BURNETT BUDGET.

Items from Llano-M Methodist Protrscted
Meetipg--Local and Personal.
Special to the Statesman.
BURNET, July 26.-The Llano Iron News
comes out this week with a vigorous pro-
test from the citizens of that town against
the recent dynamite proceedings in which
a colored mans house was blown up. Col
W. A. H. Miller was chairman of the meet
ing. which was largely attended by the best
known citizens of the town and county.
Miss Alice Stiles, of Burnet, has been en-
gagged to teach in the Llano graded school
for the fall and winter term.
The protracted meeting at the Chris
tian church here continues under the con-
duct of Elder Furgason and Hon. w. X.
Holman. The Methodist brethren
are holding protracted meeting
at Sunny Lane, this county,
and the Baptists will begin one at Marble
Falls tomorrow night.
The first bale of this years cotton that
reached Galveston was bought by Wood,
Holloway d Co. at their Galves ton house
for $40.
Judge j. L. woodland and j. M. Tom
linson, of Burnet, have been summoned to
serve on the Federal grand Jury at the
August term in Austin.
A shower of rain fell here this forenoon,
but not sufficient to wet the ground. The
farmers say the cotton is much in need of
good rain.

The Cedar Creek Trial

Special to the Statesman.
BAsTRoP, July 26.-The monotony of
the trial was varied somewhat this morn
ing. Col. Jones, one of the attorneys for
the defense, spoke with eloquence of the
rights of negroes. He severely criticized
the sheriff in allowing White and Debar-
dlebon to continue as deputies guarding
the prisoners since they White and
Debardlebop) were actors in the Cedar
Greek trouble. He asked that they be re-
leased from duty and disarmed, to which
the gentlemen assented. He was answered
by Hon. j. P. Fowler, who suggested that
the colonel had some other object in view,
possibly to stimulate the witnesses.
The defense in endeavoring to show that
the negroes acted entirely within the
bounds of the law as officers in trying to
maintain the peace; that the white men by
being armed, whether Intentionally or not,
intimidated the court, and hence were re-
sponsible for all the trouble. 1t is more
than probable they will have some trouble
in sustaining this charge.
The state is trying to prove conspir-
acy, which some testimony seems to in
dictate, existed.
The prisoners have been reduced to fif-
teen, the others either being discharged
or out on bond. The examination of wit
nesses will continue probably until the
middle of next week.
The school tax was defeated by one
vote. The better class of citizens and
business men, with but one or two excep-
tioDs, voted for it.
Miss Hattie Boak, of Austin, who made
many warm friends here, returned home
Wednesday.
T. @. Highsmitb, a promising young at
torney of Bastrop, was married on Tues
day to Miss Lille MCGOWAN, of Colorado
City. They arrived here to-day and were
met at the depot by the Sayers Rifles, of
which Mr.. Higbsmith is first lieutenant.
Msjor Sayers and lady rendered a re-
ception to the Sayers Rifles and their in
innate friends on the 23d. There were
about seventy-ive guests present, and
were treated most royalty, as the msjor
and lady always treat their frien DIS.

Stop Work.
Special to the Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, July 26.-All traffic on
the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass rail-
way ives suspended to-day. Not an engiI Q
moved out Of the yards. The passenger
trains from the north and south came in
on regular time and were stopped here,
the crews of each joining the strike
when the depot in the city was reached.
Workmen from all along the line quit
work last night and are focking to the
city. Hundreds of men stood idly around
the compsny's depot all day. They make
no threats, simply declaring that they will
do no more work until arrangements are
made to pay them at least twc-thirds of
their back wages. They also intimate
that it is best for other men not to try to
take their places. An effort WAS made
this morning to get the mails out, but
when the time for departure came there
was no one to drive an engine from the
round house to the depot. Treasurer Han
sci expresses the belief that the difficulty
can be patched up tonight, and that
traffic will be resumed tomorrow. Both
President Lott and General Manager
Yoakum are In New York, but are in thor.

ate here. The strikers are perfectly quiet
and orderly and no apprehension of VIC
lence is felt.

MOUTH OF THE BRAzos.
The Late Flood Secured Out a Twenty
Foot ChAnnel

The Late Flood Secured Out a Twenty
Foot Channel.
Special to the States nan.
QUINTANA, July 25.-The recent flood
which did SO much damage to crops In
the lowlands has assisted greatly in secur-
ing deep water at the coming Texas sea-
port, so that the damage in one direction
is more than Offset in another. The
freshet secured channel twenty-five feet
deep as far as the jetties are built above
the water 1000 feet), and has secured a
channel twenty feet deep out for 1900
feet. The rise also cut channel seven
feet deep across the bar directly in front
of the ietties. The pile and trestlework is
completed out to $500 feet and the mat
tress work Is out to 2,700 feet, and on the
east jetty the piling and trestlework is
completed out to 2,400 feet, the mattress
work being out $500 feet. The damage
done by the flood amounts to about $4O0,
and the benefits give many thousands.

since and Mr.. Scott and his company have been sub

subject he says:
"Venal and partisan papers, as well as politicians

10 enable them 10 form correct opinion, heaped upon
this company and its officers, through the press an
amount of falsehOod and SANDER that IS perhaps. with

He goes 10 say that no Illinois capitalist would
risk his money In these mines that the Spring Valley
Company knowing 1t could hope for only a moderate
return invested 1850, 900 in them, of which about
half went TO the farmers of the surface above them
to lift the mortgages their land. He then shows
the vast capacity developed in these mines for the
production of coal, and continues:
The ability of the company to operate its mines,
10 give steady employment to its men and to sell Its
coal Is contingent upon factors: First, the cost

One of the most absurd statements made in connec-

Ths' said Mr.. Bliss yesterday, is entirely false.

TO LEASE THE CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL.

Baltimore, sept. 81 (SpeciaD.-A committee from
Western Maryland, representing people In
teIested in the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal has had
interviews this week with the Board Of Public Works
regarding the possibility Of the State consentng TO
lease of the canal TO private corporation or to
Individuals The result appears to be that the Board
Of Public Works would not be aversc to such lease
under proper conditions Those who live along the
line OF the canal should best know the desrabllity
Of maintaining the canal a waterway for trans
portaton and the possibility of its being made self
supporting. Experience has proved that the canal
is not selfsupportng, and, being unable 10 meet eX-
penses and pay the interest on the 100000 repair
MORTGAGE II IS difficult to realize how It can be made
self supporting under additional fixed charges, which
would be necessary 10 raise the money
10 repair the canal. Those who are
dependent upon the canal as means
of transportation have doubt suffered heavy loss.
II the last Legislature had leased the canal from
Cumberland to Wilamsport, as was proposed, TO
the Western Maryland Railroad. the fixed charges of
the canal would have been provided for, and shippers
would have had outlet for their products. The
Democratic State Convention yesterday, in Its plat
form. expressed regret the deplorable condition Of
affairs the canal, but omitted to state that ITS
ruin was caused by turning the corporation into a
political machine. In which millions Of money from
the taxpayers Of the State have been wasted
