DALLAS.


| DALLAS, August 23.-Conductof
Brown, of the Houston and Texas
Central railroad, was arraigned be-
fore Commissioner BARLEY to-day for
preliminary hearing on the charge
of violating the civil rights bill, by
putting Rev. A. L. Dodson and wife.
of Fort Worth, off his train near
Dallas, August IL, 1883. He waived
examination and was placed under a
$3.50 bond.
President Adams and two of the di-
rectors of the Texas trunk railroad
went over the road on a tour of in
spection. 1t is necessary to put the
road in thorough repair and extend it
fourteen miles, by November 8, to
keep from FORGETTING the charter, and
large force of men are working to
that end.
The postoffice trouble has quieted
down. Mr.. Garrison, the new post
master, to-day telegraphed the post
office department at Washington that
if it wanted him to be postmaster at
Dallas it would have to put him in
possession of the office, as Assistant
Postmaster johnson, in the absence
of Postmaster Whissen, had refused
to turn the office over to him. He
has not, up to tonight, received re-
ply. In the meantime Mr.. Garrison
has withdrawn the man he put in
charge of the office last night and the
office is still in the hands of Major J.
G. WhisSen.
A coroner's jury to-day held an in
quest over the body of little daugh-
ter of Mrs. Tennessee Martin, and re-
turned verdict that it died from
want of medical attention. An in
vestigation proves that Mrs. Martins
husband is in Jail for horse theft, and
that she has been, by her own exer-
lions, unable TO support seven small
children, four of whom are now sick.
They are living in miserable hovel
| among the negroes, and in manner
starving to death. They have re-
ceived assistance to-day from private
contributions.
Judge Hurt, of the state court of
| appeals, who has had an important
case under consideration for two
weeks, to-day decided that the city
| police court under the city charter
has concurrent Jurisdiction over baw-
dy house cases with the county court
The test case was made againstMadam
Anna Wilson. She will appeal to the
full bench of the court of appeals.
Should Judge Hurts decision stand, it
will greatly reduce county court cost
and perquisites.
The Brown Stockings, of Dallas,
| and the Shreveport club played the
first of three games here to-day. The
series is to be continued tomorrow

won by score of 10 to 6. The Shreve.
port club is the hardest team the
Brown Stockings have yet met.
The preliminary hearing Of Hutton
for shooting Copeland, was called
to-day and again postponed on &C
count of the absence of counsel fol
the defense.

Anderson Thomas, on the night OF
March %, 1882, had a habeas corpus
trial before Judge Hurt this morning

TAYLOR, Texas, August 22.-The
First National bank of Taylor
opened out in full blast on
Monday, August 20. The cashier,
e. H. Welch, informs us the business
for the first day was largely in excess
of expectations. The bank officers
think they have the finest money
chest and time lock in the state-one
of Diebold's latest patent-and when
they get into their new building,
think they will have as good protec-
ton as to be found anywhere.
One ofIour city butchers knocked a
beef down in front of the bank build
ing yesterday. The case appears on
the mayors records as Wright VS..
Gardella, five dollars and costs.
A fire originated this morning in a
pile of hay on the railroad platform.
The fire boys turned out promptly and
subdued the flames without any
serious damage except to the hay.
Had it not been for our water works
a serious fire for Taylor would have
to be recorded, as the lumber yards of
the city were near.
F. D. Welch. of the First National
Bank of Mckinney, is prospecting at
Taylor, and visiting his brother, g. H.

A Local Peace.Maker.

When the two colored men had the
fight the other day in front of the
Iron Front, a leading college profess
sor of the city undertook to separate
them, remembering that there used to
be an ordinance in Austin that made
it the duty of good citizens to inter-
fere in the interest of peace in such
affairs. The professor did not know
that the ordinance aforesaid had been
repealed. If the professor had re-
manned quiet spectator the men
would have succeeded in demolishiDg
the millinery show case that stands on
the sidewalk at that place. A repor-
ter interviewed the professor yeSter-
day and he remarked he was in deep
regret over the part he had taken in
the matter, for his efforts had caused
a great deal of damage to several per-
sons. First there would have been a
job for cabinet maker in fixing up
the demolished showcase; his efforts
threw a glazier out of a iob-the put
ting in of the new glass; the painter
also lost the work of painting, and
the loss to these several parties made
the professor very sad. He added he
would never act as peace-maker
again.

Your "Hepatozone" as a gentle

the bowels without making the pa
tient feel sick, weak or languid. 1t
is often the case that we feel a little

cine for that condition. l relieved a
