DETAILS OF THE FIRE.
Mr.. Dave Speelmsn Is the night watch
man at the MILL His story IL that about
ESQ o'clock he m do his regular tour OF
the mill and saw that everything waa all
right. He then went 10 his room and sat
down and began reading paper.
Shortly before three o'clock he dei etted
the od0r OF smoke and started toward
tho boiler room, where he was met by o
bright blaze, which shot up from the
room and was licking its way toward
the rotary boiler room. Running to the
hose, connected with tho water works
and laid through the mill, he tried to
turn the water on, but was prevented by
the heat. lie then ran TO FIRE alarm box
No. 4, nj the corner OF Navarro aud Plum
streets and sounded the alarm.
The alarm was turned In at three
minutes past three O'Clock. The steamer
hook and ladder truck and hose compan-
lea Nos. 3, 0 and responded promptly
10 the alarm, but when they arrived, ow'
ing 10 the iDnammable nature OF the
contents OF the mill, II was beyond hope
Of being saved. They worked heroic
ally, however, and saved the bleach
house, Immediately northwest OF
the mill and the wareroom. at
the northeast end OF tho mill. The
flames we're conGued to the rooms con.
taining the rotary and rag engines and
machinery on the lrst floor and the rag
and finished stock store room on the
second floor. AT $50 o'clock the frs was
virtually out, and the "out alarm WAS
sent In.
ALMOST A FATAL ACCIDENT.
About 4,30 o'clock one OF the south
walls threatened TO fall and the liremen
began pushing II In with n ladder,
When " fell q portion of The walleagged
out and fell toward the fremen. The
latter had TO run for their lives. All
escaped except John Eby, Engineer
George Wolf and Frank Plero. Some OF
the bricks struck these three, breaking
one OF Eby's legs, crushing o foot for
Wolf and badly bruising Pero's legs,
The nremen throughout did fearless
and able work and deserve great COM
mendation for their untirlng work. The
steamer had two streams and the hose
companies one stream each playing on
the flames.

ing no experience of my own, my

myself vanquished, notwithstand-
ing the sentiments set forth in the
opening of this history, to which l
still endeavor to cling. No one who
saw them together could question
the celestial origin of their pro-
posed union. Agnes Inman in her
school days, and in all our later
knowledge of her, was never so in
teresting, so capable of devotion as
now. Married by her fathers choice
when she had hardly grown to a
knowledge of her needs and capac-
tiles, to a man of easy good nature
and little depth, her years exper-
fence had hardly stirred her nature;
until sorrow, that master workman
in our characters, had come to her,
and soon after came the child. Then
she began to feel what life was and
what it could bring. At last it
brought to her Tom himself, whose
"reminiscences of olden times seem
ed hardly more tenacious than hers.
And while | was with them (no
hindrance to their happy TALK and
saw them weave together the hith-
erto parted strands of their lives by
many little, well remembered links,
it seemed quite evident that equally
to both the spring time had begun.

tionally pleasant to Thomas and

WHO STOPPED DOWN.

Old Hannah was hanging a wet
shirt across the clothes line in the
back yard. Raj had hooked a fiery
untamed billygaot and tied him up
in the COW shed with a rope. He
wanted TO keep him tied up until
he got used to the place, and then
use him for a horse 10 draw a mini
ature tallyho. The goat didn't like
the surroundings, and while Raj
was hunting for an old hustle for
him to chew, he knawed the rope
in two which held him a prisoner.
Raz's ma was hanging up clothes
and singing,
II wuz sick, an weak, an weary"
Just then she stopped to pick out
another shirt to hang upon the line.
The goat was loo.c-hc was on the
war-path, and Hannah was in the
path The goat saw her, and put
ting all the powerof a loose locomo-
tive into his head, backbone and
hind legs, he reared up, yelled once
and made a terrific dive at the big
end of the object leading over the
basket, and went ON out through
the side alley into the street. The
lines stretched across the yard, crack
ed like whip-lashcs when they let

A watch rhiek.

John Conner appeared before County
Judge Bower yesterday upon the charge
OF stealing watch from an old German,
in East Dallas, some time ago. From
the testimony, it appears that the Teu-
ton possessed a watch which he desired
TO dispose of; he wanted 50 for the chro.
nometer. Common told him he thought
that he could sell It at that price ii IL
was entrusted to his care. The watch
was handed him for the purpose, bat
was subsequently returned with the
statement thatit could not be bargained
of. Afterward, however, Conner re-
turned TO the old German, told him ne
had sure sale, aud again secured the
watch. This time he escaped through
the rear door OF a"diven aud did not ap-
pear again. lie was arrested under the
charge Of THEFT and yesterday pleaded
guilty. His punishment was assessed
by Judge Bower at II months impris-
onment on the poor farm and a iine Of
$3.50.

from $4,000 to 1900 bales. Paroles with

1.-THE volume of business done by any
retail concern in the state is an indication
or forerunner of solidly-establisbo
trade, or great factor in determine.
who is to lead in certain branches, we
can safely assert that Reinhardt, the
clothier, is the coming man.
The amount of clothing, hats and
furnishing goods sold by this house since
February is something fabulous. Fo'
some days the throng of customers has
been so great as to require police force
at the doors of the concern so as to avoid
overcrowding. Reinhardt has still
some $4,000 worth of slightly eoiled
and damaged goods left and they
must be sold, whether at 50
cents, 40 cents or less on the
dollar, preparatory to the reopening
of their entirely new stock. Every pur-
chaser at this popular house is really
San adve. yseI,' not only as to bargains,
but as to sterling integrity and fair
dealing me ed out alike to ali its pat
rons. 1t needs no prophet to foretell
that Reinhardt is now and will remain
the leading clothier of Dallas, and those
who need mems and children s clothing
or anything in that line are undutiful
OF their interests il they do not step In
to $50 and $50 Elm street, Crowdus' old
stand, and get real, genuine live bar
gains.
