THE public school fund Of Texas should be
regarded as a sacred thing, and be guarded
asd preserved for educational purposes. We
question the propriety and wisdom Of lend
ing school money out to towns and cities upon
their bonds, and think it hazardous to take
even the bonds of a county, to any very large
sum. Politicians too often sacrifice the
school fund in order to subserye the purposes
Of their sinister ambition, but it is to be
hoped the school fund OF Texas will not be
sacrificed in any such way. but preserved to
educate future generations.

NEW YORK, May 12.-Capt. Munro,
of the City of Rrome, states that on
April %, while passing six sailing
vessels almost becalmed within two
or three miles of. each other, full
rugged ship was observed two t.
three miles off displaying signals in
terpreted by me to be ship wrecked" !"
"Crew State" but no urgency signal
displayed, OF, if displayed, not seen,
nor the name or nationality of the
ship given. Had the signal of distress
OF urgency been seen, it would have
had Immediate attention. AS the day
was calm, and the signals dropping,
it was difficult to make out a signal,
but it would have been easy for a
vessel to put out a boat which could
have intercepted the City of Rome.
Not until after our arrival at Liver
pool, and hearing the State line
steamer was overdue, did the incident
teeome connected in my mind with
the indistinct signals, when / at once
reported by conjecture. l certainly
would be the last man to neglect q
duty of every seaman, to render as
sistance to any one in distress at sea
having ON more than one occasion
been ind ebted to Others for the preser
yation of my own life. The second

A Serious Smuggling Match

OMAHA, NEB., May 13.-The Fell
Hanly prize fight for purse of $500
took place one mile from Clear creek,
in this state, to-day. There was an
attendance of about one hundred,
some of whom came from st. Joe,
Kansas City and Denver. Tom Jones
and Jim Morgan acted as referees, and
twenty-five rounds were fought, last
ing less than thirty minutes. Both
men were in excellent condition, Han
ley especially appearing splendid
specimen of masculine development.
First blood Was Claimed simultane-
ously by both parties. Fell Wss
body blows, while Hapley's ear was
considerably enlarged. The faces of
the men were badly SCARED , and at
nineteenth round a disturbance took
place between several of the spectators
in which several OF the men were
chased about the field, and a number
of revolVers iTawn, but without shoe :
ing. Several attempts were made to
get the fight declared in FelPs favor,
and in the twenty-second round it was
SO declared amid wild excitement.
On the return trip, as on the out ward
one, there were fights every half dozen
miles, but were always quelled with
out more than a black eye or cut
cheek bone. When nearing Millard,
twenty-one miles from this point.
many hardsfghts occurred IN one Of
the cars, in which, after some dura-
tion, revolvers were discharged, and
three men fell severely injured, one
shot through the head, another
through the face and another under
the arm. Two of the wounded men
are Johu Marks and John Mcclellan;
the thil I'd is unknown. The train was
stopped and when it arrived here
there were but xix excursionists and
three wounded men aboard.

ing fired in the middle of city" l
Will state that in our sister city of San

a vote of 303 to 275. The Parnellites
voted with the minority. The debate,
