Late last TlFiafternoon
the residence iPImK 'Henry
Moore came near being destroyed
by fire, but the promptness of
the fire boys prevented any great
damage. The fire originated in
a closet of the dwelling, and a
lot of clothing was burned; be-
sides some damage being done to
thejmtqrior of the house. The
damagfe was about S150, covered
by insurance in the Continental.

Quite a number of Bartlett's
population loft for Georgetown
where the majority of them had
been summoned on the special
venire in the case of the State vs

months ago. The caso was trans
ferred to Georgetown on a change
of venue and set for last Mon-

of the most important witnesses
for the defense were absent, and
on motion of the defendant the

nesses present from Austin, and
the case promised to be quite an
infertAing one.

Railway, is authority for the

erecting an improvised fence the
fact was discovered. A hollow
post wasdriveh into the earth a
few feet. Something whizzed at
the top, A match settled the
question. Natural gas was
pouring out in a continuous,

The country papers, so far as
the Tribune has learned, are
unanimous in condemning tK"e
aneff early primaries, and the Tribune
is of like opinion. There would
perhapsbo, no Bpecial objection

reason fpi it, as regards county
and precinct officers.lbutf-ijis en-
0rely vrong to precipitate tha
state election. We do not know,
who will be the candidates for
state offices mor their platfoms,
and in, the brief time allowed,
there will-be but little opportun-
ity for the voters to aot intelli-
gently. Independent candidates
for looal offiices may be expect
