The DuiIdIng Boom

Never before in the history oil Dallas mas
there been rs much building of a substan-
tial character going on as at present. Many

600 and $50, 900, and will be one of the finest
mercantile houses in the state, as well as q
monument to the energy and enterprise Oh
its owner. -rI--
The handsome three-story stone building
with iron front, of Mr.. A. w. Childress, on
the north side of Main street, just east q
Murphy street, IS receiving the hnlshlne
toncbes and adds much to the appearance
Of that part OF the city. 1t is neatly finished

Field street, is also nearing completion, and
are two handsome stores that cost Sl0,OOo
Ground has been broken and work IS be-

Two Children Kidnapped.

Application was made yesterday, by Mrs.
susanna Brundage, OF this city, to Judge
Aldridge, of the district court, for a writ OF
habeas corpus, to regain possession OF her
children, two little girls, aged B and 7
wears, who are in the custody OF John De-
lagdo and Marie Delsgdo, his wife, Next
cans, who reside four miles from
Waxahachia, in Ellis county. 1t ap.
apers that Mrs. Brundage let Delagd0,, VINO
scanned to take a fancy to the children,
have them to raise, as he rapresen ted NM
self 10 be wealthy and promised 10
give them a GOOD educatlon:
Since then she has discovered that he Is not
a man of means. and that he has secreted
the children, which she is anxious to regain
possession of. She learned that he was
about to send them to Mexico to be edu-
Gated in a convent, and she fears he mas
done 80. She wrote to the mother superior
of the Galveston convent to know II they
were there, and received an answer that
| thew were not. Delagdo she says is try
ing to extort money from her, and init.
mated to her, she states, that she could get
them by paying $500 for them. Judge Al,
| bridge declined to issue the wril
| on the ground that he had jurisdiction OF
habeas corpus matters ia felony cases only.
Then she swore out a warrant before JUS
tice Edwards, charging Delagdo and MS
wife with kidnapping the children ana snt
left with the writ on last evenings tram ioi
Waxahachie to put 1t into the hands OF al
officer for service. This bids fair TO par
out an interesting case.

be put on ther road.
Two through daily fast trains from Gal
weston, one to Dallas and the other to Fort
Worth, are to be put on at an early day.
A traced to a reliable source Is 10
the effect that arrangements have been per-
fected with the Texas d St. Louis Narrow

be transferred at McGregor, where
hoistipg apparatus will be erected at once,
and by a simple change Of truck no delay
of any moment will occur. 1t is understood

The comparative decline in the production
of gold was greater in California than any
other state or territory, the yield being
81, 4OO, OOo less than in 1881. This re-
suited from the interruption to by.
draulic mining in some northern and
middle counties of the state, owing to lit
~igation, and also from the falling in pro-
duction Of quartz mines at Bodle. In Ore

At Temple EMANUEL. on JUNE 18th, swan
9th, commencing on the Evening OF the
10th.
The above feast is observed as the grand
est, hottest and most solemn days OF lsrael's
ieasts. The Biblical meaning is recorded in
Exodus, chapter 10, and is kept as the feast
of weeks, feast of first fruits and feast Of re-
ligious liberty-but In these modern times
children are being confirmed on the same
day in the sacred uenets of their religion.
This is to remind the Jewish race that al.
though among the nations Of the earth and
not farmers as OF old, they are nevertheless
anxious to offer in accordance 10 Biblical
command an Offering Of peace and a sacri-
flee Of their first fruits, n what more
could they do but bringing their sons and
daughters and thus consecrate them-thelr
lives TO the most High, the Lord, their
God. 1t is indeed a glory to see he young
ones after having been well instructed and
well informed there in youthful innocence
and sincere devotion obligate themselves TO
the service Of God.

In 1882, &c. 8 1915 were paid in dividends
by incorporated companies. This was q
digit falling off from the preceding year.
One hundred and seventy-five companies
made assessments upon stockholders for
the purpose of carrying on mining opera
lions, amounting to about $4,000 600 during
the year. There was q greater decline in
the amount deposited at the mines at the
assayers offices than the difference between
the gold production OF 1881 and 1882. but
there wa a large amount OF gold consumed
by the mechanical industries OF the coun-
try. The amount Of silver deposited at the
minis and assay offices increased about 81
500, 900, which corresponds closely to the
increased production Of the year. The ex-
cess of production over ,consump-
ton in the year added 10
gain to the circulation of less than $500, 900
gold, but by coinage and net import OF COIN
the metallic circulation gained nearly $39,-
zoo, 900 gold and about $27 soc. 600 in silver
coin. California still maintains second

ing states and territories, and is likely TO DO
