FINE TOILET ARTICLES. && Waco, Texas, Monday Evening, December 14. 188=;. WET OR DRY, FIRST D IT OF JOHN BARLEYCORN'S TRIAL AT A7LIXTA. ExMarshal McKee’s Funeral—Death of Grata Brown—Old Bob Toombs Nearing the EndOther Notes and News. IN GENERAL. Atlanta, December 12—Today was the time set for the argument upon the injunction to restrain Ordinary Calhoun from declaring the result of the recent prohibition election. At an early hour this morning tremendous crowds assembled, composed of Atlanta’s most prominent citizens and a large representation of the Georgia bar. The auditorium was so densely packed that no standing room was left. Every available chair within the inclosure for the bar and press was occupied, and every inch of desk room was utilized by the legal scribes and press reporters. On calling the court to order Judge McCoy announced that each side of the case would be allowed four lawyers, and that each lawyer would be allowed an hour in which to present his case. The attorneys for the contestants were Julius L. Brown,King & Spalding, Hopkins & Glenn, A. H. Cox and Wil |is Hawkins. The counsel for the prohibitionists were Mynatt & Howell, T. P. Westmorelantl, Henry Haygood, Henry Jackson) Bill II. Miller, Ilaygood & Martin, Hooper Alexander, Hoke Smith and Judge Cochrane. The case was opened by Tulius L. Brown, who presented the history of the case and reviewed the laws bearing upon it. After Mr. Brown had finished, Mr. Alexander King continued for liquor men. A demurrer was filed by the contestees, and the wet side followed with a batch of affidavits, which were filed Thursday as evidence in the case, and concluding the introduction of the evidence. Julius L. Brown read an affidavit from the printer to show that the laws as published in pamphlet by authority of the legislature were not published before November the 21st, 1885. Judge McCoy asked, impa< tiently, “Mr. Brown, what is ’he purpose of that?” “To show that the act in force when the election was called never had been published,” was Mr. Brown’s reply. “Oh, well,” replied Judge McCoy, “go on, Mr. Brown, go on; but it seems to me according to your ideas of law there has not been a legal law passed in Georgia in twenty years.” This caused a hearty laugh in court, and encouraged the prohibitionists to think their chances ot success were improved. An argument as to the constitutionality of the hill followed. At a late hour it was found "that the arguments could not be concluded today, and the hearing adjourned till Monday. There is little betting on the result, but what there is is for even money. Neither side will offer odds. St. Louis, December 13.—Hon. B. Gratz Brown died at his residence in Kirkwood suburb, this city, this morning of pneumonia complicated with heart disease—aged 59 years. Mr. Brown was a prominent figure in the politics of this state for a number of years. Raleigh, N. C. December 13.—A remarkable exodusjof colored labor is now in progress from several counties along the southern border of this state. For some months men have been at work in all that section seeking to induce ablebodied men and their families to go to Kansas or Arkansas. It is thought that in all between 1,200 and 1.500 persons have thus far left, and this is so great a drain upon the labor of Richmond county that the people are anxious tr stop it. Pittsburg, December 13 —The Commercial GizRte will publish tomorro.v a lengthy communication from James Briggs, a miner e nployed at the AHequippa mines of Linn & Co., in which he makes the startling statement that, as the outcome of last week’s riot at Tine Run, the working miners have organized for the purpose of defending themselves against future attacks of strikers. He says they have sworn to a compact demanding life for life, if any of their number falls while going to work. Washington, Ga,, December 13.—Gen. Robt. Toombs is in a very critical condition, and his death is momentarily expected. Dr. Mulligan, his physician, says he cannot live fortyeight hours. For some weeks he had been rallying rapidly, but the relapse came yesterday. THE STATE. Austin, December 13.—The grand test of the grea* iron vault of the state treasury in the new capitol building was made today. S. T. Hayes, subcontractor for this p«ipose, on Saturday evening placed $1,000 in | the new vault standing on the foundation of the new capitol, and proposed to give it to any expert, provld d he took it ou’|by 6 ohlack this (Sunday) evening. The combination was set, and a copy duly deposited with the building commissioners, as an evidence that there was no crookedness. Mr. George P. Assman, the famous local expert, was set to work at 8 o’clock this morning, and worked nine hours, but failed to open it or find either one of the eight numbers of the combination on the vault. Dallas December 13.—The burial services of the late exMarshal Jas. A. Me Kee, whose suicide yesterday shocked the community, took place at 2 o’clock this aftei^ oon. The seat and center of Col. Me Kee’s trouble was that he was recently subjected to an additional excitement by suits against him and his bondsmen. About two years ago Crow, Hargadine & Co. and Goodhar, White & Co., of St. Louis, attached a stock of goods assigned by Moseley Brothers, of Denison, and Col. McKee, in the exercise of his fnnetions as U. S. marshal, took the goods in charge. Damage suits to the amount of $24,000 were recently filed against him and his bondsmen. Friday evening Col. McKee, seemingly much depressed in spirits, called on a law firm in Dallas to prepare indemnity bonds, which, it is understood, have since been forwarded to St. Louis, for the St. Louis firms, who ran the attachment, to sign, which lay at the root of the trouble. For several days before his death, though in conversation apparently rational, he seemed steeped in that deep and settled gloom in which voluntary control over the mind is suspended, and the patient finds himself unable to re sist the sad, hard fate of his ruling emotion. On to Aransas Pass. San Antonio Light. The railroad news from Waco is of a startling character. The Texas and St. Louis is Just emerging from its receivership, and it is said will enter the field as an open competitor with the Gould system for the St. Louis trade, and entirely ignoring the recent oppressive freight pool of the Texas railroads. It is to change to a standard gauge, an^'shorten the time between Waco and St. Louis fully eight hours. The importance of this enterprise and its influence on business can hardly be overestimated. What San Antonio now needs is railroad connection with the “Cotton Belt” system, and what the "Cotton Belt” needs is a gulf outlet via the oan Antonio and Aransas Pass railroad. Tom Varnell’s Second Habeas Corpus Trial. Messrs. Anderson, Flint & Anderson, of counsel for Tom P. Varnell, state that the appeal to the appellate court will be heard at the Galveston term, in January, before a full bench. The Hillsboro term, at which Varnell will be tried, does not open until the first Monday in March, and Varnell has no idea of laying in jail that long, if he can get trial. Money Lost. This morning, between Barney Feldhake’s and corner of Fifth and Austin streets—one $20 and a $10 bill, folded together. I will pay the finder liberally. J. H. McNeil. Waco, Dec. 14—it It Will be a Year Before anybody can buy, in Waco or anywhere else, a new, complete, latest edition of Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary for $9 75, always sold for $12. This offer holds good until Christmas only, at Taft’s bookstore.— i2io*3t Special Notice.

Fish and oysters delivered promptly anywhere in the city. 157im. Alex Brule, Prop’r. THE COURTS. Happenings in the Various Tribunals ToDay. In the recorder’s court this morning P. Felipe, Antonio Roches, Gus Clevis, John Snider, T. Little, W. H. Hornica, Joe Smith, W. R. Nailor, A. S. Fellows and James Ryan paid Irom $2 to $3 each for drunkenness. Jennie Dixon, offensive conduct, was taxed $3. The gay girls who drove so fast the other day, had their cases continued. They are preparing for a vigorous fight. This is “Jstice Sleeper’s regular court term opening day. A number of cases were set for trial and several judgements by default entered. Justice Davis did not transact any business of importance. In the district court, on motion of coun • sel for defendants, a new trial was granted in the case of A. F. Richmond vs. the I. and G. N. Railroad Co. Richmond, an exconconductor of the road, was discharged and blacklisted. He sued for $20,000 damages and got a verdict for $800. He didn’t seen to want a new trial, but Mr. Bollinger, for th< railroad company, did, and got it. The cast of W. S. Baker, administrator of the estat of S. E Bedwell, vs the heirs of Jonathai Bedwell,was compromised and discontinued. LOCAL LRIMINALI 1IES. Robbingol a Granger—Wheeler on a Rampage The Tramps. Ed. McDonald, white, was arrested Saturday night by officers Lowry and Whaley, charged with stealing two $20 gold pieces from Bob Nailor, another white man, whi lives near McGregor. About $12 was foun< in McDonald’s pocket. lie had a new suit of clothes on his his person and a great d,ai of whisky inside^ his corpus. He says he was drinking and don’t know anything about tht matter. He is in jail. It is said Nailor was drinking too. John Wheeler and whisky were taking in the town last night. Whisky was the silent and Wheeler the active partner in tht firm. He grew so furious that he insisted on breaking open several business houses or> the plaza. Constable Lee Jenkins appeared on the scene and landed Mr. Wheeler in jail, where he now languishes. Eight of the nine tramps arrested last week and jailed were released this morning. They could not be accommodated at the county convict farm and Sheriff Harris said he wouldn’t feed them in idleness any longer. They promised the jailor that if they couldn’t get work in the city they would shake the dust of Waco from their feet. The W. L. I. Benefit. The Day has advertised Chase’s Barley Malt whisky as a remedy for dyspepsia and those who have tried it say it is a good one Another remedy, and we believe it will take rank with any, is to invest in a ticket for the performance to be given by the amateur minstrels, for the benefit of the Waco Light Infantry, and enjoy two hours of laughing. It will make the most confirmed dyspeptic feel better. Cutler, Cheesman, Lyons and all the favorites will take part. W’atch the papers daily for details. A $1,000 Fine. People who are ground through the police court mill sometimes grumble at the size of the fines and costs. Let them read this and then talk about big fines. Deputy sheriff Dan Ford went out to McGregor Saturday and collected (in clean, cool cash) a fine of gl,ooo from a citizen of that burg. Fine and costs footed up $1,400. It was imposed by the county court of Navarro county, as the party who paid the fine comminted the misdemeanor in that county. It was the biggest fine the officials here had ever heard of in all their experience. A Card—Don't Want Mins*rel Show Money. To the Editor of The Day: The notice that appeared in The Day of Saturday, that the “Young Kersands Minstrels” were playing to raise money for the New Hope Baptist church, is inaccurate. The pastor and officers know of no such a thing. The church is not ready, as yet, to form an alliance with a minstrel show, notwithstanding we are in great need ot funds for our new building. Respectfully, L. G. Jordan, Waco, Dec. 14. Pastor. —The ladies of the Liberal Hall emigregation have decided to give their entertainment on Thursday night next, at the Me Clelland opera house. The programme will be of a musical nature, with refreshments and a ball. All the committees . were appointod yesterday and their personnel gives assurance that the entertainment will be firstclass in all its details. Further particulars will be given from day to day. The $50,000 Check. On Saturday afternoon last the Pacific Express company brought to U. S. Clerk Finks a certified check for $50,000, which was de Price * Cent?. posited in the Waco National bank. It was the money required, by order cf Judge Pardee, to be paid in by the purchasers, at the recent sale, of the Texas and St. Louis railroad. Cotton in Waco ToDay. We think twentyfive bales would cover the receipts by wagon up to noon. Prices remain virtually unchanged from Saturday’s quotations, being 8 to 8130. The total receipts to date will aggregate 56,000 bales. e PERSONAL AND GENERAL. Next Easter Sunday falls on the 25th of April, a fact which has not occurred since 1734, and will not occur again befoie 1943. Miss Cleveland’s favorite flowers are pond lilies and roses. A bouquet of pond Mies is taken to her room every morning and afresh basket placed on the table at breakfast. A suit brought by spiritualists against the t rwn of Randolph, Vt., to obtain a share of the town’s money for the support of the gospel,' has been decided in favor of the town by tl e supreme court. William Bender, of Cincinnati, recently t r w into.the fire apackage containing $40, 000 in government bonds. He had been drinking heavily and fa icied some of his relatives were after his wealth. A negro at Fort Gaines, Ga., said to be a good farm hand, has offered * to contract for next year for a quart of whisky every Saturlay night, a mule to ride on Sunday, clothes and food, and $5 cash at Christmas. The boys in the Chinese Mission school in Boston appear to prefer women teachers. One of them who, in the absence of his own eacher, was put under a man teacher, seemed uneasy. When asked the reason, he replied, ‘Me want old gal!” The engagement of James Bayard, eldest .son of ihe secretary of state, to Miss Deakins, a West Virginia farmer’s daughter, is announced by a Washington society paper, h is understood that tbe secretary of state still refuses to recognize his son or the lady in any way whatever. A Limp Baggage Smasher. Healdsburg Enterprise. At one of the stations on the San Francisco and Northern Pacific railway, a few Sundays since, an elderly gentleman got off ihe cars to take brief observations during the >toppage of the train. The assistant at the station rushed out and made a regular baggage smasher’s attack on a trunk, which he slammed about with a reckless disregard of consequences. The other man interposed: “Young man, won’t you break that trunk?” The young man turned a withering look upon the old gentleman and impudently inquired: “What’s the matter with you? Do you own this trunk?” “No, sir!” came back in a tone that evinced much indignation, “but I’ll have you to understand, sir, that I own this railroad.” As Colonel Donahue moved back to the train the limp young man reclined against the station for support. The Big Bridge Magnetized. N. Y. Sun. Tests made of the elevated railroad structurqs, of the Brooklyn bridge cables, and iron store fronts show that they are all magnetized. The induced magnetism from the earth is supposed to have been fixed by the jarring to which these structures have been subjected while under magnetic influence. The bottom parts of all pieces of iron thus magnetized show north polarity, and the cables of the bridge are said to be magnetized in the direction of their diameter, the upper surface of the cables, throughout their length, being of south polarity, and lower surface north. The Water Question. Dallas Times. The water we now get is not good—that’s certain. If Old Dives had lived here before he departed hence, and Lazarus had brought him in accordance with h?s request, a bucket of water and told him he got it at Dallas, the poor old man would have told him to pour it out and bring him a gallon of hot !ea*d. What She was Engaged To. Harper’s Bazar. Student to serv nt at the door: “Miss Brown?” Servant; “She’s engaged.” “I know it. I’m what she’s engaged to.” A Test of Advertising.
