His Eirst Aitemnt.

Judge q. n. Aldridge, who is a Judge
In the true sense of the word, sits on the
bench with becoming dignity, and to see
him, one would never think that there
was anything that would ruflle for a
moment his equanimity or Illustrate
him in the least; but when it deyolved
upon him to tie the nuptial knot yester-
day, the first he ever did, he was CON-
pietely, to use slang phrase, stampeded.
Mr. f. Nj. Williams having gained the
heart of Miss Il. Il. McAdams, a Young
lady, OF prepossessing appearance, de-
sired that Judge Aldridge should wed
them, and with license in hand he
marched into the District courtroom
with his intended and made known the
cause of their call. In the meantime all
the employees about the courthouse had
"caught on" and went to see
the marriage. Such an audience as this
appeared to add to the embarrassment.
The couple stood up with Joined hands,
and when his Honor essayed the cere-
mony in the excitement of the moment
he asked in determined voice: equity,
or not guilty?" Both bowed assent, and
recovering himself he pronounced them
man and wife. The happy pair enioved
1t, the audience enioyedit it, but the Judge
taking the bench again overruled the
motion of r. Combs, charged with steal
ing, for new trial.

The Post has it from the best authority
that Col. Booth will make his formal an
nouncement as a candidate for seat in
the next Texas Legislature, as soon as
he gets the press of business off his
hands, growing out of his being one of
the sub-commissioner to the New Or
leans Exposition, which will require
some six weeks or two months time
yet. The people of Wise County are as
well acquainted with the Colonel as they
are with the Post, hence, any play it
might make on words in the waV of
commendation Of him would, no doubt.

A SWEDISH STORY.
DO YOU LOVE ME TRULYP
\ Homely Tragedy that Puts to the Test
the Efforts of HOwells and
Henry James "A Startling
But True Story, Etc.

John Dunn, Swede, died at the city
hospital last night of typhoid fever. lie
came to this country some eight months
ago from his native land and located in
this city, where he found employment rs
man-servant. Subsequently, he was
employed as laborer on the addition
being built to Sanger Bros. store
and was injured by falling
piece of timber. He was young man
of steady habits and saved his hard
earnings for a purpose dearer to himself
than his own life. When he sailed for
the United States he left behind him his
betrothed, a blue-eyed maiden, Amanda
Johnston. After his arrival he laid aside
sum sufficient to pay her passage to
this country, and she arrived
here three weeks ago to
find him at the hospital sick with ty-
phoid fever and penniless, for he had
her over the ocean that separated them.
She was full of grief on finding him in
such a condition, but told him she would
| go to work and do all she could to al
leviate his sutierings. She cannot speak
a word of English, but Mr.. j. w. Webb,
who heard the story from others, en-
ployed her as servant girl. Last night
her lover for whom she had forsaken
parents, friends and home, breathed his
last, and when she heard it her grief
knew no bounds. Though she is in a
strange land she is among those who
will be her friends for she has the SYM
pathy of all who know her sad story

A. Stratton of California, and valuable
papers on fruits were read by

quet given upon the magnificent
grounds of the Pullman Palace Car COM
pany were \. IL. Albaugh, of Ohio; w.
c. Barry, of New York; Orange Judd, of
Chicago, and eX-Gov. Norman Coleman,
of st. Louis. The various essayists,
speakers, etc., acquitted themselves
nobly and reflected credit upon their
States, so we learn from st. Louis and
Chicago papers.
1t is with pleasure we learn that, when
the choice of locality for holding the
next convention was in order, the glOries
and claims of Texas were set forth by j.
h. Johnson, of Dallas, Vice-P President
for Texas, and DIR. John f. Ennis, of
Chicago, land agent of the Gould sys-
tenn. The latter stated that system of
roads would offer transportation to dele
gates at half fare, if the body would only
convene in Dallas, Texas next wear,
and that, though the membership num-
| bered 400, free excursions would be got
ten up for them to Austin, Galveston,
and out upon the boundless prairies ira
versed by the Texas IL Pacific. The
selection being referred to an electoral
body composed Of the seventeen vice
presidents present, the vote stood, 5 for
Chicago, H., 5 for Dallas, Tex, 4 for
Kalamazoo, Mich, 2 for Dayton, o., and
for Baltimore, Md. Dallas and Chicago

The cotton crop in this county is back
ward, but the prospect is by no means
discouraging. The acreage is larger
than was ever before planted, and so far
as we have been able to learn, after dill
gent inquiry and some observation,
very little Of it has been "turncd out"
The weather for the past twenty dav has
been favorable to The growth OF the
plant, and it has come out immensely.
II is now Just in condition to grow finely.
With anything like n favorable season, n
fine crop is assured. At this day it is
impossible to determine absolutely the
fate of the crop, but the outlook is far
more promising than great many be
lievc. With another rain or two the
corn crop will be simply immense; with
no more rain, scarcely u Suilicicncv for
home consumption will be made. Com
pared with 1881, this year beats il three
to one. Clarksvillc Times.

There is no clue as to whose body it is

river Monday morning, near Leltwichs

known no effort is being made to ferret
out who it is or the cause of his DEATH
AS stated in yesterdays HERALD his
feet were tied with a hempen string and
his neck broken, which gives
it the coloring of II lynching. The
case ought to be thoroughly Investigated.
The good name of Dallas and Dallas
county demands it. His broken neck, his
feet being tied and his pockets being
turned wrong side out all goes to show
that there was foul play. Mr.. j. w.
Goodwin, who resides on Harwood
street, has been missing for a week or
more and his friends are very much en-
ercised by his mysterious disappear
ance.
LATER-The friends of Mr.. Goodwin
are Of the belief that it is his body. As
the body was so decomposed as to defy
recognition, the only hope ofidentifying
him is by gold shirt stud he wore, and
the remains will be eXhumed to-day fol
the purpose. 1t is known that he and his
wife have quarreled of late and have vir
tually been separated. The supposition is
now that he committed suicide, though

There is scarcely doubt but that tho
body is that of Goodwin. He was for

YESTERDAY MORNINGS FIRE.
Mrs. Petrie's Residence on San Jacint
street Consume SCARCITY of Wafer.

Mrs. Petrie's Residence on San Jacinto
street d-scarcity of Water.
An alarm Of fire was sounded from
the down town engine house yesterday
at l0:30, occasioned by the burning of
the residence and clubhouse of Mrs.
Charles Pehie, on San Jacinto street,
just east of the Houston e Texas Central
Railway track. The fire department
responded promptly, and though the
dwelling and house, one-story frames,
were consumed by the time the engine
began to throw water, they did good SER
vice i'll protecting adjacent property.
The dwelling was occupied as a family
residence by Mr.. William Gregory, and
the house adjacent in the same yard by
Mrs. Petrie. The fire originated
firm defective flue and
the flames spread so rapidly
that Dir iregory, with the assistance Of
his ne. b Jors, succeeded in saving only
a few y. his household goods. Mrs.
Petrie, who was absent from home, lost
everything she had. Mr.. Gregory's loss
Will foot up about 300, and Mrs. Petrie's,
counting her houses and household
goods, will approximate $1,000 SO far
as could be ascertained there is not any
insurance on any of the property. The
engine, which drew water from the plug
on San Jacinto street, one block west of
the railway track, threw very poor
stream. 1t was one-third mud, and it
looked as though there was scarcity of
water at that point.
