but thought that he could hold out
80 cents and the drunken man
would not know tbs difference. Ac.
cordingly he gave HOltzsiein 81 10
chungo instead of 81 80. The latter
was not to bc fooled, however, as hc

his money, let thu place. lie went
to his cabin about two blocks away,
procured $500 Winchester, and re-
turned to the restaurant. AT the
time there was no one within with
the exception of two Cinnamon aud
the colored waiter.
Holtzstein opened the door and
coolly walked in, Then cooking his
rifle, he asked Oglcsby:
"Are you going 10 give me that
four bits?'
Again receiving n negative reply,
he throw the rifle to his shoulder
and fired. Tho bullct took effect in
Oglosby's rlgh groin and passed out

Public Speaking.

AT the Barrel House corner Sat.
urday evening, several celored men
addressed large crowd of hearers
on county politics. Among the
speakers were Willis Bigsby and W.
q. Blount, both of whom befriended
Cain, the deposed nominee of the
Republican Convention. whose place
on the ticket was filed by Paul
Fricke and his followers at an infor-
NAL and irregular convention. If
the gentleman from Tamaleville
could have been here Saturday even
ing he would have blushed to the
roots of his hair, and it would have
stood on end, to have heard how his
name was handled by the speakers.
They dug up his reputation; put him
to sleep in negro beds, accused him
of selling them out at so much per
head, and called upon their fellow
citizens to sit down on his candi-
date. The speakers advised the col
ored men to vote the national and
state republican ticket, but in coun-
ty politics to make the best trade
they could.
J. G. Cain also made talk, some
of which was quite uncomplimenta-
ry to Paul Fricke and his way of
running conventions.

Brenham,s Wholesale Business.

Brennan makes no boast of her
Wholesale business though in a
quiet and unostentatious manner
does more perhaps than many cities
of much greater pretentions. Large
purchasers are here almost every day,
buy their goods quietly and haul
them from warehouses, or have them
shipped, and the general public
know nothing of the transaction. In
the grocery line car load after car
load are sold, one house, that of
Mr.. q. Fisher, perhaps receiving
and selling as much as any one
house in this section of the State.
But he does not sell them all, there
are many other houses, while not
doing SO large a wholesale, business
as he, sell quantities of goods the
wholesale. Mr.. Fisher received yes
terday three car loads of corn, one
of oats, one of bran and two of ba-
con.

SELLS BROTHERS AND BARRETT.

Our columns to-day eonspicuously
display the advertisements of this
remarkable amusement coalition,
whose speedy coming they announce.
We use the expression, remarkable
amusement coalition" adyisedly, for
we know of no travelling exhibitionaI
enterprise which presents SO many
acceptable phases of attraction. 1t
is scarcely necessary to say to
amusement patrons that for Is
years the Sells Brothers have been
noted as having an equestrian, ZOO
logical and hippodromatic entertain
ment every where recognized as be-
ing at the head and front among
reputable tented exhibitions. Mr..
S. II. Barrett also has been not a
whit behind the Sells Brothers in
catering to the amusement of the
populace. The circumstance that
these two formidable shows have
joined their forces, and the two ex-
hibitions being consolidated as an
entirety, at once and effectually
places this organization, in point of
magnitude and attraction, head and
shoulders above all compeers, and
enables the joint management to of
fer the best hippodromatic, eques-
trian, gymnic and geological exhibit
ton in America. This exhibition is
advertised to be here on Monday,
October 81.

making the celebration grand sue
cess. The party after the presenta.
ton of the canes formed themselves
into a torchlight procession 60

serenaded the city. They were en-
Enthusiastically received up town. The
Germans are Justly proud of their
success III the celebration, and have
resolved to repeat it next year on a
still more elaborate scale. From all
accounts no other city equaled
BRENNAN in the celebration of Ger
man Day.

THERE is a custom in Brennan
that is pronounced by many as a
great nuisance. 1t is the habit of
teams being hitched and fed all
along the principal thoroughfares of
the city, creating stencil, filling up
the cutters and making an insight
ly mess generally. There are plenty
of wagon yards for their accommo-
datlon and while the merchants
won't tell them not to hitch to their
awning posts, and feed in front of
the stores, for fear of running off a
customer, they no doubt would pre-
fer to see them in a wagon yard.
What it costs the city to clean up
after these teams would put up a
lot of hitching posts out where the
teams would not be in the way,
blocking up the business thorough
fares and causing occasional runa-
ways.

Saturday evening last the grim
messenger death laid his icy hand
upon one of Brenhams' fair flowers,
and she lay cold in death. II was
Miss Toe jackson, whose serious ILL
ness was announced in the BANNER
few days since. the 16-year-old
daughter of MIR. Joseph Jackson, an
old resident of the county, who
moved from Chappell Hill here to
send his daughters to school. Her
remains were carried to Chappell
Hill for interment Sunday. Death
is sad at any time, but when it
bereaves parents and friends of one
just bidding into young womanhood,
it is sad indeed and arouses the SYM
pathY of the entire community, for
the host of grief stricken friends and
relatives, to whom is extended the
sincere coincidence of the BANNER.

Pursuant to a call of the chairman
of Precinct No. 4, the Democrats of
commissioner precinct No. 4, met in
mass meeting at Burton on Satur-
day the 18th, for the purpose of
nominating q commissioner, and Or
ganized by electiDg W. ". Hendley
permanent chairman, and r. NJ.
league permanent secretary. A
committee on credentials and organ
ization, composed of W. H. Derrick,
for Burton, and E. J. Nelnast, for
Long Point and Gay Hill, reported
in favor of allowing Burton eight
votes IN the convention and Long
Point and Gay Hill five votes, and
Greenvine and Wesley five votes.
Gus Broesche being placed in
nomination for commissioner of pre-
cinct No. 4, and securing the eight
votes of Burton and five votes of
Long Point, Greenvine and Wesley
not beng represented, was declared
the Democratic nominee.
The question was put before the
convention whether the convention
should nominate candidates for JUS
tice of the peace and constable and
it was unanimously decided by the
convention not to nominate, leaving
the field open to all. The conven-
ton was largely attended, harmoni-
Gus and enthusiastic.
After the convention adjourned
Beauregard Bryan addressed the
convention on State and National
matters, and Judge Kirk on county
matters, showing everything to be
in good condition and that there
was no reason for a change.

A Quiet German and His Wife Shot by

an Assassin. The Husband Killed Out
right, the Wife Will Die.
Mr.. j. W. Davis, brick mason
and contractor of this city, who has
been working on contracts in
Cameron for some time, came home
Saturday, and from him is learned
the particulars of terrible assassi.
nation that occurred about four
miles northwest of Cameron last
Saturday, which for some reason has
been kept out of the papers, none
having mentioned it yet.
Saturday night some party or par
ties set fire to the yard fence of this
aged couple, who were quiet, in
offensive Germans, and hallowed
fire. They threw open their doors,
and as they emerged therefrom were
fired upon by some ambushed as
sassin, with shot gun loaded with
No. shot, the husband being in
stantly killed, and his wife receiving
wounds in the abdomen from which
the attending physician says she will
not recover.
So quiet was the matter kept that
the people in Cameron knew moth
ing of it for three days, and it was
not until then that physician was
summoned to attend the wounds of
the woman.
Mr.. Davis says there was meet
ing of the German citizens of that
city few days ago, and it was from
them that he heard of this brutal
assassination. They were consider
ably aroused, and will perhaps unite
in an effort to raise a sufficient re-
ward to insure the apprehension of
the perpetrators of this dastardly
crime.
LATER-At a late hour Saturday
night, after the above was in type, a
report reached this Office that the
man referred to, is not dead either.

Condolences.

A few days ago Miss Maggie
Watson, who has been spending the
past six months with relatives at
Rosedale, left for her home in Ire,
land. When she reached Galveston
she found that she was to sail on
the same vessel on which she came
over, and when handed a check for
her baggage noticed that it was the
same she had on her former trip.
When she was shown her berth she
found that it was the same one she
had occupied before and when she
reached the table the only va
cant place was the one she had been
seated at when on the steamer as she
came over.
Quite a strange coincidence, re-
marked d nearer of this story, which
reminds me of an experience, which
he told as follows: ga few years
ago not being satisfied with the po-
sition which I was filling, at 3
o'clock one Sunday afternoon 1
wrote to an old friend whom had
not seen or heard from directly, in
over year, asking him for employ
ment and stating that I would work
for $40 per month and board. 1t
would have taken four days for the
letter to go and return, but immag-
inc my surprise two days later when
l received letter from him stating
that he needed a man and happening
to think of me Sunday evening had
written to know if I would accept
position at the exact wages I had
named. The letter written at the
same time was equal to favorable
answer to mine, and to me seemed
strange coincidence, about equal to
that of Miss Watson"
