Below is given the week's mortuary statistics of Dallas for the week Dec. 26 to Jan. 2, as compiled by the local undertakers:
    The majority of the deaths noted are either from pulmonary disease, or had their origin in the variable weather conditions lately prevailing, which have been active agents in the spread of la grippe and pneumonia.
    The list follows:

     The details of the mysterious killing of Albert Reinhardt, Saturday night on College Hill, in North Dallas, a necessarily brief notice of which was given in Sunday's Times Herald, were obtained yesterday from the sheriff's office and the friends of the deceased.
     Reinhardt met his death some time between 10 and 11 o'clock and was found in a dying condition only a few steps from the house of John Buhrer, who lives just north of the Episcopal college. He had spent the evening at the Buhrer residence, having gone out there on the 8 o'clock car. Mr. Buhrer was not at home when he arrived and, Mrs. Buhrer, after inviting him in and sitting awhile, left to get her husband, who was visiting his sister, Mrs. Fred Mosher, who lives in the neighborhood. Mr. Buhrer returned, accompanied by Will Mosher and Ernest Slackman, and the four men sat down and played cards until 10:30 when Rheinhardt rose to go, saying he must catch the last 11 o'clock car back to his boarding-house in East Dallas, run by Tom McChristy and known as the Missouri House.
     Mosher and Slackman, who work for Buhrer, who is a dairyman, and sleeps in the barn on the premises, accompanied Rheinhardt to the gate, some twenty steps from the door and then entered the barn some seventy-five feet north of the gate.
     Some ten or fifteen minutes after the three men had gone, Mrs. Buhrer told her husband that she thought she heard someone calling her name directly south of her window. Mr. Buhrer, who was about ready to retire, got up and went out into the yard at her request and was horrified to find Rheinhardt lying near the fence, crying and moaning: "I'm hurt, badly hurt! Can't you get me to the house?"  In the darkness, Buhrer could not make out what was the matter and he ran to the barn and called Mosher and Slackman, who were just ready to go to bed. The three men secured a lantern and went over to Rheinhardt, who lay where he first found moaning and crying.  By the light, it was seen that he had been terribly used, his whole forehead and nose being crushed in seemingly from the effects of a terrible blow.
     Blood flowed freely from his face and dripped along the ground as he was carried to the house. He was apparently suffering great pain, so much so, as to be in a semi-conscious state and incapable of making any statement sufficiently clear to elucidate the mystery of the assault.  He fainted as he was being carried into the house, and although every effort was made to revive him, he died unconscious at 2:10 Sunday morning.
     The news of the killing reached Dallas about an hour later and within half an hour, Sheriff Cabell and his deputies were on the ground.
     The instrument that was used on Rheinhardt was a heavy oaken stick, which was picked up by the sheriff at the point where the unfortunate man was found.  Further investigation establishes the fact that the stick must have been taken from the Buhrer wood pile, which is west of the house, while Rheinhardt was clubbed south of the yard fence.
     Sheriff Cabell believes that the man was killed without a struggle and not from motives of robbery, as money was found on his body, along with a watch.  He was evidently struck by someone deliberately and given no opportunity to defend himself, the first heavy blow crushing all consciousness out of him in its descent.
     The Mosher and Slackman boys, who were in the barn, heard no cries although they were no further off than was Mrs. Buhrer.
     Rheinhardt was employed by the Hughes Bros. Manufacturing Company on South Ervay street, and was about 38 and 40 years old and unmarried.  He was a native of Switzerland, where he has a brother, and came to America about four years ago.  He had the reputation of being industrious and of good habits, and is now known to have had any enemies who would have reason to seek his life.
     Justice Skelton held an inquest over the remains of the murdered man yesterday, the verdict of the jury being that the deceased came to his death at the hands of a party or parties unknown.
     The funeral took place yesterday afternoon under the auspices of the Sons of Hermann, of which the deceased was a member. The interment was at Greenwood cemetery.
     Sheriff Cabell and Deputy Sanderson were met this morning riding in from the scene of the homicide, but stated that there were no further developments in the case and that no arrests had been made.

     The mystery shrouding the killing of Albert Reinhardt, in North Dallas Saturday night, still remains intact. There are no new developments in the case, and so far, the sheriff's department has made no arrests, although the officers are still working on the case for additional facts.

     Mr. J. W. Bowman, father of Mr. E. L. Bowman, died this morning at 7:10 o'clock. Funeral from residence on Oakley avenue at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning.
     Mr. J. W. Bowman, a well known resident of Dallas, died of quick consumption at his home on Oakland avenue, near the cemetery at 7:15 o'clock this morning, aged 53 years. He leaves a wife and five children, Edgar, Harry, Arthur, Mrs. Charlie Marder and Mrs. Adolph Marder. The funeral will be held Wednesday morning at 10:30 o'clock from the house.

     What is probably the final chapter in the double tragedy that culminated in the death of Albert Reinhardt and the suicide of his slayer, Albert Stegman, was a suit for divorce filed in the District court, Saturday by John Buhrer from his wife, Elizabeth, or Elise Buhrer. Mrs. Buhrer is the woman of whom young Stegman and Reinhardt were both enamored, a love fatal to both in the end. Her husband is a dairyman and they live on a farm just east of the Episcopal college.
     Buhrer sues for divorce on the ground of unfaithfulness. In his petition, he states that they were married in September, 1885, by Rev. H. De Gelfeld (sic), of Dallas, and have lived together up to the current month; that the defendant, during the last year, has utterly disregarded her marriage vows and kept company with other men and has been guilty of unfaithfulness to her marriage vows with the deceased, Albert Stegman, on a number of occasions specified in the petition.
     The most sensational part of the petition is as follows:
     "That on the 27th day of February, 1897, co-respondent, Alfred Stegman, in a frenzy of jealous rage, committed the crime of murdering one Albert Reinhardt on the premises of plaintiff, and that thereafter, when the officers of the law were hunting for the murderer, the defendant concealed him on the premises of plaintiff, and that being discovered, the said murderer killed himself by a shot fired into his head out of a pistol in his own hand.
     "That defendant having frequently declared that she could not live without her said paramour, the aforesaid Alfred Stegman, and in the event of his leaving her, would kill herself, she did immediately after the suicide of him, the said Alfred Stegman, swallow a deadly dose of sulphate of morphine, and that the prompt efforts of a physician only prevented her from accomplishing her suicidal attempt."
     The petitioner, for these varied reasons, accordingly prays that divorce be granted him.

     T. W. Hill died this morning at 4 o'clock at his home, 358 Williams street, of paralysis, from which he had been a sufferer for several years.  He was a dyer and had a shop on Main street.

R. lot, under the auspices of the local posts.

     Just after 12 o'clock last night, there was an exchange of shots between J. A. Wright and Charles H. Springer, the former using a shotgun and the latter, a revolver, at the home of Mr. Wright, 157 N. Akard street, where Springer is a boarder and lodger. The house is the two story frame next to the little brick on the southwest corner of Akard and Emma streets. Mr. Wright was in the back yard and Mr. Springer in the small ground room on the north end of the building in the rear of the small front room, which he occupied as a lodging. The room Springer shot from is unfurnished and used as a store room.
     Neither of the principals was wounded, but Jules Baker, a negro who was with Mr. Wright, was shot through the head and instantly killed, presumably from a bullet from Mr. Springer's pistol.

     Immediately after the shooting, Mr. Wright reloaded his gun and with the weapon in his hand, started down town to find an officer to surrender to. Failing to meet one, he stepped into Apperson's drug store and asked the night clerk to telephone for an officer, but before the clerk could do so, Mr. Wright left the store and walked to the jail, where, after entering, he complained that he never saw such a town; that he had walked all over it in search of a policeman, deputy sheriff or constable, but failed to find one. Mr. Wright stated that he knew there was a dead negro and he believed also a dead white man at 157 North Akard street.
     Deputy Sheriff William Work and Constable Powers, of precinct No. 4, proceeded to Wright's home.
     The body of the negro was found just inside the rear door of the vacant brick building. The bullet had taken effect at the root of his nose and come out at the back of his head.
     Mr. Springer was found in his room. The screen of the window of the vacant room in the rear of Springer's room had been cut with a knife. One charge of shot had passed into the room and lodge in a sewing machine, and another had lodged in the window frame.
     By this time, a number of police officers and citizens had assembled. Mr. Springer stated that he heard a noise in the rear room, and gathering his pistol, he entered it to see what had produced the noise. He noticed that the screen of the window looking to the north had been cut, and on looking out, saw a man level a shotgun at him. He ducked out of the way and fired two shots with his pistol just as the man with the shotgun opened up and fired four shots. Mr. Springer looked no more.
     Mr. Springer was arrested and conducted to the county jail.
The body of the negro was turned over to Undertaker Loudermilk, and was inquested by Justice Skelton.

     A Times Herald reporter called at the jail this forenoon to interview the men. Mr. Wright was in a cell on the third floor. He declined to make a statement in regard to the events of the night, but wanted to know if the negro was dead; and, in reply to the question, said the negro had been working for him for two years; that he was unmarried. When asked how the negro came to his death, Wright said his death was not the result of an accident, but he refused to throw any further light on his taking off.
     Mr. Springer, who was found in the office of the jail talking with a lawyer, said he did not wish to make any statement for publication.

     Mr. Wright, about 40 years old, has lived in Dallas twelve or thirteen years and is a house mover by occupation. He has a wife and two daughters.
     Mr. Springer, a single man, 30 or 32 years old, is a traveling salesman and has made Dallas headquarters for seven or eight years. Lately, he has been city salesman for Powell's cigar factory.

     The negro Baker came originally from Clarksville, where his parents and other relatives live. Undertaker Loudermilk has wired the father of deceased for directions to disposal of body.

     Mr. Walter Middlesworth, proprietor of the saloon at the corner of Akard street and Pacific avenue, and a roomer at Mrs. Wright's house, said to a Times Herald reporter:
     "I room at the house occupied by Mrs. Wright and, for some time, Mr. Springer and myself roomed together and have been warm, personal friends. From what I know and can learn of the trouble between Wright and Springer, it all arose over a buggy transaction. Springer and Wright, previous to a few days ago, have been the closest of friends--chums, you might call them. They were constantly together when unemployed, have gone on fishing and hunting expeditions and been constantly in each other's company and were seemingly very agreeable. Several weeks ago, Springer secured a position as city salesman for a cigar factory. Mrs. Wright owned a little bay mare, which was standing idle most of the time and Mr. Wright asked her to let Springer use it in canvassing the city, saying that it was standing up there getting fat and a little exercise would do it good, or words to that effect. Mrs. Wright consented and Springer bought a light single buggy--buckboards, I believe they are called--to which to drive the horse. He had used the mare for several days, or perhaps a week or so, when Mr. Wright called his wife's attention to the fact that the mare was getting thin and told her to make Springer quit using it. Mrs. Wright informed her husband that she would do nothing of the kind, telling her husband that if he wanted Mr. Springer to quit driving the mare, to go and tell him himself. Mr. Wright made some remonstrance, but did not tell Springer to quit using the mare. I am informed, however, that he made his daughter do it for him. Springer was therefore without a horse, and as he did not with to buy one, he run his buggy in a shed and made his rounds on foot. Mr. Wright wanted to buy the buggy and Springer set a price of $15 on it. Wright offered $14, but Springer would not take it. A few days ago, Friday or Saturday, I believe, Springer sold the buggy to another party for $15. This angered Wright considerably and he upbraided Springer for his action, and some little trouble began to brew. Saturday morning, Wright began drinking. Soon afterwards, he appeared on the streets with a shotgun, cursing and using boisterous language. He was arrested later on and remained in the holdover until late in the afternoon. After his release, he began drinking again and has kept it up since that time. Sunday afternoon, I am told, Springer was sitting in the dining room reading. Wright entered the room from Mrs. Wright's apartments holding in his hand a double-barreled shotgun, which he leveled on Springer, saying, ":Look out, Springer; I am going to kill you." Springer thought he was joking and told him to be careful. Wright cocked both hammers of the gun and started to level it again, saying, "Springer, I am sorry this has come up," at which Springer darted under the table. Witnesses interfered and the trouble ended.
     "For the last three days, Wright has been drinking heavily and has been hanging around here, part of the time having his shotgun with him. He has been heard to mutter such things as "I'll fix him;" "he acted the s--- of b----h with me, and I'll get him," but he was regarded as being nutty over drink and but little attention was paid to him. Last night, he came into my place several times and held conferences with Jules Baker, the negro, at the end of one of which, Baker told me that Wright wanted him to go to his (Wright's ) wife and patch up their differences, adding that he thought Wright was nutty.
     "I thought no more of the matter until I was informed of the shooting last night and learned of the subsequent developments. I have known Mrs. Wright for a number of years and know her to be a perfect little lady, who has been badly treated by a worthless husband."

     Mrs. Wright was seen at her home by a Times Herald reporter this morning. She is a very small woman, black hair, brown eyes, olive complexioned, about 40 years of age, and is very good looking. She was busily engaged in preparing dinner, and seemed but little agitated over the occurrences of the night.
     "Mrs. Wright, I would like to get your version of last night's tragedy," said the reporter.
     "I have no version. The first I knew of the occurrence was when I was awakened by the pistol shots, and after everything was over, some of the gentlemen told me I had better go up stairs and remain there. Later on, Mr. Middlesworth came and aroused us and then I learned more about the occurrence," she replied pleasantly.
     "Have you no idea what caused the trouble between your husband and Mr. Springer, which led to the shooting?"
     "I have not. I don't know what the trouble was."
     "Did you know of this buggy transaction, and do you believe that caused it?"
     "Yes, I knew of the buggy transaction and knew that Mr. Wright was awful angry at Mr. Springer for selling the buggy, but I regarded that as merely a children's quarrel and never thought of it seriously. In fact, Mr. Springer told my husband that if he was mad at him for that, that he (Springer) would go down and buy the buggy back and make him a present of it."
     "Did not Mr. Wright level a gun at Mr. Springer in your house Sunday and threaten to kill him?"

...know from what I have heard that Mr. Wright did draw a gun on Mr. Springer and threaten to kill him."
     "Do you believe that the trouble between Mr. Wright and Mr. Springer was caused by the buggy transaction and nothing else?"
     "So far as I know, this is the only difference between them, and as I said before, I didn't regard it seriously. I knew that my husband was very angry. He was also drinking heavily and I believed, that as soon as he got straight, everything would be all right."
     "You and your husband do not live together, do you?"
     "No. He treated me so mean, and so bad, that I just told him that I was getting too old to have so much trouble heaped upon me and that I had rather take my two daughters and make a living for myself, although it would be mighty hard work, rather than be subjected to his cruel treatment. So, he packed up his things Sunday night and moved out. The little mare that Mr. Springer used was my individual property and Mr. Wright came around her Monday morning and began cursing and beating it for spite. He then took it down to Stone's livery stable and put it in there with instructions to let nobody have it. I went down later and tried to get it out, but couldn't without legal papers, and I didn't have the money to get them."
     "Did your husband send the negro, Jules Baker around here last night to ask you to make up with him?"
    "He came himself and I met him out at the fence in the front yard. I told him that I hoped the time would never come when I would have to live with him and that I had to work too hard and had too much trouble to live with and be mistreated by him. He then went away and I have not seen him since. this was about 9 or 9:30 o'clock." Mrs. Wright could scarcely control her emotion as she made this statement, and past recollection seemed to force the tears into her eyes.
     "Mrs. Wright, the suspicion so far aroused by the developments in this case reflect on you, and I hope you understand the necessity of placing the facts before the public in the proper manner."
     "I know they do," and here the little woman, no longer able to control her feelings, burst into tears, "and I have heard that my husband has said unkind things about me, but God knows I have stood enough mistreatment and have been caused enough trouble without having any reflections, of which I am innocent, cast upon me. I know nothing about the trouble except what I have told you."
     The reporter was then shown through the house. Adjoining the large dining room, in which Sunday's trouble originated, on the north side, is the room occupied by Mrs. Wright and daughter, Maud, and west of this room, is the kitchen. On the north side of Mrs. Wright's room with a door opening in to her room, is a little room used for a sewing or storage room with a window in the north side. East of this room, with a door opening into it, is where Springer was sleeping. The screen on the window in the little room is the one which was cut. Through this window, the shots were fired and Mrs. Wright and daughter were only few feet away. The negro was found dead in a little brick building adjoining Springer's room.
     Circumstances seem to justify the conclusion that Wright went there prepared to kill somebody and took the negro along for some purpose. A stray bullet from Springer's pistol ended the negro's life.

     Justice Skelton, who viewed the body of Baker, has not yet taken any testimony, and has, of course, reached no conclusion. He, however, says there is no doubt Baker was killed by a pistol ball passing through his head.

     At 3 o'clock this afternoon, Police Officer Henry Waller appeared before Justice Skelton and made affidavit against Wright and Springer, charging them with shooting with intent to kill.
Neither of the prisoners has, up to this afternoon, asked for a hearing for to give bond, though they will probably do so before night.

     Mrs. H. C. Fallon, a daughter of the late Dr. J. C. Storey, died yesterday evening at her home, 441 Jackson street. Death was due to an attack of pleuro-pneumonia.

     Andrew Foster, the 12-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Foster, living on a farm two and one-half miles south of Oak Cliff, died this morning from the effects of blood poisoning.
     Three weeks ago yesterday, the little fellow, who was a nephew of Justice of the Peace J. A. Creel, of Oak Cliff, stuck a bois d'arc thorn in his left foot. The foot began to swell and became so painful that the boy had to take to his bed. Yesterday, the foot was amputated, but too late to save the boy's life.

     Mrs. Eliza Fisher, the widow of a well known citizen of the county, died this morning at her home near Calhoun, some miles northeast of the city. She was 54 years of age, and had been ill for some time.
     The deceased was well known and highly esteemed and had a large family connection in the county.
     She was the mother of four sons and two daughters, one of the latter being the wife of County Judge Foree. She was the sister-in-law of the late County Commissioner T. B.

     James H. Herman, the man who attended to the hats of the guests at the Oriental, died suddenly this morning at an early hour at his home on St. Louis street. He was 27 years old, married, and in fairly good circumstances.
      His death was investigated during the day by Justice of the Peace Skelton, and although no verdict was rendered, it is supposed that death was due to acute rheumatism suddenly striking the heart. Herman had worked at the hotel since January, and is said never in that time to have made a mistake in the hat of a guest. He was greatly liked by his fellow employees and looked upon as a very painstaking employe by the hotel management.
     According to Headwaiter Sanders, Herman made a hearty meal about 9 o'clock last night just before going home. He also ate considerable ice cream.
     The waiters have purchased a magnificent floral cross, which will be laid upon the dead man's coffin this afternoon, the funeral taking place at St. James' church. They will also act as pall bearers.

     An unusually large congregation assembled at the Pleasant Valley church, five miles east of Garland, yesterday forenoon to hear the Rev. Dr. Patterson, of Ellis county, preach.
The preliminary service of song and prayer was over, and the preacher was about to announce his text, and the men and boys on the outside were throwing away their quids of tobacco and cigarette stubs and getting ready to go inside, when Augustus A. Garrison appeared in front of the church, and walking up to Frank Jones, said:
     "Now, d--n you, I've got you," and shot him dead.
     Tom Jones, brother to Frank, who was close by, pulled a pistol, whereupon Garrison proceeded to shoot at him, the second shot from Garrison's pistol shattering Jones' left thigh bone, felling him to the ground. But Jones, raising himself on his elbow, continued to shoot, but it was not until the sixth shot he got Garrison. The bullet entered near Garrison's heart and ranged upward, killing him instantly.
     The congregation stampeded in the wildest fashion. The women screamed and fainted, children were run over and trampled upon, excited men rushed hither and thither and horses and mules broke loose and ran away, tearing up vehicles, and the utmost confusion reigned.
     Garrison's brother got hold of his dead kinsmen's pistol, and Will Jones, a brother to Frank and tom, appeared on the scene with a big 45 gun, and there would undoubtedly have been additional bloodshed had not neighbors interposed and kept the men apart.
     Tom Jones, in a dying condition, was removed to his home. The surgeons announced that the bone of the left thigh was shattered for a distance of six inches and that the patient was dangerously wounded, and his condition rendered still more critical by the great loss of blood.
     The bodies of the dead were left as they fell until Justice Swim, of Garland, could come out and view them, when they were removed to their respective homes, and prepared for interment.

     August A. Garrison was 25 years old, and the son of Widow Garrison. There are three surviving brothers and several sisters. Frank Jones was 20 years old and Tom, 16. The latter were the sons of Jesse Jones, who lives a mile from the church and half a mile from Widow Garrison, both families highly respectable and well-to-do. They have lived neighbors for years. The children grew up together, attending the same school and same Sunday school from the time they were carried to church as sleeping infants until yesterday.
The boys in both families were sober and industrious; they lived in a local option precinct, and whisky had nothing to do with the tragedy.

     Frank Jones had seduced, or was charged with having seduced Garrison's sister, the young lady giving birth to a child last spring. August Garrison told young Jones at the time that if he did not repair the wrong by marrying the girl, he would kill him.
     In order to avoid a collision, Jones left the neighborhood and did not return until last Saturday. Sunday morning, he went over to the church, as he had been in the habit of doing all his life. He was probably expecting trouble, as he had a six-shooter on him, but did not get to use it, as Garrison shot him three times and killed him before he could pull it.

     The funeral of Garrison took place this forenoon and that of Frank Jones will occur this afternoon, both from the same church and to the same cemetery near the church. The people in the neighborhood turning out on both occasions and extending their sympathies and condolence to both stricken families.

     Constable C. P. Bane, of Garland, who was in the city, said to a Times Herald reporter:
     "Frank Jones, who was shot three times by Gus Garrison, did not make an attempt to pull his pistol, and it would have done him no good if he had, as it would not work. It was a fine pistol, but it had become so rusty that it could not be cocked. It was a 38-calibre Winchester Colt, and had only two loads in it.
     "Garrison and Tom Jones did their shooting at very close range, but tom did very poor shooting. Garrison shot him down and was standing nearly over him and would, undoubtedly, have killed him the next shot, had not Tom got in a vital shot, which made him drop his pistol, which he was pointing, and in the act of shooting, stagger and fall.
     "Jones quickly reloaded his pistol after he got Garrison with the last cartridge in it. Garrison's brother ran up and picked up the pistol Gus had dropped and a third Jones brother put in an appearance with a pistol in his hand, but the people stopped further bloodshed.
     "There was one cartridge left in Garrison's pistol and he had another pistol he had not used. Garrison fired five shots, and Tom Jones six.
     "Two of Tom Jones' bullets lodged in the church door, which the congregation had fortunately closed. Most of the people in the church jumped out of the windows.
"Miss Garrison, who was the cause of the trouble, is a very young girl, not over fifteen years old."

     The funeral of Dr. J. H. Titterington will take place Wednesday at 10 a. m. from the residence of James Bently, 821 Ross avenue. Interment at Greenwood.

     Mrs. R. S. Nash, aged 65 years old, the mother-in-law of A. C. Seawell, died last night at the home of her son-in-law, No. 388 Live Oak street. Death was due to softening of the brain.
     Dr. J. H. Titterington, well known in Dallas, died Sunday at Las Vegas, New Mexico. The remains will reach here this evening and the funeral will take place to-morrow.

     Mrs. Eliza Haskell, wife of H. H. Haskell, died at her home, 118 North Haskell avenue, shortly before 2 o'clock to-day. She was about 65 years old.

     Mrs. Oliver Coesh, aged 63, died last night at her home, 145 Cottonwood lane.  Death was due to heart trouble, from which she had been a sufferer for some time.  Her husband was formerly engaged in doing some team work for the city.

    The week ending Saturday closed with ten deaths reported as occurring within the city during that period. Of these, only two were adults.
    The official list for the week reads as follows:

     The five-weeks-old infant of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Williamson of West Dallas, died Saturday.

     At 1:50 this afternoon William Harbrecht shot and killed Walter Stover, in front of the saloon of Harbrecht's brother on the northwest corner of Elm and Crowdus streets.

_____

     While a number of men witnessed the killing, they begged to be excused from talking when approached by a Times Herald reporter. The barkeeper said:
     "All there was about it was they met here and had a fist fight which they wound up outside the door, where I couldn't see. Then Mr. Harbrecht ran in here and got the pistol and killed him."
     Several others said it started with a fist fight, of which Stover, though much the smaller man, got the better and that when Harbrecht got whipped he ran in and got his gun.

     Harbrecht fired one shot, the bullet taking effect in Stover's right chest. The wounded man exclaimed: "My God," and fell. He lived about ten minutes and expired just as his father arrived.

     Justice Skelton held the inquest and the remains were taken charge of by Undertaker Smith.

     Stover was twenty years old, and a small man. He was employed on one of Lemp's ice delivery wagons. He lived with his parents on St. George street.

     William Harbrecht is 26 years old, and single. He has been making a crop near Lancaster. He got through with it three or four weeks ago and coming to town, went to work on one of Lemp's beer wagons.

     A Times Herald reporter found a number of the ice men at the factory. While they refused to make any statements for publication, they appeared to be unanimously of the opinion that Harbrecht was not justified in shooting Stover who, though not much more than half his size, had licked him in a fair fight. Stover was unarmed.
     A Times Herald reporter called at the Calaboose in the city hall to get Harbrecht's version of the killing, but he positively refused to make a statement, dismissing the reporter with a wave of the hand and the simple statement: "I don't want nothing to do with you all."
     Harbrecht is a stockily built fellow, standing about 5 feet 11 inches in his stocking feet and weighing in the neighborhood of 180 pounds. He was dressed in the garb of laborer, wearing a jumper, jeans, pants and a slouchy hat. He wears a small stubby mustache. His face looked the worse for his fist fight with Stover.

Mr. Eaton was born at Worcester, Mass., 65 years ago. Tiring of his New England home, he decided to cast his fortune with the South, and accordingly, in the year 1878, he moved to Dallas, where he resided ever since. Before his health became impaired, he was one of the most successful building contractors in Dallas.
     He was a gentleman of sterling worth and Christian character, and his death is deplored by all who knew him. He was a member of the First Baptist church of this city, and was, during his younger days, a great worker in church affairs. The funeral will take place at 4 o'clock from the family residence.

    The following deaths were reported to the local undertakers for the week ending Saturday:

     Saturday afternoon, after a careful inspection of the photograph taken of the unknown man found Friday morning in the Trinity river, Mr. Sam Hilbold, the mail carrier living at 345 South Preston street positively identified it as a likeness of his father-in-law, Edward Knopfley, who disappeared three days ago from the Bear hotel on Swiss avenue.
     The photograph was also exhibited to a number of Knopfley's intimate friends, who all agreed in the opinion that it was no other than that of the missing man.
     Accordingly, the remains were disinterred from the potter's field where they were buried Thursday, and buried in Greenwood cemetery by the Swiss society, of which the deceased was a member. It is understood that Knopfley carried a small sum on his life in the order, but the amount could not be learned.
     A convincing proof that Knopfley contemplated self destruction was found yesterday in his room at the Bear hotel by Mrs. J. J. Yost, the landlady.
In looking over the clothes left by the dead man, she came across a little note book, on a leaf of which was written a few words in German that forecasted his intention.
     The translation is as follows:
Dear friends and relatives:
      I am forsaken by my dear ones and have lost my hopes of employment and I long for a resting place. Bury me in quietness. Forgive all injuries I may have done. I find a welcome nowhere, so adieu, adieu.
                                                                 EDWARD KNOPFLEY.
     Knopfley was well known at the Bear hotel, where he had boarded a number of times before. He had been there the last time for about five months and was well liked.
     A pathetic feature of the case was that on Thursday, the same day Knopfley left the house in a fit of despondency on account of his inability to obtain work, Mr. Chas. Meisterhans called at the hotel with a proffer of work. He had interested himself in behalf of his countryman, and it is likely that had he come before the unfortunate man left the house, Knopfley would be alive to-day. The case is a peculiarly sad one.

     Little Etta Sullsky, the five-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I. Sullsky, living at 194 Caroline street, was burned to death yesterday afternoon, dying at 5 o'clock.
     About 11 o'clock yesterday, Mr. Sullsky raked up a pile of old trash in the back yard for the purpose of burning it up. The pile of trash did not ignite very readily and he poured a can of coal oil on it.
     Several children were standing around watching him and when a match was touched to the oil-soaked trash, the flames leaped up and caught the clothing of a little boy who was standing near. Mr. Sullsky grabbed the little boy and rushed with him to bucket of water without paying any attention to the other children. He succeeded in extinguishing the flames before any serious damage was done to the little boy, but before his task was completed, the screams of little Etta attracted his attention.
     He rushed into the yard and found her clothing in a light blaze and her mother trying heroically to put it out, but before the flames could be extinguished, the little girl was so badly burned, that death followed in a few hours.
     She was severely burned about the face and body and suffered intense agony until opiates were administered. Everything possible was done to alleviate her sufferings, but death alone relieved her.
     Mrs. Sullsky was badly burned about the arms and hands.

     Interesting memorial services to the memory of Miss Annie Shaw were held at St. Mark's Methodist church, Oak Cliff, yesterday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. The church was heavily draped in mourning and was filled with friends of the departed girl. Several of her favorite hymns were sung by a choir composed of Miss Mildred Harvey, Mrs. Price, Mrs. E. L. Spraggins and Messrs. Jackson and Peckham. Miss Harvey sang "Not Lost, But Gone Before," in a very sweet and impressive manner, after which Mr. W. M. Crow, Superintendent of the Sunday School of the church, read the following:
     To the Oak Cliff Methodist Sunday School: The undersigned committee, appointed to present resolutions expressing the feelings of this Sunday School upon the death of Miss Annie Shaw, respectfully submit the following:
     Resolved, 1. That in her death, this school has lost one of its most efficient, pure and consecrated teachers.
     Resolved, 2. That her brief, but devoted and unselfish life stands out as a bright recollection of all that is beautiful and true and will be to us a guide, a blessing and a holy inspiration. Her deep devotion to the principles of Christianity, her fidelity and zeal in the discharge of duty, her warm attachment and sympathy for little boys and girls and her great tact and success in controlling and elevating their lives, were among the most prominent features of her character. The sacred memory of her pure life is engraven on the hearts of all who ever felt the cordial grasp of her friendly hand, saw the genial and loving smile upon her face, shared in the sunshine of her benevolence and sympathy or in our own Sunday School, knelt with her in meek devotion at the hallowed shrine of the Word's Redeemer.
     Resolved, 3. That these resolutions be preserved with the records of our Sunday School and a copy furnished for publication to the Texas Christian Advocate and also the family of the deceased. Respectfully,
                                          MISS DAISY CUMMINGS,
                                          MRS. JACKSON.
                                          MRS. R. M. CLARK,
                                   Committee on resolutions.
     Miss Sadie Williams, for the Epworth League, read a tribute to the memory of the departed and Dr. O. L. Williams for the citizens of Oak Cliff and the neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Shaw and family made a few appropriate remarks. This over, the pastor, Rev. T. H. Morris, paid a beautiful tribute to the departed. At its conclusion, Rev. Mr. Morris announced that the funeral would take place from the family residence this morning.
     The funeral took place this morning and was attended by a large concourse of friends. Many beautiful floral offerings were placed upon the grave.

     Willie Carroll, aged 13 months, died at his home, No. 561 Commerce street, yesterday, of congestion of the stomach.
     The three weeks' old infant of Mrs. Smith, No. 214 Caroline street, died this morning.

     Ennis, Tex., Oct. 13.-- H. F. Dietz, said to be a well known business man of Dallas, committed suicide at the Lane hotel in this city this morning. Mr. Dietz arrived here last night on a business trip and registered at the hotel. He retired in the regular manner last night and seemed to be in good spirits. This morning, when the bell boy went to awaken him, he was found in a semi-conscious condition, and seemed to be suffering from poisoning.
     Drs. Margin and Edward s were summoned, who immediately pronounced it a case of morphine poisoning and went to work accordingly, but all to no avail, as he died at 12:25 p. m., after four hours of terrible suffering. The doctors announced that he took five grains of morphine. From all appearances, the dose was taken about 8 o'clock this morning.
     Dietz left a note in his room asking that Simpson & Doolittle of Dallas, be notified of his death. On his person was found several papers and a small amount of money. His remains are now at the hotel.

     Mr. Dietz was, for some time, in the employment of Sanger Bros. Subsequently, about three or four years ago, he embarked in business for himself, in the manufacture of spring beds, being the manger of the company. Later, he was engaged as a commercial traveler. He married some years since, Miss Emma Oppenheim, one of the foremost and most honored of the state's vocalists. His mind had been unbalanced for the past year or two, and his health seemed to give way under an unaccountable melancholia, which he could not account for, and which, in his brighter moments, he fully realized and deplored as much as the endeared ones about him.

     Wood Smith shot and killed Andrew Spillers at Garland this forenoon.

     Full particulars of the homicide have not yet reached Dallas. But, from what can be here gathered, it appears that Smith was a tenant on the farm of Abe Spillers, a brother to Andrew. Tenant and landlord had a falling out. Smith went to Garland last Saturday and proceeded to tell Andrew about his troubles with Abe. Andrew told him that he had nothing to do with Abe's business and didn't care to hear about it, whereupon Smith struck him with his fist. Spillers picked up a rock and proceeded to pound his assailant with it. Bystanders stopped the fight.
     This forenoon, Smith went to Garland, and meeting Spillers on the street, proceeded to shoot him four times with a six-shooter, killing him on the spot.

     Smith was arrested by Constable Pate Bane, who will bring him to Dallas on the evening train.

     Smith has a wife and one child. The deceased was a widower without children. He was the senior member of the mercantile firm of Spiller Bros., in Garland.

     Lillian A. E'Ablemont, aged 15 months, died this morning at the home of her parents, No. 365 Thomas avenue, of intermittent fever.
     Charley Dansley, the young boy who, on last Saturday, fell from a pecan treet near Oak cliff, died from the effects of the fall at his home on Eighth street in Oak Cliff, this morning. The remains will be buried to-morrow.

     Mrs. Isaac Dinkelspeel died yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the family home, 114 Cadiz street. She had been ill for the past week, and seemed to be recovering on Friday, but on Saturday evening, a change for the worse took place. This estimable and courageous woman leaves a city full of mourners at her loss.

     Willie H., 9 year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Wray, of 391 Pacific avenue, was run over and crushed to death by a float on Pacific avenue near his home this forenoon.
     The little fellow was attempting the popular boyish feat of hanging on behind the float. His hold gave way and the lurching of the float threw him under one of the hind wheels, which passed over him, crushing his chest so that he died with a few minutes.
The inquest was held by Justice Skelton.

    The following is the death list for the week ending Oct. 23:
    Downs, Fred T., infant of, Oct. 17, No. 107 Burke street; still born.

     Edward Young, colored, aged about 32 years, was killed in an elevator accident at the Dallas Packing house about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
     Exactly how the accident which cost Young his life occurred, is not and will probably never be known. The elevators at the packing house are of the electric automatic kind. The one on which Young was killed runs from the basement to the top floor of the building and is in what is known as the beef department.
     At about the hour above indicated, Young stepped into the elevator in the basement pushing a pair of heavy trucks in ahead of him. He pulled the cord and the elevator ascended, but between the second and third floors, instead of continuing in the ascent, the elevator stopped, and, all the works seeming to give way at once, it dropped to the basement below with the velocity and force of a heavy body dropped into open space.
     Workmen rushed quickly to the rescue, the elevator was opened at once, and the mangled, bleeding body of a human being was drawn out, from which every spark of life had fled. the head was seemingly mashed almost to a pulp, the brain was oozing out in two or three places and his face and the clothing on his body was completely saturated with blood. The sight was indeed a sickening one and even those men who have watched hundreds of gallons of blood flow freely from the carcasses of animals without even a tremor, turned in horror from this ghastly scene.
     Undertaker Smith was notified, the "dead wagon" was immediately sent out and the mangled corpse was removed to its former home, corner Holmes street and Grand avenue.
     Young's family, consisting of a wife, a little child and a sister about 16 years old, had not been previously notified of the unfortunate accident, and when the wagon drove up and the young sister caught a glimpse of the lifeless corpse, she became almost hysterical, wailing and moaning loud enough to be heard all over the neighborhood. The wife was away from home at the time, but was soon attracted thereto by the cries of her young sister-in-law. At the sight of the blood-soaked body of her dead husband, she, too, became hysterical and joined in the wailing of the young girl. The continued cries permeated every section of the neighborhood and soon the house was filled with people, black and white.
     When a Times Herald reporter arrived on the scene, about 4 o'clock, there was still a large crowd of colored people about, but the remains had received the attention of the undertaker. The wounds which caused Young's death were confined solely to his head. The forehead and top part of the head was crushed and flattened out as if by a sledge hammer, and the side of his skull over his ear was cracked large enough to run a hand into. From these wounds, brains and blood were oozing.
     An interview with several men connected with the packing house failed to thrown any light on the manner in which these wounds were received, other than those above stated. All conclusions are problematical, but it seems that either he must have been thrown with great force against the heavy trucks, or the elevator rebounded when it struck the basement and his head came in contact with the facing of the stationary door to the elevator. One thing is certain, and that is that he never knew what struck him.
     It was stated that some employes noticed the elevator was acting queerly and yelled to Young to jump out, but for some reason, he failed to do so.
     Young was quite well to do. He had a nicely furnished home at the corner of Holmes street and Grand avenue, and was well liked by all the neighbors. He had lived there for a number of years.

    The following deaths are reported for the week ending yesterday:

     James Boswell, the wild man from Mississippi, who did a lot of reckless shooting on Germania street Thursday night, killing Will Barton, shooting Mrs. Lizzie Weideman, and then shooting himself in the chest, died in the hospital department of the county jail at midnight Friday night. The body was taken charge of by Undertaker Loudermilk, who is awaiting instructions from the relatives of the deceased at Holly Springs, Mississippi.
     Meantime, Mrs. Weideman is in a bad way at the Parkland hospital. Dr. Armstrong says she was shot through the body twice, besides catching a bullet in the fleshy part of her arm. Her condition was less promising last night than it had been at any time since she was wounded, and the doctor would not be surprised at any turn she might take, as he had no way of knowing just what amount of damage the bullets have done among her vitals.
     Whatever else may be said of Mrs. Weideman, she certainly did have a way of getting the men crazy stuck on her.

     Mrs. Mary W. Young yesterday filed suit against the Queen City Street Railway company and the Houston and Texas Central Railway company for $15,000 actual and $5000 exemplary damages, and all costs of the litigation, for the loss of her son, R. C.

     The death of Dr. J. H. Henry, president of the Crowdus Drug company, was announced in these columns yesterday morning. He died at his home in Oak Cliff Friday afternoon. Death was unexpected and he succumbed to a sudden attack of heart disease.
     Dr. Henry was born in the town of Greenville, Ill., sixty-five years ago, and his parents were pioneer settlers of that state. Forty-six years ago, he accompanied his father to Texas, and for nearly half a century, he was identified with the state of his adoption, and witnessed its marvelous growth. In 1868, he married Miss Anna Crowdus. He was engaged in the drug business for more than forty years and was connected with the Crowdus Drug company from the date of its organization. Two sons and one daughter survive him--Mrs. Clyde Dewoody and Messrs. Will and Harvey E. Henry. The latter, who is attending school at Notre Dame, Ind., will arrive in Dallas to-night. Dr. Henry was a man of correct habits and sound business judgment, and had many friends.
     The funeral took place yesterday afternoon from the family residence, Oak Cliff. There were a number of beautiful floral offerings from relatives and friends of the family. The pall bearers were Messrs. Albert Tenison, J. W. Ayres, J. D. Padgitt, Frank Wilson, Albert Mann and Will Apperson. The remains were interred at Greenwood.

     Miss Ella N. Breslin committed suicide by burning herself to death at 10 o'clock this morning at the Girls' Co-Operative (Home, No. 223 Ross avenue. That it was a case of deliberate suicide, there seems to be but little room for doubt.
     Miss Breslin was about 40 years of age. She came to the Co-Operative Home on the fourth day of last November. Previous to that time, she had been employed at the Episcopal college in East Dallas in the capacity of assistant house-keeper. Her health and strength failed her at the college, and she was sent to the Home to rest and recuperate.
     Since she has been at the home, she has seemed to be in very depressed spirits and in great mental trouble. On one or two occasions, she has remarked to the young ladies of the Home, that she had rather be dead than in her present condition.
     No attention was paid to these remarks beyond the expression of that sweet sympathy, which only a young woman can express, and no idea was entertained of there being any possibility of her doing herself serious bodily harm.
     Last night, she chatted with the young lady occupants of the Home in her usual mood before retiring. This morning, after breakfast, she conversed with the matron for a short while, and complaining a little of feeling bad, and being in some slight trouble, she retired to her room, presumably to rest.
     About an hour later, the matron though she discerned some unusual noise in the room and quickly ran upstairs to ascertain the cause. Opening the door without knocking, she was horrified almost beyond expression, to find the bed upon which Miss Breslin was lying, rapidly burning and Miss Breslin's clothing wrapped in flames.
     The matron called some mother ladies to her assistance, and together, they attempted to extricate the flames which were rapidly consuming her clothing and her life, but in this, they were met with stubborn resistance. Miss Breslin evaded them as best she could and resisted all their efforts to save her by exclaiming" "Oh, let me die!" Let me burn up!" "Take a knife and cut my throat!" and other such expressions.
     The bed-clothing was rapidly burning, and the room had caught in several places, but the fire department arrive don the scene about this time and the flames were quickly subdued, but not until the unfortunate woman had been burned beyond recognition about the head and face and terribly burned about the body.
     Although her sufferings seemed to have reached the unconscious stage, medical aid was summoned and everything possible was done by the matron and young ladies of the Home for the young lady, but she died about two hours later without giving any explanation or cause for the act.
     On her table was found a letter addressed to S. A. Harlan, Indianapolis, Ind. The letter, which was not sealed, or stamped, read as follows:
     Dallas, Dec. 18, 1897.--S. A. Harlan: I write to tell you that I did not know of my dear sister's danger. If I had known anything about it, I would have taken her place. I did not see her do anything wrong. I had no idea she was in danger from ----. I write this for her dear children's sake. This is my last testament.
                                                ELLA N. BRESLIN.

     The remains were taken charge of by Undertaker Loudermilk. Justice Lauderdale held an inquest and returned a verdict in accordance with the facts. The funeral will take place some time to-morrow, sufficient money being on deposit to Miss Breslin's credit in the National Bank of Commerce to pay her funeral expenses.

     The room in which the unfortunate affair occurred is located on the second floor of the main building of the Home, on the east side. There was no fire in the room at the time and Miss Breslin was not in the habit of curling her hair, so lamp theories are out of the question. From all indications, she first built a fire under the bed with paper and other inflammable material and then laid down on the bed to burn to death. But for the matron's watchfulness and acute sense of hearing, the Girls' Co-Operative Home might now be in ashes.
     This is the first accident that has befallen the Home since its organization, and is universally regretted by all who have learned of the unfortunate occurrence.

     Devereaux was 25 years old and a native of Texarkana, where his mother lives.
