SAVED IRA Brennan lady
bought a sewing machine and
paid a part OF the purchase
money; from hard times or
some other cause, she failed to
pay the remainder. Friday the
sewing machine company's
agent went to the lady's house
for the purpose of taking the
machine away; to this proceed
ing she demurred, unless the
the money she had paid on it
was refunded. The agent was
somewhat importunate, when
she exhibited a siX-shooter, and
invited him to "git," he deem
ed it expedient to do so and
"got." The agent, who was
armed with a writ Of sequestra-
ton returned to town andplaced
the writ in the hands of our
handsome constable, Hog Gro
zier who feeling a little unwell
and smelling a mice" turned the
paper over to Will Garrett, a
good-looking deputy sheriff,
and told him to get the machine.

A Deer and a Negro killed.

Col. G. w. Moore, the music
man, who returned yesterday
from the Oleander city, inform
the BANNER that on going down
the Santa Fe road on Monday,
when the train was a little be-
low Arcola, a negro boy, about
10 years old, was run over and
killed. The boy had laid down
between the ties on the track
and went to sleep; he was not
seen until too late to stop the
train, and as it was about pas
sing over him he raised up and
was killed as stated. An in
quest was held and the train men
were exonerated. On Tuesday
morning as the train was pas
sing through Johnson's pasture
seven miles this side of Rosen-
burg herd of deer-many of
which Mr.. Johnson had in his
pasture-were standing beside
the track; as the engine ap-
preached they run away; one
large buck attempted to jump
the track but missing the dis
lance his fore legs were caught
under the rail while his body
rolled over breaking his
legs. The fireman got ashore
and killed him with a hammer.

A New Flute.

An English musician has invented new flute. He asserts that by doubling the last four holes he has improved the tones of the lower notes, while giving increased power, ease and brilIiancy to the instrument gen. orally, and there is nothing more to pay for these Improvements. The material chiefly used by the patentee for the head and body is ebonite, a preparation of In dia rubber, which possesses extraordinary sound producing properties. One of the great difficulties of the flute has always been the third octave, the lingering for which diff fers entirely from that of the first or sec ond octaves and the new flutes are con structed in such manner that the third oc- tave can be easily played with the same fin gering as that employed for the two lower octayea.

The auditors an- nual statement shows, among other things, a reduction in the net debt of the city during the year of $s9, ,249 II, which is much larger than was anticipated. The total debt of the city less cash in the treasury and in the hands of the commissioners of the sinking fund, is $2, 265, ,914.5O, against $2, 355, 163.64 at the same time last year.
