Austin, Tex., Nov. 24.-The follow;'
ng letter is self-explantory:
:.: Executive Office, Austin, Tex., Nov.
23.-The penitentiary board, Austin,
'Tex.: Gentlemen-I beg to advise you
officially that after very careful con,
gBideration I can not approve the purchase
of the Lowood and Norwood land
i in Brazoria county. My action is based
.:upen the opinion that both the per:';sonal
property and the land are too
'itsf-~ nsm-nofthe evidence to that
:' effect has been placed before you.
The second written proposition subi
mitted yesterday by Messrs. Sewall and
'.Campbell as to the Lowood place, by
which they agree to sell their 2475
acres of land for $31,710, leaving the
-'personal property valued at $8290, to be
purchased by the penitentiary authori'
ties if they deem it proper, does not
modify the bid as to the price of the
'land and if the authorities should puri,
hase the personal property at the
?': price named, which is not improbable,
:ithe full $75,400 would be paid for the
..entire property.
Subsequently to this second written
p proposition Messrs, Sewall and Campbiell
verbally proposed to reduce their
bid $400, but it still appears too high
: to me.
It is a matter of sincere regret to
X differ with the board of penitentiary
authoritiess, but my conviction that the
price named is more than should be
paid is such that I can not yield it.
C Bery truly,
: . : C. A. CULBERSON, Governor.

^ears, and a companion were out huntuigg
squirrels in the Rakestraw neighborhood,

Corsicana, Tex., Not 23.-Lags
evening as passenger train No. 6,
south-bound, on the Central road,
George Helm conductor, was passing
Carl switch, five miles north of this
city, in Chambers creek bottom, on
time, Dan McPherson, a section man,
stepped from the work train that was
standing on the side track, on to the
main track, just in front of the moving
train. There was no time for t.e
engineers to check the train and McPherson
was struck by the pilot and
carried on it over 100 yards before the
train was stopped. He was taken
from the pilot, placed in the baggage
car and brought to this city, where le
died in a few minutes after beingremoved
from the train to the depot.
The body was not much mangled, the
injury that caused death being a
ghastly hole in the back of his head.Cattle Dipping.
Fort Worth, Tex., Nov. 23.-Dipping
of ticky cattle at the stock yards nas
become quite a business, as is evidenced
by the number of cattle dipped
since the promulgation of the orders
of the bureau of animal industry, and
the quarantine regulations adopted by
the Texas sanitary board affecting the
process and sanctioned by the governor
of the state. Last week the
total number of cattle dipped was 1464,
distributed as follows: Albert Adams,
Estelline, 7; J. K. Hearte, Quanah, 36;
J. E. Lawler, Quanah, 39; J. H. Wallace,
Minco, I. T., 64; A. M. Mize,
Claude, 39; S. Callahan, Claude, 39; J.
J. Creemer, Quanah, 10; G. W. Kalris,
Quanah, 52; R. T. Harrick, Washburn,
50; O'Connor & Hogan, Guthrie, Ok.,
570; M. Hanna, Sweetwater, 558.Peacemaker's Fate.
Galveston, Tex., Nov. 23.-While endeavoring
to act as peacemaker in a
difficulty between Thomas Sterling
and Edward Scott, Willie Garrett was
shot in the stomach, from the effects
of which he died shortly afterward.
All of the men are colored. The trouble
occurred at the corner of Thirtyfirst
street and Sealy avenue yesterday
afternoon. Scott and Sterling
were placed under arrest and taken to
the city jail, from where they were
transferred to the county prison. Two
cases of assault to murder have been
lodged against Sterling, and one of
like character is lodged against
Scott. In addition to these, both men
are charged with murder.Laying Ties.
The construction gang on the Texas
Western railway has commenced putting
down ties in the city of Houston,
and as soon as the steel arrives the
work of laying the rails will begin.
It is quite certain now that the new
owners of the Texas Western are tiee
Rock Island people, and that the road
will be extended from Sealy to Fort
Worth. In this connection it may
be stated as reasonably certain that
the Rock Island people are behind the
purchase of the Laporte road, but for
some reason they don't wish as yet to
disclose their hand. It is said that
before the end of another year the
Rock Island will be running into Galveston
via Houston and the old Texas
Western.Prairie Fire Losses.
Denison, Tex., Nov. 23.-It is reported
here from Colbert, I. T., that the
large timber and prairie fires which
raged around Colbert on Saturday and
Sunday destroyed everything in their
path, and that thousands of dollars
worth of property was destroyed, consisting
of fences, haystacks, corn and
cotton. Those suffering losses around
Colbert are: Riverside (Colbert estate),
Dan Collins, Newton Love, Joe
Potts, William Bacon, A. N. Leecraft,
George Murray, Meigs Murray, William
Bales, and many tenants 'and
others. The fires came from different
directions, meeting on Dan Collins'
farm. The rain extinguished all fires.Bobbed Treasurer.
City Treasurer R. D. Simonton of
Beaumont is out about $300 in valuables,
the result of a very clever and
daring robbery which occurred after
he returned from the celebration at
Port Arthur. The thief entered his
room,, took his diamond shirt studs,
the buttons out of his cuffs, and his
watch. The robber also carried away
Mr. Simonton's pants, containing
about $19.Coming in Slowly.

San Antonio, Tex., No. L1.- iThe
gallant sixth, under 'ernmand of
Lieut. Col. Charles W. Miner, numbering
1039 officers and men, -have arrived
and are now at the post. The
arrival of the regiment was the signal
for the gathering of thousands to
greet it, and the debarkation took
place amid the strains of martial music
and the cheering of the multitudes-
Yielding to the earnest solicitation
of the citizens, Col. Miner
marched his men through the city to
the post. The city authorities, the
fourth Texas infantry, under command
of Col. John C. 'Edmonds, and
Capt. Breets' light battery of artillery,
which fought with the sixth at Santiago,
headed the march. The entire
distance, some four miles, was lined
with people and the cheering was
continuous. The flag of the regiment,
which was the first to float from San
Juan hill, was conspicuously displayed
and constantly cheered, for it
tcld the story of the regiment on
July 1 too plainly. It was tattered
'and shot-riddled, while stains of blood
were yet visible upon it. Last night
telegraphic orders were received Iromc
'Washington suspending previous orders
assigning one company each to
Forts Bliss, McIntosh, Ringgold and
Brown, and ordering the entire command
to take station here. While
this may be but a temporary move,
still the opinion is prevalent in army
circles that either the third or fourth
Texas volunteers will be mustered out
or moved elsewhere, and another regiment
of regulars ordered to garrison
the posts along the Rio Grande.Shaw's Mother's Testimony.
Cleburne, Tex., Nov. 21.-John B.
Shaw, who will be hanged next Friday
for the murder of Tom Crane, does'not
seem at all disturbed over the fact that
each hour brings him so much closer
to eternity. Saturday night Sam Shaw,
who is in an adjoining cell, charged
with the murder of Dallas Hampton,
became alarmed at the continued grating
of doors and talking outside. He
expressed a belief that a mob was
coming to lynch him.
"You just rest easy," remarked John
B. Shaw, "if they come in here I'll let
'em hang me, if a hanging is what they
want."
Shaw seems glad the end is near. He
says he has been hunted and tried and
cuffed till death will be a relief to him.
His mother's testimony in the insanity
trial developed some facts that
somewhat account for his bloodthirsty
nature. She testified that a few months
prior to his birth her husband had a
difficulty with a neighbor, and was
stabbed in the back and that she saw
the bloody gash and the cruel blow
that made it. She felt revengeful and
brooded over it. Later on and shortly
before the birth of this son, whom she
was trying to save, her brother had a
difficulty and was badly hurt by his
antagonist. She felt revengeful over
this affair. She also mentioned other
similar happenings.
Gin Burns.
Piano, Tex., Nov. 21.-The Plano
Gin company's gin, owned by Olney
Davis and John A. Moreman, burned
yesterday morning. The loss on the
building and machinery is $7600, insured
for $3000. A carload of seed and
one bale of seed cotton was a total
loss. About twenty-five bales of cotton
in the gin yard were rolled away
to a place of safety. The gin had
caught fire Saturday evening from
matches in the seed cotton while passing
through the gin stand, and promptly
extinguished. Mr. Moreman visited
the gin at 10 o'clock Saturday night to
be sure that there was no fireleft
smoldering, but could not even detect
the smell of burning cotton. The gin
was a large one, having eight gin
stands and a capacity of ginning fifty
bales of seed cotton per day. Alex
Lyle's barn and feed stuff, just across
the street from the gin on the west
side, caught fire and was a total loss.
Loss estimated at $150. No Insurance.I . . - ' I

Austin, Tex., Nov. 21.-Ex-GoT,
Hogg and party of New Englanders,
including President Charles J. Glidden
of the Southwestern Telegraph and
Telephone company, returned yesterday
from a fishing and hunting trip
to Lake Surprise and Morgan's Point.
Gov. Hogg reports splendid luck both
fishing and hunting, and that the
party had a royal good time.

'.WRECKED BY HAIR DYE.
salvation Army Corps EBokeen Up by
Vanity of a Member.Even
the enthusiastic women who
devote their lives to Salvation Army
work are not above the vanities characteristic
of their sex as a wholethat
is, if one may judge by the deplorable
outcome of a scandal in corps
No. 2, which for years conducted its
peculiar work in Elsey chapel on Jewett
avenue, Jersey City. Factional
bitterness, caused by woman's gossip,
has resulted in the disbandment of
the corps. All Salvationists when they
join the army, of course, are supposed
to renounce the vanities of the world,
and corps No. 2 was very strict in
such matters. -One of the sisters one
day, however, observed that the child
of another sister purchased a bottle
of hair dye. The mother of the child
had beautiful 'black hair, and the observing
sister began to talk the result
of her observation over with other
sisters, until it came to be the quiet
gossip of the corps. Finally the
stories reached the ears of the sister
with the black hair, and then there
was a time. She went to the officer
in charge of the corps and demanded
that the originator of the hair-dye
story be tried by court-martial. This
was granted. There were interesting
scenes at the trial, and the accused
sister was acquitted. The accuser left
the corps, taking many of her friends
with her. The accused remained, but
there were enough friends of her opponent
left to make life unpleasant for
her. Then she resigned from the corps,
taking many of her friends. The corps
after that could not pay expenses,
members lost interest in their work,
and finally disbandment put an end to
the trouble.GLORIES IN HIS WIFE'S LOSS.
Male Brute Extends Thanks to the Man
Who Stole a Watch.
In a recent issue of a New York paper
appears the following letter to the
editor: "Sir-I take pleasure in reporting
through your columns the fact that
my wife yesterday lost the chatelaine
watch that she has, or had, the bad
habit of wearing dangling to a pendant
on the bosom of her gown when
she has occasion to deck herself to
go downtown or elsewhere on the
streets. I have long insisted that
women who wore their watches in such
a manner did but tempt thieves to
steal, yet my words have no effect upon
her, and day after day I have seen
her go out only to see her come home
again with the watch there and a
smile of scorn on her face for me.
Yesterday when she returned there
was neither smile nor watch. I also
desire to extend my sincere thanks to
the gentlemanly and urbane pickpocket
for pinching the bauble. He has
taught her in one or two seconds what
I have been years trying to teach her,
and I am so grateful that I am almost
tempted to offer him $5 as a token of
my esteem. I gave the watch to my
wife a dozen years ago and nobody
knows how much I have regretted my
thoughtless kindness. I shall make
no effort to recover the trinket, and if
any other men situated as I have been
want to combine with me to organize
a society for the prevention of women
wearing theirwatches on the outside
of their clothes in public places, I shall
be glad to do all I can to get them together
and solidify them as one man.
With these few remarks I shall close
by again extending to the pickpocket
in question the continued assurances
of my distinguished consideration.-P.
X. K."CLEVER MATCH MAKING.
Both of the American Girls Got Eligible
Husbands.
"An exceedingly clever bit of matchmaking
has just been executed by an
American lady whose eldest daughter
left New York with some friends on a
European tour, and who, after doing
the continent, returned to our gay capital
for several months of rest and
pleasuring," writes a resident of Paris
to the New York Commercial Advertiser.
"Attractive and clever, she had
many suitors. She adroitly reduced
the number to two. Then she wrote
home to her mother, explaining the
act situation of affairs, adding that
ey were both so handsome, agreeable,
ell-conducted and rich that she could
ot decide between them, and closed
ith the question: 'What shall I do?'
en days later she received a telegram
om her mother: 'I sail tomorrow;
ld both until I come.' The next
ansatlantic steamer brought the
other with her second daughter, just
rned 18. On her arrival she at once
ok the helm of affairs, and she atnded
the wedding of her two daughrs
at the American cnapel on the
e morning."

Were Not Called.
Up in Carson, Nev., there has been
a lot of Uncle Sam's soldiers waiting
for an opportunity to get to the front.
The companies are made up of the
miners and cattlemen, and among
them are some very funny characters.
The officers are a fine set of fellows
and Maj. Morrison is a fine chap. It
is a custom in army circles for the
guard to be called out when the major
approaches camp and salute him. One
day a slangy individual from the Conapproaching.
True to his military disstock
was doing picket duty and looking
up the road saw the commander
cipline he turned and shouted for the
guard in this manner:
"Call out de push, de main guy is
comin'."
"Never mind the guard," said the
major in a disgusted tone.
"Never mind de push," shouted the
guard, "de main guy says nit."Ourselves and Our Clothes.
"Happily," said Mrs. Stoggleby, "we
do not realize the change in our personal
appearance as we grow older;
the change is so slight from day to
day, and then, as a matter of fact,
we are, to ourselves at least, ever as
young as we feel.
"But it is not so about our clothes;
we cannot make them ever feel young,
as they grow old, to say nothing of
keeping them looking so-they will get
worn and threadbare And we are
likely to forget about that, and to give
no thought to the impression they
may make upon other people. There
we make a mistake. We should keep
an eye on our apparel; and as to trimness,
at least, have that in keeping
not with our gray head, but with our
flesh and ever younger heart."

The American answered: "What does

"Sits on zee ice?"
"Yes," said the American. "There
is nothing else to sit on."
"Veil, vat he do, too?"
"What does he also do? Why he -

"Eats fish; sits on ze ice and eats
