A Negro Boy Loses a Leg.

From time to time the BANNER
has warned the boys of the danger
of jumping on and off the moving
trains in the yards here, aud only a
day or two ago called attention to
the danger of the practice, but line
upon line, precept upon precept did
not have the effect of diverting
another accident.
Late Friday afternoon Arthur
Crowfeld, a six-year old colored boy
whose parents reside near the Cen
trail track down by the compress
where the accident happened,
jumped off the platform between
two box cars of a moving train, and
as he did so, the cars parted, throw,
ing him on the track ahead of one
of them, the wheels of which ran
over his left leg taking off about a
third of it.

a Close Call.

About Z clock Friday night Frank
Bell, a colored waiter at the Elk
change hotel, went across the street
from the hotel to Fisher & Weis
market to get some meat. Mr.. JUL,
us Fisher, son of the senior proprie-
tor was alone in tie market, and the
negro called to him rather insult
ingly, and words passed between
them until the waiter reached the
front door, when something he said
caused Mr.. Fisher to start towards
him, when the negro drew pistol
and fired at Mr.. Fisher in such close
range that he was slightly burned
by the powder, but fortunately the
leaden missive sent with deadly
intent sped harmlessly by, but alarm
ingly close to his head.
1t is an outrage for negro waiter
at a first class hotel, constantly
waiting on the guests, many of
whom are ladies to be packing a
pistol around in his pocket.
Mr.. Wilson said that he had never
been pleased with the service OF
this particular waiter, but had
divided ever saying much to him, SO
it is presumed that his sudden leave
taking will not be a source of much
regret at the Exchange.

A passenger on the train coming
north Sunday says that as the train
stopped at Rosenberg he saw two
negroes coming round the depot,
tandem fashion and just before the
leader reached the cars the other one
struck him in the back knocking him
down, his head striking the car
wheel. The aggressor jumped on
his adversary, walked about on him
and stamped him, the other getting
away by crawling under the cars.
But he was not to escape so easily
and A No. 1 followed, chasing him
back and forth around and under
the cars until the now thoroughly
frightened AMI badly whipped ne,
gro boarded the train and ran
through the ladies coach bleeding as
he went with the other close behind,
until some one stopped the friG htened
negro, land as the train pnlicd out the
whipped negro WAS standing in the
corner of the waiting room having a
'buck ague' with fear.

BIG REAL ESTATE TRANSFER.
Washington County Loses Good Citiue

Washington County Loses Good Citizen
Friday Mr.. j. D. Clemens for the
Real Etate Agency of Mr.. j. B. Vim
son, consumated a trade for Judge
]. E. Gray, selling his home place OF
275 acres, two and a half miles west
of Brennan, to Mr.. G. Musk for
S30.75 per acre. For some time
Judge Gray has been talking about
selling out, but only short time
since he placed the property with
the gentlemen for sale, with the re-
suit already mentioned, which shows
that Brennan has as live hustling
real estate men as can be found any
where. Judge Gray will probably
move to north Texas. He is a good
citizen, clever gentleman, and has
many friends throughout this sec
ton who will regret to learn that
he contemplates leaving, but will
join the BANNER in wishing him sue
cess wherever he casts his lot.

LOST HIS WAGON.

A gentleman who was in the city
few days ago from near Post Oak,
was here again yesterday looking for
a two-horse wagon which he lost in
rather singular manner. He said
that when he was here the other
day he left about night and while
en- route went to sleep. When he
was ct home, got out of the wagon
unhitched the horses and jumped
on one of them and rode to his lot,
more asleep than awake, and put up
the horses, but the next morning the
wagon was not there nor any sign
of it. He did not remember how
far he had travelled on horseback
after extracting the horses from the
wagon, but came all the way back
to the city looking for it yesterday,
but his search was fruitless. He
can't account for its disappearance,
except on the theory that some one
has pulled it out of the road and hid
it to tease him or what would turn
out to be more serious joke-stolen
it. 1t may be that he left the main
road and will find his wagon on a
different road from the one he is in
the habit of going home. There is
an accounting for man so sleepy (?)
as to loose two horse wagon, what
road he would take home.

The ladies of Brennan have re
ceived a circular letter from Mrs
Rosa Ryan, treasurer of the Wo
mans Fund for the Soldiers Home,
and Mrs. T. F. Mitchell, secretary
of the Woman's Movement in aid Of
the fund, soliciting them to join il
the simultaneous effort that will be
made all over the state to raise funds
for the Home during the Confeder-
ate Home month, October, which
has been designated as such. The
homeless old heroes are dependent
on the charity of the people of the
State and whenever subscriptions
are solicited the response has been
usually prompt and liberal.
The ladies were organized here
some time since for the purpose Of
soliciting subscriptions to aid the
Home, but if they have ever done
anything it has not been reported tc
the BANNER.

BRENNAN STEAM LAUNDRY,


The BANNER reporter strolled into
Brenham's steam laundry Friday,
on Sandy street, near the railroad
crossing, and met the courteous
business manager, Mr.. ". L. FRS
co, who kindly carried him through
the establishment showing him in
tricate machinery, and explaining
the various processes through which
the highly CLOSED shirts, and in
fact every other article from lace
curtain to q cambria handkerchief,
had to go before reaching the high
perfection of excellence which they
attain before they are encircled with
neatly printed blue bands bearing
the advertisement of the laundry
and turned out.
The laundry was started some
three months ago by Nh. II. j. Nor
gan, who is the present proprietor,
and in that short time has built up
a business exceeding their capadity,
though they run on full time all day
and far into the night, and at pres
ent are employing a number of wo-
men who are doing some of the work
by hand.
The motive power of the laundry
is 1O-horse power engine driven by
a 15-horse power boiler, which will
be sufficient to drive all the new ma
chinery, which, by the way, they are
expecting in every day now, to in
crease their facilities and enable them
to fill all orders promptly. They
will add a new steam box OF drying
house and number of other ma
chimes of improved patents that are
to be found only in frst-class laun-
dry.
Several ironing machines were in
operation while the reporter was
being steered through, and steemed
by the heat from the irons, but he
stopped to notice ''patent" fan, the
invention of the young man who
handles the collars and cuffs, and
had verifcation of the old adage
that necessity is the mother of in
vention," for without this fan the
heat over his machine which though
small, is the hottest of any in the
establishment would be almost intol-
era BILE.
"Here is something that catches the
eye of all the visitors, said Manager
Frisco, as he led the way to Seen
trifugal extractor" and started it to
revolving at a speed of $500 revolu-
tons per minute This is an inven-
ton that was designed to extract
the molasses from sugar but so well
adapted to wringlng the water from
clothes that the laundries soon
caught on" and adopted it, and it
is now catalogued as part Of the
regular machinery of laundry.
The work of this laundry is
second to none in the state, and the
patronage it is receiving which
necessitates an enlargement of its
capacity, shows that it isappreciated.
The Brennan Steam Laundry is
one of TIE prosperous and success
full institutions of the city, which
has many others that will be refer
red to from time to time. But she
needs more still. There is room for
many new Industries here that could
be run with profit to investors and
at the same time give employment to
laborers and augment the wage
earners. The bucket brigage in
crease trade and the towns which
have the largest pay rolls are the
most prosperous.

A BRIEF PEEP AT ANOTHER BREN

ness in evidenced by the handsome
work he is turning out, an express
wagon just finished for the Wells
Fargo Express Co., being worthy oil
special mention, as no better job
can be turned out from any place
The business is still conducted in
the name of F. W. Schuerenberg,
who formerly started small black
smith shop there, and was succeeded
by the present proprietors at his
death in 1882, under whose manage
ment, honest work and industry have
have built up a business that is q
credit to the city, and brings trade
here from many neighboring towns.
Besides the local trade they fill
orders from Caldwell, Cameron.
Bolton, Hampstead, Elgin and
many other places. They work
thirteen men, ten of them being

The fest at Prairie Hill, 7 miles
north of the city, Sunday was at,
tended by quite number from the
city, and from some Of them it is
learned that there were about 2,00C
people in attendance. There was
plenty to eat, and drink too, for that
matter, as it is said that 35 kegs Of
beer were consumed and 35 more
ordered to supply the demand.
Good order prevailed all day with
the exception of one little difficulty
in which there was no blood drawn
though the parties slashed each

knives. The candidate were out
smiling with the dear dear people,
presenting their claims for the vari

RIVAL cotton markets in different
portions of the State are responsible
for keeping alive the smallpox re-
ports, trying to scare trade from
one town to another. Brennan has
some small rivals in the purchase OF
Washington county's cotton crop,
but they have not resorted to any
such scheme to turn the cotton to,
wards them, nor do we think they
are inclined to do so, but it would
be failure anyway, as Brennan is
so noted for its healthfulness as to
be above suspicion of harboring any
serious malady.

ALL towns are noted for its pref
ty girls, but there's not a man in
Brennan that is not an enthusiast
in the belief that BRENNAN has the
prettiest in the state. Beauty crowns
them with its regal coronet and in
telligence sits enthroned on their
brow with proud royalty. They are
not butterflies either, slipping life's
sweets from flowers that will fade.
They possess all the attributes which
make them lovable, not only an Or
nament to society, but a goddess in
the home circle and an angel of
mercy, a leader in works of charity,
love and tenderness.

As WILL be seen from the real es

while the transactions have not been

The cry Of Brennan should be
upward and onward. In the rush
for supremacy in the sharp competi-

Brennan should not sit idly by and
see them ''scooped" by other cities

way equal to those of Brennan.

A Dude Pull. His Gun on a Brakeman

Near Richmond station Sunday a
gentleman dressed in white flannel
suit strolled in the ladies coach with
a cigar, and was told by brakeman
that he must either get out or put
out his cigar. He refused to do
either and words followed. As
the train came to a halt
he warmed up and gave
the brakeman some pretty lurid
sass" and drew from beneath his
coat six.shooter to give emphasis
to his remarks. He held it in a
threatening manner, and once ad-
vanced as if he was going to strike
the brakeman, to which the brake
man said, ''See here, young fellow,
don't make fool of yourself The
train pulled out, leaving the young
man at Richmond, thus ending the
bloodless battle.
