DALLAS, March 28.-From special
inquiry in regard to the coming sea-
sons crop, it is learned that the condi-
lions were never more satisfactory at
previous corresponding dates. Corn is
all planted and most Of it up and look
ing well and oats, wheat and other
small grain are in fine condition.
The area of grain in
cultivation is estimated at
from 20 to 30 per cent. greater than
any previous year. All farm labor is
fully up, and no branch backward
The weather has been all that could
be desired to allow the work of farm
ers and planters TO be thoroughly pros
ecuted. There has been just a sulli-
cheney of rainfall, and the soil has
been kept in splendid condition. Cot
ton planting is well advanced.
Nearly all of it will be finished
by April 10th or 18th. The
bad weather of two weeks ago
injured fruit prospects greatly, but
there are still enough blossoms on the
trees to insure a well matured crop
under continued favorable conditions.
The foregoing statements are endorsed
by leading planters, farmers and men,

DALLAS, March 2S.-PreSldent Up
penheimer. of the Dallas Merchants
Exchange. on the solicitation of many
businessmen to-day called general
mass-u Rfng of the citizens at the
exchaln for Monday at 3p. m, to
discuss and take tangible action upon
several subjects regarded as of vital
Importance to the commercial and
general welfare of the city. The
most prominent topics to engage the
attention of the meeting will be
to take steps for the construction
of a line of railway northw' It from
here to Grapevine, and also from Dali
las northeast to GreenYille via Rock
well. The Importance of impressing
on the Texas Trunk railway manage
ment the necessity of extending that
line from its present terminus at
Kemp, fifty miles southwest from
Dallas, on towards Sabine Pass. at
least as far as the Long
Loaf pine region, the present
season will also be considered. The
present waking up to the situation, as
stated above, is caused by the wide
awake efforts of Fort Worth in look
ing after her material interests in
these directions. 1t is an emit rgency
that the thoughtful citizens of Dallas
realize must be met at once and in a
practical and tangible manner.

SAN SABA.

Special Telegram to The Statesman.
SAN SABA, March 2S.-I notice in
the News of yesterday a special from
Brownwood stating that telegram
had been received at that place from
an official of this county that fifty
men were on their way to liberate
man named Blevens, now in the
Brownwood Jail for horse stealing.
This statement is false, as far as re-
lates to this county. The telegram
was sent from this place, but it was
sent to Judge Blackburn by the coun-
ty Judge of Llano county, and Judge
blackburn certainly knew that the
party sending it was no official of this
county. The people of this county
have no interest in the welfare OF the
man Blevens; neither have any steps
been taken by citizens of this county
to liberate him. Our people are law
abiding, and the majority have no de-
sire whatever to shield violators of
the law. Blevens is resident of
LlanO county.

Railroad MaSheuts-A Slick Dodge
| Special Telegram to The Statesman.
DALLAS, March 29.-The east bound
train on the Texas and Pacific, due
here this morning at six o'clock, was
eight hours late. The cause of delay
was the great washouts on the South.
ern Pacific, west of Ell Paso. a rain.
falli occurred Thursday, and washed
away track in several places. One OF
the washOutS is reported to be -four
miles long. Trains will be delayed
several days.
A gang of sharpers attempted to
work all the banks in the city to-day,
and also the Houston 81 Texas Central
office, by presenting one hundred dol
lar bills, asking change in gold coin of
two dollars and two and half dollar
pieces, aud then asking to be permitted
to take $50 bills for one half the gold
coin-the sharp adroltly slipping half
the coin in his pocket, then shoVes the
$50 bill and $50 in coin hack and
requests to exchange for one
hundred dollars, attempting to
confuse the teller in making change
during rush of customers. Then,
when requested to return the gold put
in his pocket, he goes into another
pocket and produces counterfeit coin,
begging pardon for having forgotten
that he had pocketed $50 of the origi
nal gold. The result is that the bogus
gold is worked off on the bank and
the genuine gold retained, and chances
are that the banker hands back good
one hundred dollar bill for the
counterfeit original. The gang, in
Paris, visited five banks, and the
Texas Central simultaneously, but
only worked two of the banks. The
police have been after them since the
occurrence, but up to tonight have
effected no capture. The gang are
believed to be the same that recently
worked the banks at Macon, Ca, for
several hundred dollars.
