Impressions of Austin.

The correspondent of the Houston Post
says Austin Is without doubt in the worst
sanitary condition of the many of the
many dirty places in Texas" Hegoes on
to say: "Situated, as il is, on hills over
looking the valley of the Colorado river,
it has opportunities for the best possible
natural drainage, and this, together with
the water works, by which the cutters
may at any time be flushed, should serve
to keep Austin rs clean as ball room
floor. l say this could and should be the
case, but such il is not. Such is the etflu-
via rising from the concentrated filth and
barroom slOps in the cutters of side
streets, and in low or fiat places, that the
pedestrian in those neighborhoOds invOl-
unfairly clutches his nose with one hand,
tuoks down his head as though lodging
some sort of dangerous missile, and quick
ening his pace rushes for point where
he can resume natural position and gait
and breathes in the clearer air with a
sound like an overworked horse, with a Sc
we're case ofepozootic. The sanitary condi-
ton of Austin is bad, and is daily spoken
of by citizens, who wish some one would
clean It up, or try to have it cleaned, but
never man takes the initiation in work
all agree in saying is necessary. and 50
no good may be expected"

Knights OF the Road Get Away with the
sWag
For several months the knights OF the
road have given us \ rest, and In this
neighborhood have committed no depre-
dations. II seems. however, that Thurs
day they determined 10 relieve the mo-
notony, and at the same time relieve some
one Of his cash. About a half an hour
before sun down on the day mentioned,
two men well armed were seen riding
down the Lockhart road In the direction
of that place They approached Mr..
Wade Smiths store, near Onion creek.
and getting down from their horses,
hitehed them and went into the establish
meni.
\ GENTLEMAN
and Mr.. Hart, the clerk, were inside
and had been trading horses, and Hart
was making change when one OF the
strangers drew his siX-shOOter, and aim
ing at him, commanded that he remain
silent and hand over the money Mr..
Hart did Ae. while the-robber cody kept
him under the muzzle ofhis pistol. Dur
ing this time the companion of the robber
was serenely going through the money
drawers. rIfling them of their contents.
They succeeded,in getting about sixty dol
lars, and mounting their horses rode of
in the direction of Lockhart. About
fourteen miles from town and three from
the robbed store, they met Mr.. Lee SlOss
and compelled him to give up thirty dol
lars. BY this time it was beginning 10
GROW DARK,
and IL was nearing the time for the Lock
hart stage to pass. After relieving Sloss
ofhis cash they proceeded on their way,
and in few minutes saw the stage ap-
preaching. They had out their siX-shoot-
ers and evidently intended to rob it,
but just then the sound of horses feet
were heard approaching at rapid gait
fnOm the direction of their late robberies.
They concluded it would not be safe 10
stop long enough to do any more robbing,
and commenced riding off at breakneck
speed. As they passed the stage one Of
them spoke to the driver and said. You
hauled me irOned over the road once, but
I'm free now" The driver thinks he is
man who was conyictedin Lampasas some
time ago and who, in company with the
sheriff of Lampasas county. rode in the
coach he was driving from LampasaS TO
Georgetown, on his way to Huntsville.
As soon as the robbery at the store oc-
CURED and the knights OF the road had
left, Mr.. Hart gave the alarm, and he and
three or four of the neighbors set out after
them, and it was the sound oftheir horses
feet that alarmed the robbers and pre-
vented the stage from being robbed.
Bishop Gregg and Mr.. Anderson were
the only passengers on the stage at the
time

The Schoenert Inquest.

Wednesday Judge Friedrich held an in
quest over the body of Mrs. Augusta 7.
Schoenert, the woman who died sudden
" over on Robertson Hill Tuesday night.
Only two witnesses were examined. Mr..
Schoenert testified as follows: 81 came
home about o'clock, and my wife started
after bucket of water. My little girl
/ wanted to go with her and cried. told
her to hush or would whip her. She
then cried louder, and my wife came run
ming back, and just AZ she reached the
gate leading into the yard she fell dead.
| had been down town, and had taken a
| drink or two " G. Adam sworn testified
as follow: 81 was in the yard adjoining
deceased's residence, and she came in the
yard where / was for bucket of water.
She had a small child with her. We
heard her eldest child crying and calling
for her mother. She ran back to the
gate, and on reaching it fell dead. The
eldest girl was then in the yard near the
gate. 1 saw no one whipping the little
girl" Drs. Mathews and Cummings made
| post mOrtem examination, and made
the following statement: "On the morn
ing of the 25th of August we went to the
house ofthe deceased and found her dead
body. and proceeded 10 open the chest,
and extracting the heart found it to be
affected with what is known as fatty de-
generation, besides some congestion in
the region of the aortic valves. That
from the condition of the heart as found
paralysis of the same was liable TO come
up at any time, and that this is the most
probable cause of her death" The jury
returned the following verdict: "We,
the jury, find that the deceased, Mrs
Augusta It. Schoenert, came to her death
on August "a, 1880, from heart disease
produced by intense excitement. 7. f

TnE wheat crop OF this section has
