DENISON,
THURSDAY.............FEB. 27, >*73
Monday
A four foot vein of excellent coal
has been discovefcd near Council
Grove, Kansas_
The Tennessee Legislature has
passed a bill abolishing the office of
public printer.
The State Fair will open at Hous-
ton on the 12th of May and continue
eight days._
St. Joe is making an attempt to
organize the St. Joseph, Kansas and
Texas railroad.
Geo. L. Porter and Miss Libbie
Randon were married in Houston on
the night of the 20th inst. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. Mr.
Trader. The News speaks of it as
a very “fashionable wedding.”
There were numerous attempts
made by incendiaries to fire the city
of Galveston on the night of the 19th.
The Board of Underwriters have
offered a reward of $1000 for the
apprehension of any of the scoun-
drels engaged in it.
The joint resolution ratifying the
vote of the people upon the constitu-
tional amendment granting lands for
internal improvement, passed the
Senate on the 19th by a r ote ot 26
ayes to 2 nays. The correspondent of
the Galveston News says it will pass
the House by at least a two-third vote.
It is rumored in Kansas City, and
it is quite generally believed, that
the free bridge across the Kaw river,
between that city and Wyandotte
has been purchased by Messrs. J.
£. Marsh and James Craig, of the
latter city.
Robert Champion, a negro, was
hanged in Fayetteville, Mo., on the
2 r st, for the cold-blooded murder of his
wife in July last. On the gallows
he declared himself innocent, and said
he forgave every one. His neck
was not broken by the fall, but the
physicians reported that death ensued
almost instantly from strangulation.
We learn from the State Gazette,
that an attempt was made by an in-
cendiary on the night of 19th, to set
fire to the building occupied by Mrs.
E. B. Nichols, in Austin. The
fiend gained access to the house,
threw fire over a partition into an un-
occupied room of the second floor,
and the fire had made considerable
progress when discovered. It was
soon extinguished without giving an
alarm. _
The first passenger train on the
Texas Central road entered Sherman
last Saturday. The excitement in
the town in consequence was tre-
mendous and still continues. As
the stimulous wears ofl. it is said all
hands resort to the saloons for nerve
strengtheners, and thus keep up the
strain. The latter institutions are
doing a lively business.
iy eroniag the dtiaens of
Denison congregated rt A* fo*
Owings street, to witness the laying
of the comer stone of the magnificent
Flouring Mill now in course of erec=
tion by the proprietors, Messts. Boss,
Jennings & Co.
At the unanimous request of the
vast concourse of people there as-
sembled, Mr. J. W. Jennings acted
as master of ceremonies, anti in a
few brief remarks explained the na-
ture of the occasion which had
brought the assembly together, after
which tire workmen proceeded to lay
the northeast corner stone of what is
to be the most expensive building yet
projected in Denison.
The ceremony of placing the stone
in position having been performed,
the squaerapplied and the same prov-
en to be correct, the blessings of Dei-
ty were invoked on the propietors,
the workman and the building.
Owing to the inclemency of the
weather, no speeches were made by
any of the various gifted gentlemen
present, but mail)' were the congrat-
ulations the inaugurators of this great
enterprise received, and all evidently
felt proud of the work which had
been commenced under such pleas-
ing auspices.
The following articles were sealed
up in a canister and placed under the
corner stone :
A copy of the first number of the
Daily Nkws, n copy of the Week-
ly News, and also a copy of the
Journal, a time card and freight
tariff of the M. K. & T. Ry., one of
Boss, Pinto & Joining's business
cards, a postage stamp, a nickel, each
denomination of fractional currency,
and a letter of dedication; also a
small vial of the fluid extract of corn.
The mill which lias received the
name ot “The Lone Star Mill of Den-
ison,” in honor of the great State in
which it is located, is to be built of
the excellent brown sand stone ob-
tained in the vicinity of Denison, and
consists ot three stories besides the
basement, with a mansard loof. The
mason work is being done under the
direction of Messrs. J. L. Stuait k
Co., and the wood work by Mr. II.
J. Landon. The mill machinery
whs built by Mr. J. K. Holdman and
the engine and boilers by Messis.
Smith, Briggs k Co., of St. Louis.
The mill work will he put up under
the direction of Superintendent Da-
vid Langton, who is also to be the
miller and will be a partner in the
mill.
There are to be three run of four
feet burrs, for grinding wheat, and
one run of three and one-half feet
burrs for corn. The capacity of the
mill will he 200 barrels of flour per
day. (requiring 1,000 bushels of
wheat),and 400 barrels of corn meal.
The best brand of flour will be
known as the Lone Star brand.
Thus has been inaugurated a work
of which every good citizen of our
young and thriving city may justly
be proud, and which will piove a
lasting blessing to Northern lexas.

DISASTROUS EIRE IN WAXAUAOIIIE
It is shocking to bel.vve that a
woman would lie allowed to walk
the streets of Kansas City 29 long
hours with a dead infant in her arms.
Such a thing actually occurred mi
the 21st instant. The poor mother
was a stranger, and the infant only
seven weeks old, and yet no one of
that populous Christian city hadchar-
ito enough to see the babe decently
buried. At last Father Donnelly
and several otherCatholicgentlemen,
having their attention called to the
case, took charge of the body, ob-
tained a coffin and provided it a
final resting place.
THE MURDER AT THE CAPITOL.
The account of the brutal murder
of Representative Frankee at Aus-
tin, taken from the Galveston News,
and published in another column,
will create a profound sensation. Mr.
Frankee was from Fayette county,
and universally respected. A com-
mittee composed of Senators Sayers,
Dilln. I .aid Fountain, and Represen-
tatives Ireland, Kilimigh and Brown,
Was appointed by those bodies re-
spectively to ferret out the perpetra-
tors of the foul deed. Roth branches
of the Legislature then adjourned
over to the 2tst. The citizens of
Austin will probably oiler a reward
of $2000 for the arrest of the mur-
derer. Great excitement exists in
the city among all classes.
Galveston, Feb. 21.—A special
from Ennis to-day states that the
town of Waxahachie has been visit-
ed by a disastrous fire, originating
last night about mid-night, in Kenne-
dy’s carriage shop, from thence it
spread to E. II. Park’s family gro-
cery, Compton & Son’s dry goods
house, the Democrat printing office,
A. Triplet & Son’s family grocery,
A. Triplet k Son’s dry goods house,
f. E. Smith, dry goods, Abe ^Mtil-
key’s family grocery, Jesse Wiley’s
saddle shop. At the time of the fire
a heavy norther was blowing, and all
efforts to arrest the flames were of no
avail, and everything in all of the
houses enumerated above was burn-
ed. Nothing w as saved. It is thought
the insurance is doubtful. 1 he orig-
ination of the fire is supposed to he
the work of an incendiary.
Ox to Texas.—From a Marietta,
Ga., letter to the Atlanta Herald:
“Seven cars all crowded, jammed,
not even standing-room, and at least
another car load left behind in the
depot at Atlanta. Capt. Fuller, who
always knows what he can tlo, said
he could pull no more. Where are
all these going? It reminded me of
war times to see such crowds on the
train. ‘They are 011 their way to
Texas.’ Great Heavens! will this
exodus to the west ever stop? Ev

fall, going west has been crowded;

discovered (some five or six minutes
after leaving the hall) he was sitting
upon the steps, his groaning having
attracted the attention of an employee
of the Comptroller’s department who
was going into the capitol. ^ A few
seconds after Senator Flanagan
reached the scene ; he was on his way
home and was passing around the
capitol. It was so dark that the
Senator could not. tell whether the
man was wounded or not, nor could
he say whether the man was white or
black. In answer to questions who
he was, the man replied: “My
name is Louis Frankee ; am a mem-
ber of the House of Representatives,
and a member of the committee struck
me on the head with a stick.” Sena-
tor Flanagan then suspecting foul
work asked Mr. Frankee if he had
any money. The reply was “yes,
and he immediately put his right hand
into his vest pocke’t, hut not finding
money there he asked, “Who has got
it?” Lights where then brought from
the hall, and it wasfaund that his skull
was broken, having been struck over
the right ear with a slung-shot or
other weapan.
The sergeant-at-arms, Rhodes, had
paid him $260 as his per dime a short
time before. 1 his, with his watch,
was found to be missing. He was
taken to his room, where he expired
about four o’clock this morning.
The general impression is that Ser-
geant-at-arms Rhodes was the man
the assissins were in wait tor, and 1
think the supposition based on good
grounds.

M1I1TUKKN EXTENSION OF THE M.,
K. & T. RAILWAY.
Ilarvey Bunco, Esq., returned from
Sedalia yesterday, and is quite en-
thusiastic over flic now assured early
consummation of the enterprise he
has toiled so incessantly to bring
about. He assures us that the M.,
K. k T. will be running trains
through this city by the first of May
at the furthest, and perhaps by the
middle of April. A large force of
men are at work between this city
and Sedalia on the South, and to
Moberly on the North. Ties will be
laid next week from Sedalia this
way, and it is proposed to commence
laying the iron without waiting for
the entire completion ol the road-bed
to this city. As soon as the condi-
tion of tire river will permit, it is the
intention to largely augment the
force at work on the bridge, and
things will he pushed forward with
that'wonderful energy characteristic
of the M., K. A T. company. The
attempt will be made to complete
the structure before the winter of
1S74 sets in, but it is hardly possible
that such effort will meet with suc-
cess as the bridge is an undertaking
of no ordinary magnitude. In the
meantime, it is proposed to transfer
all trains from this to the other side
of the river. Negotiations are now
pending between Capt. Porter and
the company looking to such altera-
tion of the Birdie Brent, as to enable
the transporting ot three cars at a
time, from Cooper county side to old

this amount on his person, he left the
hall to come down town to supper.
As he reached the top step the thought
struck him that, as the night was
pitch dark, it was hazardous for lnm
to go down town alone with so much
money in his possesion. He returned
to await the going down of others.
He then went into the Senate cham-
ber. and talked with some person he
met there for ten or twelve minutes,
when some one entered and said Mr.
Frankee had been killed at the foot
of the capitol steps. It is supposed
Mr. Frankee passed out of the hall
of Representatives immediately after
Mr. Rhodes went into the Senate
chamber, and as he descended the
steps, being about the size of Mr.
Rhodes, was taken for him, and so
met the fate that awaited another.
A feeling of horror prevades the
entire community. Every effort will
he made to discover the assassins, and

be if they are discovered.

x An ingenious inventor has turned
electricity to a new account, but not
as yet with complete success. His
object is to use it as a motive power
for the propulsion ot vessels in lieu
of steam, and he tried the experi-
ment the other day 011 a yacht nam-
ed the Miranda, with the screw de-
tached. The result was the driving
of the shaft at such an immense ve-
locity that before the machine could
be stopped it had broken away the
fastenings, being too powerful by
half for all the work it had to do.
The inventor of the machine, which
is called the “Electro-Magnet Mo-
tor,” estimates the number of its rev-
olutions at full speed at from 1400 to
1600 per minute.
