The San Antonio Express is right the
railroads do get the worst of it in jury
verdicts and that is just what The Ga-
zette said These verdicts against the
roads are travesties on justice But the
people were forced into the court room
by the refusal of railroad employes to
give deoeht consideration to claims for
damageo The roads force the people to
resort to the courts aud the result is that
the roads are robbed through law The

positive but the rider and his friends
thought ho would get off with a S5 fine
You may imagine how they felt when the
court imposed a fine of 8GQ and thirty

determined to put a stop to this thing of

If oxi1 a few counties of West Texas
would get together and pool the ex-
pense of printing the actual facts con-
cerning the adaptability and productive-
ness of their soil ana disseminating this
information where it would do the most
good the result would be found generous
remuneration for all the time and money
oxpeuded Statements of crops raised in
each of the cooperating counties giv-
ing minute facts would carry conviction
and leave the homeseeker free and
unbiased to choose the field of
his investigation and such state-
ments should be placed in the hands of
those who desired to seek new homes
and the cooperating counties could elect
the plan host suited to this purpose Co-
operation of even ten or twelve counties
would lessen the expense dignify the
effort and extend its benefits
THE FLEMOX CASE
A gpod deal of noise has been made by
certain papers concerning the case qf
Flemou alias Yeldell In 1881a sheriffs
posse of Edgefield county South Caro
linaqf which James S Blackwell was a
member undertook to arrest John Yel
dell and two other colored men A fight
ensued in which Blackwell wa3 kiileci
The two companions of Yeldell were
tried and acquitted it appearing that he
had fired the shot Yeldell escaped A
shout time ago it was ascertained that
Yelell was living in

Pittsburgh Pa
where he is known as Itev E P
Plemon He was arrested aipon a requi-
sition from the governor of South Caro-
lina
Then came the trouble Instead of
allowing the prisoner to be turned over
tp the South Carolina authorities a
large number of people including a cood
many Western Pennsylvania clergymen
took the matter up and raised
Yeldell from a common murderer into a
great national issup They charged that
the trouqle with Yeldell was political
in its origin and that the South Caro-
lina people only wanted to take him
back to murder him Governor Beaver
was prevailed upon to suspend the war-
rants and hold the prisoner until Rev
George W Clinton was sent to Edgefield
county S C to investigate the case
When Clinton returned a great crowd
assembled to hear his statement to the
governor He said he had been told that
Blackwell was no an officer which was
true he was only summoned for the oc-
casion by the sheriff that two negroes
were killed by the sheriffs posse in at
temptiug to make the arrest and that
afterwards four negroes hnd beqn shot
and one drowued A South Carolina dep-
uty sheriff testified that nobody had
been Shot or drowned in connection with
the Yeldell case and declared that the
prisoner would have a tair trial if sent
back to South Caiolina
Governor Beaver finally decided to
give Yeldell up but said ho would have
to communicate with Governor Richard
sou in regard to the steps to be taken to
insure his safety
In the meantime the jail at Pittsburg
was surrounded by an excited throng qf
negroes who were there to prevent the
prisoner from being taken away and t
was thought that his removal wotjld have
precipitated trouble
The incident amounts to little in itself
and but serves to show the desperate
straits to which our Northern brethren are
driven to keep up a feeling of sectional
bitterness and animosity Suppose a
lockedout raiper or mill hand in Penn-
sylvania should shoot down one of Pink
ertons detectives or a member of the
Iron Police empfqyed at intervals
byMillionaire Carnegie and other emin-
ent Northern philanthrophists and es-
caping to South Carolina the governor
of that slate should refnsp to jrive him up

Spokane Falls was burned to the ground
by the fire whioh started lastnight He
tails of the destruction were hard to ob-
tain This morning the news of the vir-
tual wiping out of tho pity came tirpigh
the Western Union telegraph companys
officials here They report the telegraph
office iu Spokaue as having been swept
out of existence Every effort has beep
made tp restore yqnjmunipatjqpbut when
success would be attained they could not
sayLater
Later information is that forty business
blocks have fallen a prey tq the flames
If has been definitely ascertained thqt the
Northern Pacific depot and nil public
buildiugs in the city were carried away
ill the general havoc The first estimate
received placed the loss at 3OQQQQ0Q
Spokane was one of the roost prominent
of the many new cities in infantine Wash-
ington situated on the line of the North-
ern Pacific railway close to the Caeur d
Alcnp raining region The pity hps bpen
a site for many largp industrial estab-
lishments such as smelters and kindred
enterprises Expensive pubUp edifices
hacj also been recently erected and the
population was easily supporting two
prosperous daily papers
The business district of Spokane was
in a strip between the Northern Pacific
railroad track ajid Spokane river This
strin was five squares pcross and extended
abpqt saveu squares in length It wqs
splily built up with brick and stone
structures the cpst of which varied from
25000 to 12 5C0Q The ten banking
houses iiyo hotels opera liqpse and
many wholesale establishments dohur a
business estimated n t iiajf a ipillion dol-
lars each were situated within the district
described The estimate of 30000000
loss is belived hero to be exagerated
naif that amount is thought to bo nearer
tho actual figures The reported complete
destruction of tho cijy is qprrept The
pppijjatipu of Spokane was about 2Q00Q
The pity possessed an excellent water-
works modeled nfter the Holley system
twith a oapacity qf nine million gallons
daily There were no fire engines but
by the systpm in use five or six good sized
streams of water could be cqpeentrated
upon any block m case of fire The de
partment was a volunteer one

Spokane Falls started ju a large frapa
block opposite the Northern Papific
depot and under the influence of hijrh
winds which scattered burning embers
tmd started fires qn half a dqzep differ-
ent blqpks at once The whole district
was burned over inthree hours The
water supply proved totally inadequate
even for a small fire apd the firemen as
well as the citizens became papip stricken
Several people are known tp have per-
ished in tie flames apd several mpre
were injured by leaping from the win
dows
Charles Davis of Chicago a guest qt
the Arlington house was awakened by
the flames bursting through
the door of his room ip
the third story lie jumped frpm
the window wag shockingly mangled
aud died in a few minutes
A woman whose name was unknown
leaped from the second story of the Pa-
cific hotel and was killed
The fire spread with such astorMhing
rapidity that it is believed map fwere
shut off from escape before tti J were
even aware of tljq jr danger C Ifqzeu
largo buildings were blown up th iant
powder by order of thp mayq but en
this proved futile The N Pa
cific is probably the h eavjp > ose t
passenger depot and a ma fiificept new
freight warehouse bein g destroyed
Their loss including tne freight burned
will reach about one million dollars
All provisions and supplies were
burned and there will necessarily be
much suffering for several days Ap-
peals for help have been sept out and
Portland Seattle Tacoma and several
neighboring small towns have already
responded
This disaster is undoubtedly twice as
great as that which overtook Seattle
both on account of its great extent and
the more substantial character of the
burned buildings No aceqiint of the
loss has yet been received
The Western Uiiion office has burned
out aud all the instruments were de-
stroyed except one which qn qpcrator js
