The Lunatic Asylum.

DIR. A. n. Denton received a letter
from a gentleman in Hays county yes
terday, stating that his wife is a raw
ing maniac. and imploring him to
secure her entrance into the asylum as
soon as possible.
While speaking on this subject, DIR.
Denton, who will take charge of the
asylum about the goth inst, told a
STATESMAN reporter that he was go
ing in the institution actuated by only
one motive-that was to do all in his
power to benefit the unfortunate in
mates and reflect credit on the state
through the manner in which those
helpless and dOubly dependent crea-
lures were cared for. He said that no
sentiment of jealousy would prevent
him from asking or receiving
AID and advice from any source
whence a knowledge of the
wants and requirements of the
insane might render such advice
authoritative and weighty. With this
idea in view, he stated that he had al
ready written to DR.. d. r. Wallace, of
Waco, whose scientific attachments
and knowledge of mental diseases and
long experience in the asylum here as
superintendent, all combined to make
him one of the best authorities in
Texas. DR.. Denton wishes the assist
ance Of DIR. Wallace in classifying the
patients, arranging each order of dis
ease or cause OF insanity to itself, and
then to subdivide these divisions ac-
cording to the intensity OF the malady
so us to the better and more rapidly
treat them. He says that whatever
may be done or said, his only OBJ
ject will be to do the insane ali the
good he can. And those who know
the doctor personally feel and know
that he is sincere in this profession of
philanthropy. 1t is to be hoped that
he may receive the desired aid from
DR. Wallace.

DALLAS, Jan. g. The Evening
Times has information from parties
at Alvarado and Fort Worth that
Polk, the defaulting treasurer of Ten
nessee, passed north last night via the
Missouri Pacific to Fort Worth,
where, at II o'clock last night, he took
the west bound Texas and Pacific
train for FL Paso. He had dismissed
his Mexican servant, and had EN-
ployed instead white and black ser
want, to allay suspicion, and entrusted
the transferring of baggage, etc, TO
Van Polk. a gentleman in Dallas
who Travelled northward from George
town to Fort Worth on the same train
insists he is positive the Polk party
was on board. Polk is related to one
of the best families in Dallas, and was
a classmate at West Point with Gen.
W. l.. Cabell, eX-mayor of Dallas, and
graduated with him. Gen. Cabell
says this is the first instance in which
West Point graduate has ever will
fully defaulted; that several have had
to resign on account of carelessness
in commisSary matters, but wilful
dishonesty has never before been at
tdched to them.

LLANo, Jan. Oscar Golson shot
and killed George Porter, eight miles
south of town, about dark yesterday
evening. Golson had bought some
cattle from Porter and was receiving
them at Porter's pen, when the latter
tried to put off mortgaged cattle on
Golson. A dispute arose and Porter,
with an open knife, gave Golson the
lie, which Golson returned; whereup-
on Porter stabbed Golson in the left
breast. Golson ran to get out of his
way but was followed by Porter sew
eral hundred yards. Golson had Sc
cured horse by this time, and
on the saddle was Winchester rifle
GOlson soon became sick and got of
his horse by the roadside when Porter
who had, with a drawn knife, taken a
horse from one of the boys, passed
him Porter soon returned and meet
ing GOlson ran on to him with the
drawn knife, when Golson, in self de
Tense, fired. Porter said: "You have
killed me-" and continued t, run his
horse onto Golson, who kept firing I'M

Especial to The Statesman. !

PALESTINE, Jan. 8.-The board OF
aldermen of this city have just
granted to j. L. Jones the exclusive
privilege for fifty years to light the
city with electric lights. The grant
of such monopoly has given rise to
much unfavorable comment, and the
action of the city government does
not meet with much approval. The
terms, etc., under which the lights
are to be supplied are by no means
low and the grant itself in town like
this ought to he worth a large amount
Of money to its fortunate pOssessor.
Another subject of discussion just
at this time is whether or not the city
should issue $4,000 8 per cent bonds
to build and equip large public
school. The general sentiment seems
in favor of some appropriation for the
purpose, though many of our citizens
are advocating the expenditure of
about $1,000 to build a suitable
school at this time and afterwards as
time goes on to erect similar buildings
in different sections of the city.
