Things were lively in East Dallas
Friday night, and II the thing is lust
kept up The HERALD will be COM
PEELED to add another memb to its
reportorial staff, whose talents shall
be exclusively devoted to the East
End of the city.
Policeman Dickey,Iwhile on duty,
was fired at by some bold scamp, who
took to his heels and escaped, not

A freight car was broken into on the
Central road, and number of boxes of
merchandise distracted, which the
thief or thieves succeeded in removing
without being discovered.
The Union depot was entered by
burglars, and tin box containing

was obtained by the daring rascals
who, embroidered of their success, will
doubtless continue their depredations.
Our citizens should be on their guard,

RErusLIcANs ~ COUNCIL,
They Meet, Resolve ana Counier.IIe.
sOiye,

IN accordance with the announce
ment made at their last meeting, the
Republicans Of this city met In mass
convention at the Courthouse last
evening,
Mr. ID. q. Venable was called to the
chair and Mr., w. j, Troy was selected
Secretary.
DR.. A. NJ, Cochran introduced the
following resolution, which, after con-
siderable debate, was adopted;
Rcs0icod IN ne Rcpubiicans N he
CW Qf DdHds, IN Convention assem-
bicd, That we deem IL ineXpedlent aud
impolitIc to make any nomination for
the ensuing municipal election, and
that we Withhold ourselves free aud un-
trammeled To support such candidates
az our Judgment may dictate, ire
spective Of party fealty.
The true meaning and intent Of the
resolution did not seem to strike II
number of those assembled until after
its adoption, and then began rum
ming, wrangling debate between
Messrs. Cochran, Porter. Mckay and
Schenck. The three latter opposed
the measure, aud contended that the
matter should be left open, so that, If
the opportunity presented ITSELF at the
eleventh hour, n Republican candidate
could be nominated aud slipped in.
DR.. Cochran favored an open-handed
war, and as the Republicans were in u
minority he opposed a nomination.
The matter was finally compromised
by the adoption Of the following
amendment;
This resolution shall not debar the
executive committee from calling u
convention If in their Judgment it shall
be deemed advisable.
On motion, the following names
We're added to the County Executive
Committee, to act as an Executive
Committee of the city:
First Ward-W. j. Troy, Mr.. Turley.
Second Ward-D, G.Venable, Joseph
Cotter.
Third Ward-A. b. Norton, William
Jordon.
Fourth Ward-C. +. Porter, j. II.
Johnston.
Speeches were made by Cromwell,
Wade and others, when the meeting
adjourned
Captain IL. l.. Ray was not present,
having been attacked with severe
hemorrhage, and the expected and
looked for speech was therefore not
delivered. The reporter learns that it
is Captain Rays intention to deliver
the speech at rs early day as his
health will permit.

A spirited Reply 10 "spirItuailst"-.-
A Little BANTER of $500.

MCKINNEY, February 90.
To the City Editor of the Dallas Herald:
Some ching" bearing semblance, |
suppose, to n man, and signing him
self "a Spirtualist,n has written you
a tedious eflusion, charging me with
all the sins of the race of Adam, and
has also the sublime eflrontery to ask
my agents or myself to reply to his
pile of personal abuse. Generally, |
do not notice such abortive attempts to
gain newspaper notorety, but as | am
n stranger, residents of Dallas not
knowing how frequently | am
called upon to meet such hang
dog a ttacks, may give some
weight to the frothy mouthings of this
imbecile disciple of crazy tables and
insane rope-tying. My honest (?)
friend says that | am guilty of crazy
declarations when say as | positively
do) that manifestations are produced
by trickery, although declared genuine
by Robert Dale Owen, Crookes, and
some other so-called scientific men.
Robert Dale Owen has written many
readable works, but his blind belief i'm
the consummate trickery of many So
called mediums has finally led to his
being incarcerated in a lunatic asylum.
Crookes is not far behind, and he him
self acknowledges that his scientific
training does not necessarily make him
an expert in detecting trickery. Now
to answer "Spiritualist's" questions:
First--I do assert that l can dupli-
cate all the tricks of Slade, Foster, and
all other mediums. can discount
them at their own tests, and then show
them to be imposters of the worst
kind.
Second-I can and will, at my pub
lie Entertainments, materialize human
bodies, faces, hands, etc., only asking
to be placed under the same test con-
ditions that are imposed upon Mrs.
Holmes, Anna Stewart and other me-
diums.
Third can and will do the hand
cuff trick of the Eddie Brothers, and |
defy Spiritualist, any sheriff, consta-
BILE, policeman or any one else, to
bring to my entertainment a pair of
'first-class handouts and mancles, to be
used upon me. l will not only rs.
move them from my person, but they
can he fastened upon me by COM
mittee chosen by the audience, and
defy the committee to say how they
were removed.
Fourth-Id do all this and much more,
and expose 1t all to my audiences and
thoroughly explain the absurd spiritual
theory. And now, to conclude, | will
pay five hundred dollars for any spirit
test that | cannot duplicate or explain,
for any medium / cannot expose il al
lowed to see their seances.
"Spiritualist" brands me an impos-
ter and humbug, and, in return, /
will !, on tomorrow evening, prove him
shallow pated fool and but one re-
move from a simple, glbbering idiot.
Yours truly, S. $. BALDWIN,
Spiritual Exposer.

A Social Event.

A rifle was caused in society circles,
yesterday, by the elopement and mar
rage of Mr.. IL. M. Morrow and Miss
Maggie Il. Coleman. The parties are
well known in Dallas and have been
long betrothed, having first met and
loved in their old East Tennessee
home. The mother of the bride OPP
posed the match, but lovers plead
ing overcome maternal objections, and
the young lady quietly slipped from
under the surveillance that had been
placed over her and was united to the
husband of her choice, at eight o'clock
yesterday morning, at the residenc, of
Captain j. A. Work.
The HERALD extends to the young
couple its congratulations, and trusts
that no cloud may ever arise in the
horizon of their lives to call to men,
DRY the old, familiar adage of "Mary
in haste, repent at leisure"

Among the many new firms recently
established in Dallas, there are none
more worthy to direct attention to
than that of Atkinson IL Alsted, deal
ers In fine watches, diamonds, fashion,
able jewelry, silver-plated ware, clocks
and fancy goods. Their stock of goods,
for richness and variety, is unsur-
passed, and embraces everything in
their line of business. Their estab-
lishment Is located in the State Say
ings Bank building, and The HERALD
advises its readers, both ladies' and
gentlemen, to visit it If they desire to
see one Of the finest displays Of jewelry
and diamonds to be seen in the State.

A suxrestia..

Dallas has had surfeit of amuse.
ments for the past two weeks. The
drama, legitimate and Legitimate !;
the Carnival, the Mystic Revelers,
balls, routs, etc., have been the order
Of the day. Next week we are to have
lectures, spiritual expositions, and
divers entertainments, all of which
VIII doubtless be we'll patronixed. But
there is one class of entertainment that
has been entirely overlooked, and that
one would probably be more fully an.
preciated and patronized than any we
have had. THE HERALD alludes to an
entertainment OF vocal and instr,.
mental music. Dallas has some fine
musical talent, both vocal and instru.
mental, and The HERALD has but to
