Tornadoes Everuwhere.
As heretofore predicted, the tornado season, though unusu-
ally late, has been correspondingly severe, and, lately, reports of
disastrous storms-in all sections-have been frequent. The dam-
age to property cannot even be estimated, and the bes* of weather
prophets cannot surmise when or where the elements will next
visit} therefore, we wish to urge upon you the necessity of pro-
tecting your property by insuring it in our T1MF-TRIED, FIRE-
TESTED and TORNADO-PROOF Companies against TORNADOES

charged for such indemnity.

conditions, Many Now York bank-
erg, however, believe that a concerted
movement among the great New
York banks in relieving importer* ef
interchanges while gold is on the
o'-eau would be eutirely practicable
It is not intended by the men wbe
entertain this idea to attempt te
thwart the legitimate operation off
the international exchange, bat
merely to offset those advantages
furnished by the foreign banka and
importers ot gold to Europe by Ina-
ishing what inducement is possible to
importers ot gold to lue United

Paris, Tex., Sept. 3—At a meeting
of the board of trade a memorial wns
addressed to the president urgtug the
appointment ot Gen Maxcy to the
vacant interstate commtsaionship.
The memorial recites his conserva-
tive judicial character, his ability as a
lawyer, hlslamiliarity with public
affairs, and lays especial stress upon
the fact, that neither the Sonth, nor
the cbtfttry West ot the Mississippi
are represented on the commission,
and that as Texas unites Southern and
Western interests, so would General
Maxey be an acceptable representa-
tive of both more than any other man
who could be named. The memorial
vyas wired to the president by the
to?*- fL
Seed are Fisher’s saw mill, the Carrol-
t< n ra lway depot and the Carroliou
gardens.
Some 600 people reside iu the
abandoned district, who have boen
given a month in which to leave their
louses. Tho law favors the expro-
irlation of this property, and the
iwners can receive no compensation
for their property, which is assessed
lor over $200,000, and on which they
have paid levee taxes this year. Au
i ndignation meeting w«s held in Car-
rollon to-night, at which protests
were made against the action of the
eyee board. It is assorted that a
number oi people will be completely
ruined if compelled to abandon their
property in this way, and that some
compensation ought to be allowed
them for it.

Bbenham.Tcx, Sopt.3—The ma-
chinery of the pulp factory has been
taken down and ioaded on the cars,
preparatory to shipping the same to
New York. Mr. H. Bohn will leave
with it to-morrow, and join Mr. H. O.
Engelkee in NeW York. The enter-
prise was an experiment, and though
in its infancy demonstrated that a
fine quality ot paper could be made
of the pulp which was obtained from
cotton feed hulls. Messrs. Bohn and
Engelkee, the owners of the plant,
will organize a stock company m New
York under the namo of the Now
York fiber company,for the purposed'
developing and perfecting the machin-
ery and process. The factory is moved
from Brenhamon account of the high
freight rates from this point to the
paper mills which use the pulp.
Bremond, Tex., Sept, 3—A cavalry
duel occurred six miles south of Bre-
mond on the 1st The particulars as
had from one side are:. Some days
past P F. Gilbert went to the house
ot Anderson, his brother-in-law, and
Anders n drew a shotgun on Gilbert
and ordered him to leave the place.
Tho trouble was some family atlair.
Gilbert left and both parties went af-
terward armed, a few days after 1 he
trouble the parties met and Gilbert
asked And irson it he was armed aud

told to use bis pistol. Both parlies
drew their pistols and commenced
shooting, Anderson tired six shots

person witnessed the battle, the above
being tbev ersiou of the affair given
by Mr. Gilbert.
Seymour, Baylor County, Tex., Sept
3.—A novel case presents itself in our
charts this week on examining trial,
wherein one Frank Williams is charg-
ed with klduaping bis daughter. The
facts as gathered by your reporter
are to the effect that the child, at the
death ot its mother, was given to its
grandmother to be raised. Since the
death of the grandmotuer Mr. Wil-
iams has been using every endeavor
:o recover the child, but owing to
bitter feelings on tho part of the
grandfather and bis sons toward Mr.
Williams he had beou unable to do
so. On aunday last, learning that his
ohlld was a few miles out iu the
country, Mr. Williams, accompanied
by bis brother, went to where she
was and persuaded her to accompany
him to his home in the city, where
she now is. The child’s uncle aud
aunt followed immediately and swore
out a complaint, chargiug Mr. Wil-
liams and his brothor with kidnaping,
upon which charge the Williamses
were arrested. Their examining trial
is set for Wednesday of this week.
Some serious trouble is feared, as
both parties st ein equally determined
to retain tne possession of the cnild
iu controversy
for the past tour di.ys. All instru-
ments of the local signal office de-
clared that rain was hundreds of miles
away aud no one complalnod ot ach-
ing corns. Capt. Ravcnscraft, weath
er bureau agent here, went out on the
*oof and repeatedly watched the bat
oraeter and declared ou his reputation
and without prejudice that if it rained
to day he was no prophet. At 2:30
>. m. this whs the exact condition,
with the streets flooded 111 fifteen
minutes, and with all weather indi-
ations lying. Ra n set in, clouds
imsred, lightning flashed and thun-
<*r soundeo hollow, like counterfeit
mousy. Ia twenty minutes the guage
showed oleven-hundreths ot an inch
of rain. Th- clouds then floated
away Hnd it seemed as though the
weather had settled for the vest of the
day, but in two hours Aiborson start-
ed his mill again aud tho sharpest
shower of the season came up, raak-
ing the half inoh. Capt. Ravencraft
a student who has boen year* iu the
service, is firmly oi the opinion that
the precipitation was duo almost
wholly to artificial causes. Every ap-
oearauce and inaicat'on was against
the visitition. ThiJ heavy rain was
local. Cheyenno being the storm
ceuter of ninoty tit les in circumfer-
ence. Albertou and his backers are
simply elated. The wizard aud bis
brother w-11 bet arythiug aud go

Alberton will be engaged to furnish
showers tor large areas in this state.
Ho keeps bis secret well. He works
in a barn and loafs very little. There
is a holo in the roof for his use, but
its utility cannot be ascertained.
Opinions are divided as to whether

Eagle Pass, Tex., Sept 8—The news
of the respite granted Dick Duncan
by the governor until tho 18th ivas
a surprise to the citizens. The latter
claim that they have incurred great
expense in securing Duncan’s convic-
tion and that since his sentence the
county is put 10 heavy cost iu guard-
ing the jail, which must uow be c jn-
tiuued two weeks longer.
The friends of the governor are
confident that be will j istify his ac-
tion by subsequent developments.
The opinion upon their part is that
Duncan’s iriends have made an agree-
ment with Gov. Hogg to produce
Landers, who was jointly indicted
with Duncan aud that upon the ful-
fllliug of this agreement Duncan’
sentence will be commuted to impris-
onment for life.
Duncan received the news of tho
rosiite without exhibiting any emo-
tion aud expressed himseli as confi-
dent that it Landers is captured aud
is guilty, his testimony will oxouer
ate him-

Walt street as tho ratos of foreign ex-
change do not permit tho import of
gold as a strictly oxchaugu transac-
tion
It was learned yesterday that the
Fourth uatioual bank had initiated n
policy to facilitate gold import-',
which if generally adopted will lend
to lacilitate tho current of gold from
Europe. This bank has decided to
adont in essouco ihe principles ot tho
great European banks iu allowing
the shippers ’nterost ou gold while it
is in transit, ^resident J. Edward
Simmons of the Fourth national de-
clined to discuss the matter to-day,
aud it is understood that the Fourth
nation d has already lout a lar e
amount of money to foreign houses
here for the purenase of gold without
exacting any interest charge on the
gold while it is 011 tho way from
Europe.
Tho earlv shipments ot gold abroad
wore called “special transactions,'’ ns
they were made largely aguiusf the
warrant of exchange rates. I he ex
port movement was facilitated by
the great banks ot continental Etiropi
permitting their clients to draw in-
terest from the mnme t they were
advised that gold had beou purchased
here. Private bankers iu Loudon
pursued the samu meth <ds, mjvane
ing money to bankers who dcBin-d to
briug gold trom the United states,
without charging interest while the
metal was in transit.
The United States treasury is una-
ble to adopt the policy of tho foreign

An employe of one of the railways
here said yesterday to a reporter for
the Exprom:
“If the railroad commission keep*
on cutting down the revenues of th -
railroads those who work for them
had just as well make up their mlutL
to starve, because it will amount to
starvation tor them. Comra'ssloner
Reagan has said that the railroads pa*
too much to their employes. Tin
tact of the matter is that the railway
operative, tor the small compensation
be receives, does more work and 1*1
greater hazard to his life than any
other workman in the world. H*-
does not work a giveu number of
hours per day,but he trequeutlyw rk •
more than twenty-lour hours steadiL
and then has to double back au*;
make it forty-eight hours withou
rest. The railway commission wire
ail of its regulating cannot well regu-
late the number of h<-urs that tie
trainraau shall run, because there i
noway of ascertaining how long it i
going to take a traiu to go a givi >
distance, and the railway traiuipai-
does not ask the commission to regu-
late the length or the time consume-,
iu his run. Whit lie objects to is *•
much regula'ion of tho roads as u
deplete their earnings until thoy hav*
not revenues sufficient to pay thei-
riinning expenses, much less dl»
d.-nds to their stockholders. O
course tho trainman aud laborer ou

tho operatives be.oro thoy cut dow 1

these rovoiiucH are cut dowu over 6 -
per cent, as has beeu done by Mr. llej>-

fact of tho matter is that It would 1 e

the revenues that the tariffs fixed In
tho commission now yield. The ex-
peri mom would bo an expensive bu-
ccmincing one. and woul-i be so es-
pecially if the commission had to de-
