THE SMALLPOX CASE DISMISSED.

THE SMALLPOX CASE DISMISSED
Brenham's only case of smallpox
was discharged Wednesday morning,
and DIR. Hynes, the attending physi,
clan, in his report says that every
thing that can possibly carry the
contagion has been burned, and the
house in which he was confined has
been thoroughly carbolized, drench-
ed with stream from the water
works and is now undergoing q
thorough fummigation which will
be continued for a couple of days,
after which, he says, the house will
be perfectly safe for occupancy,
The doctor is of the opinion that
the citizens of BRENNAN have reason
to thank the city officials and Judge
Kirk for their prompt action in i'm
mediately isola4ing and taking every
sanitary precaution they could to
stamp out the dread disease, the
greatest among other precautionary
measures resorted to being vaccina-
ton.
The doctor says that he can safely
say that the case has been so sue.
cesHfully conducted and strictly
guarded that there is not the
slightest danger of its cropping out
from the case.
Mr. Williams, the gentleman who
was isolated at the same time, has
not had the disease, and it is not at
all probable that he will, and will be
released from his quarantine in due
time.
It was unfortunate for Brennan
that this case crept into our midst,
but the prompt action of the auth
tiles, and the successful treatment
the unfortunate victim received by
the attending physician reflects
credit upon both.
Brenham's smallpox is no more.

Arrest of Robt. Tamplin.

Mr.. Robt. Tamplin, who resides
some ten miles north of this city
but who is well known here, much
of his time being spent in the city
was arrested by a United States
Deputy Marshal Tuesday, and gave
bond here for his appearance in
Austin, to answer a charge of viola
ting the internal revenue law, being
charged with selling liquor without
license. He left Yesterday for that
city to answer the charge.
Some two weeks ago Deputy U.
S. Marshal Joe Marek carried Steve
Patrick and Abe Dorcas, colored, to
Austin as attached witnesses, and
the superstition is that it was upon
their evidence that the Indictment
was found, upon which Mr.. lamp
lin was arrested.

A GENTLEMAN who claims to be an
ardent republican, and when in his
cups, one of the color line oblitera-
ting kind, entered a prominent
saloon few nights ago, and after
imbibing to inebriation, was cursing
the country ont by sections and
Boosting that he had never been
put out of any place. While he was
wildly gesticulating sixzfoot colored
man came in who came to town with
him and he pointed to him as a man
that could whip any white man in
the house, whereupen a gentleman
who has passed middle life. but in
whose bosom glows the fire of re-
sentiment that will not brook an in
suit when it gets personal. and as
he was in the house, he begged
leave to differ, and still munching
at ham sandwich which he held in
one hand, hescaught the boaster by
the ear with two fingers of the other
and to the amusement of the crowd
led him to the door and kicked him
out, with the remark to go home
and tell his folks that he had at
least been put out of place one
time. The negro left his friend and
admirer at the beginning of the diff
ficulty and those who saw him leav-
ing say that he only struck the
ground in high places.
