Special to the Gazette
AUSTIN, TEX, April 2s.-The Comp
troller deposited to-day S250S to the &C
count OF the available school fund.
While Mrs. E. D. Walker, Of Third and
Trinity streets, accompanied by Mrs. W.
Turner, vile Of the engineer of the deaf
and dumb asylum, were out riding in the
vicinity Of Fairview Park their horse
became wild and ran away. In his mad
career the frightened animal dashed
wildly along the road contiguous to the
park, upse,ting the buggy and throwing
Its terrur-stricken inmates vio-
lently to the ground. In the
collision Mrs. Walker sustained
very serious and perhaps fatal injuries,
having broken her left arm between the
wrist and elbow and also her right arm
| between the elbow and shoulder, the
former being bad compound fracture.
She also received ugly wounds and con-
tuslons on the face and other parts of her
body, one cash on the face being two
inches long and half incd in depth. Mrs.
Turner escaped with comparatively light
injuries and her case is not serious.

THE CAPITOL I'LL.
The portentous clouds that spread
themselves upon the legislative heavens
last night foretelling . storm had all
cleared away this morning and everything
was as pesceaDle as 8 morning in May.
Instead OF war being made on the capitol
Dill IT was announced thst its friends and
foes had sgreed on certain amendments
which, when they were adopted, would
suit all sorts Of views. The amendments
we're made and the bill as reported else
where in full passed with but one dis
senting vote, that Of Mr.. Bell of Cooke.
THE GEOLOGICAL BILL.
The geological bill prepared by Mr.
Browning and outlined in these dis
patches some days ago, came up in the
House to-day on second reading and
evoked good deal of discussion. Brown
ing, Fuller and Richardson favored the |
passage OF the bill, while PANE and Bell |
OF Cooke opposed it. Mr.. Fuller made |
the speech OF the occasion. He argued |
both the merits of the measure from an |
economic standpoint and the consti.p-l
tionallty OF the bill in calm, deliberate
manner which showed an intimate &C.
qusintance with the whole suojsct. His
remarks we're full of sound logic and re-
plete with biting satire upon the opposi-
ton.
FIGHT OVER THE CAPITOL GROUNDS.
The bill appropriat ng money to be
used In clearing away the debris In the
capitol grounds also prod uced good |
ceal OF discussion, during which Bell of
Cooke stepped somewhat out of his way
to animadvert on the people of that por-
ton of the state which recently suffered
from drouth. His remarks were In reply |
to Colonel Baylor of Ell Paso, who had
criticised the existing disposition to cut
all appropriations down to the lowest
possible notch. Bell recalled to mind
the fac. that Colonel Baylor came from
that section OF the country for whose
support other sections had been taxed,
and though the people of that country
should go to work and raise themselves
above the position OF psupers before crit
icising other people for niggsrdliness.
THE UNIVERSITY DEBT.
In the Senate this morning Senator
Simkins made an elaborate argument in
favor OF the appropriation 10 the univer-
sity. He WAS enrsptured with his subject
and his speech WAS very in teresting to
those desiring information on the subject.
The Senator is entitled to the floor whtn
the bill comes up sesin and will then
continue his speeches.
During Senator Simkins' speech SEN
ator Gregg arose and expressed doubt
the constitutionality of max
ing an appropriation TO pay the debt in
CURED by the state In support of the re-
bellion.
Senator Burgess jumped to his feet and
wanted to know to what rebellion
Senator Gregg referred and when Texas
ever took part In any rebellion. The
question somewhat discounted the states
man from Anderson, and he has not yet
replied.
THE CORsICANA Asylum.
The bill appropriating 100000 for
building and equippiug the orphan asylum
at COrsicans met with email opposition
in the Senate which body 1t will certainly
pass. Its fate In the House cannot be
foretold. The probability is, however,
it will not pass.
1t is not thought that s154, 600 will be
the sum agreed on as due the University.
