Pai.t.as, Tov.. October 1.".—There wore
clouds in t ho northwest 011 Sunday night
nud the thunder growled. Optimists de-
clared l hnt it was the usual Dallas link
and that it would rain just to lay the dust
for the race to-day. Pessimists declared
that it would rain and that the track would
Tie muddy, or if that wore not the case
there would Ijo enough moisture to
keep away the crowd. But it did not rain;
the sun came up as it has come up now for
many days cheerfully bright. The crowd
did not commence to go into the gates until
about 11 o'clock. The town is 11 little slow
to get up on .Monday, and the strangers did
not get 111 before that time.
l.ibcrnti's famous military band of New
York was as fresh and musical as ever and
encouraged by the evidences of appreciation
civen it 011 the day before by the public, did
better work than ever, if such n thing were
possible with such an extraordinary musi-
cal combination, and musicians say that the
band has reached tho limit in the perfection
of harmony. l.iberati's soles were ap-
plauded again and again. He throws him-
self into tlie work because he loves it and
not for the clapping of hands or the cries of
"Bravo," which also greet him.
The machinery in all the lnills wns
brushed off clear and put in the very best of
order for the inspection of the multitude
that is to gaze upon it this week, and what
a wonderful sight is that, hall. How thor-
oughly it demonstrates that there is 110
limit to the human mind. Looking at the
Implement for the economy of labor a mail
can partially believe that men once planted
by making holes in the ground with a stick
and reaped with sickle. And this progress
from the stick has beep made within a few
years, though the world isold and men have
cultivated its surface for thousands of
years. If, was when they made bricks with
straw, gfound corn with a pestle in
a nvwiar and plowed tho land with
o»n'' and a forked stick, that the
agricultural business made the perspir-
ation heavy enough to watei* tho plants,and
even in later times there has been a great
lack of fun and en joyment in it. The man
who has plowed with an old time shovel
plow, in the new ground where the roots
are plentiful and long, with a hungry, iiea-
bitten gray as a steed, knows this. .Many a
boy who would have made a good farmer
and good citizen has been driven into
the law and newspaper business because
of the shovel plow, new ground and
llca-bitten, fractions gray horse. But farm-
ing is fun if the implements displayed for
the business can be taken in evidence. The
•hovel plow went the way of the forked
*tick. The shovels are still ill existence,
but the plow handles that used to jerk the
small Ixiy up on the back of the horse when
the agricult ural implement hit the roots has
civen way to wheels and a seat and, may-
hap. an umbrella. The seat is on springs
and is cushioned, and an umbrella covers
the head of him whose ancestors used to
plod their weary way down the rows till
they were so tired that they would stumble
over a lump of dirt as hitt as a walnut.
Those were hard times for the old folks, but
they were not the least smarter, they would
have had wheels and cushions and um-
brellas latig before those conveniences
came around. The sickle gave away
to the scythe and the cradle, but the old
crooked knife was stubborn nud would not
yield till about forty years ago. Tho scythe
Was thought to be a great invention as a
man could actually stand up and cut grass
Without getting down on his knees. The
cradle was an improvement on the scythe,
but an improvement consisting of line
wooden fingers attached so us to
gather the grain and these men
thought, that the limit had been
reached in the mattetof economy in har;
>-VEsting. The work its attending an-
noyances in the way of bumblebees, yellow
jackets and hornets, which always make it
convenient to rest in tho best part of the
field. Then the plowman of the spring had
to tie up the wheat, put the samein shocks,
and in fact do many things that made life
miserable for him. All that is gone forever
now.
A buggy, armed with bright razor blades,
goes through the grass and lays it low,
while phaetons, armed with the same
blades, go out into the fields that wave with
the .wind, and cutting down the golden
stalks, bind them and deposit them in con-
venient form for the luxuriously raised
youth who leisurely piles them up and puts
them on a wagon. How that youth's
ancestor had to hustle while

longer pulled by man, but a horse. The
old tree-top that used, to be dragged
through tho fields to smash clods
has given away to pulvorlzeiXand harrows
that .cut, drop, mash and pulverize clods,
and are constructed so that they go up on
knolls or down iu hay wallows for the
same, where a clod may secret itself. One
of these modern inventions attending
strictly to business, will find it where the
old tree top only did work in high places.
There is the gin, one of the greatest in-
ventions of this or any other age. the crea-
tion of Eli Whitney's brain. That Kli who
got there just one time and made his name
live as long a3 the cotton shall grow, but
the gin now is not the gin of then, but the
principle on which Whitney built it has
never been changed. Man's ingenuity lias
been devoted to only two or three tilings
In the gin, one is to make it do
more work with less waste, the
other to economize labor by making it do
certain labor that hired hands have to do,
and the other to prevent it from eating up
the hands and arms and in fact the entire
body of the men who came within
reach of its deadly teeth. Much has been
done in this direction. Now the cotton is
Bucked up in a pipe from a

Then there are cotton presses unat-

presses for all things that must be pressed
for market. The machine is hero for rick-
ing hay or stacking it witli its iron claws,
the machine that would have delighted the
old Israelites who had to make brick with -
out straw, a machine that swallows three
or four pounds of dirt and turns out a

drops an iron wedge into the earth till

I'liEMltJMS AWARDED.
Dai.i.As, Tex., October 13.—The display of
Jersey cattle at the fair grounds is a sight
to delight the eyes of Jerseymcn and an evi-
dence that that breed is getting a strong
foothold in this country. The whole dis-
play, amounting to some 800, was brought
out in front of the grand stand to-day for
the distribution of premiums among tho
most meritorious. There was rv large
crowd of spectators present, and Marshal
Dills had his hands full keeping the people
back so the judges could see the cattle.
There was such a diversity of opinion as to
where the ribbons belonged that it fre-
quently became necessary that the commit-
tee retire, which circumstance caused con-
siderable delay.

bull 8 years old and over, Dolphins Albert,
owned by O. T. Stephens of Honey Grove,
first premium, and D011 William, owned by

honors, and O. T. Stephens' herd, headed
by Dolphins Albert, second.
A. A. Carmichael, a Jersey expert from
Denver, and .V. J. Daly of Ferris were the
jersey committee, but It was frequently
necessary to call in another man in order to
get a decision. The verdicts of the gentle-
men, however, were uniformly rendered as
just by the exhibitors.

Ford House, superintendent of the cattlp
departments, is entitled to credit for tho
expeditious and businesslike manner iii
which he is conducting the show.

EXHIBITS.
seed sowu in fertile soil.
Dallas, Tex., October 15.—The Singer
exhibit continues tho center of attraction
and the space is crowded from morning
until night with ladies and their escorts
viewing the production of the machines.
Among the latest attraction is the Gypsy
girl, a piece of work in aresene and tinsel,
which many think is much handsomer than
that of Mrs. Grover Cleveland described in
the columns of The News Sunday morning.
The reporter is not competent to judge of
the merits of the two pieces of work, but
that they are the most magnificent speci-
men ever seen in Texas goes without saying.
In conversation with General Manager
Rundle it was ascertained that the Singer
machine was introduced into Texas in May,
1870, by two agents, one going to Galveston
and the other to Jefferson. Their stock was
twenty machines each, but the seed planted
by these two drummers took root in fertile
soil, and, like the Bermuda grass, spread
over the entire state, until to-day there is
scarcely a hamlet where the hum of the
Singer can not be heard. When the Singer
planted its colors in Texas soil there were
several other makes of machines in the
state, and even agencies had been estab-
lished, but realizing that competition with
a machine so much superior was useless, they
stood not upon the order of go-
ing. but went, leaving the Singer
master of the siluatiou. This position, not-
withstanding other machines have since
made bold to enter the field, has been main-
tained by t he Singer and it is safe to predict
will be until the end of time.
Just one month preceding the advent of
the machine into Texas, the first oflice in
the southwestern territory was Opened at
New Orleans, but previous to that time a
few Singers had been sold. This depart-
ment, which Embraced Texas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee und a
portion of Florida, was placed Jn charge of
Mr. S. E. Rundle and to his successful
CliilSrenCrjforPitolier'sCasloria
manasBnieut the salrs -in. the territory in
the first year were 2000 machines. With
each succeeding year there was a manifest
increase in tho company's business, until
now it is safe to wmime that tho yearly
sales of the Singer amounted to one-third
more than the combined sale of all other
machines.
The southwestern territory is probably
the largest under 0110 management, con-
trolling the six states enumerated and hav-
ing branch offices at the following points:
Dallas. Houston. Galveston. Waco und Soil
Antonio,Memphis. NashviHo. Birmingham,
Montgomery, Mobile, Vicksburg and Pen-
sacola.
Sir. Rundler must of necessity possess
great executive ability to successfully
handle such a vast field, but that he does
is attested HJ the implicit condden.'i which
is placed in him by the Singer company.
The Singer has ent.'red at this fair to stay,
and expects, if gooil work and true merit go
for anything, to come off victorious In the
estimation of visitors.
NATIONAL POLITICS.
tuchmak and paoty.
Shelbyvii.i.K, ind., October IS.—Ten cars,
carrying Judge Thurmau and party, left
Cincinnati 011 the Big Four at 8.30 this
morning for the democratic barbecue at
Shelbyville. The extra cars on tho train
were occupied by 200 members of the Duck-
worth club, 1D0 of the Thurmau club, Cin-
cinnati, and 50 more from tho Thurman
club, Columbus, all uniformed, besides a
largo number who did not go in delega-
tions. Judge Thurman was taken to the
depot by a Cincinnati escort committee and
the crowd there gave him a hearty sendoff
as he walked to his ear. The first ear of the
train was literally covered with banners
and bandanas, while enthusiastic demo-
crats were one and all provided with ban-
danas and lungs. As the traiu pulled
slowly through tho yards the railroad men
cheered heartily, while many an engino
whistle kept time with the lively tootimr;
an Ohio and Mississippi engine taking the
premium by attempting a tune. Outside of
the city the people stood beside the track
and waved aud cheered as the train sped by.
blaine at new albany, ind.
New Albany, Ind., October 15.—The
morning trains brought many visitors to
the city to attend the Blaine meeting this
afternoon. The weather is inclement and
disagreeable. Driw.iing rain began 1'iUling
at daybreak. Mr. Blaine and lifs son are
guests of ex-Con*rtssui»nCulbertson. Gen-
eral Hovey and Corporal Tannc.r arrived
last night 'from Evausville.
New Albany, Ind,, ^October 15.—Inclem-
ent weather interfered' somewhat with the
demonstration iti this city to-day over the
arrival of James G. Blaine, but the thou-
sands of visitors from Louisville, Jefferson-
ville, Madison and other neighboring
points tramped about the muddy streets.
About 9 o'clock Mr. Blaine and Judge Hovey
held a public reception nt the Windsor
hotel, around which several thousand peo-
ple clamored. After shaking hands for au
hour, Mr. Blaine thanked the assemblage
for the cordial welcome extended to General
Hovey and himself. The parade in the
afternoon was tho largest and most impos-
ing demonstration in the history of the city.
The mass meeting was held in the after-
noon, and it is estimated that from 10,000 to
12,000 people were present. Mr. Blaine was
given an ovation. He made 0110 of his
characteristic speeches.
Devilment Around Alpine.
Alpine, Tex., October 15.—Last Sunday
while Mr. Power and wife were out of town
visiting their ranch their three daughters,
who were left atjionio, went calling in the
evening and found two strange men in the
house when they returned home, who, after
some scuffling and several screams from the
girls, ran away. The eldest girl, about 10,
was so frightened that she had one convul-
sion after another, and now the moving of
a chair or the dropping of a thimble throws
her into severe convulsions.
This devilment seems to be a nightly oc-
currence. Monday night there was an at-
tempt made to burglarize Captain Gilles-
pie's hous«f Tuedllay night Frank Mo
Murray's, Wednesday night they raided the
barber's house and l obbed his money drawer
of about $28.
People are on the watch, and no doubt
tho guilty parties will be hunted down.
A Foul Assassination.
Richmond, Tex., October 15.—Another
foul assassination occurred in this county
last Saturday night iu the vicinity of Pitts-
ville. Reports came in this morning to
Sheriff Garvey that the colored people of
that neighborhood had a festival at Liberty
Hope church, anil while the parties were en-
joying themselves were shot into from the
bushes, and Lamar Johnson was killed
aud Taylor Randon shot in the
hand. Lamar Johnson, it is reported,
was universally liked by everyone and was
a man who took no part in politics, being
half African and not a very intelligent man
of his race, Taylor Randon was his half-
brother and of more influence and a poli-
tician. O11 receiving the information Sheriff
Garvey aud Deputy Smith left immediately
for the scene whore the foul act and murder
was perpetrated.

Deep Water General Committee.
Dallas, Tex., October 15.—Professor J.
Stanton of Cheyenne, Wyo., and C. C. Davis
of Leadville, members of the general com.
mittee 011 deep water, arrived to-night to
attend the meeting of the general aud ex-
ecutive committees here on the 17th instant,
which, owing to tho groat interest taken in
the subject by the interested states and ter-
ritories, they expect will lie quite full.
Mr. Davis says that Governor Evans,
chairman of both committees, accompanied
by several magnates and probably the gov-
ernor of Colorado, will arrive to-morrow
night. The meeting will be held in the
merchants' exchange, and is likely to last at
least two days. _
Deep Water Delegates En Boute.
Dallas, Tex., October 15.—Mayor Connor
at a late hotlr to-night received a telegram
dated Trinidad, Col., stating that Governor
Evan, Governor Adams and seventeen other
committeemen from Colorado, Nebraska
and other states passed through town this
evening en route to Dallas.
Mayor Connor to-night perfected arrange-
ments for their entertainment. He expects
a large delegation, from Galveston, as the
committee means business.
The Negroes Worked Up.
SHP.evepout, La., October 15.—The elec-
tion for the removal of the court-house in
Bossier parish, which will occur on Wednes-
day night, is exciting a good deal of interest.
The opposing parties have got the oolored
people worked up. They are holding day
and nightly meetings. From the present
outlook the fight willbo between Haughton,
on the Vicksburg, Marshall and Slireyeport
railway, and Bossier City, opposite Shreve-
port.

audience at the court-house this afternoon

vitation Dr. L. Lloyd addressed tho Demo-

crowd assembled in the hall to hear him,

concerned.

DALLAS COURT' NOTES.
City of Dallas Against ail Abseoailinjf Col-
lector-Tiie Abner Taylor Case.
Dallas, Tex., Oetobar 18.—To-day in the
I district conrt the suit of the city of Dallas
vs. A. M. Wliee'ess, the absconding collecto
01' water rents, and liis bondsmen for 55122.
went over iur tho present on a (leuiuiier. It
appears that Wheeless qualifiod in'January,
J$35, but did not give bond until February
of the same year. The city failed to
show whether the money was taken after
tho bond was given or between the time of
the officer's qualifying and making his
bond, for which reason the defense de-
murred and the court sustained the de-
murrer, but gave the city attorney leave to
amend. The evidence was significant in
showing the loose manner in which the
water rent records '\yere kept previous to
Mr. WJu-elvss' departure to foreign pjirts,
and the lack of committee supervision in
those dtiys.
The court also rendered judgment iu the
celebrated case of Abner Taylor, represent-
ing the capitol syndicate vs. the tax collec-
tor of Oldham county. It appears from the
books of the state and county tux eollcector
of Oldham county that the capitol syndicate
owed I1XKJU taxes on their landin that county
for 1S80 and 1S87, C'olouel Taylor paid
the taxes under protest, and on August 25
last brought suit to recover in tho district
court of Dallas county, venue having been
given by agreement. The lands prior to
January, were placed jw the possession
of the syndicate consisting of Aimer Taylor
ii Co., as a condition of the change of the
material in the capitol .from- soft lime-
stone to granite. The land under the
contract with the stato not having
theu been earned Colonel Taylor claimed
iu this suit that ho was not
liable to pay taxes ou it. The issue was as
to whether he held the land under a con-
tract of purchase.or a lease. Thecourt held
that he was liable, under article 469 Revised
Ltfvtutes.as holding under acontract of pur-
chase, aud it was agreed at the time of the
change of material that the syndi-
cate should have possession of
the land, but that in the event of so much
a year rent as tenants for the time they held
the land. This promise, the court held, w is
simply a condition only operative in the
event of tho forfeiture of the contract. An
appeal was taken.
A SERIOUS CLASH
Occurs at Cliicaeo Between Strikers ami
New 3Ien.
Chicago, 111., October 15.—Notwithstand-
ing the settlement of the street-car strike a
rather serious conflict; occurred this morn-
ing about 3 o'clock from the Garfield avenue
barns between a 1110b of strikers and new
men who were running out cars. The first
car was run out and proceeded 6ti its way
without event. The next six cars were then
run out and had proceeded to Center street
when a mob rushed from an alley near by
and made a savage assault upon the. new
drivers and conductors. Stones and missiles
were hurled through the air and several of
the mob 'pounded the new men and en-
.deavored to drag them off the cars. .A hand
to hand struggle then ensued. Captain
Sehaiick was notified of the trouble and he
with twenty-live men immediately started
for the scene. The mob which had aeidently
scented them ran away when the police ap-
peared. Several of the conductors and
drivers were hurt pretty severely.
After the assault on tho new men this
morning President Yerkes issued a note to
the old employes in which he said that un-
der the agreement one of Hie north side
barns and part ot another were to be put
aside for new men; that, none of the old men
had been discharged, but that as there are
not places enough for all the men, both old
and new, the returned strikers would have
to share tho places left for the returned
strikers among themselves as best suited
them. He added that there was evidently a
movement on foot to drive the new men
away, and he warned the ex-strikers that
such a course would not be of any ad-
vantage to them, as for every new man
driven away ho would hire another in his
place.
