SOUTHERN.

At Weatherford, Tex., the west-bound Texas Pacific passenger train was wrecked by a broken rail. Thirty passengers were injured, some very seriously. A bill has gone through the Texas Senate to punish fence-cutting by imprisonment for two to five years. In a row at Dallas, Miss., one man was killed, two mortally hurt, and several others seriously injured. The first Jewish temple at Memphis, erected at a cost of $40,000, was dedicated. An elevated road, adapted both to passengers and freight, is to be constructed along the levee at New Orleans within two years.
