In MemOrlam.

at a meeting of the Board of
Deacons of the First Presbyterian
church of Austin. held August "a, the
following memorial was adopted, viz:
God, in His providence, having removed by
sudden death, at Du Pre-, Texas, July IL, 1884,
our fellow Deacon, James A. Chandler, it IS
appropriate that we, his associates, express
for ourselves, and the church we serve, our
81 cere sorrow at the loss we have sustained,
anu our appreciation of the high character of
cur beloved brother.
Mr.. Chandler united with this church JAN
uary 1, 1871, aud was ordained and installed
Deacon, February II, 1877, At the time OF his
death he was nearly So years of a &c.
He was man OF unaffected piety, of noble i'm
pulses, and of sterling integrity. His pure
character and upright life made the religion
he professed and the Lord he served attractive
to others. and, we believe, he was trusted and
loved wherever he was known. When he re-
sided in Austins he took an active interest in
the affairs of the church, and discharged his
It's officers; and, after his removal from the
CITY, his love for the church did not cease.
MARK the perfect man and behold the UP
right: ior the end of that man is peace"
We hereby request the session of the church
that this memorial be read at the public
service next Sabbeth morning, and be spread
upon the minutes of the church.
We do also resolve that this paper be sent to
the family of our departed brother, as express
great affection, and also be published In the
DAILY STATESMAN.

THE COURT0

The county commissioners met yes
terday, approved some accounts and
then visited the county poor farm to
make the usual inspection.
There was quite an array of the rep
resentatives of the demi-monde in
Justice Tegener's court, where they
were subjected to the usual ordeal of
trial for vagrancy, and the prurient
gaze Of d crowd of spectators.
In Justice Won RoSenberg'S court
the proceedings were far less refined
even than in Judge Tegener's, the
revolving spectacle being presented
of a negro undergoing trial on the
heinous charge of having attempted
to outrage his own daughters, aged
respectively about fifteen and thirteen
years. The negro charged, George
Doug lass, was remanded to Jail TIL
this morning, when the justice will
determine the amount of bail required
for his appearance and trial before
the district court.
William Shields was convicted anC
fined $25 for carrying six shooter
though outside city limits, as it hap
peDed, and 800 more for unwarrante6
flourishing of pistol about a private
residence. Dave Williams was also
convicted of carrying six shooter
and was fined $25. Costs swell the
penalties nearly double in each case.
