he never spoke to Gwynn, he only spoke
to the crowd; he did not remember of any
one making an invitation to go and
take drink. He was not drinking that
night and was duly sober. While speak
ing to the crowd Gwynn called him a
id liar" but he did not say anything
to him in return, as he saw he was drink
ing. He did not invite them to drink at
Charlie Cortissoz's or anywhere else; after
being cut he went to the Brunswick; he
had no ill-feeling toward Gwynp, and he
did not know that GwYnn had any toward
him.
Officer DGrnwell testified that he saw
Townsend come up Sixth street and cross
over the Avenue; he noticed he had his
arm crossed over his chest, but did not
speak to him; shortly after he heard some
one hallos murder, and it was Townsend
who was in front of the Brunswick; he
went to him and assisted him up stairs;
when he reached Townsend his coat was
off he noticed no pistol on him nor did
he observe whether he was drinking or not
he did not see him drinking that night.
Mr.. Stroud, night clerk at the Bruins
wicS, testified that Townsend was in his
Office about 10 o'clock and took social
drink with him; he then left and he saw
no more of him until he returned stabbed
in the arm; he saw him have no pistol;
Townsend did not tell him who did the
cutting.
The case will be resumed this morning

Are we 20 Have Another War,

Some political prophets aver that we shan.
Be that as 1t may, the battle waged by medical
science against disease win never cease until
we arrive at that utopian epoch when the
hnman family shall cease to be afflicted with
bodily ailments. One of the most potent
weapons which the armory of medicine fur
nlshes, is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. which
is OF special utility as family remedy as it is
adapted to the immediate relief and ultimate
and bowels which are of oommonest occur.
renee Indigestion, biliousness and constipa-
ton are inseparable companions, aud these
ailments are completely eradicated by the
Bitters. But the remedial scope of this super
latiyely wholesome and genial medicine takes
IN also nervous ailments, rheumatism and
kidney troubles; its action in these, as in the
other complaints. being characterized by un-
equalled thoroughness.

A Beautiful Hose Carriage.

The Eaet Austin fire boys are. genial,
jolly, wholesOul set, and they enjoyed the
holidays as never before. They had cause
to. To add to the pleasure of the festivi-
ties their spanking new hose carriage ar
rived. And it is beauty. here is not a
more handsome and well built fire APP
paratus in the state. 1t is finished with
all the modern Improvements. The frame
is solid steel and the wheels of the ce!e-
brated Archibald pattern and make. When
Dick Cunningham, who is aconnoisseur in
matters, saw the machine he fell upon the
neck of the driver and wept tears of Joy.
All the boys pronounce it sim dandy"
and they will do good service with it.

AUSTIN, Tex, December 81, 1883.
To the L itor of the Statesman.
Again the roads are bad. On Christ
mas day the windows of heaven were
opened wide and the rain descended
in torrents till the earth is saturated and
reekiDg at every pore. Gold springs spout
up in the middle of the road and go trick
ling and meanderipg a-down and across
the wsgon tracks till they find their way
to the ditch on either SIDE where their ag-
gregated volume resolves itself into a
first-class creek, from whose CLASSY surface
thousand bright rays of the sun are
thrown back in the dazzled eyes of the
philosophical traveller. No mirage therel
No optical illusion. 1t is there in reality,
as his tired horses and SOW moving wagon
fully attest.
But what is he going to do about 1T?
Does he regard it as some extraordinary
phenomenon? Some dire calamity sent
as a punishment for his laziness, and
lack of public spirit-not bit of it. He
has seen 1t many times before, and seen
it succeeded by long dry spells. He only
blames himself that he did not stay at
home few daye repairing his fences and
attending to other work necessary to be
done, while dame natures forces were
busy abolishing, evaporating and bring
| ing back to its normal condition the dry,
hard, shiny road again.
1t is urged that trade suffers; that pro-
duce is perishing or going off
to other towns and markets.
If that is so, it surely ought TO
be looked after, and some remedy applied,
for the prosperity of city and country are
SO imperatively connected that what af-
fects one also affects the other. Neither
can be independent of the other.
But why should trade leave Austin to go
to Round Rock or Manor, situated as they
are in the stiff, black waxy land, and
approached by roads that all agree are
far worse than the roads to Austin
1t is known that much cotton has been
diverted from Austin to Round Rock, and
it has been sought to make it appear that
it was all on account of bad roads,
whereas, it was on account Of the most
potent of all causes and that one fourth
to one-half cent per pound more was OBJ
tanned at Round Rock than in Austin, al
though il was farther and over a worse
road.

neighborhood, and for the sole purpose of

We shouldn't assign cause and reason

NEW YEARS GERMAN.
An Elegant Entertainment Last
Night at the Governors
ManSIOO

/ MANSION.
Last night as the hour of 9 approached,
an observer could have seen carriage after
carriage roll up, pause, and pass away
from the executive mansion, the occasion
being the New Year german given by Miss
Florence Ross. Through the wreathed
doorway into the dazzle, the warmth, the
perfume, the music, fast and still faster
they came until the halls aud drawing
rooms we're crowded to OVERLOOKING with
a crowd of brilliant, clever and hand
somely dressed men and women. It was
u notable gathering, indeed. The bril-
liant spacious parlors echoed to the
music's strain and the bea6 of dancing
feet, while everywhere the walls were
decorated with holly, ivy, mistletoe, and
on every hand were choice flowers in
picturesque careless masses. There was
the lustre and warmth OF costly draperies,
the glitter of gold and crystal in the
banquet hall, ard blending Its soft notes
with the movements of this merry crowd
the music hoated out, sobbed, and died
away. And, in this manner passed away
the most pleasant and elegant entertain
ment to which the society people of Aus
tin have ever been treated. lis safe to
say that all those who were present last
night will in future years look back with
pleasant thoughts of the night of January
| l, '89, when they danced in the "Mansion
on the Hill" Those who were present
were:
Miss Florine Ross and Chas. Fisher.
| Miss Annie Hunter and Ed Bowen.
Miss Beuna Padgitt and Henry Har-
fison.
Miss Lilly Barnard, of Waco, and War
rem Moore.
Miss Hazey Bowers, of Waco, and Sam

on West Pecan street, the young ladies
receiving, supplemented by number of
Others, and that company augmented by
an equal number of gentlemen, spent the
remainder of the evening in the enjoy
ment of a most delightful german, ten
dered by the charming hostess,
Mrs. Caldwell, to her niece, Miss
Eula Caldwell, of this city, and
Miss Leilsh Higgins, of Bastrop. 1t was
a fitting finale to day replete with rare
pleasure. The figures of the German were
led by Mr.. David Harrell and Miss Hig-
gins, and as the command had been issued
by the entertainers that there should be |
no cessation in the dancing until nature |
could stand no more, the hour was late in
deed when the customary signal for re-
treat was given.

lature is called to the fact that an artesian
well has been bored in North Austin. Let
each of the members take walk to this
well, drink the water, and then visit our
three asylums, and doubt not they will
see the propriety and wisdom Of having
one at each of them as well as ono near
the granite capitol.
Gatesville's state institution has an arfe
sian well, and why may not the state intti-
tutions in Austin have them9 1t can be
shown that it is cheaper to furnish these
asylums with water from artt sian wells
than from the water works. If 80, Why
not have the wells?
