THE following extract from the re-
port of the grand jury of Collin county
startles us with its alarming intelli-
gence. We occupy Uhree-story brick
building, but this is the first informa'
ton we have had that it is in dan
gerous condition. What fools, to be
sure, the men of Dallas, who are build
ing costly brick houses, must beat
least in the Judgment of tine grand
jurors of Collin county. We clip from
the Enquirer
We, the undersigned members of the
grand jury, do, singly and collectively,
enter our solemn protest against the
erection of the Collin county court house
of the material now proposed by our
county court, viz: Denison or Sherman
brick
We further assert that our expert
ence in all the buildings erected of
brick made from Texas soil in the
towns and cities of northern Texas,
show conclusively TO us that the mate
rial is 10y no means durable in build
ings, as the houses of Dallas, Sherman,
Fort Worth and Bonham, and many
other places show that one and all of
them have become dangerous, and In
many instances have been removed as
dangerous edilices, and those now
standing are in II dilapidated and dan
gerous condition from the cracked and
breaking condition of the walls.

Foreman of Grand Jury.

10 the Honorable George II. Williams, At

We, the undersigned, northern men,
now citizens of Madison county, state

republican aud some to the democratic
parties, earnestly protest against the
lruthmlncss Ofthe reports recently for.
warded toyou byH. Il. Thomas, United
States marshal forthe northern district
of Alabama. We nre constrained to
believe they were made solely for POI
lltical purposes, and to injure this com
munity abroad. We live in various
parts of the county, and this statement
contains the individual knowledge OF
each of ny. We know thnt no disturb
nnces of the kiud mentioned by Mr.
Thomas could have transpired without
that fact being known to some one
of us. We state that no sucl
disturbances are within our knowl-
edge, and we are sure that none suci
have occurred. We know that repub
lican meetings, both night and day
have been held all over this county
during the pending political canvass
and no disturbances nor attempt al
disturbances has occurred mt any one
of them. We are property holders
and feel deeply interested in the wei
fare of the county. Some of us takear
active Interest In politics, aud we feel
as safe in doing SO, both in our person
and property, rs If we lived IN Massa'
chusetts or New York, We have nt
objections to the presence of federal
troops in our midst -they are gener-
ally well. behaved and orderly, and al
ways bring money into the country
but the impression sought to be con
veyed, by Mr.. Thomas, that their pres
ence is necessary to protect republicans
from insult or danger, in the express
sion of their opinions or the exercise
Ct their privileges, is u libel upon the
community, and Mr.. Thomas shoulc
either be required to support them by
proof or he should be removed from
office rs unworthy Of trust.

We believe The convention, when
called TO frame u upW constitution,
ought, primarily, TO provide for the
election of every state, district county
aud precinct officer, from the governor
down to n justice of the peace. We
believe that every officer In the state,
without n solitary exception, ought to
be elected by the people. We do moi
believe in the right Of appointment of
II solitary official. Let's have no more
appointment of supreme court, attor-
neg general of secretary of state, of
district judges, of even precinct con-
stables. 1t is n cardinal principle OF
democracy that every agent of the
people in any department. soever,
should he directly selected by them.
Let all official patronage be removed
and swept away.

a REGULAR old fashioned fist fight
took place on the square one evening
this week. II does ones heart good TO
witness one of those good old fashioned
rough and tumble fights, after having
spent years in the art of fighting with

his carcass riddled with bullets or cut
into sausage meat with bowie knives.

This morning Mrs. Catherine Kempf,
wife Of Henry Kempf, poisoned herself
and died in a few seconds Feeling
badly, she asked her husband if she
should not take dose of quinine BE
replied affirmatively, and went out Of his
dwelling into his grocery store to wait on
some customer. He went back in about
thirty minutes and, to his horror, found
his wife lying dead on the bed. Giving
the alarm, neighbor rushed in and
asked him If his wife had taken any
thing. He replied that she said she
was going to take dose of quinine
The neighbor walked over to a small
table which stood behind the door, and
picking up small bottle containing a
white powder, found the bottle labeled
"Strychnine." MY Godl" exclaimed
the neighbor, she has taken poison in.
stead of quinine" And so it proved.
The unfortunate lady had made mis-
take in the bottles and had mixed the
deadly poison with milk and drank it.
The dose must have been FIVE or ten
grains, as death ensued almost instantly.
The strychnine had been kept in the
house for the purpose of poisoning rats
and was placed near the quinine bottle.
