QUEEN CITY, TEX, Feb. 27.-The
contract for the erection and maintain
ance Of l00-ton blasting furnace IN this
place, which was made some weeks since
by committee appointed to confer with
Kansas City company who were to
erect the same, Is now ABOUT to
be closed. All that remains to
be done in order to fill the
contract il the correction of few slight
irregularities in some of the deeds to the
lands which were taken hurriedlY. When
this is done the company will be ready
for work. The amount asked by this
company was $40 900 and 5000 acres of
land, which amount has been raised by
the people of this town and section sur
rounding. Work on the furnace will
begin inside OF one month, and the ma
terials for the erection of the same wilI
he on the ground by November l.. No
one enterprise will benefit this
section more than this, which
will employ several hundred hands
and put in circulation In this place from
thirty to forty thousand dollars per
month. The iron ore is undoubtedly
here in inPxhaustible quantities and OF the
finest grade, assaying as high as 90 per
cent, much of it being kidney ore. III
addition to this, a sufficient amount OF
fire clay for the manufacture of fire
bricks has been purchased in One-fourth

Queen City may not, in vulgar term,
be on boom, hut she is enjoying the
healthiest experience of any town in
Northeast Texas. More lots have
changed hands in the last month than
in any five years of her former existence.

convinced those who heard his statement
that he had murdered h S family. By
direction of the coroner the lake was
drained and the bodies of Mrs. Halves
and little Irene were found on the bot
tom. The finding of Mrs. Halves corpse
inflamed the public mind to a state of
frenzy. Ali efforts of the press of the
city and county authorities to allay the
excitement were futile. The Jail was
stormed by 1000 persons determined
to lynch the murderer. The sheriff
ordered them to halt, but the mob re-
piled with cries of dsrision and pressed
forward. Order was given to the guard
to fire, and the voliey resulted IN the
killing of ten persons and wounding
many more. The spirit of the mob was
broken and it never returned to the at
tack, contrary to the expectation Of the
authorities. who had in the meantime
telegraphed to the governor for militia.
The trial of Halves began April rs and
lasted eleven days. The jury returned a
verdict of guilty with the death penalty
after two hours elaboration.

Eick Halves Hanged for Numbering HIS Wife

BIRMINGHAM, ALA. Feb. % Richard
Halves, the wife murderer, was hanged
at 1858 CLOCK. His neck was broken
by the fall. He stated on the gallOws
that John Wylie did the killing, and was
paid $500 by him for his service.
The drop fell at 12:5S o'clock. HIS
neck was broken AMI death was easy.
The little jail yard was packed to suffo-
cation, and many who had tickets failed
to get in On the streets outside thou
sands of people stood in the rain waiting,
though they could see nothing. Before
the black cap was adjusted Halves spoke
briefly. He called a newspaper man and
shook hands with him and forgave him
for all false statements against him.
He then handed an Age-Herald man
q written confession and asked that it be
published. He stated that he was guilty
and suffered justly; that whisky and a
bad woman had brought him to this end.
He warnad young meu against following
in his footsteps; his written confession
would tell the rest. Rev. Purser offered

The crime for which Richard R. HAYES

Correspondence of the Gazette.
DAWES, TEX. Feb. 27.-Ths worst
blizzard we have had this winter Is blow
ing now. 1t commenced with drizzling
rain last night, and everything is glare
of ice. It looks very odd for the peach
blossoms to be enclosed each one in a
bail of crystal ice. l think it beats the
artificial freezing of flowers in ice. This
spell will come very near running the
peach and plunS crop. The cattle are in
such good shape that IL will not'hurt
them. Farmers are about doue sowing
oats. Wheat is in splendid condition.

The Tricky Weather.

AS the cold weather which prevailed
Inst night had the effect of blasting veg
etables in this section, SO did it blast the
visit of the horticulturists who were ex-
pected to arrive in Dallas at midnight
last night. Only about half of them
reached Dallas, and that few were not
inclined to do much in the way of sight
seeing. But the Dallasite Is inexorable
when he has real estate to show, or q
chance 10 capture q capitalist, and so,
Notwithstanding the biting cold, hacks
were secured aud the drive over
the city was commenced. The
professional eyes of the visiting
hortuculturists were given an oppOr-
tunity to observe the effect OF a February
frost on Dallas landscape. The picture
of street car drivers running alongside
their ears, swinging their arms wildly to
sustain the blood circulation, without a
passenger il sight, no doubt had
pleasant effect OH the visitors. The Wis
itors were better pleased, however, when
the club rooms were reached and the
convivial Dallasites proceeded TO tell all
about what they have instead Of proving
1t Dy ocular demonstration.

fine clock with an electric attachment

presented Professors Anderson and But
Ter of Grayson college to-day by the
Evans dramatic company. The classes
in this college are so arranged as to
have thirty minutes recitation. The
special departments, CT course, are sub
iect to this rule, but sometimes oil pro-
fessors get interested in their classes
ana forget TO ring the bell at the end OF
thirty minutes, and this naturally rem
dered the classes little irregular. And
about a year ago Professor Evans,
teacher of vocal music aud harmony Of
this college, proposed TO the professors
ii they would secure permission from the
insurance companies TO give an enter
taiumeut in their hall that he, would get
up an entertainment to procure good
clock with an electric attachment bell
to ring in each room. This was a new
idea to the professors. They were de-
lighted with the proposition and wrote to
the insurance companies and obtained

ment. Professor Evans went to work
wrote an obligation and secured the fol-
lowing names to render "Ten Nights in

cured the service of Mr.. Beskow a jew

The sensation in police circles in Dallas
to-day is the death of one John George
Engli, who was yesterday brought to
Smith IS undertaking establishment from
an East Dallas lodging house. The condi-
ton of the remains was enough to arouse
suspicion. Several bad cuts and bruises
disfigured the head aud face, and the
eyes were badly bruised and swollen. The
proprietor of the lodging house explains
that Engli had been down with consump-
ton and fell out of bed on Tuesday, re-
ceiving injuries which proved fatal aud
which caused the dlsfiguratiOn noticed.
But this explanation is not accepted by
many. There are those who knew Engli
when alive as an honest, upright fellow,
hard working and respectable, and who
fear that foul play may have been the
agency of his removal. One rumor that
has some adherents, is TO the effect that
a certain secret organization In the city
had cause TO desire his taking of. The
remains were viewed by Coroner j. II.
Brown, who this afternoon went into the
taking of dispositions in the case. Prose-
cutting Attorney Williams is handling the
witnesses, and the police are busy work.
