DALLAS LETTER.

[From Our Own Special Correspondent
DALLAS, Tex, July -, 1895.
It is not an established fact that
the friendly CD meeting Of Corbett
a nd Fitzsimmons will take place
in Dallas. President Stuart is in
different. He says he thought he
was doing a good turn for Dallas,
but says he will go to Galveston,
which offers ground and building
free, and see about having the con-
test come off in that city. Mr.
Stuart says those who have pur-
chased seats, thinking the fight
would take place here, will be
taken care of, so far as being pro-
vided with railroad transportation,
should the place Of meeting be
changed.
or the five men buried by the
collapsing Of the Thompson build
ing yesterday, only one is thought
to be fatally injured.
Thomas Breston, son OF Daniel
Greston, attempted to board L.
& P. train to go to East Dallas, lost
his hold and was crushed to death.
In the small hours OF the night his
father, hard working honest man,
was notified OF his boys sudden
end.
After hours of suspense, fear and
hope, the friends Of little Albert
Van Slyke, recovered his body not
far from the place where he jumped
off the pike into the back water Of
the Trinity. The little fellow had
waded several hundred yards on
the pike and then plunged to his
death.
Two brothers, by the name OF
Floyd, living in this county, be-
came involved in quarrel. One
pulled a knife and cut the other
very severely, and doubts are ex-
pressed as to his recovery. The
ono who did the cut
ting is very penitent.
The two doorstep babies have
been adopted, but hereafter 1t would
be we'll to give the pedigree OF these
little helpless creatures, for peo-
pie are little careful about taking
these little responsibilities.
The majority of the county Of
ficals went over to Fort Worth on
the 10Th to assist in dedicating the
new courthouse.
Jacob Rothchild, who was killed
in Memphis, Tenn, the other Cay
by one DIR. White, Is we'll known
in this city, where his wife and
children resided at the time OF his
death. Deceased was with the
music house of Frees & Sons for
several years, and after the firm
was moved to st. Louis, Rothchild
continued here to wind up the az
fairs OF the firm. After leaving
Dallas he went to Waxahachie,
thence to Memphis. Deceased has
two sisters who are clerks for A.
Harris, and a mother-in-law in the
employ Of Sanger Bros.
The colored Normal Is in full
Blast, with large attendance. The
conductor of the Normal enjoined
those in attendance to strive for
the elevation and advancement OF
their race, rather than having the
one aim of securing certificate to
teach in view. That is very good
advice, but II the colored teacher
accepts it, he will do more than his
white brother.
Mr.. Josiah Austin, a carpenter,
has been on the watch for his
missing daughter, who disappeared
from home on the 9th Of June. A
few evenings since, she was
seen and recognized, while out
for a drive. Two mounted
officers were sent out in pursuit;
she was overtaken in the city park.
In explanation OF her absence she
told Chief of Police Arnold that
she had been living over Oak Hall
in the third story, with Shusong
Barlow, Momand Brothers book
keeper. The latter has disappeared.
The summer in Dallas is growing
intensely hot, but few, compare
lively speaking, are leaving the
city.
