In adopting the building committee's
report considerable discussion arose over
Mr.. Lackey's suggestion to confne the
bids for the plumbing and steam hitting to-
Delawaresns engaged in the business.
Mr.. Hickman warmly endorsed Mr..
Lscksy 3 suggestion, but the opposition
from Messrs. Bradford, Williams, Coooh,
Springer and Farra was so vigorous that
q resolutiou to that effect was ovetwhelm-
iugly squelehsd,
petition from Philip Gray asking the
board to appropriate him $50 was read,
and resolution that the request be
granted was lost. Mr. Gray's cause was
ohsmpioued by Squire Vsndegrift who
stated that the case was one OF distress,
and there was the greatest need of aid.
The petition set forth that Sheriff Martin
had taken q prisoner John Laws, suffering
with the smallpox from the jail to
Grsy's houss that the sheriff had
gotten permission to take him
to the house from Gray's housekeeper, to
whom he had stated ne did not know
what allied the sick man; that Gray,
upon learning the man had small. pox,
was obliged TO Leave his home, and has
since been unable to get work, aud for
time had no where to sleep.
1t was admitted in the discussion that
the man should bS reimbursed but that
the board had not the power to do it and
Gray should seek to recover from the
sheriff for HE uuwsrrsnted action in re-
moving the prisoner to the formers house.
In the discussion Sheriff Msrtin's course
iu endangering the spreading of small
pox through the city was condemned in
pronounced and emphatic terms. At IL
O'Clock the meeting adjourned.

BRIDGE BLUNDERS.
Some That are Said to Exist In the
New Market street Structure.


IL is stated that the centre pier OF the
new Market street bridge is at least l8
Inches too low aud that in the winter
there will be great danger Of the water
flowing over the pier and fret zing
around the railway upon which
the draw is turned. The bridge con
tractors anticipating this result sent to the
levy court recently, it ia said, written
r,quest that the pier be made l6 inches
higher, bat the request was not granted,
IL is further stated that the conirao.
tors desired to have the draw turned by
means Of an enigne. The levy court
objected when the matter was first sug.
gested, but DOW it is awaking to the fact
that the draw is too heavy for one man
to turn and is asoertaining the cost OF gas
engines. The court it is asserted,
is thinking of placing an engine
on top of the draw. The most
preferable position for ii, however, weu,a

Is worthy Of being recommended to
every one first-class flour, II Ia not
excelled by any other in quality and
taste. This flour IL not claimed to be
patent flour, but IL Is manufactured by
mills that are furnished with all the best
improved machinery, and only the very
best wheat Is used; tho flour not only
contains the starch Of the wheat, but
also the gluten, which secures the origi-
nal strength and taste OF wheat flour.
The real white patent flour contains
very little gluten, and Is, therefore, less
nutritious. Guenther's Best Flour has
been In the market since 1861. and Its
name was never changed. Since then
many different kinds Of flour, with high
toned names, and ornamented with d.
plomas have been introduced into this
market, but nearly all OF them have
silently disappeared. The wheat crop
has been very good this year, especially
In Northern Texas, and the manufac-
turers Of Guenther's Best are now able
to furnish good flour at very reasonable
prices. The flour Is not retailed Mt the
mills, but In order that customers may
have the flour fresh, II is delivered daily
to all leading grooers.
