A STATESMAN reporter boarded the
Georgetown train Sunday morning and
was soon bowling along DER hill and
dale for the above place. At Round
Rock he had 10 change ears, and getting
ont looked In vain for the coach that was
TO carry him TO Georgetown At last his
eye fell upon mixed train standing on a
side track, and going up to it he peeped
into dingy, wOebegon and uncomforta-
BILE looking car, which he was informed
was the Georgetown coach. He entered
IL, and, taking a seat on one OF the hard
wooden benches, tried in vain to imagine
that he was comfortably situated, but
made a most miserable failure, and men,
tally vowed If he was ever caught on
Georgetown train, with its present equip
ment, without some half dozen pillows,
he would will his wealth to some charita-
bic institution, and cut his throat with 4
bar OF soap. Conductor Harrel, one OF
the most urbane and accomplished of
gentlemen, did all in his power to make
passengers comfortable and, with
CHEEKY word and pleasant smile, endeav-
Ored to make them forget their dismal
surroundings.
GEORGETOWN
was reached at last, and the reporter
brushed up, aud getting his blood TO
freely circulate, started out to see
the sights, and passed most
agreeable day, not forgetting, of
course, 10 attend church where he
heard a most excellent sermon and saw
many of Georgetown's fairest daughters.
Monday he visited the principal business
men, among whom are Z. Moses & Co.,
Envy Taylor, j. H. level and c. Dilley
& Co. Every courtesy was shown and he
was informed that Georgetown was now
receiving on an average seyenty-fiye bales
Of cotton daily. Monday, notwithstand-
ing the heavy rains the receipts were
fOrty-two bales and this was owing to the
fact that the business men of the place
have exerted themselves and spent money
to have the roads leading into the town
well worked and kept in good order. The
prevailing price for cotton on Monday
was 949lO4c which is much higher than
prices that have ruled here in Austin.
Georgetown since the advent of the rail-
road has greatly improved and her bust
ness men combine energy, enterprise and
pluck that is destined to place her among
the most important inland towns in the
state. The
SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY
has added a female department and now
has a large number of pupils 1t is
rapidly building up n reputation
under its present management, second to
none in the state, and with a faculty COM
posed of experienced teachers, will rank
among the leading institutions of learn
ing i'm the land. Altogether Georgetown
is fiourishing, her people are prosperous
and happy, and the reporter, barring that
ride in the Round Rock and Georgetown
coach o., had most delightful time, and
he returned home feeling better from
having made the trip. For cOurtesies
shown by all with whom he came in con-
tact, he returns his sincere thanks. IN

Saturday morning, about O'Clock, as
Officer Conley was perambulating his
beat. he saw n man whom he believed to
be armed, and started toward him for the
purpose of effecting HIS arrest. When he
got within FIVE or six feet of the fellow,
he turned and commenced to make tracks
In another direction. The officer followed,
and, after rtfnning some distance, the
manstoppedand fired, the ball passing dis
agreeably close 70 Officer oonley's head.
The officer fired twice, when the man
turned and shot four times In quick sue
cession, but, fortunately, without effect.
AMER firing the shots, the shootist turned
into an alley and succeeded in making
good his escape.

There are very few cities in the United
States where the free and easy variety
show is permitted to run, closing
them up in this city has met with the APP
proval of nine-tenths of the community.
Many country lads will now spend the
money received for their cotton for neces-
sary articles instead of beng scooped in
to the wine rooms and fieeced. 1t is the
young man from the country who suffers
in such places, and he is known among
the professionals as a ''kid," or person
easily slaughtered. He readily bites at
the Stree admission" bait, and once OH
the inside it is not long before he is in
fatuated with pair of saw dust calves
and rubber palpitators, and is soon in a
wine room where the experienced
female manipulation induces him to buy
a number of bottles of wine, for which he
pays four or five prices. He is never left
as long as he has cent, but when his
money gives out the girl gives him the
slip, and he discovers he has been
''scooped." For the sale OF liquors in the
wine room the girl gets large commits
sion, and it is from these sales that the
establishment gets the most of the money
to pay expenses. heprices charged for
drinks and wine in the wine rooms is
enormous, and not one man in hundred,
particularly if he is comfortably drunk,
ever leaves them with a cent.

AN@ENoAn oEcaA SHOW SuFeb NohiihE-
That Barnum's Greatest Show on earth

for Mr.. F. VI. Kelsh. one of his advance
agents, was in town yesterday, with n
corps of bill posters, who have put up n

The following is from the San Antonio
Erpress, and shows that Mrs. Boyce is de-
termined to faithfully follow the fortunes
of her husband: 1.-The readers of the En-
press will remember the delivery of Rube
BOyce, the stage rObber, from the Austin
Jail, by his wife. Without repeating the
story of his escape, and telling of the man.
nef in which il was accomplished, going
on TO the time that BOyce and his brave
wife reached their homein Kimball coun-
ty, another incident, equally as thrilling
as that at Austin, occurred. Mrs. Boyce
had determined TO stick to her husband
She had released him from the cell where
he had been confined by bars of hardened
steel, in the center of the capital city of
the great state of Texas; and in the face
of the armed guards. She loved him, no
matter what crime he had committed,
and sooner than permit him to fall
victim to the penalty of the law,
and be taken forever from her,
she would risk her life to restore him to
liberty She succeeded in her effort, but
then of what avail had her efforts to re-
lease him been, could she not be with
him, To remain in the country where
they had lived was unsafe both for her
and her husband, for the miniOns of the
law would surely learn of his return, and
either recapture him or take his life, and
arrest her for releasing him. There was
but one safe course to follow, and that
was to leave the country. So il was ar
ranged between the man and his wife
that they should leave together, and it is
reported that Immediately upon returning
to their home after the escape from the
Austin jail, the highwayman,a and the brave
partner of his bosom, mounted each 4
horse and rode off together. Mrs. BOyce
is said to have DOTTED her female attire,
drawn on a pair of trousers, buckled a
revolver about her waist, placed mans
hat upon her head, and that thus dis
guised, she followed RUDE, ''for better or
for worse" to some region where he may
probably never be recognized nor known.
There are few women, indeed, who have
the nerve that Mrs. Boyce showed, and
fewer still who would manifest that faith
fulness she did for the man she loved.
Her ventures would serve as the text for
a most thrilling sensational drama or a
novel of absorbing interest that would be
read with amazement by thousands all
over the world"

The Bloody Lash.

ployee of the International Bridge Com
pany succeeded admirably in getting him.
self into thirty-two dollars worth of
trouble. 1t seems that on Monday Mr..
Bassett cursed one of the Office boys aged
about fourteen years, and complaint be-
ing made against him he marched to the
police station and paid fine of 30 and
costs, which so worked upon his mind
that yesterday he cornered the boy in his
office on the Avenue at the corner of Cy-
press street, and taking a large whip I'M
tremendously sailed into and gave him a
most unmerciful whipping. He laid on
the lash with all his strength for several
minutes, the boy begging most piteously
for him to desist. The sound of the
cruel strokes as they fell upon the writh-
ing form of the young lad, were
heard q block of. They left their
marks in the quiyering flesh and excited
the indignation of all who saw them. I'm
mediately after beating the boy Bassett
repaired to the police station, told what
he had done and plead guilty TO assault
ing the boy and paid the usual fine 50 and
costs. He did this knowing no doubt If
complaint was made against him and the
evidence introduced his fine would be a
much larger amount. But this trick
didn't pan out well and TO the great as
constituent and extreme disgust of Bas-
sett he was hauled up before Judge
Friedrich who, after considering the case
fined him S25 and costs. Gentlemen who

passes through few farms that bear evil

from the appearance of the cotton and

of worms, and it is likely that farmers
along the line of the road will
escape their ravages. The town of Kyle

magnificent view of the surrounding
