not make him a subject for arrest.

Mayor's Court.
The fiist case called Tuesday
morning was Peter Linn, charged
with creating and maintaining a nu-
isance. It appears that Linn was
building a powder magazine for
Marx, Kuehti. & Co. 011 a lot pur-
chased by them. A number of citi-
zens of the 3d ward became excited
thereat and filed a complaint. The
case was continued.

A. R. Collins & Co. have dug a
well on one of their places a few
yards southwest of the park, which
proves to he an artesian well in a
small way. The well was dug in
the usual way to the depth of sixty-
five feet, where being in hard rock,
the drill was brought into requisition
and put down ten feet further, where
a goood vein of water was struck,
which has raised until it stands
twenty feet in the well, or thirty
feet from the bottom of the drill.
That well will furnish a never fail-
ing supply, and of good water too.

I With a remarkable falling off in
business, and prospects of losing the
cotton trade the coming season, the
Sherman Courier shows considera-
ble nervousness. The citizens, too,
have caught the infection (or more
likely the editor caught it from the
citizens.) But be this as it may,
there is a general uneasiness mani-
fested at the cross roads.il Their lat-
est attempt to raise the wind is to
call a railroad meeting—the narrow
gauge scheme is to be revived.
There is already a perfect net-work
of those roads centering in Sherman
—on paper- Friday evening the
citizens met at the court house to
devise ways and. means, etc., etc.

The northwest part of the city is
just now agitated over a little do-
mestic scandal, which bids fair to
develop into something rich. The
allegations of the wife are that a
year alter marriage the husband,
who is of a violent temper, began a
series of petty persecutions, the
purpose of which being to drive her
out of the house, or as he expressed
it, to make the place too hot for her.
The wife says the trouble began one
day by a boy spilling some hominy.
This enraged the husband and he
stormed and swore like a trooper,
for he isot'au economical turn, and
has proved his financial abilities by
making his wife since their marriage
pay for the board of her sister.
To make her jealous, he began
flirting with younger women in- the
neighborhood, and met one of them
in Forest Park, where had previous-
ly arranged to take her.
This beautiful beast at one time
threatened to brain his wife with a
billet of wood, another was to shoot
her, and in addition to this, she had
a suspicion that he had attempted to
poison her. The woman has left
the beast of a husband, and is at the
present living with a neighbor.* |
Robert Russell stopped the re-
porter of the News on the street yes-
terday and related a mournful tale.

The Denison Gun Club has or
dered 1000 pigeons from the city of

The Kruit Pronpeot.
Our reporter interviewed Mr. Ed.
Perry, the fruit king of Grayson
county, yesterday, in regard to our
prospects, with the following result:
Peaches will make a fair crop, al-
though some varieties have suffered
much more than - others from the
effects of late fiosts. The Chinese
Cling has almost entirely dropped
off. The Amsden Alexander and
Hale's Early have all suffered more
or less from the same cause, but
enough are left to make a fair aver-
age crop. All these varieties are
from five to six weeks later in
blooming than last year. The early
Bernard, which was- in lull bloom
at the time of the severe storm of
March 14th, gives better indications
for a full crop than any other single
variety. The Early Crawfords are
full, and as a general thing, all vari-
eties likening later than the Craw-
ford will yield well.
Grapes were never- more promis-
ing at this season of the year than
now.
Strawberries suffered from the
severe drouth of last year, and are
backward botli in growth and pro-
duction. The crop will hardly be
an average one.
Plums have suffered materially,
the Wild Goose more than the
Chickasaw. Fruit men generally
are coming to the conclusion that
the Wild Goose plum is not a suc-
cess in this climate.
Kittatiny blackberries are in a
flourishing condition and promise
well. Lawton blackberries in some
localities are suffering trom the rust.
Raspberries as a rule are a failure,
and it is now generally conceded
that they cannot be successfully
grown here.
Apples and pears will make a fair
crop.
On the whole this may be consid-
ered a successful fruit season, and
the amount seeking market from
this point will be largely in excess
of anything heretofore known.
The Cyclone.
The latest intelligence from
Marshfield confirms our previous re-
pot t of the terrible .disaster, and in-
dicates that there was no exaggera^
tion as to the number of lives losl
as is too frequently the case with
unauthenticated reports. I11 addi-
tion to the one hundred and six
killed in the town itself, a large
number of dead bodies have been
found on the adjacent prairies and
suburbs, and it is now said that the
loss ot life will approximate two
hundred.
The sad work of searching for the
dead was continued all day yes-
terday and several new vic-
tims were found among the
ruins, Nearly one-half of thebodies
of the killed are so badly mutilated
and crushed out of all semblance to
humanity that they cannot be recog-
nized. The fire fiend seems to have
finished what the whirl-wind spared,
and a number of people are reported
missing of whom no trace whatever
can be found. Train men passing
through the scene of the dreadful
disaster report that the desolation
and ruin is indescribable. There
has been no attempt made so far to
give the names of the killed and
wounded.

The Gunnison.
The following extracts are made
from a letter concerning the Gunni-
son country: The mineral resources
are.immense, and will soon astonish
the world, being yet in their infancy.
Little work is done at present on ac-
count of the snow which covers
the mountains. Float, earring sil-
ver, is found everywhere, and one
piece carried forty-five ounces, which
shows the existence of some large
veins of deposit. There are no
deep workings, minerals being found
close to the surface, and one of t.he
deepest shafts is down only fifty feet.
Gold is found everywhere. If any
one in Denison is determined to visit
Colorado for mining purposes, ad-
vise them to go to the Gunnison
country.
special meeting of the city
council will be held this evening for
the purpose of examining the pow-
der magazine business. Marx,
Keuhn & Co. were instructed re-
cently by a New York firm to have
a powder magazine built. They
bought a lot in Layne's addition be-
tween Day and Munson street, for
that purpose, and contracted with
Mr. Linn for the building of the
same. As soon as the people in that
neighborhood became aware of their
intention to build a powder maga-
zine they filed a complaint and drew
up a petition to the,- council to pro-
hibit the erectioi

The Plying Trapeze.
The readers of the News will re-
collect the last time Adam Fore-
paugh's circus visited Denison, the
beautiful blonde performers on the
flying traprze were an especial at-
traction. One evening last week
ten thousand people assembled un-
der the immense pavillion of the cir-
cus in Philadelphia. The famous
female trapeze performer, known on
the stage and in the arena as Mile.
Lotto, but whose real name is Lucy
Davine, a very pretty girl of 18
years, came out to execute her start-
ling acts, and was enthusiastically
welcomed.
At one side of the-ring her moth-
er, Mrs. Davine, was suspended by
the feet from a bar, and in her hands
she held the feet of Mr. Davine, her
husband, who also hung with head
down and hands outstretched, ready
to catch his daughter when she
should swing from the other side of
the ring. Mille. Lotto mouiited a
pedestal fifteen feet high, and sprang
to catch the bar which hung about
three feet above her. Her aim was
to get her feet against the bar about
the same time that her hands would
catch, but her grasp failed and she
(ell heavily back, striking her head
against the pedestal, and thence
dropping to the ground, where she
lay unconscious and bleeding.
"Oh, my God! my child 1" ex-
claimed Mrs. Davine, still suspended
at the other side of the rind and
holding her husband by the feet.
The rope was lowered, Mr. Da-
vine sprang to the ground, quickly
followed by his wife, and in an in-
stant both were by the side of their
daughter. M'lle Lotto was carried
to a private apartment before the
audience could realize the extent of
her injuries, a.id the circus perform-
ance went on without any further in-
terruption. *
There was a long, deep cut in the
back of the girl's head. The side
of the head was badl> bruised, and
there were strong symptoms of con-
cussion of the spine. In an hour or
two she became partly conscious,
but the physicians have no hope of
her recovery.

Special to the Dallas Herald
San Antonio, April 19.—Com-
mercial circles were excited this
morning by the announcement of the
suspension of B. Oppenheimer &

caused by speculating in cotton fut-
ures. Liabilities, $200,000. They
claim assests to the amount of $150,-
000, including real estate and per

assignee, with a bond of $75,000.
Almost universal regret is felt at
their misfortune.
