A SLIGHT MISTAKE.

The STATESMAN gathers this in
formation from the Floresville Chroni.
Gle:
"The Austin da is in danger of be-
ing washed away. In consequence of
rise of several feet in the river last
Sunday, the Golfer dam gave way and
the waters rushed through gaps in
the main structure in torrents"
This reminds one of the old story of
"Three Black Crows" Perhaps the
mistake is only natural, however, and
THE STATESMAN will explain that the
gaps in the main structure" were
left there on purpose to afford an out
let for the water until the work on the
whole structure could be consider
ably further advanced than it is now.
In the course of time these gaps will,
one after another, be closed, the lowest
first, and so ON the structure will be
leveled up. One who did not know
the circumstances, and who read that
the water was rushing in tor
rents through gaps in the dam
would conclude that Austin
was putting up Buddenseik
job that would not hold together until
it was completed; whereas the truth
is that nothing short of an earthquake
would ever crack the wall of granite
that is being thrown across the Colo
RADIO at Austin.

WATERFRONT AT SAN ANGELO.

Several Miles of Railway and a Large
River Dam Washed Away.
Special to The Statesman.
SAN ANGELO, Tex, May Last
night about O'Clock strong wind,
accompanied by rain and veritable
waterspout from the north, struck
San Angelo, lasting nearly two hours.
Vegetables were beaten into the
ground and trees stripped of their
fruit. A large number of tin roofs
were perforated, among them the
Western Mercantile company, whose
losses on damaged goods are placed
at $1,000. The Santa Fe railroad COM
pany has several miles of track near
town washed away and there has
been no trains in or out of San Angelo
today. The Electric Light and Power
company's dam in the Main Concho
river was completely washed away.
Loss, $1,000.

The success of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in eff.cting speedy cure of
la grippe, colds, Group and whooping
cough has brought it into great de-
mand. Messrs. Pontius & Son of Cam

reputation second to none in that vi
entity. Jas. M. Queen of Johnston,

THE Hill papers are striving to fill
up their dreary columns with state
ments to the effect that Cleveland has
"become discouraged" and has con-
clnded to withdraw. Fancy to what
extremities the Hill party must be
driven when they will take refuge
behind such baseless assertions as
this. Cleveland'sprospects are grow
ing brighter every day, and the cry
all along the line is Cleveland and
tariff reform"

An Ohio Murder.

LIMA, o., May 5.-Superintendent
Wills of the Ohio Stone company, a
we'll known and highly connected
gentleman of this city, was murdered
in cold blood today by Michael Cain,
one of the employees of the Western
Stone company. Early this morning.,
when Wills was on his way t che
luarries, he was confronted by Ca.li,
with whom he had had some trouble a
few days ago. Wills endeavored to
pass him pleasantly, but Cain drew a
revolver and fired five shots, killing
him instantly.

THE Waco Day explains that it got
its information concerning the con-
dition of the state orphan asylum
from number of gentlemen who
attended the Odd Fellows reunion at
Corsicana, and that its informants
have since been it's severest critics.
That was one of those things which
are told in strictest confidence "be-
tween you and me, to go no further"
On the best of authority The STATES
MAN is informed the whole charge is
utterly groundless and cruel in its
injustice

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 5.-The board OF
appeals of the American Trotting 90.
ISOLATION yesterday disposed Of ne
following matters of general interest:
G. F. Mills of Dallas, Texas, VS.. Dan
w. Mills of Taylor, Texas, and chest
nut mare Julia L. This was case in
which first money was protested OH
the ground that Julia l.. was not
identical with the mare Annie j., as
stated in the protest and that the pro-
test should be overruled. The board
decided the winnings be retained in
the trust fund and that Levy Bros. OF
Galveston be cited to show cause why
they and the mare Julia l.. should not
be penalized.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1892-05-12

IT is in order for the Waco Day to
prove the truth of its assertions about
the state orphan asylum, or else take
it all back. No paper has a right to
wantonly injure state institution.
If the Days charges are true the
asylum should be Investigated. If
they are false, it would be honorable
in the paper to acknowledge that it
was mistaken.

THE CLEBURNE RIOT.

The disgraceful affair at Cleburne
should have the effect of making both
parties to the debate somewhat
ashamed of their followers and very
weary of the bitter campaign which
has made such scene possible. When
two candidates meet with the avowed
purpose to discuss tissues, not indi-
viduals," and measures, not men,"
it is objectionable that the discussion
should eliminate in an unseemly riot,
a disgrace to the state and to the
party. After such an experience as
this, it is evident that both Clark and
Hogg will be driven to the necessity
of conducting their campaign each for
himself, and each in different part
of the state; so that when Hogg
speaks none but Hogg men will go to
hear him, and when Clark has an APP
pointment none but Clark men need
be on hand. The debate is evidently
not what the average Texan needs.
1t is too heating for his fiery, impetu-
GUS nature, and makes him want to
howl and beat the tom-tom when his
opponent tries to speak. What the
Texan wants is speaker who believes
just as he does, and will not say any
thing he doesn't believe in, and he
can sit back in the shade and listen,
and drink pink lemonade, and hear
the whole argument, and never get
Oyerheated once.

SEVERAL of the state papers remark
thoughtfully, "The political situation

mean that the "pot is bubbling," and
excitement is at fever heat" and
'it Is war to the knife and the knife
