Colonel D. U. Dulley yesterday stated to a
BEE rcH | > rtcr. Una he should ask that no
special term of the district coin t bo called in
the early part , of January , as the attorneys
were much opimscd , to it , and the clerk
needed the time to prcpaio for the regular
ternj that convenes on the'J-4tlof ( that month ,
"with Judge Thontc.ll on tho'bcnch ,
Ctilcf Templelon finished his annual ex
amination of the imblie school buildings yes
terday , tjomu steam pipes packed with saw
dust J at the Hlnomcr school suggested a
change , unit u few other minor matters
claimed his attention. He reports the buildIngs -
Ings all In good bhape , and all possible pre
cautions are taken to preyent a lire.
Yesterday's tax sale was largely attended ,
and , in the language of a real estate man , "it
was the hottest one that Council HlnlTs has
ever h.id. " Over three hundred pieces of
property were disposed of , and for many of
them a handsome premium was paid. Kvi-
dcutly the business men conclude that there. ,
is no worthless property hero , and none
which will not make valuable returns to the
possessors.
The corrugated iron qcillng at the Broad
way lire IIOUHO was completed yesterday.
The plumbers and carpenters have finished
their work , and the hard pine wood work
used ns casings and finishing , Is receiving its
Hull ! coal of oil. This ham'Somo building is
now virtually completed , although there nro
several minor details yet to bo attended to ,
that will require some time lo gel
fctralfihteued out.
The evening paper that a week ago an
nounced the arrival of the furniture for the
court liouso and its being put in place must
have drawn upon Imagination or the future
for facts , for the closest scruting fails to re
veal the smallest part of such furniture. The
mouldings , canopies and other adornments
have arrived , but the other work has not
progressed sufficiently to allow of their being
put In place. The building Is yet unheatcd ,
and the workmen are laboring under a most
serious disadvantage which must increase as
the weather becomes colder.
A request was sent Into the polica station
about U o'clock yesterday afternoon by telephone -
phone for the patrol wagon and a stretcher to
bo sent to Stewart's packing house , in the
western part of the city. It was thought that
some serious affair had taken place , and the
wagon was not long In getting there. It
' 'seemed that Samuel Anderson , one of the
employes , had fallen upon the steam scraper ,
and one leg had been somewhat injured. The
Injury was not so severe as was Ihst sup
posed , but ho had a narrow escape. Ho was
convoyed to his hotel , the 1C. of L. house ,
opposite the dummy dcj > ot. Dr. Macrae at'
tended him , and he "will soon bo able to re-
eunw his work. Had he gone deeper into
the machinery , ho would have been quickly
reduced to mince incut.

Several of the most prominent citi/ens of
this pity have been trying for a long time to
find out the system of mathematics used in
figuring out the length of the sentences of
those unfortunates who are sent to the city
and county jails. A man is'allowcd 1.50 per
day for his time in the city jail , and $3.3W !
per day in The county jail. Now the only
difference that can be observed In thotic.it-
incnt of the prisoners , that tlose ) at the
county fail ate required to eat three /good
meals per day , while those at the city cooler
have but two. Now the only inference to bo
drawn is this , if it is worth $ l."iO to cat two
square meals , it is worth 3.83jf ! to likewise
devour three. It \\l\\ \ \ bo readily
seen that the increase is
not to be explained by the rules of
"ordinary arlthmatlc , and it is not at all
strange that the aforesaid investigators are
still as much in the dark ns emy Nothing
like it was ever seen even in coc'nietriraT pro-
grc\ision. Theory after theory has been ad
vanced to explain it , and the one generally
accepted as the most plausible is that the
rule was modeled from the methods of some
real estatc.incn. In advancing the price of
their property from eight to ten fold , accordIng -
Ing to the indications of a "wild cat" boom.
This would explain the original advance , but
as the rates never fluctuate hi4this case , ' it is
evident that another explanation is needed.
If anyone should happen to discover the key
to this , as j ct unsolved problem , ho would
confer a great favor by cnllghtning these de
feated mathematicians.

MRS. HARRINGTON ALIVE.
Now AVIth Her Sister In Texas Her
WnmlcrhiRd.
Now York Herald : Joy , though it
wns tinctured with sadness , Illled a
quiet household at Highland Falls .yes
terday , with a strangely brightened iit-
mosphcre such as it had not known in
many weary months.
The parents sister tui'd brothers of
Mrs. Grace Harrington , the widow of
the young lieutenant who fell in the
Ctisfcr massacre , know at last that she
had been found and Hint , after so long n
period of demented wandering , during
which thcv had been doubtful whether
pho was allvo or dead , she had returned
to the kind refuge which she had left
and was lovingly watched and cared for
once more.
But the poor stricken wanderer had
not yet fully recovered her reason , aud
she "was physically almost a hopeless
\ \ rock.
And thus a dark cloud still rests upon
the anxious hearts who love her , and
this may further be deepened at any
time by'her death , or , on the other hand ,
months and even years may elapse be
fore it can be wholly removed.
A Herald reporter found yesterday , at
Mr. Berarn's home In Highlands Falls ,
an air almost of depression , as is a sharp
reaction had followed the good news.
Neither Mr. Bcrard nor his wife % yore
visible , aud the reporter was received
by their daughter , Miss Julia Burard.
The effect of the strong agitation that
she endured was quite evident in her
strange and distraught manner. The
sound of youthful voices come from the
room adjoining that where the reporter
was received , but they were not those of
Mrs. Harrington's children. The latter
are away from home. The boy , who was
named Henry , after his fathor.is attend
ing a. boarding school at Tivoli , on the
Hudson , and the daughter. Aileen , who
is fourteen , one year older than ho , is
staying at Grand Rapids , Mich. , witli
relatives.
TIIK rixoixo OF Tnn LOST OXK.
After a little brief conversation Miss
Berurd placed in the hands of her visi
tor the following letter , written by Mrs.
Edward Matthews , at Wichta , Tex.and
containing the lirst and only intelli
gence of the finding of Mrs. Harrington
which has been received by the family
save that which has been publibhed in
the Herald :
"My Darling Sister : We have at last
heard oLGrnco.
"Indeed , we have found her.
"She is dreadfully broken in health
auC Oici- mind is still somewhat im
paired.
"When she left Dcnton she wns feel
ing very strange and ill , and the last
thing she could remember was having
apolieciuan ask her if she was not
'drunk. ' . A doctor in Gainesville said
that she was insane from the long use of
chloral ' ( ordered by her physician ) .
When Her memory came back she wrote
to us from Arkansas , where some people
were talcing care of her , and she was
cooking for them , even in her ill
health.
"Was it not dreadful ?
"She addressed her letter to Wichita
Falls.
' She evidently has been wandering
all over Texas and Arkansas , and why
somebody has not found her 1 cannot
imagine.
" 1 have asked her a number of ques
tions , but she does not remember much
of what occurred during her wander
ings.
11ROKKX IX HKAT/rlT.
"She was in a wretched condition of
health and came to Fort Worth in a calico
ice dress , all mended.
' It will be impossible for her to go
homo before spring , for she could not
stand the change. I fear she has con
sumption. The doctor says she ought
to go further south for the winter.
' My mind is all in a whirl , and
scarcely know what I am writing.
' I did not got her letter for a long
time and did not write home at once be
cause I wanted to know how pa's health
was. She wished to write to him , but I
would not lot her for- fear it would bo
too great a shock. Break it to him as
gently as possible and Grace will write
to him as soon as wo hear from home.
"She says she remembers a man say
ing in seine town Unit ho knew that
woman when she was an officer's wife , "
and she never forgot the remark.
MKMOllY ALMOST A-llbAXK.
| ' 'I cannot toll you where she 1ms been
for I do not know. She remembers til"
about the visit at Denton and startling
for some , but she was taken with one of
these old hoanehes on tlio train nni1
then all was blank for some" time. Bir
while at Tesarkanti and Mai-shall she
know iiho sewed and did work for a liv
ing.
" ( iinco must have been the lady the
brukcmun saw ivt Dallas.
' Have Birdie and Harry write to he
nt once and tell them their poor inammu
would never have deserted them. *
"She send-t love to all at homo and
says she is heart broken because of all
'
yo'ur pain and sorrow. "
Till : I'AVOKITE HAUOHTKU.
After ho had read this affecting letter
Miss Bcrard said to the reporter :
"It is u mislako , " continued Mis-j
Borand , "to say that Greco was ren
dered insane bj the death of Harry , her
husband. It 5b true that this fact preyed
11 great deal upon her mind , and that
she ehcriched the belief , or rather , per
haps the intense hope that ho hud not
been killed with the rest of C'uster's
ollicers , us reported , and would return.
You know that this belief was shared by
a good many army ollircrs. She no
doubt thought too constantly about nim.
And their for a long time wo were in
such an agony of suspense ! Day after
duyord came from the west that ho
was duad , or then again that ho was
probably alive. Then the descriptions
which were written ol the dreadful manner -
nor in which the vlctilns were killed ,
how they wore tortured , hacked aud
burned to doUtht-oh.'to think of it now
even makes one uhuilder !
