DALLAS LETTER.
DALLAS, TEX, Dec. 18th, 1898.

18TH year at MS residence Oh IldT-
wood street this morning, at 2
o'clock. Court was adjourned at
once out of respect to his memory.
During his long life Judge White
held many honored positions. Was
twice member Of congress and
was appointed by Gen. Grant Ter
ritorial Judge Of Utah in 1873, but
the senate refused to confirm him.
Mr.. Francis Fendrich, the well
known wholesale tObacconist was
buried from his late residence yes
terday. Mr.. Fendrich had gone to
Mineral Wells, being afflicted with
Bright's disease, and was getting
along fairly well, when he took
bath last Friday, this, it is said,w
the direct cause of his death.
The negro, Chas. Rogers, who
killed his sweetheart five or
six weeks ago, because she
loved another, and told him
so, has been adjndged non com
posmentus by lenient jury who
has not the country's good at
stake. In the words of the Star
these "insane murderers whose
mania is the shedding Of blood,
should either be hung or confined
for life in the penitentiary." These
negro murderer gets II years in
the penitentiary. His staying there
that long depends upon his deport-
ment. He will still be in his prime,
and ready for other mis-
deeds when his term expir-
es. The Dallas jurors hold
mans life not so highly as they
do filthy lucre, it seems, at any
rate the penalty for robbery is
greater. The robber who ordered
two men to "shell out" and dis
possessed them of $l2, gets SEN
tence of % years.
After the court decreed that Hon.
Bryan J. Barry and not Bud O'Con.
nor, had been legally elected mayor,
the present incumbent proposed
fighting it to the finish, and
writes lengthy epistle to
Mr.. Barry, in which he tells
him that tn" Supreme court
in the mayOrallty contest
now pending before it, if adhered
to, will. as you must admit, result
in the Acknowledgements Of 1917
voters of the city without any
fault on their part" The acting
mayor goes on to state that he
believes the judges of the election
thought they were strictly follow
ing the law; and he now proposes
to Mr.. Barry to let the voters Of
the city select mayor Of their
choice. Mr.. Barry rejects the pro
position toto.
The credit of the city will be-
come impaired and her interests
ieopardized through the bicker-
ings of the contest,
Not long since word was re-
ceived from Washington state that
Mrs. well known widow of
this city. had been happily mar
ried to a gentleman of that new
state, the result of matrimonial
advertisement. Her friends, while
much surprised, were glad to learn
that the risky venture had not
proven a blank. These friends
were a little premature in their
congratulations
The lady, who is the esteemed
daughter of a colonel of the Con.
federacy, is now back in Dallas,
minus her home and its furnish
ings, which she sold ut a sacrifice
in order to meet her future
husband to be in the far away
northwest. They met and were
married. He is in Washington,
she with friends in this place; here
the curtain drops.
The Butterfly Fete, spectacular
entertainment, after the fashion OF
Imri Kiralfy's "America," by home
talent for the benefit of the Wo-
mans Home, under the manage
ment Of Mrs. Travis, of Michigan,
is now being given and is meeting,
with merited success.
For some time the friends OF
James II. Robinson have eXpOstu-
lated and reasoned and urged him
to desist from the use Of bromide.
While Col. G. w. McCullOch lived
he was regarded a., one of the best
division rate clerks in Texas. Rro-
mic, cocaine and morphine have
made mental wrecks of both Mr..
and Mrs. Robinson. After remain
ing at DR.. Brooks Infirmatory for
six weeks he pronounced their
casss almost hopeless and made
complaint to the court, which re-
suited in both being adjudged in
sane, and ordered sent to the Ter
