AUSTIN, October GA gentleman from
the north who for years has been engaged
in the construction of water works, accom-
panied the governor and Senator Ter
reli last evening 10 Barton creek, ana after
careful examination stated that the ma
chinery and pipe, with capacity to supply
the capitol, land office and the asylum with
water from Barton's creek for all purposes
could be had for $4,000. Twenty thous-
and dollars were appropriated by the
last legislature to supply water to the luna
tic asylum, and it is said the board will
postpone action until the extra session of
the legislature in the hope that the thirty
thousand dollars TO connect all the govern
ment buildings with a perfect systom Of
water works will be appropriated. The
deaf and dumb and lunatic asylums are
now dependent on clsterns and wells, and
as pure and cold water is an
absolute necessity at these institutions the
adoption of this movement would abun-
dainty meet this want, as the water of Bar
toms creek is considered the pureet and
coolest in Texas.

thousands of nervous, debilitated, head
aching mortals to lives of usefulness and
the full enjoyment of robust health. If
you ere weak, nervous and debilitated, or

lent medicine. You will find it perfect
panacea for all your troubles. In few
weeks time your shattered nervous system
will be restored to a natural and healthful
condition, all symptoms of dyspepsia and
indigestion disappearing, and the POSSIBLE
ity of paralysis, apople1y, and other disor-
ders that lead to sudden death, will be re-
moved forever. This meritorious COM
pound is preparation of Iron and essential
vegetable tonics. 1t is the only preparation
of Iron that does not give headache or
blacken the teeth. 1t is called BRowN's
IRON BITTERs. Demand it of your drug
gist, and take no substitute. 1t will give
the greatest satisfaction, for its effects are
lasting. and not temporary, as is the case
with alcoholic preparations. Browns Iron

Base Ball.

Base Ball.
The "Condons Z" base ball club, of this
city, have received communication from
the secretary of the ''Blevins" of Rogers
vile, stating that they cannot play the
second game in this city next Saturday, nor
on any other date, giving various reasons,
among others that their members are some
going to school, and can't get off from theiI
parents, while others live too far in the
country, They lay emphatic claims to the
championship, and demand its concession
by our boys. ~
On the other hand, our boys have per-
fectel all arrangements for the game
which could not be done last Saturday, the
first day named for the game. They gave
the Rogersville boys due notification of the
fact, however. Our boys claim it is a fai,
and square backdown on the par
of the Rogersville boys, and just as en-
phatically refuse to concede the champion
ship, till it is played for. So there we have
it. Next.
In the mean time, our boys are arranging
for game next Saturday with picked
nine from the University boys

CLERICAL CROOKEDNESss

Exposure of Wolf in Sleeps Clothing.
A letter from James T. Justus, at Spring
House, Granger county. Tenn, tells of the
disgraceful conduct of one Rev. % j. NJ.
Carter. who has been popular minister in
the Baptist Church, and one of decided pull
Dit ability He is fluent talker and has
met with considerable success in the minis
istry But few weeks ago his devilish
lusts got the better of him. He went to the
residence of his friend, Jefferson Chusher,
and finding Mrs. Chusher alone, he made
indecent proposals, unworthy of a gentle
man, much less Christian minister.
Not satisfied with mere words, he dis
played his british passions by laying hands
on the person of Mrs. Chusher and went so
far in the attempt to crafty his hellish lusts
that he was arrested and tried before
Justices Mckinney, Mitchell and Whitlock,
on the charge of an assault with the intent
to commit rape. He got out of it by the
admission of the outraged party, that he told
her he would not force her.
Our informant says that Carter does not
deny his evil intentions, although he
admits that the character of the
lady is above suspicion. We
learn that this is not the first
time that this hypocritical pretender has
had charges of this kind made against him.
Our informant says that some good people
in the neighborhood of Roseberry, in this
county, closed their doors against him some
four years ago He has also met with OPP
position at Maynardville because the people
had no confidence in him There are vari-
GUS stories of his crookedness in circulation
which ought, if 1.-THE of them are true,
damn him in the estimation of all good
people.
This lecherous rascal has a wife and fam
lily we learn. If these reports, which seem
authenticated beyond doubt be true, he
ought to be exposed, SO that it will be i'm
possible in the future for him to impose on
decent people

kicked by mule. The doctor found the

fording temporary relief The doctor re-
ports the condition of the patient neces-
sarily precarious, yet he may do well and
recover, it cannot be known what the re-
suit will be.
The following note was received yester-
day by Hon. w. B. Staley, in reference to
the case

fractured. DR.. Boyd and others took out
last night six pieces of bone. He has all the

bone is entirely gone is about two inches
long and one inch wide. His condition is
exceedingly critical, with the chances largely
against him, of course"
