An Exhaustive Report on the Finances
OF Collin County-The Condition Emil
nently Satisfactory.
MCKINNEY, juno 19.-[Special.]-In
the District Court the jury in the case
of Hendricks VS.. Horton has been out
two days with no hopes OF an agree
ment.
Blacks heirs vs.. j. G. Degrees Is on
trial before j. M. Pearson, special
judge.
The habeas corpus trial of A. P. Sag
nat, from GraysOn County, is set for
hearing before Judge Maltbie tonight.
At the request of the grand jury,
presented in open court last week,
Juds Maltbie appointed Captain T. M.
Scott, r. T. Seay and f. III. WEIGH q
finance committee to investigate the
financial condition OF Collin
County. They have been en-
gagged at work since Monday
morning, overhauling the records Of
all officers of the county. They re-
port that the examination of the treas
ury department of the county has
been "thorough and exhaustive" and
extending back during the last three
years of Treasurer Bagley's term OF
office, during which time he has re-
ceived the sum of $lS5, 558. % and dis
bursed tho sum OF $l74, 065.01, as fol-

The committee further say that they
have personally inspected all reports,
and during his term of office, extend
ing over three years, and covering an
expenditure OF $l74,065.01, and that
Treasurer Bagley reports and accounts
on hand the sum of $90.S7 more than
they can trace into his
hands, due, probably from
a failure OF some justice to report
money paid into the treasury. OF
the Justices of ths peace, F. j. Vance
made no report; Il, +. Eakle bad
one; III. =, Rike the largest sum of
money collected, $796; j. p. Page the
next, $3.50.
TIE report is lengthy and volumin:.
Gus one, and the figures and tabulated
statements contained in it show that
beyond question in Colonel l.. w.
Oglesby Collin County has an able and
faithful collector, and in W. M. Bagley
a treasurer who guards well the
money OF the county entrusted to his
care. In no department has anything
meriting criticism been found.

The Dolphin.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-It is cur
rentIy reported that the naval adj
yisory board will ask for an investiga-
ton into the propriety of its action
with respect to the construction of the
Dolphin. The board has not received a
copy OF the report Of
the Dolphin examining board
and has given the subject
no attention. 1t is not likely any
course will be decided upon. The Of
fetal copy of the examining boards
report Is received and 1t Is probable
that it will also await the reply of tn o
attorney genera. to the letter ofthe Sec
rotary of the navy.

another opium seizure.

From information received by Marshal
Soper, he paid a visit yesterday about
noon to house on Smith street, occ u
pied by Chinese. Officer Mehrtens ac-
companied him. Approaching the house
they saw sitting outside on the veranda
two Chinese women and two men. Before
the Marshal could get one foot onto the
veranda, one of the women jumped up
and rushed into the house. The Marshal
followed her in a quiet manner and
noticed that she took package from a
table, and throwing it onto a bed,
covered it over with quilt. Marshal
Soper surprised her by lifting up
the quilt, and there found thirteen half
pound tins of opium. On the floor, in a
basket, another tin was found. The
house contains three rooms. The
Marshal found in one of the other rooms
two Cinnamon, and on a table a horn
nearly full of opium. The two men and
the woman were arrestedand taken to the
Station House. Had the Marshal ar
rived one hour earlier he would have
found one hundred tins.

Gordon's Queer Religious Views.
IEnraicn Latter

Gen. Gordon had queer religious views.
He held that the fruit of the original ap-
pie eaten by Eve still affected the blood.
and contended that the virus could only
be subdued and counteracted by frequent
participation in the bread and wine of the
sacrament But so material view did he
take of this rite that he thought the more
a man could INCEST, in quantity, of the
consecrated food the better would be his
chances of expurgating from his physical
organism the poisonous corpuscles of the
forbidden apple.
Having foreseen that there would be
little or no opportunities of receiving the
sacrament in the Soudan, Gordon re-
solved to take as much as possible of the
sacred elements before starting. He
therefore occupied himself the Saturday
before his last Sunday in England in as
certaining the hours at which commun-
ion would be administered in the various
churches within reach of the place where
he then was, and, rising early Sunday
morning, he went from church to church
in turn, partaking of the sacrament in
each, and thus received the elements some
half-dozen times in succession, beginning
at o'clock a. m. and ending at midday.

The Onern Project.

The weather yesterday interfered a
good deal with the work OF enrolling sub
scribers for the opera season at Wise
mans, it being altogether disagreeable
day. Despite this drawback, however,
about seventy tickets have been sub
scribed for, and several leading citizens
have taken lists, and will make can
vass among their personal friends and
acquaintances. In addition to this, at
the request of Signor Farini, Mr.. James
Simmons will take around list and
make personal canvass to-day through
the business blocks OF the city. We
can only repeat our hope that these
united efforts may prove to be successful,
for unless the requisite amount be
guaranteed to cover expenses it would be
manifestly imprudent for Signor Farini
to bring down an opera troupe. Indeed,
such thing is simply out of the question.
The price fixed for a season of seven
operate performances, $40, is very
moderate and within the reach of almost
every one.

A Crab Race.

II saw crab race once, "'put in one of
the listeners at was on the west coast
of England There had been a good deal
of discussion in London as to whether
crabs had any sense, and some one sug-
gested that trial be made, and a good
deal of cash changed hands on the result
The trial was to test the homing instinct
A man by the name of Carew, a sport
ing character, made wager that crabs
dropped overheard ten miles from where
they were caught would find their way
back within five days. I heard after
ward that he won over $500 on it, and it
was tested in this way: Five bushels of
crabs were caught at certain place and
all marked and dropped over ten miles
down the coast In three days some of
the marked crabs were back, and in less
than week they were caught every day,
showing that they could find their way
back with just the same ease as a pigeon.
heard later that the sporting man had a
sure thing, as he had hired some crabbers
to try the same thing month before.

FIFTEEN THOUSAND MORE.
Another winner i'm the Louisiana
Lottery.

It appears that two of the one-tenth
coupons of the ticket No. 81 ,106, which
won the $3.50, 900 grand prize in the June
drawing of the Louisiana State Lottery
were held in this city. The Woodward s
Garden performer, Naomi, who held one
of the coupons, made no secret OF his
good luck, and let several of his friends
share literally the result of his fortunate
investment. The holder of the second
coupon, however, prefers to remain I'M
known, and no efforts to discover his
identity have thus far been successful.
The coupon was sold to an employee of
Wells-Fargo, named R. w. Tucker, about
week before,the drawing. When inter
viewed yesterday, Mr.. Tucker said:
81 collected the $4,000 Yesterday in
this office for the person for whom 1
bought the coupon. He does not desire
his name known, and consequently 1 am
not at liberty to furnish you with it -
More than this Mr.. Tucker would not
say.
An amusing incident of the collection
of the $15, 900 was furnished by the man
who sold Mr.. Tucker the coupon. He
was out of the city when he heard of the
fact that the coupon held by Mr. Tucker
had drawn the $15, 900, and hurried to
the city in order that he might come in
for any of the gifts which the lucky
owner might be inclined to give to the
seller of the coupon. The agent hung
around the money counter of Wells
Fargo's express Office all day Tuesday, and
at last saw Mr.. Tucker present an order,
which was cashed with an imposing pile
of greenbacks, which counted up $15, 0OO
Mr.. Tucker, observing the agents ex-
pectant looks, informed him for the first
time that he was simply acting for a
third person, and the bunch of money
was methodically slowed away in safe.
The agent watched the big pile of money
disappear, and then turned away sadly
with the remark that he might as well
have stayed up in the country
