Incendlary Fire.

About 6 80 yesterday evening Mr.. j,
Il. Myer discovered'hre in An upper room of
A. A. Pearsons store on Elm street. He
was seated in the back yard, saw the lights re.
Elected on the walls of the building in the rear,
thought he heard some one pouring water on
the floor above, and then smelt coal oil. An
alarm was given and in few minutes the
fire was extinguished by the use of the water
works in the second story. A HERALD re-
porter visited the room last night and got
statement from Mrs. Pearson. She had
just returned from supper and was in the
store down stairs. She was in the room be-
fore going to supper and left the doors
open. When the fire was discovered both
doors were closed. The rooms had COM
plete new set Of elegant furniture put ia last
week, q birthday present to Mrs. Pearson
from her husband. The coal oil had been
thrown over the bed and on the carpet, and
the bed fred The mattress was badly burned
and the bedding and mosquito bar DESTROYED.
The carpet was also slightly burned. A two.
quart tin bucket had been taken from nan.
w '"Ao 80 "a euJoihihS iooLi useu lor COAL
oil. A matchbox, which had been
hanging at the head of the bed,
WAS found on the floor empty,
several feet from Its proper place.
The bucket was found in the middle room of
the building, with small quantity of ..inaam-
mable fluid in it. From the front door of the
room in which the fire was ignited for dis.
lance Of about eight feet into the middle
room was stream Of coal oil on the floor
There must have been nearly quart spilled
here. Who the incendiary was or what the
motive is mystery. No one was seen to 90
up or come down the front way for some
time previous to or after the fire. A rear
stairway led through the backward and
through the music house of A. Sumner & Co.
to Main street, and it is barely possible the
incendiary made an entry and exit by this
route. The stock in the store is insured.
The crime is all a mystery, and, although but
slight damage was done, it was a most mar
row escape from destructive confagration.
and is about the boldest act of ncendiarism
ever perpetrsted in Dallas. The locality is
in one Of the principal business centres ofthe
CITY.

BIackleg BOOtblacks.

Policeman Clapp made raid on gang
of about dozen bootblacks, who were gamb.
ling in the rear of the engine house yesterday
morning, when ludicrous scattertion en-
sued. They we're throwing dice at five cent
ante when the officer put in an appearance.
So soon as they caught glimpse of the
blue coat and brass buttons tn Y were thrown
into the utnost,confusion and each began to
scramble for himself. There was but one
means of escape, which was through restau.
rant opening on Main street, and they did not
hesitate to take advantage of it. AS they
rushed through in their hurry they knocked
the landlady sprawling and 1t was some time
before she could realize what was the matter.
One of them failing to reach the entrance to
the restaurant, seeing that he was headed off
by the officers, stood still and gave vent to
his feelings by crying. The officer took him
and three or four forsaken blacking rigs in
charge and afterwards arrested five of the
gang, whom he locked up in the station
house. The others have not been seen since.

A complimentary Mop.

Next thursday evening the Queen City
Banner club, which is composed entirely of
ladies, give their first complimentary hop to
the Queen City Guards at Windsor park
This company is indeed fortunate to have
the ladies take such an interest in them. The
ladies composing this club have given several
entertainments heretofore which were con-
Quoted in the most pleasant manner, and as
the hop on next Thursday evening is special
affair, it will no doubt be grand success.
Gentlemen accompanying ladies will be ad-
mitted free, and tickets must be presented at
the entrance. The following compose the
committees:
Committee on Invitation--Mrs. Donald
Hinckley Mrs. George E. FELTON,, Miss Aggie
Baird, Miss Minnie Kennedy.

Il. .SP. Immigration scheme

The Texas & Pacific railroad company are
inaugurating an extensive immigration
scheme to people up the valuable lands
they possess in the western and northwestern
portion Of the state. They propose giving
their immediate attention to colonizing large
tracts of land in Mitchell and Nolan coun-
ties, directly north of the eastern end of
Tom Green county. Mr.. Leopold Fries, a
young German of Dallas, has been appointed
to an important European immigration
agency by the company, with headquarters
at Hamburg Germany. Mr.. Fries has &C.
cepted the position, the papers have been
signed and he starts for Europe in about two
weeks. He has great advantage over immi-
grafton agents generally, as his father owns
a large interest in the Hamburg American
steamship line. He will sell lands and organ
ize German colonization parties, and expects
to arrange for sending from five thousand to
ten thousand Germans and Scandinavans to
Texas by January LIST, 1880.

The Wretched Ford.

Alderman Bohny, representing the city
council, appeared before the county COM
mis.ioners court yesterday for the purpose OF
inducing the court to cooperate with the
city in putting the ford of the Trinity in
proper shape. Atpresent tits in miserable
condition, and when there is the least rise in
the river, it is dangerous to cross. City En-
gineer Thatcher made an estimate of what it
would cost to put it in proper shape, and is of
the opinion that 5000 will do it. The city
has heretofore fixed the ford time and again
at her own expense and the city council
asked the county to share at least portion
of the expense. The commissioners seeing
the Justice Of the request, appropriated 5000
to fix that part of the ford on the west bank
ofthe Trinity.

DRUNKENNESS IN ENGLAND. - DR..
Buckniil, in his recent work on "Habit-
uaf Drunkenness" says: "Of late years
the upper class of England has become
sober, and its growing opinion stamps
drunkenness more and more as disgrace;
and that some small proportion Of its
members are left behind in the shameful
indulgence Of the old vice is certainly not
a matter of national concern. But they
will ruin themselves! No doubt, and
why should they not' Their possessions
will be better placed in sober hands, and
their undeserved social position will be
Yielded to the advance Of more worthy
candidates, but they will kill themselves!
And this also is more likely than lament
able, especially If they leave no ofspring
to inherit the curse of their qualities. 1t
would be national, may, . worldwide
blessing, if alcohol were really the active
poison which It is 20 often represented to
be, that men who indulge in it might die
of quickly. The French have somewhat
improved upon pure spirit in this direction
BY the invention of sbsinthe, which causes
epilepsy, and Americans with their vile
compounds ofraw whisky taken into emp
ty stomachs, are far ahead of ourselves.
An American drunkard who sticks to his
work has much better prospect Of fin
ishing It within reasonably short time
than IN Englishman.

at reception Of Mr.. Hendricks in New
York City, May 18th, 1877 or g:
evils In government grow by success
and by impunity. They do not arrest their
own progress. They can never be limited
except by external forces. II the men In
possession Of the government can In one
instance maintain themselves In power
against an adverse decision at elections,
such an example will be initiated.
Temptations always exist. Devices TO
give the color of law, and false pretences
on which to found fraudulent decisions,
win not be wanting. The wrong will grow
into practice II once condoaed. In the
worlds history, changes in the succession
of governments have usually been the re-
suit OF fraud or force.
"It has been our faith and our pride that
we had established mode OF peaceful
change to be worked out by the agency OF
the ballot-box. The question now Is wheth-
er our elective system, In its substance AZ
well as It's form, Is to be maintained. This
is the question OF questions. Until II Is
finally settled there can be no politics
founded on inferior questions OF admins
trative policy. 1t involves the fhndamen-
tai right Of the people. 1t involves the
elective principles. II involves the whole
system OF popular government. The peo-
pie must signdlly condemn the great ,crong
chich has been done 20 them. They must
strip The example OF everything that can at
tract imitdt0rs They must refuse pros
porous immunity to crime. This Is not
all. The people will not be able 70 trust
the authors or bene6ciaries Of the wrong
to devise remedies"
