PersOnal-Gould and the Santa Fe-
The Fence. Cutters.


Special TO the Gazette.
San Antonio, February l.-Janis
French, son of the mayor Of this city,
leaves tomorrow to assume charge of
the Presbyterian church at San Mar
cos.
II is reported here on what is deem
ed good authority that Jay Gould has
purchased IL controlling interest in the
Santa Fe railway, but the report on
one hand Is regarded as unfounded on
account of Geuld's having recently or
dered reduction of the general ex-
penses on his Texas roads. 1t is well
known that there has for some time
been serious differences among the
principal stockholders of the Santa Fe,
and this Is the only reason urged in
support of the rumOr, it being alleged
that Gould Is and has been deter
mined not to permit the passage Of the
Santa Fe road through the Indian
Territory
The ire at Uvalde night before last
destroyed only about $4,000 worth of
property. Reports from Divine sta
ton indicate that the fence-cutters'
examination progresses with marked
success.

the Sunset railway ut this point, was
killed this evening. Nichols was
standing on the track giving direc-
lions, when the cars were separated
and his death was caused by several
ears behind him suddenly rushing
upon and crushing him from his hips
down into a mass of bones and JULY.
After being crushed, he threw up one
arm and raised his head and ex.
claimed: This is the last time, boys,'
when he died.
There have been criminal charges
against certain employees of the road 4,
which will likely excite much inter
est based on this accident. The case
is one which will invite the attention
of the courts to an extreme degree.

The Decline Of the Dude.

Speaking generally, the dude has gone,
writes New York correspondent. His
days are over forever, and he is a ghost Of
the silly past. The dude proper is seldom
seen abroad nowadays. He became met
ropolitan nuisance and was suppressed. He
vas singular sort Of fungus at best. He
grew up and fourished in day and was
stamped out of existence at the end of the
season. There was nothing about the dude
that appealed to ones admiration. He was
not pleasant to look at he was always bony,
and thin and sallow ; and there was about
him an aroma Of cheap paper cigarettes. A
certain morbid curiosity was sometimes en-
gendered by the spectacle Of dudes legs,
but when one had carefully looked them
over, they we're found not to vary. The
legs of one dude we're like those of any
other dude. How limbs SO utterly thin,
flimsy and unstable as the legs Of the aver
age dude were ever allowed to walk abroad
in the world is still mystery. The short
drab overcoats, which were once the dudes
glory and pride, have been dyed or made in
to Office jackets. The wide collars are turn
ed into cuffs. voluminous trousers have sue
ceeded the pipestem brand, and the tooth
pick shoes have gradually grown wider At
the toes. until they present comfortable
