The Wool Market.

The receipts of wool yesterday were
quite heavy, and there was considerable
activity in the market Eastern markets
are firm, and the Boston AdUertiseP of last
Friday in its review of the wool market
SAYS:
"The market has been fairly active ut
the values established toward the close of
last week. The demand, however, has
been rather more in the medium than in
the fine woods as last noted; and this cir
cumstanee has hardened values on these
two styles, rather, however, at the eX-
pense of coarse and low grades. The in
curry for the fine unwashed fieeces con-
tinues to be good, although the stock here
of these is very light. The tendency of
the opening primary points is for prices
relatively above the consuming market
and, as result, holders here of any class
are less inclined to sell their stocks unless
there can be bid fractional advance. As
will be noticed from the sales, there has
been good deal of the picking up BUSH
ness that has taken out some very fair lots
OF what might be termed the odds and
ends. So far rs can be learned, the deal
ers here are doing little or nothing in
the purchase of the new clips,
From the latest telegraphlc advices, the
best woods are finding a few buyers at the
several points at the following figures !:
California 30c, Missouri 24@26c and
Georgia 2s@3lc. These prices are for the
very choicest woods, and, as will be no.
ticed, are very nearly up to the quotations
of the Boston markets.
Prices here in the city yesterday were
firm at 23@251Ic, but for very choice clips
26c, and possibly little more could have
been obtained

SAN ANTONIO, June 14.-Col. Ba.
ker, of the Central Hotel, started to
his ranch this morning with two
children, and when short distance
from town, one of the children
in playing with an English rife,
accidentally caused it to go of, the
ball striking Baker in the foot and
tearing it almost to pieces, making q
very serious wound. ...,
The Dewitt murder case will be
tried tomorrow. A large number
of witnesses arrived to-day.
Juan Hernandez, for horse steal
ing, was sentenced to five years in
the penitentiary. 1.
Simmons, whose family was MUIR
dered some time ago, below the city,
was before the grand jury to-day,
and, when coming out, he met
George Washington, colored, who is
charged with the killing. He struck
the negro a severe blow on the
head, and jumped on him and
would, no doubt, have killed him,
had not officers interfered in time.
They are both held on suspicion as
the murderer.
The International will run its first
passenger train forty miles west of

Romance Of Maggie ID ID.


The name of the mother of Iro-
quois brings to the surface quite an
interesting romance. IL appears that
young James Clay, grandson of
Henry Clay, was deeply in love with
Miss Maggie ID. Beck, a daughter OF
Senator Beck, of Kentucky, and in
the admiration for his sweetheart
he ehristened his favorite racing flliy
Maggie b. Il. The marriage of youpV
Clay and Miss Beck was opposed by
their relatives, and she afterwards
married the nephew of w. w. Cor
coran; the millionaire banker of
Washington. Young Clay, after los
ing his sweetheart, turned all his Ut
tention TO hef equine namesake, and
when a resident Of the blue grass
country wished to express the power
of his love for-anything, he was ina
the habit of saying he loved "like
Jim Clay loved Maggie b. B." Miss
Beck went TO Washington, where
she became a society belle, but her
health failed shortly after leaving
Kentucky, and she died q few months
later. Maggie b. b., after winning
ofraces, was retired TO Mr..
Welche's paddock, a. Erdenheim,
where she became the mother of
many such Heel footed runners as
Harold aud Iroquois.--Ne,o York

Ex-Gov. HuRRARp. the LEGAL re

Ex-Gov. HUBBARD, the legal rep
resentative of the Texas g. st. Louis
railway was banqueted the other
day in st. Louis. There was good
deal of speech-making, and our ex-
Governor was not only in a business
but in happy mood when his turn
came. In the course of his remarks
he made this reference to the move
ments of his company in Texas .
"After the Texas & st. Louis mar
row gauge railway had been built
by President Paramore, nearly then,
200 miles from the Arkansas line
into TeXas-We saw the wires had
flashed the news that the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas, and the Iron Noun
tain had both been bought by the
same wonderful mainland that a
happy family of once warning ele-
nients had been set up in this rail-
road household of the Southwest
That is all fair, all honest!. The re-
suit was, you of st. Louis became
a way station on our railway lead
ing to Texas. Two roads, it is true,
but one change, one rate. What has
been the consequence? Why sir,
these same men have locked
shields with others and to-day
we have besides 275 miles of
the Texas 81 st. Louis railway built
from Texarkana via Tyler to Waco
on the Brazos, organized to extend
our lines from st. Louis to Texaf-
kama via Cairo and thence through
Texas to Laredo, there to connect
with the Palmer Sullivan narrow
gauge railway fostered for 1900
miles by the Mexican republic.
Thus in two years President Para
more, backed by men who control
millions in the worlds money mar
kets, expects to enable this dis
tinguished company to board mar
row gauge palace car in st. Louis
and i'll few days land you on the
Pacific shores, after having gazed on
the mountains and mines of gold
and silver, the ruins of the Aztecs,
and the halls of the famed Monte
zumas. ~.s.

A DOWN TOWN MERCHANT,

Having passed several sIeepless nights.
disturbed by the agonies and cries of a
suffering child, and becoming convinced
that Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup was
just the article needed, procured supply
for the child. On reaching home and ac-
quainting his wife with what he had
done, she refused to have it administered
to the child, as she was strongly in favor
of homeopathy. That night the child
passed In suffering, and the parents with
out sleep. Returning home the day fol-
lowing, the father found the baby still
worse and while contemplating another
sleepless night, the mother stepped from
the room to attend to some domestic du-
ties, and left the father with the child.
During her absence he administered
portion of the Soothing Syrup to the
baby, and said nothing. That night ali
hands slept well, and the little fellow
awoke in the morning bright and happy.
The mother was delighted with the sud
den and wonderful change, and although
at first offended at the deception praeticed
upon her, has continued TO use the Syrup.
and suffering crying babies and restless
nights have disappeared. A single trial
ofthe Syrup never yet failed to relieve
the baby, and overcome the prejudices of
the mother. Sold by ell druggists. 25
cents a bottle.

Will 1t Become a Seaport City :?

The Teas Land and RaiI,Oau
Journal reports that a firm of Chi
cago contractors, under the super
vision of Gen. Mansfield, of the
United States engineer corps, have
been at work several weeks con-
structing works for the removal OF
the bar at the mouth of the Brazos
river. With this obstruction out OF
the way it is alleged with positive
confidence by those who claim to
know. twenty to twenty-five feet OF
water can be obtained, enabling
ocean steamers of heavy draft to
ascend the Brazos some forty miles,
penetrating one of the finest agri-
cultural districts in all Texas-a re-
gion whose productive capacity is
not surpassed by the famous Nile
thus affording an outlet for the rich
sugar and cotton lands of that sec
ton.
The lands adjacent to the river
will furnish as fine ship timber as the
world affords, and if the problem of
deep water can be solved there is no
reason why vast ship yards may not
be built along the river, rivallng any
in Maine or any portion of America.
Granted this condition-perman
deep water-and railroads will do
the rest. Important lines, most
probably those of the Gould system,
will tend to the mouth ofthe Brazos
and there in time may arise a sea-
port city that will rival Galveston.
Texas is large enough to encourage
and support such rivalry, and the
state at large while disclaiming spe-
cific antagonism to Galveston, will
view with gratified satisfaction the
efforts of capital to develop the ca
pacities that are said to exist at the
mouth of the Brazos. There should
be at least four first-class ports on
the Texas coast. Sabine City, Gal
weston and Velasco can make up
three of the number.-Telephone.
