Whose Tool Is He?

Jas. L. Giles, whoever he is, takes
up the cudgels in defense of a jury of
ignOramuses who rendered verdict
of not guilty in the Duval pistol carry
ing case in the district court, and
charges the reporter who wrote it
knew nothing of the case, and slurs
that he did not truthfully report the
same.
1t was proven that Duval was not
threatened by anyone, but John Bow
ers, and it was not proven that he was
threatened by him. 1t had only been
told so and that was long time be-
fore the Stappenbeck case happened.
He could plead no justification for the
carrying of the pistol. Again, if the
jury was so fair, why did six Of them
pull off their coats in the jury room
and say they would stay there until
"their man" was acquitted?
If Giles, or anybody else, wants to
know any more about this reporters
right or wrong report Of this case,
Judge Noonan, any lawyer, even de-
fendant's lawyer, anybody intact, ex-
cept the jury, will tell them, and
they will receive an intelligent an
swer and reason as to the correctness
of his report.

the Belknap Rifles.
Last night the Hon. A. w. and Mrs.
Houston rendered a reception to the
Belknap Rifles at their residence, on
Travis park, in honor of their victo-
ries at Austin, and it is no figure of
speech to say thatit was one of the So
cial successes of the season. Many of
our delightful girls were there, some
charming visitors graced the scene,
the Belknaps were there in strong
force, the San Antonio Rifles were well
represented and many popular citizens
were present.
The rooms were most tastefully dec
ocrated for the occasion. Entering the
hall, one saw the walls decorated with
the Texas star, the initials "B. r."
and the legend Welcome" stack of
arms ornamented with the stream
ers the boys have won and
crowned with laurels and flowers,
flags, flowers, evergreens, etc.
The dining room was most tasteful
ly decorated in a similar manner and
the tables were ladened with good
things prepared by the ladies to salts
fy the inner man, and tickle the pal
ates of the visitors, and others of them
presented an equally gala appearance.
There were prOmenades, tete-et-tete,
dancing to ZOttarelli's ban d, and vari-
GUS sources of amusements that gratifi-
ed and pleased all and made the COM
pany grateful to Mr.. and Mrs. HOus-
ton for their pleasant entertainment.
Mrs. Houston received her guests
with that cordiality that has made
her so popular with her friends, and
YVES assisted by the Misses Octavia
and Lillian Proctor, Miss Bendetta
Moore, Miss Zodie Booth and Miss Ida
Tobin, of Austin. Mr.. Houston was
also busily engaged in attending to
the comforts of the guests.
Among those present were Mrs. b.

Not want the Dummy.

The citizens on upper Main street do
not want the dummy, and are getting up
petition praying the Council not to
grant the application. That portion OF
the city through which the City Railway
Company wish TO run the steam dummy
is as thickly inhabited as any portion OF
it. Hundreds of children are constantly
in the street, and are passing all the day
going TO and coming from the public
school on Main and Lombardy streets,
and the danger Of accidents will be i'm
minent. Besides, the ringing of the
huge bell. the noise of the escaping
steam. the dirt and smell of the smoke, and
the soaring OF horses will render living
on the line of the road unbearable. The
Council would not for moment listen to
a proposition TO run steam-cars on Broad
street and as the citizens on Main street
have equal rights the application ought
10 be denied at once. The people whom
it will affect are indignant that such
privilege has been asked, and cypress

LAWYERS DISPUTE.

At this point in the testimony Mr.
Edgar Allan, counsel for Mr. GOdsey,
the accused, asked the witness: Did he
hold his arm up to ward off the blow OF
the chair as ho drew his pistol?
Witness: Yes.
Commonwealth Attorney: What is
that, Mr. Allan?
Mir. Allan repeated the question.
Mr.. Witt objected to tins cross-exomi-
nation. lie did not think the inquest
WAS the forum for counsel TO ask sug-
gestiye questions which would not be
admissible III court.
MIR. Allan said he did not consider the
question an improper one
The witness here withdrew his asser-
tion about when the pistol was drawn,
for he was not sure whether the pistol
drawing had preceded or followed the
attempted blow with the chair.
NJ. Witt SAID he understood nm in
Guest to be to find ont how person
came TO his death, not to try anybody.
IF this cro,s-examination continued,
there would be no telling when the in
quest would end.
