DALLAS LETTER.
DALLAS, Tex, June

DALLAS, Tex, June 6, 1895.
From Our Own Special Correspondent
The month Of roses ia here, minus
the roses. The weather is neither
hot, dry or rainy.
Everything is conducive to a
large attendance at the School OF
Methods, which opened Tuesday
with more In attendance than can
conveniently be accommodated,
Notwithstanding the large assem-
bly, hall is used. So far, there is
only one teacher from the Alamo
city enrolled. Prof. Carlisle was in
attendance on opening day, and
promises to be on hand. Tomorrow
only those having cards OF admis-
sion, that is, bona fide members,
will be admitted. This is done in
order to keep out visitors, who are
mere spectators, c%rowding out
those whose aim is to profit and be
benefited by the school.
In u last letter, mention was
made Of the illness Of Mayor
John Henry Brown. He died the
following day. The last intelli-
gible word uttered by this grand
old man was the name Of the dear
ly loved grandchild, Colby, who
had preceded him a few days. The
grandfather was calling "Colby,n
while the angel boy was reckoning
him to come. Many were the
friends willing and anxious to re-
lieve the family, who we're constant
watchers at his bedside day and
night. They realized what was at
stake and refused to be relieved till
the end came. Words fail US to ex-
press our own loss of a friend in
in the death Of Mayor Brown.
There are many Others who voice
our sentiments, for he was a friend
to those who needed a friend. The
funeral services were conducted at
the house of the minister of the
Presbyterian church. The remains
were then carried to the Episcopal
church where the Right Reverend
Bishop Carrot OBLIGATED. The
funeral cortege was an immense
one. The coffin was completely
hidden by flowers, made into many
designs. Crosses, wreathes, an
chors, pillows and huge boquets
were sent by friends. Camp Ster-
ling Price sent an immense cross
measuring five feet made Of lilies
and cape jessamines. This was
placed at the head OF the grave,
while the grave itself was COM
pletly hidden by rare and beauti-
full blossoms. Thus another land
mark Of Dallas has passed away
one, too, who will be sadly missed,
for it seemed as though Mayor
Brown was in truth a part Of Dali
las.
Late yesterday morning the
jury in the Joe. Johnson cas- re-
turned a verdict Of acquittal.
johnson and another Negro got
into a dispute over a watermelon
which the former had placed away
to cool, while waiting for it to cool
the melon disappeared, this led to
the killing.
The would-be women voters
have been in session at the Wind

the club says that dissensionN crept
into their midst, and their MEM.
bers have increased.
Mrs. E. Scurry, who has been a
resident Of Texas for over fifty
years, died at the home Of her
daughter, Mrs. Terrell, yesterday
afternoon.
George Hall was hurt by the
bursting Of an Emery wheel at
Moshers laundry. Today he died.
His skull being fractured he never
gained consciousness after the acci-
dent. The wheel, which makes
a speed Of 1900 revolutions per
minute, had been provided with a.
patent safety arrangement. 1t was.
used for the first time on the day
Of the accident. No one has any
idea as to what caused the wheel
to burst.
