A. D. Childress is collecting a
small exhibit of such products as
oranges, lemons, bananas, grapes
and other fruits ETC., as grow in the
Brownsville country, and will car
~ them to San Antonio to show
what this section produces. Mr..
Childress is vitality interested in

That the recent food of Rio
Grande water down the Arroyo
Colorado was a record breaker is
established by the inquest proceed
ings held over the bridge which
the waters swept away. The south
pier was planted five feet below the
surface of the ground on piling
seventeen feet deeper in the clay.
Soundings now show that the cur
rent secured out the soil five feet
below the bottom Ofthe pier. The
top of the piers, on which the
bridge was raised, was placed six
feet above the highest water mark
in the memory of man, but this
year flood sent the water two feet
higher than the pier; which goes
to establish as true the general
impression that the water was eight
feet higher than ever before known.

much worn that the new span will
have to be made about 100 feet
longer than the old one. Corpus

Alexander More Dead.

The subject of the this sketch
was born in Brownsville, Jan. p,
1868, and died this morning at $50,
at the family residence in this city.
About six months ago Mr.. More
suffered a partial stroke of paralysis,
one side of his face being first
affected. Medical aid was obtained
and continued to do everything pos
sible for the stricken man, but he
gradually grew worse, and this
morning at $50 he paid the debt
that all must sooner or later settle.
Alexander More was a man in the
very prime of life, and had manv
years of usefulness before him,
but the grim reaper came, and he
has laid down his working tools to
answer the call which none can re-
fuse TO abey. Beginning as mes
senger boy for the Western Union,
he rapidly advanced and held many
responsible railway positions, his
last being in the capacity of general
passenger agent of the Frisco, and
was always found giving his best
abilities 10 the duties incumbent
upon him. He leaves a wife, one
sister, two brothers and other rel
atives, besides a large circle of
friends TO mourn his demise.
He was a member of the Knights
of Pythias Lodge here and was all
honored knight of that society.
The funeral will take place to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock from
the family residence on 18th street,
to which all friends of the deceased
and the family are respectfully in
vited. THE HERALD joins the
many relatives and friends in
mourning his untimely death,
and begs to drop a tear on
the bier of man called away in
his prime to that undiscovered
country from whence no one has
ever returned to explain its niys-
teries.
