STILL NJ fSSING.

j. r. Armstrong, Who Suddenly Disap-
peared From His Home Saturday Morn
ing, not Heard From-His Grief-Stricken
Wife.
The HERALD made mention Sunday of
the mysterious disappearance on the pre-
vious day of Mr.. j. F. Armstrong, who
kept restaurant on south Nam street, a
few doors east of Sycamore street. Heis
still missing. and all the efforts of the po-
lice and his friends to find him have proved
futile. Mrs. Armstrong, his wife,
is satisfied that he was not
his right mind when he lett home and is
nearly craZcd with grief as she fears that he
has killed himself. She says that he has
not been in his right mind since the fire,
which occurred ON the I'd of this month,
when they were burned out at the European
hotel, on upper Main street. In his efforts
to save their effects from the flames
he inhaled lot Of hot air and smoke and
barely escaped being burned alive. On
reaching the street he fell, completely eX-
hausted, and was carried to neighboring
house, where he received medical attention.
1t was thought for several days that
he would die, but he gained strength and
hhh s wi Sa' n aeSss ag ghat f his
mind was. very much impaired.
His talk and his actions gave evidence of
it, yet she hoped that in time he would get
better, bur he grew worse. Saturday MORN
ing he arose early, built a fire in the stove
and went to the market. Just before break
fast he went to the bedside of his wife, who
had not gotten up, as she felt unwell, and
lying down by her side, asked her if she
was much sick, and kissed her. She asked
him If he would not go and wait GU the
table. He said he would and left the room.
This Is the last she saw of him. He left
home wearing black, SLOUGH hat, with a
silk cord, checked cotton pants
and shoes. In appearance he was
about five feet ten inches, dark hair
tinged with gray, heavy black
mustache, dark complexion, and was about
thirty eight years old. Saturday evening
be purchased tin cup from Terry Bros,
on Lower Main street, and a colored man
SAYS he saw him twice that evening, sitting
near the river, under the Trinity toll
bridge, with his shirt sleeves rolled up,
bitterly weeping. Divers searched the river
at and below that point Sunday, but found
no trace of him. He and his wife had been
married seventeen years, aud were parents
of four children, two boys and two girls.
The Oldest of their daughters is married,
and the other three are aged respectively
five, eight and ten years. Mrs. Armstrong
is wild with grief, and is constantly
on the go hoping to get tidings of him. 1t
is her earnest request that if he or his re-
mains are found that the parties who ever
they may be, telegraph her at once AS she is
in the most agonizing suspense concerning
bis 1ate. Edward Armstrong, the missing
mans brother, is here prosecuting the
search,

Crop Report.
The Peoples Clothier,

The following extracts are taken from the
crop report of Mr.. II. G. Stevenson, secre-
tary ofthe Merchants Exchange and Board
of Trade, for the crops OF north Texas and
the week ending August 16th
The rains continue to have. generally
fallen throughout all the counties, and to
the extrepe vexation of all the cotton
planters. Beginning on the Sth day Of
July, seven weeks ago, the ground has
been almost incessantly kept soaking wet
ever since. We had frequently hoped they
would cease in time TO allow the cotton
weed to come to hault in growth and the
boil to open. But it continues to grow and
has attained an extraordinary height with
corresponding luxurianoe Of foliage, both
of which are at the expense OF actual cot
ton.
The crop is all of three weeks late. There
has not been enough warmth in the sun to
open it, and hence picking will not gen.
orally begin before September.
Everything else continues to flourish. The
most magnificent specimens of ear corn,
eleven inches in length, and twenty rows,
of sixty grains each, are now being brought
to this market from the surro .nding coun-
try. All minor crops are still flourishing
and furnishing our tables with a supera-
bundBnce of vegetables

rhs Bocm Of rcni rsiatc In noih oiiy and
I0uufV

The very ripi1 and stopdy dHrf" " val.
uts In real estate iI Dullas within the lnat
sx months IA most gratifying evidence Of
the prosperity NJ the city. From the jump
that property has made II would seem that
priCes had been sium1crug for sons
months, and Only awoko to make up for
lost tine. There bias been no portion Of
the city that has not experienced an adj
vance In values, aud the impulse 10 prop.
erty near the Clr-shops, the Pacific aud
Santa Fe depots, and the cedars have been
phenomenal. Around the car.shops prop.
erty has advanced In many instances 3OU
per cent. Near the two depots indicated
| the advance has been fully 10 per cent,
| while the cedars has kept on par with,
aud perhaps in advance OF, any residence
property in the city.
| Near the summit of the hill on Main
street property has shilened rapidly. All
along Elm, Main and Commerce streets the
mp pulse Of better prices has been felt, and
the demand for property there is persistent
and pressing.
The scarcity OF brick in fact, il
might be said that the brick famine deters
the building of brick structures, and Is O
great drawback TO the city, but all over the
residence portions of the city the hand
soonest of homes are being constructed
The taste manifested in architectural de
dences, marks an era in the history of Dal
las. From the rapid investment OF cit!
merchants in the outlaying blocks sur
rounding the city, it would seem that thu
city proper, restricted and hedged in as j
cs by its limited boundary, is to be devoted
isooner or later TO business houses, and tina
the villas and homes of our bankers, law
yers, merchants and professional men gen
orally will adorn the prairies and grove
surrounding the city. The demand TO
small cottages and new stores does not usu
ally tax the capicity of the city until abon
the middle of October in each year, but thi
year that demand sets in cases as early a
the middle of August and it is matter o
some concern as to where the fall influx o
people are to be domiciled, unless they car
submit to be entertained nc the hotels anC
boarding-houses in the city. The entry
of the Santa Fe railroad into Dallas, it,
large purchases of real estate and establish
ment of depots, has stimulated property
very materially, and when the st. Loul
narrow-gaug comes in this winter, an in
creased stimulus will be given to all prop
erty. The respects are that the Santa Ft
will push at once for Paris, opening up The
intervening territory to Dallas, and that the
Trunk road will have adjusted its litigation
and reached out to the pines, making Dal
las the largest lumber center in the south
west. Dallas is certainly improving with
great rapidity, but when we add that the
rich farms in the county surrounding hel
are literally groaninS under the weight, o
grain and cotton, and are advancing steadily
and swiftly in value, oDd that our real es
tate offices are crowded with inquiries fol
this class of property, we can form some
conception ofthe prosperity OF our city and
| county,,

DENTON.
Correspondence OF the Hcrnld

correspondence OF the Herald.
DENTON, August H. 18s2-Denton was
named after Captain Denton, who was
killed by the Indians on Denton creek,
which also takes its name from him. His
tory has it that he was buried on this creek,
and hisremains were afterward found. This
is the county seat of Denton county, and
is situated on an eminence commanding a
good view of the surrounding country, but
which is obstructed by the timber. A new
and substantial courthouse ofstone stands
on the highest eminence, in the center OF
its square, around which an iron railing
Is soon to be placed. Colonel Mccoy, john
J. Good and other legal lights ofyour city
could relate some of their personal eSper-
fences or frolics that they had here in early
days. The citizens here are warm friends
to Dallas, and especially to the HERALD
which has long list Of subscribers and
continually increasing. Denton has been
sorely afflicted with fires, the first being in
1860, and as many as seven since the war
three in 1881. Its courthouse was burned
twice, it was thought to destroy
the county records. In every fire side or
more of its square would be leveled i'll
ashes a. a tine: and from each would arise,
Phs,rix like, better AID more extensive
buildings than ever; and now when the
late fire distr ct is rebuilt, which will be
very soon Denton can boast Of as good and
fine business houses as most towns. At
last it saw the necessity of purchasing a
fire extinguisf err, and the other day pur-
chased splendid Silby steam fire engine.
1t was my god fortune to see it tested.
About dozen men and boys had gone up
through and out upon the dome of the
courthouse, and with waving hats and
shouts, bid defiance at the fire company to
dislodge them if they could. Soon an eX-
ira amounl of steam was put on, and the
water was made to shoot up, and soon the
party were enveloped in cloud of rain,
and beat hasty retreat down stairs, and
came out as wet as drowned rats
There are two new papers started here
making three for this little town. Pretty
long division, l should think.

A Mad Cow.

1t is very common to see mad dogs, but
mad cows are not of frequent occurrence,
and especially those so mad as the one
which terrified the community at Oaklawn,
two miles north of the city. The COW was
the property of Rev. NJ. H. Cullum, and
was in possession of Mr.. Hamilton, who
occupied the place. The first that attrac-
ted the attention of those in the neighbor-
hood, was continued and vociferous below
ing by the COW, foaming at the mouth,
paving up the ground, jumping fences, and
plunging recklessly after every one in see
ing distance. Those unaccustomed to fright
were made to realize its power to make
them energetic and to teach them how to
make the fastest time in foot.racing.
A number of men soon congregated within
safe distance of the rabid animal and
she was shot and instantly killed before
she had done any harm. A small dog
passed through the neighborhood some
two or three weeks since and is supposed to
have bitten her., All the dogs on the place
were killed, fearing that they had also been
bitten and would ultimately show erI-
dences of it. This is the season for mad
dogs, other animals, etc., and the people
should be on the alert for them.
