The curse Of the saloons in Austin

are afraid their business might be Injured

The temperance workers of Austin are
settling down to active temperance

THE UNIONS.
The Women of tue Union are just
exactly right in refusing to patronize an
ice dealer who goes on saloon bond.
What is the use Of building up man who
will tear down their work? The ice man
probably lies when he says that he has
given more to the Union than the profits
made from sales to them as individuals;
but even if true, he could we'll afford to
give them ice in order to repress their
opposition to his double desliag on .

which was doubtless why he acted so
generous, or selfish rs the truth may be.

THE CONSUL TO PRAGUE.
A BIT OF INSIDE DIPLOMATIC HIS
TORY OF THE TINE.

Chicago, January 16.-The Daily News has a
Washington special, which says Charles Jonas, of
Madison. Wisconsin, was nominated by the pres
iden to the consuship of Prague April Is, 1885.
Mr. Jonas is a native of AustrO-Hungary, but has
lived in this country number of years. The Aus
trian government refused his eXquatur, without
further explanation. Some weeks ago the secre-
tary of state telegraphed Consul General Jassen,
at Vienna to go to Prague, and learn the real cause
of Austria's refusal to receive Mr. Jonas.
Mr.. Jassen s report was received at the state de-
partment to day. He says the feeling against Mr..
Jonas was adroitly worked M by the latters pre-
decessor, Z. \. Phelps. of Massachusetts, who he
lieved the withholding of Jonas exquatur would
result in the retention of himself and his vice
consul
Inquiry developed the fact that Mr.. Phelps, dur
ing his residence in Prague, identified himself with
the German and anti-czarian element, and it was
this element which set on foot the charges against
Jonas. After the Germans entered the fed as
champions of Phelps and accusors of Jonas, the
insisted that it would be an insult to the Bohemi-
ans if Jonas should be dsgraded by the refusal of
Austria to accept him. The question became at
once a political one and the fight ragged hot and
furious
Meetings were held by both parties; the question
was submitted to the members of the Bohemian
legislature, and Count Taffe, prime minister, has
been threatened in turn by each party in case he
disregarded their wishes.
There appears tosbe no doubt, in Mr.. Jassen' s
mind, that Count Taffe, in refusing Mr.. Jonas eX-
quatur, was influenced by what is regarded as the
political exigenCies of his administration, and gave
no heed whatever to tie courtesy of this govern
ment.

HENRIETTA, Texas January 16.-William Tay-
Tor, being somewhat under the influence of liquor,
went TO his home in this city about 2 O'Clock this
morning and began quarrel with his wife and
children. TAYLOR soon flew into bad state of
feeling, and took his pistol preparatory to killing
his family. They succeeded in taking it from
him, and then he said he was going to kill them
anyway, and took his wife by the hair with one
hand and pair of scissors in the other, as if to
cut her throat While in this attitude her son
Tom, about ID years old got hold of a rifle and
shot his father through the breast the ball enter
ing one side of the breast and coming out on the
other. The wound is not thought TO be fatal
Immediately after Taylor was shot he grabbed the
gun from his son and attempted to shoot some one
of the family. The musket was thrown down
by some one of them, and the weapon was fired,
shooting one of his daughters through the calf of
the leg. This daughrer is about grown. Taylor is
now sober and gives his son Tom credit for the
bravery he displayed in defending his mother and
brothers and sisters Tom is ready to be tried at
any time as he feels justified in doing what he did
Taylor is in bed. His examining trial will come
up as soon as he gets out which will be before
long, it is thought. The wife stated that Taylor
said that he was ready to die himself and that he
would do as he pleased with his family, and that
he would kill them all and then kill himself,
After he had shot his daughter he told them she
was killed. and tried to pursuade his wife to let
him loose. She, thinking that he was only wanting
to get chance to kill Them continued to hold him
with the empty gun in his hands until she could
send for some of the neighb0rs. The citizens say
if Tom ought to be punished at ALL it should be for
not making better shat

GOLD DISCOVERED.
A BONANZA WHICH HAS SUDDEN.
LY TURNED UP.

Special Telegram to The Statesman.
Fort WORTH January 16.-News is just received
from Leaky, in Edwards county, which says there
is considerable excitement there over the discov-
cry of gold mine in Edwards county, about fifteen
miles north of Leaky. The mine is located on Kent
creek, atIibutary of the west prong of the Friro
river. The mine was discovered two or three
years ago by man by the name of Daugherty, but
not believing it worth working he did nothing with
it, He, however, informed his brother of the dis
coyery. A short time ago Daugherty died, and his
brother decided to have the ore tested. He got a
Mr.. Cox and Mr.. Blair-the former an old silver
miner in New Mexico, and the latter of eight years
experience in the California gold mines-to exam
inc it. Both pronounce it to be gold quartz The
ore has been assayed by three different assayists,
and is said by them to yield from $GS to $500 per
ton. Thirteen claims have been staked off
number of miners have started TO the mine from
Uvalde The prospectJrs refuse to sell at any
price, and are going to put up machinery and a
crusher and smelter right away, The amount of
ore seems to be nexhaustable, and if it proves to
be as good as the samples tested it will indeed be
bonanza to the owners. Edwards county is south
of the central part of the state not far from the Rio
Grande river.
