DEATH OF MRS. HoUGHToN.

Mrs. Clara Houghton, wife of Mr.. John
II. Houghton, of this city, died at $3.50
O'Clock yesterday morning at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Andrews, corner of Lavaca
and Eleventh (Mesquite) streets, from
which place the funeral will take place at
IL O'Clock Thursday morning, the 25th
inst.
Mrs. Houghton was Miss Peay, daugh-
ter of j. l.. and Josephine Peay, of Bel
ton, but formerly of Georgetown, Texas,
where, as well as here, since her marriage,
she was a recognized favorite in society,
noted for those modest but genial quail
ties which charm the social and family
circles. She had been in bad health for
several months, and her death was not
unanticipated by her, as she bore her suf-
ferings with christian fortitude. She
leaves two little children, with whom and
her husband the deepest sympathy is ex-
pressed in the whole community. In her
death Austin loses one whose span of life
was rounded with many a noble deed, and
her husband and children devoted wife
and mother.

TAKING TESTIMONY.

Attorneys were engaged yesterday in
taking the deposition of Commissioner
Walsh, of the land Office, to be used in the
suit of William d. Foster ct al. vs.. the
Texas g. Pacific Railway company ct al,
pending in the United States court at
Dallas, on transfer from the district court
of Tarrant county. This suit-which is
the original of large number of actions,
involving between two hundred and three
hundred defendants-is brought to re-
cover 800 acres of land situated
in the city of Fort Worth, and
valued at something like $1,500,oO0
or $2,OO0O0O. The Foster suit was
brought two or three years ago
and sets up claim to the Rutledge survey,
on which was afterwards located the
Childress certificate, as alleged. The
original contest is as to date and validity
of location, while under this comes issues
as to heirships and validity of deed to
transfer. Mr.. Gardner Ruggles, during
the past summer filed bill in the district
court of Tarrant county on behalf of
Martha R. Worrall ct al. VS.. W. j. Boaz ct
al, the defendants numbering 344 prop
erty owners in the city of Fort Worth,
and the issues at stake all belonging to or
growing out of the old Rutledge Chill
dress claims which, in course of time,
passed down to K. B. Daggett, and through
him to Eph Daggett, at present resident
of the Panther city.

plaitings and up the left side Of the skirt
are placed rows of the new Russian braid.
The pointed front and looped back dra-
peries are simply hemmed, while the
Jacket is stylishly finished with rows Of
the handsome braid.
A little later and wraps of heavier cloth
than that composing the dress will be in
demand, and for practical purposes and
good. style three or four models present
themselves. One il cloth visite, with
full plastron front, secured at the wrist
with an ornamental jet buckle. The
slightly flowing sleeves are t. immed with
black fur, which also forms bretelles,
reaching far below the edge Of the gar
ment, and finished with tassels Of black
plush.
Another yisite has pelerine front, Dor
dered with fur and fastened with large
buttons. The basque at the back is short,
full, and edged with band of fur. The
pelerine and plastron of drap de sole are
covered with embroidered designs in dull
jet beads.
jacket of Grape cloth has full gath
cred plastron the length of the front,
which is a short pelerine; the back has
Jacket tabs; above the coat sleeves Is a
kind of cape, in corded silk, which is
edged with black plush, and is ornamented
with jet tasses or pamphlets. The collar
and cuffs are of plush.
Very jaunty is an out of door jacket, in
Cox elastic cloth, with lapels closed In
front, with closely placed buttons and
button-holes, and trimmed with rows of
narrow braid down front, about edges, on
collar, and on cuffs.
1t is not considered in good taste TO
wear deliberately decorated bonnets when
in deep mourning, hence those most in
favor are very simply made Of crepe or OF
the dress material trimmed with crepe.
When that bonnet is left of, IL is replaced
by more ornamental affair; it may be in
silk or in crepe, but decorated with guam
titles of full jet beads, which are also
largely used to trim mourning dresses
and costumes.
George Page, colored, was sent TO the
county poor farm, by order from Judge
Breckenridge, yesterday morning.

tention is to organize cattle raising in
dustry upon grand scale in connection
with the Strengthening interests of tina t
city.
The great bulk of the pocket cutlery

STEEL Good cutlery is hand forged and
the average output per hour for good
workman is from twenty-five to forty
blades according to SIZE A good deal of
American steel is being used for this pnr-
pose. The blades are polished on walrus
hide fed with rotten stone.
The working people of Great Britain
are so compactly organized that they are
able to exact rather severe laws on en-
ployers from parliament A measure is
now before them to place employers
under greater responsibility. The Brit
ish government has sent to all European
governments to find out what laws they
have on the same subject. The French
law is the most comprehensive and severe.
Masters are responsible for injury to SER
wants and overseers and workmen are re-
sponsible for men under them. Parents
are answerable for injury to their children,
tutors to their pupils, artisans for their
apprentices, and the owners of animals
are responsible for injury done them.
The Judges administer the law consoien-
tiously and have the right to recall or
annul contracts where workmen agree to
the setting aside of this protective legis-
lation as we do under the $500 law. The
British lawmakers are considering
whether they will allow the working peo-
pie the right to sign away the benefits of
the law.

SAVED HIS LIFE.

Mr.. d. l. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave, Ky.
says he was, for many years, badly afflicted
with Phthisic, also Diabetes; the pains
we're almost uncomfortable and would some
times almost throw him into commissions.
He tried Electric Bitters and got relief
from first bottle and after taking six bot
ties, was entirely cured and had gained in
flesh eighteen pounds. Says he positively
believes he would have died, had it not
been for the relief afforded by Electric
Bitters. Sold at fifty cents bottle by
Morley Bros.

= GREER COUNTY.
SKETCH OF ITS RESOURCES AND
FUTURE PROSPECTS.

SKETCH OF ITS RESOURCES AND
FUTURE PROSPECTS,
This county, which has been but lately
organized, Tin July LAST has about 2,OOO,-
600 acres of territory and population of
only about 500 persons. Its vast area is
principally occupied by stockmen, with
cattle and other stock, which already ag-
gregate large values and in this feature.
at least, make the county one of the rich
est in Texas. AS yet but little has been
done in the way of farming, but enough
to demonstrate that the soil and agrlcul-
tural advantages are inviting to those
who prefer agricultural to pastoral pur-
suits. Corn, wheat and other cereals are
proftably cultivated, and some think that
cotton could be cultivated TO advantage.
GREER COUNTY.
The following extract, which has re-
Gently been issued by committee of citi-
zens of the county for general lntorma-
tion to the public, will be found interest
ing:
THE county being traversed by num-
Der of streams, and on account OF the
peculiar nature of great deal of the soil
