passed an uncomfortable night but
thero was choei fulness displayed on j reiiIlfrj jn OOI1IC or barouche. These
exhibitions were unusuaiiy interesting
all sides. To thoso wlu liavo stood
tho brunt of tho work there is a feel-
ing of relief in the thought that this
is the last day notwithstanding the
fact that there lias been much pleasure
pride and success in the whole.
Human nature will wear out.
and many olllcials and em-
ployes arc natch worn and feel
a down-right relief in the close of tho
Fair and .Exposition.
Tho exercises yesterday concluded
with the firemen's tournament which
camo off at a lato hour in the evening.
Tho competition Was between tho Tcr-
icll Hose Company and tho Fort
Worth Hose Company for fastest run
and first water. Tho exercises were
not as interesting ns they would have
been if there had been a supply of
water which the hydrant in front of
tho Exposition building failed to sup-
pi). Tho Fort Worth company cap-
tured tho prizo with case. The
Terrell company failed the first time
by the falling to the grouud of two
incu in tho act of leaping from the
cart with tho hoso in front of the hy
drant and the next run was a failure j
on account ot tlio nozzle tho cart
carrying tho same quite a distance be-
yond where the hose was coupled and
to bo detached. Tho run of tho Ter-
rell Hook and Ladder Comnnnv was
very good. Ihe run was 2.10 feet
in 81 seconds. Tho climber T. Adsctt
reached on his first trial tho top of tho
labder in 12 seconds. Tho best time
lie made was in 8 6ccouds. Tho Den-
ton company which was to participate
in tho contest did not arrivo on tho
ground in timo to tako part.
No dav has thero been such activity

Crlgiual without question.

The Klcctloii.
All the ward returns have not. been
sent in to the county clerk's office and
their official count cannot bo given.
Why men with a thimblelul of brains
who conduct ele lions cannot send in
their returns ns soon as completed
Is something that no man can find out.
Enough is entertained however to
know that Esquire 'J'. (i. T. Kendall is
timiiceos iho peace by a
majority of thirty-six over Mr. Gilles-
pie who was second to him. Jlns

A l'robntilo Hrecsec.
About two years ago the city was
kept iu a state of excitement for some
little time by attempted outrages late
in tho night on servant girls in uenrly
every instanco white ones. Finally an
attempt was made on tho wife of one
of our most prominent citizens he be-
ing away from home in Europe at the
time. Tho negro made a violent at-
tempt and thero beiiijr some light iu
tho room the lady in her scufllo with
him caught so good a sight of his
face as to feel assured sho would
know him again. Several negroes
were arrested on suspicion but all
wero rcienscd. Finally a negro who
answered tho description so well that
ho was arrested in a a'lachfe lie
being a stranger thero too and was
lailed. Sheriff Smith weut after him
with two deputies iu a hack and on
his return to Dallas with him ho was
overpowered a few miles from tho
citv by a disguised and armed crowd
and the negro taken from him. He
was brought ou to near the end of the
bridgo across tho river and it being
then some hours in tho night ho was
taken out to ono side of tho road and
hung despite the protests and efforts
of Sheriff Smith and his deputies. It
seems that a good many if not all the
crowd engaged iu tho lynching have
sinco been found out aud now from
whispers and little conversations
picked up it is not at all unlikely that
a breeze 19 going to be stirred up and
uu vfforl made to have all parties en-
gaged indicted for murder. If this is
done there will bo a breeze raised
indeed. It is said proof ample of
idcntitlcation of nearly if not all the
IvneliPrs will bo furnished tho grand
jury if tho prosecution be attempted.
Standard Mowers.
Tho farmers' Standard Slower ex-
hibited at tho Dallas Fair and reposi-
tion bv Emcrsou. Talcot & Co. were
carefully examined by hundreds of
farmers. The Standard six and seven
foot cut mowers are sold by this firm
under a guarantee of running as light
as the four loot cut. This tlnu express
themselves as well pleased with the
attention paid them by visitors.
The corner of Sycamore street and
Pacific avenuo was the sccno of a small
excitement about 11 o'clock over a
false alarm of fire.
