BALTIMORE, June 1S.-The Sun has
the following from Hagerstown,
Maryland: Mr.. Henry Onderdork, OF
the College Of st. James, has received
the following from Panama, which,
he thinks, demonstrates that the
United States Is not feared
by the South American States:
"rhere are rumors," writes
Mr.. Onderdonk's informant, "that
Ecuador has made an alliance with
Chilli to back up Ecuador in the San
tos case. To-day Gillian men-of-war
are plying the Ecuadorian seas. The
celebrated Esmeralda is at Guayaquil,
they say, with the same purpose.
They say here that Trey will have a
picnic with the American wooden
men-of.war."
Commenting on these rumors, an
other letter received by Mr.. Onder-
donk says:
"Camans has answered Flores, the
Ecuadorian minister at Washington,
that he will not release Julio, unless a
formal guarantee is written down OF
all this. Remberg Informs the State
Department. by to,day's mail and adds
that energetic action should be taken"

An Incident.

An apt and pretty incident is worthy
of relation to the people of Dallas. In
the month of April the death OF Mr..
Isaac Naylor, of Galveston, was an
nounced. Knowing that he had been
mayor of Dallas in 1858, Mayor Brown.
who has collected much material for a
local or municipal history of our city,
wrote the family of Mr.. Naylor, re-
questing his photograph and brief
mention of his birth, marriage, death,
etc. On the 10Th instant his son,
8. w. Naylor, who must be
almost a youth, responded
by forwarding the photo
graph and stating that his father "was
born in Morgan County, Ohio, July l.,
1924; came TO Texas in the autumn Of
1861; married Henrietta, daughter IF
Z. s. Wood, OF Galveston, September
i5, 1858, aud died in Galveston April
Is, 1885," The son then ADDS: "His
life was especially that OF a students;
life, the incidents OF which, are
rather to be treasured in the memory
OF the intimate few than recorded for
perusal." This is certainly as touch
ing tribute from youth to diseased
father as could be couched in words so

ImproYement Notes.

Messrs. Doran Bros, later in the sea-
son, intend TO erect the finest private
market-house in the state, at the juno.
ton of Live Oak and Elm streets, 8
central and beautiful location.
CASTOR avenue, connecting the city
proper with and through East Dallas
after some grading and bridge over
Mill creek, is one of the finest thor
oughfares of which Dallas can boast.
Its Improvement is due to private en-
terprise in East Dallas.
Elm street, from the river east, is
two and quarter miles long, and has
business house $, with some intervals
the whole distance. Has any other
city in Texas thoroughfare to sur
pass IL? Ross street, though chiefly
devoted to residences, is longer, while
Live Oak, branching from Elm, ex
tends as far to the northeast, all three
being ghways of constantly increas-
ing wealth and Importance.
The recent extension of Harwocd
street south, beyond the corporate
limits, and connecting with cross
streets from Ervay, Snodgras and
Aksrd, gives that central highway a
length from northwest to southeast of
over two miles.

During the week the street force
have graded Corsicana from Browder
to Ervsy street, Browder from Canton
to Cadiz street, Cadiz from Browder
to Akard, Polk from Browder to Ervay
street, opened cutters on Hawkins
from Live Oak to Swiss street, put
drain box at Ervay and Canton streets
and crossing on Texas street, and
have filled numerous bad holes in va
rious streets. For two or three Gays
they have been and still are engaged
in exhuming old drain boxes and put
ting in vitrified clay pipe drains in adj
vance of the paving force on Elm be-
tween Pearl and Preston streets,
which, with similar pipe in the
alley between Main and Com
MERGE, west of Preston, will
effectually drain that important local
ity. Mayor Brown greatly regrets the
inability to increase this efficient force
for two or three months, as in that
time every street could be put In reas-
onably good condition for both use and
drainage. AS it is, the small force en-
ployed is doing excellent work, labor
ing as industriously as il the men
were working for their private benefit.
A frst-class bridge has heen COM
pleted on Akard Street across Mill
Greek, and the approaches on both
sides are being raised by trimming
down the hill beyond. This is on the
Oldest outlet south from the city and has
been long demanded, but the increased
population in the northern suburbs
render it more essential than ever be-
fore.

During the week number of impOr-
tent localities have, for the first time,
metamorpbosed into pleasantplaces for
pedestrians by the erection of good
sidewalks.
Therp is manifested also, as Mayor
Brown assures the reporter, a far more
liberal spirit among property owners,
TO aid in opening and widening streets,
for this purpose setting their fences in
ward so as to afford uniformity ana
good width in sidewalks. He says he
finds very liberal spirit in this direc-
ton, and that about every man he has
approached ON the subject promptly
agreed to suggestions looking to such
desirable ends. When convinced of a
general result in given locality or
street they yield cheerfully in its aid.
A splendid sidewalk is being made
in front OF the hospital on both Lamar
and Columbia streets.
The pavement on Elm street, since
the rains ceased, is progressing rapidly,
giving employment to large number
Of men and teams. That great thor
oughfare will soon be solid bois dare

The graveling o. Eryay street, from
Commerce street north to Mill creek,
is also rapidly progressing.

The Coming Texas a st. Louis Sale


WACO, June 1S.-ISpecial. 1T is
about month ago that Colonel j. w
Parramora, president of the Texas d
st. Louis Railroad, came to Waco, &C
companied b. Messrs. r. @. Kerens
and j. A. Mcclure, bond holders o.
said road. They were here several
days, and their work was to prepare q
bill in equity, in the nature OF an in
PREVENTION in the suit of the Central
Trust Company. of New York, against
the Texas & st. Louis Railroad in
Texas lin which decree OF foreclos-
urs had already been entered), alleging,
in sAort, thai r. 9. KeIens was first
mortgage bonhclder to the amount OF
$4,000 int road, besides owning
other securities; that the suit OF the
Central Trust Company was fraudu-
lent and collIsive, based upon a de-
fault in payment of interest due June
l, 1888, which default has never oc-
CURED; that the suit was scheme on
the part of Kuhn, Loeb IL Co., of New
York, to wreck the road and buy
1t for song; that in effectuation OF
such purpose they had caused
a large amount of receivers GER
tificates to be issued as first lien up
on the road, which certificates they
had bought up at a heavy discount
anu were uOW proPhiou w uSo az o"Sii
under the decree in buying the road ;
and praying the court for an order
suspending the sale on August 4tb,
prorimo, decreeing the first general
mortgage bonds TO be a nullity and
taxing up the amount OF the certlti-
Gates and all the costs of the suit to
the Central Trust Company. This APP
plication was set for hearing before
United States Circuit Judge Pardeee
at New Orleans, June 18TH and
came up on the 10Th. There,was a
: strong array of legal talent on each
side, for big interests were involved.
r. g. Kerens was represented by
Messrs. Chandler, OF Washington city,
and Mcclure, OF Little Rock, assisted
by Green, of New York, and Ogden, of
San Antonio. The Central Trust Com
pany was represented by Messrs.
George Clark, of Waco, and w. S.
Herndon, of Tyler. After argument
Judge Pardee refused to suspend the
sale or to make any other order in the
case, save to permit the papers to be
fled in the United States Circuit Court
at Waco and take their regular course.
This permission, so Judge Clark (who
arrived from New Orleans this morn
ing) says, does not amount to any
thing at all--the sale will take place
as ordered on August 4, at Tyler,
Texas. The result is in the nature of
q defeat for what is known as the
Paramore element in the road. Judge
Pardee told the intervenors that they
might possibly get stay of sale if they
would put up half million dollars,
cool cash, enough to run the. road for
q year, with an additional amount
sufficient to liquidate the receivers de-
bentures as they are presented for pay
mont. It is limited that Jay Gould and
friends would like to have the road. 1t
is limited, too, that Kuhn, Loeb q Co.
have the longest pole and will knock
the persimmons. Judge Clark was
asked about these matters, but was as
uncommunicative as an oyster. He
said he only knew that Colonel Hern-
don and himself had gone to New Or
leans to protect the interests OF the
Central Trust Company and had done
40.
