Dallas, Jan. 27,1882.
Official information has been received
to-night at the purchase of the St. Louis
and San Francisco railroad by Gould aud
Huntington. It created general surprise,
and among the creditors ol the Chicago.
I'exas and Mexican Central, and the offi
cials of that company at headquarter.,
here, came like a ciap of thunder trom a
clear sky. The company owes about
$100,000 in this section, and as the road
was to extend northeast to a connection
with the St. Louis and San Francisco, the
purchase of that line by Gould aud Hunt-
ington appears to obliterate all hope ol
turther work in that direction by the pres-
ent company and its Boston backers. One
of three things seems certai i to-night:
the Chicago, Texas and Mexican Central
must sell to the Gulf, Colorado and Santa
Fe, or to the Houston Texas Central, or
go into the hands of a receiver. Some ol
the heaviest creditors are in consultation
to-night, and talk of running attachments
early in the morning, and securing the ap-
pointment of a receiver.

Dallas, Jan. 27, 1882.
The mystery about the dead St. George
hotel robber is nearly cleared up Infor-
mation has been received to-nig it that his
name is Otis Gowdy, the sou ol a rich and
respectable citizen living near Burlingame,
Kangas. Otis, a few weeks ago, left home
in a fit of desperation, because his cousin’s
parents refused to let him marry her, and
it is thought he turned higuwayman on
account of the disappointment, and as-
sumed the aliases of tl. A. Little, J. O.
Martin, C. E. Orville aud James Waverly
to shield his lami y name. His aunt, Mrs.
Mary Hart, of Burlingame, Kansas, ac-
knowledges writing the lettes found
among the dead robber’s effects. The
body will probably be forwarded to his
friends to-morrow.

mer resident of Cleveland,Bradley county,

cific railroad, was killed to-night by fall-
ing under a locomotive, five miles west ol

Belton, Jan 27, 1882.
This evening about four o’clock, one
mile west of town, a difficulty took place
between Andy Harris and Henry Hanna,
colored, in which the latter shot and in-
stantly killed the former with a six
shooter. If seems that Harris was trying
to kill a brother of Hanna’s. Harris was
a mean negro, and the community is bene-
fittedby bis being killed.
The sate ol Wm. Moore and Son, lum-
ber dealers, was burglarized last night

A county convict named Diamond was

A man named Mike Berry, who has
been under bond tor robbery, tried to
jump trie bond to-day. He wa3 rearrest-
ed and is now in jail.
An obstreperous negro disturbed the
peace to-day by abusing the board ol
health, and proposed to clean up the town.
He was arrested, gagged and chained
down. ^ ^
Almost Persuaded.
We have it on pretty good authority
that Col. J. P. Smith has about concluded
r.o yield to the calls of his. numerous
friends to become a candidate for Mayor.
This announcement, we know, will be ex-
tremely gratifying to the readers of the
Democrat-Advance. We know of no
man who can come nearer commanding
the respect and support of all classes than
he. He has long been identified with
Foit Worth, and has been oneef the chief
leaders in every enterprise that has been
started for her good. He has experience,
good sense and sound judgment, the most
necessary7 qualifications for such an offi-
cer. Let us o e and all now work for
his election.

Something About Mud,
Editoh Democrat-Advance,
It by any sudden freak of nature, mud
should become a fertilizer, Fort Worth
would be a bonanza of wealth, richer
than the Ciiincha guano island of Peru or
;he Comstock lode. Are the people of
this city waiting lor such a metamorpho-
sis? or do they love mud—the mud which
sticketh closer than a mother-in-law or a
mortgage—fitter than sidewalks? A
glance at our streets justifies such a
query, and especially from a woman. 1
can’t wear a slicker and boots to the
Knee when I go a-shoppiug (and shop 1
must). I cannot keip a carriage and 1
love clean, spotless stockings and snowy
petticoats. How can 1 preserve these lat-
ter in their virgin parity when I step on a
loose plank and receive a mud bath to
ihe waist? Fancy my feelings! But,
pshaw, you can’t, lor you are a horrid
inan, leather to the kuee. I love to at-
tend divine service, especially at night,
but to re tch my church I must wade ankle
deep in mud, and we always sing,
Oh, for a closer walk with God,”
and I look at Oscar O'Sbaughnessey (he’s
my young man), and he smiles when we
come to the word “walk,” and whispers,
“not in Fort Worth.” This irreverence
would, not happen if hj and 1 had not
waded a few minutes beiore thorough
such a “Slough of Despond” called side-
walk, one day last week. .1 went to Sakes’
to buy a moustache cup lor Oicar, (a
birthday present), and near the cock-tail
factory "called “Cattle Exchange,” (whose
cattle do men exchange there?) I slipped
arid fell. Several graduates of the Semi-
nary, seeing I had stepped on a hoop, said
••Hoop-la and Hi-yah!” whatever that
means, a-nd then helped me up saying,
“Miss, you are muddy,” as if I didn’t
know it, and worse still, that the mud
svas right where I couldn’t see it. IVe
must have sidewalks, tor 1 never could
survive another such a fall as that. 1 en
dorse every word of the spirited com-
munication in your Friday paper from
H. Clay Mudd.
Yours hopefully,
Carrie Stiffbusixe Cleanhose,

Prescott, of North Carolina, from the
committee on census, reported an ap-
portionment bill which was referred to the
fclouse calendar.
Coierick, ot Indiana, presented a mi-
nority report on the same in reference to ,
the last named bill, winch was made tiie 1

a further response to the House resolution
ot the 24th inst., the report ot the Secre-
tary of State in relation to the purport ot
recent telegrams from the special envoy
ot the. United States, setting forth the
conditions ot peace presented by Chili;
also a communication from the Secretary
of the Navy, in answer to a resolution os

to certain lands and harbors known as the
Chirique grant.
The House then, at 4:25 p. in., adjourned

Washington, D. C., Jan. 27.—Senate.—
rhe Senate at 1 o’clock proceeded to the
consideration of the Sherman 3 per cent
bond bill.
Afcer discussion of the amendment of
Davis, of West Virginia, striking out the
time of redemption of the new bonds and
all bonds, and making them payable at
any time at the option of the government,
was carried—3S yeas ; 26 nays.
Sherman moved to amend so as to make
the bonds redeemable at the pleasure ol
the government at any time after January
1st, 1887,
Harris’ offered an amendment amenda-
tory to an amen Iment to provide that the
new issue shall be three-year bonds, which
was adopted—ayes, 33 ; nays, 26.
An amendment ottered by Sherman,
allowing subscriptions to be made at pos-
tal money order offices, upon the postmas-
ter giving additional bonds, was agreed to.
Snerman’s amendment as modified to
provide for three year bonds, was lost—
y«as 25, nays 36.
The Senate then took up Vest’s amend-
ment, which makes the proposed issue ot
$20,000,009 ot three per cent, bonds as a
basis for an increase of circulation by any
National bank now in existence, or for the
circulation ot any National bank here
after established.
Pugh submitted amendments modifying
the provisions of Vest’s amendment, as
follows: First, making more emphatic
rhe provisions that it shall apply only to
banks hereafter organized or increasing
their capital; second, striking out the
provision which forfeits tiie charter of
National banks it it keeps bonds on de-
posit after they have ceased to bear inter-
est; third, making sections 5,159 and
5,160 of the Revised Statutes, which
Vest’s amendment re-enacts, apply to the
new three per cents.
The discussion followir g was participa-
ted in by Hill, of Georgia; Pugh, Beck
and Hawley, when it was agreed to defer
the vote until the amendment as pro-
posed to be amended, together with the
sections repealed and re-enacted thereby,
could be printed. Upon this agreement
the bill was informally laid aside.
Pending the motion for executive ses-

—There is a woman of Port-
ehester, N. Y, worth having in the
house—Mrs. Charles Vincent. One
night lately, while herhusbantl was
out, and nobody should have been
in but herself and a servant girl,
she went into the hall and saw
three men coming down stairs
with big bandies. She snatched
the bundle from the first man,
Hung it into a corner, throttled
the robber and threw him
heavily on the floor. She then
pushed the second man over

and she kicked the last one get-
ting oat of the door, and the terri-
fied servant girl stood back in the
nail and looked on in rapt admira-
tion. In the bundles were two
sealskin sacques, a seal dolman, a
camel’s-hair shawl, several dresses
and things worth in all $1,200.
