Austin. Texas.

AUSTIN, Tex. May IS, 1SS4.-Edito
LEADER will now tell you, as
promised, something about the CAPT
tai of Texas and its surroundings.
Austin is beyond question the pref
test city in America, and is situated
in the most beautiful and picturesque
country I ever saw. Nature seems to
have exhausted upon it her diversity
ing skill, and to have built here
bower for all her charms. To de-
scribe it would be task which could
not be accomplished by any pen un-
hallowed by the benison of inspira-
ton. Irying's portrait of Grenada
and the Alhambra would fall far
short of the picture which here pre-
sents itself to the view. On
avery side the subdued landscapes
stretch away in prospects of living
green, rising in the distance into emil
nences which swell their grassy banks
against the sky, on which long lines of
cattle move about like spectres upon
the horizon. This to me was novel
and romantic in the extreme; but a
lady laughed heartily at me when /
remarked few days since. with en-
thusiasm, that / had seen cattle be-
tween me and the sky. and she wanted
to know if a Texas steer had run over
me.
This beautiful city is built almost
entirely of a white granite quarrled IN

FIRE ON THE STRAND.

GALVESTON, June 16.--At 1890 TO-
night flames were discovered issuing
from the rear of the top floor OF
large three-story brick building on the
strand, known as "the League build
ing" This block Immediately adj
joins the property where stood the
"Prince" building, which was burned 10
days ago. At this writing the League
building is enyeloped in sheet OF
flames, and seemed doomed. That
portion of the building where the fire
was first discovered was occupied by
E. J. Beiring e Co., wholesale grocers,
who were burned out on June 6.
Some misunderstanding exists be-
tween this firm and certain of its
creditors over insurance policies, rep
resenting $4,000 insurance on Beiring
81 Co.'s stock destroyed June 6.
An employee of Beiring q Co. stated
to the Associated Press reporter, that
all the books and valuable papers OF
the firm are now being consumed, to-
gether with stock, most of which
is new. The other tenants in the
burning block are Adoue s. Lobit
bankers, who were also burned out on
June 6, Walker 81 Co., commission
merchants, and 81. Seelbyson &, Co.
commission merchants. A number OF
third floor rooms were used for sleep
ing apartments. The loss cannot bt
ascertained tonight. The evidences
are it will be heavy.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 16.-Sec-
rotary Frelinghuysen has commune
the house committee on foreign af-
fairs, concerning the mysterious SEN
ate amendment to the consular and
diplomatic bill, appropriating $250,OOO
to carry out the provisions of the
neutrality act and an arrangement
has been made by Messrs. Curtin and
Randall for joint session of the
house foreign affairs and appro-
priation COMMITTEES, to be held wednes-
day morning to consider what action
should be taken in the matter by the
house. The question to be discussed
Is whether on finding the appropria-
ton a proper one, they should simply
recommend concurrence in the senate
amendment, or should introduce a
resolution in the house calling upon
the secretary of state for all CORES
pondence relating to the matter, and
to give it to the public that they may
understand the transaction.
The supreme court granted an order
to-day in the suit of the Marine bank
against U. s. Grant, Ferdinand Ward
and others, directing the sheriff of
Kings county to transfer to John Il.
Wilson, receiver in the suit, j. II.

others, property in his possession,
levied upon under attachment issued
in the action of the Marine bank
against the property of Ferdinand
Ward.
WASHINGTON, June 19-The repub-
icab senators held a caucus this morn
ing upon the Mexican pension bill.
Mr.. Ingalls, amendment proposing to
remove limitations of arrears pension
act was so modified as to extend the
provisions of the arrears act only to
cases filed before the first of next JAN |
uary, and, in this shape, it was APP |
proved by majority of the caucus.
The subject of final adjournment of
congress was not alluded to.

A DISCARDED LOVERS
FRENZY.

Seeking Consolation in Drink and Trying
to Kill His Rival.
TRENTON, n. j., June PA wild
eyed young man, of stout build, rath-
er under medium height and with
well-worn clothes carelessly hung
about him, was at the police station
to-day in quest of justice. He Dor
evidence of having been on a protract
ed spree. A few weeks ago Chief Me
Chesney had seen the same man clea
shaver and looking the pink of re-
spectability. Since then John Muir
ply, as he gave his name, has had a
bitter experience. On the very thresh-
hold of matrimonial bliss he was
rudely cast off by the girl he loved
and he charged that his place in her
affections was transferred to a He
brew named Lyman Harris. Harris
and Murphy are both tailors, Muir
ply has been in the city since last No.
vember and has worked for the leading
State street clothing house. The lady
he courted is a tailoreSS named Mag
gle Mcdonald. Their courtship pro-
crossed so satisfactorily that the
banns were published in st. Johns
Chapel. The day for the wedding was
AACl, duu OlluO dlIo SlOOuI Ildu pI6-
pared the wedding raiment. 1t was
at this happy hour that the temptor
appeared. A story, said to have been
started by Hyman Harris, was circu-
lated, that Murphy was married man
before he came to Trenton. The story
was accepted by the girl, who at once
declared her engagement broken. Har-
ris is said to have since then accom-
panied her home from work in the
evening. Murphy was so broken up
that he sought consolation in the cup.
He found no redress to-day at the po-
tice station.
Late this afternoon he repaired to
the shop of Harris, on Warren street,
and drawing a thirty-two calibre re
volver fired on his rival. The ball
struck Harris right cheek bone. Sew
eral girls working in the shop scream
ed. Neighbors rushed in, and after
tussle Murphy was disarmed. A pol
iceman took him to the lookup. Har-
ris' wound will not prove fatal. To-
night he preferred charge against
of felonious ASSAULT with in
tent to kill. He denies that he alien
ated the affections of Miss Mcdonald.
Murphy will have hearing to-mor-
row

DEPARTMENT NOTES.

The charter of the Bankers and

nevolent purposes, was filed yesterday
with the Secretary of state. Trustees

The system of graduated charges
for charters as provided by the legis-
lature at the suggestion of Capt.
Baines, has made the Office of. secreta-
ry of state source of considerable
revenue. Not less than $4,000 year
are paid into the treasury during the
wear, the most of which is derived from
fees for charters under the graduated
system. AS much as $1,000 was paid
for one charter. Formerly but one
price was paid for any charter with
out regard to the extent of the bust
ness chartered.

Tribute of Respect.

Robert Stafford Bacon was born in
st. Mary's, Camden county, Georgia,
Dec. 81, 1910. He was instructed, first
at Georgetown, d. c., afterwards in
the school of Rev. Anthony Ten
Brook, at Schuylkill Falls, near Phila-
delphi2, Penu., and last at the Georgia
eta. 1t was at this last mentioned
school that the writer first knew him,
and he exhibited here, as cadet, those
same characteristics of noble gener-
osity, amiability, purity and genial
Sociabillty. that endeared him to his
associates in every age and condition
of his life. He came to Texas in
Dec, 1859, and on Jan. %, 1862, was
married to Albertine G. HARRISON,
of Austin, Texas, by Rev. W. M.
Baker of the Presbyterian church. On
the 9th of November, 1866, he was
called upon to mourn the loss of his
wife, who died in galveston, leaving
one child. He was married the second
time Februry 25, 1868, to Jane M.
HARRISON, of Austin. Four children
were born of this marriage. Hemor-
rhage of the lungs in 1877 convinced
his friends that consumption, that in
SldlouS destroyer OF human life, mad
marked him for its victim. For even
years he fought heroically against the
inroads of the fell destroyer. When
convinced by his failing health
that he must succomb, he met
the ordeal of death as bravely
as he had endured his sufferings pa
tiently. Under the kind ministrations
of Rev. DIR. Smoot, he expressed faith
and hope in the Lord who gave him
life, and to whose demand he resign
eddy surrendered it.
On the morning of June 9th, 1884
he quietly breathed his last, leaving
a grief-stricken widow, five sorrow
ing children, an affectionate brother
and many relatives and friends to fol
low his remains to the grave.
The funeral services conducted b.
DIR. Smoot, at the Presbyterian church
were impressive and largely ATTENDED
by the many who knew and loveC
him in health, and others who sympa
thized and sorrowed with his bereav
ed family. A. ID. 5.

Wooing with Rope, Knife and Pistol,
Special Dispatch to the Times.

louisville, June 13.-Simon
Smith, a resident of Mahanoy Plane,
was committed to prison here to-day
for safe keeping. He fell in loye with
Eva Bolthan and his suit prospered
for awhile. Then Eva's affections
grew cold. Smith resolved to have the
idol of his affection or do something
desperate. Aiming himself this
morning with pistol, a knife and
rope he went to the residence of the
young lady. He fastened one end of
the roap around his neck and the 9TH
er end to hat-peg, then holding the
pistol to his head with one hand and
the knife to his throat with the other,
he demanded to know if she refused
to marry him. The words were hard
ly uttered when a brother of the lady
appeared and seized Smith
and disarmed him and brought him
before a justice, whence he was COM
mitted to the prison under strong
guard. He says he only intended to
brighten Eva into giving her consent
to marry him and meant no harm.
