Prof. Hayden's explorations next Summer
will traverse region of which our present
knowledge is very indefinite The Rocky
Mountain area, north of the Union Pacific
Railroad, has only attracted mining settle
ments in a few localities. The geography of
all parts of the United States ought at least to
be toleraby well known, and it cannot be
without such explorations and there is besides
always the chance, not to say the probability,
of valuable discoveries as to the whereabouts
of metals and minerals.

The Treasury frauds" of which we have
heard so much of late, are found to be frauds
upon the public credulity. 1t was not con-
spiracy against the Government, but against
the character of Government officials. An i'll
vesteation shows that the whole story of
fraudulent payments OF interest was colied
ont of nothing, and for a purpose which
it is easy to conjecture. 1t was mere
raid of libelcrs, with certain Treasury clerks
fighting on the same side within the Depart
ment. Mr.. CoDant, who was the most con-
spicuous object of attack. has the pleasure of
seeing the mud roll off his garments without
leaving a stain, and ought to have the further

The contest between the Oxford and Cam
bridge boat crews on Saturday was as spirited
as could be desired. From the start each crew
displayed unAagging vigor, and never despaircd
of securing the victory. The time has
been exceled every year since 1866 but
the state of the river accounts in great de-
gree for the comparative slowness OF the
race. Both crews having behaved so credita-
bly,, it is perhaps as well that there was a
dead heat, leaving oxford a majority of one
in the thirty-four contests which the Thames
has witnessed.

Horace Greeley used to tell this story: He
once sent claim for collection to Western
lawyer, and regarding it as rather desperate
demand, told the attorney if he collected it,
he might reserve half the amount for his fee.
In due time Mr. Greeley received the follow
ing laconic epistle: 'Dear sir, l haye
cei7ed my half of that claim. The balance
is hopsless."

DROWNED.
a Horscman Rides Into n Watery
Grave,

a Horscman Rides Into WNtery
Grave.
A sad case of drowning occurred late
yesterday afternoon, on Turtle creek,
three miles north Of the city, near
where the Dallas and Wichita railroad
ero; ses the stream. The stream was
very much swollen from the recent
rains, and was twice its usual size, the
banks being overlooked. The victim
who was suddenly hurled into eternity
is Mr.. John Smith, apainter, who did
business in the frame building on
Main street, next to Kneptly Il Sons
jewelry store. Mr.. Smith left the city
about four o'clock, on horseback, for
the purpose of hunting, going north to
Longs lake and Turtle creek. Mr.
Cole, who was in the neighborhood,
saw Smith riding towards the banks
OF the creek, and In few minutes saw
the riderless horse emerging on the
opposite side of the stream. Running
down to the edge of the water, he saw
hat floating on the SUI face. The
drowned man was not in sight. Cole
Immediately came to the city and
gave the alarm, and officer Clements
and others went to the scene to drag
for the body. 1t was soon found and
brought to the city. Mr.. Smith could
not swim, and the theory Of the drown
ing Is that when he rode into the creek,
which at the spot has steep bank
some eight feet, but which is now I'M
der water and not visible, the plunge
of the horse threw him from his seat,
and he having on heavy overcoat
and boots. Immediately sank. He
leaves a wife and two small children
to mourn his sudden and untimely
death. Mr., Smith came to Dallas from
Alexandria, Louisiana, some four years
ago, and has followed his occupation
of painter. He was a quiet, indus
triOus citizens, and his loss and the
manner In which he met his death is
to be regretted.

An alarm Of fire was sounded last
night from the engine-house. The
engine and hook aud ladder company,
were promptly on the streets and the
East Eallas company were sOon down
town. The alarm was caused by the
burning of bed clothing in a house
near the California wagon-yard, and
the flames were extinguished without
the aid Of the firemen. A fireman re.
quests us to correct the report that this
alarm was hoax, as was reported on
the streets, and to explain the reason
that the horses were hitched to the
engine Immediately before the signal.
1t Is the custom occasionally for the
fireman to take the engine out and
test It TO be sure that It is working or
der. Last night this was about to be
done, when the alarm was given. The
boys were just about ready to start
when bona fide call was made on

An 0uended Brudaer.

The revival was at It's height at the
colored church on Lamar street. The
pastor, Duncan Turner, was wrought
up to high pitch Of excitement, ex-
horting sinners to flee from the wrath
to come. Near by the preacher sat
lobe Watson with dIlated eyes and
open mouth, greedily devouring the
words Of grace as they fell from the
lips of his colored brother. During
his gestioulatiOns the pastor several
times brought his hand In very close
proximity to the face Ct lobe, and,
rs the latter claims, pointed a warning
finger at him, thus bringing that hum
bls individual In prominence before
the audience and making him feel as
the black sheep of the flock. lobe OBJ
jected to the proceedings, which were
repeated. Then he arose In wrath
and knocked the hand aside, to the
great horror Of the brethren aud sis
tiers assembled. Yesterday the pastor
went before Justice Mcclure and swore
out q warrant against lobe for disturb
ing public Worship. The trial is set for
this afternoon, and almost the entire
congregation has been summoned az
witnesses. Unless the justice cuts
down the number OF these the trial will
not be concluded for a week.
