Death of Mrs. SauIs.

Old Mother Sauls, the mother of Mrs
Martin Allen, of this city, and also of
Messrs. James H. and Charles Sauls, near
Hutto, died at the residence of Martin
Allen on Wednesday, the 18th instant.
Mrs. Sauls was born October 80, 1916, in
the state of Georgia, and moved to Texas
with her fathers family (Dawson), then a
large family, in 1888. Two brothers only
survive her. They were among the early
settlers of old Nashville, on the Brazos
river, then the frontier of Texas.
Mrs. Sauls, with her husband, Chas
Sanls, was also one of the first settlers of
Williamson county, having moved to
Brushy creek in 1856 of '56. Their door
was always open to the weary traveller.
There will be many of the old settlers and
friends who will regret to hear of her
death, as we'll as children, grandchil-
dren and great grandchildren, for she was
mother to them all.-Taylor Texan.
Mrs. Sauls had many acquaintance in
this city among the old settlers, and they
will regret to hear of her death.

The Check Rein.

There is man In Chicago says the Rural and
Stockman, who spends all the time he can spare
from his business in going about among cabmen
and drivers of fashionable eq1ipages remonstrat-
ing against the use of the check rein. He CARR 4s
with him pictures showing the head of man
erked up the head of the horee Is with the check
rein, and other pictures showing the cruelty of the
practice. Now and then he induces man to take
off the check. He requests the drivers of carriages
to ask their employers to do it, and altogether he
is doing good work. Farm horses as rule, are
not tortured by this senseles' appliance But
sometimes they are. The young especially wish
to be fashionable and on the road the head of the
horse they drive is jsrked up in the usual cruel
manner. To say that it adds beauty to the car
riage of horse is not true. 1t is not graceful and
certainly not useful. Throw away the check rein.
To the Editor of the Statesman:
The above applies truthfully to Austin.
we have witnessed the poor horse suffer
ing during long service at church, turn =.
ing his head from one side to the other for
relief.
We do not understand how any chris tian
man can enjoy worshiping God on the
Sabbath and leave his horse thus to suffer
except upon the hypothesis that he has
become accustomed to the cruel practice
without realizing its import. 1t ought to
be modified or abandoned altogether. 1t
is not in keeping with christian progress.

Death of DIR, McGoWn.

The friends and acquaintance of Dr.
w. q. McGown were startled at the an
nounoement of his death yesterday. H
died at his home in this city Sunday a
1880 p. m. Up to the time of his illness
he was in more than usual good health
A short time ago he had a severe stroke
of paralysis, from which he never rallied
Death came to him slowly and painfully
but the end was calm and peaceful.
Doctor McGown was born in Coffee
county, Tenn, December II, 1924. His
father, Colonel John McGown, came to
Texas IN 1885, consequently the early life
OF Doctor McGown was passed amid the
years of Texas trials and struggles for
independence and amid the hardships of
frontier life.
In all that period Doctor MCGOWAN was
ever ready at the call of duty to battle
for his state and home, and
to bear uncomplainingly the ills
and troubles that came upon the
earlier Texans. By dint of hard study
and sacrifice he Yves enabled to graduate
at the New Orleans School of Medicine in
1863. He at once began his profession,
IN which he was most successful, and from |
which he was forced to retire by reasons |
OF failing health. He moved from Hous-
ton in 1876 to this place, which has since
been his home.
Doctor McGown leaves a wife and four
children to mourn his death; also, a sister
and brother, besides numerous friends
who loved and trusted him. Thus there
has gone to his reward a good man, a
tender husband, devoted father, true
christian and right worthy Mason.
His funeral will take place at his resi-
dence on Waller street at 10 O'Clock this
morning, Rev. W. H. Shaw, of the Cum
berland Presbyterian church, officiating,
Of which church Doctor McGown has |
been a member since 1849. He will be
buried with Masonic honors, being a de-
voted as well as distinguished member of |
The craft.

ST. MARY'S ACADEMY.
A Delightful Entertainment by the

st. Mary's academy was the scene of 6
delightful entertainment yesterday after

tors with "a feast of reason and flow of
soul"
The reading OF the first number of "Our

year was made the nueclus of a most in .

spirited reading of the opening march re-
Elected credit upon the Misses Maupin and
q. Moses. The instrumental solo by Miss
Faucher and the banjo duet by the
Misses d. and L. Carr, were equally well
performed and exhibited excellent taste
and skill.
The beautiful song by Miss Hankey and
the cheering choruses, three in number,
proved that the vocal training of the
academy is deserving of warm commenda-
ton. The principal singers in the cho-
auses were the Misses Hanky, Wymiller,
Stadtler, Lamour, Mellor, Riley, Maupin,
Davis, Faucher, Zsnoni, DeGress and JEFF =
fries.
The beautiful recitation by Miss Bessie
i'ooiHson, was very me piece OF elOcu-
5lonary analysis and truthful delineation
when the youth of the performer is taken
INTO consideration. She held her audience
pell bound.

expected of the intelligent and diligent
di tresses and contributors.

that this defendant applied to j. S. Hogg,

to whether or no this defendant, as county
Judge, had this legal right under the
statute to charge fee for dismissed cases
that were finally 'nolle prosed" in his
court. That tbs said Attorney general
Hogg did notgive him his opinion, saying
that ne thought there was some data in his
Office IN the shape of letter or an opin-
Ion. Whereas, he had as attorney general
ruled upon that identical question; but
on search therefor it was not found, and
the said attorney-general did not give his
opinion and declined to give a decisive
opinion at that time. That a subpoena is

ELECTION RETURNS.
Arrangements Made for Gathering
News on Election NIGHT.

For some time past there has been in
contemplation plan whereby the election
returns could be gathered from over the
county without delay on the night of the
election. The method adopted has hem
to print the names of all the candidates.

FORM OF circular with blank lines run.

VI eieeton Will have no trouble in filing
OUT reports. -Four or five copies of this
plank circular have been mailed with in
s.ructlons to the presiding Judge of cleo
'ion IN eaoh OF the various polling pre-
clncts OF Travis county. In addition to
this committee, who have devoted al
most their entire attention to the
matter for several days past,
have succeeded in securing subscrip.
tions enough to an election return fund.
so that they will be able to take care of
one man and his horse from each country
precinct in Travis county, giving supper,
lodging and breakfast to the man and
livery stable attention to his horse.
Also, for three nights during election
week, commencing on the night OF cleo
ton, arrangements have been entered
into and the plan will assuredly succeed,
whereby the Western Union bulletins from
all over the north containing all the
presidential election news, may be re.
ceived and displayed in such a manner
that the public cannot fail to com pliment
the way in which they are given.
The hall of the Austin Musical Union
has been kindly rendered by the managers
of the Union, at nominal rent, for the
use of the candidates on the three niuhts
Of election week first succeeding election
day, and the hall will be so
arranged and attention will be
so given that no gel tleman need have any
fear of bringing his lady friends down
town to hear the news and see the demon
STATIONS of enthusiasm that will doubtless
occur during those nights.
Mr.. Felthouse, with the firm of Walter
lips, has been engaged by :he committee
to manage the displaying of the bulletins,
and that he will succeed in pleasing the
public is beyond doubt. The manner in
which he will present the bulletins will be
something new in Austin, and will, for the
time at least, give to her the air of a
metropolis on the night of election" He
VIII arrange to flash the returns from a
stereoptioon placed in the window of
Musical Union hall on to 20-foot square
canvass, so that people in the street may
see and read at distance of one block.
1t is to be hoped that all who have taken
any interest in the matter will still con-
time their good work until the "hub-bub"
is over and people once more settled
down into the hum drum of more business
and less politics.

Passes Away.

Mrs. Mary L. Robertson Quietly
Passes Away.
On Sunday, the 29th, Mrs. Mary L.
Robertson, aged 65 years, after a pro.
longed illness quietly breathed her last.
Mrs. Robertson was born in Virginia,
and moved to Texas locating in Austin in
1853, where she has since resided. She
was the mother of Mr.. R. R. Robertson,
who survives her, and the mother-in law of
Mr.. John Bremond. She was highly edu-
Gated, Jealous Christian, and possessed
20 remarkable degree all the attributes
which crown and ornament the lives of
noble women. Faith, hope and charity
were the moving impulses of her life, and
scores of people in this city can bear
tribute to her sterling worth in all
that pertains to beautiful life made hal
lowed by deeds of kindness and acts of
unsel6sh love.
In the circle in which she moved she
was greatly beloved, and her death creates

Her funeral occurred yesterday morning
at IL O'Clock from st. David's, where
Doctor Lee conducted the solemn and i'm
pressive funeral services.
A very large cortege of friends followed
her remains to their last resting place.

District Court.

In the district court yesterday, Judge
Key presiding, the following proceedings
we're had:
The state vs. j. M. Breckenridge was
called and the state announced ready for
trial.
The defendant, however, wanted time,
aud one of his attorneys, Mr.. Thomas H..
Wheeles, read the following:
The defendant now makes application
to postpone this case until subsequent
day of the term, because he is not ready
for trial for want of material testimony
for his defense, viz, that of II. B. Barn
hart, at present residing in the county of
Ell Paso, Texas. That for the said Barn
hart he had supena issued on the oath
of October, 1888, and caused the same to
be placed in the hands of the sheriff for
service, which has been returned in court
not served, the said Barnhart at that time
being citizen of Travis county, as de-
PENDANT is informed and be-

THE CONFEDERATE HOME,
A Liberal Donation From the Or
der of Columbia of Boston.


der of Columbia OF Boston.
The following letter received yesterday
by Col. 5. IL. Darden, conveying to the
Confederate home generous gift from
an order in Boston explains itself.
BosToN, MASS, October %, 1888.
Hon. S. H. Darden, President of the Board of
Directors of the Confederate Home:
DEAR SIR-It is my pleasant duty as
moderator of Samuel Adams Settlement
No. of the Order of Columbia, to for
ward the enclosed check for 1926 to the
aid of the National Confederate home,
Austin, Texas.
Mr.. j. Fl. Stewart, of your board, has
so ably presented the claims of the Home
to members of the order, and to the mem
bers of posts of the Grand Army, notably,
Post Is, that have no doubt that the
merchants and businessmen of Boston and
Massachusetts,, will respond with their
ustal liberality. So not measure the
depths of our desire to aid you in your
noble work of the paltry sum
we have given, but rather credit US as the
poor woman was credited with giving of
her penury. The Order of Columbia is a
new association that seeks to weld
together the broken chain and re-awaken
the patriotic fervor of the citizen, and ia
the words of our ritual ito demonstrate
that state lines are not lines of division
but lines of cementing power"
The appropriation of the enclosed was
made at well-attended regular meeting
and by unanimous vote.
That this may prove fruitful seed of
an abundant harvest, not only to the
wounded soldier but to a united sovereign
citizens cry, is the wish of yours in liberty,
fraternity and equality.

The Reception Tendere d Him and
His Party in Austin.
Hon. H. W. Grady, editor of the Atlanta
Constitution, and accompanying party of
gentlemen from Georgia and New York,
who arrived here Sunday from the Dallas
fair, were received by Governor Ross,
? %syor Male and a number of prominent
tizens of Austin, who escorted them in
Erriages to the state capitol, the Univer
lty, the asylums and other places of in
krest in the city, after which all parties
'ined in banquet specially provided for
e occasion at the Drlskill hotel, where
Governor Ross gracefully presi ded
L one end of the table with
fr. Grady at the other, where
brief but interesting speeches were made
by both gentlemen.
Mr.. Grady, on behalf of himself and
Friends, courteously accepted the civilties
Extended them, and, in doing so, took
occasion to allude to what he termed the
f'orthodoxy" of our people by their high
regard for the Sabbath in contrast with
Sunday recreations in some of the cities
of the country where there we're large
unassimilated populations, and in some
of which protests had been made to even
the wringing of church bells. Referring to
the vast area and great resources of Texas,
he argued that the probabilities of the
state in wealth and prosperity,
were almost beyond comprehension.
and laid stress upon the conservatism of
the people as an evidence of good govern
ment, and an augury that Texas would
continue to hold bright position in the
galaxy of the states of the union. HIS
remarks, besides being poet1cal and beau
tifnl in their conception, showed that he
was we'll posted as to the history of Texas,
and had duly noticed the facts which
came under his observation. After dinner
the distinguished visitors were taken
