Murder Most Foul.

At Del Vale, yesterday afternoon
about four o'clock, a most foul muir
der was committed. The facts, as
briefly stated by Mr.. ThoS. Pearson,
nephew of the young man shot, are
as follows:
About a year ago VIM. Pearson
and Marsailles M. Costley had a diff
Guilty on account of girl, in which
the latter was severely cut. Yes
terday VIM. Pearson went to the
residence of DR.. Maxwell, near
Given's store, as his mother was sick.
He found the doctor lying down and
Costley was standing near the bed. AS
Pearson stepped in he leaned up
against the doordand told the Doctor
his errand. At the same time Costley
grabbed revolver belonging to the
doctor, which was hanging on the bed
stead, and fired at Pearson without a
word. The ball took effect in his left
breast and as Pearson turned to get out
of the way, Costley fired two more
shots, both of which took effect in
Parsons back and he fell. Then
Costley shot him in the back of the
head and jumped on his horse and
fed. Mr.. Pearsons father offers $500
reward for the body of Costley, dead
or alive. Justice Rosenberg issued
warrant last night, and officers are
in search of the murderer.

Reaniescat in Pace.

The funeral services of Mr.. John L.
Edwards yesterday, were very i'm
pressive. There was large number
of friends at the Episcopal church to
hear the solemn ritual services by the
rector; and then large cortege fol-
lowed the remains to the cemetery
escorted by the Knights Of Pythias
and Austin Greys, to both of which
organizations Mr.. Edwards was a
member esteemed and beloved by
all. At the grave the
burial services of the Knights of
Pythias were performed, and they are
beautiful and impressive, and the
ritual was solemnly and clearly read
by Mr.. Wilson Gregg, assisted in the
symbolical portions by all the Knights
in uniform and regalia. The earnest
sympathies of all was extended othe
stricken relatives, as they had not
only lost an earthly tie whose heart
was nobility itself. but Austin had
lost an exemplary citizen and promis-
ing young man.

AN IMPORTANT LEGAL DECISION.

AN IMPORTANT LEGAL DECISION.
A very important case and one of
considerable local interest, was de-
cided yesterday in the supreme court.
1t was the case of Ella r. Carter ct al
VS.. Jno. II. Conner ct al; appealed
from Travis county. The suit was
filed by Conner for himself and the
heirs of his deceased wife against
Ella Carter, to recover thirty-two lots
in the city of Austin. which were de-
vised to her by Bird Holland in 1864.
The property had formerly belonged
to Conner, but had been sold and
bought in by Holland at trust sales.
Conner claimed that Holland had
subsequently reconveyed the lots to
him, and that the deed of conveyance
was lost. The suit by Conner was in
stituted in 1873, and shortly after
wards Miss Rust, representing Miss
Carter, interviewed. claiming title
under sheriff's deeds made
under executions against Con-
ner, which were levied upon the
same property. The case was tried
in the Travis county district court in
1876, and decided in Corners favor
1t was appealed by Miss Carter to the
supreme court, and in 1879 decided
against her, the decision of the court
below being affirmed. A rehearing
was applied for, and after a hard
struggle, finally granted. The case
then came ON to be heard as it origi-
nally stood on appeal, and was yes
terday decided in Miss Carriers favor,
being a virtual conclusion of the case.
The case, in its legal bearings, is new
and very important, and has been
most strenuously contested on both
sides. The appellants, Misses Carter
and Rust, were represented by Han
cock s. West, and during the
letter stage of the case

by Cullen, Jones & Trigg and Robert

English Capital Invested in Southern
Lands.

1t is noticeable that most of the
large land purchases now being made
in this country are by English syndi-
Gates or capitalists. 1t was an English
company which purchased 81 900
acres of land in the Panhandle of
Texas. the other day; and an English
syndicate that bought 100000 acres
of bottom land in the Y aZoo of MissiS-
sippi,, which they will drain and put
in good condition for cultivation.
The Florida purchase made of Diss
ton is even larger. Disston obtained
100000 acres of land from the state
Of Florida and re-sold half of it, 2,O00,-
200 acres, to an English company,
headed by Sir E. j. Reed. the famous
civil engineer, which company pro-
poses to drain this country, divide it
into twenty-acre lots, clear two or
three acres on each, erect a house and
furnish the settler with home i'm
mediately on his arrival.
Besides these, there have been
heavy purchases of lands by English
companies in Colorado and Kansas,
but the south still seems to be the IA
vorite place of investment for their
capital.
Those Englishmen who have come
here to see and investigate these pur-
chases have all returned home well
pleased with them. They give as the
reason why so much English capital
is now turned toward America. the
small outlet there is for it at home.
Land in England is at discount; the
manufactures are overproducing and
there is no room for more. The only
place where money may be invested
with profit and safety is in America,
and the best investments here are
in the cheap lands to be purchased in
the south.
These investments are, of course
merely experimental as yet, and 1t re
mains to be seen whether they will
prove profitable or not. If they
should. the south ought to be able tt
command as much capital from Eng
land as it desires to improve and de
velop its waste places.

the McKanes, two young men con-
victed on charge of obstructing the
United States mail service by inter.
fering with brakeman, on mail car
of the Central railway train, to pay
fine of $50 each. One of them, it
will be remembered, escaped from an

victed, but very wisely returned of
his own accord to custody. Had he
waited to be arrested, there might
have been heavier penalty in the
case.

Cost of Railroads i'm Operation.

An inquiry into the revelations of
the census as to the railroads of the
United States shows that the cost of
the $1,000 miles of the railways in
operation has been placed in the. CEN
sus at about $5,660,OOO,OO0. OF this
almost inconceivable sum only two
fifths represent cash, the other three
fifths being represented by interest
bearing bonds. The average cost per
mile, in round numbers, was $65, 600,
and the average Indebtedness $4,000
per mile, upon which interest is con-
stantly paid or accommodating. In
view of this Atlas-like load, it is easy
to conceive that the mattresses of
many railroad managers must rest
upon spikes rather than upon French
springs. This Indebtedness must be
paid by passengers and freighters.
