SAN SABA, July 8.-The burning
dry feason is upon us at last; no raj
has fallen in several weeks, and TIM
drought is noticeable on all vegetae

Dat and wheat harvest is about
over. In some instances the yield has
been for wheat twenty-five bushels
per acre; for oats, seventy-five bushels
per acre. The average will be much
less, especially for oats, as this crop
has been damaged by rains.
A good deal of sickness prevails
throughout the county and town. The
measles has been running its course
for the last three months, while q slow
fever, unlike any fever known here,
in many particulars, is prevalent. The

FROM BRUEGGERHoFF.

Special Telegram to The Statesman.
BRUEGGERHOFF, July 8-To-day
your correspondent drove out among
the farmers of this locality, and found
them all at their accustomed place of
honor, busly pushing their work of
cultivation.
The first man I met was Mr.. John
NARROW. He is the "boSS farmer" on
the McRae farm, though when 1 say
this, do not mean that the other ten
ants are not good farmers, as the con.
verse is true. They all have good
crops Of both corn and cotton, and in
Guiding Mr.. Marlow's crop, have to-
gether, $50 acres in cultivation. Mr..
NARROW talked freely about his pros
pect, and though he would not give
me his figures on the probable yield
of his cotton, he expresses himself as
being hopeful of the result. Last year
he made on part of the same ground
q of bale to the acre, and hi; pros
pect now is much more promising
than they were then on the same date.
His corn, he says, is being affected by
the dry weather, and without rain to
enable it to fill out it will be cut short
of what could be otherwise reasonably
expected. He believes in thorough
work, and that stirring the ground
reasonable depth is benefic-
ial in retaining the moisture.
Mr.. NARROW uses twenty-four inch
sweeps, which are regulated to run
any desired depth in the cultivation of
both corn and cotton.
MR.. c. E. HENRY

entire tract 1000 acres. OF this num-
Der he has 40 enclosed and in very

From the San Francisco Post
In his life and ending, Ralston was
perhaps the typical Californian Of the
early time. In 1847 he began his life
as second clerk on the steamboat COZ
voy (of which G. K. Garrison was cap
tain and main owner, running from
st. Louis to New Orleans. After
various fortunes, in 1649 Commodore
Garrison killed well.knoWn Missis-
sipian in fight, shooting him In the
head just in time to save his own
life. The family of the man he killed
was very rich and powerful one at
that time, and while Garrison did
what he did in clearly self defence, yet
he certainly would have been killed
by some of the dead mans brothers IL
he continued to run on the river. He
therefore concluded to leave the south,
and the California gold excitement
breaking out at that time he went out
there, his clerk, Ralston, following
him. AS might be expected, Garrison
soon became very rich, and established
the firm of Garrison, Fretz Il RalstoD-
After making an immense fortune he
came east to New York, leaving Rails
ton one of the leading financiers Of
that section. His life, adventures and
sad death are too well remembered 70

SUNSTROKE.

What to do For The Patient Until The
Doctor Arrives.
Sunstroke usually comes on sud len
lY with slight or no warning.
The patient is suddenly seized with
pain and a sense of dizziness in the
head, full oppressed feeling in the
region of the stomach, sometimes
nausea, giddiness and dimness of
vision, blood-shot eyes, the pupils be-
ing larger or smaller than natural, hot
dry skin, pulse either slow irregular
and full, or feeble and rapid, extreme
weakness and prostration, and if the
attack he severe, the patient passes
quickly into an unconscious state.
Commissions and rigidity of the
muscles occur in many cases. A ply
stefan should be called Immediately,
delay in this class of cases is exceed
iniy dangerous.
While awaiting the physician, very
gently place the patient in the nearest
cool place, open his clothing to the
waist, rub his body with cool water
and fan him constantly. If the pa
tient can swallow, give him two to
four tablespoons full of whiskey in a
little sweet ce-water. Raise the head
slightly. If the head is very hot, ap-
ply ice or the coolest water to it,

The Soul OF Little Emma Bass Passes
Away From Earth.
"There had whispered a voice,
Twas the voice of their God
love thee, IoYe thee;
Pass under the rod"
The dark angel has again visited
the city, and borne little five-year-old
Emma Brass from our midst. The
cold hand of disease had touched her
cheeks, and the glow of health had
faded, and at six o'clock yesterday
morning, while mother and father
stood over the bedside of the little
sufferer, the same dread hand touched
with ice the youthful heart, and its
pulses ceased to throb; it touched each
wistful eye, and the light of life was
gone.
Playmates will miss their little
companion, but it is upon the weep
ing father and mother-those who
knew her best and loved her most
that the heaviest blow will fall. To
these the only consolation that can
comets the promise He has made, of
life beyond the veil.
The funeral will take place from the
residence of the family, near the Til
lotson institute, at o'clock this after
noon. The little girl was the daughter
of q. M. and Amelia Brass.

Survivors of Waterloo

From the London Telegraph.
Londoners not deeply versed in
signboard lore may be at this time of
day somewhat puzzled to discover the
peculiar significance and appropriate
ness of such signs as the Marquis of
CRANKY, the Admiral Keppel and the
CORVALLIS Arms; but the smallest
boy is aware of the meaning of the
Hero of Waterloo" and what man
ner of Englishman was he whose
proweSS was commemorated in the
Waterloo road and the Waterloo ON

classes = Of English society the

survivor of these heroes is Gen. Right

Result of the Pistol Shots Wednes-
day night,
AT midnight Wednesday night par
ties living on the route in from
Scholtz' garden were reused from
their SAUNDERS by twelve or thirteen
pistol shots fired from carriage or
buggy drawn by a cream colored horse
with light name. A negreSs named
Amanda Peoples, living in the neigh
borhood of Mr. j ohn X. Domains resi-
dence, was shot in the leg, and
number of ladies and gentle
man coming in from the garden
narrowly escaped being shot. Such
outrageous conduct will not longer be
tolerated by the peace-loving, tax pay
ing citizens of Austin.
Mr.. Theodore Hillyer and Mr.. r.
II. Brumby have been arrested upon
the charge of discharging pistols, and
Mr.. Brumby upon a second charge of
carrying a pistol. 1t is understood
that probably another charge may yet
be made, based upon the injuries of
the wounded disrkey. The cases come
up in Justice Won Rosenberg's court
this morning.

Isherwood's Laundry Completely Des-

AT 2:15 o'clock this morning fire
broke out in the rear end of 1sher-
woods laundry, located in the old two
story frame building on Waller creek,
at the intersection of Pecan,
completely destroying the same. The
fire was under such Roadway and the
material so light that the efforts
of the fire department were of little
avail. The only solution to the origin
of the flames is that it was the work
of an incendiary. Two or three per-
sons were asleep in the building at
the breaking out of the fire, but easily
made their escape. The building was
formerly occupied by Still Bros. sad

less of the hour nothing could be
learned of the insurance.

united the lives of Mr.. G. B. Colyer, of
Baltimore, and Miss Bessie Green
wood, of Austin. The church was
crowded with friends of the bride and
groom. AS the couple came up the
aisle Richard Wagner's great wedding
march was played with effect, ana
during the ceremony the low, sweet
tones of the organ could be heard. At
the conclusion of the ceremony, an ell
egant diningI took place at the resi-
dence OF the brides mother, Mrs. G. E.
Stanley. The presents were numer-
Gus and in taste. Mr.. Colyer and his
bride left on the afternoon train for

Barnhart, the lawyer, at his residence
in the neighborhood of Col. Peeler's.
at about six o'clock in the evening,
Thursday, while painting the roof of
an out house, the pins in the comb of
the roof sustaining his support gave
way, precipitating the old gentleman
to the ground. The thigh bone was
broken three or four inches from the
hip joint, and an ankle was also
sprained. Doctors Morris and Taylor
were in attendance, and yesterday

Barnhart, at last reports was resting
nicely, with good prospects of re
covery, despite his age and the inces'
SAINT heat, and hopes to be out again
/ in five or six weeks.

about fifty couples present, exclusive
of the little children. The lawn was

the moonlight was peculiarly attract

notwithstanding the fact that the
house was brilliantly lighted.
The occasion was delightful one.
The Quartette Club was there, and
added much to the evenings enjoy
