THE. SUNDAY TRAGEDY.

The tragedy, which occurred in this
city on Sunday, full account of
which appears in our local columns,
gives food for reflection. Here was a
saloon keeper selling intoxicating
drinks, in violation of law, on Sunday,
heating up the brains of men. inimical
to each other, and opening the way to
a bloody conflict. Here was one of
these men. going around the city with
a six-shooter in his hip pocket, getting
his mind worked up by drink to that
condition when the use of the pistol
would be considered his special right.
The result of these Sunday irregulari-
ties is that two men are now in their
graves. The violence and overbearing
conduct of one of these men may be
regarded as the main cause of the
tragedy, but had there been no saloon
keeper. at the hour it took place, vio-
lating law in selling drink, it is reas-
enable to suppose both men would
now be alive. and that Austin would
have been saved from so shameful a
shock. Penalty for the misdeeds has
been visited with awful vengeance on
the dead; and now the living should
lie taught to respect law, to suffer the
seyerost penalty for its infraction.

MRS. s. A. HANNIG.


On Sunday there died, in this city,
the lady whose name heads this ar
ticle. Mrs. Hannig was at one time
Mrs. Dickerson, name indelliby at
tached to the bloodiest page of Texas
history. At Thermopylae no one es-
capped at the Alamo, not a combat
ant in the citadel was left to tell the
tale. But there did es-
cape three non-combatants- Mrs
Dickinson, Mrs. Alsbury and
Col. Travis negro body servant. Mrs.
Dickinson was the wife of Lieut..
Dickinson, of the garrison. She was
in the fort at the time of its invest
ment by the Mexicans, and remained
there with her babe until the
terrible slaughter was ended.
When she left the Alamo
every soldier had fallen in defense of
the fort. Lieutenant Dickinson, with
child on his back, attempted to fol-
low his wife, but when he leaped from
window of the church the bodies of
both man and child fell lifeless to the
earth, riddled with Mexican bullets.
This woman had watched the advance
of the bloodthirsty enemy from
early dawn, when he adj
. vanced upon the fort, until
its last defender felix she saw il all:
heard the bugles give the signal for
advance; listened to the terrific rattle
of musketry as the Texans, from the
ramparts of the fort, poured velley
after volley into the advancing Next
can lines; heard the means of
the dead and dying, the repeat
ed calls of Castrellon for advance:
she watched the scalers and heard the
awful crash that opened breach in
the walls through which the Next
cans poured on to their deadly work ;
she saw Travis fall at the head of the
fight looked on the immortal
Crockett while he weeded down Next
cans with his ponderous blade until
he fell upon a hiIlock- of victims.
She heard the brave defense
of Bowie, as almost helpless he rose

THE WESTERN UNION.

The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany, during last month. notified THE
STATESMAN that on and after October
it would have to pay advanced rates
for specials-about one-half more than
had been before charged-and that to
secure the special service, even
at this rate, it would be neces-
sary to give the company an obli-
cation to take specials exclusively
over its lines for two years. In event
this proposition were not taken TIE
STATESMAN was notified that it would
have to pay commercial rates for all
specials. In view of the early compile
ton of other lines, and of the business
improperly in signing away all rights
to get specials at more reasonable
rates over other lines, THE STATES
MAN has refused to submit to the
two-year contract with the Western
Union. In the meantime, our specials
will be taken over such lines as will
transmit them at the lowest prices
For time there may be some incon-
venience and disappointment, result
ing from these facts, but shortly it is
hoped all will be corrected through
the agency of other lines, it being
stated by their managers, that they
will soon be in operation between al
| important points in the state.

SOMETIME ago The STATESMAN re-
ferred TO instances where newspapers
had been used in schools as most ready
conveyances of knowledge. Now
comes a New Y ork manufacturer who
employs 500 men, and testifies before
the Senate committee on labor as to
the newspaper. He says that since he
left school he had not been a great
reader in books, but he had been a
great observer of men, and ever since
he was boy he had read regularly
and with thoroughness all newspapers;
he had by reading the criticisms in the
newspapers acquired general knowl-
edge of literature newspapers were
very valuable and indispensable to
practical men, and he found them so
all thro ugh his life. eff 1 were the
boss of public schools said the wit
ness, 81 would have the news
papers read every day in
all the schools" Thousands of
other business men would testify to
the same effect if they were ques-
toned on the subject. The news
papers, in condensiug the political,
social, religious and literary history of
each day, furnishes an hour of study,
entertainment and improvement to
readers, and if pupils in the schools
were required to study the newsp2-
pers for an hour each day their adj
vancement would be greater than by
any other process of stu dy.

The New York Democratic ticket
is composed as follows:


is composed as follows:
For secretary of state, Judge Isaac
H. Maynard, native of Delaware
county. He has resided there all his
life and has held public trusts accept
ably, randing from president of the
village of Stamford to member of the
assembly and county judge. He is in
the prime of life and his private and
official life are without stain.
Alfred G. Chaplin, the nominee for
comptroller, is the present speaker of
the assembly. He halls from Kings
county. He is successful lawyer
and popular man with the young
Democracy of the state.
"Mr. Robert a. Maxwell, the nomi-
nee for state treasurer, is the present
incumbent, He has discharged his
duties well and faithfully.
"Dennis O'Brien, of Jefferssn coun-
ty, who-hd been selected for the at
torney-generalship, is a man ripe in
years and experience. He is leading
lawyer, and though a pronounced
Democrat, has taken but little part in
politics, so far as office-seeking or Of
tice-holding are concerned.
"Mr. Elnathan Sweet, of Albany
county, the nominee for state engi-
neer, is distinguished member of the
profession. He was the expert engi-
neer of the Tilden Canal commission,
and he has been thoroughly identified
with the reform interests of the
state"
There seems to be but little doubt
that the entire ticket will be elected.

from his sick bed, and, with the eX-
piring spirit of a patriot and demi-
god, met his foes and gave more than
one of them death. Mrs. Hannig has
often repeated the terrible scenes of
which she was an eye witness on that
awful day, when Texas gave up to inn
mortality the last one of these brave
defenders, and as often as they were so
repeated tears OF woe coursed down her
checks. But few women have passed
through such scenes, and in the CEN
turtles to come, none, probably, will ever
witness such another; certainly none
will perform any part in any act where
greater heroism may be displayed.
This woman was the last living me-
mortal of the Alamo. The "Babe of the
Alamo" her child, died many years
ago. Mrs. Alshury, in by gone years,
paid the debt of all humanity, and the
servant of Travis, after being lost
sight of, has long since gone where
there are no wars, no brave de-
tenders, no carnage, no Alamo.
Mrs. Hannig had lived to good old
age, and yet the scenes of that awful
day, in San Antonio, dweltIas fresh in
her mind to the day of her death, over
forty-eight years afterward, as though
they were but things of yesterday.
Her name belongs to the history OF
Texas, and it is but a
fitting tribute to the glorious
memorial oil her existence that she be
honored by Texas. Some of the brave
defenders of Texas sleep on the hill
south of the city, overlooking the
placid Colorado, but not one who died
at the Alamo slumbers peacefully
there. How proper it would be then
that the mortal remains of this
woman be deposited in the state
burial ground, where, in the futur e
Texas might honor the last resting
place of the woman, who cast her lot
with mortal heroes, who have beer
promoted to immortality.

FANNIE BRIGHAM WARD. writing
from Monterey. Mexico, to the St.
Paul Pioneer-Press, notes the ruin
that marks the track of Taylor's army
of invasion in peaceful, unoffending
Monterey. She then goes on to say:
Through these streets our soldiers
stormed, lighting all the way. Every
house was barricade to be taken,
and every room was a scene of muir
der" Under all the suave "interna-
tional" talk that to-day prevails in
Mexico runs current, deep and
strong, of luminosity to Americans.
The time is likely to come within the
next decale when the smouldering fires
of the old hatred will burst forth
anew against the now would-be peace
full invasion, and when that time ar
rives it will be well for Americans to
get out of the city,"

AN attempt is being made to con-
test the seat of Gen. E. Z. Lewis, con-

grounds. The member who was

that district died soon after his cleo
ton. The governor ordered special
clt ction and fixed the day, but, fol
-r,o.--- reason or other, before the time
for the election arrived, he changed
