refused to let him do. He went to the
Board of Health Office and abused the Pres

to such an extent that they gagged him and
chained him on his back, in which condi-
ton he is at this writing.
A county convict named Diamond, was
shot and probably killed to-day, by guard
in Warmers brick yard. He was fined last
June, and had to work on the yard,

To the Editor of the Herald.
GREENvILLE, January 2.-We learn that
the Chicago, Texas & Mexican Central Rail
road is about to consolidate with the Gulf,
Colorado e. Santa Fe Railroad, OF to arrange
their matters on a common basis. we feel
some interest in the matter. The Chicago,
Texas IL Mexican Central Railroad last
summer, through their authorized agent,
entered into contract with the people OF
Greenylle to construct their road through
that town. The contract is duly signed
and the people of Greenville have complied
with their part OF 1t, and are still ready 10
do as they promised, but we learn the
Chicago, Texas d Mexican Central Railroad
proposes now to ignore us and run by Far
mersville, some sixteen miles, west, we
only say this we propose to hold the COM
pany strictly responsible for their failure to
do as they agreed, and we shall ask the
courts to say what that amount Is. Ana III
addition, we say to the merchants OF Dallas
| that Greenville, in 1881, shipped over lO,CJO
| bales of cotton, and spent the proceeds for
goods. We are well pleased with the Dallas
wholesale men, but if they, the DaliaslteSS,
permit the road to pass us, we Will BID good
| bye to any further intsrcourse with that
| city. We believe that Dallas IAN control
this matter if they, its merchai@s, wish
! 30; ana II tney prefer EaIIhcrsNi!i'
| Greenvlle, let them have it.
We say in addition that the road, if they
MSS G'reeuville, the county seat, will have
| pay for every foot of land they cross in
our county, on the basis of the highest
rates the people OF that county can get.
Oar people have pride in their county seat,
.,ey will demand the full payment, on
fictitious value, of all property crossed by
re road il they mss Greenville. More
over, Greenville is the junction of the two
Gould roads that cross in that section
and the c., T. IL NJ. c. Il. II. will certainly
draw more trade to itself and to
Dallas by large per cent. if the road will
cross at Greenv lie than elsewhere. We are
not afraid but that we will have other roads
as we now have two, and feel confident, OF
either getting the Texas d st. Louis or East
Line, with a fair probability of securing the
Northeastern branch Of the Central, from
Ennis to Paris, but in either Of those events
Dallas will be the sufferer. Ask Sanger
Betterton, Ortleb, Schneider IL Davis, ill
mann, or other wholesale men if our trade
is not worth seeking. Your citizens can do
as they please. We offer these suggestions
merely because we love old associates and
believe I'm ihu integrity Of the people with
whom we were almost raised.

BoNHAM, January 2G.-Last night das-

Jack Whitsett, negro, living in the east
ern part of town. Some unknown party

of the villains fired a load of buckshot
ti ,ough the door of the house, one of the
snot striking Jacks wife in the front
temple, inflicting a painful but not dan
gerous wound. A negro named Oliver
Stul was to-day arrested and lodged in Jail
