FLOUR, GRAIR AND HAY.

The receipts of wheat continued heavy
and offerings as liberal as heretofore. But
the prices bid were much lower than those
of Saturday. The market ruled variable
and unsettled till about the close when it
established itself pretty steadily at de-
cline of IOc. In this depreciation our mar
ket has followed those of the East and
West, which had gone down as much, in
many instances, and more in some.
In consequence Of this change, -four was
dull at quotations to-day, but ruled no
lower.
We quote the market as follows:

Hair whitened I'm n Night.

The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle Of
recent date says: Father Leck-
ner visited Ike Hooper, the con-
demned murderer, early yesterday
morning, and informed him of the
refusal of Governor Smith TO grant
executive clemency. Hooper was
at first much agitated, and trembled
like leaf shaken by the wind, but
soon became more composed, and
during the day seemed to have be
come more reconciled to his fate.
A remarkable fact in connection
with the case is an exemplitication
of the oit-told story that mems hair
some times turns white in a single
night. When Hooper was sentenced
by Judge Pottle, last month, his hair
was perfectly black. The morning
after the sentence was imposed, Mr..
Bridges, keeper of the jail, noticed,
on entering the condemned mans
cell, that portion of his head was
perfectly white. He Immediately
asked him where he obtained -four
TO put on his head. Hooper was
surprised and said he knew nothing
about it. Mr.. Bridges then went
up to him and discovered that a
large part of his hair Immediately
on the crown of the head had actu-
ally changed from a deep black to
a snowy white during the night
The agony Of a few hours had done
what years generally accomplish"

One of a troupe of minstroIs,
after playing piece of music, said
that it was his favorite-that he had
played it to the admiration Of large
audiences. Said he "On one oc-
casion my friends intended &c ex
press their appreciation of it b
showering flowers upon me. They
could not get the flowers, but got
eggs rs substitute. When l played
my piece the house was so crowded
that they could not hand them to
me--so they just threw them at me.
One Of them hit mo square on the
nosc--and III bet ten dollars that
the hen that laid that egg was not
in u healthy state"

THE PilGNIN PLANING MILLS.
An Extensive and CapaclOus Industry

While gently meandering the
boulevards of this growing young city,
yesterday, the reporter was struck, in
passing the Phoenix Planning mills,
with the air of thrift and industry that
seemed to pervade the premises. Step
ping inside, he was met by the genial
proprietor, Mr.. ID. Il. Grove, who
courteously showed him around.
The building proper is sixty by
sixty feet, and is filled with
the heaviest and best machin-
cry manufactured in the United
States, Everything is ample and COM
plete to execute every description of
work properly coming within its
sphere. The saving capacity of the
mills is about ten thousand feet per
day, while sixty thousand feet can be
easily planed, and thirty thousand
moulded. In addition to the present
machinery, Mr.. Grove will soon add to
his stock an automatic lathe for the
turning of spokes and felloes, having
entered into arrangements with several
manufacturers in the east to supply
them with bois dare spokes and irl-
loes to be used in the manufacture of
racing wagons and buggies. Mr. Grove
is putting the unapproachable,bois Dare
of our state to another use, having
for some time past been engaged in
turning walking canes out of this tim
ber, and has already made several i'm
portant and profitable sales to dealers
in New York, Cincinnati, Chicago,
Hot Springs and other places.
Mr.. Grove is most energetic busi-
ness man, and has fairly and honestly
won his present success. Commencing
business here two years ago with
man named Il. S. Gordon, he awoke
to the fact, in about three weeks, that
he had embarked in business with
scoundrel, Gordon having collected
nearly all the assets of the firm and
decamped. A year ago he associated in
business with himself Mr.. j. n. Watt,
eX-sheriff of McLennan county, and
was rapidly building up lucra-
tive trade when terrible fire visited
the city, on the 29th of October, and
utterly destroyed the mill and prop
erty.
Nothing daunted, heset Immediately
TO work, and in twenty-siX days from
the time of the fire, there arose on the
ruins the present extensive and capa-
cious establishment, which was apprO-
priately termed the "Ph9niX," and
which, THE HERALD trusts, will long
remain monument to the energy,
liberality and business thrift of its gen.
tlemanly proprietor, Mr.. ID. f. Grove.

chicken palace, and, besides young
thoroughbred yearlngs, II beautiful ma
tive short horn bull, thirty imported
COWS now In milk, besides II number Of
choice native cows, The establish
ment Is II perfect success.
Besides the foregoing facts, there
Is curiosity on the estate which we
would hesitate to mention, but for the
fact any and all who doubt its truth
can drive out only two miles and see
for themselves. This fact is, thot on
Colonel Dents premises there is n
pretty little heifer calf, only II year old,
which gives no indications of becom-
ing a mother, has for two months been
giving full flow of rich milk. She is
milked twice day, and yields about n
quart each time. Go and see fol your
selves.
MIR. IRELANDs fiat against the de-
mocracy of The HERALD and sundry
other papers in Texas, reminds us of
the time when Judge Munger was
about to pronounce sentence of death
on the murderer ShultZ, in Galveston
IA monster who had murdered seven
men in cold blood and poisoned his
own wife to DEATH He was then about
to be sentenced for numbering Bate
man and Jett, ten years before. When
questioned by Judge Munger as to what
he had to say, he solemnly protested
against his execution because his name
was wrong in the heindictment. Notwith-
standing that quibble, he being THE
MAN identified as THE MURDERER, he
was sentenced and duly hung. With
about as much reason can Mr.. Ireland
read out of the democratic party men
who have fought i'm its ranks ever
since before he ever saw TeXas-who
have never bartered off its rights or
principles, and who to-day strive to
keep its ermine clean of all stain. Mr..
Ireland is very foolish. Mr. Ireland
is very vain. Mr.. Ireland is mistaken
in the good sense of the people. Mr..
Ireland had better localise his powers
to the region roundabout him, and
leave more distant parts to take care
of their own affairs, for of such is JEFF
fersonian democracy.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.

From a private letter received from
Liberty, Liberty county, Texas, THE
HERALD is placed in possession of the
facts of most terrible affair which oc-
cured there recently. On the night
of the lst instant, II difficulty occurred
between the family of a man named
Aznot Lacours, OH one side, and two
brothers named Fortiers and II man
named Ludolph Gillard, on the other.
During the difficulty Aznot Lacours re-
ceived u severe cut in his arm, while
his son, Archie, was shot through the
heart and instantly killed. The two
Fortiers and Gillard were arrested by
the sheriff, and while in charge of the
guard, on the night of the 3D. in
stant, in a room at the hotel,
a body of masked men entered the
room, made the guards leave, and shot
to death the three prisoners. The wife
of one of the murdered men was in the
room during the shooting, but says she
did not know the murderers.
The writer of the letter describes the
scene as being most horrible, the
head of one of the victims being blown
entirely from his body.
No clew has been obtained as to who
the murderers were or whittier they
went. The authorities of Liberty owe
it to themselves to leave no means un-
tried to ferret out the perpetrators of the
dastardly outrage, and hand them over
to the avenging power of the law,
which they have so terribly outraged.
