Making It Binding.
[Life.1

"I am lawyers daughter, you know, George dear" she said after George had proposed and had been accepted, and you wouldn't think it strange if were to ask you to sign little paper to the effect that we are engaged, would you?"
 George was too happy to think any thing strange just then, and he signed the paper with trembling hand and a bursting heart
 Then she laid her ear against his mid dle vest button, and they were very, very happy.
 Tell me, darling" said George after a long delicious silence, why did you want me to sign that paper? Do you not repose implicit confidence in my love for you?"
 "Ah, yes" she sighed with infinite content, indeed l do; but, George dear, have been fooled so many times"

County and City MIDDLE.

There is middle between the coun-
ty aud city in to Water street. When
the bridge across the Trinity river was
built. it was the property of n joint
stock company and toll was charged
for crossing it. Some years ago the
county bought the bridge and with it
went fifty feet of ground in front of
the bridge on this side Of the river and
the turnpike Oh the other side con-
structcd ~ the bridge company. Wa
ter street runs along the front Of the
river and right up to the front Of the
bridge. a few months ago the city
granted the right of way through Wa
ter street to the Gulf Colorado Il San
tn Fc railroad company to construct a
switch Of their road over to a junction
with the Texas e. Pacific on Pacific
avenue. The road went to work a
short time since putting in said
switch and yesterday afternoon Mr..
Hanson foreman of the gang of work
men with five men were at work i'm
mediately in front of the bridge. A
Mr.. Cotes who lives in the country
seeing them at work there went and
made affidavit against Hanson and the
five men charging them with obstruct-
ing the public highway. They
were arrested yesterday afternoon
and put under bonds Of $3.50 each
with Messrs. Jules Z. Schneider and
VIC. Conner as surcties for their mp
pearance to answer the charge in the
county court this morning. There has
been considerable dissatisfaction and
complaint on the part ofcitizens in the
country on account of the construc-
ton of this switch, they declaring that
passing engines and trains will make it
dangerous to them and their teams in
crossing the bridge, as their teams are
liable to get frightened while on the
nTltpt. iHu. luIihtihioit. ihcN "iN
liable to be run over by trains. The
railroad company proposes to keep n
watchman at the bridge. and contends
this will remedy the evil complained
of. The principal question at issue is,
has the city the right-oi-way for Water
street through the fifty feet i'll front OF
the bridge now owned by the county
If so. can the railroad company be
stopped from building its switch. the
city having granted il the right-of-way
through Water street: The county
authorities claim they have never
granted the city the right-oi-way for
Water street through said fifty feet OF
its property Even this may be so, but
if the bridge company grm!ieG said
right of-way before il sold the bridge
and ground TO the company, or if the
right-oi-way was legally obtained for
said street before the bridge was built,
can the county interfere?
