SALE OF PRIVILEGES
At Dallas State Fair and Exposition
Grounds.

AS per advertisement the past sew
eral weeks, about three hundred peo-
pie went out to the Dallas State Fair
and Exposition grounds this morning
to attend the sale of privileges for the
two weeks fair and exposition.
Messrs. Marsalis, Sanger and Arm
strong were managing the sale, and a
fine-looking auctioneer cried the bids,
commencing, it is supposed, with the
privilege which was considered the
most likely TO bring the highest price.
The bar stand under the grand
stand was the first offered. The first
bid was $1,000, then $500 and $1,000
were bid, and the privilege was finally
sold to j. Heron, of East Dallas, for
$1,000.
Lunch stand, close by, was sold to
Jacob Menczer, of Dallas, for $3.50,
first bid being 800.
Raw oyster stand, adjoining, was
also bought by Mr. Menczer, for
$1125O.
Cigar stand under grand stand was
bought by T. d. Clark, of Dallas, for
$215
Lemonade, fruit and candy stand
up stairs in the grand st; nd was sold
to John &. r.. Cirrencene for $3.50.
Popcorn stand to same party for
$31.
Peanut privilege to d. T. Morgan, Of
Dallas, for $40.
Then the party repaired to the row
of booths between the grand stand
and main building, where
. Cardboard stand was sold to r.
McDermott for $50.
Shooting gallery put up, run up to
about $50 and was withdrawn.
A colored restaurant was then Of
fered, bids received as high as $50, and
then withdrawn to give the colored
people chance to bid on it.
A saloon stand was then auctioned
off at 1925 to w. M. Barrett, Of Dallas.
These sales consumed the time from
II to 2 o'clock, and the sale will be
continued through the evening and
possibly tomorrow. There are yet
some of the most valuable privileges
to be sold.

OHIO PENITENTIARY INVES-
TIGATION.
Prominent Citizens Charged with
Tampering with the Grand Jury.

COLUMBUS, 0. Oct. 1.-THE grand
jury Of this county reported to-day
finding out two indictments against
ex-penitentiary officials for embezzle-
ment and bribery while in Office, being
ex-Deputy Warden Marnott and ex-
Supt. of State Shops Samuel Perry,
who is brother-in-law of ex-Gov.
Hoadly, and served through his ad-
ministration. There was no indict
ments found in the election forgery
cases at the penitentiary, which the
jury considered for three days, and up
on which great deal of direct testi-
mOny was taken. the feature of the
report of the fury was the address of
the prosecuting attorney, in which he
called the attention of the judge to the
fact that the jury had been tampered
with by those high in social and Off
cial position, and that there was no
such thing as getting justice. In this
connection he held that the poorer
classes received strict attention by the
grand jury, but when it came to those
having influence there was no use try
ing to secure indictments with the
grand jury system in its present con-
dition in this county. The prosecutor
stated that evidence of a most conclu-
sive nature had been placed before the
jury in regard to the forgery cases
and other high crimes, but that moth
ing could be accomplished with the
outside influence which was brought
to bear. He concluded by stating
that he would ask the court to call a
special grand jury, and that he would
have arrested and tried before local
justice the parties connected with the
late election forgery, considering this
to be the only manner in which he
could secure their presence in court
for trial. He also would cause other
arrests of those charged with crimes
at the penitentiary. He expected to
have them bound over so that they
would be in readiness to appear be.
fore the special grand jury which is to
be called.

The Villain May BE Lynched.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct. 1.-THE
village of Livingston, on the Alabama
Great Southern railway, is in a great
state of excitement over the capture of
Bill Bonham, the notorious train
wrecker. Only last week he placed a
half dozen piles of crossties on the
track and in the stock gaps near Liv-
ingston. He was discovered by a
negro woman, who informed the sta
tionmaster just in time to save the
north bound night passenger train
from being wrecked. Bonham was
run down to-day by Detective Tom
Griffin, and placed in Jail at Living
ston. The people of that section are
very indignant, and the villain may be
lynched tonight.

Killed His Wife and Then Himself.

81. LOUIS Oct. 10.-As Josie Mar
tell, pretty variety actress who has
been filing an engagement at Eshers
Theatre Alhambra on st. Charles
street, was tonight about to prepare
herself for the performance, her hus-
band, Frank Sanmeyer, entered the
dressing room and, without a word,
threw one arm about her and with the
other drew dagger ten inches long
and plunged it into her heart. She
broke away and ran into the rear
room, where she fell into the arms OF
Miss Josie Palmer, exclaiming, "Frank
has killed me-" and expired after the
woman freed herself from her grasp,
Sanmeyer turned the weapon and
thrust it into his own breast time and
again, only desisting when seized by
the special officer Of the house. lie
fell and expired in few minutes
Both bodies were removed to the
morgue. The people of the theatre
say there was no quarrel between the
two; that they had always been re-
markably affectionate, and the tragedy
is great surprise to them.

The Poor Farm.

Mr.. Gates, superintendent of the
county poor farm, is in the city this
morning. lie reports the health on
the farm excellent. He has under his
charge nine paupers, four men and
five women, and fifteen convicts, eight
men and seven women. The men are
needed on the farm in gathering the
crop, else they would be with the road
gang. lie has 100 acres in cotton this
year, from which he has already picked
thirty-two bales and will get twenty
bales more. He has also 100 acres in
corn, which is yielding thirty bushels
per acre, and part of which he has
already gathered. The farm is not
only self-sustaining, but makes mar.
gin over to aid in the support of pau
pers. It seems strange every county
has not poor farm. Mr.. Gates has
been superintendent some three years
and he has managed the affairs of the
farm with consummatc skill, rare
economy and excellent judgment and
good sense. -

Street Railway ImbrOgliO.

The Commerce and Ervay street
railway imbroglio is in statu quo. The
writ of injunction sued out by twenty
property owners on Swiss avenue
was issued Saturday afternoon. Be-
fore it was issued, however, some 200
feet or more of grading and track lay
ing was done on Swiss avenue, from
its junction with Preston street to the
crossing of the ii. u II. G.. railroad.
Work is now confined to Commerce
street, through which and Preston
street to Swiss avenue the work will
be continued until completed.
Wednesday, the 18th, is the day set by
the district judge to hear the injunc-
ton for temporary granting or disso-
luton until it can be heard in regular
term time on the merits of the case.
The city engineer in conversation with
a HERALD reporter stated that he had
fixed the grade on Swiss avenue so
that the rails of the track would be on
a level with the sidewalks. This will
necessitate q grading and raising of
the street in the centre, with proper
slopes to cutters. This will make
Swiss avenue a splendid thoroughfare.

District Court.

The district court for this district,
comprised alone of Dallas county, con.
vened for the October term at Q O'Clock
this morning, Judge George N. AID
redge on the bench. The grand jury
was empaneled and duly charged. The
following is the list Of the jury: j. F.
Roland. foreman; o. B. Ledbetter,
Miles Hopkins, John Yeargin, VIM.
Gill, James Britain, Thomas Lacey, B.
f. Bowser, +. ID. Daniels, James Free
man, j. G. Williamson and j. Sache.
The most of the jury live in the coun-
try. All the prisoners in the Jail not
indicted and charged with felonies,
twelve in number, were in the court to
witness the empaneling of the grand
jury. This was done under a ruling
of the court of appeals that a man
charged with a felony, when it was
practicable to have him present at the
empaneling of the jury which would
be called upon to indict him, it should
be done. The court announced that it
would not reverse case on appeal
upon this mere technicality. Yet it
was proper to follow this rule. Sheriff
Smith appointed the following bailifis
to wait upon the grand Jury: Ed. Ran
die, Robert Gracey, VIM. Mann and
James Yenrout. The civil docket will
engage the attention of the court until
The 25th inst, when the criminal docket
will be taken up. In the meantime the
grand jury will be in session from day
to day examining into the cases
brought before it.

During this month Peterson came TO our
house twice. The first time he came he
asked for my father, and said he would
like 10 get employment at Waimanalo.
He could not get along with Mr.. Whitney.
He came three or four evenings after, and

The case for the defense rested here.
a recess of one hour was taken, after
which Mr.. Hatch made the closing aTEu
ment for the defense, followed by the At
torney General for the Crown.
His Honor Justice Preston, in charging
the jury, reviewed the whole of the evi-
dence. He said that an alibi must be dis
tinct and correct in every point. There
must not be one missing link. His Honor
referred TO the 500 loaned 10 Peterson by
Mrs. Walker, which appeared strange TO
him. Walker knew of Peterson's difficult
ties, and II was strange conduct on his
part to allow his wife TO loan the children's
money to man without any hope OF ever
getting il back. Ii you find the prisoner
went in with an intention to steal, and did
steal, he is guilty. If man is let into
building by an accomplice he is guilty of
housebreaking. The Crown must prove its
case. If the Crown has failed, the prisoner
must have the benefit of the doubt. The
jury must render such a verdict that they
can go home To their beds and say, I'VE
have done right
The jury retired at CAB o'clock. At IL 20
they sent communication TO His Honor
to the effect that there was no sign of their
coming TO a verdict.
The jury was called into Court and the
Foreman stated that he believed il was inn
possible for them to arrive at verdict.
He further stated that the principal point
was the acceptability of the veracity OF the
two principal witnesses.
His Honor further instructed them, and
at % they again retired. Fourteen min
uteS later they returned and said they
could not possibly arrive Mt a verdict His
Honor said there was no other alternative
but to discharge them, which he did. They
stood six to six.
His Honor then fixed Walkers bail at
5000, two sureties in 50 500 each. Hon.
j. A. Cummins and Mr.. G. Bolte signed
the bond. The proceedings terminated

The political pot was boiling Saturday.
A meeting was held at the Fish Market,
which was well attended. Several ma
tive orators addressed themselves with
considerable effect to the political issues
of the day. One of them, holding up
bogus half dollar, or ''token, - said: This
is what the Opposition gives you. 1t
gives you lead half dollar for which we
are to get ten cents worth of salt salmon
but the National party only handles
good money The Kalakaua half-dollar
is good money. You can buy fish and
poi with it, and take it home and treat
your wife and children. | viii vote for
the National party and honest money,
and notfor Waterhouse and Carter and
bad money"
This allusion had reference to the dis
tribution the same afternoon of trade
token" at the store of J. T. Waterhouse,
Queen street. The "token" is consider
ably bigger than a Kalakaua half-dollar.
1t is well made, having the rim and
milling like genuine coin. On one side
words, ellis Majesty Kamehameha w."
On the reverse side is a bee hive, sur
rounded by the words: ''John Thomas
Warehouse, importer, Hale Makai."
These tokens were numerous in town ON
Saturday, and it is reported that upon
presentation to j. Kanui, at the Fish
Market, the possessor secured about ten
cents worth of salt salmon. Written or
ders on Kanui for salmon, it is said, were
likewise issued very numerously on ac-
count of the Waterhouse-Carter ticket,
with the result that the market was
cleared of that commodity, although
many of the natives complained loudly
of the quality.
This is the latest of the many Opposi-
ton lodges to catch votes. 1t is not SO
harmless as it looks, however, because
the same evening kanaka rendered the
Waterhouse token at Chinese restaur-
ant in payment of cup of coffee. John
Chinaman, however, refused to accept it
with the Endorsement Of the Carter
Waterhouse ticket, and insisted upon
seeing Kalakaua coin, which was ulti-
mately paid
Messrs. Warehouse and Carter adj
dressed the natives previous TO the
''salmon racket" At the Fish Market
meeting Keau said that tickets having
his name associated with j. o. Carter
and Henry Waterhouse were being dis
tributed. This was a fraudulent trick
and was wholly unwarranted. He was
on the National ticket only. If any man
wanted to vote for Carter and Water
house, he should not vote for Keau.
There was a big political meeting on
Sunday afternoon at the yard of the Cath
Ole Cathedral The balance Of opinion
was largely in favor of the National
ticket. The Parkerites OF Kawaiahao
Church have been resorting TO various
tricky lodges to get votes for the Oppo-
sition ticket, but in vain.

Notice TO Inspectors of Election.

To the Inspectors of Election ia the several Dis
tricts OF the Kingdom:
Inquiries having been made whether persons
who exempt from the payment of personal
taxes by reason Of being clergymen, teachers,
pupils In High Schools, fremen, etc, or by reason
OF being over the age of sixty years, whose
taxes have been excused by the Assessor on ac-
count OF inhrmity poverty, allowed by law
to vote at the election for Representatives
1t is my opinion that all such persons are enti-
tied to vote. The Tax Collector should issue TO
each such person a tax receipt with the words
s'Qnalified to Vote" upon IL, which he must sign,
and In place of the amount Of taxes he must
write exempt" or excused" On the presenta-
ton Of this Tax Receipt to the Inspectors OF Elec-
ton at their sessions previous TO the election the
name Of the voter must be put the list OF voters
and the receipt returned to the voter.
At the General Election 10 be held on the Sd OF
February, 1856, the votes of such persons must be
received, unless challenged for other reasons
