lines of march to, and alas the lines

The TURco-SERvLAN WAR already furnishes
its quota Of horrors committed by the Turks
We read of Christian women and children
being placed in the Turkish trenches that
they might receive the fire of the advancing
Servians. Villages in Bulgaria have been
burned, the men murdered and the children
cut to pieces. Such revolving atrocities are
painful to read of from Europe in the nine
seenth century They are sure to be-
get equally savage retaliation wherever
the Servians get the upper hand. 1t is de-
plorable that people capable of such bar
barism should be kept in power by the con-
federated sefshness of some of the great
Powers. We shall doubtless hear apologies
for these inhuman acts from the lips of men
who would be ashamed to hurt stray kit

Icy" can find excuse for massacre and rapine

OFFICER GREEN, of the Twenty-frst pre-
cinct, who arrested the escaped convict,
James Fay, on Saturday last, deserves more
than n passing encomium on his gallantry.
In the face of gang of rowdies, who at
tempted to rescue the prisoner, Officer Green
held on to his man. Having put the gang to
fight and after desperate resistance on the
part of Fay he succeeded in Handwriting the
latter and taking hirl to the station house
This is the sort of man we want on the police
rorce-a man unwilling to treat prisoner
with unnecessary brutality, but as brave as
! lion and Us pertinacious as a bulldog in
doing his duty, man whose grip upon n
lawbreaker means in all cases an arrest We
hope the Police Commissioners will fitly re-
ward Officer Green and so make his action a
pattern for the police. To reward an officer
who performs a specially meritorious deed
is quite as important as noting and punish
ing the backsliding Of delinquents.

The supply of the Body.

y The stomach is the grand depot OF the
body, upon which it draws for all the ele-
ments needed in the composition of bone,
muscle, brain AMI blood. The liver is an
important auxiliary Of this mighty orgnn,
and the two are most intimately connected.
Nothing SO certainly ensures the harmon
ious action of these viscera, and so com
pletely removes the disorders which 81
multaneouly aft ct both, as Hostetter's
Stomach BItters, the most popular Ameri-
can specific for all complaints to which the
stomach, liver anu bowels are subject, and
the foremost tonic on this side of the
Atlantic. Indigestion, costiveness, insctiv-
ity and congestion of the liver, poverty
of the blood, debility of the bladder and
kidneys, and many other ailments produced
by or causing weakness, are entirely re-
moved by its use.

bank of the river near the Avenue. At
present the gas works, the two ice manu-
factories and the water company's works
are the only establishments in actual and
successful operation in that vicinity, but
next week the new steam grist mill of Mr..
Sprinkle and Mayor Wheeler will be ready
for business, and will add to the din and
rattle caused by the other institutions
named, and 50 pleasant to all lovers of in
zdustry, skill and advancement, and so pc
culiar to cities of life, vitality and increas-
ing importance. Il will not be denied that
the gas works, the water works and the
street cars have contributed more to giving
Austin the appearance of city than all
that had ever been done before 1874, and
the gentlemen connected with those enter
prises are certainly entitled to the esteem
and gratitude of every citizen and property
owner in Austin. The ice factories, too,
come in for equal claims upon our citizens,
who must be proud when they see the tons
of ice that are daily taken out of those busy
establishments for consumption in the city
and shipment to interior towns. These
wo establishments not only give EN-
ployment to from ten to fifteen men,
but they enable people to live more
comfortably and economically than hereto
fore, and hence they are especially deserv-
ing of full measure of praise and the most
lavish encouragement, as are the gas and
water establishments and all other public
enterprises and manufacturing establish
ments. The Importance Of patronizing and
encouraging institutions which help to
make a city and contribute to the country's
industries and wealth, cannot be overesti-
mated, and it would seem that the people
of Austin are just now becoming thorough
ly impressed with the idea, and that the
time has come when there is positive de-
mand in Western Texas for mills, foun-
dries and manufacturing establishments OF
vprious kinds. Did not this feeling and
CONDITION prevail perhaps Mr.. Walter Tips,
Mr.. Crosthwaite, Mr.. Brown and others
would have hesltated to engage in the en-
terpIise of establishing a wooden and cot
ton mandatory and grist mill of nc
small pretensions IN this city, which
they will have in operation about
the first of September, and the SAINT
applies to Messrs. Sprinkle &c Wheeler
and to Mr.. Marchant, from Indiana, who is
also negotiating to establish wooden man,
ufactory in this city. The STATESMAN has
always been sanguine of the future growth
and importance of this city, but to-day il
is more sanguine than ever that in the neal
future Austin will become a city of thirty
thousand souls, and that it will have SOM
thing besides beautiful scenery, healthfu
climate, and "frNrtier trade" to boast
about and to subslst its populat,ol upon
Every one should speed that day as rapidly
as possible, and all should take pride and
an interest in everything done by some ont
else which is calculated to demonstrate thai
home industry and manufacturing enter
prise are as sure of reward here in Austlr
as in any other section of the country.

The MARROW GAUGE.-We are pleased
to observe the steadily increasing interes
that has been awakened among our citizens
during the past few days, on the subject of
the narrow gauge to Bagdad and Lampasas.
The conviction is deepening in Austin thai
the construction, promptly and energe,i-
cally, of twenty-five miles of this cheap
and remunerative route is the most availa-
BILE remedy for the very serious loss of our
most profitable trade, now threatened by
the establishment of depot at Round
Rock. Austin has grand possibilities in
her front, but her success will not come of
itself. 1t must be earned by intelligent,
combined, persistent effort, by an accurate
and comprehensive grasp of the situation,
aud by the will to use her natural and ac-
quired advantages to the height. During
this week subscription books will be offered
to our citizens, and We trust that the in
terest new being evinced will eliminate in
practical results. The amount necessary to
secure beyond contingency the speedy
building of twenty-five miles of this rail-
road has already been half taken, and a
few days of vigorous eXertion will capture
the balance. The advantages of the pro-
ject are evident-so evident as not to need
discussion. All tie material interests Of
our city are directly involved, and the fault
will be not in eur stars bat in ourselves, #
we are proved Inadequate.

STOLEN Houses CAPTuRED.-Mr. Fred.
Peck captured three horses from two ne
groes Thursday evening", near his fathers
residence, northeast of the city. The men
and horses were seen in the woods by an
old black man, who sent over for Mr..
Peck, and so soon as he arrived the thieves
left in hot haste, and Mr.. Peck after them,
and, had his saddle girth not broken, he
would have captured them. AS it was, he
crowded them SO close that they were com.
PEELED to disnneunts and take leg bail
through the woods aud over fences. He
captured three horses, a brown, bny and
gray, and those who have lost animals
can call on Mr., Peck for Information.

IMPAIRED DIGEsTIoN.-The majority of
people suffer to greater or lesser degree
from this sad affection; many unthinkingly
cultivate it by insuffiicently masticating
their food; others whose occupation is of II
sedentary character have it forced upon
them, the excessive use of tobacco, ETC., all
tend to develop it. The symptoms vary,
one suffering severely after meals, another
only slightly, constipation or diarrhea,
tiatulence, variable appetite, ETC., are only
few of lis unpleasant consequences. Now
what is required, is attention to diet, as
sisted by a remedy which adds the natural
secre'ions in the alimentary canal, and pro-
duces again normal solvsncy of food.
such valuable remedy is the celebrated
Home Stomach Bitters.

MARRIED.--At Bolton, on Tuesday morn
ing, Nav 80, at $50 o'clock, by the Rev.
T. III. B. Anderson, Mr.. CHAs. p. RAY
MoND of Austin, and Miss PILLOW A. HAIR
RIs, of Bolton.
1t Is very proper that the STATESMAN
extend hearty congratulation to this mar
lied couple. Five years ago, when this
paper began to struggle into existence,
Charley, then rafting and sometimes in
discreet youth, was a sort of sine qua non
about the printing office. From that day
until this, with rare exceptions, he has been
attached to this office in one capacity or
another, and during these years he has
grown steady, and now like brave, good
fellow as he is, has settled down into an
earnest manhood. AS the years advance
upon him may his head always remain pill
lowed amid soft places.
MARRIED-At the residence of D. F.
Waddell, Esq on the morning of June 6,
by Rev. E. B. Wright, Mr.. Frank S. Clark
and MISS Buena Vista Carotbers.
The STATESMAN wishes the happy couple
"a full bowl of happiness through long
life, and returns thanks for some nice cake.
MARRIED-On Monday, the fifth inst, by
Rev. Mr.. Swancoat-Mr. Girard Phelps, Of
New Orleans, to MISS Lizzie Gildart, of
this city.
A GENTLEMAN from the frontier says that
Scott Cooley, Ringgold and Others, who
were recently taken out of the Lampasas
Jil, have gone into camp, and that they de-
fly the law and the authorities, and that
there is no protection for life and property
in many places up-country. He says that
some men who have no visible means of
support, and are suspected OF being horse
thieves, assert that the business don't pay
now very well, as horses only command
from twenty to thirty dollars in Austin aud
other places, and that that does not pay for
the trouble of getting them and taking
them to market. 1t Is currently reported
that the whole country is filled with armed
men - these snake-hatted, goat skin-leg-
gined chaps - who are the terror to travel
ers and law-abiding citizens. Perhaps the
Governor will yet find it necessary to issue
proclamation authorizing all good citi-
zens to shoot down all VIGOROUSLY bad char
acters, and to offer rewards for their scalps.
The people are crying aloud for protection,
law and order, and they should have it,
even If extraordinary measures have to be
resorted to. Never has so much lawless-
ness been experienced in Texas.
