DALLAS, Tex, December l, 1890.
DAILY LIGHT:-Jacob Engers must
be enamoured of another. First, some
two years ago, he beat his wife for
which he was fined $500. A little
while after this he applied for di-
vorce which he failed to procure. He
then tried to have her adjudged in
sane; in this he failed. He again
comes to the front and wants the
courts to send her to Terrell. The
only evidence of insanity is her con-
tinuing to live with her husband.
The Dallas bar met and passed APP
propriate resolutions upon the death
of j. r. Hayter, who was killed by an
Oak Cliff train. Whether 1t was a
deliberate suicide or accident is hard
to tell. He was killed right at the
foot of Main street. He had either
fallen or purposely thrown himself
across the track. He had only been
married four months.
Failures are IN order. J. L. Thomp.
son, one of the largest retail grocers
in Dallas, turned over his stock, val
ued at $40, 900, for the benefit of his
creditors. His Indebtedness was only
$500
The interest in Or. T. B. Larimore's
meetings in the Bryan street Chris
tian church continues. While the
members of this denomination be-
lieve it is necessary to be baptized in
order to enter those pearly gates
above, they do not believe in praising
God by proxy. This church dispepses
with instrumental music and oil of
the congregation are invited to join
in singing.
Dallas dirt continues to hold its
own. A lot COX 200 feet, corner
Elm and Ervay was sold for
SIS, 900. Another on Commerce
and Jackson, same size, changed
owners for the consideration Of f4S,
600. In time Commerce will be the
street of Dallas. AS it is some of her
finest buildings are fror ting it. The
City Hall. Federal Building, Orien tai
Hotel, by far the handsomest strue-
lures it the city are in this street.
Miss Annie Bell Harris,a charming
society girl is to be married TO Mr.
Homer p. Mayo of Houston. Dallas
has been the scene of two gay we'd
dings the past week.
Mr.. Frank Cockrell, the grain ele-
vator man of the state married Miss
Alice Noble, daughter of the late Col.
Geo. Noble They are now visiting
in Washington, d. G. Mr.. Groce
Scruggs and bride, nee Marion Price,
are doing" Mexico.
Thes thief and peddler are
working the town pretty syste-
matically. 1t is whispered the con-
fidentiaI clerk of large implement
house has gone glimmering. He
played his cards well. For long
time he had been trusted with the
books and cash. In November, Just
after the close Of the fair he obtained
leave of absence. The limit of time
given had passed and no word had
been received. The manager became
alarmed. The books were inspected
and showed a defalcaJion of SIS, 900.
it is rumored, wine, women and cards
were al the bottom of It.
Keen interest is manifested in the
proposition, to reduce the city council,
and re-district the city. Some want
1t done, therefore, we think
1t is the thing TO do. This
paper, the Times Herald cites, Sat-
urday nights session of the city
council cost the tax payers SOS and
they accomplish nothing"
The StemmOns residence was burn
ed to the ground last night 1t was
situated some two miles from the city.
A negro boarding house on Ross Ave.
was also consumed by fire, as was
the Shefford House on Camp street.
