Damages toy Fire,.
One day. when the wlna was high,
during last November, sparks from a
Missouri Pacific locomotive ignited the
grass field of Mr. M. K. Hall, resident Ut
the southern portion of Tarrant county.
Fanned by the frosty breeze, the flames
swept the property of fencing posts.
Mils, and every vestage of material tire
M ableto-devonr. AfMr the fence was
gone the cattle came and added
bv
the act of dropping from It to the ground.
This sight somewhat stupefied him and
he stood inactive for a few moments.
But not very long, for scarcely had
the man * reached the ground
ere be saw his wife lean through the
window, and drop a pair of boots, a bat,
coat, vest, collar and nsck-tie after him.
It should have been remarked before
that when the man lauded on the ground
all the clothing lie had on wa3 panta-
loons. ebirt und stockings. Number one
utterell a yell and made a dive to cap-
ture the intruder. The latter dodged
him, cleared the fence at a bound and
struck off like a startled deer, leaving
his clothing on the ground. He was
hotly pursued. Neither spoke a word
and they were not more than thirty
feet .apart. The husband had the ad-
vantage, as be who sought safety in
flight was in his stocking Jeet, and tlia
coarse road was not calculated to in-
spire his racing energies,. However,
the race was kept up for fully fifteen
minutes. Sevehil streets were tri>

curves made, and at last they met, lace
to face, pauting and out of breath, by
the side of the brick stable, on Tliird
street, near Throckmorton. "You d—d
villain. I've got you," hissed number
one. "So you have," laconically an-
swered number two. It was the pro-
fessional friend and favored guest, and
tiie rage of the outraged husband can
be immagined. Number one had a cane
a-id raited it to strike. Number two
dared him. telling liim plainly that if
he laid an angry hand on him he would
kill him. The professional man being
the more powerful of the two, the mer-
chant determined that it would be use-
less to risk a hand-to-hand encounter.
The false friend informed the husband
that he would give hiin any satis-
faction he demanded, and wheeling
around stalked haughtily away. The
injured husband returned to bis now
desolate home. He first carefully pick-
ed up the articles of raimeut tnat lay

Will lecture at the First Baptist church
Monday night. 6th instant, on the his-

disclosures of the great wonder of the
ages.
Itead what the St. Louis Press say
of the Lecture: *
[From the St. Ixmis Globe-Democrat of
March itd, 1*52.]
The Y. M!. C. A. flail was densely
packed last night to hear the Rev. Dr.
Ford's lecture on the "Great Pyramid."
Many were compelled tostaud,but 6uch
was the interest that they remained, al-
though the lecturer spoke fully an hour
and a half. At the close the audience
rose to their feet, and In this way pre-
sented a unanimous request that Dr.
Ford deliver a second and supplemental
lecture on the same subject at the V. M.
C. A. Ifis promise to do so was received
with applause, and l e w ill deliver the
second lecture at an early date.
[From tbe Missouri Republican.]
One of the most deeply interesting and
attractive lectures ever delivered in St!
I.onis.
[From the Weeklv Bulletin of the Y. M.
0. A.]
We have never seen an audience more
delighted than was the one addressed
at our hall by Rev. S. II. Ford, 1). IX,
LL. D.. on the Great Pyramid of Gtzeh.
Dr. Ford delivered the lecture Sunday
evening, March 2.">th, and the bearing of
the subject religiously made it fully ap-
propriate to the occasion. The lecturp
is profound In research, beautiful in
o!ua>eolo^'y, fascinating and enchanting
ihe attention, delightfully delivered,
impressive in statement and deduction,
and • altogether deserving the highest
rank us a platform hctUi'e for I'Oih the
elements of instruction and entertain-
ment. Many who could not lind seats
remained standing throughout tbeten-
