PROF. DAMOS.

Yesterday Professor Adolphus +.
Damos, Col. Leaders candidate for
comptroller, severed his connection
with the newspaper business, for the
present, in order to devote his entire
time to the management of his inter-
ests in the coming campaign. 1t is
understood that the republican con-
vention of Travis county will pass re-
solution endorsing Prof. Damos' candi-
dacy, and in event it is decided by the
state executive committee of the par
ty to hold a state convention, there is
little doubt but that a solid Damos
delegation will go up from Travis.
There is one thing certain, and that is
that no more suitable man for the
high Office to which the professor as
pires could be found in the ranks of
the republican party in Texas. In
fact, he is typical republican. His
motto is to secure everything in sight,
and look out for more.
In national affairs the professor is
entirely in harmony with the platform
Of the "bone-hunter," as enunciated
at Chicago. He is more thoroughly
versed upon the subject of the tariff
than any man, perhaps, in his party,
Judge Rector not excepted. On the
matter of national banks, his conduct
yesterday showed him to be thorough

Billeisen is reported to have demur-

one of the party had emptied his plate
into one of the glasses of milk on the
table. Some remarks also passed as
to the freshness of the milk. Billeisen
was knocked down, and, upon regain

with a dish by Rousseau. Billisen is
German, a very slender man, and is

A FATAL RAILWAY ACCT
DENT.

About o'clock yesterday morning,
the west-bound passenger train on
the Austin & Northwestern railroad
ran over and killed Sukey Brachter, a
middle aged negress, at point twelve
miles from Austin. She was deaf, and
was walking on the track at the time.
The engine was reversed, and every
effort made to stop the train, but
without avail, as the cars were on
the down grade. The woman's
remains were strewn along the track
for a distance of one hundred and
thirty yards, and were so horribly
mutilated as to be entirely beyond re-
cognition.
Justice Won Rosenberg was notified
of the accident. and, after empannel-
ing jury in the city, repaired to the
scene The jury of inquest returned
a verdict in accordance with the facts
generating the railway company
from any blame in the premises.
The remains were inferred yesterday
evening".
A gentleman in on the afternoon
train reports that it was stopped at
the point where the accident occurred,
by crowd of negroes, but when the
circumstances were explained to them
they made no further demonstration.

His two works on "Mensuration" and
Analytical Geometry" are used as

Yale and the higher public schools Of
New Jersey and Massachusetts,. We
are informed by Mr.. Wooten, who
knows him well, that Prof. Halsted is
a man of fine address, genial manners
a good speaker and withal of broad
culture and practical thought. Hi
appointment is regarded as an excel
lent selection. Prof. Halsted has al
ready signified by telegraph his &C

The fact of her death was received
with keen sorrow by all who knew

the Free Grass" city. Mr.. Dunbar
ridicules the insinuation that his COM
pany is a peculiarly northern enter
prise" and cites the fact that out Of
nearly six hundred employees not more
than seven or eight are northern men.
The controversy arises out of certain
oppressive ordinances adopted by the
Fort Worth city council against Mr..
Dunbar's company, and if the
circumstances enumerated in that
gentleman's letter are reliable, and
there is no reason to doubt them, the
mayor of Fort Worth and at least one
other member of its city council have
an immediate and financial interest
in prosecuting the Erie Telegraph and
Telephone company, they being the
leading promoters of rival concern

Dear lady, there is probably no use
telling you that fashionable life in a
great city is a rough one on your
beauty. Late hours, loss of sleep and
mental excitement will leave you by

other years. Artificial substitutes can
