The Judiciary cost the state
about 81 100000 annually, and
the Comptroller says much OF
this cost is brought about:
First. In not dispoSing OF
eases by speedy trial.
Second. The accounts show
that in cases continued witnes-
ses are summoned and reattach-
ed at each term of the court at
which the case is called.
Third. The tendency to mul-
tiply the number of cases by
presenting separate indictments
against each of several persons
who acted together. Also find
ing a number of indictments
and bringing separate cases
against the same defendant.
Fourth. Great number of in
dictments are found where dis
missals are had without trial,
the cause for dismissal being
shown to be insufficiency of
evidence, and on motion Of dis
trict attorney.
MORE BONDS WANTED.
To the establishment of most
of the people Of Austin, the
Mayor has asked for another
bond issue of 100000 to com
plete the city water and light
plant. The people all along
have been led to believe the
81 100000 would be ample and
up to very short time ago
they were given to understand
that there was plenty of mon
ey. Hence, the call for 5000,
600 more bonds has been truly
a surprise but it looks asif they
will have to be voted if the
works are to be made perfect.
1t will require 4 two-third vote

Antonio Aicardi, an Italian,
made a desperate attempt to
TO murder his wife here last
Monday, firing at her five times,
three of the shot taking effect,
but not seriously wounding the
woman. Alcardi had evidently
deliberately planned the murder
and had a written confession
purporting to be that of his
wife, acknowledging that she
had deceived him and had been
untrue to her marriage vows.
This he evidently intended
should be used to eXonorate
him from blame and after
shooting his wife and leaving
her for dead he hurried to the
police station where he told
what lie had done and gave the
officers the printed confession
to show why he committed
the crime.

LEGISLATIVE MATTERS.
Appropriation Bills Likely to

News.

Spe' ial Correspondence of THE HERALD
Austin. Texas, March 21st.,
1895.-The Legislature is now
getting to the important bills
and the Senate is deep in the
mire fioundering with the APP
preparation bill. Thus far the
retrenchment knife has only
Topped off a few dollars from
the Office porters and ice bills.
The recommendation for $780,
600 for a new governors man
sion and for the improvement
of the grounds has been ignor-
ed and the mansion will get
$4,000 only for repairs.
The total appropriations ask
ed for by the heads of depart
ments for this and next year
was s., 251. 0S5, while the Comp
troller's estimate of receipts for
the two years under the present
rate of taxation is only So, $685.

the two years of 1857, TAG, in
addition to the big deficiency
now existing. The legislature,
by refusing certain items and
by reduction of salaries, may
get the total amount of appro-
priations for the two years a
little below 100000, but at
this figure the Comptroller's
department declares taxes will
have to be so cents this year
and 25'cents next year to meet
the expense account and pay
accrued deficiencies in revenue
only.
The tax bill in the Legislature
provides for a tax of 90 cents
this year and 90 cents next, and
this rate will, it is declared,
leave a deficiency Of over ST.
100000 at the end of two years.
This does not take into con
sideration the deficiency in the
school fund which is now near
~ one million dollars.
The big expense of the gov
eminent is in the Judiciary De

where it lies, Representative
