AUSTIN. TEX, April 15.-The Twe1ty-
second session of the Texas legislature died
Il natural and peaceful death, as Que who.
feels in his last hours that he has n5SsaS~ed
in vain, and that the world has prOtited by
his stay in it. Texas; it is believed, will de.
rive much good from the work of the sses-
sion just ended. Unlike the legislatisR
bodies in Kansas and Colorado which cut
such ugly scallops and well nigh disgraced
themselves by their outlandish capers, the
Texas body was capable and self-respect-
ing one that did much that was rational and
wise. and little that might be called foolish
or mischievous. Apropos of the ability of
the average member of the Twenty-second
REPRESENTATIVE
who had spent good deal of time in Wash
ington and who was familiar with congress-
ional caliber said to the writer and others
only few days ago, that he could easily
pick out of the house twenty-five members
much above the caliber of the average con-
gresham. There was some excellent, yes,
tirSt-clasS legislative talent in both senate
and house, and an almost total absence of
the class of men who love to figure as OBJ
structonists or what is sometimes worse,
reformers of the modern style.
4 cursory glance over the work of the
session shows that 1887 bills in all were in
troduced in both houses. OF these Ga were
in the house and 800 in the senate. In the
house ninetytwo bills and joint resolutions
passed, and in the senate just one-half as
many, or forty-siy. Total number of bills
and Joint resolutions passed by both bodies,

SICK AND PENNILESS.
Bitter Experiences of a Family of
Emigrants.
Robbed in Texas, They Reach Sacra-
mento Sick, Poverty-Stricken
and Despondent.

A family, consisting of husband and
wife and four little children, We're found
wandering about the streets in the down
town portion of the city late on Wednes-
day night and taken to the Police Station,
where they were given food and lodging.
The parents were penniless, and all
were in a pitiable plight. The mother
was nursing a young baby about six
months old. The father was so weak
from sickness as to be hardly able to
stand, and one of the children was suffer-
ing from some aff1iction of the eyes.
Their condition was deplorable, and sew
eral of the police officers went about town
yesterday and collected a few dollars
from charitably inclined citizens for their
relief.
The mans name is e. f. Taylor, and
he is a very intelligent person. To a
RECoRD-UNIoN reporter he said yester-
day that he was heart-broken at his i'll
luck. He is a bricklayer by trade, and
short time ago started with his family
from Durham, y. c., for the Pacific
Coast. He bought through tickets to Los
Angeles. When the train reached San
Antonio, Tex, it had orders to remain
there four hours, and Mr.. Taylor thought
opportunity to stock the family
lunch-basket. He walked up the
street in search of restaurant,
and met man about two blocks from the
depot. He inquired the direction of the
nearest lunch stand, and the stranger
turned around and offered to show him
where he could purchase what he wanted.
They walked on together for some little
distance, and finally the stranger pointed
across vacant square and told Taylor to
walk through the lot to the other side,
where he would find a restaurant.
Taylor took the path, and had only
reached the middle Of the square when
somebody jumped up from the grass and
struck him a blow on the head, rendering
him unconscious.
When he recovered his senses he found
that his pockets had been rified and that
the sum of S780-every cent he possessed
together with his baggage checks and his
watch, had been stolen. His transporta-
! tlon tickets were, however, left him, and
| he continued his journey 10 Los Angeles
| The Supervisors of the latter city sent
| the family to San Francisco, and from
there they came to Sacramento.
Mr.. Taylor says his destination is
Hillsboro, Or, where he has number
of relatives.
Yesterday afternoon an appeal was
made to the Board of Supervisors for aid
for the sufferers. The members decided
that the best they could do would be to
send the family out to the County Hos
pital, where they would be comfortably
cared for until means can be found TO
send them to their destination.

Health Officer Nichols Does Some
Rapid and Effective Work.
The residence of John Nealis, at the
corner Of Sixth and NJ streets, was quar-
antined yesterday.
A case of smallpox was discovered
there, and Health Officer C. B. Nichols
lost no time in taking hold of the matter
in its insipiency. The sufferer is Mrs.
w. +. Mack, an actress, who was a
member of the Fakir Company,
whic played III this city a few
evenings ago. The lady says that it is
her belief that she contracted the disease
in Eel Paso, Tex. There were large
number of smallpox cases in that city
when her company passed through there.
The lady was taken i'll the day the COM
pany arrived here, and as she kept get
ting. worse the company had to leave her
here. She was removed from the hotel to
Mr.. Nealis'.
The real nature of her sickness was not
discovered until yesterday. DR.. Tyrrell,
President of the Board of Health, con-
firmed the diagnosis of the case, and then
steps were taken TO prevent the possi-
bility of the disease spreading.
Two police officers were detailed to
guard the Nealis residence yesterday
afternoon and last night, and nobody was
allowed to either enter or leave the house.
Last night the patient was removed to
the pesthouse, near the County Hospital.
The Nealis house was also thoroughly
