DALLAS LETTER.
From our Special Correspondent
DALLAS, MAY "A, 1894.

From our Special Correspondent
DALLAS, May "A, 1894.
Mrs. Cravens, widow of Stewart
Cravens, of whom mention has
been made in a former letter, has
decided to contest her husbands
will. When Cravens died, it will
be remembered he left will dis.
posing of his entire estate, be-
queathing to his wife that which
the law would have given her, the
homestead and nothing more. Mrs.
Cravens claims that the estate is
community property, and that she
is entitled to One-half of it, and
asks that the will be vacated to the
extent of one-half of the property,
and prays to be appointed admin
istratriz in room Of Judge E. G..
Bowser whom her husband named
in the will as administrator.
1t is claimed that the beneficiary
of the will said just after Craven's
death, that Mrs. Cravens was the
rightful legatee, and the property
left me shall be transferred to her.
Time has sped by two years have
passed, and Mrs. Cravens all this
while had to depend upon her daily
labor for a support. The home
stead was not of great value to her,
as she could not live so far from
work, nor could she rent it.
Stewart Cravens, the husband,
was an eX-shOwman, having trav-
eled with Barnum, Robinson and
Forepaugh, and was noted as a
lion tanner and elephant trainer.
A year or more ago, mention
was made in these columns of the
Rev. Zachariah Parker, a Metho-
dist divine who used to fill Dallas
pulpits. At the time reference was
made to the reverend gentleman,
he was under arrest charged with
forgery and getting money from
Uncle Sans Golfers, fraudulently.
Mr.. Parker secured a position
for the dead widow of a former
colored Union soldier, who had
been Mr.. Parker's slave. The wife
of this eX-slave has been dead fif-
teen years. When arrested at the
postotfice, in this city, he made an
attempt to destroy the letters he
had just received. The letters
were for the woman who had been
dead many years and to whom the
pension was granted some Is years
ago. Parker received the money
all these years and preached the
Gospel in Texas towns at the same
time. Yesterday, in Paris, he was
convicted in the Federal court on
two counts, for forgery and present.
ing false claims.
The continued absence of Miss
Morgan is still a mystery. Her
mother, Mrs. Cockrell, of this coun-
ty, has made many endeavors to
trace the missing daughter, but nc
word is heard as to where she is
now. Her friends in Ardmore, |,
T., where she visited, are in the
dark as to the cause of her disap
pearance.
The residence of Mr.. German
adjacent to Ross Avenue Heights
was burned to the ground a few
avs ago. This is the second time
he German residence was burned
his time, a very palatial resi-
ence, with no insurance. 1t il

A YOUNG GIRLS FORTUNE.
AN INTERESTING SKETCH.

Nothing appeals so strongly to a mothers
affection as her daughter just budding into
womanhood Following is an instance: "Our
daughter Blanche now Is years of age, had
been terribly afflicted with nervousness and
had lost the entire use of her right arm. She
was in such a condition that we had TO keep
her from school and abandon her music les
sons. In fact, we feared st. Vitus dance, and
are positive but for an invaluable remedy she
would have had that terrible affection. We
had employed physicians, but she received no
benefit from them. The first of last August she
weighed but IS pounds, and although she has
taken only three bottles of Neryine she now
weighs l06 pounds; her nervousness and symp-
toms of st. Vitus dance are entirely gone she
attends school regularly, and studies with com.
fort and ease. She has recovered complete use
of her arm, her appetite is splendid, and no
money could procure for our daughter the health

not listen to him. but as a last resort he sent "s
