AS THIS is the season when disinfect-
ants are used in this climate, the follow
ing may prove useful: The Poonah o.
ssrcer, paper published in India, states
that recent experiments made in that
country have proved that roasted coffee
is one of the most powerful disinfectants,
not only rendering animal and vegeats-
BILE efiiuvia innoeuous, but actually de-
stroying them. A room in which meat in
an advanced state of decomposition had
been kept for some time was instantly de-
priyed of all smell on an open coffee
rooster being carried through 1t contain
ing pound Of newly roasted coffee. In
another room the effiuvia occasioned by
the clearing out OF = eesspool WAS COM
pletely removed within half a minute by
the use Of three ounces Of fresh coffee.
The way In which coffee is used as dis
infeetant is by drying the raw bean, then
pounding il in a mortar. and afterward
roasting the powder on 4 moderately
heated iron plate until il assumes dark
hue The coffee must, however. be
pure. as Theory possesses no deodorizing
power.

The Preliminary Examination.

Yesterday morning at IL O'Clock Will
liam Williams, the murderer of Robert
Scott. was prepared to be conducted to
Judge Freidrich's court, where he was to
stand his preliminary trial. Before leay-
ing the marshaps Office the SrATEsMAN's
reporter had n short interview with him.
.He said he had been raised in st. Louis
and had been living
IN TEXAS
about five years, the most of the time here
In Austin, employed by Mr. Frank Ham,
ilton. He said he was thirty-fiye years
old, ard had never had difficulty before.
When asked ifhe and Scott had ever had
difficulty he said: "About two weeks

QUITE apart from any consideration as
TO the merits of the innumerable candi-
dates who have presented themselves, an
important work presents itself to the peo-
pie of this city, and especially to its bust
ness men. This important work is none
other than working and putting in first
class order the roads leading into this
city. The necessity for this will be ap-
parent to any one who will take the
trouble to ride out few miles on any
of the roads leading to this city. Nearly
all of them are absolutely impossible
lust at this time even for empty
wagons. Especially is it necessary that
all roads south of the city be looked after
and put in order Immediately. The Fred
ericksburg roadi's almost impossible, and
if it is not worked the trade of Blanco,
Gillespie and other surrounding counties
will certainly be diverted to San Marcos,
which town the International will reach
within the next forty days. If the bust
ness men of the city desire to retain the
trade of the section of country lying
south and southwest, they must see to il
and have the roads put in good order
This is grave question, and its consider
alton will not admit of delay. If you in.
tend doing anything to place the roads in
8 condition for travel, at all times and in
all seasons, now is the time to do 1t. San
Marcos, we learn, is having the roads
leading to that place well worked, and
new ones are being opened in anticipa.
ton of an increase of trade on the arrival
ofthe railroad. Shall the roads be worked
is question of transcendant Importance
and should be passed upon at once What
are you going to do about it?

MR.. MONROE MILLER ahead of the
times, as usual, has introduced into this
section, the new and appropriate word
''Mortuorion," which is rapidly taking
the place of undertaken. The following
explanation of the word is from Prof. G..
NJ. Rhodes:
SIN the poverty of our language, there
is no name or title for one officiating at a
funeral, neither for one vending material
or habiliments for the dead. We, in con-
sideration of the great necessity, deem II
BETTING, and would recommend to the
craft to adopt the Spanish word 'Kortuo-
rio, which by the sufiix of an "a, may be
personated or made to apply to person
or office so the word Hortu0rioE may
represent what some please to call funeral
director and all other appellstions which
ingenuity has invented to bridge this
chasm in our language. When the ex-oSseio
of a funeral is meant by the inquirer, IL
will be preceded by the Interrogation, as.
sWho was the Mortuorion to-day;" and
when material is referred to IL will be
preceded BY the word Sold or sfor sale,
viz: Sold by all progressive Mortuorions,
etc. We trust the free use ofthis term by
the enterprising writers and publishers
viii soon drive the unmeaning and de-
testable word undertaken from every sign
board in the land and become obsolete in
our language, and the more genial and
rotund word Horfs0ri0R be inscribed in
its stead

A SHARP Canine.

The family of CANNES in this city is 4
large and very respectable one. but some
how il has always been an unlueky sort
Of get up, and has had trouble without
end for years. OF course the great Wis
eissitudes and the many trials IL has pass
ed through has taught the more sagacious
members of this highly interesting and
exceedingly numerous family how to take
care of themselves and to eye with sus-
picion anything eatable found lying
around loose. The story Is told that one
of these sagacious CANNES discovered
piece of very fine and sayory sausage on
the street the other day. He was hungry
and expressed his great joy by smelling
of the delicate morsel, tapping out his
tongue and cheerfully wagging his tail.
He looked up and down the street to
see If any other member of the fam
lily was likely to put in an ap-
pearanee and disturb his feast. None
self, but suddenly something seemed to
east a shadow over the spirit ofhis dream,
and he sat down and turning his head to
one side, eyed that sausage for the space
of five minutes with an intensity of feel
ing never excelled. Tears gathered in
his eyes, his ears hung as limp as dish
rags, and altogether he was the most dis
NAL and wobegone canine on the face of
the earth. All at once he Frightened up,
his ears assumed their rigid and proper
condition. he wiped his eyes with
one OF his fore paws and started
down the street at rapid rate.
In few minutes he returned
in company with another dog. He took
his strange companion up to the savory-
looking sausage, and with the most inno-
cent look Imaginable introduced him to
it. The strange dog, evidently country
one, not up to ways that are dark and
things that are peculiar, wagged his tail
and at once gulped down the sausage.
The city dog calmly sat down to watch
the result. In few moments the sau-
sage eater was squirming around in ago
ny and soon fell over dead, while the city
canine wore satisfied air and seemed to
say 81 told you so, you can't fool
me-" and walked of feeling that
poisoned sausage thrown upon the street
was game little ''too thin" for him.

MONDAY night two of the railroad men
sights. At late hour they started home,
one boarding at Lally's, on Colorado
street, and the other at Mrs. Shannahan's,
on Layaca Those who are acquainted
with the localities of the above boarding
houses know that in going from the Ave-
nue. in an easterly direction you reach
Lally's boarding house first. One of the
two men alluded to was to stop here, but
instead of doing so kept on and went
with his companion over TO Mrs. Shan
nahan's. The one boarding here pro-
ceeded quietly to his room and
went to bed, leaving his companion in
the sitting room. On getting up in the
morning he missed siXty-five dollars and
a time check, and suspicioning his CON-
rade of the night before, he informed the
police of the fact. Officer Sublett, Tues
day morning, arrested the man on whom
suspicion rested. He was conducted to
the lookup, and on searching him there
was found twenty cents. He stated he
was a railroad man and had no money
about him. He was kept in custody,
however, and Officer Sublett, on going
down town, learned where he had
deposited sum of money. He
ascertained the amount and went back
to the police station and again searched
the man. This time the check stolen with
the money was found rammed down in
one corner of his vest. Thirty-eight dol
lars and the time check were recovered.
