SPECIAL TO THE LIGHT:

SPECIAL TO THE LIGHT:
Dallas, Texas, July 9, 1:30 p. H.
This city was visited by another de-
structive fire at an early hour this
morning. AS nearly as can be de-
mined the fire started at 6;l5 in the
mammoth wholesale house of the
Patton worsham Drug company,
262- 2-264 Commerce street. An alarm
was turned in Immediately, but by
the time the department reached the
scene great sheets of flame were is
suing from the building. On ac-
count of the great amount of infiam-
able matter In the store the fire
spread rapidly and made such head
way that the flames could not be
checked until the building and con-
tents were entirely destroyed. The
adjoining building, occupied by
Scarf 4 O'Connor, wholesale deal
ers In printers supplies and mate
rial, was badly damaged. The stock
also suffered heavily, the loss being
caused chiefly from water The roof
OF the Santa Fe passenger station
just across the street was badly
damaged from the intensity of the
heat. Energetic work of the fire.
men prevented what at first threat
ened to be one of the worst fires in
the history of the city. The origin
of the fire ia unknown. The prop

Training DOGS.

Some time ago Deputy Sheriff
Henry Forbes bought a pair of
young blood hounds which he is
now engaged In training. Since it
became generally known that Mr..
Forbes had the dogs he has bad sew
erai calls to take them TO the coun-
try to hunt down supposed house
breakers. Mr.. Forbes stated 10 a
reporter for this paper that the dogs
bad not yet been sufficiently trained
TO take up and follow a cold trail
and that on this account he would
not take them out again. H. had
them at Nash Saturday night trying
to catch a man that had been seen
To enter "A house but the trail was
cold when he reached the place with
his dogs and as a result they could
do no effective work. They are
splendid young dogs and with prop
er training will make good negro

Residence Burned.

Last evening about eight O'Clock
fire was discovered in the residence
of II. NJ. Bishop on Farley street.
Mr.. Bishop and family were out
driving when the alarm was turned
in, having only gone a short dis
tance from the house. The fire de-
partment made a quick run to the
scene Of the fire, but was too late to
save the building from destruction.
The shade trees and yard fence were
also badly damaged. The total loss
Is estimated at about $2400. The
house was insured for 5000 and the
contents for 5000. The fire is sup
posed TO have originated ia a de-
fective fiue.

Last night about ten O'Clock the
jury in the JEFF Richardson case,
wherein the defendant was charged
with incest, returned verdict Civ
ing him two years in the peniten-
tiary. This case was tried here
about year ago and the same pen
atty as the above was given Rich
ardson. A new trial was obtained
with the above result.
Major James, colored, entered a
plea of guilty to charge Of horse
theft and jury fixed his punish
ment at term of two years in the
pen. Immediately after diseharg-
ing the jury Judge billiard passed
sentence on the prisoner. This was
a quick piece of work in melting out
justice. The horse was stolen near
Garrett on the night of June % and
taken TO Dallas and offered for sale.
Before deal was effected the ne
gro was arrested and brought back
to Waxahachie. An indictment was
at once returned against him and
last night he expressed desire to
plead guilty to the charge.
The case of the state against Ar
thur Sparks, colored, is now on tri-
al. The defendant was indicted for
stealing cotton to the amount of
about $ll.00 from cotton pen near
Ennis one night last tall or winter.
At the time of going to press the
attorneys are arguing the case.

CYCLE PATH IS PRAISED
MrNNEHAHA CREEK ROAD A GEar

To the Sporting Editor Of The Journal.
I have just taken a run, for the first time,
over the new Minnehaha creek cycle path.
leading from Lake Harriet to Minnehaha
Falls, and it seems to ane that such gem
Of a path is most worthy of mention, as also
are those who have been most active and
persistent in bringing about its construc-
ton.
doubt II anywhere else in this country
there is such q delightful run for cyclists
Its course is artistically and tastefully
selected. Winding as 1t does around grace
bridges that span the tortuous Minnehaha
creek, it affords a ride for many miles that is
full Of delightful surprises. -
Turning some easy curve you are suddenly
plunged into the welcome shade Of thick
woods and thrifty over-hanging foliage.
Emerging from this you perhaps dart across
one of those smooth, artistic little bridges, the
sides Of which are decorated with an orna-
mental fretwork of natural ta1narack sticks
of varied and attractive designs. Then YOU
glide out into the open meadow or along the
edge of the brook or through a cluster or
overgrown willows, or along the elge or the
boulevard, the creek, the woods or the high
hills to the right or the left, all the way
enjoying the songs of the birds, the lowing
of the peaceful herds and nature In ali her
natural beauty.
This path Is seven feet wide, with the proper
admixture Of dirt and gravel, and thoroughly
rolled with gentle slope for drainage The
high or dangerous places are guarded by a
railing similar to those on the sides of the
bridges This path was very much needed
to complete the system connecting with the
other Minneapolis and st. Paul paths, and
no wiser or more economical expenditure Of
our tag money has been made this season.
Park Commissioner Harry w. Jones is per-
haps more than any other man entitled to the
credit for the designation Of this path. and for
persistent effort to accomplish its construc-
tion.. To Superintendent VIM. M. Berry is
due the credit for it's most economical and
excellent construction. With the means avail
able he has tried to make it as near as pos
sible a continuation Of his model Lake Har-
riet cycle path. - = =
1t is to be hoped that as soon as possible
he or the park board may have as much
of our tag money as shall be necessary to con-
tinue this path from Minnehaha Falls along
the west bank of the Mississippi river to
Franklin avenue. Frank H. Wadsworth

YACHTING

The event Of yesterdays meet of the Inter
Lake Yachting association at Put-in-Bay was
the special race between the Memco H., Com
rnodore Warrens boat: Puritania, sailed by
Captain James Sheets and Mink nuder
Captain Shields. The race was around a
twelve-mile triangle, the first two legs close
hauled and the third a run home dead before
the wind. The Memeo outsailed the feet
and finished ten minutes twenty-one seconds
ahead Of the Puritania, and Mink six min
utes behind the latter. The wind was light
with considerable sea. Previous to the race
there was squadron sail participated in by
forty-four yachts. :. s$-s.zz - = :

SPEARS IS THE WINNER WILL BACK COMPANY n
MAKES A SENSATIONAL FINISH
Local BilIiardist Runs 3S1 to Peter
sons 400, and Wins 500
Side Bet.

When it comes to sensational finishes,
George Spears has Snapper Garrison beat
en- by several laps. In Fargo last week
Spears was 101 points behind when the
third nights play of his 900-point billiard
match with Peterson Of that city, began.
Nevertheless Spears won out by a total
score OF 900 to s7S. :.
Last night at the West, hotel sparlOrs,
the last nights play of a similar 900 point
balk line match began, with the scpre
standing, Peterson 600, Spears 519. Spears
had to run 3S1 to Peterson's 299 to win
out. e The local man played sensational
billiards. and finished easily with score
for the night Sof 381 to Peterson's 1879, or
total score. of 300 to 799. Spears thus
wins the 5000 side bet and takes the big
end of the gate receipts
Spears, usually an unlucky player, was
favored of fortune last night, and played
brilliant billiards. He had the ivories
beautifully under control, and while none
OF his innings were sensational, compared
to the runs of 80, 80, and even more
points that have been made in recent
tournaments he missed few opportunities
and finished with an average Of Is 6-25.
His draws were especially accurate.

Lou Houseman's Opinion.

Lou Houseman's Opinion.
1ou M Houseman picks Jeffries to win.
He says:
Unless all outward and visible signs fail,
Tin, Jeffries will whip Bob Fitzsimmons IN
the battle for the heavyweight championship
of the world.
This conclusion is not reached hastily, nor
does it come on the heels of any hair splitting
deductions. That vacuous entity vulgarly
referred 70 as the dope points Enthusiastically
to Jeffries' victory, as does also every known
rule that can be applied. The disparity IN
the ages of the two men, the dlnerence IN
height, reach, punching power, cleverness
and power of resistance, the offensive fronts
Of both men. all point to- common result,
that Fitzstmmons cannot win and that JeHraes
cannot lose - ,~
The fickleness Of chance just barely enters
into the proposition in so slight and remote
an aspect as to be almost 1mperceptlole.
Fits tactics probably will be to bore In and
early in the fight to win or to lose he can
hardly hope to accomplish anything with q
waiting battle His underp.nning Is hardly
ator,t enough to permit<of this. He has the
n1,nch. if proper Judgement offers, to win, but
this must come in the early stages While yet
the power behind his aged maulers is there.
He cannot hope to husband this force IN
protractet siege.

counter between Jim Jeffries and BOD
