THE “NEWS REMAINS IN POSSESSION OF THE MORNING FIELD AT DALLAS. reparations for the llendricks Obsequies—The President Will Not AttendYellon Fever at Galmton—Other Happenings Sunday. IN GENERAL. Washington, November 29.—President Cleveland this afternoon determined not to make the trip to Indianapolis to attend Vice President Hendricks’ funeral. To a newspaper reporter, the president said: “I am reminded by some of the best and most patriotic and thoughtful of our citizens that the real and solemn duties of my office are at the national capitol, and that in the present pecuiiar and delicate situation, I ought not to take even the remotest chance of an accident, incident to travel, to gratify a sentiment so general and so characteristic as that involved in this subject. I have been profoundly impressed by tnese considerations, but most of all influenced by their strong and unanimous presentation by the several friends of the late vice president, living in his state and city, their endorsement by the noble and patriotic woman, who, in the infinite sorrow of her widowhood, reflects the spirit and character of her honored husband, in her solicitude for the public good.” Indianapolis, Nov. 29.—The first step toward the obsequies of VicePresident Htndricks occurred today. At 10 o’clock, the hour announced for the removal of the body to the court house, a large crowd of people had assembled in front. The casket was placed in the hearse, and, with slow and measured tread and melancholy strains of music, the procession moved at 11:15 o’clock. The streets along the route were filled with people, while from doors and windows faces innumerable were seen. The catafalque was in the center of the main corridor of the court, at the point where three entrances converge. It was built upon a platform raised a foot above the floor. The canopy was very elaborate and the floral designs were very handsome. The casket was guarded by soldiers. From It 145 a. m. to 5 in the afternoon not less than twenty thousand people passed through before 6 o’clock. The crowd is very large tonight. The remains will remain at the court house until 5 o’clock tomorrow evening, when they will be returned to the residence, from which the funeral occurs at 12 o’clock noon Tuesday. A floral design representing the log cabin in which Mr. Hendricks was born has been purchased by the citizens of Shelbyville, his old home, and will arrive tomorrow. THE STATE. Dallas November 29.—The trade between the Herald and News has been consummated. The publication of the Herald will be discontinued, tomorrow’s issue of that paper being its last. The News takes the Herald’s subscription lists and other business. The news of the sale was quietly received by the public, as it was not unanticipated. Some feelings of regret are expressed that the Herald had to succumb, but the general sentiment is rather of indifference. Galveston, November 29.—The steamship Harlan, from Vera Cruz, which touched here last Thursday, en route to Brashear City, landed among other passengers two young men, Hiram Morrow and Charles E. Padget, residents of El Paso, Tex. On their arrival they proceeded to one of the prominent hotels, occupying the same room. Both complained of feeling unwell, but laid their sickness to the rough sea voyage. It aeveloped yesterday that both were suffering from a mild attack of yellow fever, contracted, douhtless in Vera Cruz. They were removed at an early hour this morning to a locality some distance from the city. Cotton in Waco ToDay. Receipts light, only 114 bales by wagon. Prices practically unchanged from Saturday, 8:25108:65. Total receipts to date 46,284 bales. •——— Nearly a Case ot JailBreaking. Harry Wayne, charged with stealing a horse, and Jim Burkett, an alleged swindler, came very near escaping from the county jail last night. They were in what is the strongest of the two cages. At one end of the corridor, in front of this cage, stood a large tub and a bench. When guard Sam Whaley ordered the inmates of the cage into the cells last night, Wayne and Burkett crouched down behind this tub and bench and were not locked in, as they escaped the guard’s notice. Later in the evening Mr. Whaley had occasion to reenter the corridor, and Wayne sprang past him in an instant. Burkett tried to do so, but Whaley overpowered and locked him up. The jailor, Tom Stephens, was in a lower room and heard the racket. He reached the stairway that leads from the prison, Winchester rifle in hand, just in time to stop Wayne. The episode will be worth a hundred dollars, in the way of experience, to Sam Whaley. THE COURTS. Happenings in the Various Tribunals ToDay. In the police court A. J Bird, Pat Nolen, T. S. .Turner, S. Watson, Joe Young and N. S. Oslind, drunk, were fined from $2 to $3 each; John Dowd,off nsive language, $2.50; J. W. Stewart, leaving team unhitched, $i; H. McHugh, blocking sidewalk, $1; Sam Smith, offensive conduct, $1; J. M. Zelner, carrying a pistol, $30. In the district court Judge.Rimes took up the motion docket this morning, entering several orders. The case of Ned Hayes, charged with assault with intent to murder, was then taken up and is now on trial. This is Justice R. W. Davis’ regular civil term day. Four minor cases were disposed of, several cases set for trial and judgment by default taken in a number of cases. Criminal Notes and News. The trial of Geo. W. Smith is docketed in he district court for tomorrow. Emotionat insanity will probably be the defence. There are many who believe George Walker will do his best for Tom Varnell, by deposing that he (Walker) fired the shot that killed old man Jonas Land. This is only supposition, though. Two men giving the names of Pardee and Davis were arrested late Saturday evening, charged with running a lottery or gambling game. They each paid a fine and costs and were thereupon discharged from custody. James A. Hamilton, sentenced to five years at the Chester, 111., penitentiary, and John Drake, charged with the Brownwood Cisco stage robbery, were taken to Dallas yesterday. Drake will be tried in the U. S. court at Graham. The two were handcuffed together and Hamilton was the personification of dejection as he sat in the waiting room at the depot. Richly Remunerated lor Their Services. An order, issued by Judge Don A. Pardee, U. S. circuit court, was spread on the clerk’s books Saturday evening, fixing the following compensation, for the following persons and firms, on account of services rendered to the Texas and St. Louis railway, since it went under a receivership: W. R. Woodward, exreceiver, at the rate of 36,000per annum; S. W. Fordyce, (this will probably be made larger) present receiver, $6,000 per annum; J. M. McCormick, master in chancery, $10,000per annum; Phillips & Stewart, of St. Louis, (legal counsel), $25,000, in full compensation; Butler, Stillman & Hubbard, of New York, (the trustee in the suit) $5,000. These sums are to be preferred claims out of the proceeds of the sale of the road, at Tyler, tomorrow. A Galyeston Critic on Adelaide Moore. Galveston News. “The principal role of Lady Teazle, the wife of Sir Peter Teazle, was of course essayed by Miss Moore, who gives a creation of the character essentially original, and which sparkled under her very talented conception of the difficult requirements. * * Miss Moore pays more attention to the dressing of her character than any actress who has visited Galveston for years past.

Judge McCormick closed the term of the U. S. district court Saturday night, signing the minutes yesterday afternoon. The closing proceedings were as follows; In the suit of Hudson vs. Ayers, from Falls county, trespass to try title, involving land worth $75,000, the jury rendered a verdict for defendant and judgement thereon. On motion anew trial was granted. A new trial was also granted the young man McCarty, charged with passing a counterfeit coin, purporting to be a $10 gold piece. McCarty was intoxicated at the time and it is not probable he will have greater punishment than a small fine. Four young fellows from Robertson county, charged with impeding the transmission of the U. S. mails, got a lecture and were fined $1 and costs each, footing up a total of $140 for the four. They were on a “high lonesome,” and while having a rumpus with a porter on the Central railroad train, delayed the train a few minutes at Bremond. James A. Hamilton, exassistant postmaster at McGregor, was sentenced to five years penal servitude at Chester,III.,and a fine of $2,542. Hamilton said he didn’t have a fair [trial, but the general opinion is that he got off rather light. The accounts of exU. S. marshal James A. McKee were approved. Clerk Finks paid out as jurors’ fees, during the term of court, the , sum of $1,246 90; witnesses’ fees, $1,490.30. The total expenses of the term will probably reach $4,500. Marshal Cabell and district attorney Pearre, who served their first term, won commendation on all hands, save, perhaps, in the case of the criminals with whom attorney Pearre had to deal. As for Judge McCormick, clerk Finks, his assistant, Hal Renick, and the, deputy marshals, they fully sustained the esteem in which they have always been held. The lawyers from New York, St. Louis, and other cities, were especially Jloud in their praise of Judge McCormick’s able and impartial rulings, and courteous, dignified demeanor. THAT GARNISHMENT. Messrs. Loving & Swanson Tell how Mr. Ker Treated Them. An item appeared in The Dav Saturday about Mr. E. Ker garnishing the cky of Waco for $145, ostensibly to collect a debt for that amount due him by Loving & Swanson. The latter gentlemen inform The Day that they had tendered payment to Mr. Ker before they had any intimation he proposed to proceed in the matter as he did. They were referred to his attorney, Mr. Eugene Williams, who could not take time to attend to the matter at once, and the next thing they knew they were served with the papers in the case. They went to Justice Davis’ office at once and paid the claim. They say Mr. Ker had never asked for payment but once— about two weeks ago—and as they were at the time in the midst of heavy contracts they asked him to wait^a couple of weeks, which he seemed willing to do. They were further warranted in thus asking, they say, because the firm of Ker & Chambers owed them about $100. The Dav does not suppose that the fact of the garnishment impairs Loving & Swanson’s credit or financial standing, as they are known to be prompt and solvent. The item was published chiefly because of the novelty of the suit—garnishing the city. This further mention of the matter is made voluntarily and unsolicited, as a simple act of justice to Loving & Swanson. Brought to Waco tor Burial. Undertaker Martin was at the depot yest. rday, when the 4:05 Missouri Pacific train from Temple came in, to receive the remains of Charles, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Elkins, of Temple, who died Saturday afternoon. The sorrowing parents were also on the train and were met by a number of sympathizing friends. From the depot the remains were taken at once to Oakwood,where the interment took place. Coke, aged 13 years, son of Dr. and Mrs. D. R. Wallace, died at Terrell, Texas, at I o’clock yesterday morning. The funeral took place at 3 p. m., today,from the residence of Mr. Wm. Breustedt, on Austin avenue, the interment being in Oakwood. At the Churches Yesterday. The sun shone bright yesterday, the air was crisp, the streets measurably dry, and people turned out in large numbers to the several churches. There were no special Services save at the Catholic church, where Father Badelon preached on “The Duty of Thankfulness,” and at Trinity M. E. church, at night, where Mr. Horner gave up his pulpit to Rev. J. Nelson, who preached to Scandinavians. At St. Paul’s church (Episopal) it was the first Sunday in Advent. Dr. Burleson and a large number of young ladies from Waco University, attended this church. The rector gave notice that the Price c; Cents. Bishop cf the diocese will be here, on his annual visitation, on the 20th proximo. . PERSONAL AND GENERAL. The rector of a fashionable church in Utah is spoken of as the “Apostle of the Genteels.” Mrs. Sarah Althea Hill had to abandon the stage for lack of support, as no actors would play for her. The scheme of a Washington man is to establish a school of politics. He would supply a lot of trained candidates forj public office. The skeleton of a man was recently found in the Dead River region of the Maine backwoods, fast in a bear trap, where he had starved to death. The Chinese minister at Washington is soon to give a ball, which, as it is the first of the kind, is looked forward to as a novelty. Piince Colonna, who married MissMackay some months ago, has not only spent all "the money he received then, but has managed to run heavily in debt. It is estimated that there are three hundred thousand Hebrew inhabitants in the United States and that fifty thousand are dwellers in New York city. Detectives are not popular in Nebraska. The one who killed Griffin, while the fitter was robbing the State Treasury, has just been sentencee to two years in the penitentiary. The crematory association in St. Louis is in trouble. They have been granted permission to erect a building, but the city ordinances are so worded that they will not be able to cremate human bodies unless the law is changed. A Connecticut man recently paid a dentist twentyfive cents for pulling a tooth twenty years ago. It takes a Connecticut man a long time to smother his vengeful feelings. Cocaine Declared to be a Poison. At a meeting of the New York Medico Legal society, various speakers declared that cocaine is a poison and should be so labeled and sold. Prof. Doremus knew a weman who was poisoned to death by cocaine used on an aching tooth. Dr. Holcomb said he had heard that a fatal case of cocaine had occurred in one of the city hospitals within two or three days. It would be of value to hear from Dr. Douglass on the result ot his experience of applying nearly every day for many months cocaine to Gen. Grant’s throat. A friend of his from Peru told him that in that country, where people have the cocaine habit and where they keep up on it for days without food, deaths were not uncommon. Good Bye, Love. Philadelphia Call. Bride—“There, I knew how it would be. We have not been married a month, and already you have ceased to care for me.” Young Husband—“Why, my dear, what are you thinking of? You are dearer to me than ever.” “It isn’t so; you know if isn’t. You tcok tea several times at our house before we were married, and you scarcely touched a thing. Ma said she knew you were truly in love, because you had no appetite.” “Of course, dear, but—” “And now you are actually complaining because I forgot to get anything for breakfast.” A Texas Medicine Man. New York Sun. A Texas doctor gives the Medical Bulletin an account of [he ease with which doctors are made in that state. He took a sixhour ride with a Texas villager, who asked him a great many questions about the remedies used for certain diseases prevailing in the locality. On the following week he had occasion to visit a neighboring village, where he found his recent companion with his shingle out as a fullfledged doctor. He had graduated in that sixmile ride. —• Come West, Young Man, Corsicana Observer. The Paducah t.Ky.) Standard tells of a mouse in that city that sings like a mocking bird.

Judge McCormick closed the term of the U. S. district court Saturday night, signing the minutes yesterday afternoon. The closing proceedings were as follows; In the suit of Hudson vs. Ayers, from Falls county, trespass to try title, involving land worth $75,000, the jury rendered a verdict for defendant and judgement thereon. On motion anew trial was granted. A new trial was also granted the young man McCarty, charged with passing a counterfeit coin, purporting to be a $10 gold piece. McCarty was intoxicated at the time and it is not probable he will have greater punishment than a small fine. Four young fellows from Robertson county, charged with impeding the transmission of the U. S. mails, got a lecture and were fined $1 and costs each, footing up a total of $140 for the four. They were on a “high lonesome,” and while having a rumpus with a porter on the Central railroad train, delayed the train a few minutes at Bremond. James A. Hamilton, exassistant postmaster at McGregor, was sentenced to five years penal servitude at Chester,III.,and a fine of $2,542. Hamilton said he didn’t have a fair [trial, but the general opinion is that he got off rather light. The accounts of exU. S. marshal James A. McKee were approved. Clerk Finks paid out as jurors’ fees, during the term of court, the , sum of $1,246 90; witnesses’ fees, $1,490.30. The total expenses of the term will probably reach $4,500. Marshal Cabell and district attorney Pearre, who served their first term, won commendation on all hands, save, perhaps, in the case of the criminals with whom attorney Pearre had to deal. As for Judge McCormick, clerk Finks, his assistant, Hal Renick, and the, deputy marshals, they fully sustained the esteem in which they have always been held. The lawyers from New York, St. Louis, and other cities, were especially Jloud in their praise of Judge McCormick’s able and impartial rulings, and courteous, dignified demeanor. THAT GARNISHMENT. Messrs. Loving & Swanson Tell how Mr. Ker Treated Them. An item appeared in The Dav Saturday about Mr. E. Ker garnishing the cky of Waco for $145, ostensibly to collect a debt for that amount due him by Loving & Swanson. The latter gentlemen inform The Day that they had tendered payment to Mr. Ker before they had any intimation he proposed to proceed in the matter as he did. They were referred to his attorney, Mr. Eugene Williams, who could not take time to attend to the matter at once, and the next thing they knew they were served with the papers in the case. They went to Justice Davis’ office at once and paid the claim. They say Mr. Ker had never asked for payment but once— about two weeks ago—and as they were at the time in the midst of heavy contracts they asked him to wait^a couple of weeks, which he seemed willing to do. They were further warranted in thus asking, they say, because the firm of Ker & Chambers owed them about $100. The Dav does not suppose that the fact of the garnishment impairs Loving & Swanson’s credit or financial standing, as they are known to be prompt and solvent. The item was published chiefly because of the novelty of the suit—garnishing the city. This further mention of the matter is made voluntarily and unsolicited, as a simple act of justice to Loving & Swanson. Brought to Waco tor Burial. Undertaker Martin was at the depot yest. rday, when the 4:05 Missouri Pacific train from Temple came in, to receive the remains of Charles, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Elkins, of Temple, who died Saturday afternoon. The sorrowing parents were also on the train and were met by a number of sympathizing friends. From the depot the remains were taken at once to Oakwood,where the interment took place. Coke, aged 13 years, son of Dr. and Mrs. D. R. Wallace, died at Terrell, Texas, at I o’clock yesterday morning. The funeral took place at 3 p. m., today,from the residence of Mr. Wm. Breustedt, on Austin avenue, the interment being in Oakwood. At the Churches Yesterday. The sun shone bright yesterday, the air was crisp, the streets measurably dry, and people turned out in large numbers to the several churches. There were no special Services save at the Catholic church, where Father Badelon preached on “The Duty of Thankfulness,” and at Trinity M. E. church, at night, where Mr. Horner gave up his pulpit to Rev. J. Nelson, who preached to Scandinavians. At St. Paul’s church (Episopal) it was the first Sunday in Advent. Dr. Burleson and a large number of young ladies from Waco University, attended this church. The rector gave notice that the Price c; Cents. Bishop cf the diocese will be here, on his annual visitation, on the 20th proximo. . PERSONAL AND GENERAL.

Cocaine Declared to be a Poison. At a meeting of the New York Medico Legal society, various speakers declared that cocaine is a poison and should be so labeled and sold. Prof. Doremus knew a weman who was poisoned to death by cocaine used on an aching tooth. Dr. Holcomb said he had heard that a fatal case of cocaine had occurred in one of the city hospitals within two or three days. It would be of value to hear from Dr. Douglass on the result ot his experience of applying nearly every day for many months cocaine to Gen. Grant’s throat. A friend of his from Peru told him that in that country, where people have the cocaine habit and where they keep up on it for days without food, deaths were not uncommon. Good Bye, Love.

He took a sixhour ride with a Texas villager, who asked him a great many questions about the remedies used for certain diseases prevailing in the locality. On the following week he had occasion to visit a neighboring village, where he found his recent companion with his shingle out as a fullfledged doctor. He had graduated in that sixmile ride. —• Come West, Young Man, Corsicana Observer. The Paducah t.Ky.) Standard tells of a mouse in that city that sings like a mocking bird.
