectly satisfied with the bus-
iness relations existing between tne
two cities, and all that Sherman
merchants get ahead of them they
will be able to stand without loosing
any of (heir customary sleep.
A new advertising scheme is
claiming the attention of the mer-
chants of Texas at the present time,
and from what we have been able
to learn regarding its wants, it it one
which is not only making money for
its originators, but also redounds to
the profit o( those who give it a trial.
We refer to “the merchants’ adver-
tising coupon ticket.” It is a very
ingenious though simple snap, con-
sjfcting of a piece of paper about ten
inches long,and five inches and a half
wide, with the merchants’ advertise-
ment neatly printed on both sides in
a manner something like the follow-
ing :

ent applied for. and promises to re-
alize handsomely for the company
that designed it.
M. E. F. McComas, who has had
charge of its introduction to the mer-
chants of this section, is so far as our
experience with him will permit us
to judge, a gentleman in every re-
spect. He takes the utmost pains to
explain the working of the scheme,
and in no case has he exaggerated
its merits.

Papers were issued Saturday for

who lives out in Clay county. Davis
is charged with running off to the

ten out in the name of Dr. Holder,

It was at a masque ball in Deni-
son. The pale electric light cast its
dazzling rays over many “a quaint
and curious” costume. Fair ladies
and gallant knights in garbs of ages
past, graced the floor. She was a
Venitian flower girl. She stood
leaning languid and wearied after
the exercise of the dance against an
iron pillar, with a figure more grace-
ful than could be dreamed of in the
wildest flight of fancy, and the
snowy arm which supported a bas-
ket of flowers, was rounded to per-
fection. Could the imagination fail
to supply a face beneath the sable
mask—fairer than the fairest?
“While she pondered, weak and
weary, a gallant cavalier approached
and with a graceful and humble
mien, begged her, in a voice as deep
as the threatening growl of a Charles-
ton earthquake, in which she read
a world of sadness, to give him one
spray from the basket of flowers.
Could she refuse ? Stranger, though
he was to her, her heart was moved
as it was never moved before. Her
whole being went out to him in that
moment. She held the basket to
him, and as he sadly selected a with-
ered leaf, browned and seared by tbe
winter winds, she would gladly have
laid down her young life to spare
him one moment ot the fearful sor-
row she knew he felt. “Come,
Bavles Massey,” said a policeman,
“this is noplace for you.” And tbe
gallant cavalier was hurried out in
the open air. “Bayles,” the de-
mented negro, had become tired of
the role of President, and was try-
ing something easier.—Harben's j

THANKSGIYIHG.
How it was Observed in Denison.
In business circles things were quiet.
Many of our merchants absented them-
selves from their stores in the afternoon
and spent a long hour over their Thanks-
giving dinner. Visiting and dining were
the order of the day, and many a well
known citizen of our neighboring cities
ate turkey and cranberry sauce at the ex-
pense of his Denison triends.
AT SOUTHKRN METHODIST CHURCH.
Union services were held at the South
Methodist church under the auspices of
all the reformed denominations, the dif-
ferent churches being represented within
the railing by Reverends H. M. Whaling.
W. E. Tyne and T. E. Sherwood.
The preliminary services were conduct-
ed by the Rev. T. E. Sherwood, pastor of
the church, alter which an eloquent and
exhaustive sermon was preached by Rev.
H. M. Whaling, from the text contained
in Isaiah xi:q: '’They shall not hurt nor
eestroy in all my holy mountain.”
We regiet that our limited space pre-
cludes the possibility of our giving this
able effort in its entirety, as the compact
character of the sermon renders an
abridgement ot its substance impossible
without effecting serious disfiguration.
The reverend gentleman, in part said:
The text Is taken from one ot Isaiah’s gorgeous
prophecies, in which he predicts the coimnjr of s
time when love and peace shall be universal.
Christianity has always maintained that mankind
More than that: in the Catholicity ot the Redeem -
er’s nature He has given to us a marvelous proof
of tbe brotherhood of man. And the great claim
that I make is simply this, that although Christi-
anity has done but little in coropaaison with what
it has to do, in establishing the true bond of union
between man and man, still, there is s marked
tendency in our land and our time toward an ap-
preciation of this truth--the brotherhood of man-
public in every part of the United States.

is
privilege of the tew, are boldly thrown open
all. Tne doctrine upon which our country planted
herself, st the bmnnning of her career, that “all
men are crested tree and equal,*’ is rapidly being
applied to all the phases of our broadening civili-
sation.
(1 ? This tendency can be clearly traced in the
widespread diffusion of education which marks
our time. The doors that lead into the halls of
learning are now thrown open so wide that the
children of the humblest artisan msv enter. The
public schools, which dot this land from one end
to the other, afford all our people an opportunity
to unfold their God-given capacities.
Science has left her secluded walks and begun
multitude loxeries which the mightest rulers of the
past were unable to command.
(»j The same tendency is manifesting itself in
the world of letters. Several centuries ago the
cost of a Bible was more than the wages of a
laboring man tor thirteen years, but now the
American Bible Society sends its colpoitery
throughout the globe for the free distribution of the
Scriptures. The most popular authors are those
whose wofks manifest an air of universal sympa-
thy for man. and also teach that the holy torch of
reason was given to man for nobler purposes than
to make him the slave of ignorance and supersti-
tion,
(3) The religious movements of our time are
along the same line of development. Henceforth
no man can make himself an absolute dictator to
tne human conscience. The right of private judg-
ment has been placed upon an immovable basis.
The power of priestcraft has been broken forever,
snd the church has universally accepted the doc-
trine that there is no favoritism in the bosom at
Deity towards any man, which is not founded up-
on superior virtue snd righteousness.
(4 There are many indications of the same
tendency in the progress at government. The doc -
trine ot the divine right at kings has been ex-
ploded. The institutions which long separated
man and man have been demolished, and
the political sentiment of our land, at least, allows
every maa a fair field to carve out his own fortune,
and lo rise IE the highest posts at honor in the gift
of the people.
: j) Finally. let us thank God that the devilish
spirit of aectionaliara is waniao. Mason and
Dixon's line has become invisible. Once there
was a chasm in this land, but the aides of that
chasm have grown together. Once there was blood
on the tag, but now it waves with the stars of love

DINNER AT THI MOXX.GALL.
At the head of the hotel busineac of
north Texas stands the McDougall hotel,
of Denison. Through a long term of
years it has held its proud position among
the first hotels in Texas, and to-day, the
25th of November, 1886, its management
retains all its old efficiency and enter-
prise with the added ability acquired
from recedf experience, while the cook
has lost none ot that genius and cun
nine which has made its table a topical
subject among all classes of the traveling
Mr. O. E. O’Malcy, wite and daughter,
were present. »
N. S. Ernst, of the State National Bank,
enjoyed his Thanksgiving dinner in com-
pany with his tmmily.
The turkey, duck and oyster patties
were delicious.
John Cullinane and Arthur Menifee ate
for two hours by the dining room
clock.
I. M. Standifer sat at a table with the
Gazettkzr reporter, and entertained a
number ot gentlement with his pleasant
conversation.
New York, St. Louis, Cincinnati and
the other eastern cities, were well repre-
sented in the dining room by traveling
men from those points.
The guests were numerous, refined and
characteristic of the patronage received
by this thoroughly first-class establish-
ment.
AT THI COLONNADE.
The Colonnade hotel under the man-
agement ot Messrs. H. Thompson & Son
who but recently took possession is ra-
pidly rising in favor with our citizens and
the traveling public. It has a more con-
venient location than any other hotel in
the city, and at the present time la being
managed in a way that will soon bring it
into rivalry with the first hotels in the
State. It is here that the weary traveler
may enjoy a comfortable rest after a long
journey, for, in the matter of genuine
home comforts this establishment is ufith-
out a superior anywhere.
At dinner Thursday we noticed quite a
number ot our business men who, we
learn, are regular patrons of the hotel.
Messrs. Thompson At Son did themselves
great credit in the magnificent dinner
they set before their guests Thursday. It
was hugely enjoyed by all present, and
by none more than the Gazettees re-
porter. Much credit is due Mr. J. H.
Croford, the Steward, for the artistic
arrangement and decocration of the tables
and the attention which he paid to guests.
The bill of fare was extensive, and in
every respect first-class, its artistic da-
sign and typograpical beauty being
worthy of special mention. The follow-
ing is the
