Hair Turned Gray by Pain.

Correspondence OF the Gazette.
DA1NGERFIELD, TEX, July 3o.-A
child, aged eight years, SON of Mr.. P.
c. Barnard, a farmer living near. this
city, several days ago was walking a
plank fence when Suddenly his feet
slipped, throwing him astraddle of it,
injuring him very seriously. There is no
hopes of his recovery. He has been
begging his parents to kill him, that he
can't stand the pain. His hair is almost
gray, and If he continues to live few
days longer he will be entirely gray.

FRED DOUGLASS, our worthy minister
to Hayti is at home on a visit. Fred is
not happy. In going TO and returning
from his post of duty, he is compelled to
sail under a Dutch or an English flag,
instead of our own beloved stars and
stripes. That is too very, very bad in
deed. Doubtless congress will be moved
hv Fred Is grief. and hurry up that ship

Fire Raging.
HANDLEY, Tex, July %, 1890.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
Handley is pleasant village amid fine
picturesque scenery on the Texas and
Pacific, seven miles from Fort Worth
having store, blacksmith shop,
schoolhouse, q neat and commodious
church building, an express and tele-
graph office and number of the noblest
people or this terraqueous ball. There
are several cosy and pleasant residences
with ample grounds around, well shaded
by tall and ancient trees, with spreading
aud leafy boughs. The postoffice, depot
and telegraph are in charge OF an intelli-
gent and energetic lady, an encouraging
instance of what ladies can do, and in
keeping with the widening field of en-
ployment for women of business qualif-
cations.

A BoId Thier Capiured.

A bold piece Of rascslity was perpetrat
ed at the corner of Fifth avenue and
Twenty first street at 7:l5 last evening.
Mrs. Jacob OhlweIler Jr.. had just re-
turned from shopping trip down town
and had in little handbag which she
carried in her hand new gold watch
As she turned into her home at the corner
mentioned. q man snesked up from the
rear and snstched her hand ssicbel. The
lady resisted vigorously and refused to
let the satchel GO But the william was
determined, and he finally, after striking
the lady twice, got away. though she
held 10 his coat as long as she
could and then pursued him scream ing
at the top of her voice. This attracted
the attention Of two young men, Will
Pratt and Joe Dickson who run the thief
down and captured him and turned him
over to the police. He gave his name as
John Kelly, and the stolen valu.
ables were found in his pockets He
is probably the man who worked the
same trick successfully at Davenport and
Moline recently.
The thief who stole the rig from Kerrs
livery stable. this city. 1t is now discov-
cred also stole two pistols from Hous-
mans hardware store. He left the rig at
livery stable in Moline. promising to
.e.oTn for it, but did not pu, in an ap.
pesranse again. Mr.. Kerr has. therefore,
recovered his portion of the stolen prop.

New Paving Experiments.

Among recent experiments in paving
il the combination Of cedar blocks and
cobble stones. The single horse car
track in the center oL the street is
paved with eobble stoIB's. width Of
about eight feet on either side Is paved
with cedar blocks. and the rest of the
way 10 the curb is paved with cobble
stones. This gives pavement which
has sone excellent points; it, disadvan-
tages are that the wood paving shows
a tendency to wear IN RUS, as the We.
hicles run sonearly in one track.
Well laid cedar block paving in De-
troit lasts eight 10 ten years, ard on
some streets even fifteen or twenty
years. IL is generally laid on sand,
with sand brushed between the blocks.
A pavement that is much more even,
but which costs considerably more, Is
made by laying the cedar blocks on
concrete. with a cushion OF sand be-
tween. and filling with coal tar be-
tween the blocks Ashphzlt is now
finding much favor In the replacing OF
cedar biDcks on streets Of heavy traffic.
