FROM THE SLEEP OF LIFE TO THE SLEEP OF DEATH. :o: Thus the Great Brooklyn Preacher Passed Away—The Sorrow of Plymouth Church—Other Notes and News of the Day. Plymouth Church and its Pastor. Associated Press. Brooklyn, March 8.—A meeting of the parishoners of Plymouth church was held in the lecture room last night. The room was crowded with male and female members of the congregation and not a few friends from other churches, and there was scarcely a dry eye to be seen from beginning to end of the proceedings. Rev. Dr. Halliday opened the meeting with a moving prayer, in which he desired that their beloved pastor might not ever be allowed to seem to suffer, but that he might speedily attain into the rest prepared for him. After the singing of a hymn, Mr. Jacobson offered a prayer and the chairman then read a portion of scripture commencing: “Finally, beloved, be strong in the Lord and in thepower of His might, which is able to keep you from falling,” etc. It seemed almost as if these words were a message to him who was leaving them, because it seemed as though he was born a warrior. In all past years he had had to fight and to struggle, and there had always been something for him to battle with. And he had fought the fight; there had never been any flinching, never any turning back.. He had been equipped of God to do real and noble work, and now the time had come when he had to lay down his shield and helmet and sword, and there was to be no more battle. He was just floating on the tide that would bear him to h s home. Tney had none of them any doubt as to where he was being borne. It was said that all men were equal before God, but he thought that for such a royal heart there would surely be a royal welcome. It was all well with him. They would not call him back, for he was on his journey home. Other heartfelt remarks were made, and the following from Mrs. Beecher was read: “To the beloved members of Plymouth Church—I cannot speak my thanks to each one of you for the sympathy and love and devotion manifested in these last dark sad days for your pastor. He can no longer speak to you for himself. Then permit me to do it for him, for myself, for my family. Each word of love from the people so dear to your pastor’s heart has been comfort and balm to a heart wrung almost to bursting. How he loved his church you will only learn in its fullness when you stand with him in heaven. To.eaclqand every one of you, my earnest thanks and most earnest blessing. Pray for his wile and children soon to lose their truest companion and tenderest father, and if we must relinquish all possible hope of his full recovery, oh, beloved, pray that his departure may be speedy, that we may not long be agonized by this struggle between life and death. Pray, if he must leave us, that before another day dawns he may receive his crown and be forever with his Lord ” Death of Mr, Beecher. Associated Press. New York, March 8.—Henry Ward Beecher began to sink slowly after midnight and the watchers at his bedside soon saw that the end was near. Mr. Beecher passed quietly away at 9:30 o’clock this morning. He never regained consciousness after the paralysis of his mind. It is, of course, too early yet to announce anything definite about the funeral, but the interment will probably be in Greenwood. Mr. Beecher never bought a plot there, but his children and some of his grand children lie on Vergin Hill in the lot of Mrs. John T. Howard. Mr. Beecher’s twin babies died on the same day, when the afterwards famous preacher was young and poor and comparatively unknown. He was living at the time in Howard’s house and was given a space on Evergreen Hills. It is possible that Plymouth church or the citizens of Brooklyn at large will buy a plot and erect a handsome monument. Those present at Mr. Beecher's death were Col. H. B. Beecher and his wife, his daughters Hattie and Daisy and Henry Ward Beecher, Jr., Miss Edith Beecher, W. C. Beecher and wife, Rev. Samuel Scoville, Mrs. S. Scoville, daughter qf Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, Miss Scoville. who just came from the Pacific slope, and Miss Bullard, Rev. S. B. Hoiliday and wife, and Bella, the Scotch nurse who has been with the family many years and was a special favorite of the deceased preacher, a male nurse, Riordan Seacomb, one of the trustees of Plymouth church, and Major J. B. Pond. • ■» • Newfoundland Still Excited. Associated Press. Ottawa, Ont., March 8.—Further advices from Newfoundland state that the colony is ablaze with excitement over the British government’s action in disallowing the bait bill and that indignation meetings will be held everywhere to protest against it. The territorial government has become alarmed at the serious outlook, in view of the dissatisfaction that is rapidly spreading and the disloyal sentiment which prevails. It is understood that two British war ships will be immediately sent there to maintain peace in the event of an uprising, which seems almost inevitable. Annexation and secession are openly advocated, and desperate efforts will be made to secure these ends if the British government persists in disallowing the bait bill. Military circles in Halifax garrison, and all British tr ops in North America are somewhat excited over the reports that British regiments will be immediately dispatched to Newfoundland the minute there is any trouble. Another Austin Horror. Associated Press. Austin, Tex., March 8.—An examina tion of the room in the house in which Mrs. Thos. Blanton was killed yesterday shows, from wounds found upon her head, that she was murdered. There was evidence of a terrible struggle. It appears her assailant must have come in from the rear of the house and immediately assaulted her. She resisted through two rooms and procured a revolver, which was fired off in the struggle, and was wrested from her and from which the fatal shot was then fired. There ^appears to be no real clew, but there are many surmises and suspicions. Officers have been searching the country. If the guilty party be found Judge Lynch will open court. Glorifying the Rebels. Associated Press, London, March 8.—The Moscow Gazette glorifies the memory of the executed Bulgarian rebels and says: “They were massacred for protesting like men against the unhappy and ignominious state of their country, against its oppressors and betrayers. Their horrible death brings forth events and sets history in motion.” The Gazette expresses indignation at the powers which “secretly approved” the execution of rebels, and concludes: “We shall not forget that these men were victims of their devotion to Russia.” Cardinal Jacobini’s Successor. Associated Press. ROME, Matrch 8.—The pope has selected lvigr. Rampallo, nuncio at Madrid, to succeed the late cardinal Jacobini as pontifical secretary of state. Earthquake Shocks. Associated Press_ Paris, March 8.—More slight earthquake shocks have been felt at Mentone. LETTER FROM WEST. Fine Rains—No Ross County in Theirs —Prohibition. To the Editor of The Day. West, Texas, March 7.—The farmers will soon all be happy again, as we had a good rain Sunday morning, the first since the first week in February. The wheat and oats are looking all right at present, and the corn will soon all be planted, and cotton then comes in at its proper time. This rain will insure a good stand of corn. We are feeling a little better over the Ross county move since we have learned of its defeat. I see the Examiner claims to have said and done more in opposition to the new county than all other influences combined. Perhaps the Examiner has reference to what it said and did two years ago. Old documents are sometimes dangerous things. The prohibition question is coming up exactly right—upon its merits alone; no high license, low license, or license in it. The question is a simple one: Does the use of spirituous liquors do more good and bring about more happiness to the people generally in this world and the world to come than prohibition will? If so, we should vote for the making, selling and drinking of liquor, and the more the better for us. But, on the contrary, if we think it does not, we should vote for prohibition, and the less we have the better it will be for us poor mortals here below. C. O. R. A Little One Called Home Early. Gracie P., aged three weeks, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Dennis, died this morning, after an illness of only two days. The burial will take place at ten o’clock tomorrow morning from the family residence, corner of Eleventh and Columbus streets. In the loss of their little one the parents have the condolence of a large circle of friends.

Two Broken Heads and a Perhaps Fatal Wound. Fists, brickbats and a pistol were used in a fight, which occurred at the corner of Elm and Archer streets, East Waco, at 2 o’clock last night. From what The Day can gather from statements of different men engaged in the affray, it seems that some in the crowd had been drinking and were in for a frol'c, fight or anything else. Two of the participants are now lying in their beds, and perhaps are in dangerous conditions. Mr. Green Patterson is shot through the breast, the ball entering two inches above the left nipple and 'o lged below the left shoulder blade. Drs. J. C. J. and W. B. King intended to cut the ball out this morning, but concluded it would not" hurt to remain where it is. The doctors consider the wound danger ous, as the lung is already affected. [As soon as inflamation sets in the seriousness of the wound will develop. The hole is supposed to have been made by a 38calibre pistol. Mr. Darwin Eyerley is badly beaten, bruised and cut about the head, and the wounds may prove fatal. Mr. A. Starling, who resides up the river about five miles is also badly bruised and cut about the head and face. A Day reporter called at Mr. Green Patterson’s residence in East Waco this morning and elicited from him the following statement: “It was about two o’clock this morning, when Dorris Eyerley, Aaron Henderson and myself left Mr. Eyerley’s saloon and started home. Just then five men rode up and a conversation turned between us. Some of the men on horseback were drinking, and asked for Mr. Eyerly. They wanted us to go into the saloon and get them some whisky but they were told it was too late, and they all stirted off. Before leaving they commenced shaking hands with Dorris Eyerley. When Dorris and A. D. Starling shook hands Starling’s horse jumped and he fell off. Some sharp words ensued and the first thing I knew Eyerley and Starling were fighting. They had it nip and tuck for some time, rnd when one of Starling’s friends interfered I pulled him off. At this juncture some one fired at and the ball struck me wheie you see this hole in my breast. I had a rock weighing about four pounds in my hands and and when the fellow shot me I let drive the rock and it struck him fully in the face. He staggered and fell back. I do not know who shot me, but I am satisfied I would know the fellow if I was to see him again.” The reporter next saw Mr. A. D. Starling, and he makes almos^ the same statement as that of Mr. Patterson, except that when he and his companions rode up to the three men, “I asked if Bod Eyerley was in the crowd. Green Patterson s»id we should be careful about how we rode up on men at night or we might get shot; when Eyerley shook hands and pulled me almost off my horse I was in for a fight, and we went at it; somebody used a brick and struck us both several times. The man who did the shooting said his name was Jones, and lives near Geneva. I never saw him until last night, when 1 met with him and two other young men, who live in his settlement.” The grand jury is investigating the matter today^and Mr. A. D. Starling and Francis Cozart are held by the officers. Officer Joe Hardwick heard the shooting and was quickly on the scene and arrested the two named Starling and Cozart. Officer Dan Ford also went over there and locked the men in jail last night. REAL ESTATE. General Home Itema—Dallas, Fort Worth and Waco—Hillsboro’s^ Boom. Messrs. H. Behrens and Pat. Farrell have each purchased vacant lots, for residence purposes, in the last few days on North Fifth street. “Willig, Pat on & Marshall sold $4,0:0 worth ot suburban property Saturday, placed in their hands by Mr. E. Rotan, the owner. It is all west ot the city. Realty two miles from the western and northwestern limits of the city is selling at the rate of $2,030 per acre. J. H. Finks & Co. sold $1,000 worth at this rate Saturday and made a profit of $1,000 on land they bought two months ago. The Dallas News says the real estate transfers in that city for the week ending Saturday were $177,895.60. Fort Worth reports sales of $125,000 for the same period. In both Dallas and Fort Worth there were several large transactions of $25,000 and $37,5c 3, and it is claimed to be the biggest week ever known in either city. In Waco last week’s sales were $75,465,30, and for the preceding week $95,530.31. The truth is Waco is holding her own admirably with Dallas and Fort Worth, and the three towns are expeiiencing a degiee of activity in the real estate movement never before witnessed in Texas. A Hillsboro special of the 5th says: “Railroad excitement is higher here than ever and is affecting materially the price of real estate. Values have increased 40 per cent, in the last two weeks, and lots are changing hands at a rapid rate. The corps of surveyors on the Dallas extension of the Missouri Pacific, who are driving a peg every ico feet, reached here this evening at about 3 o’clock. The people are confident that they will get both the above mentioned extension and also a branch of the St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas.” The extraordinary inquiry for real estate now prevailing in this city and county is fraught with one and only one danger, which is that people who want to sell may completely lose their moderation and imagine the whole world is standing waiting, hat in hand, with pockets full of money, begging to be allowed to invest in Waco dirt. This is a fallacy, and people will do well not to lose their heads over the boom and put their property away up yonder, at fi titious prices. If they do it will certainly remain on their hands. Property is enhancing in value here, very rapidly, and it will continue to do so if sellers are reasonable. If a man really wants to sell it is good business policy to let his holdings go when a fairly remunerative price is offered and then invest again if lie wants to. There is such a thing as killing the goose that lays the golden egg ON WITH THE BOOM. The Street Railway Company’s Enterprising Program. The street railway company has been a potential factor in building up Waco. Wherever it has laid its rails population has followed, realty values enhanced and houses spring up like magic. It has been content to look to the future for remuneration for its outlay and for years has put all (and more) that it has earned into extensions and improvements. It has not wearied in this work and is now preparing to make an additional and immediate investment of at least $20,000. At a meeting of the directory held yesterday afternoon it was decided to purchase steel rails sufficient to lay three additional miles of track. The extensions will be on South Fourth, Speight, South Eighth, Franklin and Fifteenth streets. The work of tiacklaying will commence as soon as the steel arrives. Superintendent Sedberry was also authorized to commence at once the construction of a brick block at the corner of Fourth and Washington streets, with 200 feet front on Washington and eightytwo feet on Fourth street. The Fourth street front will be two stories high, with a very handsome exterior, and torty feet deep. It will be rented for stores, offices, etc., and one of the rooms will be used as the general offices of the company. On the Washington street front, side tracks will lead from the main lir.e into roomy car sheds, stables, etc. This department will be so managed, however, that none of its workings, will be visible from the street, and with the thorough sewerage system that will be provided there will be nothing offensive cr objectionable about it. As a matter of fact the whole building will be so constructed and attended to that it will be more of an ornamental feature than otherwise. This enterprise will be appreciated by the community and is only another evidence that Waco has fallen into line and is keeping step with the music of progress and prosperity." EPISCOPAL CHURCH MATTERS. Mr. Starr’s Resignation of the Rectorship— Another Resignation. Readers of The Day have been apprised of the fact that a few weeks ago Rev. Fiancis R. Starr, rector of St. Paul’s church (Episcopal) in this city, gave the parish a genuine surprise by tendering his resignation to the vestry, to take effect on Easter Monday, proximo. This action. it would appear, was not unanticipated by the vestiy, but to most of the. parishioners it was a decided surprise. A few days ago a epiiet movement was set on foot looking to the retention of Mr. Starr’s services. This took the shape of a petition directed to the vestry, praying that body to take steps, as early as practicable, to induce Mr. Starr to reconsider and recall his resignation, .which, by the way, had been promptly accepted by the vestry. The petition received quite a number of signatures, ladies and gentlemen, but what proportion the number of signers bears to the number of pewholders or parishioners The Day is no: prepared, of actual knowledge, to say. It has been stated, however, and we dare say correctly, that the signers do not constitute a majority of those entitled to sign such a document and who might be expected to express an opinion, one way or the other, in a matter of such importance. The vestry held a meeting last night and listened to the reading of the petition. It was decided to refer the document to the new vestry, which will be elected on Easter Monday, and thus that matter is settled for the present. The parish elects the vestry, and presumably the subject matter of the petition will be an issue in such election. At the meeting last night Mr. Geo. W. Jackson, who is one of the vestrymen, tendered his resignation as a member of the body, but the vestry declined, unanirnously, to accept it. The Day also learns that on Sunday last Mr. Jackson tendered his resignation as superintendent of St. Paul’s Sunday school, a position he has held many years. The teachers and pupils unanimously dedined to receive this resignation. Listen.
