A Smashup.

Yesterday just after dark collision
occurred between two buggies and q
hack on West Pecan street breaking
up the buggy of Mr.. Flume and throw.
ing out Mrs. Flume and her two small
children. Mr.. Sendry was coming up
the street and seeing the buggy, pull
ed out to the side of the road and Just
as Mr.. Flume was along side the hack
three men in another buggy driving a
fast horse at about a three minute
clip attempted to pass between the
Car track and Mr.. Fumes buggy.
There not being sufficient space Mr..
Fumes buggy was thrown against the
wheel of the hack and overturned.
For while it looked like the lady and
both the children would certainly be
killed, but after getting things to
rights it was discovered that beyond a
very bad scare TO the children and a
severe shock TO the lady, nobody was
hurt. The gentle horse deserves an
extra feed of oats for his good conduct,
for the least attempt to run would
have brought serious results.

A Texas Invention That Should be Exhib.
tied at the Worlds Fair.
The following letter explains itself
AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. 8, 1890.
President of the Texas Convention for the
Columbian Fair:
SIR-Permit me to call your atten-
ton to my system of musical tele-
graphy, which I offered to the United
States centennial. commission for its
development and exhibition at the
centennial celebration, and further to
see by their published proceedings OF
that year that the project was favora-
bly, received.
l presented the subject to the COM
mission of the Columbian fair to be
held in Chicago in 1898, and the spe-
cial facilities we have IN this "day OF
electricity" to develop musical tele-
graphy. My proposition was put on
tile for future action.
My object in ting this matter
to your honor is to make it Texas
enterprise.
The expense in carrying it out
would be small, taking into considera-
ton the results. About $4,000 would
pay for the construction of electrical
attachments for ten pianos, including
the key board, under the Jurisdiction
OF a musical director, whose Office is to
render expression to the music. The
pianos, I doubt not, could be loaned
almost from any of the piano manu-
facturers to secure the advertising
effects.
The subject before you has been
well matured and approved by leading
electricians.
In 1869 made it the subject of q
public lecture delivered in the Crosby
opera house in Chicago and other
leading cities of the country, and in
1873 gave it a critical scientific exam
ination before the Franklin institute
of Philadelphia.
With these facts before you, and
believing that the enterprise would
subserve the interests of Texas, l re-
spectfully submit the subject to your
consideration. Very truly,
Your obedient servant,
G. P. HACHENBERG, M. d.

One Valuable Result,

Henry Clews, the we'll known fnan-
cier, alluding to the late crisis in
financial circles, says:
The crisis has had one valuable in
direct result. 1t has brought to a
very sharp accountability the reckless
Encouragement that has landed some
of our best railroad properties in their
present sorry financial condition. 1t
has also created an opportunity for
buying up stocks so as to enable CAPT
talists of greater ability and favoring
better methods to get control of a
large mileage of important roads. The
virtual cutting in two of the prices of
such stocks as Rock Island, Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy, Illinois Cen
trail, st. Paul, Union Pacific, Atchison
and Topeka, etc, has aroused a deep
feeling of discomfort among stockhold
ers, who will be satisfied in future
with nothing short of management
that secures satisfactory net earnings
as well as large tonnage. Mr.. Gould's
lead in new policy of cooperation
among the Southwestern roads gives
promise of being valuable lesson in
the direction of conservative manage
ment. These facts are suggestive of
an improved future condition of the
railroad interest, and they are likely
to lead to lasting improvement in
stocks when the money market be-
comes more settled.

RECORDERS COURT.
THE HIGH COURTS.
COURT OF APPEALS.


TYLER, Tex, Dec. 6, 1890.
D. H. Hirshfield vs. City of Dallas.
Conviction for pursuing the occupation
OF a ticket broker and scalper without
first paying and procuring a license
therefor. l. Under section 100 of the
Dallas city charter the city is given
the power to license, tax and regulate
certain enumerated occupations, "and
all other trades, professions, occupa-
tons and callings, the taxing OF which
is not prohibited by the constitution
OF the State of Texas, which tax shall
not be construed as tax on property"
Held: The city under It's charter and
ordinances has the right to levy an &C.
cupation tax on ticket brokers and
scalpers. While the State does not
tax ticket brokers and scalpers, still
under the charter and ordinances, the
city had the right to levy the tax. 2.
There was no evidence that the tax of
$500 levied by the city was more than
enough to regulate the business. Two
witnesses swore that the tax was pro.
hibition of the business, and this evil
denee was not contradicted If this
be true, and the occupation is not
per Sc injurious to the public
the ordinance is void. In view of
this unimpeached evidence that the
tax amounted to prohibition of the
business, we feel constrained to hold
the ordinance void, because in excess
OF the power OF the city council and
prohibits the pursuit of an occupation
which any citizen would have the
right to pursue under reasonable tax
restriction and regulation. The Or
dlnance is invalid and the judgment
is illegal. Reversed and remanded.

Bastrop. Robbery. |. The indict-
ment was presented and filed Oct. 10,
1889. The evidence showed the ofiense
to have been committed Oct. 7, 1890.
Held: We cannot presume the date
OF the commission OF the offense was a
clerical error nor can we presume the
offense was committed anterior to the
filing of the indictment. Because the
evidence does not show the offense to
have been committed anterior to the
filing of the indictment, the cause is
reversed and remanded. Wilson. J.
