the coroner's lnquisltlon IS pure ana
simple murder. Regarding it as such
most solemnly protest against the grant,
ing of BAIL"
Mr.. Sease thereupon made very good
argument, quoted from the Constitution
on bail, saying that the evidence and
finding entitled Massey tolight bail. He
was not convicted of any crimei he went
to arrest yiolator of the law. II Massey
had not fired some of his party would
have been killed. Nobody would have
stood quietly by and see two pistols
drawn on him. He summed up by say
ing first, the laws were not being violated
by Massey; second, Massey was in
posse armed with law and warrant,
that Ballew was resisting arrest and
using extraordinary force, which was
justly met by such.
Then be went off on peroration about
the press, when Mr.. Schumpert stopped
the gamc. Justice Pope, after the>argu-
ment had been finished, squared himself
and made brief speech.
In addition 10 rendering his opinion as
to the bail he said that he had given the
matter no little consideration and had
carefully refrained from reading anything
in the newspapers about the case. He
said that it was greatly to be regretted
that the proceedings before the coroner
were not more complete, as in this case
matters Of detail were omitted, As he
understood the case, ho reviewed 1t that
the sheriff had warrant for the arrest of
several Moores aud Centre, and in one of
the cases the name Of the unfortunate
man Is given. That warrant was given
to the deputy sheriff.
We do not really know the offence
charged; the circumstances seem to
make it that he was wanted for viola
ton of the dispensarv law as we know it.
He goes to arrest these men and proceeds
with these constables.
Judge Pope laid special emphasis upon
the fact that the bond was allowed and
made light on account Of the fact that
Massey was an officer of the law and fixed
the bond at 81 1000, with two sureties and
not more than FIVE. The bond will be
given in Spartanburg,

BISMARCK AND WILLIAM.
ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION OF TIE
GREAT CHANCELLOR IN BERLIN.
Immense ThrOngs Along the Route Went
Wild With Enthusiasm-RecsIved by
the Empsror's Staff and Escorted
TO the Palace.

BERLIN, Jan. 26-Bismarck left
Erie iericschurhue at $50 o'clock this
morning for B,rlin. His physicians
and son Herbert accompanied him.
Great enthusiasm was manifested
along the entire route. Bismarck was
attired in full curiassier's uniform and
was in splendid spirits. Berliners
we're early astir to greet the great
chancellor. Vast multltudes are on
the streets and all in gala at
IRE Emperor William was
rantically cheered. Brilliant
staff officer waited the distinguished
arrival at the depot. The imperial
carriage carried him to the palace of
the emperor. where he was received by
William. Luncheon was served for
three, the emperor, empress and Bis,
marck. Tho immense crowd cheered
80 voCiferously that the emperor, em-
press and Bismarck and I've young
prince were frequently obliged to go to
the windows of the palace and bow to
the multitude.
At o'clock Chancellor Won Caprivi,
Attended Oy tne secretary Ol SIdltI
called at the castle, leaving their cards
for Prince Bismarck After luncheon
the imperial prince visited the ex
chancellor. He then visited the ex-
empress of Germany. At 6:10 Bismarck
gave a dinner to 10 distinguished
guests including the emperor and EN-
press and king Of SaXony. Biruarck
left on his return trip to Fliederich'
sonke at 7:l9.
The reconciliation of the emperor
aud Bismarck is variously commented
upon by the new spapers. An eXpIana-
ton may be found in a statement at
tributed to Baron de Courcel, French
ambassador, who is quoted rs saying
the desire for reapproachment with
Russia possibly influenced the emperor.
1t is far more likely to have sprang
from a desire of the emperor to become
reconciled before the desth of Bis
marck.
1t is generally believed that the
emperor had been privately informed
by DR.. Schweinger that Bismarck has
not long to live. The reconciliation
may result in the return of Herbert
Bismarck to the diplom ttic service,

then very promptly said he would
make the same kind of contract. SO
it was made with him, as the board
of pub works thought as he had
peen the first contractor no should
have the first option.
The trade with the penitentiary
was worked up by Mr.. A. p. WooId-
riuge, TO whom the very greatest

Being on the board of public works,
he knew what it wanted and being

wanted. He knew the
p+nitentiary had lying idle at Ru>k
6O0C tons OF pig iron and over 20O0
tons of pipe, just what the city want.
Ell, aud yBt which the penitentiary
could not sell. SO he considered the
idea of the state selling the pipe to
Austin tor half bonds and half caah.
Gen. w. II Handy, another member
of the board, warmly approved OF che
idea and the plan was almost perfect
q when Mr. Harrison came to Aus
tin. Messrs Woodbridge and Handy
being a majority Of the penitentiary
board the contract would
have been made with the
city, but as said, the board
Of public works felt unde, obligations
to this Howard Harrison Lion com
pany if they would take the contract
under the same conditions of pay
ment; they doing thi, the contract
went to them.
But Austin is in the enviable pO-
sirIOn of having two rich parties, the
great state of Texas and the greatest
pipe manufacturer in the United
tates trying to Guido each other in
getting q contract with her. The
board of public works and the city
Council ratified the contract with the
Howard Harrison company yester-
day ana Mr.. Harrison left tor
New Orleans last night with a copy
OF it in his pocket He said he would
ship 1000 to Of pipe next Monday,
and it will arrive in Austin next
week.
