FREE GAS.
Mic. Tenggs and Gus Duerlers Classy
Connection.

One of the richest jokes of the season
came to light Thursday evening. For 10
years Mic. Tengg and Gus Duerler have
been neighbors, and always on the best
terms. Constantly has Gus Duerler been
complaining of the excessive gas bills,
while Mic. Tengg would reason with him
that he must be mistaken, as his
(Tengg's) bill was always reasonable, and
he thought that gas was nearly as cheap
and much safer than coal oil. About a
ago week Mic Tengg moved out, and his
buildingwas being torn down, prepare
tory to rebuilding. The Gas Company
was notified of the fact and shut off the
gas and took away the meter and fixtures,
but the smell ofgas was very strong still
no one could discover the place of leak
age. Last evening, by accident, Mr..
Duerler found that it was issuing from a
pipe left on his wall. and on investigation
discovered that the pipe led from his
meier. 1t was also found that all the gas
that had been burned in the office and
back part Of Mic Tengg's store all these
ten years past had come through
Duerler's meter. For whole week the
gas has been issuing through half-inch
pipe. This explains the whole mystery.
Mic Tengg has been using Duerler's gas.
How this thing came about no explana-
ton has yet been found, as the pipe lead
ing from Duerler's to Tengg's was invis-
ible in the wall.

SAVED BY A WOMAN.
Heroic Action of a Captains Wife on a
Wrecked and Burning Steamboat.

What one energetic little woman can
do and is capable of doing when she
makes up her mind to it is shown in
the following telegram:
VICKsBURG, Miss, March l2.-The
steamer Ike Bonham, Captain Sargent,
blew up yesterday IL miles below this
city. The mate, william Standre, and
several negroes were killed. Pilot Ed
ward McElroy, Engineer Charles GIraud
and number of deck hands were Sc
verely wounded. None of the bodies of
the drowned have been recovered. En-
gineer Charles Girard Of the steamer,
makes the following statement
had just tried the water in the boiler
and found it scant two gauges. 1 had
left the wheel and gone back in the
cabin to dinner, leaving 5. Il. Andrews
steering. In an instant the shock came.
| was knocked down and hot bricks from
the furnace almost covered me. | saw
Andrews and number Of colored men
in the river. They we're calling
for help. The explosion tore away
the office, pilot-house, chimneys, for
part of the cabin, throwing them into
the river. On deck the result was
equally disastrous. Six deck hands were
blown overheard, only one of whom was
recovered. All on board were scalded
except Mrs. Sargent. Immediately after
the explosion she took command of the
boat, went below, helped to launch the
yawl and commanded those who were
able to rescue those in the river. By
this time the debris around the boiler
had caught fire, and she seized the
draw bucket, drew water and quenched
the flames, after which she took hook
and threw the red-hot bricks over board.
Mrs. Sargent by her heroism saved the
wreck from being burned. She was not
excited in the least and never lost her
presence of mind for minute.
Captain Sargent is said to be in San
Antonio, where he has come for his
health. During his absence his wife has
had the management Of his boats. which
work she has always done successfully.
There was no insurance on the boat
She sank in three feet of water.

A NEW POLITICAL SCHEME.
As Advanced by a Once Most Radical
Republican.

| From the Dallas Intelligencer.
| There is wide chaotic confusion alike
! in politics and morals, in our great Re
public to-day. MobOOray defiantly rears
its hydra-head against law and order;
constituted authority is despised; the
mob with unblushing audacity, assumes
dictatiOn to courts and juries. or usurp's
their place; civil liberty is threatened
with being thing Of the past; cruel and
unheard Ofcrimes continually startle and
shock good and quiet people; party lines
in politics are confused; party names
have ceased to designate any certain
political opinions; greed for office large
ly over-rides conscience, country civil
liberty, and every sacred interest.
In this appalling crisis, the friends of
country and civil liberty are called upon
to rally to the rescue. There are thous-
ands OF true Republicans in Texas, who
will not under any circumstances, sup

This course has engendered in the

The Lights Farmer on johnson Grass

While johnson grass is acknowledged
to be one of the finest and most prOtita-
BILE hay grasses, it is one of the most un-
suitable for lawns. You might almost
as well have sorghum in your yard as
johnson grass, as far as ornament is con-
cerned, and the latter is almost irradiCa-
Bile. There has been some gotten into
Travis park through the use of stable
manure where johnson grass has been
fed. The authorities should take imme-
diate steps towards getting rid of it be-
fore it gers a good fOothold, as it will be
next to impossible to do so after while.
If the beauty of the park is to be pre-
served this matter should receive i'm
mediate attention.
