BAST ROP.
Courts-RePubIIca Convention
Speaking Disappearance-P
ROnal.

Z
BAsTRoP, Oct. IT.-District court con-
vened here yesterday, Hon. L. w. Moore,
judge. The charge OF Judge Moore to the
grand jury was strong and complete,
touching upon all forms of crime.
The Republican county convention
which met here yesterday, endorsed the
following officers, some of whom are
Democrats: For district clerk, G. j.
Maynard; county judge, w. c. Lawhon ;
county attorney, W. E. Maynard; county
clerk, l.. Hellgbradt; sheriff, w. Z. Jen-
kins; county treasurer, John Hearn tax
collector, NJ. Burleson; tax assessor. ID.
Hopkins (; representative, r. A. Kerr,
colored. There is great dissatisfaction
apparently among some of the colored
leaders over the endoi sement for county
clerk, judge and assessor and the calling
of another convention is probable, and if
another convention be not called the
ticket will not be supported by a great
number of Republicans. Mr.. Joe R..
Hodes, of Alum creek, candidate for the
legislature, addressed an audience at the
court house last night.
The Bastrop base ball club left this
morning to contest the championship of
the state with Houston, San Antonio,
Austin and other points, if represented
at the fair. Miss Lilly Sayers,
one of Bastrop's most esteemed aud in
telligent young ladies, left for Huntsville,
Texas, to attend the normal school there.
Mr.. Matthew Duncan, Familiarity known
as old man duncan, aged eighty-six
years, disappeared from his home, six
miles east of Bastrop, ten days ago, and
although diligent search has been kept
up, nothing has yet been heard of him.
He is supposed to be demented, as his
mind is at times affected, caused by ex-
treme old age.

John b Ruhl, q native of Prussia, who
has for nine years occupied the position
of confidential man and general business
manager of Kaufman 81 Runge, was found
dead in q small bathhouse on the beach at
the foot of Avenue L, only few blocks
from where Chas. Nelson was found dead
Sunday. II having become evident that
the accounts of Mr.. Ruhl were behind
with the firm, 1t is understood that the
firm demanded of him full statement of
affairs. Unable to render this, Mr.. Ruiz,
after few minutes delay left the building,
and was not seen alive again. The pro-
prietress of the Cedar Grove says Mr..
Ruhl came to her place, at the foot of
Avenue l., and asked for her. She being
absent, he seemed very restless, walk
ing the floor impatiently until she re-
turned. He had before him a small tum-
bier and half q bottle of beer when she
came up. He told her he was feeling
very badly and asked her to prepare q
room for him. After going to the room
he ordered fresh bottle Of beer. The
proprietress left the room to give some
Instructions, and returning, met Ruhl on
the stairway coming down. Being
aaked the reason Of his departure
he said, Goodbye, am to,
sick to remain and think l will go home"
She noticed his lips contract as he spoke,
and he turned upon his heels and walked
towards the beach. About two hours af-
forwards he was found in bath house,
about 100 yards from the grove, lying upon
his back, his hands upon his breast and
smile upon his lips. Mr.. Ruhl was aper-
feet scholar and had q thorough knowl-
