The Innocent Pistol.

On yesterday morning the denizens liv-
ing in the neighbOrhood of Mr.. W. b,
Walkers store, near the Houston & Texas
Central freight depot, were startled by
hearing the report of pistol. It came
from small building not far from Mr..
Walkers, and it was soon surrounded by
an eager throng anxious to hear the news.
1t was not long before it was ascertained
that cOlored woman named Lucy Shelly
had been shot in the head by her husband,
Dave Shelley. A STATESMAN reporter
yesterday visited the Jail and learned from
Dave the following story: He says he
has been living on the farm of Mrs. Mat
thews few miles east of this city, and
has worked on her farm and that of Mr.
wife remained in town with her
mother, and on yesterday morning he
came in to prepare to go to the neighbor-
hood of Manor to pick cotton. He
had only a small amount of money
and his partner, another colored man,
suggested that pistol Dave was owner
OF be pawned. He thought the sugges-
ton a good one, and went into the room
where his wife was, and, procuring the
pistol, unloaded it, taking four cartridges
from the chamber He believed, be says,
these were all it contained, and playfully
pointed the pistol at his wife, when it
suddenly
WENT OFF,
the bullet striking her just over the right
eye. He Immediately rushed to her
assistance and held her head unit
the neighbors, attracted by the report of
the pistol, cane into the room. He then
left and proceeded up town in great
haste to procure medical aid and found
DIR. Mathews, and he and the doctor at
once returned to his wife's bedside.
From DR.. Mathews the reporter learned
the following: Dave Shelley, about 8
O'Clock, A. M, summoned the doctor to go
and see his wife, whom he said he had
shot by his pistol going of accidentally.
He was in a great state of excitement
and seemed deeply moved and deplored
the accident. The doctor informed
the reporter that the bullet entered be-
tween the right eye and. brow, passing
upward and making its exit about one
inch from the point of entrance. The
ball in its passage shattered the nasal
bone so that blood flowed freely into the
nose and thence into the mouth, which
caused her to spit out great mouthfuls.
The eye, the doctor thinks, is probably
destroyed, and the frontal bone fractured.
The wound is dangerous, but not neces-
sarIly fatal. The woman, when restored
to consciousness, was asked by the doc
tor If she thought her husband intended
to kill her. She most emphatically an
swered "no," and seemed much dis
tressed at his being arrested and lodged
In jail. She firmly believes in his Inno-
eence. Dave is about twenty-seven
years of age, has rather good face, and
seemed greatly relieved yesterday when
the reporter informed him his wife would
probably get well, He made no attempt
to get away, and from his actions the
shot must have been purely accidental.
He will have hearing to-day.

of the court the entire day. About

and short time after returned verdict

BASTROP.



BAsTRoP, September 12.-The 10
eating corps of the Galveston, Har.
risburg and San Antonio railway
company have completed the loca-
ton OF one line on the road to be
extended from LaGrange to this
place. They will make two more
surveys, after which the chief engin-
eer will examine the three lines and
select the one on which the road
will be built. ALI three of the sur
veys will be OIL the east side of the
Colorado, between the river and
the Houston and Texas Central
railroad.
Cotton is coming in rapidly,
and, owing to the good grade, it
commands good prices.
1t is thought the late rains will
tend towards making a good fall
crop. Very little corn has been
raised in this county this year, and
a large majority of our people will
have to depend upon the north for
bread.

Mr.. f. q. Morris.

Mr.. f. g. Morris, one OF Austin's most
effective speakers for the university, re-
turned home from the canvass in west
Texas yesterday. He closed the canvass
by speaking to large audience at San
Saba the night before the election. Judg-
ing from the mention made of his
speeches by the press and citizens, at the
places he visited, he has done much good
work for Austin, and won high honors as
ready and able speaker. In addition to
the press reports, a gentleman who was
present at the discussion ofthe university
question, at Navasota, writing to friend
in this city, said:
az have felt personally great interest
in it. (the university question: and was
pleased night or two ago when ] reach
ed Navasota, after a somewhat tiresome
ride in the heat from some miles from
Wallace Prairie, to find that the question
was to be discussed In 'Navasota by Mr..
Morris and Mr.. Brown. Mr.. Brown had
the advantage in having the sympathy
OF the crowd as against Austin, but be-
fore the close il could be seen that your
young man had made a deep impression,
and though / was a stranger, / soon found
out that the debate stirred up considera-
BILE thought among the people. Both Mr..
Morris and Mr.. Brown spoke well, but
from my point of view / thought Mr..
Morris had decidedly the best of the dis
cussion, and I don't think my judgment
was Influenced by my preference for the
capital. He spoke with much ease, and,
think, showed good reasons why Aus
tin ought to be elected. He Is young,
but sustained himself mighty we'll against
a very good speaker. Your friend.
SHEP. l.. CARTWRIGHT.
Navasota gave Austin good majority
on election day.
The people of Austin certainly owe
Mr.. Morris debt of gratitude for hrs ef-
fective canvass. He suspended personal
canvass at home for the office of city at
torney and spent most of his time, for
more than three weeks, travelling and
speaking in the interest of Austin over
east and west Texas.

A DOWN TOWN MERCHANT.

Having passed several sIeepless nights,
disturbed by the agonies and crles of a
suffering child, and becoming convinced
that Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup was
just the article needed, procured u supply
for the child. On reaching home and ac-
quainting his wife with what he had
done, she refused to have il administered
to the child, as she was strongly in favor
of homeopathy. That night the child
passed In suffering, and the parents with
out sleep. Returning home the day fol-
lowing, the father found the baby still
worse and while contemplating another
sleepless night, the mother stepped from
the room to attend to some domestic du-
ties, and left the father with the child.
During her absence he administered
portion of the Soothing Syrup to the
baby, and said nothing. That night all
hands slept well, and the little fellow
awoke in the morning bright and happy.
The mother was delighted with the sud
den and wonderful change, and although
at first offended at the deception practiced
upon her, has continued to use the Syrup,
and suffering crying babies and restless
nights have disappeared. A single trial
ofthe Syrup never yet failed to relieve
the baby, and overcome the prejudices OF
the mother. Sold by all druggists. %

The free schools opened with very
large attendance, but certain of the popu-
lation entertain very grave doubts about
the election held last Tuesday being
regular. Indeed, il is asserted that in so
far as 1t related 10 levying q tax for the
support and maintenance of free schools,
1t is unconstitutional, the city charter
not authorizing the levy and collection of
such tax. The following is what the
constitution has to say on the subject !:
Article xi. section 10: 'Fhe legislature
may constitute any t'wn or city sepa-
rate aud independent school district.
And, whea the citizens of any city or
town have charter authorizing the city
authorities to levy and collect a tax for
the support and maintenance of public
institution OF learning, such tax may
hereafter be levied and collected, If, ut an
election held for that purpose, two-thirds
OF the taxpayers shall vote for such tax
