The CITY Council.
SPECIAL MEETING-MoNRoE STREET
SEWER EXAMINED.

SPECIAL MEETING-MoNROE STREET
SEWER EXAMINED.
At o'clock Saturday evening. the City
Council proceeded to Front and Monroe
streets to examine the sewer there, and
to decide upon the best plan of prevent
ing any further nuisance arising from
Shipley Run, which passes under the
sewer at this place. The sewer was
found to be in very dirty condition, and
also the one at Second street.
Shipley Run formerly extended from
Second to Front streets, directly along
the line of Monroe street, but when the
street was graded the course of the run
was changed and made to veer to the
east, so as to give room for the street.
This change made the run more trouble
some than ever, and frequent overflows
of the adjoining lot were the result.
In the discussion of the affair, on
Saturday evening, the plan of reliet most
generally favored was to restore the run
to its old course, and convey it under the
bed of Monroe street, from Second to
Front, by means of an arched sewer.
Finally, on motion of Mr.. Townsend,
the subject was referred to the Street
Committee, in conjunction with the Chief
Engineer of the Surveying Department,
with Instructions to report at the next
meeting.
Council then adjourned.

A Foul Outrage.
A LITTLE GIRL BRUTALLY RAPED BY A
MAN.

ohNs
From the Milford Chronicle.
About O'Clock on Thursday afternoon
of last week well dressed man of
medium size, light complexion and red
moustache, stopped at the residence of
Ma thew Goslin, near the j. d. B. X. r..
about mile east of Harrington, and in
quired of Mrs. Goslin whether she knew
OF any one who had timber for sale, and
represented that he was from the city
and down here for the purpose of buying
timber, and also stated that he had
bought Is trees of Eli Galloway. Mr..
Goslin was absent in Milford at the time
and Mrs. G. informed him that she knew
Of no one who had timber for sale, unless
possibly their neighbor, Mr.. Jas. Walker
might have. The stranger then asked
her where Mr.. Walker lived, and also in
quired if there was any little boy around
the house whom lie could hire to show
him the way. Mrs. Goslin said there
was not, but that she could send little
girl who lived with her to direct him.
To this he assented, and, after politely
bidding Mrs. Goslin good-day, set out in
the direction of Mr.. Walkers, accom-
IphiN' " thS iittic Siii, WlloSc lldllle Is
Sallie Cain, and is aged about IL years.
According to this girls statement, after
they had proceeded about half the dis
tance to Mr.. WIS, and while passing
through the woods, the man pointed to
some trees few rods distant from the
path, and remarked that he would like
to examine them more closely, as they
appeared to be about the kind he wanted.
They turned out of the path, and when
a short distance from it, the man assault
ed her, throwing her down and tearing
her clothes into shreds. She essayed to
call for help, but the brute forced her to
desist, threatening to kill her if she made
any noise. Shortly after wagon was
heard approaching in the road near by,
and the man took alarm and fled. The
girl, although much frightened and in
jared, managed to reach home and tell
her story, when the neighbors were noti-
fled, and a thorough search for the mis-
creant instituted, but without success.
Officers are on the lookout for him, and
lie may yet be brought to justice.

ADlsfressing A Affair.
A fouNG MAN KILLED HIS MOTHER

A YOUNG MAN KILLED HIS MOTHER
DIES FROM THE SHOCK.
From The Chestertown (Md.) Kent News.
One OF the most distressing occurrences
IL has ever been our duty TO record haI
penet at Kennedyville, i'm this county, on
ihursJay morning last, it being the acci-
dental shooting and death of George T.
Nelson, ayoung man aged about "a years,
and the terrible shock therefrom causing
The death ofhis mother. The particulars
as near as we can ascer ain them are as
loilows: Young Nelson carried on Jacob
Highley's farm near Kennedyville and
hved with his father and mo her in the
vlllage-the father John Nelson, for
long time past being afflicted with rheu-
matlsm. On the morning stated he was
in the fie d with colored man at work,
when he saw hawk, and remarked that
he would go home and get his gun and
shoot IL the .cClored man afterwards saw
MN with the gun, but did not keep him
IN view directly report was heard, and
looking In the direction nothing was 10 be
seen but the rising smoke from the explo-
sion; still not apprehending the occur
renee OF anything serious, the colored man

furrow before going to see. Then it was
mat the terrible scene presented Itself
The young man laying fiat upon the ground
dead, his gun by his side and fence near
by it is supposed he was shot by the gun
getting caught in some way while climb
ing over the fence, accidentally discharg-
ing 1t the who load passed through his
leit breast, riking the heart and causing
instant death. The dead body was con-
veyed to the parents residence, and then
ens'ied another startling tragedy. The
mother entered the room, looked for a
moment upon the lifeless form of her son
and then turning said she felt sick and
would 60 into another room and lie down;
she did so, and in ten minutes was also
corpse! The sudden shock alone could be
assigned as the cause of her death, as she
had been In usual health. The sad cal
amity causes deepest sympathy and DOM
throughout the neighuorhood.

take the place of Cancelled notes.

HoN. JAMES w. THRoCKMoRToN is
the recipient of encomiums from the
papers of Texas for his patriotism and
statecraft, and quite number, too,
regard him as the proper man for Gov
ernor. While the STATESMAN has not
10 all things agreed politically
with Mr.. Throckmorton it can
at least say of him that he has
been universally regarded as pure
man. He was once elected Governor
of Texas in a period of universal
gloom, when people felt no other de-
sire than to select the best man. His
term was cut short by reconstruction,
which, happily, having passed
away all over the South, would
naturally make US look to him again.
Integrity in high places must be the
watchword of the people, aud it would
not be strange to see grand upheaval
of opinion in favor OF this man, against
whom no breath of suspicion wss raised
as The States chief executive. The
STATKsMAN would be well pleased
to see him once more elevated to the
position from which he was driven
with bayonets that impure gov,
eminent might be established and
maintained. Then again would be
united the conflicting elements
Of Northern and Western Texas
in harmony that would pcrpetually
cement the State, and prepare for it
the proudest place IN the American
Union. What say the people to Throck-
morton for Governor

THE BOSDHOLDERs IN WASH

About thirty savings and other banks
and half as many insurance companies
have recently failed in New York City.
Contraction squeezes the truth as well
as rottenness out of these institutions.
They were fraudulentlJ organized in
the beginning and Sherman's thumb
screw rendering real estate on which
they loaned depositors money, valueless,
they necessarily and rapidly collapse. 1t
is only unfortunate that the rich lose
nothing and the poor everything by
these failures. Stockholders common
ly invested only nominal sums. They
drew out forced dividends, which
cost them nothing, and when the
end comes only a president or two
has failed tn evads merited
ruin. Two or three have been SEPT to
Sing Sing. but the eis- body of those
who conspired to rob the poor have es-
capped with enormous gains wrested
from the toiling poor. They can well
afford to come down to Washington
and urge Congressman to give the
greatest possible value to money and
the least possible to other property.
They are still of the bondholding,
money-lending, creditor class. The
Congressman that listens will be sus
pected of corruption and end his days
in pleasing retirement.

Turks that they had no chance. They
saw that the way out was blocked

der these circumstances q white flag

the fog, could not be seen. Our sol
