The Bessemer Steel Monopoly Broken—A Useful Tree m Georgia—Alexander of Bulgaria to Find Refuge in England—Russia and China Settle Their Difficulties. Newspaper Comment. Associated Press. St. Petersburg, September io—The Novoe Vremya says: “Of all the signers of the Berlin treaty, England alone appears inclined to oppose Russia’s Bulgarian policy. Russia must know whether England’s intentions are serious, in order to prepare herself to take measures accordingly, as Russia will not be brought to a standstill by England’s veto.” The Journal de St. Petersburg says : Alexander’s proclamation of departure contains mention of alleged Russian assurances given to him. For reasons useless to discuss, Russia could, not make any engagement with Alexander. In view, however, of a party struggle in Buigaria and agitation of the public mind which tjie proclamation has produced, the Russian agent in Bulgaria will be instructed to inform the Bulgarian people that Russia is disposed to exert her influence to establish party concord and restore quiet. Russia will not withhold her support from any legally constituted provisional government, guided by nonpartisan interests and conducted for the general welfare. Russia is willing to apply herself to the task of removing dissensions front painful conferences, by which Bulgaria has already suffered too much. Russia hopes the Bulgarian nation and her representatives will be [able to appreciate the counsels and act accordingly. »<> There Was a Convenient Tree. Associated Press.

AND MRS _ FRANCIS R. STARR LAST NIGHT. A Happy and Brilliant Commemoration of the Marriage Ceremony of TwentyFive Years Ago—The Community Joins in Honoring an Estimable Couple. They have nearly reached the time when the meridian of life will give way to the evening, and looking back over the past we dare say it is a retrospect of days that were but the promise of the days which, let us hope, are to crown thqir declining years. On the part of those who know them there is but one sentiment, and that is that their later years may be long in the land, years of happiness, peace and contentment—an indice to the peace and happiness that will come, some day, when the fitful phases of this life are over.

Monday Sheriff McGuire received a telegram giving him a description of an escaped comfoct and requesting that he search the west bound passenger train for the fleeing criminal. Deputy John Simpson was detailed for the work and when the train arrived here he boarded it and instituted a search. A man was seen to go into the sleeper after the train was stopped and Mr. Simpson inquired of the conductor who he was. Being unable to ascertain from that source, he went into the sleeper and there sat, as he supposed, his Iman. The passenger answered the description and Mr. Simpson made “no bones” about going up to him and demanding where he was from, where he.was going and what his name was. The answer came as follow: “I am from Washington, going to Ruston and ray name is J. Floyd King.” Mr. Simpson was a little set back, but he thought perhaps the passenger was using the name of our distinguished representative as an alias, and was trying to play a trick upon him, so he again referred to his telegram and discovered that the escaped convict limped when he walked. This information was imparted to General King with a request that he take a promenade up and down the aisle of the car. This the general goodhumoredly complied with, at the same time proving his identity. The mdefatigable deputy thereupon acknowledged his mistake and was profuse in apologies, which were graciously accepted. Down, Down, It Goes—Royal Patent Flour.

Even the clerk of the weather seemed to put on his most propitious mood last evening to do honor to the silver wedding of Rector Francis R. Starr and his wife, Mrs. Sarah E. (nee Ward) Starr. The rain predicted in the weather bulletins did not come and a nearly full moon sent down a flood of silvery light upon one of .the most enjoyable scenes ever witnessed in Waco. Hundreds of people, ladies* gentlemen and children, thronged the beautiful church yard and roamed at will through the church or over the lawn. The interior of the church was aglow with light and Japanese lanterns swung here and there over the lawn. The guests commenced gathering about 9 o’clock, and from that hour uutil eleven the stream of visitors was steady. Mr. and Mrs. Starr, with their children, were on the grounds early and received the congratulations of visitors as the latter came. The hand shaking must have wearied the estimable couple, but they endured it gracefully. For awhile during the evening, Mrs. E. A. Starr, a venerable lady, of Columbus Ga., was present. She is the mother of the rector, here on a visit to her son. She is in feeble health and by’her physician’s advice did not leave the carriage in which she was driven to the grounds. She said but little, but in her eyes there gleamed the light that betokened the mother’s just pride in the evidences of esteem and affection she saw lavished upon her son. Mr. Starr is chaplain of the Waco Light Infantry, and Capt. Waties marched the command to the grounds in full uniform. Mingled with the throng their showy dress added to the brilliancy of the scene. As The Day intimated, in its anticipatory article yesterday, the rector and his wife were the recipients of numerous tokens of the esteem of parishioners and friends who are not parishioners. The list is as follows: Filigree silver breastpin and earrings, from Mrs. S. W. Slayden and Miss Slayden; large silver ladle, from Senator S. B. Maxey and Mrs. Maxey; Burmese pitcher, from Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Endley; card receiver of silver, from Mr. and Mrs. Z. F. Beasley; set of silver teaspoons in plush tray, from Mrs. Geo.

Blair; berry bowl, in silver frame and handle, Mr. and Mrs. Jas, Dugelby; silver pickle stand, from Rev. Horace Bishop and Mrs. Bishop; dress suit of black to the rector from the gentlemen of St. Paul’s congregation; black silk dress to Mrs. Starr, from the Ladies’ Guild; silver service from the ladies of St. Paul’s; heavy silver tray, from the Waco Light Infantry to their chaplain, the rector: silver gravy spoon from Miss Hattie C.

Motz, Lucy Edna Gurley and Lilian Elgin Gurley; silver teacup and saucer, from Miss Effie Eaton; purse of fiftysix bright silver dollars; large numbers of beautiful bouquets, from Sunday school children; beautiful cakes, confectionery, etc., by the ladies. There was no formality about the occasion. Everybody was free to sit down or promenade, and during the evening the ladies of the guild served ices and other refreshments, the little girls of St. Paul’s Sunday school volunteering their services as waiters. It was an event of joy and good cheer, such as is rarely seen. Mr. and Mrs. Starr were married, as has been stated, in the Emmanuel church, Athens, Ga., on September 9th, 1861. • No doubt they have seen, like everybody else, days when there were more of the clouds than the sunshine of life. But in the main the quarter of a century they have passed together has been a happy period for them. Children have come to them and are with them yet, and love and devotion have sat enshrined on their hearthstone. STATE NEWS. Convicted of Manslaughter—An Encounter With a Yellow Jacket. San Antonio, September .7.—Hiram Pullain and Deputy Sheriff Jack Dailey, who were wounded in the election fight at Daileyville on Monday, both died yesterday morning.

Her suffering is described to be most excruciating, and the swelling did not begin to subside until this moming. The girl is now out of danger. Tucson, A. T., September 9.—The democratic territorial convention nominated Marcus A. Smith, of Tombstone, for delegate to congress and Chas. M. Strauss for superintendent of schools. The platform is highly eulogistic of President Cleveland, Secretary Lamar, Governor Zulick and General Miles, and demands limited coinage of silver. Paris, September 9.—The Journal des Debats says it has information that Count d’ Aubigny has been appointed French minister to Egypt, to combat English influence in the khedive’s dominions. Truth Tersely Told. Brenham Banner, Terrell has been posing before rural audiences as an antimonopolist and opponent of corporations. He has been telling the farmers how railroads have ruined them. Terrell has has been advocating doctrines bordering on communism. He has been trying to make farmers and workingmen believe that they are oppressed by capitalists, and he would have the people divide into classes and array one class against another. All kinds of people are necessary in this country and all are mutually dependent upon each other. Politically, there are no distinctions; one citizen is no better than another. It is only the demagogue that appeals to class prejudices, and who advocates class legislation.
