THE SEARCH FOR TAsCOTT.

A Twenty Thousand Dollar Reward
Offered for the Murderer of Smell.
CHICAGO, September 1S.-A. j. Stone,
speaking of the $4,000 reward offered by
Mrs. Henrietta Smell for the arrest and
detention of VIM. B. Tascott, supposed
murderer of her husband, Amos J. Smell,
said the only object was to clear up, if
possible, the mystery with which the great
tragedy was enveloped. No specially
new claims have been discovered. Ten
thousand dollars reward, which was
formerly offered, failed to bear fruit, and
having been withdrawn by limitation, it
was at the time decided to let the
search for the fugitive remain passive for
awhile in the hope that startling develop
ments which were promised by W. B.
Tascott, father of the young man, would
be forthcoming. Nothing to shed any
new light upon the mystery was brought
forward.
"We now PROPOSE" continued Mr..
Stone, "to keep the subject before the
public for ten years to come, if neces-
sary, to clear the mystery"

as far as possible to the king of Great
Britaius have the governors of the slater
to hold Office for life, and the veto pow 5
vested solely in the president-a great
central head. 1t was Jefferson's democracy
which combatted this idea and maintained
that this government should be a govern
ment of the people. with a proper distri-
button of powers, to avoid unequal taxa
ton and unnecessary burdens upon the
people. Jefferson, he argued, had ele-
waited the standard of democrscy, and his
principles were the recognized doctrines
of the party to day, which presents the
names of Cleveland and Thurman as our
great standard bearers.
As TO the union labor, prohibition and
non-partisan parties, they were but
ephemeraI organizations, destined to
exist only for campaign, and he was as
founded to hear that at the capital of
Texas men of intelligence should profess
to pin their faith to such organize tions,
and still more to learn that intelligent
men, after having participated in the
primaries of their party, should strike out
on what they called an independent line,
to vote against democratic nominees. He
bitterly rebuked men who violated party
fealty to become independent candidates
for the sake of the possible spoils of
Office. Showing what had been done by
the democratic party, state and fedora
in sharp contrast with the history of the
republican administrations of the govern
ment, he did not see how men claiming TO
be democrats could forget such history.
As for himself he would rather belong
to no party than be such a political
nondescript, and urged all who claimed
to be democrats, to vots the whole ticket
from Cleveland down to constable.
Mr.. Finley then took up the tariff ques-
ton, which he argued at length in a very
clear and forcible manner, but at too
great detail to follow his many forcible
points and admirable Illustrations of the
effects and workings of the system. He
rapidly sketched what had been during
democratic and republican administra-
tions of the national government, and
paid high tribute to the I'D minlstration
of our state affairs. Let all, he
added, join in loud acclaim
for the democratic party, headed by
Cleveland in the nation and Ross in
Texas. Applause.
Mr.. E. G. Dickerson, Of the state cleo
torsl ticket, followed in a stirring speech,
and Ex-Governor Lubbock closed with
few remarks, which ended the speaking.

BIG SUIT.
That Cemetery Question Serenely
Bobs up in Court.
Some Very Lively Fun for the
Blessed Council, but Misery
for Taxpayers.

The following case was filed yesterday
in the district court:
Your petitioner, James Il. Raymond, q
resident citizen of the State of Texas,
county of Travis, conn claiming of the city
of Austin andJ. Patterson and Mary
Clare Patterson, li wife, who also resides
in said state and county, respectfully
represents:
That the city of Austin is municipal
corporation, duly chartered, and that by
the provisions Of its charter the said city
of Austin, in her corporate capacity, on
July u, 1886, and long before was and
continuously since said date, has been
fully authorized and empowered to buy,
hold and own real estate for cemetery
purposes; that said right and power to
purchase real estate for such purposes is
without limit as to manner and time of
payment, the said city having full power
and discretion by making such purchase
as to whether shs would pay cash or buy
on a credit, and, if the latter, the extent
to which she would pledge her credit in so
doing,
That on July -, 1886, and continuously
thereafter until October, 1887, John W.
Robertson was the acting mayor and
Milton Morris the acting city clerk OF
Austin.
That on July u, 1886, the city council
| passed the following:
"Resolved, That the mayor of the city
of Austin be instructed to purchase from
J.H. Patterson the 100 acres offered by
him, at not exceeding $40 per acre, on
such terms as he may deem to be for the
best interests of the CITY," Il
| That, in pursuance of said resolution
the city, through John W. Robertson, her
mayor, entered into negotiations with the
said j H. Patterson for the purchase OF
the tract of land, in said resolution re-
ferred to, for the price therein mentioned
the provisions and terms of the agree
ment being as follows:
The said j. H. Patterson and wife was to
sell the land, the city to pay him $40 per
acre, aggregating S16,SOH.
The funds, excepting $500 in cash
from which payments were to bt
made, to be raised by sale of lots in sale
cemetery for burial purposes: The said
sum to bear per cent interest till paid
payable annually on June l of each year
secured by vendors lien on said land.
That said parties believing that sales of
| lots would amount to the sum of at least
81, 400 per annum, the city agreed to pay
$4,000 of said purchase money annually
on June of each year with 8 per cent
interest on all deferred payments, and as
means of expressing and embodyiDg
the contract so entered into by them il
was agreed that the said city would
execute to J. II. Patterson a series OF
notes, eight in number, payable to his
order for $4,000, each bearing per cent
interest payable annually.
That in pursuance of said contract the
| land was decided to the city.

THE CAMPAIGN.
A Large Assemblage and Fine
Addresses Last Night.

A large crowd, including good many
ladies, assembled on the capitol grounds
last night to hear the political questions
of the day discussed by Hon. N. w. Fir
ley and other prominent speakers. Ex-
Mayor Robertson presided, and excellent
music was rendered by the Manning band.
The first address was by Mr.. Finley,
who is chairman of the state executive
committee, and was an elaborate, eloque1
and mastery exposition of state and ma
tional issues. He detailed the history of
the two great political parties, vigorously
contrasting their distinctive policies and
effects upon the state and general gov
eminent. He commended that there were
really but two great parties worthy of
consideration-the democratic and the
republican. The main issue with these
now was the tariff, though their histories
had involved other important govern
mental policies. There are number of
candidates for president, it is true, but
their following is insignificant.
The main idea with the republicans was
Capitalization. 1t was the idea of Alex
ander Hamilton and others who desire our
government TO be fashioned after that of
the Mother Country, and would make the
president of the United States correspond

Mr.. Radam on Another Trip.

Mr.. VIM. Radam and wife will leave
Austin tonight for st. Louis and other
points. Mr.. Radam has the contract to
start three more microbe killer factories,
one in Cincinnati, one in Kansas City and
one in San Francisco. This will make
seven factories, and he intends to start in
all ten factories in the United States, then
he will begin operating in foreign coun-
tries. Mr.. Radam has transferred his
garden here into reliable and competent
hands, also his factory here in Austin is
now controlled by Mr.. Wallace O'Leary,
his former manager.
Mr.. Radam will be back again in few
weeks to help prosecute all frauds and
limitations of his invention. He says the
microbe war will shake up some very ugly
combinations. Well, Austin needs little
excitement; excitement makes life worth
living, especially when it is of harmless
nature.

senseless sensationlism.

A sensless sensational report was circu-
lated last night that yellow fever had de-
veloped in the city of Galveston.
1t was wholly untrue, but it created
some uneasiness among people who have
friends living III Galveston.
To allay this uneasiness the governor
telegraphed to Galveston and last night
received the following:
His Excellency, Governor L. S. Ross, Austin
There is no yellow fever in Galveston, and. has
been none during the present season
HENRY P. COOK,
Health Officer Galveston.
Relative to yellow fever reports the
governor yesterday denied that quarantine
against New Orleans had been raised, as
was stated in special from Galveston
yesterday morning. The quarantine will
be maintained until the governor is salts
fed that no fever cases are in New Or
leans.
Major Holmes, the governors private
secretary, went to Houston last night tc
confer with Health Officer Rutherford.

Last night little boy named Smith,
riding across small bridge over Little
Shoal creek, on West Tenth street, had
his horse to step through hole in the
floor. He fell, throwing young Smith
violently on the bridge, and it was
last night that he was so seriously
injured internally that he may die. His
pony was also badly and perhaps per-
manently disabled.
