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

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.

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.
