The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1874-01-14

The HERALD boasts that Dallas is to
be the great railroad centre of Texas.
How can it make such assertions with
all the lights before it? That's too thin;
itwon't wash. When will THE HERALD
see the error ofits ways?-[ Fort Worth
Democrat.
Friend Paddock, for over twenty
years THE DALLAS HERALD has labored
to prove that Dallas would one day
become one of the most important, II
not the largest and most prosperous Of
the interior cities of Texas. Up to the
war she gradually improved and ex-
banded, without railroads, and with
only distant prospect of the Central
road approaching her. After the war,
and when matters became settled
down, Dallas took fresh start; the
Central road was pushed rapidly for
ward; emigrants from other States
came and saw our advantages, both
natural and in prospect of railroads;
the Central road reached our town in
the summer of 1872; the following
summer the Texas and Pacific was CON-
pleted to her limits, and to-day-we
assert it WITHOUT fear of contradiction
Dallas stands prominently the Queen
City of interiorTexas, in point of popu-
lation, business, enterprise, and all the
attributes that make up prosperous
place. The writer of this has seen her
grow up from little wayside hamlet
ola few hundred people to a city of ten
thousand inhabitants, with as bright
prospects in the future as any city OF
town In Texas. We have always had
faith in her growth and commercial
Importance; have labored long and
earnestly with little reward, in doing
our utmost to advance her interests
and with all our hopes and anticipa
tions, many saying that we drew toe
bright q picture of her future, tn,
reality has gone far beyond our expec
tations. We believed and said that il
fiveyears after the first railroad reache,
us We should have ten thousand people
less than half the time has passed, an,
We already have that number, and w
do not think We make too large an es
innate when we assert that within til

WE deeply regret to learn that the
heroic Lieutenant Hudson, United

loss, as well az TO the army, In which

DEATH OF THE REV. DR. DUTToN -
Rev. WARREN b. DUTToN, ID ID. died at
his residence in this place, at II o'clock,
=. NJ, Sept. 5'h, 1874, after brief illness.
For more than thirty years he had lived in
our community, very frail in body, but al.
ways active in doing good, relieving want
and councellipg the needy. For about TWEEN
,y-hve years he was the pastor Of the Pres
byrerisn Congregation, and no pastor could
receive larger measure Of love, admiration
aud gratitude than he received aud recip-
rocated. LII health at last made it necessa.
ry for him TO give up his charge here, in the
spring of 1866. After an interval of res,
he took charge of the church at Harper's
Ferry, but in consequence of injuries re-
ceived there from the flood in 1870, he was
obliged to abandon his active labors as min
lister. He IL wept and honored by tie two
congregations to whom he 80 long and so a.
bly, preached the everlasting gospel. He
was singularly modes. aud retiring, bu. his
intellect wa, uuusually powerful, his preach
ing marked By rare ability and uniformity
his counsel sought and distinguished for its
great wisdom.
He died quietly, as he bad lived, trust
ing in the righteousness of the Savior whom
he bad preached. - Gariestown Spirit of

s6c WE learn by private letter, received
by friend, that serious accident occurred
at New Greek on Wednesday morning last.
Ii appears that the Railroad Compspy's
hands had been engaged for some time in
removing an embankment preparatory to
laying foundation for the new round house,
and had undermined until large bulk of
earth and rock extended over their heads /;
on going to work on Wednesday morning
on account of moisture oecasioned by rain
the evening previous, the earth gave way,
and fell upon them, killing one man, Mr.,
BATES, of Piedmont, and seriously ipjur-
ing several others-ons of them being so
completely buried a. to leave only portion
of one hand visible.
