COST OF THE CAPITOL.
NO DANGER OF GoUGING IN BUILDING
THE NEW STATE HOUSE.

Various rumors having obtained circu-
lation respecting the prospective cost Of
the new capitol, upon examining we
learn that exact figures on material and
work for the entire structure, complete,
are estimated by the architect to be
S1,432, $40. The amounts named In eK-
cess of this sum include the aggregate OF
incidental expenses and profit, as arbl-
trarily assumed as proper in a work OF
this magnitude. This official estimate of
the architect. whether exact or not, will
relieve all apprehension as to the COM
missioners or capitol board entertaining
designs in excess of the constitutional
limit ofcost The highest aggregate, with
all the incidentals added, is 81, ,73S. .952.
Unofficial information Is in our posses
sion, 10 the effect that offers In cash have
been made for the land amounting to
considerably more that the above figures.

MORE ABOUT THE MURDER
VERDICT OF THE CoRoNER'S JURY,
AND GLIMPSE AT THE CAUSE
OF THE KILLING.

A reporter of the STATESMAN yester-
day undertook to gather additional facts
concerning the murder of Joseph G..
Faris, mention of which crime was made
in yesterdays issue. 1t appears that be-
fore leaving town, Turner called at
Clouds stable and remarked as he was
about to mount his horse, that he dis
liked to ride home alone, and asked the
liverymen If they knew OF any one going
in the direction of his neighborhood.
Mr.. Cloud told him that Mr.. Faris and
Mr.. Heep were going his way.
Turner said that he had no objection
to riding with Mr.. Heep; that he was a
good man and had told the truth, but
that
FARIs HAD SWORN TO LIE,
and he wouldn't ride with him. This as
| sertion is supposed TO apply to some law
| suit that had previously existed between
| the parties. l .. F-...
Turner is married man. Faris'
mother, and other relatives, the re-
| reporter was told, live in this county.
He was residing with Mr.. Heep.
At a late hour last night Turner
had not been arrested. A large posse,
citizens of the Manchaca neighborhood,
are securing the country for him. IL is
stated that loud talk of lynching is freely
| INDUCED In, as the people are very in
/ dignant at what they conceive to be a
| cold-blooded murder. Following is the
verdict of the cOroner's jury, as returned
TO Justice Gregg yesterday:
VERDICT. 'i
We, the jury of inquest. find that Jo-
seph Green Faris came to his death from
pistol shot, on the Austin and San An
tonic road. in Travis county, state OF
Texas, on the 10th day of November, A.
| ID. 1881, the said pistol being held in the
hand of one w. NJ. Turner, aud that said
shooting was wholly unjustifabe.

OF BALTIMORE.
Tho Officers and References are gentlemen
of well known business and T. OCCASIONAL
standing, and reputation.
THE OBJECT OF THE ASSOCIATION IS
LIST. To secure to its members or their heirs
sum of Money at IL time when 1T is
most needed.
I'd. To insure such benefits at the lowest
RELIABILITY.
The Principles on which the Society is
founded are as old AS history; the funds are
held by the members themselves, until need
ed to pay dues and benefits.
MEMBERSHIP.
ANY person Male on Fenlule in good health
between the ages of 20 and 60 may become
| members of the Association.
PRACTICAL WORKING.
! The members agree to pay annual dues, (for
current expenses and assessments, as rated,
until such assessments shall exceed the
amount required to pay certificate in full;
| when they will be assessed only such pro-
rate proportion as may be necessary to make
up the sum needed. to pay a Certificate; all
| the members Will be assessed. as rated in the
| Tables, and cannot be assessed for more.
EXAMPLE.
| Take our assessment on certificate ofSl250;
all who hold Certificates for that amount
| will be assessed as rated according to their
| ages. AS for instance, persons iron 10 to 49,
would be assessed one dollar. Certificates OF
| $500 would be assessed tO meet q loss OF
| 81 .250-% the amount as rated: and Certlf-
Gates for 5000, "a their rated assessment
thus the plan is purely Mutual and strictly
| Equitable.
PERMANENT DISABILITY.
| In case member should become perma-
nently disabled, Gftu per cent. of the value OF
ahd fifty per cent more at Maturity of years;
| or to their heirs at death. This is manifestly
| a most benevolent and desirable provision.
MATURITY OF YEARS.
| Members who live to their years of Expect
| ancy, will be paid. in their, life time. the
| amount of their certificate told age in a ma
| jority OF cases, is a time of most need.)
EXAMPLE.
| Take person of 40 years of age, at the time
of joining. Their expectation of life, as per
the Carlisle Tabbles, is q years. Should such
person live to be 81 years of age, he or she
would then receive, IN cash lin their lfetime.)
the amount of their certificate.
SPECIAL FEATURES.
The permanent disability provision and the
payment to living members, OF Matured Ger
tihcates, render membership, in this assocla-
I tion more desirable than in Societies. that pay
benefits In case OF death only.
WHO ARE SPECIALLY INTERESTED.
! Every member has a personal interest in
| the growth and welfare of the society and
should be active in inducing Others to become
members, as the larger the membership, the
| less will be assessments, and the greater the
the value of the certificates.
