CRICAGo's ANARCHISTS.
Drift of the Arguments 10 support
of q New Trial.

OF New Jffai.
CHICAGO, Sept. 2s.-Affidavits to sup
port the motion for a new trial for the sew
en- condemned anarchists have been fled
by their attorneys. The usual plea Is en-
tered that the verdict is not supported by
the evidence, and it is also urged that the
counsel for the State employed form OF
Argument which was calculated to preju-
dice the jury. The chief point urged,
however, is the story telegraphed
from Indianapolis shortly after the
conclusion OF the trial to the
effectithat man entered drinking ga
loon in that city one or two days before
the Haymarket massacre and exhibited
satcheI intimating that slaughter would
occur in Chicago In hw days, The
theory Of the defense is that this myste-
Tious stranger had quantity Of dynamite
bombs, and that he is thespers0n who IN
all likelihood threw the bomb into the
ranks of the police. The manner in
which the jury was summoned, before
whom the defendants were tried, 10 also
objected TO.

represented In the ratio OF to 1900 men,

will receive more favor than at any pre-

trict and local assemblies throughout the
country, throw an immense amount of
work inio the office OF the General Secre-
tary and Treasurer that could all be done
by giving the Master Workman OF each
State enlarged powers, and also making
him a member OF the Executive Board.
That or something closely similar will be
adopted. The convention must either
decide upon that plan or the General Ex-
ecutive Board must be enlarged and cer-
tain portions OF the work laid out for each
meuiber Of the board, he TO attend
to that territory directly. In regard

being impressed with the idea that arbi-

will still be Grand Master Workman. II
will be asked that the convention inquire
into the justice OF the sentence OF the an
archists at Chicago. An effort will be
made to get an expression oil sentiment In

The Mexican Band.

The HERALD was in error yesterday
afternoon in stating the Texas State
Fair had secured the Mexican National
Band. 1t was slip of the pencil,
which in the hurry of the moment
will occur sometimes. 1t is the Dallas
State Fair Association that has EN-
ployed this noted and magnificent
band, and at the heavy cost of $4,000.
Every one throughout the Union who
visited the great Exposition at New
Orleans heard this band, and praises
of its excellence and wonderful music
spread throughout the entire country.
Since then the band has visited the
principal cities of this country giving
concerts, and it has drawn overflowing
houses on all occasions. 1t is noted
throughout the length and breadth of
the land. and is in itself an attraction
that will fill the fair grounds. The
fact is the Dallas State Fair is going to
be the grandest accumulation of cx-
hibits of every kind and character, to-
gether with attractions of every vari-
ETY.. ever known or seen at State
Fair in the South. No effort is being
spared, no money stinted, to make it a
magnificent and certain success. The
two weeks it will hold will not be
time enough to see all it will have on
exhibition to instruct, TO interest and
to amuse the multitudcs who will visit

The Silbon Family.

One of the most sensational acts of
the unusually thrilling programme pre-
sented by Manager w. w. Cole, this
season. is the mid-air feats of the Sill
bon family. who, for several years,
have been recognized as the premier
gymnasts of the country. 1t is safe to
say that no such soul-stirring as is that
of Master Eddie Silbon, who plunges
from the apex of the canvas to the out
stretched hands of his brother, who
swings picturesquely on trapeze bar
below, has never been seen in any age
or country. The Silbons are justly
termed -four human meteors." Their
standing challenge of $4,000 has new
er elected a reply from any contempt
rary aerial artists.

PROMINENT BUSINESS MEN.
Some of the Leading Citizens VINO
Have Helped TO Build Up Dallas.
c. II. EDWARDS.


Mr. c. II. Edwards, the popular
music dealer, is II native of New York,
where nc was born in lS49. Ten years
ago, when he was only ~ years OF age,
| he came to Texas, settling in Dallas,
when he commenced his present bust
ness. lie has never held any civil
Office, and never wanted any, leaving
the affairs Of state and of the munich
pality, in so far as filing office is con-
cerned. to those who have taste and
desire for the same. He has pursued
the path chosen in life without devia-
ton, devoting his time and his abilities
to his business alone. lie deals III
pianos. organs, music and imported
musical merchandise generally. lie
has built up his business from small
beginnings to its present fine proper
tions, and to-day commands a heavy
and constantly increasing trade. Dal-
las has no better citizen than L. Al.
Edwards. and no man within her
limits is more respected and esteemed.
Full of energy, business tact and
fair and reliable in all his dealings,
he is model business man.
lie is thoroughly posted and
informed in his line of trade. know
ing it well in all of its ramifications
and phases. lie has studied, too, the
tastes of the Texas public, and knows
the manner of goods to suit and meet
those tastes and demands. Full of en-
terprise of the highest degree in his
integrity and probity and reliability
in all things, his word is as good as his
bond. Young, in the heydey of life,
full of vigor and strength of mind and
body, he keeps not only apace with
the progress of the times, but perhaps
little advance in many things. lie
feels and appreciates that the inter-
ests of Dallas are his interests. and he
makes the interests and advancement
of our growing and thriving young
city his study. AS far as his means
extend he is as liberal as any one in
aid of the enterprises for the city's
good, and gives all such his moral sup
port as well as material aid. lie shirks
no duty, but is always ready and will
ing with his shoulder at the wheel to
push forward and upward In all move
ments for the general welfare. He is
a citizen Of whom Dallas may well
feel proud.
