For some time past, man named
Matthew Pearce and his wife have been
living on Poplar, near Eighteenth street.
lie had come here from Indiana, where he
had married widow named Staley, who
had daughter named Ida, tolerably
good looking young girl His Indiana
wife died, leaving her daughter, Ida, about
fifteen hundred dollars and some property.
Pearce left Ida, came here and married his
present wife. who is a sister of one Eli
Reeves, of Sandusky, in this county. A
short time ago Pearce wrote to his step
daughter in Indiana, telling her that his
brother-in-law, Eli Reeves, would be good
match for her and sought to induce her to
consent to a marriage with him. In due
course of time this obecA was accomplish
ed, and Miss Ida was told to come to Cairo
and remain at her stcp-father's home until
the necessary arrangements for the wedding
could be completed. She came, but
when she arrived at her step fathers home,
he acted the scoundrel. He told her that
he intended to send his wife home to San
dusky, and that she Qda) must give him
her money, sign over to him her Indiana
property, and flee with him to Arkansas.
The girl refused to comply with these un-
just and vile demands, whereupon Pearce
threatened to shoot her full of holes"
BY means of this and other threats, she was
finally induced to consent to the mans re-
quests; but she confined her trouble to Mrs.
Pearce, and the two women concocted a
plan to circumvent the plans of the I'M
worthy husband and step.tather, letter
was written to young Reeves, explaining
the circumstances and asking him to come
down. He came, and then it was arranged
that, at the first opportunity, he and Miss
Ida should be married and leave the evil
designing Pearce in the lurch. The license
was procured and the opportunity was
anxiously awaited. Pearce suspected moth
ing, but was silently making preparations
to get rid of his wife and to depart for the
south with his step daughter for wife.
But he was defeated Yesterday, while he
was down town, accompanied by his wife
purposely to give Ida and Eli "a chance"
these two young people hurried to Esquire
Osborn's Office and got married, then had
the squire to help them take their effects
from pcarce's house and accompany them
to the Union depot, from whence they ex-
pected to take the Cairo and st. Louis |
train for Sandusky The squire kindly
did all this because the young girl, in NOR
tai fear of Pearce because he had threatened |
to shoot her, begged him piteously not to
leave her and her young husband until
they we're safely on the train. They had
waited at the depot but short time when
Mrs. Pearce joined them, having been
home and prepared herself to leave her un
worthy husband aud 20 back home with
her brother and his young wife. They had
waited at the depot but short time
when Pearce was observed, coming tow

For the Renorters

The matter OF special Geographic cores
pondence for the metropolitan press has de-
veloped into such proportions in this city
that it has become one of the heaviest items
of the telegraphic business. Nearly all the
leading journals beyond the borders of the
State, as well as the principal Texas dai,ies,
have regular representatives here, who col
lect the local items of general interest and
much news from various parts of the State
for their respective journals In order to
accommodate this corps of reporters, Man
ager Burton has determined to place com
modious table, with chairs and other neces-
saries, in the message room, where the re-
porters can sit down and write out their
bulletins more comfortably than at present.

Passenger trains ON the Texas ( Pacific
are heavier-more ears in them-than ever
before. Last nights east-bound express
contained every coach that the locomotive
could have hauled and make time. A large
travel from New Mexico Arizona, Caliior-
MIA Old Mexico and the Pacific slope via FL
Iaso generally, has sprung up in the las,
few weeks, which will undoubtedly be
greatly increased, now thatan mhyoken line
exists and no staging is encountered. The
mildness of the climate, as compared with
lines in ATTITUDES further north, will make
the old 32d parallel route, now called the
Triple Line" exceedingly popular this
winter. WeSt-bound travel is heavier, if
anything, than the east-bound.

A Theatrical Troupe Tarries.


Yesterday afternoon dispatches received
by Mr.. Craddock, of the opera-house man
agement, from the Roger Palmer combine
ton troupe that they could not fulfill their
engagement in Dallas; that they had
been induced to remain over at Corsicana
another night 1t is TO be regretted that
this troups has thought it proper or pru-
dent thus to treat this city. The contract
between Mr. Uraddock of the opera =
house, and the combination troup
was very explicit and positive,
and it was assumed by this community, as
well as by people living in neighboring
cities and towns, that it was one made in
good faith. The consequence was that
several hundred persons respectively bought
their seats for Friday and for Saturday
night, having made their arrangements in
accordance with the troupc's announce
ment, foregoing other things. A course of
this character is not calculated to raise the
company in the estimation of either theat-
rical managers or the public generally.
The trains were running regularly
from Corsicana and the dates were dis
tinctly fixed, and what excuse the troupe
can produce for failing to comply
with peremptory contract re-
mains as yet undisclosed, Mr..
Craddock was chagrined, and the COM
munity not only disappointed, but
disguised at such course on
the part of company
that has laid claims to the confidence of a
community not only as to the character of
its performances hut as to the good faith of
its contracts. If they so egregiously fail in
the former, what faith can we place in the
quality of the latter The HERALD condoles

fortunate faux-pauY. Mr.. CraddocR left on
