San* Antoxto. Tex.. July 27.—Galveston
showed up tiil.s evening, after a hard ride
from Dallas, in time to receive a most dis-
astrous defeat. There was not over 500
people in attendance, and the betting was
all in favor of San Antonio from start to
finish. The Galveston's playing was char-
acterized all through by indifferent bat-
ting. poor throwing, and the lowest sort of
fielding. Huns were piled up on them
seemingly without reason. Proeser, their
pitcher, was hit hard at times, but they
owe their Waterloo more to their lack of
interest than anything else. They had Proe-
ser ami Tray iii the points, who were op-
Cosed by Hoffman ana Kogers. Their first
aseman made costly errors of badly thrown
balls, and they could not bunch their hits.
Their solitary run was made by a scratch
only, and the biggest kind of luck saying
them from a shut-out.

A PROBABLE JUMP.
austin—san antonio—fort worth.
San Antonio, Tex., July 27.—The morn-
ing telegrams stating it was probable that
the San Antonio base-ball team would be
transferred to Fort Worth excited no sur-
prise and but littfe comment. The club
^vas originally formed for Austin, and \ras
too good for its toftti. It came to San An-
tonio and has proven itself entirely too
good for this town. The Chances are that it
will go to Fort Worth and will prove
itself too good for that town. Since its ad-
vent here the club has not been supported
in the style that its merit demanded. The
attendance has been very light, and, though
it has won games, there has been but little
enthusiasm for the past month. The play-
ers have been paid only half salary. Sonic
of them have grown rather discontented.
Sherry, the second baseman, one of the
prize members of the team, lias jumped
them, and when last heard of was in Aus-
tin. Ukotter, one of the pitchers, occupied
his place.
Manager McClosky states that ho does
not yet know that he will remove to Fort
Worth, as arrangements there have not
been completed,. but it is generally con-
sidered here that he will go.
EASE-BALL NOTES.
galveston dead losers.
The result of the present tour of the Gal-
veston Base-ball club is anything but en-
couraging to home pride. After losing
three straight games with Dallas the Gal-
vestons went to San Antonio yesterday and
lost a game there, thus losing every game
they have played since leaving Gaiveston.
The club now stands second in the league—
second from the tail end, and with such
playing it is not likely to advance very rap-

GRANDMA HARDIN.
An Old but "lost Kespected Lady in Texas
History at Kt'st.
Hillsporo, Tex., July 27.—There died in
this place on yesterday Mrs. Ann Hardin,
known all over the state as Grandma Har-
din. This most excellent lady lived to reach
the ripe old age of nearly four score
years. The last sixty-two years of
olier life were spent in Texas
j and for the last thirty-five years she has
| been a resident of tl.fa city. Mrs. Hardin
i is inseparably connected with the history of
| this great state. She came to Texas
in 1S27 ^ith the Stephen Austin
i colony, and with her parents set-
tled at Fort Nacogdoches, where the
present town of Nacogdoches now stands.
This place was then the very heart of a
wilderness teeming with wild and ferocious
Indians. In the early days of Texas she
was captured by a band of marauding In-
dians. and remained a captive in their
hands for some days, being finally rescued
from them by a gallant party of hardy
pioneers, just on the eve of being subjected
to horrible tortures. She was the first wo-
man married in Texas after the annexation.
Thirty-five years ago she removed with her
husband. Colonel Joe Hardin, to Hill coun-
ty, then the extreme western frontier, and
located in the midst of the vast prairie
where the thriving and prosperous city of
Hillsboro now stands.
Upon the organization of Hill county in
1853 and the laying off and locating of the
1 county seat at this place she opened the fa-
0 mous old Hillsboro hotel, and continued to
run it until a few years ago, when she
opened up a private boarding-house. She
was the first cousin of ex-Governor Rector,
of Arkansas, and also of Jeffersos Davis of
the southern confederacy. There are many
names indelibly inscribed on the pages of
Texan history that serve to make it glow
with surpassing brilliancy and splendor,
who in the halcyon days gone by delighted
to ride miles out of their way when crossing
the boundless prairies to partake of the hos-
pitality and good cheer of this lady's home.
ller remains were followed to their last
earthly resting place in this city this even-
ing by hundreds of her friends. As the
clods were thrown into her grave tears could
be seen coursing down many a bronzed and
beaten cheek, that had been a stranger to
such for years. Her death has cast a gloom
over the entire city.
A void has been created in the hearts of
all that time will never fill. Sheleavestwo
children, Mrs. W. B. Tarver of Ardmore, I.
T., and Mrs. William Veale of Brec-ken-
ridge, to mourn her loss.

prospective*rate war.
New York, July 27.—What looks like the
forerunner of a war in passenger rates was
j inaugurated at the meeting of the emigrant
clearing house representatives at the head-
quarters of the trunk lines to-day. It took
the form of a resolution to reduce immigrant
fares to Chicago from New York from $13
to s5. The resolution was approved by rep-
resentatives of these lines: Canadian Pa-
cific, Boston and Albany, New York Cen-
tral, West Shore, Ontario and Western,
Erie, Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, and the
Baltimore and Ohio. The resolution, though
not to-day adopted, will .undoubtedly be
adopted on Tuesday next.
A railroad man said after the meeting
that the cut was unprecedented since that
of the. Pennsylvania road three years ago,
at which time the New York Central went
out of the immigrant business. It was an
easy step from a cut in immigrant rates to
a cut in the other branches of the passen-
ger traffic.
meeting adjourned.
New York, July 27.—The Kansas and
Texas meeting has adjourned. President
Martinson says the report of the investigat-
ing committee was not submitted to the
board. It will not beready forseveral days.
Nothing but routine business was transact-
ed. No new communication has been re-
ceived from the Missouri Pacific. The
matter of a settlement with the Missouri
Pacific was not discussed to-day.
transcontinental rates.
CHICAGO, 111., July 87.—Chairman J. S.
Leeds of the Transcontinental association
has been conferring with Chairman J. W.
Midgely and J. N. Faithorn with a view to
agreeing upon groups embracing common
points from which newly adopted trans-
continental rates shall apply. He is now
trying to secure the attendance of the Cen-
tral Traffic association for similar purposes,
but as Chairman lieorge B. Blanchard is
away some delay is being experienced. It
has not been decided when the new rates
will go into effect.
A Ravis her Lynched.
Danville, Va., July 27.—In Halifax
county, near Meadesville, yesterday Bruce
Younger, colored, committed an assault
upon Mrs. Robert Dodge, who was in a del-
icate condition. He was arrested and sent
to jail at Halifax court-house. Last night
a party of men took Younger to a neighbor-
ing woods and hanged him to a tree. .
A Supposed Double Murder.
East St. Louis, 111., July 27.—Late last
evening a boy playing in Cahokia creek dis-
covered the bodies of two children floating
near by. He brought the remains ashore
and notified the coroner. The children were
about 0 months old and appeared to be
twins. They were a boy and a girl. The
girl's throat had been cut, but no marks of
violence were on the boy. The case is sup-
posed to be a double murder.
He Is Wanted.
Denver, Col., July 27.—George F. Wilson,
who for some time past has been associated
with Mr. Nix in the Albany hotel and-with
Mr. Lowe in the Fort Collins sandstone
quarries, has disappeared and is wanted by

to tlie extent of .iGO.OOO by Wilson's transac-
tions.
Dallas Local News.
DALLAS, Tex., July 27.—The county demo-

TRADE TOPICS.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s Review of Trade for the
Past ^i'eeJc.
New York, July 27.—It. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly trade reviewsays: The improvement
coutinues. The collapse of the Western
Manufacturers' association has set nearly
all the mills at work, and makes pig iron
firmer, but bar iron weaker. Stocks have
| been strengthened by a decision arresting
j the enforcement of the Iowa rates. Wars
| of rates do not cease, and interstate decis-
| ions on many important cases are deferred.
| The net earnings of 42 roads in May showed
1 a loss of 8.4 per cent, though their gross
! earnings gained 6.4 per cent, and the
j gains in gross earnings for July have been
less than half as large. Statements show
! that 2428 miles of road have been placed in
the hands of receivers during the half year,
with £153,050,000 bonds and stocks against
only 428 miles and $26,200,000Jbonds and
stocks for the first half of last year, but the
average m ice of stocks has risen about £1 40
per share, though less strong of late. Re-
ports of domestic trade are almost uniform-
ly encouraging for the dullness that yet pre-
vails. Improvement appears at many
points. The clearings at all cit-
ies exceed last year by 10.3 per
cent, and outside of New York by 5.5 per
cent, with larger gains at Boston, Chicago
and New Orleans. The complaints of slow
collections increase, however, especially in
Connecticut, with the distribution of manu-
factured goods. At Philadelphia and Pitts-
burg a better feeling appears in metal
branches, and at Baltimore and Detroit in
dry goods and boots and shoes, but eastern
manufacturers are still uncertain. The
foreign trade for June showed imports ex-
ceeding exports by $13,208,340, and for half
a year the excess was *01,403,220. Against
this the net exports of gold and silver for
the half year were ?17,488,331 50. so that
when interest and undervaluations are con-
sidered the movement of foreign capi-
tal this way appears to have exceeded
$100,000,000 for the half year. The exports
of merchandise from New York in July
show a decreaso of 8 per cent in value
against 1 per cent in imports, and for last
year exports have been smaller than in
any other year since 1878 except the years
1885 and 18S6, when imports have only been
exceeded in the years 1881 and 1882, and then
tliev were less than $10,000,000. Speculative
markets are not active and wheat has
changed hut little, Crop prospects have
caused corn to decline l>ic and oats 3 ic, but
lard, pork and hogs are stronger, oil
is Vi weaker and cotton and coffee un-
changed. The treasury has taken in during
the past week $2,000,000 mote money than it
has paid out, bqt repprts frpm all interior
points represent money in ample supply for
all legitimate business, with a general de-
ficiency demand. Once more the country
closes a crop year with a surplus of over
51,000,000 bushels of wheat on hand unsold,
and latest reports [indicate that the supply
for export during the coming year will exceed
145,000,000 bushels, the exports for the past
year having been less than 120,000,000 bush-
els. The failures attending the half yearly
settlements have been numerous for four
weeks. The number in the United States
has been 821, against 594 last year, but in
Canada only 82 against 95 last year. The
business failures during the last seven days
number 221 as compared with 228 last year
and 240 the week previous to the last corre-
sponding week of last year's failures, which
numbered 164.
CENTRAL CITY NEWS.
A Young Frisoner Tries to Commit Suicide—
The Political Prospects.
WACO, Tex., July 27.—Allen Cooper was
fined $5 by Justice McKee yesterday for as-
sault and battery. In default of payment of
the fine and costs he was committed to jail
and ordered to the county convict farm. He
is a young man of sensitive nature and in-
dustrious and was engaged to be maH-ted.
In prison he referred to his predicament
despondently and told his cellmate that he
would commit suicide. A bottle of morphia
sulphus in solution was in one of the cells,
and. an opportunity presenting itself, he
and swallowed
seized it
swallowt
the entire potion,
saying, as he handed the empty bottle to its
owner, "you may set this on the top of my
grave." In a short time hesank in a stupor.
County physicians Halbert and Foseue
were summoned at 1 p. m. They were work-
ing to save the young man, with a good
prospect of success.
A committee of the city council and
President C. W. White of the Waco Water
company held a conference to-day. It was
the first time for two years that the city
council and the Waco Water company have
been inclined to confer, formal communica-
tion in writing during the period
named having been the only inter-
change. The object of the con-
ference was to make arrangements
for a temporary water supply against fire.
The council committee offered President
White $70 per annum for the use of the
eighty hydj'ants of the water company. He
wanted $75. The meeting ended without
agreement as to price.
President WhltJ said, however, that he
would not shut off the hydrants, but would
leave them at the disposal of the city and
trust to a vote of the council to allow him
a fair price for the use of the fire hydrants.
Pending permanent arrangement Mayor
A. Henchman has been authorized by the
city council to advertise for bids for build-
ing a system of waterworks to conform with
the plans and specifications furnished
by an expert. The mayors aid to-night that
he would advertise in The Dallas and Gal-
veston News, the Waco Day and the Globe-
Democrat.
United States Marshal John F. Rankin of
the western district of Texas has demanded
of United States Marshal W. L. Cabell of the
northern district the return of John Gray,
the robber of the San Angelo and Ballinger
stage coach anilUnited States mail. Marshal
Cabell and United States District Attorney
Pearre have conceded the point raised that
the stage robbery with which Grav is ac-
cused occurred in Tom Green, and not in
Runnels county, and is therefore in the
jurisdiction of' the northern district, and
not the western. The robbery occurred
nearly on the boundary line of the two
counties.
Gr»y will be removed from Waco to the
Western district for trial.
Mr. James J. Moore employed workmen
six weeks ago to bore an artesian well on
his premises, in the western portion of the
city. To-night, after reaching a depth of
1180 feet, they struck a vein. Tho water is
flowing steadily in a strong, spurty stream.
It is clear, cold freestone water. 'It is tho
first artesian well of W aco.
The democratic judicial convention will
assemble in the county court-house at 11
o'clock to-morrow morning for tho purpose
of nominating a democratic candidate for
district judge of the Nineteenth judicial
district of Texas, composed of the counties
of Falls and McLennan. There promises to
be quite a hot time in the convention. Falls
county, which has seven votes in
the convention, has instructed her cklegates
to vote solidly and continuously for the
Hon. B. H. Rice of Marlin, while McLen-
nan county has instructed her delegates to
vote for the Hon. John R. Dickinson of
Waco, if the deadlock continues for the
next two years. The Falls county delega-
tion is composed only of a few
gentlemen, but they are all em-
inent gentlemen and staunch
in the advocacy of Rice, while tho represen-
tation from McLennan is made up of about
forty delegates, and it is believed that some
of them will not be so inflexible in their
support of the man they are instructed to
support. A very warm day is expected in
politics.

MEXICAN ITEMS.
[From the Two Republics.]
The following is a translation of the offi-
cial report which the prefect of Silao fur-
nished'to the governor of the state of Guan-
ajuato in reference to the inundations which
took place there: About 5 o'clock in the
morning a large volume of water rushed
close to the side of the bridge toward the
western part of the town. I was then forced
to order a levee eighty meters in length to
be torn down, so that the current would
divide into two streams. This done, the
streams rushed in the same western direc-
tion. Owing to the sccond current, tho river
broke through at a point near an orchard
called El Aduanero, increasing the volume
of water that invaded the town. The water
penetrated all the streets of the city, but
with greater force and to a greater height
toward the south and west. The inhabit-
ants were frightened and panic-stricken,
some crying and ail lamenting their fate,
while with the water up to their waists
they were trying to save their children and
valuables. Only one person perished, a
little child 4 months old, through the want
of presence of mind of the person carrying
it, who dropped it on being overturned by
the current. The houses destroyed by the
inundations were 452 in number, amount-
ing in value to #28,280.
From a pamphlet lately published by tho
ks
_ i wages, p:
tions, etc., in so'mo of the municipalities of
department of public works the following
information concerning the wages, produc-
the state of Oaxaca is gathered:
Municipality of Ocotlan—Field laborers
get cents per day. Labor is plentiful.
Tho principal productions are corn and
beans.
Municipality of San Juan Chileteca—
field laborers get 18V cents per day. They
are in sufficient numbers. The principal
productions are 1 leans, corn and sugaf cane.
There are no lands for sale.
of
The same facts apply to the municipalities
Santo Tomas Jalieja, San Pedro Guer-
gorexe, Santo Domingo Jalieza and Santo
Cecilia y Jalieza, excepting that no sugar
cane is produced in these municipalities.
On the municipalities of San Geronimo
Jeglache and Santa Catarina Minas farm
laborers are paid 18 cents per day, and they
are plentiful. Rice, beans and corn are its
principal productions. Tho same remarks
are applicable to the municipality of San
Miguel Telquepam. In the Ouergorene and
San Pedro Taviche municipalities the. daily-
amount paid laborers is 18% cents, while in
Geronimo Taviche salaries are a little high-
er, nevertheless they never are mora than 25
r day.
In point of fact it m'jty be stated that the
cents per i
average salary of a farm hand in the agri-
cultural districts of Oaxaca, a little re-
moved from the capital, is not more than
18% cents per day.
The bones of 1930 bodies which have re-
posed for the past ten years in the Dolores
cemetery have been exhumed according to a
municipal decree ordering their removal
from that graveyard.
Last week a man in Nashville, Tenn., be
gan to think himself bewitched and to stand
iii danger of arrest as a counterfeiter as
well. The trouble was that silver money
would get into hispocketall right and come
out unmistakably bad, and there was a
pretty how-d'ye-do till he recalled that
shortly beforo lie had pocketed the broken
bulk of a thermometer, and tho quicksilver
from it was what ailed his coin.
That Tired Feeling
Tho warm weather has a debilitating efTott,
especially upon thoso who «r within doors most
oC the time. Tho peeullar, yet common, com-
plaint known as "that tired feeling," is the
result. This feeling can he entirely overcome by
taking Hood's SarsAparilla, which gives new life
and strength to all tho functions of the body.
"I could not sloep; had no appetite. I took
Hood's Sarsaparilla and soon began to sleep
soundly; could get up without that tired and
languid feeling; and my appetite improved."
