"a great structure, my friend,

looking gentlemen to a stranger who
stood in rapt contemplation of the
bridge. at is wonderful evidence of
mans skill and enterprisel" "No, you
don't" exclaimed the stranger, edging
away. and eyeing the clerical gentle
man from head to foot with every
symptom of distrust. 81 know your
game In minute you'll want me
to 90 with you and get a lottery
ticket cashed, and before |
know which side of the street want
to take to get home, you and your
pals will bunko me out OF my last
hard-earned cent No you don't, I've

you mistake me entirely" replied the
clergyman, mildly, Il am minister

terg" demanded the other, looking
more treasured. "Are you giving it
to me straight? No taffy in this 7"
81 assure you, sir, am a clergyman"
said the clerical gentleman, with
dignity. "You may believe me, sir.
What 1 tell you is true"

stranger, offering his hand. "Put

BloOdIess Battle.

esterday afternoon, about $50
o'clock, Mr.. L. f. Daniels, met Mr.. s..
Ii. Dixon going to his boarding house,
(the Shipman House, on Brazos street,
and began firing at him with bull
dog" pistol, to the terror of the large
number of ladies and children who
were out on the galleries on all sides,
and witnesses to the sudden opening
of the sham battle. 1t seems that Mr..
Daniels and Mr.. Dixon have been at
daggers points for some days, and
their personal difficulties eliminated
yesterday as above stated. Mr.. Dan
iels waited for Mr.. Dixon, and seeing
him, in company with Mr.. r. NJ. John
son, went up towards him and ex-
claimed: Dixon, - you, defend
yourself" firing almost simultaneous
ly; so byStanderS and "lookers-on in
Venice" told a STATESMAN reporter.
Daniels had preliminary hearing be-
fore Justice Won Rosenberg, last
night, and waving an examination.
was placed under $500 bond for an as
sault with intent to murder.
The STATESMAN has repeatedly
stated that this reckless way desper-
ate and exasperated men have of at
GOlnPGluS W oOOI4C GuclI pGIoOudl ulul-
culties with a revolver, on the pub
lie streets, is disgrace to civilization
and should be put down at any cost.
1t is not sufficient for shootists to say
that they were sure of no one being
in dangerous positions before they
fired. Balls havea habit of CHANGING
in unexpected places and killing or
manning innocent parties. Whatever
may have been the personal grievan-
ceS between Daniels and Dixon the
public does not care enough about
such things to have their lives and
that of their families jeopardized by
having such difficulties settled with
revolvers in manner more becoming
community of barbarians than that
of "a civilized city. Mr.. Dixon claims
that he had no arms at all though
Mr.. Daniels and a number of by
| ISLANDERS say he made the "TeXas
pistol" motion as the firing began
The prompt action of the officers in
arresting Mr.. Daniels is commended
by every one. Officer Thorp made
the arrest. Daniels, UP to a late houl
last night, had been unable to give
bond, and was remanded to Jail.

DEPARTMENT NOTES.
FRIDAY.


Patents are now being issued quite
rapidly from the general land office.
Deputy Internal Revenue Collector
johnson has returned and made his
report to Collector Ludlow as to the
inspection of claims for rebates from
the BRENNAN district. The deputies
have to affirm to the correctness of
claims as based upon the testimony
of responsible witnesses.
The penitentiary board met yester-
day and considered a proportion from
sUb-contractors of the new capitol to
lease convicts to work in the rock
quarries in the mountains. The
question was whether the contract
could, under the very restrictive law,
be made, and the board decided that,
for the specific purpose named, it
could. The application was referred
to the superintendent of the peniten-
tiary, and very likely a contract for
the labor desired will be made.
About 800 tracts of land were yes
terday stricken from the advertised
list of lands for sale in the unorgan.
lied counties. Parties generally are
paying up their delinquent taxes in
all parts of the state.

Fish in Texas Rivers.

Capt. VIM. Riley, the well known
fisherman on the Rio Colorado, re-
ports that last week he caught three
nice carp weighing on an average two
pounds each. Mr.. Riley regards this
as very great testimonial to the
skill and faithfuIness of our late fish
commissioner. Mr.. RobertsRobertson
Mr.. Riley, at the request of Fish Com
missioner Lubbock, lately inspected
the dam at Chambers mill, below the
city, and states that, in his opinion, in
order to allow the salmon and other
large fish to come up above it, it will
be necessary to cut down about sixty
feet of the top of the dam, or two
thirds of the distance across the river,
to foot below low water mark and
place inclined planks at an angle to
the dam itself so as to aid the fish in
their efforts to swim across. This will
in no way affect the utility of the
dam, and will allow the fish to pass
up into the river beyond. 1t is to be
hoped that these steps will soon be
taken, as the advantages of having
our river stocked with beautiful fish
are many. Mr.. r. will also urge
taken to place number of his lob
sters in the river above the city, as
he is satisfied that they will prosper
and multiply. He has, within a
week, cought four himself, and thinks
that with a little encouragement, in
the near future the citizens of Aus.
tin may have a nice fresh lobster
upon their tables in the morning.

A Few Figures

A gentleman with statistical
turn handed The STATESMAN the fol-
lowing yesterday, with the inquiry:
why do so many missionaries go to
China, etc, if the following is awful ?"
The whisky drinkers of Illinois
consumed last year S6O,OOO,OOO worth
of the fiery liquid. In Chicago alone
there are 1850 drinking saloons, and,
estimating the receipts of these sa-
looms at from $40 to $175 daily, the
total amount annually expended in
Chicago at the counters is $32 ,OS2, $50,
or more than $50 per capita for every
man, woman and child in the city.
The proportion of drinking saloons
in Chicago is one to every 100 of pop
ulation, and in the state of Illinois
there is one retail liquor dealer to
every 270 inhabitants. There are in
the United States 10000 retail liquor
dealers, whose annual sales probably
amount to 30,800,0O0, or $3.50 per
capita for the whole population of the
country. 1t is estimated that 80 per
cent. of the liquor consumed goes
down the Threats Of the male popula-
ton, who annually eXpend upon the
qualification of their appetites for
drink the enormous sum of $690,00O,-

TerribIe Tragedr at OntmanriIle.

Friday morning James Revira
aged about twelve years and his sister
Rosetta. aged eleven, children of a
Mexican with negro wife, residing
near OatmanVille, left school together
for their ihome. fNot arriving at the
usual time the parents became alarm
ed, and thus neighbors being aroused

them during the night. Saturday
morning they were found in a creek
near the road to their home. the girl
lying in the bed of the creek near Il
pool of blood and frightfully injured
but still alive; the boy at distance
of twenty yards from his sister in the
midst of thicket, with horrible
wounds in his neck and side and dead.
Near lby were rocks covered with
blood and hair which evidently had
been used in beating the head of the
girl. City and county physician Cum
mlngS, OF this city, was called upon
and arrived just in time to see the
boy before he was buried, and imme-
diately proceeded to where the girl Law.
under the shade of tree near by the
scene of the tragedy. She was uncon-
scious and suffering terribly from
a fracture in the skull ahd injuries in
the forehead and bad cuts in the scalp.
Further examination showed that she
had been raped in most fiendish
manner. The doctor dressed the
wounds, taking out a piece of the
skull that lay upon the brain, and put
the little sufferer in as comfortable a
position as possible, but has very lit
tie hopes of her recovery. The Off
GERS were Immediately on the track of
the murderer, and in short time ar
rested Mexican lad named John
Bidell, alias Tavana, upon the follow
ing evidence: He was seen talking
with the Riyira children Immediately
the crime and upon his per-
son was found bloody knife which
exactly fitted into the wound in the |
side of the boy, while blood was found |
on his pants, his drawers had been |
changed, his shirt sleeves had been |
washed and he had come into town |
from the direction of the tragedy late |
that evening. Deputy sheriff Charlie |
Pace, assisted by MeSsrs. Simpson and |
made the arrest and brought |
the prisoner into this city and lodged |
him in the county jail. The feeling
in Oatmanville is very strong against
Bidell, and it was deemed unsafe to
allow him to remain in the neighbOr-
hood, even under arrest.

Sudden Death.

We are panied to chronicle the
death of Mrs. Mary A. Watson, wife
of Capt. TIP. Watson, of the treas
ury department, which occurred
about 5 o'block yesterday afternoon
About 4 o'clock she was in the Office
of the treasurer, apparently well, and
INDUCING in lively converse with
Gov. Lubbock and others, and from
there proceeded directly home. Soon
Can't. Watson was summoned to at
tend her, and before the family ply
Stefan could arrive she was dead
This is a terrible sorrow to her family
and large circle of friends, and the
STATESMAN begs to offer its sincere
coincidence to the bereaved ones. The
funeral occurs from the Catholic
church at 5 o'clock this evening. =

Good for Austin.

The following is from the Corpus
Christi Critic:
Something curious in judicial mat
tiers has occurred in Austin. A batch
of lost indictments have been found.
Experience teaches us that such
things do not come to pass very often;
in fact, we believe it is the first time
in the history of Texas, as state,
that lost Indictment has ever made
it's appearance again in the files of a
court"
This speaks well for Austin; and is
in fact, just the kind of place it is
and such state of affairs naturally
makes the people of Texas proud OF
their Capitol City. But the STATES
MAN hopes that the above piece of
cyniciSm does not insinuate that Cor
pus Christi is antipodal to Austin,

at last concluded that blocks 20 and

purposes. These two half blocks will
cost the company S25,7O0, but it is

A Splendid Remedy for Lung
Diseases.

DR.. Robert Newton, late president
of the Eclectic college of the city of
New York, and formerly of Cincin-
natl, Ohio, used DR. VIM. Halls Bal
sam very extensively in his practice,
as many of his patients, now living.
and restored to health by the use of
this invaluable medicine, can amply
testify. He always said that so good
a remedy ought not to be considered
merely as patent medicine, but that
it ought to be prescribed freely by
every physician as sovereign RENE
DIV in all cases of lung diseases. 1t is
a sure cure for consumption, and has
no equal for all pectoral complaints.
