DECORATION DAWN HAMILTON


Memorial day was quitely though
reverently observed in Hamilton. The
remnant left of us, for our ranks are
broken, our number diminished, re-
ceived invitations from the 10. O. F.
to meet at their hall and unite with
them in paying loving tribute to the
Nations dead on the hallowed day
consecrated to them. Our beautiful
flag so interviewer with their memory,
hung at ha mast ON various buildings,
its soft strong folds dropped as if par
taking our universal grief. The cere-
monies were brief but Interesting and
began with an invocation by The pre-
siding officer; hymn by the choir, a
prayer by the Chaplain Mr.. D. Nc
Lean, memorial services by the Order,
directed by Mr.. Peterson, N. q. The
procession then formed the children in
advance, TheOdd Fellows, members of
the GA. r Loyal Legion and other So
CLOTHES fol owed by citizens marched to
the cemetery, each one in line carrying
boquets, wreathes, flowers and ever
greens to place upon the graves of
br theirs, soldiers and FRIENDS Nearing
the silent city tho children separated;
the Odd fellows passed through the
lines, advanced and took their places
ct tt 9 graves first of the Orders, when
appropriate rites were observed at
each, the graves were decorated, then
volleys were fired over the graves of
the G "A. R. and Loyal Legion, prayers
followed by the benidiction closed the
exercises. We left the dead crowned
with beautiful flowers TO sleep their
dreamlsss sleep. The procession re-
formed. We wsnt home sadly, our sor-
row so;tened by the thought that
woun1s inflicted in the long ago are

f.tel, the gap is closed, we are a re-

"A Plan Thwarted in Mexico by Which

Mexico City, Feb. "a well planned
attempt at a wholesale Jail delivery has
been thwarted by Colonel Simon Sautel-
la, warden of Belem prison. Suspicious
were aroused some days ago, and by a
search of the department assigned to
the night school, the discovery was made
of Il monster tunnel close to the door of
the school room. After cutting through
the foundation upon which rests the
walls of the gallery where the condemned
are confined, the underground passage
continued forty yards, perforating the
walls that lodge the hundreds of prisoners
that are awaiting trial. The engineer
ing feat, which has miscarried within u
few days, would release 1000 criminals,
as the tunnel had been planned to pass
under all departments of the prison, so
that it could have been reached by digging
Il few feet beneath the floors of the vari-
Gus wards.

New Orleans, Jan. .. 1S95.-The
judges this morning decided the city of
Austin case and ut once wired you that
the decision had been favorable and had
refused the injunction. | now write to
give you a little more details.
The decision was rendered by Judge
Pardee, was oral, and the general line
of his decision was about as follows:
lie stated that it might be unnecessary
for him to say as much as he was about
to state, as some of the points which he
would state might not require decision
at the present moment but the general
trend of his decision was that the city of
Austin had power to make the contract
which she did make, and that, notwith-
standing the Brennan case, the court
was of the opinion that the power even
existed in Texas to make an exclusive
contract for waterworks, and that the
power existed almost cX-necessitate; that
in this particular case, however, it would
suffice to say that the contract was not
exclusive. and that it could not possibly
be held exclusive by the court. The in
junction, he stated, must, therefore, be
refused, not only because the contract
was not exclusive, but also by reason
of the enormous damage that would be
done if the injunction were granted and
damage which could not in any manner
be compensated for, whilst the damages
which might be done by not granting
the injunction were clearly compensate
in money This is about a synopsis of
the decision. ..,-.

Fathers, husbands, sons and brothers,
| come to you with the united prayer of
the mothers of our lovely state to plead
Wlth wou in behalf of our girls and what
~ more precious than q pure young girl
whether yours or mine? But to me the
very thought of having to appeal to the
men of our state to protect the young
girls, who are the pride and treasures
OF our homes, is humiliating. Where are
the manly men, where is the true type
uf our Southern gentleman of whose
chivalry we have always boosted? A
gentleman is gentleman whether occu-
rylng the governors chair or q place in
the town market, and they should insist
that it is their right and wish to protect
the innocent and helpless. Girls are
mere babies at the age of u and II if
they are in the hands of wicked and de-
signing men. But why have to discuss
this unpleasant subject? Surely if our
state must have a law of this sort for
shame that it must) in the name Of Him
that loved and blessed the children, let
ne ask you fathers, husbands, let me
plead with you to protect them until they
are old enough to protect themselves.
If this age is raised to Is it will crown
our men anu Lne very ntllnc Oh our lONely
Texas with an honor that they both de-
serve. Mothers in other states looking
this way will say to their husbands,
ives, l will go with you and take my
daughters to state where they will be
protected by people who cultivate such
noble principles, and we, the women of
our sunny Southern land can hold up our
heads and say with pride, "This is the
work of our good fathers, husbands, sons
and brothers." Otherwise, how crushed
and heart sore we shall feel! Then, in
honor to your gray-haired mothers,
wives. sisters and trusting daughters,
also for the fair name Of our great state,

If there must be something OF this kind,
I pray YOU in Christ's name to make the

selves as well as to us. Let this body of
LEGISLATORS have the honor Of doing this

GOOD NEWS.
Austin Will Have Another Big Whole
sale Grocery House.

Austin VIII Have Another Big Whole
sale Grocery House.
Good news seldom comes single handed,
and today when the readers of The States
man see in our columns the good news
regarding the knocking out of the injunct-
ion suit at New Orleans they will also
see that Austin is gradually forging to the
front as a business center from the fact
that we are to have another big whole
jlle grocery house. l. Heidenheimer.
Jr. & Co. is the style of the new firm of
importers and wholesale grocers. They
have leased the Radam building, corner
of Congress avenue and Fourth street,
where they expect to be opened up and
ready for business within the next few
days. Many carloads of goods have al
ready arrived, but the largest portion is
yet en- route. The firm are well known
business men, with plenty capital to buy
where they can get goods the cheapest.
They are both experienced dealers. Mr..
Heidenheimer is well known to the trade
of Austin and tributory territory, as he
has but recently severed his connection
from the firm of Nelson Davis Il Co.,
while Mr.. l.. Sinsheimer, the COM
pany, was for five years travelling sales
man and adjuster for one of the largest
wholesale houses in Galveston. It's a
strong combination of business ability and
capital and they will without doubt di-
vide business with the big houses of the
state. Austin needs lots of just such
houses and with such men at the head
of them our city will ever prosper.

WHERE'S THE MAN.

If the man who put up the stove and
pipe in the editorial room of The States
man will kindly call he will be given q
recommendation, the presentation of
which will promptly cause the organiza-
ton of u cheerful and very earnest lynch
ing bee. Since the advent of stove pipes,
they have been the bane of the human
family and probably have created more
family disturbances and caused more
"cussing" than any other thing on earth.
The genius who put up the one in the
editorial room of The Statesman has
struck upon combination that the at
tentiOn of undertakers and grave diggers
is called to. Its general introduction over
the country will stimulate suicidal tenden-
cies and vastly increase the death rate.

awning yesterday morning arranging tel

power wire and was knocked senseless.
He fell on the wire and had it not been
for the promptness of his companion in
breaking the wire he would have been
killed. AS it was, his head was slightly
burned and his wrist and one finger very
severely so. He will probably lose his
finger. The shock to Mr.. Newman was
