Austln,s Manufactures.

Few people in Austin are aware of the
fact that the old mill on the river bank
is anything but a dilapidated old ruin
long since deserted and useless. A still
smaller number have the slightest idea of
the magnitude of the operations and in
dustrY carried on within its walls and on
the adjoining river bank. A visit to the
premises discloses that il is used by Mr..
Chas. Jones, the proprietor of the Colo
RADIO foundry and machine shops. On
the river bank, just outside the building,
is large furnace for melting iron and
near it and in some of the rooms of the
building are the moulding rooms.
Mr. Jones has for years been quietly
and persistently contributing to the con-
venience OF our city and country in the
manufacture of all kinds of castings for
the different public works and in sup
plying our farmers and machinists with
parts and repairs for reapers, mowers,
gins, etc. Several hands are employed
constantly. He is now engaged in cast
ing the iron columns for the Hancock
building. They are tluted Corinthian
columns eight inches in diameter at the
base and sixteen feet long. He has six
teen or eighteen of them on hand in the
finishing room and they are fine sPeci-
mems of casting. The reporter was also
shown a large quantity of castings of
various kinds for other buildings now in
course of construction both here and in
distant parts of the state.
One of the rooms in the old mill is de-
voted to patterns of all kinds and descrip-
tons, valued at many thousands of dol
lars. The reporter was shown patterns
for stairs and steps for the courthouse at
Corsicana, aud for the Baptist church at
Waco, among others He seems to be
well pa;ronized by the architects and
builders Of Austin and other places in
the state.
Il Mr.. Jones has the contract from the
state for furnishing each county with
standards of weights, some of brass and
some of iron. The brass castings were
us fine and perfect as can be seen any
where. An inspection of the pattern
room shows that the Colorado foundry
has played very imp rtant part in the
erection of most all the important works
IN the city, such as the railroad bridge,
the wagon bridge, the new postoffice
building, and many others. He also
supplies all kinds of castings for gins,
mills, and farm machinery, and saves
our people the expense and delay of
sending to the north for such things.

THE INDIANS.
Report of Captain ROss-His Conn
mand Disarmed by MexIcans.


TUCSON, A. T., June 20.-Captain
j. Ross with his command of fifty
rangers, who left here two months
ago, has returned. The rangers
tralled the renegade Apaches two
hundred miles from the..Arizona line
into Chihuahua, Mexico. They
counted two hundred Indians dead,
many of whom were found near the
mountain trail. They had evidently
been wounded in the fight with the
Mexican troops under General Gar
cha, and had fed for safety. The
body of Chief Loco was identified
by one of the party who had known
him intimately for six years.
On the,,ls instant, they fell IN with
the Mexican troops, commanded by
General Reyez, and were arrested
and disarmed, and after few days
ordered to leave the Mexican
territory. General Reyez informed
Captain Ross that inasmuch as he
was an authorized deputy sheriff of
Arizona, the lives of himself and
men would be spared. Ross de-
manded voucher for the arms of his
rangers, which was at first refused,
but afterwards granted. General
Reyez stated that he had sent Col
onel Forsyth formal warning that
any body of armed men found on
Mexican soil would be shot, but that
he would make all exception in this
case. The rangers were compelled
TO return through an Indian cOun-
try. distance of $50 miles, without
single weapon for self defense.
General Reyez admitted that he was
aware that the rangers meant no
harm or trouble to MeXicans,
and were after hostile Indians,
but he declared that it was a viola
ton OF international law, which he
would not tolerate.
Advices from Chihuahua City
state that the Mexican troops had
another fight with Indians in Ence-
niells, in which fifteen Indians we're
killed and twenty were made prison.
ers. Five Mexicans were killed.

ALEX. WAYNE.
The Rape Fiend Gets the Full Exc
tent or the Law.

The grand jury returned two indict-
ments against Alex. Wayne, both for as
sault with intent to commit rape, and
yesterday he was arraigned in the district
court. The first offense charged was
committed on the twenty-second day of
May, at a section house on the Central
railroad, about three miles from Austin,
and consisted of an assault upon Miss
kjerster Stoltenberg, young Swedish
lady. Tho STATESMAN has already given
the particJ lars of this occurrence. The
second cffsnse charged was the assault
upon Mrs. Annie Wallin, young mar
RED lady, of The Decker creek ueighbOr-
hood, on the 30th of May. This has
already been extensively mentioned, and
was the immediate cause of Wayne's
arrest.
A jury was empanneled, consisting of
w. ID. Patton, foreman W. /. c.
Aubrey, G. III. Buechner, Henderson Rol-
Inns, John Hughes, NJ. j. Thompson, w.
r. Robinson, II. Holley, L. Mailman,
John Pegg, Frank Allen and Jake Smith,
aud TO which the fate of the ravisher
was committed.
ID II. Hewlett, Esq, was appointed TO
defend the prisoner, and after consulta.
ton with his client entered a plea of
guilty. Mr. Hewlett, in line of duty,
asked for the prisoner that consideration
which the plea of guilty is supposed to
carry with it. County Attorney Moore
stated that the crime charged was not
only heinous in nature, but in this par
ticular instance OF most aggravated
character. JUDGE Walker then read the
law on the subject, which places the
punishment at not less than two nor
more than seven years confinement, at
hard labor, In the state peniteutiary.
The jury, four of whom were colored
men, ten retired, and in the about fifteen
minutes returned with a verdict assessing
the punishment at seven years, the full
extent of the law. The proceedings in
the second case were virtually the same
as in the first. Judge Walker then pass
ed sentence which, in the two eases,
makes term Of fourteen years, and the
prisoner was remanded to jail to await
the coming Of the agent of the penitenti-
airy.
During the proceedings Wayne sat
with a half smile upon his villianous
countenance, apparently Indifferent as to
the result Of the legal investigation.

The true secret OF happiness is perfect
health, which enables the individual to
enjoy life, and attain competency and
contentment. The martyr to dyspepsia,

realizes that existence yields only failure.
But new era has come, and good health
is assured, with positive relief from the
ills of indigestion and torpid liver, by the
use of DIR. Acker's Dyspepsia Tablets.
