that he thought the Garrettson
bond should be- signed by some
Waco citizen or taxpayer before it

The error is apparent at sight.
The word "approved" was written

THE BXPARTE HEARING,

THE BXPARTE HEARING,
The city court met at 9:15 this
morning. The court room was we'll
filled, including several alderms n
among the audience. Mr.. Vorley-
Wright was present and occupied
one of the front benches. After
the marshal declared court open,
City Attorney Harrison arose and
stated that MIR. Vorley Wright was
present to answer the tubl nna.
AS Mr.. Vorley Wright took the
stand, the city attorney explained,
that as he had published an article
alleging wholesale violations of the
city ordinances at night on Austin
street, the witness might be able to
let the court know the name of
some of the offenders so that they
could be arrested. The object of
the hearing was to find out the VIC.
lators of the ordinances.
Witness testified that he had
lived in Waco eight months and
had occupied room 35 on the third
floor of the McClelland hotel for
seven months. In reply to ques.
ton, he stated that he did not re-.
ceive any assistance in writing the
article, no one prompted him to do
so and it was written at his own
instigation and knowledge. "Can
you name any particular night, )"
asked the city attorney, "when
there was 30 much disturbances,
drunkenness and revelly of which
you speak," -.
Ono sir, it was constantly prove.
liant during the summer months,
however.
"Can you name any person who
violated the ordinance prohibiting
drunkenness and disturbance of the
peace which you say was constant
and boisterous nightly?"
ono, sir, l do not know any par
ticular one, because l am not we'll
acquainted here"
"And yet you publish to the
world an article charging continual
lawlessness in Waco, and yet can.
not testify against single person.
Do you know of any one who has
ever violated any ordinance of the
city OF Waco at any timer"
Ono, sir; l can only say that l
know the ordinances have been
violated generallyf"
The mayor then asked him if he
he did not think that after publish
ing such a severe arraignment of
the city Of Waco, and such sweep
ing charges, he ought to be able to
name an instance of an ordinance
being violated and the name of the
party violating it so that he or she
should be punished.
Witness made the same reply.
repeating his former statement
regarding general violations.
elf you thought the officers were
negligent and did not perform
their duties, why did you not come
to the superior officials?"
81 did not consider that the
wisest course to pursue"
sit it not the duty of every citi.
zen, if not compulsory upon him, to
inform the officers when he sees the
laws broken?"
eyes, but the police should have
done that"
"Would you be able to make a
complaint against any one in Waco
for violating an orlinance?"
"No, sir; but as l have stated
before, the noise was general, and I
Vas frequently awakened by the
sounds issuing from the Streets"
Mr.. Vorley Wright's testimony
reiterated the statements which he
published.

DRY GOODS.

AN ALL E G A TON
Which we do not believe, can
not accept and therefore deny.
Rarely do we take exception
to articles published in the
newspapers for the purpose of
attracting trade) except they
be of a personal nature.
In Saturdays issue of this
paper in the advertisement of
one of our competitors the fol-
lowing unwarrantable claim
appears
ave have to-day more
cloaks and capes in our store
than all the houses in the city
put together.
Unless the competitor refer
red to has made inventories Of
the stocks of other merchants,
we are quite at a loss to know
by what means he obtained his
information and upon what
grounds he made the assertion,
After careful thought and
consideration we have arrived
at the conclusion that either
one of these reasons must have
been the basis of the egotisti-
cal assertion. Is it perhaps
possible that the gentleman re-
ferred to, anticipating large
trade, bought heavily and have
been disappointed in their sales
which leaves such an immense
stock as they speak Of? Or
perhaps they have an accumu-
lation of old stock which would
materially swell the quantity.
Notwithstanding the claim
made by our competitor, we
submit the following PROPOSE
ton; viz; We will prove by
this seasons invoices of pur-
chases of ladies', misses and
children's cloaks and capes
that we have bought more gar
ments than they have, and
will further prove, by the off.
cial record of our sales, that
we have, to say the least, sold
more, if not twice as many !;
and in the event Of the failure
to substantiate this claim we
will pay to our competitor as a
forfeit 500, provided he will
meet us on equal ground and
accept this proposition within
"a hours from the issue of this
article. Perhaps this will be
an easier and quicker way for
him to make money than by
selling cloaks.
