y SOME young men with destructive pro-
pensities, are running the shade trees set
around the north side Park, by barking
them with knives. The persons guilty
of this dastardly deed haven't principle
enough to be entitled to the name of
boys. They are sneaking towards and
each should be ashamed that his COM
panions know him to be capable of such
contemplate deeds.

five per cent. is large interest now.

HEALTH OF THE CITY.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I give you brief sum
mary Of the Second Ward, referring to
the same dlseas0s as l quoted in the
First Ward yesterday. The Second
Ward has population of 2l6, and
during the past year there were 107
deaths from various diseases Those
demanding atten Ion are as follows:-
Cholera infantum, IL; consumption, IL;
dphtheria, !; maD braneous Group, 8;
pnsnmon:a, 2; scarlet fever, 8; typhoid
isver, none. Lraving out consumption
thore were 70 deaths for which, no dou bt,
good aud sufficient reason san be
given, why they occurred AID proved
fatal. Let US look at the situation of
the Second Ward. II is nearly fat and
most OF the soil Is heavy clay. 1t be-
gins At Third and Market streets, and
extends south over tho ChrisLiana river
To The city line 1t embraces all south
OF Third street, continuing over Third
street bridge taking in all the land within
the city limits. The drainage from
sSorm water is very bad, as the water
passes away from the streets very slowly
and, duitDg q high north east wind, the
high tide intorferes with the drainage in
that portion bordering on the Chrisliana
south, leaving much uirt anu vegetable
matter washed down from the north
eastern part of the city. The streets
have not sufficient fall to enable the
storm water ~ force this refuse matter
into the CbIistiana. Hence It lodges
along the streets and becomes ammo, ing
to tue residents. These residents pay as
much tax In proportion to the assessed
valuation of their property, as their
eighbors in the Third Ward, who are
Sit uated 30 high they have none of these
annoyances TO complain Of. Another
place worthy of notice is the open SO w.
a WhiAh al h.Ahi mn n hO,
on Poplar street. the Asbury Cemetery
forming the north west bank. This
sewer at times becomes very 1ltby from
the refuse matter washed down from the
slaughter house on Fifth street below
Walnut, and cess poels built oyer it.. l..
should oe arched over its whole length
Another detriment to the ward
worthy OF notice is, very large part Of
tho various vegetables sold here are re i.
3eived in this ward, making very much
foreign dirt; also the ward is a deposi-
tory tor Thousands of bushels of oyster
shelt, whioh are very offensive to the
smell for many days; also at the lower
end OF Robinson street there are a num-
ber OF houses so situated rs to be breed
ers of all diseases. The tide at times
rises NO high as to run under the houses
washing all the fil;h from pig pens and
cesspools under them, and into the back
yards. When tho tide is down or low,
the dampnsss is so great as to make one
shudder. Under the difficulties the old
Second has To coltend with her people
make a good showing III health matters.
Lst--Those who are Responsible for re-
moving the garbage, ashes and cleaning
cesspools do their duty, ami the death
rate of the Second Ward will de-
rease. 1 viii pay attention to the
Third Ward next. K. B. FRAZER.

AMONG THE PHILISTINES.
A GERMAN SAYS HE rs ROBBED OF A
SUM OF MONEY, wATsH AKD CHAIN.

A 6EhAAN bA15 Ah Az hO6bbO O1 a
SUM OF MONEY, WATCH AED CHAIN.
About 10 o'clock last night, a short
thick SET German walked into the police
Office and through his imperfect dialect
made the officers understand that he had
been robbed of sum of money, a silver
watch and hair chain.
As he could not give the name of the
person whom he suspected or where they
resided, one OF tho officers accompanied
him to where he thought the robbery had
been committed. He proceeded at once
to the house of il.fame kept by Hannah
Brown No. 107 Il. Water street. Upon
entering the house he pointed out one
of the inmates named Rebecca Deering
as the one he thought had stolen his pro-
perty. The woman was at once arrested
and locked up.
This morning she was given hear
ing before the Mayor. Tho plaintiff
gave his name as George Sllenicken,
and as he could not understand Eng
lish Officer Richards acted az interpre-
ter. When he had repeated the usual
oath to the witness he refused TO kiss
the Bible, and when asked why he
would not perform that ceremony, he
said that il was a Catholic Bible be-
cause it had paper cross pasted on
the outside cover. He was finally pre-
vailed upon to kiss the book and then
he stated that he went into the house
named above, and after staying there
some time be left and then found that
he had been robbed of $3.50, silver
watch and hair chain. He had been
with no ono else except the defendant.
Robert Wright was called for the de-
fense, aud stated i'll his testimony that
he saw the plaintiff in the house, and
thai he had his watch at O'Clock. He
did not see any one 60 out with the
man, and he did not say anything
about being robbed.
Jennie Meyers, an inmate Of the
house, said the man remained in the
house from about ] o'clock until near
7 In the evening. He became intoxi
GATED and wanted to whip two or three
of the women inma.ss. He took his
watch of and put it in one of his pants
pockets. He took it out Of his pocket
several times and t1ourished it saying
no one could steal it from him. FL
nally two men took him out of the
house, and that was the last seen of
him until he re urned with The officers.
Geo. Howard testified that about 7
o'clock, as he was walking along Water
street, between King and French
streets, he noticed the plaintiff stand
ing talking to two men. He noticed
that the man could not speak English.
Going up to him he asked him in Ger.
nan what was the matter, and then he
answered that he had beeu robbed OF
$l07, then he said $50 and finally came
down to $40. He had his watch and
chain at the time.
The Mayor could not see any evil
denee to hold the accused and the case
was dismissed.

The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1881-08-25

Mr.. DUDLEY G. WooTEN is doing
good work for Austin in this uni
versity race, and in the debate the
other day at Sherman rather got
the best of Col. Herring, Of Waco.
The truth is, Col. III. started out in
the canvass with a proposition that
he nor no other speaker can main
tain-that the fathers did not
intend the university to be located
at Austin. Col. Herring is a man
of fine talent, no doubt, but he plac-
ed entirely too much reliance upon
his powers as a special pleader
when he agreed to attempt the task
of controverting well-known and
long-established historical fact. AT
any rate, he has made q signal fail
ure in his role of special interpre-
ter of the will and intentions of the
founders of the republic. The
colonel should visit the seaside; be
needs more salt in his system.
