Escorted to Jail,

Deputy Constable Frank Jones took in
Louis Washington out of the cold world
yesterday and assigned him quarters in
the county jail. Louis belongs to the race
whose ancestors dwelt on the banks of the
Nile, land that is warmer than this, but
it was not for this fact that Officer Jones
put him in the shade. He had several
times committed assault and battery upon
one Susie Williams, aud warrant was Ia
sued for his arrest some time ago. Yes
terday morning, meeting the aforesaid
Susie again, he proceeded to administer
oastigatioH contrary to the peace and dig
nifty of the commonwealth and the statutes
in such cases made and provided. JUS
tice Stuart will sit on Washington's case.

Orange Blossoms.

A wedding occurred in the First Pres
byterisn church in San Antonio yesterday
which may be of interest to many Austin
people.
The contracting parties were DR.. Q. O.
Lemly, of Hot Springs, Ark, and Miss
Bonnie Lee Johns, formerly of this city,
Doctor Smoot went over to San Antonio
yesterday to perform the ceremony and
returned last night, accompanied by the
bride and groom, who are going direct to
the groom's home. The groom is one OF
the leading druggists of Hot Springs, and
is held in high esteem by all who know
him. The bride is the sister of ex-Recorder
Claude Johns, and is well and popularity
known in this city, where she has host
of friends, whose best wishes will doubtless
accom- pany her to her new home.

half feet above the level of the north end
of the bridge.
1t has Also been learned by Mr.. Wallace
that the point on the tree mentioned by
him in his report to the commissioners
court as being five feet below the level OF
the south end of the bridge, indicates the
high water mark of the flood of 1870
and not that of 1869. While the
tree standing on the south
bank of the river, and supposed by Mr..
Wallace's colnred informant to have
borne sim ply the mark OF the ferry boat
cable, was really marked by Newt. May
field, the we'll known ferry man, to pre-
serve the flood height of 1869, with his
knife, and his mark has since been sawed
into by Mr.. Frank Henry and Mr.. Fullsn-
weider. That mark is above the level
of the north cut of the bridge some four
feet, three inches.

The present second lieutenant of the
co m pany will not be able to go to Calves
ton, and Mr.. Mark Swain, now of Clarks-
Vile, but formerly the company's second
lieutenant, has consented to come to Aus
tin, practice with the company and go
with it to Galveston. This action on the
part of Mr.. Swain is very commendaole
and is highly appreciated by Captain
Houx and the members of his company.
The company will drill every night from
now until the day to leave for Galveston,
and it is expected that the company will
reach high state of perfection before the
time Of departure arrives.

The Montopolls Bridge.

As heretofore stated in the report OF
County Surveyor Wallace, the hi CHEST
water mark of 1869 at Beats doorstep is
se ven feet above the level of the north
end of the bridge. In ascertaining the
level from the cotton wood tree below the
bridge, Mr.. Wallace took the very bottom
of the forks, which is three and one-half
feet below the north end OF the bridge,
but from the most authentic information
that can be obtained the water must have
reached at least four feet up into the
forks of that tree. Surprising the water
to have been three and one-half feet
deep in the forks of the
cotton VOID tree, it would
sAave passed on line of uniform descent

for his Chicago home last night. The
board is to be congratulated upon the

College
st. Edwards New

The current number of the College
Echo, published by the students of st. Ed
wards college says: The central portion
of the new college is at last finished out
side, and nearly finished inside. The
main stairway in the tower is completed,
and the plasterers will soon get through
with the work of white-ooatIng the vari-
GUS apartments. One of the two large
cisterns is finished, and work on the sec
ond is pushing rapidly forward. 1t is
pity we cannot get an artesian well, but
that is dropped, for the present at least.
While exoavating the cistern, a quantity
of valuable mineral WAS found cropping
out, with large veins of valuable copper
carbonates, besides the large amount OF
iron usually found in this vicinity. Who
knows but artesisn' springs, on closer
examination, may not bring bonanza
some day!

1t is evident that the government has
been tricked by persons who secured ap-
pointments as deputy msrshals simply
for the purpose of penetrating into Okla
homa and seizing the best claims. One
party of them is described as being armed
only with gold-headed canes, and repre-
senting an aggregate capital Of several
million dollars. This is a contemplate
fraud upon the other settlers, and if it
can be discovered that the United States
marshal was privy to it he ought to be
removed.-New York Tribune, Rep.
