Waxahachie. Texas, Dec. 7-—
At the session of the covention
of the Daughters of the Confed-
eracy today it was unanimously
voted that the Texas division of
the order make its annual dona-
tion of 5100 for the purpose of
caring for a Texas room in the
Richmond museum- The reso-
lution carrying this donation was
made after the report of the re-
gent had been read.
Donations were also made by
chapters to a fund to have a me-
morial tablet for Governor Frank
Lubbock placed in the Texas
room. The sum of $85-50 we/,
raised in less than ten minutes.
A telegram was sent Governor
Lubbock notifying him of this
action of the chapters. The do-
nations were started by Mrs. O.
A. Munn of Crockett, who pledg-
ed $5 for her chapter.

The headquarters detective
was talking about the reliability
of witnesses, t Syddenly he turn-
ed his back oq his auditors, look-

What coloi: is the tie I am
wearing?” ]j
Most of them gave it up. One
thought it was;blue and another
black. When all had had their
guess, the detective turned
around with a , jrin and showed a
giay tie with a £>lack figure*
“Now that’s £ point about evi-

Temple, Dec- 7.—The case of
the state vs. W. R. Chandler,
charged with the killing of Wm.
McLaughlin, manager of the in
dependent telephone exchange at
Temple last March, was upoD
motion of the district attorney
dismissed in the district court at
Belton. This is the. last of the
famous case that created such a
stir and excite ment here at the
time of occurrence. Chandler
for years conducted a barber
shop in Temple, was well known
and respected. His wife was
chief operator in the telephone
exchange, of which McLaughlin
was manager.
On the 21st of last March the
town was thrown into excitemen t
by the killing of Mrs. Chandler
and McLaughlin. Chandler was
tried for the killing of his wife
and acquitted. The state took a
continuance in the McLaughlin
case and it was finally disposec
of yesterday by a dismissal,
Chandler is now a free man.

CRASHES INTO
A STREET CAR.
Fort Worth, Dec. 7 —While an-
swering an alarm on West Penn
sylvania avenue this morning the
hose wagon from No. 5 station
collided with a Hemphill street
car, seriously injuring Captain
Ferguson, damaging the street
car and demolishing the hose
wagon.
Captain Ferguson was on the
driver’s seat and by his side was
pipeman Mann of No. 5 company.
The fireman did not see the car
approaching Pennsylvania ave
nue and just at the intersection
of that street and Hemphill the
two came together. The street
car was thrown off the track and
the hose cart was a complete
wreck.
Cartain Ferguson was cut
about the bead, his left arm wa9
injured and he received a num-
ber of bruises. Pipeman Mann
fell under the wagon. The run
ning gear of the wagon was torn
off by the collision, but the
blocks beneath the wagon re-
manined, and these prevented
the heavy bed of the wagon from
squeezing the fireman. In this
way he escaped injury.
