The LATE SuIcIDE.-After
holding the inquest on the body
Of Thomas E. Owens or Thorn
as on Monday, the county au-
thorities abandoned the corpse.
The commissioners, court allows
only $40 for digging a grave and
furnishing a coffin for a pauper,
and no ore could be found in
the city who would undertake
the Job. Application was made
to the sheriff and magistrate to
have the body buried but they
paid no attention to it. About
q o'clock in the afternoon Mr..
Adolph Testard took up a col
lection ofabout So, which in
duced a colored gentleman to
bury the corpse, the So being in
addition to the amount allowed
by the county.
1t appears FROM the Houston
papers, that Owens had lived
there for some years, but left
under a cloud March 27th, for
BRENNAN. He,- but for his fond
ness for whiskey, could have
done well. He left Houston in
debt and on the sd Of April
wrote to F. R. Lubbock & Son
that be intended suiciding. He
said he was born a gentleman
and had lived in luxury.

The Reason.

Saturday there was quite a
large crowd in town, many OF
them colored. The great diff
Guilty with the masses now is
that there is a great scarcity of
the circulating medium, and
without the circulating medium
but little fun can be had by the
average citizen, be he white or
black. Fun without money is
an unknown quantity. One
cause of the scarcity of money
and in fact nearly the only
cause, is, the almost total failure
of the corn crop last year.
When farmers bring corn to
town and sell it at from so to
40 cents a bushel, SO little mon
ey is realized from it that no
Importance is attached to the
crop; but, when the crop is a
failure and from 6s to S. cents
a bushel in cash has to be paid
for corn its importance is made
painfully manifest; to depleted
pocket book. 1.-THE money that
has beenpaid for corn consumed
in this county could have been
kept at home times would have
been easier, considering the sea-
son of the year. To this cause
alone may be attributed the
small attendance at the volks-
fest and not TO extraneous cir
cumstances.
