ISAAC LEWIS, DICTATOR OF PRICES, WACO. I Especially request an Irspection of My Carpet Department,for Richness in Variety— Unequalled in the State. RAIL AND TIE. Superintendent Donald Allen is Promoted— Heavy Passenger Exchange— General Notes. Commencing December 1st, the sleeping car service of the Cotton Belt will be restored between Waco and Cairo. As the Missouri Pacific Railway company has apparently abandoned its work on the Hillsboro extension, might not the citizens’ committee of fifteen induce that corporation to build direct from Dallas to Waco? Receipts of the Waco ticket office o the Houston and Texas Central railway, for the month of November were three times greater than the receipts of any previous corresponding month in the history of that railway. Tickets at one fare for the round trip will be on sale at the Waco Cotton Belt ticket office for the second annual holiday excursion to the southeast,beginning on the 21 st and ending on the 23rd instant inclustve, good for 30 days. It is said that the railway companies give acentamile rate from all eastern points to California. Such an inducement in behalf of Texas would populate this state in a hurry. Warm rains and inviting prospects in every particular can truthfully be reported of Texas. The St. Louis Arkansas and Texas railway exchanged 1,600 passengers during October with the Memphis and Little Rock railway, against 100 during the previous month, showing a gain in this respect of 1,500 exchanged passengers and showing farther that the Cotton Belt is increasing in the ratio indicated in popularity. In the change which has occurred in the local affairs of the Houston and Texas Central railway, Mr. Donald Allen retiring and Mr. J. M. Lee entering, Mr. Allen has greatly bettered himself personally and his resignation tendered the Houston and Texas Central receivership some weeks ago suggested to the receivers the idea of placing the Waco department under a train master. Mr. Allen has accepted the place of superintendent of a division of the Louisvide and Nashville railway, with a sal ary over $6co a year greater than that he has enjoyed with the Houston and Texas Central, although that was a lucrative place. Mr. Allen’s new post is in a sense the key stone of the southern arch of railways. His headquarters will be ot Brimingham, Ala. The following letter explains itself: “In connection with the regular ‘ local onefare for the round trip Christmas gift,’ with which the St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas railway presents its patrons, to enable all those living along its line to visit their friends and make merry, it will this year run a grand excursion with unprecedented facilities in the way of accommodations to all points in the states of Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, and parts of Kentucky and North Carolina, during Christmas week, at one fare for the round trip. Those who contemplate going should bear in mind that the Cotton Belt route is the only line running through trains consisting of Pullman sleeping cars and elegant coaches from Dallas and all points on its line, to Memphis 1 without change, and clean and comfortable day coaches from all pojnts to Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga^Atlanta, and all intermediate stations, without change of cars. Tickets will be sold December 21,22 and 23, and will be good to return until thirty days after date of sale. For tickets, rates or any information you may desire, write or call on any agent of the company, or to W. H. Winfield, Gen. Agt. Pass. Dept., E. W. LaBeaume, Texarkana, Tex. Asst. Gen. Pas. Agt., St. Louis, Mo. AT GARLAND’S. Called Back Poorly Received—Worthy Play and Worthy Players. If Called Back does not play in better luck than.it did last night called in will be a more appropriate title before the season is over. Both company and play are deserving. The play is particularly fine, and the company is a strong one, fully capable of handling it efficiently. As an emotional actress, Miss Davies has few superiors, and Mr. Grismer in the lead, has a wealth of talent, such as few actors possess. Circumstances last night militated strongly against the company. A heavy rain, a budding fire and a novel wedding made up too strong a combination for theatregoers to resist. And next comes Margaret Mather, queen among tragediennes, peerless in beauty. Her advent should be marked by as warm a greeting as was Keene’s, or as Booth’s will be. In her are concentrated the fires of inspiration, such as have made Charlotte Cushman and Scott Siddons world famous. The Juliet of Miss Mather has never been equaled, and she stands to day the acknowledged head of American actresses in her business. Dr. Saunders, dentist, Fifth and Austin THE FRENCH CRISIS. PRESIDENT GREVY SENDS IN HIS RESIGNATION. Parliament Summoned to Elect His Successor—Lord Mayor Sullivan SentencedA Domestic Tragedy. Two Caucuses. The French Crisis. Paris, December 2.—Everything is quiet throughout the city thus far. The police declare that they arrested M. Paul Deraulde and Louise Michel yesterday to save them from the violence of the crowd. The papers are generally of the opinion that after the events of yesterday President Grevy cannot postpone his resignation. They approve the attitude of the chambers as calm and dignified. Le Soliel declares that President Grevy’s action in deferring his resignation was especially aimed at M. Ferry. 1:40 p. m.—President Grevy’s resignation has been sent to the president of the senate and the chamber of deputies. It will be read at the opening of the sitting of the chamber. Crowds are collected in front of the chamber of deputies. The police have cleared the approaches to the building and have stopped traffic in the vicinity. 2:56 P. M.—President Grevy’s message resigning the presidency of the republie has just been read in the chamber of deputies. In it Mr. Grevy says he regards the votes taken in the senate and chamber of deputies yesterday asadecisive demonstration, necessitating his resignation. After recalling his services to the country, which assured tranquility at home and peace abroad, he dedares that he leaves the office with a feeling of sadness, while declining to be responsible for future events. The deputies received the message 'with profound silence. M. Floquet read a letter from the president of the senate summoning a congress ot the two chambers at Versailles tomorrow for the purpose of electing a new president. The sitting then closed amid cries of “vive la republique!” A Domestic Tragedy. Columbia. S. C , December 2.—Free Edwards, a farmer of Darlington county, knocked his wife down and beat and chocked her unmercifully. While doing so, his son John, aged about 18 years, interfered. Edwards threw an axe at his son, barely missing hm and proceeded with the brutal punishment of his wife. The son ran into the house and grabbed a gun loaded with slugs and scraps of iron, and commanded his father to desist from choking his mother. A daughter was at the time also interfering in behalf of her mother. Edwards paid no heed to the threat and his son fired. The father, mother and daughter fell; the mother died in half an hour afterward. There is little hope of the daughter’s recovery. The father was only slightly wounded. iThe Striking Coal Miners. Carbondale, Penn., December 2.— The latest news of the Lehigh strike received here is that 2000 Belgian miners have been employed n the old country to come to this country for the purpose of working the mines of Eckley B. Cox. If the Belgians come there will be bloodshed in the Lehigh region, lor the men there feel that they might as well die fighting as to starve to death on the wayside in midwinter, for if they are driven out of the Lehigh fields they will be discriminated against and blacklisted by every boss in the Anthracite Valley of Pennsylvania and they will not be able to find work anywhere. Fire and Loss of Life. Brookville, Kas., December 2.—The Lawrence Hotel, six business houses and three dwellings burned here at 1 o’clock this morning. Four men, Eireman Briemen ofWamego, brakeman Harrigan ofWamego, Mr. Farnsworth of Lincoin and an unknown man, burned to death. Charles Moss ofTower Springs, Kas., was badly burned and will die. The guests of the hotel were obliged to jump from the second story windows. Total loss $22,oco; insurance $5,000. Cause unknown. New goods arriving by the car load. 50 varieties of canned fruits and vegetables. Preserves, jellies and jams in glass, wood and tin. Atmore’s Mince Meat in 5 and 18 lb. pails. New mackerel in 5 lb. tins. Fresh Imported Olive Oil and Olives. The largest stock of fine groceries ever offered in the state. Purchasing by the car load from first hands for cash and on short time enables us to offer superior inducements to parties wishing to purchase in quantity. Marshall & Heard.
