Tile first sign of burgla ry that has
shown itself in this city for some time,
came to the surface during the middle of
last week, Wednesday night the saloon
of Henkle & Wenzel and also the store of
j. o. Bartlett was entered and despoiled
Of a small amount of money, cigars and
other articles. The entrance to Henkle
&Wenzel' was affected through the eel
lar, from whence the burglars made their
way to the upper floor, broke open the
moncy-drawer, from which they OBJ
tanned between five and ten dollars in
change, including many twenty-eent
pieces and foreign coin. They then
appropriated about ten dollars worth
of cigars, oysters and other truck, and
decamped.
From appearances it would seem that
the thieves then proceeded to the con-
fcctionery store of Mr. Bartlett, where,
after an unsuccessful attempt to effect
an entrance in the rear, they came to
the front of the place, removed a light
of glass and took what was within their
reach amounting only to n few cigars
and toy pistol. Back of Bartlett's
they left a bundle of rags which had ev-
identity been used to deadeu the noise of
theirfootsteps. The job bore many dog
ears of amateurism to admit of its being
laid to professional thieves, and was
probably committed by some tyro in the
craft, imbued with the drippings of yell
low covered literature or ambitious for
penitentiary fame.

and takes her place on the Woodman
passenger. Robt. Robinson is the en-
gineer in charge.
Martin Kelly, formerly fireman ON
the Lancaster, has received deserved
promotion, and now pulls the throttle

The narrow gauge winds its devious
way around meadows and other land
that offers secure footing for the time
being, between Werley and Woodman.
The city scale yard at the depot has
been undergoing necessary planking
during the past week.
Owing to the trouble of making con-

THE Common Council held their reg
ular monthly meeting Monday evening,
the most Of the time being taken up by
the comparison of assets and liabilities,
to the end that. the city government,
like common people, might know how
il was coming out financially. The re-
suit showed a surplus on the credit side
of the ledger of Sl10, as near as could
be estimated at the present time. A
petition was presented by Messrs.
Barstow and Fischer, that they be al
lowed to apply their road tax to the
furnishing of one plank walk over the
muddy places leading to their places
west of the city. Permission granted.
A petition and proposition was again
presented by Messrs. Horstman, Van
de Wall, Clark, Schrener and others
for a sidewalk leading to the depot on
Washington street, and one on the north
side of Maple Street between Jefferson
and Washington streets. The amount
offered by the parties represented in the
petition aggregated in donations, taxes
and labor, about $50. After some dis
cussion in which it was decided as the
sense OF the council that they should
build sidewalk on the south side of
block ten, provided they had the time
and means, the whole matter was laid
over until u special meeting to be held
October2it After some dcsultory talk
in regard to the preparation of the
streets for winter the council adjourned.

c. +. Stephens, chief engineer of the
Texas & st. Louis Narrow Gauge Railroad,
was in the city yesterday and departed last
night for Sulphur Springs, to superintend
laying out depot grounds at that point;
thence he goes to Little Rock and Pine
Bluff to look after the company's interests
IN Arkansas. Mr.. Stephens informed II
HERALD representative that the road
bed from Mount Pleasant TO Sulphur
Springs, on the Dallas line, is all ready for
the ties and rails and that track-laying will
begin in Il few days. All the forces recently
employed between Waco and Gainesville in
Coryell county, are to be tranfcrred to Sui
pher Springs to work from that point
toward Dallas. In conversation with a
well-known and thoroughly posted railroad
man Yesterday evening the HERALD report
er was informed that zone of the prcttiest
races ever witnessed will soon be seen be-
tween Hubbard and Paramore's Texas
e st. Louis Narrow Gauge, and Jay
Gould's East Line and Red River Marrow
Gauge. Each is determined to reach Dial
las first, and when both get down to bust
ness, the contest will be prettiGr than any
thing ever seen on a race-track." Thi:
seems to be the general impression, and !
is now regarded as a certainty that boil
roads will be running cars into Dallas with
in six months.

some days, two miles of track will be put
down. FIVE miles of grading from Dallas
toward Paris is already graded, and thu
line ms far as FarmerstiIe, Il miles, is To-
Gated and CLEARED ready for the graders
Over 200 men are now employed on this
part of the road, and as soon as Cleburne is
reached, all forces on that end will be trans
ferrcd TO the northeast, making over l,20C

The Ninstrels,

Mcintyre & Heath's Minstrels played
at Craddocks Opera House last night to a
full house The company labored under
the disadvantage of one of its members be-
ingquite i'll, but for all that, the programme
was carried out to the letter, We all know
what u minstrel show is. 1t consists OF
singing, instrumental music, jokes, speci-
alities, dancing, etc, and in all these lines
the company last night came up to the
standard of excellence.
The little girl. Daisy Belmont,
with her banjo solos, songs and dancing
was an exceedingly interesting feature of
the performance and she very meritori-
ously won rounds of applause.
Messrs. Blackford and Bye, in their
musical comicalities with violins,
horns and the banjo, were MS
fine us could possibly be. Mr.. Bye's play
ing of Leather Brooches brought down the
house, as it ought to have done so, for if n
man has any music in his soul, any dance
in his feet, that tune, as rendered by Mr..
Bye, will arouse both.
Mcintyre X Heath, in their pecialties,
are artists indeed and deserve all the sue
cess they have achieved in the past and
that they give earnest for the future.
There will be matinee ut the usual hour
this afternoon and performance again to-
night, and two hours Of fun and laughter
will be given for verify at each.
