That Jail Contract.

The county commissioners yesterday
held public meeting to consider the
award made some days ago to re furnish
the Jail with new cells, doors, locks and
other necessities TO make iteafe.
The Pauly Jail company, whose bid
was the lowest, was represented by Major
Joe H. Stewart, and he was given a pa
tient hearing. In this connection 1t may
be proper to state that the PauIy bid, as
stated by Judge Breckenridge yesterday,
was so indefinite that it was not seriously
considered at all, and did not get vote
In round numbers his bid was $4,000.
Mr.. Gus Wilkes bid was tbs next lowest,
in round numbers $11.000.
The next bid was that of the Diebold
Lock and Safe company; in round num-
bers $4,000, and the award was made to
the last named company, their bid being
considered the best and cheapest.
Their work will be steel with improved
locks in steel cases, while Mr.. Wilkes bio
ca led for iron.
Travis county wants the best, and th'
&C ion of the county commissioners II
providing the very best possible is to be
and will be, commended.

municatiOn between the north and south
side of the Colorado river.
The most populated and wealthy sec
lions of the country are situated east and
southeast of the city, tributary in inter
communication to a bridge at the foot of
Comal street. The building of bridge
at said point would not only induce resi-
dents living in the remOtest portions OF
Travis county, but also the residents OF
BastrOp and Caldwell county, TO make
Austin their principal trading point, as
it would afford a shorter route of travel
over hard, gravely road.
1t would enhance the value of property
in this portion of the city and county
tributary to the bridge; add TO its taxa
BILE values, and al o aid in developing the
natural resources of Travis county, and
add to its population, wealth and pros
perity. The natural growth of the city OF
Austin is eastward, but having insufficient
means of communication it is forced
westward, but unwilling to extend in that
direction, healthy little town has sprung
up on the south side of the Colorado river,
with fair prospect of getting, in short
time, railroad depot facilities, lumber
yards and good business houses to satisfy
the demands of ths southern portion OF
the county.
The people of the eastern part of the
county now appeal to the commissioners
court to grant them relief, and ask that
bridge shall be constructed over the Col
oraao river, at or near the, point men,
toned.
The eastern portions of the city and
county are by far the heaviest taxpayers
and surely entitled to an equal and ade-
quate share of iutercommunication,m more
so as the financial standing of the county
justifies the building of bridge over the
Colorado at once.

BLOOD.
Troubles In the Southern Portion
of the County.
Americans and Mexicans on the
Warpath - The Governor
Asked for Military.

Yesterday morning there was consider
able excitement in official circles over a
report of impending trouble between
Americans and Mexloans in the southern
portion of this county.
In that section there is quite settle
ment of Mexicans, and many of them are
industrious, hard-working and good citi-
zens, and some of them are succeeding in
life remarkably veil.
Thursday, it seems, one of the Mexicans,
and quite prominent oae among his own
race, was arrested on charge of the
theft of horse.
He was carried before justice of the
peace, who placed him under a nominal
bond for his appearance yesterday.
After leaving the Justices he went
home. Then he walked out on the prai-
ries, since which time he has not been
seen or heard of.
When he left home he only expected to
be gone a short time, and not returning
at night, it caused much uneasiness.
The next day, not returning, his folk
and friends made search for him, but
their efforts were fruitless.
His Disappearance was unaccountable to
them, and slowly the impression began to
grow that the Americans had made away
with him.
This excited the Mexican population,
and some of the hot-headed ones, it is
alleged, armed themselves and swore ven
geance on certain persons.
This has caused much excitement in
the neighborhood, and yesterday morning
Mr.. 7. G. Houston called on the governor
and laid the matter before him, and asked
if the emergency required that he have
one OF the military companies ready to &c
out.
The governor referred Mr.. Houston tc
the sheriff and the county peace officers
and until they fail to suppress the trouble
the military boys can keep on drilling al
nights without fear of being sent out te
what may prove CORY field.

VENGEANCE.
A Wife Murdered for Her Life In
Surance.
A Husbands Greed for Gold
Causes the Crime, and Sends
Him to the Gallows.

Two years ago the quiet little wi age of
Huntsville, Walker county, was thrown
into intense excitement by the mysterious
death of Mrs. w. II. Roe. Az investiga-
ton was had, aud foul dealing was sus-
pected, which led to the arrest of her hus-
band. The body was exhum9d, and Pro-
lessor Everhart, of the University, sent
for to make an analysis of the stomach,
which he did, discovering stry Gimme.
Roe was indicted for the crime.
His wife's life was insured in his favor
for $4,000, and he had paid the pre-
MUM on the policy only day or so be-
fore the offense was committed-a few
days after the premium was due.
Mr.. Roe was modest ard highly re-
spected man, and the crime aroused the
people of Walker county to high degree
of excl ement. Roe was indicted Sep
TENDER 7, 1886, and the venue of the case
was changed to Madison county. There
the jury in number disagreed, ten being
for conviction, as is understood. At the
next term of the court in Madison, Pre-
siding Judge Kittrell changed the venue
to Travis county on his own motion.
The people of Walker county were almost
unanimous in their belief in Roe's guilt,
and, when the said change of venue was
granted, the action of the judge was
severely condemned, and few incon-
siderate individuals gave expression to
their feelings by hanging the judge in
effigy.
The charge, however, stood, and trial
had in Grimes county. The jury assessed
the death penalty and the case was ap-
pealed. At the late term of the court OF
appeals in Galveston, the case was argued
on all the law and facts, and the actions OF
the trial court were vigorously assailed,
but the court of appeals held that the
same were correct in every particular, and
affirmed the judgment in all things. Roe
did not plead mistake or accident, but
charged that the two main states wit
nesses were the guilty parties, and that he
never had bought or used any strychnine,
the defense conceding that Mrs. Roe died
from strichnine poison.
Roe was raised in Walker and Grimes
counties, and was born in one or the other
county. He served one or more terms as
city marshal of Huntsville, but was de-
feated for the same Office the day proceed,
ing the murder. He has some very welthy
and highly respectable connections, and
has two small children by his murdered
wife. He is slender in build, smooth
faced, lig ht,sandy hair, cold and impassive
and about 80 years old.
He will probably hang on April 81.
