Futures-Markets on this side want

Alabama and all of the Atlantic
states and that the plant is truiting
New York is about 5 points and

advices today from Liverpool are that
holders of cotton, who bought as an
investment and who have not sold
futures against their purchases, are
now causing much of the weakness

pressure to sell. We are pay

way of getting promptly anything
concerning the same, and whatever
its varying conditions may be we will
give our readers due notice through
this medium. Our letters today from
Texas say crops are superb, fine rains
and the outlook good for a large crop.
Spot sales 800 bales. Our market re-
fleets the absence of demand in Liver

FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR BOND.
Frank Bowron of Santa Anna Under Bond
for Killing His Father.


Special to The Statesman.
SANTA ANNA, Tex, June 2S.-Ihe
examining trial of Frank Bowron for
the killing of his father was concluded
last night at u o'clock. His bond
was placed Mt $4,000, which he readily
gave. The testimony of the family
goes to show that for some time past
Bowron had been crimnally intimate
with his daughter and secured her
silence by telling her that he would
kill her if she ever told it and would
also kill the one whom she might
tell.
Some days ago she having become
alarmed as to her condition, told her
mother of her fathers abuse and also
told her of his threats. On Friday
morning the old man learned that his
daughter had told her mother, he at
once proceeded to carry his threat into
effect and would doubtless have sue
ceeded had his son not been present.
The family have the sympathy of the
community.

Court on the subject of shorthand reporters
fees.
The court ordered a writ to issue in the
case of Sarah NJ. James VS.. Judge Mccain
of one of the Superior courts. She was a
contestant for letters of administration in
an estate, and judgment went against her.
She filed notice OF appeal, but while
settling the bill Of exceptions all proceed
ings were stopped by the Judge, becaise
she would not nay the fees to the shorthand
reporter. The appellate writ held that the
ground upon which the Judge vested his re-
fusal 10 settle the bin is not tenable.
In some respects, declared the opinion
the statutory lay about the payment of re-
porterS' fees is in an uncertain and I'M
settled condition. Prior to March 90. 1885.
the law was in Section pa of the Code OF
Civil Procedure. The Legislature then
passed bill Undertaking TO amend the sec
ton by ie-enactlHg 1t so as 10 provide for
fixed monthly salaries to reporters. payable
out of county treasures; and that certain
fees to be paid By liigants for reporting be
paid into such treasures.
That ATTEMPTED amendment was held IN
constitutional, so far. at least, as il at
tempted TO confer upon courts the power to
fix salaries; ana as the other parts Of the
amendment are based upon the theory that
the salaries were 10 be so fixed, and are
interviewer with the system sought to be
established, it is probable, says the court,
that the whole amendment fails. In that
event the SECTION as IL stood before is still
the law, and If this construction is correct
then the provision Is that the reporters fees
for taking notes In civil cases shall be taxed
up by the clerk of the court as costs versus
the party against whom judgment is
rendered.
II, on the other hand, there is ANYTHING
left Of this attempted amendment, then the
provision is that leach party shall pay a
per diem of So 90 before Judgment or YER
dict is entered" said per diem to be paid to
the clerk and by him into the treasury.
Neither provision warranted The action
taken in the case at bar. In this case the
reporter did his work voluntarily aud with
out demanding security; and after that the
view most favorable 10 his right that could
be taken is that tie petitioner is his debtor.
To enforce payment the Judge had not the
power TO refuse to settle the bill of excep-
tioDs, Tor in doing so lie practically de-
StTOyed her right OF appeal.
