DOCTOR CARROLL.

Baptists.

He viii Decline the Call OF the San Antonio
Baptists.
Mention was made some days since of
call from the congregation of the First
Baptist church of this city upon Rev.
b. ii. Carroll, d. d., of Waco. 1t has
been rumored here that he had positively
declined, but the following from the
Waco Day Of the 9TH, shows that he has
not yet replied. The remarks are from
an interview with the Waco Day repor-
ter: "Tbe truth Is l have not yet re-
piled to the letter from San Antonio. l
intend to do so, however, at once. 1t Is
compliment that appreciate and 1
expect will go down to San Antonio
and preach one sermon to the brethren
there. They are happily reunited and
l want to see them started out right and
bid them God speed. But while have
not yet told them whether will accept
or decline their invitation, think can
say to you that 1t is hardly probable
will leave my Waco people," Could
Doctor Carroll be prevailed upon to ac-
cept the call he would prove valuable
acquisition to San Antonio. From the
above clipping 1t will be seen that
Doctor Carroll proposes visiting San
Antonio at an early day, and will ill the
pulpit OF the Baptist church while here.

Battle OF Amazons.

A rich scene was witnessed by those
who were In the vicinity of the tooth
pnllers tent on Losoya street yesterday
afternoon. Some three or four German
girls and as many oolored girls, became
engaged in pitched battle and fought
and scratched until the crowd had
reached Houston street. Some hard
blows were exchanged and the clothing
OF several of the participants suffered
considerably. No policeman was about
to stop the battle and it ragged until the
Amazons were tired out.
