Round to Marry.

1t is hardly necessary to mention the
namcs of the parties The mother objected
to the match, and most vehemently at
that, but when young girl makes up her
mind to marry the man of her choice, she
is going to do it, and all the stubborn pa
rents in the world cannot keep her from it.
The mother and daughter, who are country
folks, came into the city yesterday morning
to do some shopping, and whether 1t had
been prearranged or was mere chance,
the trio, consisting OF mother,
daughter and her lover, met in
an Elm street dry goods store, and while
the old lady was selecting yarn to knit her
old man some socks, the young folks held
lovers chat, and they both finally arrived
at the conclusion that 'procrastination is
the thief of time" and they determined to
get married instanter whether the mother
gave her sanction or not, and so the girl in
formed her that she had determined to
wed the Young man at all hazards. This
was the Signal for storm of abuse directed
by the old lady principally toward the
young man though the girl caught her
share of it. In her rage the old lady
made her shell out what money, she had
given her that morning, and took back from
her Il shawl she had bought for her, ana
even went so far as to make her. then ana
there, pull off and hand back pair OF fancy
colored horse, at which juncture the young
man had the good sense to supply her WIN
another pair. The old lady then told the
two they could go their own way, and they
did, going first to the courthouse for their
marriage license, and in less time than II
takes to tell it, they were made man ana
wife

Wants Out.

DR.. Thomas Finn, who was convicted
about two years ago in the Federal Court
in this city of raising United States Treas
ury note from small to a large sum, by
additional figures, and sentenced to term
of five years in the penitentary, is making
an effort for pardon. He has
written number of letters to Post
Master Whissen asking his influence in his
favor. That'gentloman replied to his letter
that if he (1inn) could get the, prison Off
Gals to certify to his good conduct and that
they would recommend him, to executive
cleiuency, he (Whissen) would endeavor to
get Judge Mccormick, District Attorney
Miner and other officials to petition tn;
President for his pardon, and
that he would also do all he
could personally in Firms behalf. Major
Whssen received n letter last night from
Finn, saying he felt very hopeful of getting
the aid of the prison officials as soon as one
of the principals, now absent should return
to Huntsville.

good feeling between all parties. A scuiile

continued until Thursday, and they both
gave bond. The charge of fighting was
lodged against Rev. Coleman, and four
charges, for fighting, resisting an officer,
drunkenness and carrying concealed
weapons, were preferred against him. Rev.

A Eren TolI-Bridge.

For some time past the County Commits
sioners Court has been considering the pur-
chase of the toll-bridge which spans the
Trinity, and which is the property OF a
stock company, for the purpose OF making
a free bridge The Commissioners and the
Bridge Company have been dickering over
the matter, and the former have on
several occasions contemplated the erection
of another bridge across the river for free
travel, and the Bridge Company contends
that according to the charter that they can
not do so. One of the provisions OF the
charter was that a turnpike should be
built from the west end of the bridge across
the west bottom of the river to the high
bluffs, and this the company has failed to
do, and the County Commissioners Court
charge that the company having failed to
comply with its charter that the county,
therefore, has right to construct Tree
bridge ofits own. The Commissioners claim
that great deal of the trade of the Western
part of the county would come to
Dallas but for the toll necessary to cross the
bridge and they will hold meeting ON the
10th to determine definitely what steps
they will they take in the matter. They
express willingness to purchase the com
pany's bridge, but the latter does not APP
pear to be anxious to sell to the county

The Union of the Tracks of the Texas n
Pacific aad the Southern Pacific Railroads
Wnlbe Made Early To-Day
information from the Texas Il Pacific
reconstruction front was received in the city
Yesterday to the effect that the tracks of
the Southern Pacific and the Texas Il Pa
cifc roads would be united at Mount
Blanco, eighty-two miles east of Ell Paso
and Gl0 miles west of Dallas, last
night or early to-day. On Thurs
day of last week there was gap of four
teen miles to close and track-laying has
progressed since at nearly daily average
of two miles. All the necessary material
for Joining the lines were on the ground,
as were also dozen or more sets Of switch
and side track apparatus for use in FL
Paso, which would be forwarded as soon
as the junction should be effected at Mount
Blanco. To-day Superintendent HoXie and
other representatives of the Gould system
are to meet officials of the Southern Pacific
at FL Paso to perfect arrangements for the
running OF through trains to San Francisco,
Their arrival at Ell Paso had not
been reported from that point to
railroad men in this city up to
last night. 1t is considered pretty certain
in railroad circles in this city that through
trains for general freight and passenger
traffic will be running by the 10th or 10th OF
December. Correspondence is now going
on between prominent citizens of Dallas
and other cities in the State looking to one
or more big excursions to El Paso, and per
haps as far as San Francisco.
