Dead Barber-He Charged Poisoned, but
Died of Acute Mania-Cannot Preach the
Commencement Sermon.
Houston, June S.-TSpecial. This morn
ing, in the Fifth ward barber-shop saloon,
negro barber, George Watkins who runs
the shop, was found in dying condition,
and before his death he charged that he
had been poisoned by another negro,
named Henry Clay, who had run the bar
ber-shop before Watkins took charge, ard
between whom and the deceased some
unpleasant relations existed. 1t seems that
some time ago Clay was required to vacate
the shop, which Was turned over to Wat
kins by Mr.. Sweeny. Recently Watkins
has entertained the idea that Clay was after
him to kill him, and few days ago he was
taken suddenly i'll and charged upon that
occasion that he had been poisoned by
Clay. From Watkins peculiar conduct
the citizens of the ward conclude he was
laboring under hallucination, and paid
little attention to him. When he
was found dead, however, this morning
fears began to be entertained that his sus-
piciOns OF having foul play were correct,
and an investigation OF The matter was i'm
mediately instituted by the holding OF an
inquest and post mortem examination,
after which the verdict OF the jury was that
they found the deceased to be crazy, and
that his death was caused from acute
mania.
The Rev. S. II. Werlein was an
nounced to preach the commencement
sermon at the Dallas female college,
but on account of the recent death Of one
and the very serious illness Of two other
members OF his congregation, he has felt
that he could not well be at Dallas at the
time, and has notified the president OF the
college of the fact.

Gulf. Colorado a. Santa Fe.

Every business man and property-ownel
in Dallas is anxious to know what the Gulf
Colorado e. Santa Fe railroad is going to dc
in the way of extending its northern ter
minus, and if so, whether the extension
will be from Fort Worth or Dallas. A
quiet rumor was afloat yesterday that The
line would be built from Dallas to the
northeast via Rockwell, and from that point
to either Greenville or Sulphur Springs,
and thus form connection with the Texas
e. st. Louis Narrow-gauge road. Colonel
Walter Gresham, of the road, who was IN
THE city Thursday remarked to Judge W:
B. Wright that if the city of Dallas would
guarantee the Santa Fe sum like that
they agreed 20 give the Narrow-gauge, that
the Santa Fe would agree to build via Rock
wall fifty miles or more northeast
of Dallas. As the Texas d st. Louis rail-
way has virtually forfeited all claim to the
subsidy raised, it might be well to entertain
some like proposition from the Santa Fe
road. Pursuing the course mentioned, the
road would run through one of the richest
and most fertile farming sections OF the
state, and besides il would secure to it by
its connection with the Texas d st. Louis
narrow gauge an outlet to st. Louis. The
regular field corps of the road, which is at
present, and has for some time past been
idle, are still retained, and they have in
structions to hold themselves in readiness
to move at moments warning.

Base Ball.

A few days ago the Waxahachie base ball
club invited the Blue Stocking nine OF this
city to visit them at Waxahachie and play
them game for the championship of the
two cities. The Blue Stockings promptly
accepted, and they leave on the Central
train this morning for Waxahachie, and
the game will come off to-day. The follow
ing young gentlemen compose the Blue
Stocking nine, who will 60 down Sam
Momond. catcher; Walter Mansfield,
pitcher; Frank Collins, first base; Lindsay
Martin, short stop; Albert Jack

third base; Clarence Lane, center fielder;

Walter Mansfield is captain of the nine
The boys are pretty well trained and play
an excellent game, and the Waxahachie
nine will have to do good and fast work to
beat our boys. There are few better anna
teur catchers than Sam Momond, and as a
pitcher Walter Mansfield, the captain, is
hard to beat. Lindsay Martin ranks high
as short-stop and the basemen are all au
fat. The HERALD extends its best wishes
to the young gentlemen for their success.

The following is an extract from lettes
written to the German Reformed Messen-
ger, at Chambersburg, PENN:
A BENEFACTREss.
Just open the door for her, and Mrs.
Winslow will prove the American Florence
Nightingale OF the Nursery. Of this we are
so sure, that we will teach our "Susy" to
say, "a blessing on Mrs. Wlnslow' for help
ing her to survive and escape the gripping,
colicking, and teething siege. Mrs. Wins.
lows Soothing Syrup relieves the child
from pain, and cures dysentery and diar-
rhea. 1t softens the gums, reduces intia-
infant safely through the teething period.
It performs precisely what il. processes TO
perform, every part of it..nothing less. We
have never seen Mrs. Winslow-~know her
only through the preparation Of her
"Soothing Syrup for Children Teething."

as she is, a physical saviour to the infant
