will case was decided to-day in circuit by

SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT..

Some two or three years ago Mr.. q.
W. G. Ferris, an energetic citizen of this
town. conceived the idea Of trying the
experiment Of shipping forest and other
trees from the East and transplanting
them here. His first shipment was car
load from Illinois and we think some
from New York, consisting of beech, soft
and hard maple, hickory, chestnut, bl- TX
walnut, elm and some other fort an. u
large number and variety of fruit trees.
OF the forest species he has sold many
that are doing splendid where they have
had fair trial, but those he retained he
has given such care as the particular
species require, and they seem to do bet
ter and grow more thrifty than in their
own country. Mr.. f. has splendid
nursery containing many thousand fruit,
shade and forest trees, all shipped from
the East, some are raised from seeds
from the same source, and the success
full raising of these trees has ceased to be
an experiment with him and is reduced
to an absolute success.

WAS TT AN ATTEMPTED SUICIDE

On Sunday Peter McAvOy saw man climb on

there found a brsss-bound purse. He examined
it, and found that it contained three checks on

yesterday that Caffall has lately shown
symptoms of insanity. Some weeks since
he had an attack Of epilepsy or apoplexy;
and we understand he has not been well
since. He has been a very industrious,
hard working man, and has merited

may be restored. .l -a.-

Too LARGE DosE.-Yesterday Hank
Lufkins being somewhat under the
weather, applied to DR.. Luce for medical
treatment. Eve give Doctors side of
the story.) The Doctor gave him pre-
scription and told him to take a certain
quantity four times day, and sent him
into Dr. Colton's drug store where the
prescription was pat up, but as no direc-
tons accompanied it, none was put on
the bottle. Hank took the bottle away
and took good swallow, and shortly af
terward became paralized, and but for
timely assistance would have died. The
medicine was a deadly poison if taken in
too large doses, but as We understand
the matter good medicine if taken in
proper quantities, There was undoubt-
edly mistake somewhere, but where We
do not attempt to say. We understand
that Lufkins is better and that he insists
that the dose ordered was q good swallow.
Would it not be safer for physicians to
always put directions on their prescrip
tions to avoid mistakes of this kind.

I'VE Mean Business"

As indicated lew weeks ago, we arc
making preparations TO publish Daily,
or Tri-Weekly HERALD. We find it neccs-
sary to order new press and large
quantity of other material in order to car
ry ost our intentions completely, and we
may be delayed some six or eight weeks
in the reception of this material; but VIC
assure our friends that we arc making
every exertion to this end and when we do
start our new project we wish TO do so, on
sure basis, with all necessary material.
Our friends can be Of great assistance
to us in furthering this enterprise if they
will, by handing in their names to our
canva ssers rs subscribers to the "new is
sue" and indicating how much they desire
to see our effort successful. The publisher
has worked long, hard and faithfully to
build up the material interests of Dallas,
and he does not think that he is asking
too much of his old friends and patrons,
as we'll as of the substantial men who are
daily tocking to our city to become per-
manently identified with it, for some rs-
sistance, pecuniarily, at this time. Par
licularly would he beg of every one indebt-
od him TO come up promptly md pay their
indebtedness. This latter would be of the
greatest assistance to him,-were all to
pay up promptly what they owe, there
would be no difficulty in his going along
smoothly, without cramping himself or
asking aid from his friends. We desire to
make the HERALD the most complete es-
tablishment in Northern or Middle Texas,
and now is tie time for us to do it. We say,
then, to all our friends, lend us your assist.
ance by your ACTS as ,eeN as your council.

Another Fire,

Our city seems i'll fatcd in regard
to fires. Yesterday morning there
was another one of those conflagra-
tons which have boen source of
so much injury to our rapidly grow
ing city. About 81 o'clock, fire
broke out in the Kitchen of Mrs.
Pruitt, and in u short time destroy
ed the warehouse of S. w. Stone,
the boarding house of Mrs. Pruitt,
and small building by the side Of
these. Tho.frst named buildings
were the property of S. w, Stone.
In the warehouse thcro were large
numbers of stoves and other
wares. He was insured for Sl5,-
600 as follows: Anchor, of st.
Lonis, s2,500; Texas Banking and
Insurance Company, Galveston,
$4,000. This was on the stoves.
On tho house, Galveston Insurance
Company, s2,5O0; Franklin Fire
Company, Galveston, $4,000; Etna,
81, 800. Mrs Pruitt had an insur-
ance on her furniture of S1,875, as
follows: North British and Nor
camille, 81, ,125; Etna, $3.50. How
tho fire originated, we have no
means of knowing, nor do we know
the amount of Mrs. Pruitt's loss.
That estimable lady wo trust will
at once rent another house, = sumo
business, and be so literally sus-
tainod that she will be soon in a
better condition pecuniarily than
she was before.
Tho fire companies are entitled
to special concentrations. They
worked with zeal and efficiency
that we have never seen surpassed
if eqaalled since their organization.
If there had been plenty water con-
venient we feel confident that the
fire would have madc but little
Roadway; and when we take into
consideration that tho buildings
were frame, tho suscess of the COM
panies was astonishing. On the
hill large reservoirs of water should
be made; while in the lower part of
the city, the wells and pumps of
Messrs. Boney & Brooks and Mr..
w. ]. Scdbcrry show that every
building in the active business part
of the city can have a well and
pump at a little cost.-Jeferson

PosITIoN OF THE New York DEM
ocRAcY.-Tho position of the New
York delegates TO the Baltimore Con-
vcntion is said to be this: If the
reform movement develops such
strength, before July as to lead TO
the hope that with the Democratic
vote, Greedy and Brown could be
elected, the Now York delegates
will vote solid in convention to rat
ify the nomination of Greely and
Brown, but if the republican re-
formers develop no strength be-
twcen now and the meeting of the
Democratic Convention, New York
will vote for a regular Democratic
nomination, even with the Gel tainty
of his being defeated. This is on
the principle that if the Democratic
vote must be thrown away on any
body, it is better TO throw it away
on a regular Democratic nominee
than on Mr.. Greely.

Gazed upon spendors far brighter than these
Saw tho calm shine of the waters of Death,

Looked ON the holy ones walking in white,
