Waco, Texas, Ski'TEMhkm", 1SSS. At Lodi, 0., a young girl who was watching a ball game was struck by a ibul ball and instantly killed. At Re public, 0., a foul tip killed Henry 3.ickenieyer. The Savannah News says there isn't as much talk as there was in the Re pubheam camp about apathy among the Democrats. Why this partial ces sation? Are the Republicans so bad ly demoralized that all their time is taken up in trying to put on a bold front. In Duluth, Minn., on Saturday last, Gabriel Marillo died as a result of a singular accident. While working on the streets several days before he was struck in the face by a stream of water from a hydrant and his false teeth were knocked down his throat. He died from a hemorrhage followlgg their re moval. Keely, the Philadelphia motor man, is said to have invented an rerial ma chine, which, sad to say, is dependent n the famous machine upon which he has been working these many years. He had the air-ship finished and box ed up for a year, awaiting the time when he shall take out patents for his other motor. Several thousand operatives in the -cotton mills of Philadelpoia have eith er been thrown out of work during the past week or had their time and ' ivages reduced. Some firms now run ning on reduced time expect to shut down during the next few weeks. A leading manufacturer in that city, in an interview, said that he had not seen the cotton manufacturing business in that city poorer in forty-three years of his experience than it is now. Most of the mills, he said, had been obliged cither to discharge some of their op eratives and reduce working days or to shut down. He added ; "The cause I don't know. It is more than the stagnation incidental to a Presidential year, and politics can't account for it." There is on exhibition in the store of a Maiden Lane watch dealer in New York City the smallest watch, it is said, ever brougnt to America, The dial and works are just the size of a silver half dime. It is a 'complete watch in every respect, is a stem-win der and stem-setter, and the works are full-jeweled. It is enclosed in a hun- ting-case of iS-karate gold. The works are finally made and the watch keeps accurate time. It was made in La Claux-de-Fonds, Switzerland,- by a tvellknown manufacturer. Other small watches have been made for orna ments in seal rings, cane heads and the like, but these are said to be in complete in one or more parts, while the Chaux-de-Fonds is as perfect as can be made. In Newark, N. J., on Sunday night last, Max Groose, a young German watchmaker, whose mind is evidently unbalanced, suddenly seized his young infant three months old and attempted to dash it out of his wife's room, in ihe third story. The wife, a delicate little woman of twenty-four, sprang after her husband and succeeded in tearing the babe out of his arms. Then the lunatic turned upon her and forced her through the window with the child still in her arms. As he for ced his wife over the ledge of the win dow, he seized her by her feet, and she was so being held, head down, out of the window with the babe still clutch ed lightly in her arms, when she was discovered by passers by. An en , trance was made to the house by sev eral men who, on entering the maniac's room, seized him and the endangered wife at the same instant. As soon as she was pulled inside, the woman fainted, and it is feared her terrible experience may lead to aberation of the mind. Bartow on Jonoa. Col Bartow can't forget Waco no matter how far away he may be. He has still a hankering after his old po litical stamping ground, and, in the is sue of the Victoria Advocate of Sep tember the first, reviews the political aspects of the ninth Congressional District in his own pungent styler. In the article he outlines the probable Congressional Independent Candidate in the following racy style: It is now said that Col. E, A. Tones, a lawyer of acknowledged ability, a man of pure and spotless life and a gentleman above reproach in both his public and private character, has been selected to head the forces. We be lieve Col. Jones was an original old line whig, or at least, of old line whig origin, and last summer he was an ar dent prohibitionist. Put this last with the high tariff blood of his original political sentiments, and we have a competent explanation as to motive. But still add to it a lofty ambition, a nerve of steel and an eloquence equal to that of Mills himself, and we may be able to comprehend some of the immediate dangers which beset Mr. Mills' pathway to re-election. Col. Jones is a man above and out of reach of corruption himself personally they always choose this kind oilman in cases of this kind but there are thousands of the opposition in ithe district who would ask for no better or higher mo tive than pay in accomplishing the defeat of the paladin of tariff re form and personal liberty in Texas. The Congressional Convention. Steps are being taken to prepare for the congressional convention of the ninth district, which Chariman Geo. W. Tyler, of Bell county, has called to meet in this city on October i st. The district is composed of the counties of Navarro, Bell, McLennan, Washington, Burleson, Milam, Lime stone and Falls, and from letters re ceived from all of these counties it is learned that a large number of dele gates will be in attendance. As the re-nomination of Hon. Roger Q. Mills is a foregone conclusion the conven tion will be, in a measure, a ratifica tion meeting, and Us assembling will be an event of material importance. The County Democratic Committee, which meets here on the 15th, will take some steps to provide a place of meeting tor the convention as it is ex pected not less then 2500 visiting del egates will De present. It is also pro posed to have a barbecue, not of elaborate dimentions, but simply to furnish bread and meat to such as canntt et entertainment at the hotels and boarding houses. It is a matter in which the people of Waco and Mc Lennan county are interested and it should be taken in hand early to in sure success. m Aahby at Lorena. Editor Evening Kews : Yesterdav Mr. Stumn Ashbv snnke at Lorena. It had been given out by the Union .Labor people that Hon. Geo. Clark would answer him, and quite a crowd had assembled. Find ing it all a canard about Clark, gotten up to draw a crowd, the Democrats present requested Capt. Jack Elc;in to answer him. The Labor people had exhibited great eagerness to find a foreman for Ashby, but when Elgin signified his willness to meet him he spoke three hours and a half, until too late for reply. But the staunch Demo crats of Lorena were determined not to be out done, and announced speak ing for that night,when a fair audience assembled to hear Capt. Elgin, who gave them some sure enough labor reform talk dealinc larcelv in farts and figures, and presenting the tariff issue wun sucn iorce as to anve Ash by, in his reply, from his ridicule of traiff reform and to a dclaration for free trade; and an abandonment of national politics to state issues. His replication to Capt. Elgin beiag chiefly confined to the convict system and the chaining of a white woman convict to a negro in San Antonio, questions that had not been opened in the discussion in main. The Demo crats of Lorena seemed to be entirely satisfied with the result of the discus sion and feel no further dread of the apostle of Labor A Democrat. Jefferson lias been iu a fever of ex citement for the past two days over the prospects of the Chicago syndicate locating their iron furnaces there. The syndicate have bought very near 1000 acres of land below the city and bordering on the bayon, and are still making purchases. Aggie How did George propose to you?"
