they were, and, according to one report,
as to what they had been, and bluntly,
and most politely, Informed them that
they could not be presented to his sister.

fill.—Exchange.
But the Republic struck bottom a
time or two back of Mr. Arthur, and
may now bo said to have ^in upward
tendency in spite of the slanderous pub-
lications in regard to the representative
head of the nation, which are not credi-
ted except where the wish Is father to
the thought. Mr. Arthur may not be of
tho grandest or most gigantic type of
intellectual or moral manhood but he is
neither a lunatic nor an idiot,through the
truth of the injurious rumors would
prove him one or the other.
H. CrixKX, a stow-away found on the
Glamorgan, when one day out from Liv-
erpool, said the Dublin authorities wero
after him because of his connection with
the Phoenix Park murder. He said he had
been accused, and would have been
called upon to identify men under ar-
reBt. He intimated that he knew a good
deal the authorities would like to know,
'''he chief engineer informed Cnpt.
Court of Cullen's talk, but In the storm
Cullen had his neck broken and died
soon after he was put on board the Re-
public, The other stow-away, Thos.
Doss, who was with Cullen was sus-
pected and arrested, but denies having
anything to do With the murder. John
Walsh was arrested at Havre, France,
on Thursday. „ It is said ho avowed his
murder.
Cua.ules Imbkkt, tbo relapsed
lunatic at Dallas, "imagines himself
a bottle of soda constantly on tbo

There is a follow in Fort Wortl^
who "imagines" tho same thing
is "constantly" exploding, and , by
ho is permitted to run at largo. | th"

The agreomont of tho conl'c^
committoo on the tariff bills yting
day, probably assures tho passa^ .
the bill with the sonate amondmetf,. ,
and tbo concessions of tbo conference*
According to tho Democratic theory,
tho wholo bill is a fraud and a moro
pioce of patchwork to bolster tho
falling dynasty. It is iiot what tho
country has demanded, but tho Bo-
publicans will herald it to tho coun-
try as a boon to the pooplo and tbo
crowning glory of the party.

Tho Baal Bstato Pulse.
The real estatd hiarket has boon ex-
ceptionally good during tho past week.
Unquestionably thisja the best barome-
ter hy which to gauge tho property of a
community, for it may be said down an
a certain fact that When real property
oommands a good price, business of all
kinds is In a healthy condition. In or-
der to ascertain the state of the market;
a Democrat reporter uiade a pilgrimage
to the various real estate offices to-day,
and found the following* views prevail-
ing:
Col. Twombly said that his house had
several inquiries during tho week, and
made a couple of good sales. There is
great demand for western grazing land
and also for small farms. City property
Is looking up and commands a good
price. Improved city property is most-
ly called for, though all kinds can be
readily sold. Building lots In the busi-
ness part of the town are In doiuand and
from present appearances it would seem
as If wo were on the eve of a building
boom.
Mr. T. P. Martin, of Kneeland, Littlo-
1ohn& Martin, said there was great de-
mand for all klndsof real property l<Qts
for business houses were eagerly sought
and there waa a fair demand for dwell-
ing sites. Rents wero in great demand,
and as a consequence there was very
little to be had In that line. There were
numerous inquiries for western lands^
and a few good sales at fair prices.
Capt.Paddock .of tho Texas Investment
Company, said the demand for real prop-
erty was increasing. Western wild
lands were eagerly sought for, aud there
were some inquiries for farms.
Mr. Wheeler, of Whoeler & Willis,
said the market waa very good and
showed evident signs of improvement.
Pasture lands in tho west were much
looked for, and city property is much
looked for and holds its own.
Mr. Zane Cetti said the market was
exceedingly good. All kinds of real
property were in demand, but improve
ed city property seemed to stand at the
top. Could not attribute the general
demand for property to any one cause.
A prosperous season seemed imminent.
— o
on Thursday, it is said he avo
complicity In the Phrenlx Park
No. 3 West Weatherford Stmt,
Fort Worth, Texas.
Two bisc-Shootors.
. P. C. West, once a district clerk of a
western county by appointment, was
arrested by Deputy Sheriff Jimmy
Thomason last night, while attempting
to bring on an affray with a man whom
he had invited twdrink. When searched
a six-shooter was found on his person,
and this morning he was fined $25 for
the offense of unlawfully carrying the
plsto). In writing the motion for a new
trial he added the following words to
the usual formula:
"And defendant furthermore states
that he has been robbed "
Recorder Feild demanded an expla-
nation nnd West stated that when he
awoke in the calaboose he found his
pockets empty. His effects were re-
turned to him by the officer with the
explanation that It was customary to
empty person's pockets prior to com-
mitment to the calaboose. On this,
West, with a bewildered look, withdrew
his motion, paid his fine and departed.
George Kelly, was fined $27.30 on a
similar charge. Ho also pal^hls fined.

Average allowance of white pupils 67
per cent. Average allowance or
tendance
col-
ored pupils 38 per cent. While the at-
tendance has Increased over the past
week In all the schools, there is still n
lack
of punctuality on the port of the
pupils, notably in the colored, and also
in several of the white schools. The at-
tention of parents Is directed to this,
and now that the weather Is better, and
the health of the city good, It Is hoped
that the schools may all soon reach their
former actual enibllment and attend-
ance.
