ural ball are pushing the work they have
in hand with commendable zeal. The
friends of the new administration will be
here in full force, and the citizens OF Aus
tin are determined that the inaugural ball
shall be success in the completest sense
of the torn.
At a meeting of the arrangements com
mitsee yesterday afternoon, details were
considered aud matters were placed IN
shaps to insure success to the undertake
ing. Major Littlefeld was made perma-
nent chairman of the committee on ar
rangsments, and General Roberts was
made chairman of the finance committee.
The plan of entertainment comprises the
entertainment of one thousand guests,
and the Driskill hotel should, by all
means, be the place chosen, because of its
roominess, oonveniences, and the fact shat
both ball and supper can be given under
one roof. It is understood that the ball
will be given at the Driskill, and if tias is
true everybody will be satisfied.

The chancel should now be finished in
style appropriate to and corresponding
with the work so tastefully done upon the
sanctuary.

ANARCHIST VENGEANCE.
Gottfried Waller, Who Testified
Against the Chicago Seven,
Narrowly Escapes with His Life From an
Enraced Crowd.

CHICAGO, Oct. ll.-During the late An
arcbist troubles Gottfried Waller was quite
a leader among the men, and when the
trial came on appeared as a witness for
the State, and gave evidence which did
much toward causing the conviction of the
prisoners. Many threats were made against
him. Last night, accompanied by friend,
he entered a saloon at l05 North Wells
street, favorite gathering place of the
Swiss element of the laborers. Some
one said, There is the traitor"
Waller endeavored TO leave the room,
but the crowd followed him with cries of

revolver, shot several times into the
crowd. For moment they fell back. but
soon came up again and attempted TO hang
nlm. Again Waller freed himself and fired
INTO the mass of people. By this time he
was nearly to Chicago avenue, and he ran
ior the police station, Captain Setback
placed Waller in the cell for safety. and
sent squad of men to disperse the crowd
and capture the leaders, if possible IL

Louisville Leaf Tobacco Market


The market has held with considerable
steadiness this week the better action
noticed as developing the last two weeks
preceding. This has applied especially to
Burnley tobacco, all grades of which have
bad a steady, general demand, which, with
out quotably advancing prices, has kept
them more closely to the outside limits OF
our quotations. While the manufacturing
trade is sharing with other lines of business
in the trade revival, the steadily decreasing
stocks are admonishing manufacturers
that they may not be able to afford await
ing supplies from the new crop. Dark and
heavy styles have beel steady, with no
quotable changes in prices, though
low grades appear to be at
tracing more attention in a quiet
way. The first killing frost of the season
occurred recently, and it appears not
wjthstanding an ample weather warming
that in some localities - to y per cent. of
the crop WAS caught in the hills. To what
extent these contingents are injured is not
known; but it sometimes happens that q
very light touch of frost proves beneficial.
The first frost this year was unusually late.
The new crop is not yet moving. We quote
