The people of this section are perfectly
horror-stricken at the last two murders in
Austin. It seems to be unaccountable,
and, heretofore, unheard of, that citizens
should be butchered in their own houses in
a populous city, and nobody to protect
them, or arrest and punish the murderous
fends.
It seems that the people will haye to
abandon the city and fly elsewhere for
safety, if such crimes cannot be stopped
or at least, the criminals be punished. II
is certainly very damaging to the pros
perity of the city. Some people who con-
templated buying property and settling
in Austin have entirely abandoned the
idea, on account of the frequent and mys-
terious murders. And it is said that the
reason there are now attending the uni
versity only half the young ladies that at
tended last year, is because people are
afraid to send their daughters there. It
seems that the citizens ought to stop the
slaughter, if they have to keep sentinel
at every house.

Grower.
They may talk of trails and rumors of
trails, but in few years the cattle leav-
ing Texas for the maturing ranges of the
northwest will go at the rate Of fifteen
miles an hour, and fifteen to car. They
will leave Texas after feeling the fullness
of the early grass, and reach Montana in
time to greet its springing juciness in
those parts. They will be held separate
aud apart from thsAnatives for ninety
days and then be turned~out on the range.

diction, or else why do Montana ranch

We call attention to the dissolution no
tice in this issue of the firm of Bugbee d.
Nelson. Mr.. Nelson represented one
fourth in behalf of Finch, Lord & Nelson,
of Burlingame, Kan, in the well known
Shoe Bar ranch, Hall and Donley coun-
ties, and sells the same to Mr.. Bugbee for
something over 100000. Iu part pay
ment he takes the Bugbee pasture of 1000
acres on the Arkansas river, ten miles east
of Dodge City, Kan. The very satisfac-
tory price received for the cattle, $23 per
head, and the aggregate value of the ranch
is evidence of the confidence yet held in
good Panhandle properties. Mr.. Nelson
will still do business at the old stand, how
ever, and will remain in this country to
look after the interests of his firm, who
own a choice pasture of some 100000
acres, lying just east of the Shoe Bar
ranch, in Hall county. This is now
stocked with blooded cattle, and will be
developed to its fullest extent of useful

A STRANGE MANS WILL CON
TESTED.
Edward s. ssnborn. who Led Dual Life
and Founded a Seminary.
FROM TIE PhHddelDhid Tunes.

From the PhiladelDhiG Times.
| Boston, Nov. 1.-THE first legal step
in disposing of the property of Edward 5.
Sanborn and Julia A. Hilton, the strange
couple whose story of dual life was told
few weeks ago, was taken to-day in the
Probate Court.
Sanborn and Miss Hilton, his mistress,
made fortune by keeping brothels in this
city, and devoted their property to the
promotion of the cause Of religion and
education in Kingston, n. H., Sanborn's
native town. MISS Hilton died in April
last, leaving over $50, 0OOto Sanborn. SAN
/ born died in September, leaving the bulk Of
his property, between $20O.OOO and $2oO,-
OOO, to the academy which he founded.
1t was announced that both wills would
be contested. Sanborn's will is contested
by Dartmouth college and his legal heirs
on the ground that he was of unsOund
mind when it was made, in April, 1888.
The will is on fle at Exeter, n. h., and
the trial will take place there in few
weeks. If the will is overthrown pre-
vious testament. bestOwing $4,000 on
Dartmouth college and the rest upon his
natural heirs, will supersede it.
Miss HiltOn's will, 1t was announced,
would be contested by her legal heirs, on
the ground that she was unduly influenced
sisters live near Wells. Me. Her will be-
queaths them certain real estate in Maine
and $1,000 or $4,000 each. Since the con-
test has been pending Augustus Russ has
been special administrator OF the estate
and it has been appraised at $4,000. A
hearing on the merits Of this case was as
signed for to-day before Judge McKim,
but when the matter was called it was an
nounced that the case had been comprO-
missed and that there would be no further
opposition to the probating OF the will.
One or two witnesses to the instrument
were Examined in the usual form and the
will was proved.
Mr.. Russ, who will be appointed ad-
ministrator, is also special administrator
of the Sanborn estate pending its settle
ment. SanbOrn's property, received from
the Hilton bequest, was recently APP
praised at about $4,000. With Miss
HiltOn's property added it will amount to
about $220,000. The compromise trans
fers all the litigation to the New HGmp-
shire courts. 1t will there be determined
whether or not SanbOrn Seminary will re-
ceive the bulk OF the combined estates.
The seminary, by the way, has not been
opened, and will not be pending the de-
cision upon the disposition of this proper
ty. The Institution has no other endOw-
ment than its fine building and grounds.

THOUGHT SHE WAS A LAWFUL
WIFE.
Discovery of a Woman who Wanted
$500, coo for the LynchinG of her Hus-


band.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Nov. 19.-Green
Mccullough, a desperate known all
through Southwest Texas, stood outside
the open door OF a barroom about a year
ago, and seeing a man inside with whom
he had quarreled, raised his Winchester
rifle and shot him down. His victim was
one Bright. In his dying declaration he
said that by the flash of the gun he recog-
niZed Mccullough as his murderer. Nc
Cullough was arrested and put in Jail.
Next morning the most prominent and
wea thiest men Of the tOwn-bankers,
merchants, lawyers. doctOrs-attempt-
ing no disguise, went to the Jail, took Nc
CullOugh out, and after hearing what he
had to say, hanged him.
About six months afterward his wife,
who is handsome woman with two inter-
esung children, acting on the advice of
San Antonio lawyers, brought suit against
100 Of the residents of Lasalle county for
5000, 900 damages. John A, Kerr, a banker
of COtulla, was made chief defendant.
Able counsel was employed on both
sides.
When the case was called the plaintiff
produced number Of unimpeachable wit
nesses, and cOnclusively proved that the
ueieHudHlS were Lue SldyeIS Ol Mctul-
Tough. The defense introduced three wit
nesses, who testified that mccullough was
a married man when they first knew him
twelve years ago, six years before he
came to Lasalle county; that he had mar
RED in the East, and that his first wife
and two children were still living.
'rhis closes our case" said the chief
counsel for the defendants; "the plaintiff
was never McCullough's lawful wife and
cannot recover"
She did not get cent. She had lived
with Mccullough for five years, and never
for a moment suspected that their marital
relations were otherwise than correct.
The prospective owner OF great sum of
money. she saw herself reduced to a pen
niless and dishonOred woman. McCul-
lough's relations say the woman was his
only wife.

MALONE AND THE NEGROES.
How the Hypocrito Changed His Party
and Plans.
FROM the NdshUille Union

From the Nashville UaiOn
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-The average
Virginian halls with delight the report
that Senator Malone is going to remove
from that State. Probably the report is
untrue, but he halls it all the same, for
your average Virginia Democrat hates
Malone cordially. They say of him that
his profession in the past few years have
been entirely hyDOcriiical.
''rhe fact is" said one OF them talking
to your correspondent yesterday, "Ma-
hone had always been one OF the worst
negro haterS In our State until be saw his
opportunity 10 use the negroes for his own
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Then he became one of
their most ardent supporters. Why, l
remember only a few years ago when he
was so outspokeh against them that he
was willing to resort to any means to de-
fraud them Of their votes. | remember
one case in which he hired 200 Of them ard
put them TO work in a coal mine the dav
before election, ard deliberately pulled up
the ladders so as TO prevent them coming
out to vote on election day. % an
other occasion he gave out word that
there bad been great land slide or some-
thing or other on bis railroad, and hired
800 more 10 90 to work there. Then when
he got them so lar away from home that
they could not walk there on election dav.
he ordered the engineer 10 lay up his train
and keep them there until the election
was over. That is the sort Of man he was
until he wanted 20 use their votes. Then
he turned around, invited them TO his
home, and filed mis- parlors with them.
and himself and wife poured out the
champagne for them. That Is why the
Nirginians hate Malone SO; because they
know bow entirely untrue are his politi-
cal professions,

HowTHETREAsURY ROBBED
Millions Paid Out for the Redemption OF
Duplicate Coupons and Greenbacks.


Duplicate Coupons ard Greenbaeks.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The officers of
the present administration are very quick
to discover the shortcomings OF their pre-
decessors, and numerous suggestions are
made by them of much needed reforms,
not only in regard to civil service
changes, but in the manner OF conducting
the routine Of business, so as to secure
greater economy and protection against
fraud upon the government. A prominent
treasury official SAID to-day that tae
method OF keeping books and files and or
conducting the general office business IN
the departments had not kept pace vita
the times, but is the same as that IN vogue
when the government was first organized.
No matter how inconVenient, the old
methods have been transmitted from adj
ministration to administration, while the
methods In private business have been
constantly improving. some OF these
methods have cost the government mil
lions Of dollars, not only in the way OF in
volving greater expense, but because
they give opportunity for actual fraud
upon the government.
For instance, as Gen. Rosecrans, the
present Register of the Treasury, said to-
day. no precautiOn whatever is taken to
prevent the duplication of bonds or treas
ury notes should the plates tall into dis
honest hands, and he says the govern
ment has paid out millions of dollars IN
the redemption Of bonds and notes which
have been taken from true plates. In 1871
duplicates Of coupons on bonds amount
ing TO over $l3,000,000 were discovered.
and as they bore the signature of Jay
Cooke Il Co. they were paid by the de-
partment. These coupons were undoubt-
eddy taken from the true plates. 1t is i'm
possible to tell the amount of greenbacks
which have been redeemed by the govern
ment which were fraudulently taken from
true plates. A record is kept of the re-
demptiOn of bonds by number and desig-
nation and of their cancellation, but no
record is kept OF greenback notes. Con-
sequently, there is no way to prevent the
redemption of any number Of copies OF
the same bank note.
When private bank contracts for the
printing Of its notes, the contractor is
made responsible for any Implications,
and if a duplicate is discovered the con-
tractor is TO pay for it. But the govern
ment has no recourse. The General sug-
gests that the present administration
should begin a new series Of notes, with
all the modern improvements as to paper,
style and form, and that precautions SIM
liar to that adopted by private banks
against Implications should be taken.
