The Houston Age very properly re-

The Houston Age very properly re-
marks that Judge ought not to force a
verdict from jury, bat Judge Burke
was certainly excusable for express
ing disappointment after three
weeks t,ial that the jury could not
agree. We do not understand, as the
Age suggests, that he attempted to
force verdict. When judge is
thoroughly convinced that there are
no reasosable grounds for the disa-
greement of jury, he ought to insist
on an agreement, and that is about
all Judge Burke did in the case.

TIE GEOLOGICAL BURKAU.

<
Unprecedented in the history of
Texas has been the treatment OF the
general appropriation bill by this leg
islature. 1t is notorious that def
ciencies mounting up into hundreds
of thousands of dollars have been for
weeks waiting on the slow action OF
the legislature. 1t is a lasting dis
grace to q state like Texas that these
deficiencies should not be so provided
against that they could not occur, and
that men who do work for the state
at the low prices she gives should be
compelled IN addition to pay
ruinoue rates of interest TO
get cash on the states evidences
of debt; but when the legislature thus
carelessly, if not wantonly, delays the
appropriation bill these creditors OF
the state are done second injustice
For several we ks now the house has
dwaddled along with the appropri-
alton bill, making little or no real
progress with it, while in striving to
earn the reputation ofeconomists they
are spending more OF the STATES
money than they are saving.
But the crownipg work of iDjudi-
ciousness was done yesterday when
the bOuse in its morning session
cut the geological bureau off
without cent. That the senate
will submit 10 this it is not for
a moment believed; or If it
should pass both bodies it
is not doubted the governor will find
in this defect ample reason to demand
a reconsideration by means of the in
terpositlOn of his veto, The amount
fixed in the bill for this bureau was
$3t, 600 I, each year, and certainly
the sum was little enough How any
man can for q moment contemplate
the size of Texas and her undevel-
oped condition and not see the abso
lutte necessity for geological bureau
and survey would be indeed hard to
reconcile with any pretensions to
statesmanship. 1t was hard fight
some few years ago to educate Texas
up to this proper plane OF advanced
thought and progress and
put her in line with her
sister states. The bureau is
yet very young, but has done
exceedingly valuable work for Texas.
But there is also much that it has
done that is yet in preparatory
stage awaiting more complete devel
opment 70 now annihilate the
bureau would be to absolutely throw
away money that else would very
shortly Prove to have been most adj
mirably expended. We cannot be-
lieve Texas would be SO unwise. The
house in fit of i'll humor acted hast
lily yesterday, and committed an error
that cool second thought will today
correct.
Since writing the above the house
in afternoon session took back its
action of the morning and grudgiDgly
gave $40, 600 year, What apitiable
small! sum for 80 important a work
The senate should persistently con-
tend that II be reinstated to $4,000.

THE FIREMEN.

The greater part of the local cele-
bration devulved on the fire depart
ment, and right we'll did they dc
their work. In the morning tho an
nual parade and installation CT officers
occupied their time, the men forming
in line about 10 O'Clock on the old mar
ket square north of the Alliance cotton
yard. From there they marched to
Pecan street, thence to BraZOs, thence
to Second, thence TO Congress avenue
and thence to Eighth street and the
hail. AT the head of the column came
the recorder with his fire police toll
lowed by the Capital City band. The
companies then followed III the fol-
lowing order. East Austin No. 4,
Colorado No 2, Hook and Ladder No.
|, Protection No. 3, and Washington
No. !.
All of the hose carts were beauti.
fully decorated as well as Hook
and Ladder, the latter being
almost hid from sight in
evergreen, flags and bunting. The
most elaborate decorations exhibited
were, perhaps the work of the boys of
Colorado. Over the reel was Sus-
pended a large sized bell pure white
roses, while all four of tho wheels had
on the outside false wheel OF blue,
the horses also being decorated with
ribbon of the same color. The hose
carriage of East Austin was
drawn by their regular Team
and an extra pair Of beautiful bays
employ ed for the occasion, and was
beautifully and artistically covered.
Owing to the accident to one of their
horses, Protection did not have their
carriage in line, but the boys of their
company drew their new racing cart,
viii h looked neat and trim with its
varied embellishments Owing to the
fact that they were on duty, the deco
rations of Washington were not as
elaborate as the others, yet they were
appropriate and greatly admired.

experts az quick and long range shooting.
The hunt lasted for several months. They
patiently followed his trail in the hills,
made long night marches 10 surprise him,
lay by the roadside in wait for him and
never thought Of giving up because he
was hard TO catch. The Mexican learned
that they were after him and sent word
that he would kill them both if they did
not get out Of the hills. They ran on to
him at a stage station at last and almost
before he knew that there was a fight in
progress he was dead.
The two men were, of course, tremen-
dously elate9 over their success. and they
packed Geronimo's body out of the noun
tains and claimed the reward II
and his companion thought they had
never done so profitable a summers work,
but they found that getting the reward
was harder work than getting the bandit.
The body did not have the right number
of scars, nor were the-scars in the right
place. One sheriff said that Geronimo
was taller man; another thought that
the dead bandit had too much length.
They compared him with the descriptions
and postponed the payment of the re-
wards. Gray preserved the body as long
as he could. When he had to get rid of
it, he borrowed an old cavalry saber and
cut off the head, which he kept in coal
oil can full of alcohol. The
canned head kicked around Gray's
cabin, making him mad, until he could
stand it no longer. He made one more at
tempt to get the reward, and, failing in
that, he took off half the scalp as
memento and buried the head in the sand
near Tucson. In addition to his time and
trouble Gray spent several hundred dol
lars trying to get the reward on Geronimo
Balloon.
The head dried up in the sand until re-
Gently. Then Charles Robinson of Oak
land, who was down there with a party
of surveyors on the Southern Pacific, dug
it up. He carried it to the survey camp,
and finally brought it to San Francisco.
Wrapped in blanket and covered with
a gunny sack, the head has for u week
past been in stable on Fourth street,
near Townsend. The stablemen have ter
ritied the small boys of the neighborhood
with it, and have told any number of
blood-curdling tales about it, 1t has
stood for the head of John Sontag, Jesse
James and Wild Bill. II half the crimes
attributed to him were of his commission,
he was John Sontag, Jesse James and
Wild Bill rolled into one.
