A Dead Failure.

Owing to the conclusion that all is vanity
here below, and firing of the ways Of this
world, Mrs. Carrie Garter, who cut such o
prominent part in the suicide of Mrs. Ella
Burke, made an Intellectual attempt Friday
night 70 leave this vale Of tears. Since the
death Of Mrs. Burke, who put an end 10 her
existence on discovering that Mrs. Garter was
her husbands mistress, she has been brood
ing over the sad affair, and on the night
mentioned she retired 10 her room In the
Globe shouse, where she is stopping, and
swallowed dose of morphine.
Burke sent and got his eighteen months old
daughter he had permitted her 10 take
charge Of and then she sent for him TO come
and see her for the last time in the flesh, but
he refused, writing her that no was going to
leave the city. This was too much and she
resorted, rs already stated, TO cold poison
Her condition was discovered in time and 9

vomit and IL had the desired effect of bring.
ing her around oil right. She says that she
still thinks oftaking her own life.

of the Herald,

DENVER, COL, August "a. 1881.
II has occurred TO me that the city council
of Dallas would consult the wishes of the
taxpayers OF Dallas on the water works
question, and at the same time shield thems
selves from blame, pro or COZ, by submitting
to vote of the taI-paying citizans wheth,
or the city of Dallas shall build water wor'
or shall buy water works, (the price tc be
determined before elootion) or shall rent
water works at q price 10 be deter
mined before election. BY referring
the entire question to the Taxpayers. the
council can act knowingly in the matter, at
the same time consult the wishes Of the PEG.

A Tennessee Miss who Runs Away
With Married Man rurus Up In
Texas.
The HERALD published an account yes
tsrday morning of the abduction Of Miss
Fannie Smitbson, syoung girl OF fourteen
summers, from her parents at Woodbury.,
Tennessee, by one James Tucker. who wss
subsequently, arrested and lodged In Jail at
that place. A friend ofthe family wrote TO
the sheriff here enquiripg after the girl. Mrs
Gallagher, who is widow lady, residing at
the corner Houston and Commerce streets,
read the account and recognized in the de-
scriplion given, girl whom she hired in
the month of juno. and whom she
subsequently, discharged on account OF her
queer conduct. The description, name, and
the story told by the girl leave no doubt but
that she is the party wanted. She told Mrs.
Gallagher that she had run off from her home
in Tennessee and married man named
James Tucker: They came to Texas and HE
funds being exhausted he went 20 work ss a
grading hand on the Chicago, Texas " Mexi-
can Central road, but firing of such labor he
deserted his girl wife and returned home 10
his legal Wits and two children, when he
was arrested and put in jail.
While ahe was at Mrs, GsllOgher's the girl
paid frequent visits to oolOred woman
named Hannah Walter, who lives four
miles west of the river. On learning this,
Deputy Sheriff Miller went out to see her,
and though she was rather reticent, he has
no doubt but she is the right party. He
wrote TO her patents that their daughter was
here, and they will no doubt send for her.

Ehe Yield Of Corn, wheat, Oats and
Cotton In Dallas County.
Captain w. w, Ross, the official reporter
of the agricultural bureau at Washington,
in conversation with HERALD reporter
yesterday, gave him a sy uopsis of his full crop
report which he will forward on the first OF
September. he has gathered his data with
great care and states the condition of the
crops as they really are. He Gays that there
will DO about one fourth of Il corn crop with
a yield Of from eight to ten bushels per acre.
The crop is light and much of it smut,y.
There is large supply of old corn on hsnd,
and by economizing planters will DO ena-
bled 10 bridge the season without buying
much. Tho wheat is sill threshed; crop fair
and quality good. The yield of oats was
better, from torSy to eighty bushels being
produced to the acre, while the quality Is
tho very best. Cotton will hardly yield
above one-third an average crop, caused by
the excessive rains of the month of Nav,
which suspended field operations, followed
by the long continued dr0uth. The weather
has been exceedingly warm and the few
showers OF rain that fell now and then beni-
fitted the crop but very little. The crop is
prematurely maturing and with good wealth
or in about six weeks it will all DO gsthered.
The seed ia very light though the yield of

"When is the road expected to be

Col. Whcelocll then informed the re-
| porter of the fact that the Texas &

1t is also learned that Major B.H.
Greene, chief engineer of the New Or

struction and surveys of the new line
to Little Rock, and that he has been
instructed to negotiate for the right of
way through the country which is to
be traversed by the road. This new
line which will be built by tho New
Orleans Pacific Railway Company is to
be caIieA the New Orleans Pacific and
Little Rock railway, and will be under
the management of that road, and will
form part OF Gould's great South.
western railway system. The news
that this road was to be built created a
great deal of comment in railroad cir
cies yesterday, and all agree that it
will be of material benefit to New
Orleans. The road passes through the
finest cotton lands in Louisiana and
Arkansas, and the general impression
is tho local traffic of tho road will be
immense. 1t also has direct connec-
ton at Little Rock with lines which
tap the vast grain producing country
Of the West, and makes New Orleans
Il nearer grain market than Chicago.
Thc successor the enterprise, according
to the knowing ones, will herald an
era OF prosperity for New Orleans.
