Shacksbush is well known settlement
GEAR Cleveland, in the town of Constan-
tia, Oswego county, and there live Jay
Nichols and Ella Henrihan. After an
extended courtship date was finally set
FOR the wedding. This was about year
ago. An elaborate feast had been pre-
pared. Father McGlynn had been sum-
moned, and the young lady, surrounded
by friends, stood waiting for the groom.
After a lengthy wait, and Nichols not
appearing, the guests were dismissed,
the kind old priest sent home, and Miss
Henrihan. who is sensitive and pretty
young lady, went quietly about her daily
duties, and what she thought and felt
was known only to herself. 1t was sub
sequently learned that the young mans
parents made such fierce objections to
his being married by a priest of the
Catholic faith that he weakened. Soon
after he went south and remained there
several months.
A short time ago he returned and met
his former sweetheart. The roses had
not left her cheeks, and if she felt ag-
grieved at the shabby trick that had
been played upon her she did not show
it. She met Nichols and welcomed
him back to Shacksbush. Apparently
matters were soon. arranged satisfacto-
rily to both parties, for it was soon
noised about the settlement that "Jay
Nichols and Ell Henrihan were goin'
together agin." Wednesday evening last
everything was in readiness second
time for the wedding. The Rev. Mr..
Embey, Protestant clergyman, had
been secured to tie the knot. The young
people were all ready in the parsonage,
and had just Joined hands, when gruff
voice cried out, Break away" and in
stinctively Jay dropped Elias hand.
The young lady went to the door, met
her brother and Harvey George, and
bidding her faint hearted lover good
night, left him standing alone in the
parlor of the parsonage with the dominic
who was to have performed the ceremo-
ny. There is but one sentiment in the
community, and that is that Nichols
was served just right. Lakeside Press.

The Empire State of the South.

The Picayune yesterday enjoyed the
pleasure Of a visit from the Hon. John
D. Mccall, comptroller of public &C.
counts OF the State of Texas.
This gentleman, who is enthusiastic
over the great commonwealth he
represents, presented some statements
concerning the financial condition of
Texas, which are worth general atten-
ton. 1t appears from his report for
the current year that the total tax
able value, as at present assessed, are
valued at $SOO,OOO,OOO. The farming
lands are valued at $400,000,O00, or
quite half. There is III the state no
city of over 10000 people, and the
enormous figures given represent to
a great extent the solid and prosper
GUS condition of the farming interests.
OF live stock there are l 100000
horses, 100000 horned cattle, $780,.
600 sheep. There are 1852 miles miles
of railroad and 9475 miles of tele-
graph lines. The increase in the as
sessed values from 1871 to 1889 was
more than $500. 100000.
When we come to the provisions for
public education we find permanent
school fund in cash and bonds of over
$6,600,000 the interest on which is
nearly 100000. Besides this there is
a school tax which yields over 100000
annually, interest on school lands sold,
of $572, 600 and other receipts, making
an availailable income for the year in
cash for the schools of $2,2S1 ,768.

Foolish Martyrs.

There are martyrs and martyrs. Some were
wise in the loftiest, some are silly in the most
lmprovident sense. The word improvident
exactly applies to the latter class. since they
neglect to provide against threatened danger.
We commiserate, but we cannot respect them.

all the great men Of Europe, beginning
with Prince Bismarck, has himself been
forced to embark on long tour of Eu-

Randolph BremOnd.

Yesterday morning at 9 o'clock, at
the residence of his father, Mr.. Ran
dolph Bremond died after a lingering
illness. He was afflicted with that
dread disease consumption. and know
ing death was near, he had resigned
himself to the inevitable and calmly
awaited the summons that relieved
him of his sufferings. He was born
May %, 1865, and has always made
Austin his home. On June %, 1886,
he was married to Miss Blanch Ban
mister, and one child was the fruit OF
the union. Wife and child both sur
vive him.
Mr.. Bremond was we'll known in
Austin and up to few years ago he
was in business here, but failing
health forced him to quit the active
pursuits of life aud seek seclusion and
rest at his home. Surrounded by low
ing friends and kind associates, he
quietly waited the end, and in this
their hour of sad bereavement the
sympathy OF the whole community is
rendered the afflicted widow and the
family of the deceased. The funeral
services will take place this afternoon
at 2 o'clock from st. David's church
All friends and acquaiD tances are in
vited to attend.

Mount Bonnet Property Sold.

A home syndicate, Messrs. Galen
Crow, Jr., and others, Yesterday pur-
chased the Mount Bonnet property,
fifty five acres, of Mrs. Darlington and
others. 1t is mainly valuable on &C.
count of it's desirable location on the
river above the site of the dam. The
price paid is understood TO be 500 an

No Flies OH This LAWYER.

We hear much of the laws delay and
generally the criticism is well deserved,
but on occasion law and lawyers can act
very promptly. The case in point is the
quick wit of young lawyer in the law
courts of London recently. A man was
taken suddenly i'll while listening to a
case, having evidently been talked to
death, and after fainting fit expressed
desire to make his will. The lawyer,
seeing that the man was dying, snatched
up his shirt front, which had been re-
moved to give him air, and scrawled the
will on the linen, and got it signed just
in time, as the man Immediately expired.

The Alliance Cotton Yard.

Only 100 bales were received at the
Alliance yard yesterday and prices
ranged from 81 to 94c. This has been
a good season for the yard, and Mr..
Cranberry is puzzling his brain to de-
wise plan for handling next years
crop, the present yard being entirely
too small to accommodate the in
creased business which the immense
popularity of the Alliance yard prom
Uses for next year.
Receipts will be comparatively small
for the balance of this season, as
there is no top crop to speak Of.
The drouth stopped the growth
in the summer and when
the rains came the festive cot
ton worms came with them and the
tender growth afforded them luxuriant
forage, which the worms highly ap
preciated, if the havoc they created is
any criterion, and as usual the toiling
farmer, the man whom romancers de-
light TO refer to as the man whose
"crops are growing while he sleeps
got the full benefit of the psstiferous
worms industry. His crops grew
while he slept, but the worms ate
voraciously not only while he slept,
but while he was awake as well.

farmer has done reasonably well this

Disappearance of a Russian River.

The town of Saratow, in the southeast

The water of the river has for some time
past been DESERVING the right arm Of the
stream upon which Saratow is built, and
flowing Exclusively in the left arm, which
is about mile and quarter distant from
the town. The former bed of the stream
is now quite dry, and is used as road to
convey the passengers and goods which
arrive by the steamer to the town. 1t

A Proposition from the Water Works Com.
pany Expected.

1t is believed that the agents OF
the bondholders of the Austin Water
Works company, who have been here
some time discussing the ACCESSIBILITY
of the city's purchasing the plant
and pipings of the company, will
recommend to the bondholders a
proposition to sell out to the city for
a stated sum, taking dam bonds for
the amount in payment. Such an
arrangement might prove acceptable
as substitution by the city in place
of constructing new works and mains,
for which large amount of bonds
will be necessary. A fair proposition
from the Water Works company is
anticipated.
