Wood Paving.

Apropos of the paving of Commerce
Street with wood we are reminded that some
years ago. when the question of paving St.
Paurs church yard with wood arose, the dean
and chapter of that cathedral were in guam
dairy as to procuring the wood. Sydney Smith
said that the reverend gentlemen had only to
lay their heads together and the thing would
soon be done, implying that there was enough
timber in the clerical heads for that purpose:
We hope that the amended council will not be
of the same class.

An Incid emit of New Braunfels Life.

The Hon. Geo. Pfeuffer is leading mer-
chant in the adjacent city Of New Braunfels,
and claims for that city metropolitan character
istics, but stranger who happened to spend
night in that city of manufacturing prospects
relates an incident that happened while he
was guest at Schmidt's hotel, that reminds
us of the simplicity of Texan frontier village.
A suspicious character came into Schmidt S
hotel and stood at the bar; this suspicious
character claimed to be U. S. deputy mar
shall, the police officers of the city
of New Braunfels were gathered
in the bar room discussing the cues
ton of arresting the suspicious character
when he came in; one of the peace officers
stepped up to the suspicious character and
asked him if he was armed; the S. C. smiled,
as he stepped back, and drew six-shooter
! and fired shot at Grandom, in the bar-room.
Our informant says that in an instant he was
left alone with desperate shootist-the police
of New Braunfels had disappeared. The
shootist then deliberately attempted to walk
across the public square, but got stuck
in the mud and fell down, and
| some time after our informant heard
more shots, and looking out discovered that i,
was the vigilant peace officers of New Braun
fels shooting in the direction of the retreating
desperate, who had pulled himself out of the
mud and disappeared. Then the Schmidt
hotel became scene OF revelry by night, and
our informant declares that the entire popula-
tion-prominent citizsns-got on a spree.
The U. S. marshal is still at large.

pavement and its muddy surface caused him TO
fall, and as result of the fall the cap OF his
knee was broken. DR.. Hadra is in attend

CHICAGO LITIGATION.
The Board of Trade Cause.-The Lease of
the Grand Opera House.

The Board of Trade Cases The Lease of
the Grand Opera House.
CHICAGO, Oct. "a decree was entered
in the board of trade cases to-day, each Of
the twenty two plaintiffs agreeing to abide,
by the decision of the courts of law in the
A. M. Wright case. Appeal was taken
from the decision throwing the case
out of court for want of equity.
In the Hamlin-Davis suit for possession
of the lease to the Grand Opera house
Judge Tuley ordered decree which pro-
vides that Hamlin is the equitable owner
of the lease granted to Davis by Barden,
the owner. That Hamlin must execute
a bond to Davis of $4,000 to secure a
faithful performance of the terms of the
lease. If the bond is rendered Davis be-
fore the Oath, Davis shall deliver the lease
within ten days. Until then Davis is en-
joined from assigning the lease. Barden
is enjoined from transferring the lease ex-
cept to Hamlin. Davis cross bill is dis
missed for want of equity, and he is as
sessed the cost. An appeal to the appel
late court was allowed under bond. The
case has so far been uniformly in favor of
Hamlin, who will, it is believed, retain
possession of the Grand Opera house for
the next ten years.

Wool GATHERING.

The Traiff Commission Listens to the Griev-
ances of the Wool Producers.
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 9.-The tariff commits
sion met here this morning in the parlor
of the Monongahala house. The first wit
ness before it was John w. Stockdale, edi-
tor Of the Wool Grocer and Farmer, who
was one of a committee appointed by the
wool growers of Washington county, Pa,
to bring the wool question to the attention
of the commission. He spoke of the So
icitude with which the farmers of Wash
commission, and would await its report.
Washington county, he said, produced
more wool on the same extent of territory
than any other part of the United States.
1t was the pioneer in the production of
wool in this country, particularly of the
finer qualities of wool. To overturn or to
depress that interest now would
be almost equal to pub
lie calamity. The prices of wool at
present were insufficient to justify con-
tinuance of the business, and yet the com
petition for Australia with its cheap land
and its facilities for raising sheep was 80
great as to threaten the destruction of the
wool producing interest in Washington
county. He read a report of the proceed
ings of the wool growers convention of
Washington county, in which it is claimed
that the present duties on wool are wholly
inadequate to afford the protection abso-
lutely necessary; and the suggestion made
that wool which now pays three cents a
pound, shall pay nine cents, and that all
| other wool shall pay fifteen cents a pound
| and 20per cent. ad valorem. He said that
| there was capital of $3,0O0,000 invested
in sheep in that county; that there were
about 100000 sheep there; that the num-
Der had increased 25 per cent. and the
yield per fleece from three to FIVE
pounds since the tariff of 1867 went into
/ operation.
