The Galveston News is making
every preparation for the issue of
.the .Central Texas edition, which
will appear at Dallas somo time in
Soptember. A fine office is boing
erected in a central part of the city,
a magnificent ¡improved press, of
the best make, is being built, and a
complete special font of type cast.
^The move is in every way a good
one, and as the paper will then be-
long to the state instead of* any one
town> wo would suggest that the
edition by the sea be known as the
Galveston News, while its more
northern twin shall bear the desig-
nator^ name of the Tfxas News,
belonging to no town or section,
but truly to the great empire state
of the South!

A sad accident occurred yester-
day, resulting in the death of James
L. Roussct, the third son of our es-
teemed citizen Mr. Roussct. It ap-
pears that James with a number ot
other youths were practicing acro-
batic feats in Mr. Theilen's yard,
jumping from a ladder and catch-
ing on to the grape arbor, after the
manner of the trapeize feat called
the " leap for life." The bovs had
successfully jumped from the se-
venth round of the ladder, when
Jimmy, more venturesome than the
rest, went a round higher, sprang,
missed his grasp and fell, striking
on his left side and producing inju-
ries of a fatal nature. The acci-
dent occurred Ixjtwcen nine and
ten o'clock in the morning and at
6 p. m. he died, fhe deceased was
a most bright, active and intelligent
boy nearly 14 years old and his
sudden death has been a great shock-
to his family. The remains were
buried this evening, a largo con-
course of citizens and nearly all his
school fellows, among whom he
was very popular, following the
corpse to its last resting place.

The free acrobatic performance
of the boys of troop I, giMpn last
night in the garrison, was wituessed
by quite a crowd. The horizontal
bar and wire walking acts were
well done. Stough and Pierce in
the leap for life, double trapeize act,
were admirable, and Edwards as
clown kept the people in a roar
with his funny jokes and songs.

Omaha, Neb. July 10—Geu.
Howard, commanding the (le
pai'ttnent of the Platte, re-
turned to Omaha last evening
from Salt Lake City, in which
place ho spent the 4th of July
He says there is grave appre-
hensions there over the feel
ing existing between the Gen-
tiles and Mormons, which has
been greatly intensified by the
Mormons half-masting the
American flag. Gen. How-
ard says serious trouble may
occur at any hour on the slight-
est pretext. Th« Gentiles and
U. S. soldiers are very indig-
nant. In anticipation of an
outbreak being precipitated
any day, the War Department
has made preparations fur it.
By ord<?r of General Howard
ttoops that were jto leave Fort
Douglas and Fort Laramie for
Kansas, to suppress the Che
yeimes, hare been retained at
those posts. A collision be-
tween Mormons and Gentiles
is looked for on the 24tl¡i of
thjs Uionth, which is a great
day with the Morinons, it be-
ing the anniversary of the set-
tlement of Utah. They conic
into Salt Lak<? City by thous-
ands on that day from all
parts of the territory. Should
they attempt to repeat any
such performance as the 'jarri
ed out on the 4th of July,
there will probably be blood-
shed.
Chicago, July 16—An op
parent craze has developed
here over the Pall Mall Ga-
zette revelations. The orders
taken by newsdealers for
copies of that journal are very
large, an advance premium of
50 cents per copy being paid.
George Ynder, 18 years old,
was arrested on the street by
the police for selling a reprint
from American newspapers
of the London Pall Mall Ga-
zette scandal. He was locked
up at the armory and will
have a hearing before a justice.
The arrest was made under
the ordinance prohibiting the
distribution of obscene litera
ture and a test case will be
made of it. A dozen lad", who
were hawking the pamphlets
on the streets, were unmo'est
ed. The hook is issued by a
Chicago firm who make a
specialty of printing sensa-
tional work. The morning
paper which printed the matter
originally and issued extra edi
tions has not boen molested
Washington, July 16—Gen-
eral Sheridan telegraphed the
