One Of them is an ancient. venerable

that he may bow and kiss his hand to

bug walk not much after sundown.-

then one of them stepped out from the

Mrs. Webster fired "A charge Of buck

DALLAS AND FORT WORTH.
Mr. L. g. Munford and Miss Annie Pfsuts
United in Matrimony.

The Fort Worth Evening Mail of
last Thursday gives the following ac-
count of the Munford- Pfouts marri-
age:
A pleasant party of Fort Worth
people boarded the Texas Il Pacific
yesterday morning for Dallas to at
tend the nuptials of l.. G. Mum
ford, of this city, and Miss Annie
Pfouts, of Dallas. While in Dallas
the visitors were extended most
excellent attentions and courtesy, and
every effort was made to secure their
thorough enjoyment. The wedding
took place at the Methodist church
at $50 p. M, Mr.. Allen, the pastor,
officiating. The church was beauti-
fully decorated, and an additional
effect was added to the beauty of the
scene by the lighting of the gas.
Prof. Ragsdade played the wedding
march which gave the signal for the
entrance of the bridal party. The
ushers entered in pairs, one gentle
man from Dallas and one from Fort
Worth. Messrs. Sellers, Conner and
Dickerson formed ON the right, while
the gentlemen from Dallas, Messrs.
Smith, Sweeney and Wood, formed
on the left Then entered the grOoms.
men, Messrs. Henderson and Pfouts,
and following them came the brides
maids, Misses Leak and Castor, all OF
Dallas These took their position on
each side of the place reserved for the
bridal couple. Finally came the
bride and groom attired in travelling
costumes. The ceremony over, the
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Munford ac.
companied them to the depot of The
Houston q Texas Central railroad
where they took the train for New
Orleans. The couple will stop over
there two days and from there they
will 90 to Nashville and GAINESVILLE
Tenn, the latter being the nome o.
Mr.. Munford's mother. They will,
return to Fort Worth about the 18th

Police Court.

City Recorder Bailey had pretty
interesting sitting Of his court this
morning. The house was crowded
and a superabundance of excitement
was manifested.
Dick Clark, COL, was fined $500
for fighting.
Belle Foreman and Sue Barksdale,
both colored, were before the recor-
der on charge of fighting on Main
street, near the electric light station.
The latter was fined $500, while the
former was acquitted.
The cases of George and Grundy
Gilbert and Pat Sullivan, charged
with fighting, was postponed until
Thursday morning. This affair has
been the subject of much comment
this morning. The cause Of the fight
dates back to Monday morning,
when r. Z. Gilbert and Pat Sulli-
van had few words in regard to re-
moving dirt from the excavation for
owen & Moore's house they are pre-
pairing to build on Franklin street.
On the heels of this Sullivan pub
lished a card in city paper charging
Mr.. Gilbert with receiving ten pei
cent. of Pete Cobb's salary for street.
hauling in 1889, and that he (Sulli'
van) could prove same.
Mr.. Gilbert accosted Sullivan in
regard to the publication, but by the
interference of friends serious trou
BILE was averted. Later in the even
ing the Gilbert boys met Pat Sulli
van in front of the Northern bank
and a fight ensued. Mr.. Sullivan
ran into the Northern bank, the boys
following him, and in the fight IL
the bank Sullivan'S head was con
siderably cut. They were finally
parted, and were all arrested. TIT
trial Thursday morning will brin'
out the facts. Until then it is deemed
best to let the matter rest, as bat
blood is being stirred up on bot
sides.
The LEAF-CHRONICLE is glad t
state that the Gilbert-Sullivan diff
Guilty has been adjusted. Mr.. Sulli
van met Mr.. Gilbert today an
stated to him that what he ha
said and done was in the hea
of passion, and he was yer
} sorry indeed for it. The charg
r doubtless arose from a misundel
$ standing of a conversation of Pete
Cobb by Mr.. Sullivan.

Sickness Among Animals.

they cannot thrive, the food that should

sickness Among Children.

Its cause is undoubtedly to be found
in the way they are fed, and the neglect
of their medical treatment. Many moth
ers are strong in their belief of the good
state of health ef their little ones, and
it is only when sickness in a mild or
strong form comes upon them that the
mother fully realizes the mistake OF her
over-confdence, and thus unwittingly
brings painful suffering toher child and
uneasiness and trouble to her own heart.
To prevent such a state OF affairs give

boxes were filed to make room for
