Horrible deaths seem quite common Of
late, and appear to be growing still more
frequent. Late advices tell of an Indiana
man who fell into vat of boiling lye in a
paper mill Death was almost instantane-
Gus. Carelessness is the chief cause of these
horrors. When men become accustomed to
danger they become needless until a sudden
accident plunges them to death. Next we
shall probably be horri1ed by the announce
ment that some baker has been crushed into
sausage by The sudden fail Of mince pie.

When New York life convict recently
attempted to fire himself out Of the Auburn
peniteutiary by setting fire to his clothing,
he explained that he was sacrificing himself
as burnt offering to the Lord But the
keepers who saw the blaze seemed to think
it indicated no good to them and they fired
their guns at him. As he was directly in
front of them, however, and they were only
penitentiary soldiers of course they didn't
hit him

whom he had long kept an account When the
latter was finally made up says the Boston
IfGoeIer, the bill mostly for tri1ing services
covered several yards Of foolscapS, as the items

When the client came around to settle he re,

and, holding one end of the bill, unroled the
voluminoIs document in the direction of his
legal adviser, with the request that he receipt
it,

The Silver Pool Scandal.

The Senate has declared in favor Of free
silver coinage, and the House will do the
same thing, doubtless, but nothing has been
done toward investigating the charge that a
number of senators and representatives
formed pool last session to speculate in
silver. The resolution asking for an inves-
LEGATION did not have the approval of
Speaker Reed, apparently, and, hence, its
progress through the House was blocked
But why should Speaker Reed or any
other member of congress object to reso-
luton which had for its object the investl-
cation Of a scandalous charge. The charge
may or may not be true. If true the people
ought to know it. If false its falsity ought
to be made apparent and the cloud upon
congress removed.
There are members of congress who had
inside information relative to the probabiI>
ity of the passage of the silver bill that be-
came law last session, and if any of them
were spectators in silver they naturally
exerted themselves to have the bill passed.
No member of congress should put himself
in a position to have his conduct as a legls-
lator influenced by money considerations.
The course which Speaker Reed pursued
with respect to the resolution of investiga-
ton caused the suspicion to be entertained
that the charge that members of congress
were in silver pool had some foundation.
A scandal like that Of the Credit Mobilier,
which smirched the regulations of so many
republican statesmen, would not be pleas
ant thing for the republican party. But, if
there were senators and representatives who
were interested in a silver pool, the fact
ought to be made public, The results of
screening wrong-doers cannot be otherwise
than hurtful.

novel idea. But that is what Prof. Ed

JUDaING from the number of calls
for mortgages at this office, the far
mers are putting in a pretty fair
crop this season. Its a mighty poor
crop to raise and good land, like that
of Washington county, is not the
kind of soil that the things are
usually put in on, but if some of our
farmers must needs plant them, they
should endeavor TO raise them and
get them of the farm as early as
possible, for they are an encum-
hrance to the farms of any section
and if allowed to remain over from
one year TO another get such a hold
on the soil that they are still harder
to eradicate, and when permitted
to run for few years have been
known to take a farm bodily, crowd

Brenllam.s Ice Fnctory.

Before the close of the last season
Brenham's Ice factory closed down
on account of the machinery being
in such poor condition that the fac.
tory could not be run probably, and
in consequence there was COM
plant loud and long about having
to get ice shipped'from other points,
and at OF course an increased price
and much greater waste in trans
portation.
This trouble all promises to be OBJ
waited this season. The factory will
be run again.
A reporter passed there Saturday
aud noticed number of workmen
overhauling machinery, and forth
with sought Mr.. Heber Stone, owner
of the factory, to ascertain what was
to done. From him it was learned
that the plant was to be thoroughly
overhauled and renovated, new boil
ers put in and that Messrs. Beaumier
Bros. l. Co., who have leased it for
the season, will start it up by
the middle of March or the first OF
April.
The capacity of the factory will
be six tons per day, which will be an
adequate output to supply the city
with all the ice il needs.
This will be much more conven
lent to say nothing of the saving of
cost in wastage and freight, than
sending to other markets for the ice
consumed here, and the news of the
factOry's starting up again will be
welcome news to thepeople of Bren-
ham.
