Gazette Special. -
DALLAS, November 22.-There is
very little doubt that the Herald an d
the News have arrived at mutually
satisfactory understanding and that
they will form union about the
first of December. There has been a
rumor ailoat to that effect for several
days, and the matter has been pretty
generally discussed. Colonel Belo
left for Galveston last night and Mr..
Lowe is already there.
Mr.. Doremus, the acting managing
editor of the News, positively
declined to make any comment upon
about the matter. Mr.. pfouis pos.
itively denies IT, Major Elliott
and Mr.. Hall are less definite. The
notice 80 long standing in the Herald
n to the arrival of "Dew machinery,
type, etc." is now significantly with
drawn, and ii is said that the order
has been countermanded,
Ii is said that Mr.. Pfouts will retire
from the newspaper business entirely,
taking his share in cash. but Mr.. Hall
and Major Elliott take their share in
stock OF the News.
1t is understood that the name OF
the Herald will not figure in the uni.
ted papers The News will simply
gobble up Aunt Elizabeth, and the old
lady will drop out of existence. The
matter has been pretty extensively
discussed by the newspaper men and
printers, a number of whom will be
thrown out of work by the change.

GALVESTON, November 23 yellow
fever rumors were flying and forebod-
ing to-day. On the 18th instant the
British steamship Wivenhoe, Clark,
master, arrived in the outer harbor,
In ballast from Kingston, Jamaica.
Her captain told the health officer
who boarded her, that on the 9th in.
slant, three DAYS after leaving ia
maica, one of his sailors had died
from fever and was buried at sea the
same dap. Captain Clark said the
sailor began to complain the first day
out from Kingston and died after an
illness of three days, and he feared
that the sailor had died from yellow
fever, but could not state positively
as 10 the nature of the disease.
DIR. Blunt, quarantine officer, placed
the Wivenhoe in quarantine where
she lay until the 10th instant, when
she was released by order of the
state health officer, DIR. Swearingen,
who had been appoised of the death
at sea. There being no further signs
of fever on board ship she came in
and berthed at the new wharf, last
Monday evening. Next day she be-
gan loading with cotton
On the 18th inst, two days after her
arrival In port, one of her seamen
complained of fever, aud the physi-
clan in attendance treated him for or
binary fever, but the patient growing
no better, ON Saturday last Captain
Clark concluded to call in the health
officers, and accordingly on Sunday
DR.. Blunt and City Physician Cook,
proceeded quickly to the steamer and
thoroughly examined the sick mau.
No one knew of this examination
until to-day, when it got nolsed
abroad that both of these experienced
ply sicians agreed that the patient
was suffering from wcll-developed
case OF yellow fever aud was in pre-
carious condition. AS soon as these
facts became known, the vessel was
unmoored and all communication
with her prohibited. Owing to low
water in the bay the big steamer
could not reach quarantine grounds,
until to-day, where she now lies with
the yellow flag floating from her
mast head

ing ON n Mallory Steamer.
GALVESTON, November 23.-The
startling news was received in this
tonight by prominent insurance
houses, that the Mallory steamship,
Rio Grande, which sailed hence for
New York on Friday evening last,
arrived at Key West, Fla, this even
ing with her cargo burning iierce.y.
This means a heavy loss to the Ma.
rine Insurance companies, most of
whom are foreign corporations. The
Rio Grande is one CT the staunchest
ships in the Mallory fleet. She is AN
iron built steamer of 2,04S tons bur-
den, aud was built by John
Roach aud sons, at Ches-
ter, Pa, about six years ago.
Her cargo consisted of 1900 bales
cotton, mostly consigned TO Liver
pool houses. Besides this cotton she
carried goodiy quantity of other
freight, Including several hundred
sacks of oil cake. How the fire orig
mated, or in what portion OF her hold
| il is raging, cannot be learned to-
night, but 1t is generally admitted by
experienced shippers that the proba'
bilities are that the vessel will be ru
ined, as the heat from such large
quantity of cotton will warp her sides
aud perhaps burst her open before the
fire can be quenched Insurance mer
here value her cargo at $250,0OO; in
surcd for about S20O,OOO. A copy o
her manifest is not obtainablc TO
night but the following shippers had
cousipuments on board:

in the rooms of Otto MatOback, on

ment at No. 404, East sixty-Fourlh

communicated to The floors above,

while the liremen were fighting the
flames. This was not an easy task, IL
