From Our Own Special Correspondent
DALLAS, Tex. Nov. u. 1895,


After an absence of several
weeks in Chicago and st. Louis
Mayor Frank Holland returned in
time to preside over the city coun.
Gil, and is now off for Rockport foI
a weeks sport, hunting and fish,
ing. at the last meeting OF the
council it was decided to put back
all policemen turned off a month
ago, to reduce the expenses. AS II
stood, the force was not adequate
to the protection of the city, any
more than is the fire department
any too great. Let the police and
fire laddies alone. Let their pay
roll stand, for both are insti utions
that Dallas can depend upon.
@. A. Howard, the man who tried
to commit suicide because his
wife would not 60 back to him, is
on the road to recovery, but his
wife, who works very hard for
support, is still of the same opin-
ion.
The Mrs. Hemm and child, who
were murdered in Houston by one
William Kuntz, whom she went
there to marry, were known in
Dallas. She boarded for while

Post Office hotel she went to
private boarding house. The rea-
son of this, she said, Kuntz would
find her and kill her in case she re.
fused to marry him.

Indianapolis, whittier he went with
Mrs. Eddy, in time to be at his
post Sunday. Brother Seasholes
has been informed that certain
saloon men are after his cap; he
has also been told that he would
be killed OF sight, &c. Brother
Seasholes does not talk like he
would change his postof1ice adj
dress on that account. 1t is said
Mr.. Seasholes was the first minis
ter in the place to openly declare
against the prize fight.
Mrs. Margaret Mckee Stevens,
who was visiting her son, Captain

Texas, who came to visit her cous-
in, Miss Lille Willis, and to take
in the fair as well, has been sick
with a slow fever ever since her
arrival.
The wedding of the season will
be the marriage of DR.. Jno. o.
McReynolds and Miss Katie Seay,
which takes place on the evening
of the 9th. There are to be sixteen
bridesmaids. The ceremony will
be performed in the Central Chris
tian church. A reception will fol-
| low.
In Jewish circles the wedding in
high life was that of Miss Fannie
Kahn to Mr.. Nathan Goldberg,

the evening of the 10Th in Temple
Emanuel.
Miss Lucy Lee Hill, daughter of
the Confederate general, A. p.
Hill, who has been a guest of the
daughters of the Confederacy since
the opening of the fair, has re-
turned to Chicago.
Times may be hard, but society
IS gay and bright, and at no time
in the history of Dallas has there
been such an array of gorgeous
dressing as is seen at the balls of
this season. There is no dimu-
milton of expense in this dirtc lion,
