up to the rain-stOrm.

spection of the fire department.
Business was very dull yesterday,

native country.
The EXAMINER again calls atten-
ton to the annual fair and Dickens
party, under the auspices of st. Paul's
Guild, which, the weather permitting,
occurs tomorrow night, in the federal
courtroom.
As will be seen from our Dallas
special, the Missouri Pacific Off

present tomorrow on completion of
the line at this point. 1t is doubtful,
however, with the present weather, if
they will be able to reach the city to-
morrow.

Homer Anderson and Spence
Grand engaged one OF Smiths billiard

fourteen. This was at ;}.35. The play

three points and Spence five.
The first number of the "Vindi-
Gator published at our neighboring
town of Hubbard City, reached the
Examiner yesterday, and looks very
neat. The publisher, Mr.. Hanson, in
forms us there was no foundation
whatever for the report that he had
given up the intention OF publishing
his paper at Hubbard City. He was
very indignant at the report to that
effect, published in the EXAMINER a
few weeks since. We succeeded yes
terday in convincing him that our
statement was based ON presumably
accurate information, and not from
any desire to misrepresent him, and SO
Mr.. Hanson is perfectly reconciled
with the EXAMINER. We are free to
say we wish he may prosper in his un
dertaking. The "Vindicator' is a green
back organ
