DALLAS 1EA., Aprll 2u.-Mr. Cllnt
few days ago declared his de-
termination OF enforcing the Sunday
law. Under the old charter the city
passed an ordinance requiring ali bus
mess to be suspended on Sunday be-
tween o'clock In the morning and 4
O'Clock in the evening. The state did
not interfere and the ordinance was
generally agreed to. Under the amend

town as far rs changing juriesr was
concerned, and his step in
the present direction is calcu-
lated 10 yank us out Of wickednees into

shock our whole physical systems. He
has given due notice Of his intentions
and will further point out the particu-
lar Sunday on which he will require
an observance of the law. In other

The new city administration was
indicted into officeto.day. Mr.. Brown,
the newly elected mayor, made briet
speech in which he said he would not
outline any policy. The custom OF the
retiring mayor was to write up
messages much in the style OF Thomas

shown no disposition or desire to follow
in the footsteps OF his predecessor. The
retiring mayor, Cabell, was presented
with silver tea-set and an ice-pitcher.

shall by Gen. Maxey, he will have a
good place, and dishes are already
given him for the immense eating he
is TO have for the next two years.
The postofiice excitement has about
died out. II Ia conceded that Mr.. John
Cochran will be the man. Mr.. Coch.

ton is that he has ever been q
staunch friend Of Senator Coke and
he always came at the sound
of Wellborn's horn, No man was
more faithful to the latter than Mr..
Cochran. Mr.. Cochran lives about
six or seven miles ia the country. His
friends say he lives only five miles
from town, while those opposing his
nomination declare it longer dis
lance. 1t is not thought the tape line
will be brought into requisition to set
tie the matter.
