---Advces from Brownsville, Texas, state
that there are about fifty cases of yellow
fever there, and the epidemic is developing.
The people have organized and are pre-
pared for the worst though no aid is re.
quested from the government at present.
A Laredo special says one death from yell
| low fever occurred at Brownsville Wednes-
day. The NUM- Der of cases is increasing.
Hon Henry Winter is an energetic
worker in the Greenback cause, lie is
thoroughly inflated with the theory OF IN

He Is agent for what Jno. Carroll, in the

green back paper, published in a town called

Thomasitcs believe themselves amply vim
Dictated by the nomination, which was accom-
plished however without recognizing their
claims to seats in TIE convention. A fail
ure to fight for their seats as long as there

1t is confidently asserted that Jay
Gould has purchased the Mobile and Ohio
railroad and will consolidate that road and
the Wabash, st. Louis & Pacific and then
will extend the former from Mobile into
New Orleans so az to get more direct
competing line with the Illinois
Central road and and its
New Orleans branch. Although there is
no positive information to this effect, yet
the idea is SO reasonable, and the rumor
is so positive and comes from sucha reliable
source that there can be but little doubt OF
its truth. Further Developments will prob
ably occur within the next few days.

helfer was offered to Mr. Louis koehIer
who offered fair price which was refused
by Mr. Cricket. The animal was finally
boughtby Mr.. Zulu Koehler at a slightly
advanced price. The animal was worth
about sixteen dollars, enough to send
Cricket up. Mr.. Koeher will go and give
the necessary testimony.

A. higher figure would secure fewer cases
and more money and less drunkenness
would afford much less fun for the man, bu

that the regulation price for DRINKS IN mos
other cities is from five to eight dollars anc
