DALLAS, TEX.
HOLDS THEM AT BAY.
THE MEXICAN, :LORENZA PAR
REF, TO HANG NEXT FRIDAY,
Secures a Dagger and Refuses to Surren-
der it on Pain of instant Death.
Finally Placed in Arms
Special to the Gazette.


MIDLAND, MIDLAND COUNTY, TEX, Nov.
Is. County Attorney Mosley to-day re-
ceived a letter from one of the prisoners in
jail here to the effect that the Mexican,
Lorenza Parrez, who is to be executed on
next Friday, had procured dagger or some
other weapon by some means, with which
he contemplated killing Sheriff Allison and
then perhaps himself. This afternoon quite
an excitement was created in the attempt
to get the weapon from him. Before the
Mexican realized the situation, that his de-
signs has been discovered, the sheriff had
got him peaceably into the main cell of the
jail.
But when the weapon was demanded he
made an attempt as if to draw it and backed
himself up into,one corner of the cell, where
for about two hours he held all corners at
bay. Half dozen pistols and winchesters
pointed at him by the sheriff's assistants
did not cause him to bulge, and their
threats OF instant death unless he gave up
the weapon did not move him. His only
reply was: "You are going to hang me up
like dog where all can see me- and had
just as soon die now as any time"
In fact, his actions and manners con-
WINGED all that it was rather his desire that
the officers should shoot him and thus end
the matter.
At length one of his attorneys arrived at
the Jail, and after long time and many
promises of an effort for Communication Of
his sentence by the governor the weapon,
which was stout wire twisted in the shape
of a dagger, was surrendered. Then to
avoid further risks in the matter Sheriff
Allison entered the cell and placed him in
irons, which he will continue to wear until
his execution in the jail yard Friday next.

MINES AND MINERALS.

EAsTLANp. EAsTLAND COUNTY, Nov. IL
There never were perhaps so many pros
pectors in Eastland county at any one time
as now. We do not mean for settlement of
the country, but for silver and gold a
week never passes but that specimen ore
from some quarter of the county is pre-
sented for inspection. Those who are inter-
ested in the mines at Olden certainly have
faith or their time. labor and money would
not be spent as freely as it is. The new
town has made its start. Should the mines
prove valuable. it will not long lack for
population. That there is silver here, none
doubt, but the quantity is the problem to
be solved.

New YORK, Nov. 16.-An encouraging
feature in the general improvement of bust
ness from o financial point of view is the
remarkable increase of earnings of rail-
roads, and the point Of interest in this is
that the rates of increase last year have
been greater and greater in each succeeding
week. In the second week of June the
gross earnings of eighty-four roads
were only ~ per cent greater
than last year. This difference had stead
lily increased until in the third week of
October eishty-two roads showed earnings
of 10. 50 per cent greater than In the same
week Of 1890 The Chronicle prints tables
showing that whereas the earnings on S.

the earnings on 100, 022 miles of road id
October were on an average OF $3.50 per
mile as compared with $54S per mile on
