There is an old couch in the bat cave
that has done service past years
for the sick, the dying and the dead 1t
was bought on the night that Ben
Thompson shook his ghost in the old
Vaudeville theatre. He was the first
man to be stretched out upon the cot, and
since then it is estimated that some two
hundred and fifty people at least, have
been stretched out upon that couch to
breathe their last. Hundreds more of
wounded or homeless sick have lain on it
and gained a nights rest until arrange
mentS could be made to convey them to
the hospitals or their homes, if they had
any. The old cot has history, rich and
replete with tales pOrtraying only the
miSeries which have fallen to the lot Of
countless creatures here on earth, and the
days of its service are not done with
yet.

A CAUTION.
SOMETHING FOR PATRONS OF THE
POsTOFFICE TO PONDER OVER.
Extracts From the Lottery Law t,
Which Special Attention Is Called
Pointers for the People

The following circular has been sent
out from the postal department at
Washington and it is of Importance to
some foil in this city:
1.-The attention of patrons of the
postoffice is called to the fact that the
law lately enacted prescribing penal
ties for using the United States Mails
for the conveyance or transmittal of
LOTTERY
matter of any kind, applies as we'll to
the person mailing money, money
orders. postal notes, or drafts to lot
terry companies or their agents, as it
does to the lottery companies and
their agents.
All persons are therefore warned
not to use the mails for such purposes,
and attention is called to the follow
ing extract from the law on the subject
passed Sept. 10, 1890:
Revised Statutes of the United
States
Section 1894. No letter, postal card
or circular concerning any lottery, So
called gift concert or other similar en-
terprise offering prizes dependent
upon lot or chance. or concerning
schemes devised for the purpose of OBJ
tanning money or property under false
pretenses, and no list of the drawings
at any lottery or similar scheme, and
no lottery ticket or part thereof, and
no check, draft, bill, money, postal
note or money order for the purchase
of any ticket, tickets, or part thereof,
or of any share or any chance
in any such lottery or gift en-.
terprise, shall be carried in the mail
or delivered at or through any post
office or branch thereof, or by any let
ter carrier; nor shall any newspaper,
circular, pamphlet or publication OF
any kind containing any advertise
ment of any lottery or gilt enterprise
of any kind Offering prizes dependent
upon lot or chance, or containing any
list of prizes awarded at the drawings
of any such lottery or gift enterprise,
whether said list is of any part of or all
of the drawing, be carried in the mail
or delivered by any postmaster or let
ter carrier. Any person who shall
knowingly deposit or caused to be de-
posted, or who shall knowingly send
or cause to be sent, anything. to be
conveyed or delivered by mail any
thing herein forbidden to be carried
by mail, shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor, and on conviction shall
be punished by a fine of not more
than five hundred dollars or by i'm
prisonment for not more than one
year, or by both such fine and impris-
onment for each offense."

A Moonlight Night.

How many life has been changed
for better or worse on a moonlight
night. Such night was last night
when the moon was bathing in its soft
radiance both hill and dale, church
steeples and vine clad cottage. There
is peculiar magnetism and inspiration,
attendant upon a moonlight night
that comes at no other time. Many are
the tales of alteration that have been
whispered meath the beams of that
same body, fields of battles that have
been bathed in the silvery light of that
placid disk that shines with the same
serenity on both strife and peace. 1t
shines alike on the just and the I'M
just. it steals through the foliage and
hovers over the graves of the dead and
it casts its rays through the breeze
stirred curtains of the rich mans open
parlors. 1t brings blessings to the
farmer and joy and happiness to the
rich, it brings peace to man and rest
tc the weary beast Of toll.

Did Not Leave His Card,

A few days ago bold thief entered
a jewelry store on East Pecan street in
broad daylight and carried off mum
Der of watches and other jewelry. He
did not leave his card or address, so
the proprietor engaged the services OF
one of Austin's most cunning detect
ives to hunt him down. 1t has beer
kept very quiet and the reporters in
formant refused to give names, but
said the robbery was fact. The de
tective is hard at work, but so far hal
not discovered the slightest clue. Th'
robbery was committed while the
proprietor was out on the street.

THEY ARE FAvoRABLY IMPRESSED,

The Owners of the Mule Car Line Will in all
Probabilities Substitute Electricity.
"Well, 1 think they have about
decided"
While STATESMAN reporter was
talking with a prominent business
man about the contemplated change
in the mule car street railway, he
made the above remark in such a
knowing way that the scribe immedi-
ately proceeded to the Driskill hall
and sent up his card, and of course
was invited up.
Mr.. Watriss met the reporter and in
answer to the question. Have you
come to any definite conclusions yet,"
he said.
"Well-no, not exactly. We are
very much impressed with Austin, and
know full we'll that the mule car is too
slow for a live city like Austin, but we
must act deliberately. There are a
great many things we will have to con-
tend with in making chang in our
system, but / will say this much, it is
not for lack of capital"
us there any truth. in the report you
have made the Austin Rapid Transit
street railway a proposition to buy
hem out or that they have made you
proposition to SELL"
1--WE are not ready to talk yet. but
in all probability when we return we
will have arrived at some definite con-
clusion."
"Then you are going away?"
Eyes Messrs. Judson, Wetterbee,
Ferguson and myself leave tomorrow
for San Antonio, Houston and the
days, and shortly after our return to
Austin we will let you know just what
we intend doing"
These gentlemen are all large CAPT.
talists, and if they conclude to put in
an electric system it will be first class
in every particular and q credit to
Austin. They have been in Austin
now several days, and during that time
have driven all over the city. They have
talked but little to outsiders and so
far little or nothing is known of their
plans in regard to their road. There
| is, however. every reason to believe
that it will be made an electric system,
but under what circumstances, and
how it will affect the Austin Rapid
Transit Street railway is not known.
The reporter wass introduced to all
the gentlemen and from their CONVEX
sation it was easy to be seen that they
were very much impressed with Aus
tin, and fully realize the fact that the
mule car line was not in keeping with
Austin and her progressive ideas.
AS soon as their plans shall have
been consummated the STATESMAN
will give them in full. In the mean
time it will be well to add that they
mean business and the citizens of Aus
tin can rest assured that the entire
mule line will be electrified.

IN THE HANDS OF UNDERWRITERS.

The Capital Clothing House Damages Much
Larger than at First Estimated
Mr.. Abe Williams and all his clerks
were busy yesterday in going over the
the stock of clothing damaged by the
fire of Monday night. The water did
much more damage than was at first
thought. In THE STATEsMAN's re-
port of the fire. the estimated dam
ages was put at $4,000. This, Mr.. Will
liams says, is entirely too small, that
being about the damage done in the
tailoring department where the fire ORR
ginated, but further thanthat the water
soaked through and played havoc
with the goods on the first floor. AS
near as can be estimated so far the
damages will foot up to nearly $4,000
The underwriters have all been mott
fed and the loss will be adjusted in
day or 50. In the meantime Mr.. Will
liams asks customers to be patient.
Mr.. Williams has in the neighborhood
OF $50, 900 worth of goods and it is very
fortunate that the loss is no greater.
Had the fire broken out in the uight,
the chances are that the entire stock
would have been destroyed or dam
aged.

Shot Himself In the Head

MOBILE, Ala, May 1S.-Lloyd
Bowers, late cashier of the First Ma
tional bank, shot himself this morning
with pistol ball in the head. He is
still alive but unconscious and may dia
at any moment. 1t is rumored he was
short financially but on investigation
this proved groundless. He was worth
100000. The cause was mental aber-
ration consequent of ill health and
from trouble. He did the deed before
a dresser. The ball entered the mid
die of the forehead.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1891-05-21

and how, few weeks thereafter, he
was released, as the evidence then had
against him was not thought >suffi-
cient to. warrant his being held.
Since his release it seems that addi-
tional evidence has been secured which
the grand jury has carefully consid-
cred, with the result that on Monday
afternoon Turner was arrested by
Deputy Sheriff Peck on the charge of
murder
1t may also be interesting to know
that at present there is pending in
Judge Robertson's court a suit brought
by Turner against Sheriff White for
5000 damages for false Imprisonment
at the time of his former arrest.
