Hooded stock Association.

The association, as will be seen by q
notice in another column, are going
into business in earnest. A committee
has been appointed to secure reduced
rates for visions to the June races, and
the probabilities are that they will
make such favorable arrangements as
will insure a large attendance from all
parts of the state and country. The
amount of the purses will exceed those
offered at either Galveston or Houston,
and will undoubtedly create favor
able impression among owners of fine
stock all over the country. Our cit
liens owe it to themselves to see that
the committee to solicit subscriptions
to the purses for the June races are
met with encouragement and substan-
tial aid.

llavoring extracts the characteristic
taste and freshness of the real
fruit is preserved and by his process so
highly concentrated that but q small
quantity is required to impart their
peculiar flavor to any article in which
they may be used. Ladies that wish

A Councilman Explains.

To the Editor of the Dallas Herald
In answer to the card of Captain w.
NJ. johnson, in this mornings edition
of your paper, allow one of the council
to state that the finance committee
could have intended no discrimination
against Captain Johnson (whose elf
cheney is highly appreciated by them,
as by the greater mass of our business
men and oDservant citizens), and it is
probable that the figures at which the
committee placed Captain Us salary
were based upon an over-estimate ofthe
fees accruing to the Office of the city
surveyor outside of his pay by the
city. The motto of the entire coun-
ell "is equitable compensation for
services rendered, and no more" Cap
tain j. only need to place the proper
data before the council to insure JUS
tice in the matter of salary.

notice an error in this mornings
paper in the report of the proceedings
of the criminal court, which, uninten-
tionally know, does injustice to his
honor, Mayor Cabell, in this, which
states, the following appeals were de-
termined, thus reversing the decision
of Mayor Cabell. | say that there was
no judgment or decision of Mayor
Cabell reversed at all. The Ranahan
case went offupon an exception taken
in Judge Hare's court not taken below,
andse-vice neverpassed upon by Mayor
Cabell. In the other cases, Kingdoms
case the appeal was dismissed and a
procedure directed to Mayor C. to
carry out the judgment of the court.
The Doyle and Johnson cases were set
tied long before court by the payment
of all costs and fines ami was dismiss
ed to get them off the docket. The
case of Hoflstadt was dismissed be-
cause the only witness against him
had left the city long ago, and the case
could not be sustained. The case against
James Il. Barkley and Clifton Scott
had been prosecuted several times, and
resulting in hung juries, was dismissed
because l could not see the use of GO

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.

From n private letter received from

facts Of most terrible affair which oe-

OF the LIST instant, n difficulty occurred
between the family of man named
A2nOt Luconrs, ON one side, and two
brothers named Fortiers aud man
named LudOlph Gillard, on the other.
During the difficulty Azuot Lacours re-
celved u severe cut in his arm, while
his son, Archie, was shot through the
heart and instantly killed. The two
Forlcrs and tiillard We're arrested by
the sheriff, and while in charge of the
guard, on the night of the Sd in
slant, in u room ut the hotel,
u 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 rs 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 murdercrs were or whittier they
went. The authorities of Liberty owe
II to Themselves to leave no means un-
tried to ferret out the perpetrators ofthe
dastardly outrage, and hand them over
to the avenging power of the law,
which they have so terribly outraged.
