ton about the successful building Of
the Gulf Il Pacific Railroad. The
$4,000 subsidy asked Of Dallas has
been practically secured, and Judge
Burke SO telcgraphcd the syndicate at
New York. 1t IL understood that on
Saturday last quarter of million
dollars were paid into the con-
struction company of this road, and
contracts will be let next week and
dirt will fly, and the road will be built
as rapidly as railroads can be built.
No matter what the Texas Trunk
Railroad Company does the Gulf 4
Pacific will go right ahead. Mr.. LOU
gee, prominent attorney of New
York, is in the city, and there is talk
of consolidation. There is to be an
informal meeting to-day at the Grand
Windsor Hotel, and this matter will be
tulkcd over, and they will probably

piled he was in great trouble and his
mind was IN u chaotic condition, and
plucking the reporter by the
sleeve said that he didn't
mind telling us, because the Fort

the weight of his daughter. She did
not weigh 100 pounds but 100 pounds
but to the old mans story. lie says
that Oh the 10Th of November Reu-
ben Bower, a young man about 20
years of age, stole his daughter, Mat
tie Geneva Joplin, y years of age, and
carried her to the parson, Rev. Mr.
Martin, who duly married them; and
then began systematic course
of hiding out, and vigorous
hunt on the part of the aged parent.
AS fast as he tracked them to one
place they had secured another. He
heard of them being secreted about
fifteen miles from Dallas, and he was
here, still in pursuit, and intended to
continue it until he found them and
until the law was satisfied.
l.. L. Joplin is the old gentleman's
