600 and $50, 900, and will be one of the fine.t
mercantile houses in the state, as well as A
monument to the energy and enterprise OF

The handsome three story stone building

Work onthe Merchants exchange at the
northeast corner OF Commerce and Austin
streets, will begin in the near future, when
a 10000 structure will add to the beauty Of
the city.
Mr.. A. E. Bouche has broke ground for
the erection of a two story store on the old
marble yard property at the south east
corner OF Maine and Field streets, which is
to cost Sc 800, -

years, who are in the custody of John De-
lagdo and Marie Delsgdo, his wife, Mexi-
cans, who reside four miles from
Waxahachia, in Ellis county. Il nm.
apers that Mrs. Brundage let Delagdo, who
scanned to take fancy to the children,
have them to raise, as he represe nted him
self to be wealthy and promised to
give them a good education.
Since then she has discovered that he is not
man Of means. and that he has secreted
the children, which she Is anxious to regain
possession Of. She learned that be was
about to send them to Mexico to be edu-
ca'ed In a convent, and she fears he has
done so. She wrote to the mother superior
Of the Galveston convent TO know II they
were there, and received an answer that
they were not. Delagdo she says is try.
Ing to extort money from her, and init.
mated to her, she states, that she could net
them by paying $500 for them. Judge All.

The Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe road has
issued new time card which went into

1t was, and is a much better card for Dallas
than the old one. Trains now leave Gle

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 rumor traced to reliable source Is to
the effect that arrangements have been per-
tected with the Texas & St. Louis Narrow
Gauge road to get through freight to
st. Louis, all through freight to
be transferred at McGregor, where
hosting apparatus will be erected at once,
and by a simple change Of trucks no DELAY
OF any moment will occur. 1t is understood
that this arrangement will 20 into effect the
LIST OF July. The Santa Fe and Narrow.
gauge roads have continued to fight their
way through the Gould lines, which have
heretofore cramped them.
The heavy rains of Saturday night
washed away two bents Of the bridge over
Cedar creek, four miles from the city, and
Sunday mornings tram did not reach the
city. The passengers were transferred, and
the lady passengers were brought in on
hand cars, while the male passengers footed
1t into the city. The bridge has since been
repaired.

The above feast is observed as the grand
