Whose Fault is Ii /?

Translated from the Freie Presse, April 29th
The assault of the city engineer on the edi-
tor of the EVENING LIGHT, James p New
fortunately happens too often, and that cannot
be to strongly condemned and should be fol-
lowed up with the most energetic punishment.
We have paid close attention to the Contro-
verSy between the EVENING LIGHT and the
SAID engineer and have found nothing in the
SAID paper that reflects on the character of the
engineer. What Newcomb said had reference
TO the office, but not to the official, even had
It concerned the person holding the Office,
then, in that case, it is one of the most sacred
rights of the people and the press to criticize
the acts of such officials and this right should
be kept inviolate with the greatest vigor.
But when a justice, or law court, permits an
affair, like the one between Smith and New
comb and slences the same with FIVE dollar
fine, then we cannot call it anything else but
| to throw open the gates to utter lawlessness.
Ii the account in the EVENING LIGHT in re-
gard to the occurrence in front Of Smiths res
ldence is correct then where is the excuse of
the Engineer for his conduct an Invitation to
friendly conversation which is followed, with
out any provocation on the part of the invited,
ny d Flolent assault Oh Tie same, Is new Ill inc
history OF conventional politeness.
We are of opinion that our executive and
judicial officials are directly responsible for
the repeated assaults of his and similar kinds.
BY one glance at the fines imposed by our
| courts of justice high and low against viola
| tons of law of the above kind it is at once
perceptibe that the evil is not checked by
those means. The paltry sum of five dol
lars will not keep any one from obtaining
satisfaction from imaginable wrongs and often
SEES, and we will live to see the day that the
nonchalance of our officials will lead to serious
| conflicts.
However, it is the duty of the city author-
| ties to take the Smith Newcomb affair into
their hands. 1t would be, in view of this case,
appropriate if the buldozing OF the people and
press would he made a rule of order on the
part of our city officials.

Murder of an Unknown.

We alluded upon Saturday to the finding
of dead body on the Salado, and we have
now to report that Justice Anton Adam held
an inquest upon the body. The deceased,
who is not known was apparently about forty
years Of age, stature, and evidently cripple
He was found under a blackberry tree. and
was dry, and decomposed to such degree as
to be unrecognisible, and the appearances in
Dictated that he had been dead for nearly a
month. His skull was battered on the left
side evidently by stick or some blunt instru-
ment, and piece Of the skull, about three or
four inches in length was missing. There
were also indications of fracture on the right
side, and the neck was broken. He was but
very scantily dressed and the appearance Of
the corpse was indeed "a thing to shudder at
not to see. There is no doubt that
the man was murdered, and not on the
spot where he was found "a greater
part OF his clothes are missing. There is no
trace of violence at the place where the corpse
was found, and the body exhibited undoubted
signs Of rope having been used to move it.
This coincdental evidence leads to the con-
clusion that after the murder was committed
the body has been dragged to the spot on
which it was found to prevent detection Of the
crime.
The only witness called was the boy who
found the body, and all the evidence he could
give was that he found the corpse while hunt
ing his cows.
The Jury returned a verdict in accordance
with the facts, and burial of the remains was
authorized.

san Antonio has the Best Material In the
World at its Command.

MIR. Walter Scott, gentleman of great
practical experience in road building, and a
tlrst-class mechanic besides, recently made a
visit to Canada and the northwest cities Of the
Union, and while abroad made the subject of
street building his particular business. He
interviewed men in different cities in charge
of public works, and got fresh from them
their ideas and experience. Mr.. Scott has re-
turned home determined to 60 into the wood
paving business, and we have secured from
him the following dots:
Reporter-Mr. Scott, what city did you find
best paved during your recent visit?
Mr.. Sco,t-Detroit and Toronto, Canada
R.-How are they paved?
Mr.. S.-The last and accepted pavement
is what is known as the round block wood
pavement, the Nicholson being abandoned
entirely now. Cedar is now used it being
the most durable wood they have. Toronto
has copied its pavements from Detroit, which
latter city, laid 70 miles of cedar pavemen,
last year, and only six miles of stone pave
ment. The cedar round block pavement has
entirely superseded stone blocks and cobble
stones, although such material is in abund.
| ance there. Detroit is free from dust and
mud, and one of the cleanest cities on the
continent.
R.-Mr. S. what would you suggest for oul
| streets, cedar or mesquite?
Mr.. S.-Mesquite, the best wood for block
pavements in the world, as it can be worked
green, and its contraction and expansion is
less than any wood known; and its durability
places it alongside of the best stone block
pavement, while it will make a street far bet
ter for the travel of animals and the wear OF
vehicles. As a gentleman of wide experience
in Detroit, Mr.. Starkie, states, the mesquite
will make the pavement Of the 10TH century.
R.-Mr. S. are the wood pavements now
being laid in Detroit and other cities, laid
under patent?
Mr.. S.-No, it would be impossible for a
patent to be had upon round block, and be,
sides the city of Detroit protects its contrac-
tors from all interference from patentees.
R.-Iiow about the cost OF these pavements!
Mr.. S.-1'hey will cost something more than
macadam but will be cheaper in the long run
These wood block streets can be guaranteed
to last ten years, and will last twenty. They
can be taken up and put down with less in
convenience and cost than any other kind OF
pavement and kept clean at nominal cost,
entirely doing away with the kind of work
which is daily carried on in our city upon the
gravel Streets and better than all, these streets
are preferable in point of sanitary regulation
to any description Of macadam.
Nj. Scott is enthusiastic over the fact thai
our city can be so spenddly paved at a cos
less than in cities he has visited, and wher
paved would be the envy Of union.

The Pail Mall Gozette eovs. "Tbo

The Pail Mall Gazette says; "The pro.
pOsal of Sir William Armstrong to make
guupowder without sulphur may seem
at first rather startling. All the world over
gunpowder is and has always been made
of three ingredients -saltpetre, sulphur
and charcoal, and it seems rash to at.
tempt to do without any of them. But
experiments were made a good many
years ago with sulphurless powder, and
the result astonished the experimenters.
The old 'eprouvette mortar, which was
then used to prove the quality Of pow
der, gave as good results with the non
sulphur powder as with the ordinary
kind. But the manufacture of gunpow-
der was at that time in a crude and un
scientific state. There were no such
tests for density and so on as now pre-
vail, so the experimenters made their
non-sulphur powder too light, and aban.
doned the pursuit, thinking that it was
in its nature porous and weak in texture.
The subject comes up again under con-
ditions, both of manufacture and of tests
for various qualities We understand
that powder lately made without sulphur
has given very good results in guns, and
the subject seems worth pursuing"

FOUR LAND KINGS.
An Area Larger than Connections
sold TO Pay for Ihe New Texas
State House.

CHICAGO, February 13.-The immense
tract of land set aside by the State of Texas
to pay for the erection of the new State
House, has been transferred by the State
during the past two days to Abner Taylor,
Hon. e. B Farwell and John K. Farwell, of
Chicago, and A. c. Babcock, of Canton, Ill,
who will furnish the necessary funds for the
erection of the building.
This domain is larger than the State of
Connecticut and five times larger than
Rhode Island. 1t is the northwest corner of
the State, and the survey extends south 1877
miles, with an average width of % miles.
Two railways are already projected through
this section of the State. The transfer of
these lands is probably the largest sale ever
made to private individuals, and the pur-
chasers are the largest land owners in the
world.
