Sunday afternoon the Avenue, near
the land Office. was the scene of Il
lively tussle between a burly negro
named Jim Alexander, and colored
policeman, Mr.. L. Morris. A COM
plant was made against Alexander
by gentleman whom he had insult
ed, and Officer Morris received orders
to arrest him. Morris, upon meeting
Alexander in front of the land office,
attempted to arrest him but the latter
Strenuously resisted. Morris was too
much for him, however, and finally,
after rough-and-tumble fight down
the Avrlue and up West Hickory
street to the market house, safely
landed his man in the calaboose. A
complaint was afterwards made
against the arrested man for resisting
an officer, and this morning he will
have to answer to two charges in
stead of one.

The commissioners who selected
Terrell as the site for the branch luna
tic asylum made their report to Gov.
Ireland, giving good reasons for their
choice, Terrell being found the most
nearly suitable place in north Texas
under the requirements of the act of
the legislature, especially as to con-
yenience of water supply. Fort
Worth agreed to supply water through
its water works, but the commission-
ers concluded that it was better to be
independent of any corporation or

The UlcIOne Yesterday.

ObServant lookers-on yesterday du-
ring the rain witnessed sight unu-
sual here. The rain, accompanied by
a gale south of the river, moved from
east to west, shaking things up at a
lively rate around the deaf and dumb
institute. The wind veered from the
west, and then came down on the
city moving eastward. 1t was reg
ular cyclone, the circumference of
which extended only from South
Austin to the northern limits of the
city, and only reached East avenue to
the east. A fine shower of rain fell,
doing a great deal of good. The in
dications are that the rain is not over
with yet.

DEPARTMENT NOTES.
WEDNESDAY.
LAND DEPARTMENT.

The patenting labors OF this depart
ment are necessarily several months
behindhand for want of sufficient
clerical force to bring up and keep up
the work. The land agents are COM
planning of this and offer to facilitate
the work by furnishing the commits
sioner with clerks, if he will accept
them, but Capt Walsh doubts his au-
thority to accept their offers. There
are applications on hand for about
$4,000 patents.
Jones, Wilbarger, Donley, Howard
and Wichita, of the heretofore unor-
ganized counties, have perfected their
organization so as to entitle them. in
the order named, to four leagues school
land each of the land set apart for
such counties. The leagues for the
first four are all in Games county.
One of the leagues for Wichita is in
Gaines also. and the other three in
Martin county.
Messrs. Maddox Bros, land agents of
this city, have procured the legal
opinion of Anderson & Flint, attor-
neys, Waco, Texas, as to the right of
applicants to complete purchases of
school lands on applications made
prior to February 3, 1888. The opin-
ion is favorable to the applicants, but
the question has to be determined by
the attorney general.
STATE DEPARTMENT.
The charter of the Bolton cotton
seed oil company, capital $4,000, To-
Gated at Bolton in Bell county, was
Messrs. Robert b. Brown, of st.
ID i AftIlnr
ID. z. Denny and r. n. Raven of
Bolton.
There is no copy of resolutions or
other evidence of the action of the
Austin and Northwestern railroad
company in executing asecond mo TT
gage of the road filed in the office of
the secretary of state, which, if we
mistake not, the law requires should
be done. The mortgage, as elsewhere
noticed, was filed in the county court.
FISH COMMISSIONERS.
Fish Commissioner Lubbock is
daily receiving numerous applica-
tions for carp, which he will
begin to distribute as expeditiously
as he can on June l and to the end of
the month. It's expected that par
ties getting them will not put them
in waters where there are terrapins,
cat fish and game fish of any kind
that will prey upon and destroy them.
ADJUTANT GENERALS DEPARTMENT..

An Old Settler lI0na.

One of those fine fgtrees in the
Avenue hotel court fell yesterday
shortly after the rain. 1t was loaded
with fruit and is quite loss to the
hotel. These trees are no doubt the
finest in Texas, and perhaps, in the
South. They were set out just after
the hotel was completed, some fifteen
or twenty years ago, and have never
been known to fail to yield large
crop. The cause of the one falling
Yesterday was decay at the roots.

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 4 patent medicine, but that
it ought to be prescribed freely by
every physician as a sovereign reme-
dy in all cases of lung diseases. 1t is
a sure cure for consumption, and has
no equal for all pectoral complaints.

Negro Row Drowned.

A large crowd of little negros were
in bathing below town in the river on
Sunday, getting out planks from the
bridge, when one who could not swim
got into deep water and was drowned
before assistance could be rendered.
After an hours search by a crowd of
men he was found. "This is the result
of not sending these crowds of loaf
ing children to Sunday school, said a
colored brother yesterday.

The question of having suitable

adopted requesting parties interested
in such enterprises to confer with

subject.
The board expected to visit the uni

CAPITAL BOARD.
This board met yesterday in the gov
ernor'S office to answer the letter OF
the contractors giving a list OF seven
teen stone quarTies in Travis and adj
jacent counties. The contractors
state they have gone to the expense
of $4,000 IN testing quarTies, and
that the only one affording a sutfi-
cient quantity of suitable character
is the Oatmanville quarry, near Aus
tin. They desire the stone examined
by the board.
The board in reply state that they
have by resolution adopted the stone
as suitable in character without there
by pledg1ng themselves as to the suf-
iciency of the supply to be found in
the quarry. They decide only that
the specimen presented by the con-
tractors as coming from the quarry
conforms to the class of stone re-
quired for the building, and to what,
so far as their observation goes, Is
found in the u1Iarrv
The board also gave notice that the
supplemental contract, changing the
tensile strength required for cement
would be null, unless unqualiliedly
approved by Mr.. Meyer, designer and
