Houston, Tcx., March 15.—The projoct to
build an electric cur lino to conncet Houston
and Ilarriflburn, an attraotivo suburbun vil-
lage, has met with tho hearty indorsement of
representative citizens of both placed, who
think tho undertakin« will bo carried throutfh
by local enterpriso and capital, and will not
only provo a lucrativo venture, but one of tho
most denirable improvements that will have
been in ado about this city for some timo.
The county has KrftQted tho projectors tho
right of way ovor tin Harrisburg road with
two conditions—one, tho privilogo to the
county of hauling gravel ovor tho lino to bo
used in paving that as ono of tho county
roads; the other that it bo completed in twol vo
months. As the line is to come into this city
a petition for the right of way over certain
streots, viz.: l'rairio and BuUulo, is now in
tho hands of tho city council and will bo
finally acted upon at the next moeting on the
27th instant. It was prosented at tho meeting
last Monday and roforrod to tho street and
bridge committeo
Their roport will bo hoard one wock from
next Monday.
It is learned to-day from ono of tho stock-
holders that it is to bo pushed through by
local capital should tho denied privilogo bo
granted. Already they huvo had estimates
on the cost of construction uud material for
building and operation.
The lino will cover seven miles and as soon
as the city grants tho desired franchise
within hor limits, tho charter will be asked of
tho stato and tho work immediately thereaf-
ter begun.
it is estimated that tho construction can bo
done in sixty days. The franchise has boon
asked over Prairie avenue and Hull'alo street.
They oxpecfc to run four cars regularly over
tho line, giving ono every fifteen minutes.
Tho ride from horo to Harrisburg will bo
made in twenty minutes including all stops.
The country along tho lino of road is cov
ored with a heavy growth of pine and oak
trees furnishing interesting scenery.
Grand Purim llull.
The Purim ball givon to-night by tho Jew-
ish element of citizenship, at Turner hall, was
a grand succoss. Tho spacious hall was bril-
liantly illuminated and fittingly adornod. It
was after 9 o'clock that the inspiring strains
of Herb's Light guard band moved tho throng
of gallantry and grace in pursuit of ploasuro
in the voluptuous mazes of the dance. The
costumos wero as gorgeous and varied
as tho ingenuity of tho costumer could
suggest anil ombracod the varied phases of
lifo from the king to the kangaroo. Tho hall
was too much crowded to givo the dancers
that scope which is so essential to their own
porfoct enjoyment, and while it in some moas-
ure circumscribod their sphere of action, it
did not seem to keep ono from tho floor.
Many of the costumes wero costly as woll as
beautiful. Particulary was this true of tho
ladies, who wero tho most enthusiastic par-
ticipants. Tho various committees had douo
their parfc well and hence there was no want
but what ha*d been provided for.
Tho grand inarch for supper was played at
midnight and tho winding way of this impos-
ing feature was traced by not less than 200
oouples. Tho unmasking had occurred and
friends recognized each othor, while husbands
took their wivos and beaux their sweethearts
up stairs to enjoy tho sumptuous sproad.
From beginning to end tho affair was de-
lightful and at tho wee sma' hours of morn,
when the immortal notes of "Homo, Sweet
Homo" closed the last waltz, the revollors de-
parted with a sigh of regret.
The prizo for selling the largest number of
tickets, a diamond,jring was awarded to Miss
Dolia Billitz. For the best costume, Mrs.
Sol Cohen. Best gentlomau's costume, Iaa-
dore Schlo3smger, as a dude.
Mr*. E. E. Ktlllngor.
The death of Mrs. Kilhngor of tho Hutch-
ings house occurred this foronoon about 11
o'clock. A fow weoks ago sho was taken ill
and had a very severe attack, from which she
recovered, and was able to be up, but a re-
lapso occurred, and for two or three days sho
had boen regarded as at tho point of death.
Almost to tho last inomont sho was choerful
and confident of recovery, but the inevitable
came, and despite the efforts of tho best
medical skill and the care of a loving hus-
band, death took hor away at tho hour named.
Tho body will be shipped in tho morning to
Wichita, Kan., their former home. Tho hus-
band has tho sympathy of a number of friends
in this city.
No Clou.
Despite the fact'tliat officers of the shrievalty
and the police force havo boon diligently at
work to And out who murdered Tom Waco
and assaulted Theresa Richards, both colored,
two nights ago, no clou has been found, and
tho tnurderor is still at largo, with littlo urus-
pect of his capture.
It was in Boino respects a very remarkable
deed. It occurred in the basomont floor of a
house in which thero wore perhaps thirty peo-
ple sleeping, and no one knew anything of it
until noxt morning. Should the officers cap-
ture the right man it would bo very difficult to
furnish the necessary proof. The woman
knows nothing of it except that sho saw the
negro Dennis in the room when she went to
Bleep.
To Lecture on tho New South.
Rev. Albury A. Whitman, tho distinguished
colored divine, author and lecturer, arrived in

race, being the author of "Twminta's Somi-
noles" and other poems, a volume that has at-

THE LLAH0 COMPANY A00EFT3.
A. Terminal Hallway to Be Built to tho
Big Iron Mountain.
Llano, Tex., March 15.—Tho annual meet-
ing of tho stockholders of the Llano improve-
ment and furnace company,(held horo yester-
day, resulted in tho acceptance of Mr. Dyer's
first proposition, which provides for tho
building of a torminal railway from here to
the Iron mountain, which is to bo built for
tho sole purpose of hauling iron ore. Mr.
Dyer also undertakes tho development of tho
Iron mountain property.
His second proposition, which cmbrncos tho
building of a dam and canal, was conditional-
ly accepted. The condition being that tho
pressing debts of tho company be adjusted.
Mr. Longeopo of Lampasas, who is a largo
stockholder in the company, agrees to secure
$100,000 for tho use of tho company to be ad-
vanced upon $115,000 of the company's bonds,
and this will probably bo done within the noxt
thirty days. Then Dyer's soiond proposition
will be consummated.
It is believed by all parties conversant with
tho situation that this will secure the exten-
sion to this place of the Fort Worth and Rio
Grande railroad, as that road will want a sharo
of the iron which tho terminal road will
bring.

position in front of Brown .v, Boll's drugstore,
offered to make the two Ixwirs light for the
sum of 50 cents. Tho boys knowing from
past observation that such exhibitions woro
very tnmo, concludod to add a little spirit and
| /.est to each boar by a liberal application of
high life. While several prominent citizens in-
i torest' 1 the Syrians by a liberal display of
j com and simulated attempts to raise tho 50
1 cents, others woro busy applying tli"
carbon. The 60 cents v.ns not raised
but tho way those boars wont together was a
caution, surprising even to their keopors, who
irnmediatsly pulled thorn apart. One of the
boars then attacked its keeper, having quite a
scrap. The boar broke h .* muzzle and got
tho man's arm m his mouth, lie called lustily
upon his companion for aid, but the otner was
too busy with Ins own animal to render any
asiiistanco. The tirst man at last succeeded iu
frcoing himself from tho bear and ran around
a pole, with the bear a cIusm second. The fel-
low had tho chain on tho buar tied in his
clothes, and in the excitement he could not hit
upon tho necessary combination to roloare
himself from tho animal, lie at last, after
several revolutions, succeeded in untying from
tho hear, when ho took a half hitch around tho
post and stood oiT and jftbbi d tho boar with a
long pole. Tho other follow meanwhile had
been kept busy. Consternation was defected
upon the count' nances of the keepers, who no
doubt saw for tho first time the effects ol a
combination of high lifo aud hour.

ciers of the world's fair in speaking of the
transaction, but the coins aro going in "hoe"

Tho immense expenditures for tho fair havo
consumed ail the nvailablo funds, and as tho
bond market has boen a littlo off, tho last
$1,000,000 worth of fair bonds liavo not been
sold. Tho coin market is also stupidly slow,
but the debentures have been swift. Thero
wero about 2,500,000 souvenir coins on hand
piled up in kegs.
Ono of the financiers suggested that tho Ex-
position company borrow a million or so, as
the money was needed, and deposit tho coins
as security, Sovoral banks gladly accepted
souvenirs at 50 cents each as security for
loans. Several big bagsful woro deposited in
a safety vault to-day, subjoct to tho order of
ono of the banks that made the loan.
"Tho ooins aro not exactly pawned," said
President Higinbottom. "When times aro
easier wo will pay off tho loan and get our
coins again."

Navasota, Tex., March 15.—Tho report in
yestorday's Nuws that tho caso in tho federal
court entitled F. E. Hamilton vs. W. N. Nor-
wood et al. had been coininued by consent is
incorrect. Tho fact is that it was continued
upon tho affidavit of the plaintiff, F. E. Ham-
ilton, and is tho second continuance of tho
caso had by the plaintiff, the defendants so
far having never applied for a continuance.
A good rain would greatly help matters
here; nearly all tho crocks are low.

The Pall Caused Daath.
Dmsgkkfikld, Tex., March 15.—S. S.
Smith, who received a fall several days ago in
a warehouse), died last nizht from his injuries, a time,
has reeoived in medical circles, where it has
been widely discussed ai'd most heartily ap-
proved. A prominent physician has gone bo
far as to estimate that lully three-quarters of
all the deafness which has boen relieved in the
United States during the past two yoars has
been by tiie aid of this instrument, and ho con-
siders it an easy triumph ovor this most dis-
tressing atlliction.
While tho idea of such an instrument is not
Btrictly now, yet the restoration of such a largo
number of desperate and abandoned cases by
its uso lias proven it to bo of vastly more im-
portance than was at first supposed. A recent
interview with the inventor of the instrument,
Mr. H. S. Wales, who lives in Bridgeport,
Conn., discloses how tho idea of such an in-
genious instrument first occurred to him. It
was learned that it was first suggested from
the fact that most people who suffer from de-
fective hearing hoar better in a noise, or on a
moving train, which is caused by the increased
vibration of tho ear. From this Mr. Wales
Bald ho was confident that ho could iuvont a
device which could bo worn with comfort by
the patient, and which would focus the smaller
waves of sound on tho drum-head, thus in-
creasing its vibration and enabling the patient
to liear ordinary conversation and public
speaking. After many experiments tho final
outcome of this happy thought has boen tho
present device, which must bo an ideal one, as
it is worn in the ear out of sight for months at
cm III MICE.
