Associated Press,
St. Louis, September 23.—Notwithstanding
the fact that the morning broke
clear and warm, and that the parade
postponed from Tuesday was to occur at
11 o’clock, the crowds on the street early
this morning were much smaller than on
previous mornings this week. The social
festivities of last evening were most
directly responsible for this condition of
affairs. By 9 o’clock, however, citizens
and visitors began to emerge from their
resting places, and available points of
observation along the line of march were
soon occupied by a mass of jovial, paj
tient, perspiring spectators. Last night’s
and this morning’s outgoing trains carried
many departing knights and visitors,
although the exodus was not sufficiently
large to work any appreciable
diminution of the crowds on the streets.
The participants in the parade were
prompt in their movements, and began
to report at the rendezvous even before
the hour announced. All the streets in
the lower portion of the city were fairly
alive with the moving battalions, accompanied
by gaily caparisoned bands. At
the hour of eleven the signal for the start
was given. By this time, the crowds
along the line of march were so dense
that all forms of locomotion were rendered
extremely difficult. Scores of
stands erected on vacant lots and
in front of buildings were crowded
chiefly with gaily dressed ladies and
children. Along the lower portion of the
route the windows in three miles of business
houses werejammed with people,who
had selected these points of observation.
The procession was headed by a platoon
of mounted police, which cleared the
way for its progress.
Secretary Lamar’s Coming Marriage
Associated Press. •
Washington, September 23.—Secretary
Lamar’s romance is out. He is up
in New Hampshire wooing his first love.
Ostensibly he is getting ready an address
on John C. Calhoun. Actually he
is renewing his courtship of long years
ago with a Georgia widow. It is quietly
talked in his family circle that Mr. Lamar
is averse) to continuing a widower
any longer than is absolutely necessary,
and has shaped his affairs for a marriage
late this fall or early in the winter. Hi:
attachment for the lady in question r ltedated
his first marriage, but
a lover’s quarrel parted them.
Two years difference in the
age of the secretary and his prospective
bride will not prove an insurmountable
obstacle. A handsome foitune brought
to Mr. Lamar’s establishment will not
lessen the pleasures of social life in
Washington. Early in the summer the
future Mrs. Lamar left her home in Macon
for a sojourn with old friends in a
New England village. As soon as publie
business would permit the secretary
joined her, and the twain are now in the
neighborhood ofBethlehem, N. H. This,
the second matrimonial venture of Mr.
Lamar, has not yet become public property,
but it is discussed among his intimate
friends, and some say he will not
wait for an elaborate wedding, but when
he gets back to his desk at the interior
department will bring his bride along.
Secretary Manning’s Probable Successor.
Associated Press.
Washington, September 23.—The
rumors of Mr. Manning’s retirement
from the cabinet are, of course, followed
by speculations as to who will succeed
him. The only gentlemen prominently
mentioned for the place are Acting Secretary)
Fairchild “of New York, exSenator
Joseph McDonald, of Indiana, and
Hon. Wm. E. Scott, of Pennsylvania.
The probabilities point most largely to
the first of these three. The appointment
of Mr. Fairchild would be in line with
the president’s theory of promotion for
faithful service in public life.
The chief obstacle to his appointment
lies in the fact that Mr. Cleveland, having
made up his mind to obtain a renomination,
would be loth to give so important
a position to one carrying^so few
political guns. The appointment would
no t strengthen him materially in New
York, where Mr. Fairchild, though considered
a rising and clever young man,
has no special personal following.
here and committed to the countyjail by
Justice Pence yesterday. While on the
way to the county seat with the prisoner
the constable was overpowered by a
number of armed men who took Flowers
from custody and carried the negro a
short distance and shot him to death.

sensation, is in Montreal. It is estimated

the exact amount. He will be
thrown into insolvency tomorrow, thus
removing attachments and prior claims.

A FARMER’S MISHAP.
Mr. Minnix Loses $270 on Austin Street*
Mr. G. W. Minnix, a farmer, who lives
in the southern portion of Hill cqunty,
near ;he McLennan county line, came to
the city this morning. He was paid
something over $340 in East Waco, due
him by Mr. Faulkner, the merchant.
Coming west of the river he went to W.
M. Kellett’s store and paid a debt of
about $50 he owed there. Placing the
roll of money(all greenbacks) in a small
paper sack, which he put in his pocket,
he started for Sam Novich’s store, on
Austin street near the plaza, where he
intended to pay another debt. He lost
the sack of money somewhere on Austin
street, for when he reached Novich’s
store and reached in his pocket for his
cash it was gone. He says he feels certain
it must have dropped out somewhere
on the street. With him were two
or three friends and acquaintances, from
his section of country. After searching
up and down the street Mr. Minnix reported
his loss to City Marshal Moore.
The officers have done all in their
power to aid Mr. Minnix in his search,
but to no avail. The parties who were
with him asked that their persons might
be searched, to relieve them of suspicion.
A onearmed man, whose name the reporter
was unable to learn, says he saw
the roll of money drop from Mr. Minnix’s
pocket and that it was picked up by
a tall man, without any coat, wearing a
brown hat and pants stuffed in his
boot legs. This man, the onearmed
man says, turned from
Austin street into Fifth and
walked rapidly away. The sum lost by Mr.
Minnix is between $265 and $270, all in
S’s, 10’s and 20’s.* Mr. Minnix says he
will give $50 for the return of the money,
and no questions .will be asked. He is a
poor man, worked hard for the money,
and is in debt. Merchants here who
know Mr. Minnix assure The Day that
he is an honest, reliable man.
Willing to Compromise
“Will you please give me a dime?” said
a tramp. “I’m blind.”
“You can see out of one eye as well as I
can,” replied the gentleman importuned.
“You are only half blind.”
•‘Then give me half a dime,” said the
tramp.

St. Louis, September 22.—Deputy
Sheriff Skidmore arrived here today
having in charge the once famous Martin
Irons, leader of the great southwest
strike last spring, and delivered him'into
the custody of the jailer. Irons was
arrested in Kansas City because his
bondsmen here refused to longer continue
on his bond in the wire tapping
conspiracy case. Irons presents a woebegone
appearance. His clothes hang in
tatters on him and he looks ten years
older than he did last spring. He says he
has been sought out and persecuted wherever
he went. Though trying in eveiy
way to make an honest living, he could
do nothing. He makes no complaint
against any one, however, and seems to
be resigned to suffer for all his own sins
as well as the sins he committed for
others. There is some surprise that
Irons is so deserted by all his old friends,
and some hotly claim that Irons is made
a scapegoat to suffer for the rashness of
the men who forced him to call the
strike.
Washington, September 22.—The
workmen engaged today in tearing the
plumbing out of Secrefary Manning’s
private office found in a little closet in a
corner a pipe four inches in diameter,
besides several small pipes, leading directly
to a sewer without, and a trap or
contrivance to prevent the sewer gas
from coming into the room.
These pipes strike the sewer just
at its head, where the greatest amount of
gas is formed. In the winter, when the
doors and windows were shut the air was
most oppressive, and sometimes in the
coldest weather Mr. Manning was forced
to open the window. His physicianspronounce
his disease blood poisoning from
sewer gas, and say it was brought on beyond
doubt by his sitting in that little
room.
Rusk, September 22.—Burnett and
Mulky, the Texas evangelists, closed a
most successful meeting here last night.
The meeting has been in progress for
one week. Great crowds from the town
and county came to hear them. There
were 156 penitents and over fiftysix conversions
and reclamations. Great good
has been done in this town and county. T
Galveston, September 22.—Wiggins’
absurd prediction published this morning
to the effect that Galveston, Houston,
San Antonio and other cities were
to be visited by an extraordinary earthquake
on the 29th of this month created
no apparent uneasiness here, but the prediction
has been the subject of many
jocose sayings on the street. Wiggins
can’t scare Galvestonians. They know
he is an arrant fraud, because he predieted
a hurricane of the “first magnitilde”
for Galveston on March 10, 1883,
but that day was pleasant and balmy.
The fall equinox has brought with it
a decidedly rainy spell. It has rained
here for the past three days, the rain today
registering 1.42 inches. So far this
month 6.84 inches of rain has fallen in
Galveston. In September of last year,
from the 1st to the 20th, occurred the
heavest rain fall of which Galveston has
any record, the register being 26.01
inches.
Mrs. Marie Farreau, one of the early
settlers of Galveston, who arrived in the
city September, 1833, died yesterday
morning in the 99th year of her age, and
was buried this afternoon from the residence
of Mrs. A. O. Girard, corner of
TwentySixth) and Winnie, with whom
she has been living"for the past eleven
years. The deceased came from France
to this country, and her husband died
here in the early days of Galveston.
Fort* Worth, September 22.—Day
before yesterday there arrived in this city
from the state of Maine a man named
Geo. Nelson, apparently fifty years of
age. He was dressed in a modest manner,
and from his appearance he would
be taken for a railroad man. He had
been in the city but a short time before
he was in consultation with Marshal'Rea,
whom he asked to assist h’m in recovering
his child which he believed
was somewhere in Fort Worth. He
stated in detail to the officer that he wr.s
a miner, and at times a sporting man.
That several years ago he left his wife
and child at his home in Maine and went
into the Black Hills country. He returned
home a few months ago, and was astonished
to learn that his wife had abandoned
)her home and eloped with
another man, carrying the child with
her.
He traced his wife and her companion
to Fort Worth, and after a short
search found her and the man she eloped
with living together as man and wife.
The man in the case is a well known
restaurateur here, being proprietor of the
finest restaurant in the city. The peopie
here have regarded the woman with
whom he has been living as his wife, and
have treated her as such. The developments
in the case have created quite a
ripple in the city.
Beaumont, September 22.—The following
call for another democratic state
convention has been issued:
Whereas, The monopolists and their
tools, the whisky ring and its agents, the
pojiticians who are democrats for
office only, and the corporations
of the state of Texas, all combined
and captured the democratic convention,
socalled, held at Galveston,
Aug. 10, 1886, and believing they, the
aforesaid monopolists, whisky rin:v ”

ticians and corporations, instead of representing
the true and best interests of
the people, are directly organized against
them:
Therefore, we, the undersigned life
long democrats, hereby call upon the
democrats of Texas, and all others who
are interested in a pure and representative
government opposed to all class
favoritism, to select delegates and meet
in convention at the city of Dallas at
; o’clock p. m. October 7, 1886, to then
nominate a state ticket and adopt such
platform as they see fit.
Then follows the outline of a platform
covering all the views of the opposition,
We suggest that the proper basis
of representation in this convention shal.
be two votes from each county, regardless
of population, and one vote for every
5,000 inhabitants, or majority fraction of
5,000. Hal W. Greer,

The City’s Condemnation Case Against
Moore’s Property.
The legal steps, on the part of the city,
looking to the condemnation of a strip
of land along the rear of Mr. James I.
Moore’s Austin street property, for alley
purposes, were inaugurated today. The
three commissioners appointed to inspect
the property and assess damages
were Messrs. D. S. Wood, James B.
Baker and Jno. V. Smith. Ten o’clock
this morning was the hour set for the
meeting of the commissioners, who had
made a careful inspection of the premises
some time ago. A number of witnesses
had been summoned by each side. At
ten o’clock Messrs. Wood ank Baker, of
the commission, were present but Mr.
Smith was absent. He is in St. Louis
and is not expected home until Saturday
or Sunday. It was decided to adjourn
the meeting until two o’clock this afternoon.
When the hour of 2 o’clock came
Mr. D. iS. Wood, Mr. Moore, City Attorney
Blair, Mr. Wm. Edmonds and
several orher gentlemen who had been
summoned as witnesses were present,
but Mr. James B. Baker, the second
member of the commission, did not
make his appearance. After waiting for
him some tim'e, the meeting adjourned
until 2 o’clock next Monday afternoon,
at which time it is believed Messrs.
Baker and Smith can both be present.

“Oh, the poor farmers! How my heart is
wrung until it exudes great drops of sympathetic
tears of blood for you as I see you
ground down by the remorseless railroad
corporations, who exact excessive tolls to enable
them to pay dividends upon their watered
stock. Oh, the poor laborer in the e.nploy
of the soulless railroad corporation;
you, too, are suffering, working at reduced
wages that these watered shares may be made
to pay increased dividends to tbeir rich hoiders!
Oh, the poor everybody! How my
soul yearns to rush to your relief from the
degrading thralldom of watered stock, strike
down your shackles and free you from excessive
charges to meet dividends on stock
for which no equivalent was given! Let me
tackle the giant monopoly, tne cormorant
corporation (as a U. S. senator), and
strengthen me (with $5000 a year and perquisites)
for the mighty struggle with the
people’s foe!”

“John,” said the wife of a Dakota settler
when he came home from a trip to town,
“old Bill is dead at last.
“Well, that’s good. I ’lowed when I
turned him out in the pasture the other day
that if he didn’t die ’fore winter I’d have to
shoot him. It don’t pay to keep a hoss
when it gets as old and feble as he was. He
’peared extra weak this morning.”
“Oh, he didn’t die that way. Some
Chicago hunters came long and shot him by
mistake.”
“Shot him, hey! Well, that’s blame
smart! How much did you get for him?”
“Why, I told ’em it was all right, that we
wanted him to die.”
“Great thunder, woman, don’t you know
nothing’? Why in blazes didn’t you tell
’em he was our family buggy hoss and worth
$150? Great snakes! it seems as it women
never had no bis’ness ’bout ’em nohov.
You might just as well of told ’em thathe
was a blooded hoss and that yer husband
was county sheriff, and got $100 of good,
honest money.”
Is This the Bomb Thrower.
Chicago, Sept. 16.—The rumor that
Schnaubelt has been located was traced to
H. F. Schaffer, an exconductor of the
Mexican Central railroad, who arrived here
from Mexico a day or two since. Schaffer
claims to have seen in the City of Mexico a
man corresponding exactly to the published
portraits of Schnaubelt, the supposed bomb
thrower. Schaffer says he was working as
a jeweler in a shop on the grand plaza. It
is repotted but not confirmed that the police
have communicated with the consul at the
City of Mexico and that Schnaubelt may be
already under arrest.
