reparations for the llendricks Obsequies—The
President Will Not AttendYellon Fever at
Galmton—Other Happenings Sunday.
IN GENERAL.
Washington, November 29.—President
Cleveland this afternoon determined not to
make the trip to Indianapolis to attend Vice
President Hendricks’ funeral. To a newspaper
reporter, the president said: “I am
reminded by some of the best and most patriotic
and thoughtful of our citizens that the
real and solemn duties of my office are at the
national capitol, and that in the present pecuiiar
and delicate situation, I ought not to
take even the remotest chance of an accident,
incident to travel, to gratify a sentiment so
general and so characteristic as that involved
in this subject. I have been profoundly impressed
by tnese considerations, but most of
all influenced by their strong and unanimous
presentation by the several friends of the late
vice president, living in his state and city,
their endorsement by the noble and patriotic
woman, who, in the infinite sorrow of her
widowhood, reflects the spirit and character
of her honored husband, in her solicitude for
the public good.”
Indianapolis, Nov. 29.—The first step
toward the obsequies of VicePresident Htndricks
occurred today. At 10 o’clock, the
hour announced for the removal of the body
to the court house, a large crowd of people
had assembled in front. The casket was
placed in the hearse, and, with slow and
measured tread and melancholy strains of
music, the procession moved at 11:15 o’clock.
The streets along the route were filled with
people, while from doors and windows faces
innumerable were seen. The catafalque
was in the center of the main corridor of the
court, at the point where three entrances
converge. It was built upon a platform
raised a foot above the floor. The canopy
was very elaborate and the floral
designs were very handsome. The
casket was guarded by soldiers.
From It 145 a. m. to 5 in the afternoon not
less than twenty thousand people passed
through before 6 o’clock. The crowd is very
large tonight. The remains will remain
at the court house until 5
o’clock tomorrow evening, when they
will be returned to the residence, from which
the funeral occurs at 12 o’clock noon Tuesday.
A floral design representing the log
cabin in which Mr. Hendricks was born has
been purchased by the citizens of Shelbyville,
his old home, and will arrive tomorrow.
THE STATE.
Dallas November 29.—The trade between
the Herald and News has been consummated.
The publication of the Herald
will be discontinued, tomorrow’s issue of
that paper being its last. The News takes
the Herald’s subscription lists and other
business. The news of the sale was quietly
received by the public, as it was not unanticipated.
Some feelings of regret are expressed
that the Herald had to succumb, but
the general sentiment is rather of indifference.
Galveston, November 29.—The steamship
Harlan, from Vera Cruz, which touched
here last Thursday, en route to Brashear
City, landed among other passengers two
young men, Hiram Morrow and Charles E.
Padget, residents of El Paso, Tex. On their
arrival they proceeded to one of the prominent
hotels, occupying the same room. Both
complained of feeling unwell, but laid their
sickness to the rough sea voyage. It aeveloped
yesterday that both were suffering from
a mild attack of yellow fever, contracted,
douhtless in Vera Cruz. They were removed
at an early hour this morning to a locality
some distance from the city.

Nearly a Case ot JailBreaking.
Harry Wayne, charged with stealing a
horse, and Jim Burkett, an alleged swindler,
came very near escaping from the county jail
last night. They were in what is the
strongest of the two cages. At one end of
the corridor, in front of this cage, stood a
large tub and a bench. When guard Sam
Whaley ordered the inmates of the cage into
the cells last night, Wayne and Burkett
crouched down behind this tub and bench
and were not locked in, as they escaped the
guard’s notice. Later in the evening Mr.
Whaley had occasion to reenter the corridor,
and Wayne sprang past him in an instant.
Burkett tried to do so, but Whaley
overpowered and locked him up. The
jailor, Tom Stephens, was in a lower room
and heard the racket. He reached the stairway
that leads from the prison, Winchester
rifle in hand, just in time to stop Wayne.
The episode will be worth a hundred dollars,
in the way of experience, to Sam Whaley.
THE COURTS.
Happenings in the Various Tribunals ToDay.
In the police court A. J Bird, Pat Nolen,
T. S. .Turner, S. Watson, Joe Young and N.
S. Oslind, drunk, were fined from $2 to $3
each; John Dowd,off nsive language, $2.50;
J. W. Stewart, leaving team unhitched, $i;
H. McHugh, blocking sidewalk, $1; Sam
Smith, offensive conduct, $1; J. M. Zelner,
carrying a pistol, $30.
In the district court Judge.Rimes took up
the motion docket this morning, entering
several orders. The case of Ned Hayes,
charged with assault with intent to murder,
was then taken up and is now on trial.
This is Justice R. W. Davis’ regular civil
term day. Four minor cases were disposed
of, several cases set for trial and judgment
by default taken in a number of cases.
Criminal Notes and News.
The trial of Geo. W. Smith is docketed in
he district court for tomorrow. Emotionat
insanity will probably be the defence.
There are many who believe George
Walker will do his best for Tom Varnell, by
deposing that he (Walker) fired the shot
that killed old man Jonas Land. This is
only supposition, though.
Two men giving the names of Pardee and
Davis were arrested late Saturday evening,
charged with running a lottery or gambling
game. They each paid a fine and costs and
were thereupon discharged from custody.
James A. Hamilton, sentenced to five
years at the Chester, 111., penitentiary, and
John Drake, charged with the Brownwood
Cisco stage robbery, were taken to Dallas
yesterday. Drake will be tried in the U. S.
court at Graham. The two were handcuffed
together and Hamilton was the personification
of dejection as he sat in the waiting
room at the depot.
Richly Remunerated lor Their Services.
An order, issued by Judge Don A. Pardee,
U. S. circuit court, was spread on the
clerk’s books Saturday evening, fixing the
following compensation, for the following
persons and firms, on account of services
rendered to the Texas and St. Louis railway,
since it went under a receivership: W.
R. Woodward, exreceiver, at the rate of
36,000per annum; S. W. Fordyce, (this will
probably be made larger) present receiver,
$6,000 per annum; J. M. McCormick, master
in chancery, $10,000per annum; Phillips
& Stewart, of St. Louis, (legal counsel),
$25,000, in full compensation; Butler, Stillman
& Hubbard, of New York, (the trustee
in the suit) $5,000. These sums are to
be preferred claims out of the proceeds of the
sale of the road, at Tyler, tomorrow.
A Galyeston Critic on Adelaide Moore.
Galveston News.
“The principal role of Lady Teazle, the
wife of Sir Peter Teazle, was of course
essayed by Miss Moore, who gives a creation
of the character essentially original, and
which sparkled under her very talented conception
of the difficult requirements. * *
Miss Moore pays more attention to the
dressing of her character than any actress
who has visited Galveston for years past.
Her costumes are superb, costly and elegant,
and cannot but attract the admiration of con
noisseurs in dress.” Miss Moore appears
in this play at the McClelland opera house
tomorrow night.
—The entertainment for the benefit of the
building fund of the New Hope Baptist church
on North Sixth street, colored, closed Saturday
night. The sum of $225 was realized,
which is quite creditable, considering
that inclement weather prevailed nearly all
the time during the three days. Since the
foregoing line! were written it is learned
that the closing entertainment will be given
tonight, it being decided to prolong it one
night more.
—It was a good joke on a trio of policemen—
how the flutterings of an escaped quail,
in Gus Davidson’s lesfaurant the other night,
excited them. The laugh was on the cops.

THE TERM ENDED.
Closing Proceedings in the U. S. Courts.
Judge McCormick closed the term of the
U. S. district court Saturday night, signing
the minutes yesterday afternoon. The closing
proceedings were as follows; In the
suit of Hudson vs. Ayers, from Falls county,
trespass to try title, involving land worth
$75,000, the jury rendered a verdict for defendant
and judgement thereon. On motion
anew trial was granted. A new trial was also
granted the young man McCarty, charged
with passing a counterfeit coin, purporting to
be a $10 gold piece. McCarty was intoxicated
at the time and it is not probable he
will have greater punishment than a small
fine. Four young fellows from Robertson
county, charged with impeding the transmission
of the U. S. mails, got a lecture and
were fined $1 and costs each, footing up a total
of $140 for the four. They were on a
“high lonesome,” and while having a rumpus
with a porter on the Central railroad
train, delayed the train a few minutes at
Bremond. James A. Hamilton, exassistant
postmaster at McGregor, was sentenced to
five years penal servitude at Chester,III.,and
a fine of $2,542. Hamilton said he didn’t
have a fair [trial, but the general opinion is
that he got off rather light. The accounts
of exU. S. marshal James A. McKee were
approved. Clerk Finks paid out as jurors’
fees, during the term of court, the , sum of
$1,246 90; witnesses’ fees, $1,490.30. The
total expenses of the term will probably
reach $4,500. Marshal Cabell and district
attorney Pearre, who served their first term,
won commendation on all hands, save, perhaps,
in the case of the criminals
with whom attorney Pearre had to
deal. As for Judge McCormick, clerk
Finks, his assistant, Hal Renick, and the,
deputy marshals, they fully sustained the
esteem in which they have always been held.
The lawyers from New York, St. Louis,
and other cities, were especially Jloud in
their praise of Judge McCormick’s able and
impartial rulings, and courteous, dignified
demeanor.
THAT GARNISHMENT.
Messrs. Loving & Swanson Tell how Mr. Ker
Treated Them.
An item appeared in The Dav Saturday
about Mr. E. Ker garnishing the cky of
Waco for $145, ostensibly to collect a debt
for that amount due him by Loving & Swanson.
The latter gentlemen inform The Day
that they had tendered payment to Mr. Ker
before they had any intimation he proposed
to proceed in the matter as he did. They
were referred to his attorney, Mr. Eugene
Williams, who could not take time to attend
to the matter at once, and the next thing they
knew they were served with the papers in
the case. They went to Justice Davis’ office
at once and paid the claim. They say Mr.
Ker had never asked for payment but once—
about two weeks ago—and as they were at
the time in the midst of heavy contracts they
asked him to wait^a couple of weeks, which
he seemed willing to do. They were further
warranted in thus asking, they say, because
the firm of Ker & Chambers owed them about
$100. The Dav does not suppose that the
fact of the garnishment impairs Loving &
Swanson’s credit or financial standing, as
they are known to be prompt and solvent.
The item was published chiefly because of
the novelty of the suit—garnishing the city.
This further mention of the matter is made
voluntarily and unsolicited, as a simple act
of justice to Loving & Swanson.
Brought to Waco tor Burial.
Undertaker Martin was at the depot yest.
rday, when the 4:05 Missouri Pacific train
from Temple came in, to receive the remains
of Charles, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. S. A.
Elkins, of Temple, who died Saturday afternoon.
The sorrowing parents were also on
the train and were met by a number of sympathizing
friends. From the depot the remains
were taken at once to Oakwood,where
the interment took place.
Coke, aged 13 years, son of Dr. and Mrs.
D. R. Wallace, died at Terrell, Texas, at I
o’clock yesterday morning. The funeral took
place at 3 p. m., today,from the residence
of Mr. Wm. Breustedt, on Austin avenue,
the interment being in Oakwood.
At the Churches Yesterday.
The sun shone bright yesterday, the air
was crisp, the streets measurably dry, and
people turned out in large numbers to the
several churches. There were no special
Services save at the Catholic church, where
Father Badelon preached on “The Duty of
Thankfulness,” and at Trinity M. E. church,
at night, where Mr. Horner gave up his
pulpit to Rev. J. Nelson, who preached to
Scandinavians. At St. Paul’s church (Episopal)
it was the first Sunday in Advent.
Dr. Burleson and a large number of young
ladies from Waco University, attended this
church. The rector gave notice that the

visitation, on the 20th proximo.

A Connecticut man recently paid a dentist
twentyfive cents for pulling a tooth

man a long time to smother his vengeful
feelings.
Cocaine Declared to be a Poison.
At a meeting of the New York Medico
Legal society, various speakers declared that
cocaine is a poison and should be so labeled
and sold. Prof. Doremus knew a weman
who was poisoned to death by cocaine used
on an aching tooth. Dr. Holcomb said he
had heard that a fatal case of cocaine had
occurred in one of the city hospitals within
two or three days. It would be of value to
hear from Dr. Douglass on the result ot his
experience of applying nearly every day for
many months cocaine to Gen. Grant’s throat.
A friend of his from Peru told him that in
that country, where people have the cocaine
habit and where they keep up on it for days
without food, deaths were not uncommon.

A Texas doctor gives the Medical Bulletin
an account of [he ease with which doctors are
made in that state. He took a sixhour ride
with a Texas villager, who asked him a great
many questions about the remedies used for

On the following week he had occasion to
visit a neighboring village, where he found
his recent companion with his shingle out as
a fullfledged doctor. He had graduated in
that sixmile ride.
