Where are the city police, where is the
street commissioner, and above all, where,
oh where, are the city authorizes? Echo
answers, no where The above questions are
asked with view to the safety OF the general
public, orat least that portion Of the dear
people who may pass along Commerce street
these dark nights in the vicinity of Pancoost's
building, where . deep and dangerous excava.
ton, without any fencing whatever, has been
made-not the slightest safeguard or precau-
ton. save very small lamp, has been taken
by the contractor, who by the way Is one Of
our city IA hers, to prevent accidents occurring
at this place. The lamp above mentioned
sheds dim religious light over the scene,
just enough to SHOW that an apparently un-
fathomable abyss exists there.
Why is not the ordinance relative to the
fencing and lighting of such excavations en-
forced in this instance? Is il because the
contractor is an alderman and thinks that his
high position entities him to override the laws

.sTHE HANCOCK BAIL"

The "Hancock bar'p' is said to have been
rolled into our city and will be opened for use
during the campaign. Now ''barl' is q
very potent agency upon "free'ballot and q
fair count" but "barl's" have different poten-
cies, ''Hancock bar'l," for instance, would
make the democratic voter smile, while an
'independent Davis barp' would make them
laugh out right and 'wool growers bar'P'
would cause "snicker" and the, "Hubbel
bar'P' would raise . snort. But. after all,
''barl's" are potent, but the Hancock bar'l
wont win this time. He may not have wrung
the contents Of his "bar'p' from the treasury
girls. Hancock only wrung tears from that
source while in Washington.) And sixty
thousand dollars of it was secured by pushing
through fraudulent claim before the Mexi-
can commission while a member Of congress
and besides would contain many fee that
wiring the heart of law-wrecked clients. No, the
"Hancock bar'P' won't win, bad luck sticks
to every dollar it contains-spill it out. major,
let it run until it reaches the limits Of the most
distant precinct; it will cause some fun but the
hearts of the people are turned against John
Hancock, his ill-omend vissage is threat to
our fair prosperity-his "bar'r' won't win.

We are all democrats, republicans, green
hackers or independents when it comes to
touching our pockets. We are all alike.
AUsTINITRs have hard luck with the weather
last year their fair was spoiled and this year
it looks as If the fates are against them.
THE Express says, when Hancock gets to
congress they are satisfied he will change his
tariff notions. Yes, we think he will.
THE Independents will cut an important fig
ure in the next House Of Representatives; it
looks as if they will hold the balance of
power.

sidered honest gentlemen, but the bourbon

HANCOCK spoke to slim audience at Aus
tin on Tuesday. The truth is Hancock struck
the tide of public opinion at time when it was
set against him and all his efforts and money
won't save him.
GEN. Robertson arraigned the Democratic
party in his speech at Waco for squander.ng
the public land and failing to establish sys
tenn of public schools. Ireland made prosy
speech and kept his eyes ON the door-but
Coke did not come to disturb him.
THE failure of Senator Coke in his Fort
Worth speech to warmly urge the clsims of
Judge Ireland was doubtless an oversight.

tor favors the election of the distinguished
democratic candidate for governor. Party

The Lutx-O'DonnelI Case.

An enterprising reporter obtained posses
sion of story in the 44utz- 'Donnell case,
which was before the grand jury yesterday,
and detailed 1t to the public last evening. The
story is pothing more than that which has
been in circulation about town for two weeks
or more. The GLOBE reporter at one time
traced 1t. up to that point where
the authenticity or reliability of
the story proved to be decidedly doubtful
and there it was dropped. In some particu-
lars the story is'positively known to be incor.
rect. It asserts that "the woman in the case"
married Lutz in 1878; that her parents then
placed her in convent, when a false notice
of marriage between Lutz and another wo-
man was purposely published. Under mis-
apprehension so superinduced she was then
led into marriage with O'Donnell.
Now the marriage of the woman and O'Don.
nell occurred in 1877, and If 1877 came later in
the history of events than did 1878, why the
reporter is possibly correct. Otherwise the
story is absurd.
AS to the assertion that Mrs. O'Donnell, OF
Mrs. Lnt2, was forced into convent by her
parents, or that she was ever in a convent per.
force of her own violation, the GLOBE has
every assurance that it is also false.
According Ito the allegations of Jas. S
O'DoDnell, Geo. w. Lutz has not only alb
seconded to parts unknown, but he has taken
with him O'Donnell's trunk and books,
which were left in Mrs. O'Donaell's room in
her boarding house at the time of her arrest

Funeral of Bishop Lynch

CHARLESTON, s. c., March THE funeral
of Bishop Lynch took place to-day. Arch.
Bishops Gibbons and Conigan, six bishops
and twenty priests were present. The Ca
thederal was crowded with mourners. No
funeral sermon was preached, in accordance
with the wish Of the deceased, expressed in
the following passages from his will, which
were read during the ceremonies: "should !
die out of tbs diocese wish to be buried
where die, with such simple high mass as
my friends think fitting to bestow, mysbody
not to be taken to Charleston under three
years from my death. Should / die in Charles
ton, or the diocese, direct single solemn
high mass to be celebrated, according
to the rubrics of the pontihcat;
but neither there nor abroad do I
wish funeral sermon. I distinctly prohibit
it. wish to sink quietly in the grave, hoping
an able bishop will take my place and correct
my manifold errors. Ideprecate all costlinese
Of display, but do entreat my clergy often
and often to offer up the holy sacrifice for the
repose of my soul.'
Upon conclusion of the church services the
procession was formed, prelates and priests
chanting psalms, and passed through the
streets to the site Of the old cathedral, where
the body was placed in vault adjoining the
vaults of Bishops England and Reynolds
Prominent citizens, without distinction OF
creed, attended the funeral. The city bell
tolled all day.
