A deadly personal feud in Texas has
just been abated by the death of one OF
the parties There were two doctors,
Mallette and Manning, practicing in the
neighborhood of Serbin. There were
professional jealousies between them,
and they hated each other as only pro-
fessional rivals can. Some months ago
they met, and, agreeing to have it out,
went to shop, slected each a butcher
knife and seeking an open place began a
deadly duel. They were separated be-
fore either was mortally wounded, each
vowiDg future vengeance They Tecov-
cred slowly from their wounds. Mann
ing's head had been almost severed from
his body, and during his recovery he be-
came fearfuily deformed, his head being
drawn by the cutting of the muscles out
of its natural position. He retired to
Bell CO., while convalescing, still nurs-
ing his wrath against Malette, who, upon
his part, was no more torgiving. No
sooner was Manning domiciled in his old
home than hisenemy sought him with q
gun. Manning, however, was ready foI
him, and SHOT him dead as soon as be
made his appearance. No Cofsican ven
dettas were ever more inplacable than
some ofthese quar1els in the South West
They indicate aphase of character with
which we,.in our part of the country, arc
unacquainted "a savage, animal brutali
| ty Of which we have very rare examples
although they are not entirely unknown
Even in Texas this form of human de
pravity is gradually disappearing, II
spite of climate, tradition and hard drink
| ing. Excellent influences are at work il
that State, and in time these brutalitie,
/ must disappear.

bonds.-It is announced that the Frank
fort committee for the protection of the
bondholders have declared dividend
of 7-1Oths per cent. on account of the
coupon due 1st October.
Oregon g. California-The committee
appointed at the meeting on 18th Sep
tember have issued a circular to the
bondholders, from which the following
is extracted:
According to recent statement OF
the president of the railway, its liabili-
ties were 81 sos, ,026; and be also STAT
ed that in 1873 the gross receipts were
$3.50, 1913, aud the net revenue $277,-
214; while in 1874 the gross receipts
were 1884, ,92O, the net revenue amount
irg to s187,813. This apperas not to
include any receipts from sale of lands,
which the committee believe to be val
liable. The amount required to pay
the interest ou the first mortgage land
grant bonds is s267 ,085. Up to last
January the company met its engage
mcnts on its bonded debt with regulari-
ty, but default was then made ON the
first mortgage bonds. The President
in March, asked the bondholders to
fund the coupons for four years and a
half. to enable him to pay off the float
ing debt. The committee think some
modification of this may prove advisable
but that 1T would be unwise for the
bonGholders at present to agree to it.
Under the terms of the mortgage it
would be necessary for very nearly all
the bondholders to concur before such a
scheme could be carried into effect.
They propose to receive the bonds OF
stlch holders as well as cooperate with
them, and to issue in excha nge negotia-
BILE receipts. As holders of the bonds
they will be able to act in the U. S. on
behalf of the bondholders. 1t will be
necessary to raise a fund for this purpose
and they ask for a subscription OF one
half per cent. on the nominal amount oi
the sums deposited is, 81 tor each
e20o or 81 900 bond-and an engage
ment to make further contributions, not
exceeding an additional il yer cent, as
may be necessary.

In Europe the workingman is the
mere slave of the plutocracy, not the
sovereign ruler, as he is, and should
continue to be, here. He has none of
the comforts, and very few of the liber-
ties, which his contemporaries are allow
ed in this land of freedom he is kept in
social subjection, and can never rise.
This will be the condition of the work
ingman in America if he allows himself
to be led astray by the specious argu-
ments of the Democratic party, the lea
ders of which have only self-aggrandize-
ment at heart. An inflated currency
and ffee-trade are the watchwords of
these quasi-philanthropists-th death
knell of the independence of the work
ingman.

Atelegram from New York datep

and William Reak, aged Is and II
years, have for two years led immoral
lives, and few months ago went from
home. Saturday they sent a letter to
their father, at 40 Ludlow street, to the
effect that detective Kealey knew where
Dick Reak and Louis were, and could
arrest them if the father would go to
800 Mulberry street. The letter pur-
ported to be signed by detective Kealy.
Mr.. Reak obeyed and as soon as he left
the house his SONS forced open the back
door, pulled pistols and dirk knives and
drove their brothers into another room,
where they locked them in. They then
seized their mother, land while Louis
held her aud pointed a pistol at her head,
William robbed her Of gold watch,
locket and chain and pocket-book I hey
then threatened to kill their brothers il
they attempted to prevent them from
escaping. They were arrested.

The Indianapolis Journal gives the
following incident: A terrible sequel
to an hours ammusement telling ghost
stories occurred at the surgical institute
not long since. A room full of young
la.lies, patients of the. institute, amused
and excited each other by stories of ter
rife apparitions, hobgoblins, ghosts, etc.
The gas had been turned out, either in
tentionally or ~ accident. In the
climax of vivid story one of the girls
shrew her shawl over trembling COM
rade. A little rustic and strange con-
duct was noticed. When light was
brought the fact was revealed that the
poor girl was insane. She has remained
so ever since, yet hopes are entertained
OF her recovery.

The terrible disaster in Virginia has
caused Temporary, at last, hardening of
the money market. Bankers seeing that
the stopping OF the flow of two or three
millions of bullion monthly for several
months would operate to tighten the
money market, have advanced their
rates, and banks have became more care
full and less accommodating Than ever.
Whether this will operate to keep down
the price of wheat, remains to be seen,
but we are rather inclined to think that
the advance in cereals that might have
been expected under an easy money
market, will not now be reached until
January or February, if then.

AT the annual meeting of the Bank
of California it was shown that the as
sets of the bank were $14, 900 900,
and the liabilities s1O,OO0,O0O. This
does ont include capital stock, which
is estimated at S., ,O0O, 900 more. With
a good year, it is claimed that most of
these assets will be realized. In any
event depositors and other creditors
will all be paid off, and there will be at
least 81, 1000, 900 to divide among stock
