All of the business houses 'on tlio
East sido of tho public squuro in
Eastland city was destroyed by firo

Mr. J. 0. MoDanald of Cisco, was
-shot and killed by his Bon-in-luw in
-Bonham, on thoU4th ult. The shoot-
zing is thought to bo justiflablo as
McDonald was using a pair of brass
ilenuoks on bis son-in-law, Tom Puco.
Itis said that tho largest crowd
that ever assembled in, Wosbinglon
-on tho occasion of an inauguration,
--Assembled thoro last Wednesday,
ovor 100,000 pooplo are reported to
-bavo been present.
n
The proceedings of congress dur-
irg tho last few hours of its forty-
eighth session were not character-
ized by that dignity of deportment
" that might bo expected of a groat,
deliberative body. So thinks tho
Dallas Herald.
Col. Geo. P. Miller, our District
.Attorney elcet, is fast gaining the con-
fidence of our people by his quiot and1
unassuming manner in conducting his'
prosecutions. Mr. Miller does not
seem to. be blood, thirsty;
grants to see tbo law enforced.-

A special from Austin to tho Dal-
las Herald snyS that the bill to
doclnro null and voidpaients issued
on Gfreor county foods 'is stirring up
bad bipod. A day' or two ago Hnrri-
obriydf WaeOj-tho author of tbo bill,
incenced at tho criticism and tho
article, in tbo Examiner, attacked
the roprcBontalivo of that paper, in
tbo senate chamber and struck him
oneo over the bead .with a cane. By-
standers interfered and prevented
furthor difficulty. Mr. Harrison is
new in public lifo and his skin, is
easily punctured by nowspaper
squibs. He will get used to itby
and by:

In an issuo of January 31st the
Chief announces that Mr. W-.' B.
McOay had killed a bog weighing
405 lba., not weight, and challenged
tho county to boat hirn. Mr. W. N.
Sherman accepts the challenge and
goes him eleven pounds better. Ho
has just slaughtered a fine porker
weighing 416 pounds, and claims the
blue ribbon. Next.-r-Comancbe
Chief.
.Pshaw I Sara, Capt. McAdams of
tiur county can beat -your biggest
hog '235 pounds.. Ho butchered n
bog the other day weighing 651 lbs.,
and thought it a moro shoat, as it
nut only 18 months old and had only
been fed 8 weeks,
The Cabinet.
Concerning the samp the Dallas
Herald says : Tbo wscretury of state
is Mr. Senator Bayard, of Delaware;
Sii eminence as a eiateeman is too.
well reeogniied to need common t
Thoroughly Democratic,, ho. will
probably impress himself very for-
ciby upon tho administration. Mr
Manning is perhaps the most effi-
cient worker that tho cause of re-
jo'rm bad in sew York whon tbo
ureat victory of Mr. Cleveland was
obtained against machine politics.
Without being a politician, bo is
tant dopai;lmont place, as mimy.
think, his finunoial talent will shine
wilhpoculinr lustro. ,
Of tho military heads Judgo Iridl-
colt us secretary ot war is the repre-
sentative of that true democracy that
knows no volonting becauso environ-
ed by political superiority. In Mas-
sachusetts, ho was tho standard
bearer of the democracy for gover-
nor, .and liko tho Adams family, who
havo most wonderfully rotainod their
greatness as inherited from the Pil-
grim Fathers, ho too has sustained
tho hereditary great nos of his namo.
Mr. Whitnoy, ofNow York, is
Bocrolnry of tljo navy, and is especi-
ally rumarknblo for Iub candor in
politics and absolute refusal to fol-
low parly blindfolded. He was a
Bplondid specimen of tlio pure and
spotless statesman in tho late presi-
dential campaign, and will manifest
in his cnergolicmunagomcnt of naval
affairs the great business copacity
and tact with which Now Yorkers
credit him.
Mr. Vilas has been already honor
ed as tho chairman of tho Chicago
democratic convention that nomirm
ted Mr. Cleveland. He is from Wi!
consin and for postmaster gone
it would havo beon impossible
bavo mado a more judicious solo'c

Ho is a very distinguished law'
broad and.cDmprohensivo stnto:
and one upon whose democracy'!
is no discount whntoyor. Tho por
folio of tho interior lias hcen award
cd.to Mr. Lamar, of Mississippi, and
;his high-toned patriotism, with his
prominent senatorial ability, assure
a wis'ejfjpd.'discreot administration
of tho affuirs'of his dopnrlmcnt.
Tho only criticism tho Herald can
advance'nn those selections is that
Tierhaps Mr. .Cleveland has drawn
.too largely upon tho sonato for his
personal and immediate- counselors.
How- tho administration can "got
along" without .Garland. Lamar and
Bayard in tho sonato it is difficult to
preceivo just, now, but it may bo that
their nFsislunco in tbo cabinet may
bo moro valuable still to tho country.

It will bo remembered that ono

sinco and taken to Paris, Texas, as
ono of tho murderers of Sheriff-elect
Blnck of Lamar county but vho was
killed boforo tukiug tho oath ot'ofTico.
Hoi man "peached" and caused tho
arrest of Ex-Sheriff Crook and ox-
Dopuly Harris, Following is his
evidonco on tbo examining trial :
Tho caso of ox-Sheriff and ex-Deputy
Sheriff Harris, . for tbo murder ol

Tho testimony offered by him show-
od a knowledge of tho plot to kill"
Black, Harris lolling him that he
would got Middloton to ktil Blaok.
Holman also stated that ho saw Mid

After promising Harris that ho (Hol-
man, who was a deputy sboriff) would
uot arrest him, Middleton, said ho
would do anything for Harris, as
Harris had been a good friend to him.
After leaving the jail room, while

man said ; "This is a pretty come-off
lor me, to bo walking by tho Bide of

Harris to. this replied ; "You bad
