\ CONSOLIDATION.
The Evening journal was swallowed
to-day by the Times, and that sheet will
hereafter dll the place of both. This
strikes the casual observer as good
move on the part Of the managers of the
two papers, as there were too many at
tcrnoon papers in the city for any OF
them 20 do very much good. The Times
Is now In the hands OF financially
strong and thoroughly organized stock
company, composed of more thnn fifty of
the leading business men of Dallas, and
there is plenty of money already in
the treasury TO insure It's success,
as far as money can do so. The journal
had very large circulation which, added
to that of the Times, Will make its circu-
lation more than Ave times that of any
other evening paper in the city. w. G.. |

the new deal.
