A DULL DAY.
Very Little of Importance Accomplish

ed by the state Legislature.
Special Wire to Sunday Light.
Austin, Tex, May S.-There We're on
ly about 20 members of the House on
hand this morning when the House
was raped to order but as only a re-
cess had been from Friday evening, 1t
was in order that the House could
advance bills on the calendar with
out roll calls, thus obviating the ne
cessity of having a quorum. By this
means and with only about 20 members
present some half dozen local bills
were considered and by 10 o'clock the
members Of the House had dropped
in until there was about so on hand.
This was still very shy of a quorum
however, and the House worked studi-
ously and avoided roll call. At HIPS
o'clock however, Mr.. Brigance raised
the point of order of no quorum and
the House had to adjourn until 10
o'clock Monday morning.
over in the Senate there was a quo
rum but the proceedings were conduc-
ted in a very Indifferent manner and
the Senate having very little to do, al
so adjourned at 1880 for the day.
THE HOUSE.
The house passed finally the follow
ing house bills: One fixing the time
| for holding court in the Sth Judicial
| District; one fixing time of holding
| court 5n the 10th Judicial District; one
| placing Comal county in the 2Sth Jul

WHO IS WHO?
A Case In Which Too Many Lawyers
Were Involved.

Were Involved.
That old adage that too many
cooks spoil the broth was exempEfied
in Justice Shocks court yesterday At
ternoon, when an effort was made to
have Beatrice Valdez, a pretty Mexi-
can girl, who is in the county Jail on .
charge of burglary, released from Gus
tody. 1t appears that no time was
lost in securing counsel to defend the
girl. and when she was taken before
his honor, Judge Phil Shook there were
on the scene no less than three law
yers to defend her. Each of these had
arranged for the case with different
parties, and when the time for trial ar
river the girl hardly knew which at
torney to select. Selig Dutschman
represented that as a friend of the
court he had agreed to defend the girl
out of kindness for humanity upon the
solicitations Of friends. Judge =. j.
Wise claimed that he had been en-
gagged as counsel for defendant and
called upon the court to bear him out.
The court acknowledged it, but stated
that the two attorneys had been en-
gagged by entirely different parties.
MIR. Deutschman wanted an immediate
hearing, while Judge Wise desired a
continuance until Monday 1t was fl

CRISIS IN AUSTRIA.
Possibility Of the Constitution Be-
ing Suspended.

VIENNA, Oct. 27.-Tase present dead
lock in the Reichsrath, owing to the
German obstruction, has created a crit
ical situation, and in some quarters a
suspension of the Austrian Constitution
is believed possible.
At to-day's session of the Lower
House, after an uproarious dispute be-
tween DR.. Kramerez, acting President
of the German opposition, the Chamber
adopted, by large majority, the acting
Presidents proposals to discuss the
motions for the Impeachment of the
Ministry at the morning sittings, and
to devote the evenings to the bill for
the extension of the compromise with
Hungary for a year, the delay in adopt
ing which is causing much resentment
in Hungary, and rendering the passage
Of the treaty by the Hungarian Par
lament exceedingly doubtful.
BUDAPEST, Oct. 27.-In the Lower
House of the Hungarian Parliament to-
day Baron Banffy, the Premier, reply
ing to Herr Francis Kossuth, son of
the celebrated Hungarian patriot, who
urged the Government to take advan-
tage of Austt' Z chaos and try for
Hungary's Independence. declared that
the Ministry had no intention of turn
ing Austria's difficulties unreasonably
to the advantage of the Hungarians.
The union of the two countries" he
declared, must. be regarded as indis-
soluble. ShouA the Austrian consti-
tutional system break down, which God
forbid, the Hungarian Government
would be obliged to act Independently
regarding the joint questions of the
customs and commercial treaty between
Austria and Hungary, and of the char
ter and privileges of the Austro-H Hun
garian banks
This announcement caused a great
sensation, and it is believed that Ba-
ron Banffy spoke with the consent of
the Emperor King, and that his state
ment points to the possibility of an alb
solutist Government in Austria.

CUDAHY-CAsSERLY.
The Millionaire Packers Daughter
Weds a San franciscan.

CHICAGO. Oct. 27.-The marriage of
Miss Cecilia Cudahy, daughter of the
millionaire packer Michael Cudahy of
Chicago, to John B. Casserly of San
Francisco, son of ex-senator Casserly,
took place at St. James Catholic
Church on Wabash avenue at $50 a.
M, to-day Nuptial high mass was
celebrated, the officiating clergyman
being Archbishop Riordan of San
Francisco. who stopped over on his
way from Washington to the Pacific
Coast especially for this purpose. The
Archbishop was formerly rector of ST.
James, where the wedding took place.
Miss Clara Cudahy, a sister of the
bride, was maid of honor. VIM. b.
Macdonough of San Francisco acted as
groomsman About 600 invited guests
were present at the ceremony. A we'd
ding breakfast was served at noon at
the residence of the brides father
Mr.. and Mrs. Casserly left this after
noon for a three weeks trip through the
East, after which they go to San Fran
cisco.

The total value of the estate is shown
BY the petition for letters testamentary
"a be S7.6O0000. OF this amount
$500, 600 is personal property, and
SS0OO00 realty. Attorney Runnels
who prepared the will. said that these
figures are a conservative but fair es-
innate of the value of the estate.
Under the law of Illinois, Mrs. Pull
man has one year in which to decide
whether she will elect to abide by the
terms of the will, or take her share OF
her husbands estate which the statutes
set aside for the widow. Tonight it
was stated that the provision of the win
giving her nothing but the homestead
and the yearly income from 81 ,250,0O0
was no surprise to her. In fact, it was
asserted tht she and all the members Of
the family had known the contents Of
the document since it was drawn on
September 18th of this year. 1t was
said to-day that the disposition of the
property was perfectly agreeable TO her,
and that she would abide by its terms.
In legal circles the will and that por-
ton of it were the subject of a discus
ton tonight. When it was taken into
consideration that the widow was prac-
tically given less than the daughters,
and they were made the residuary lega-
tees, to divide between whom there
might be several more millions not
disposed of in the will, it is thought
there must have been some stipulation
entered into between Mr. and Mrs. Pull
man, by which she agreed to the pro-
visions of the will.

the very best possible arrangements
have been made for the Government s

COSTLY BLAZE AT ST. LOUIS.
A Clerks Carelessness Causes a
Loss of Nearly $1,000. 600.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. PA lighted cigar
cite dropped by a thoughtless clerk is
supposed to have caused the fire which
this afternon practically gutted the
building at the corner of Seventh and
Chestnut streets, occupied by the gem
eral offices of the Wabash Railroad.
The fire broke out in the attic. which
was stored with old papers and docu-
ments, and Within five minutes was a
roaring furnace.
During all this excitement seven
young women employed in one of the
inner mailing rooms on the fourth floor
had not been notified, and were still
working, unconscious of their peril.
When they did discover their situation
they found to their horror that it was
impossible to reach the stairs as the
stairway was burning fiercely, but they
all reached the ground safely by means
of the fire escape.
Without warning the electric wires
were clipped and in an instant the
throngs were madly falling back, as
flashes of blue and yellow lightning
sputtered from the ends of the deadly
wires that came falling to the ground.
Nobody was injured, but a wire struck
a fire horse, killing it in it's tracks.
AT LOO o'clock the roof fell with a
crash. A. r. Field, a clerk, was car
ry-eng some books from the first floor,
when flying debris caused by the fire.
struck him on the head, tearing it open
down to the end of the nose. He was
quickly removed in an ambulance, and
his injuries may result fatally.
The fire came so suddenly that the
Wabash Company was prevented from
saving anything. Every record in the
office of the Chief Engineer, rights of
way. real estate deeds and surveys Of
every description We're destroyed.
An officer of the company estimates
their loss at 100000. Real estate
men place the valuation of the building
at 100000 The Wabash Company
had secured new quarters before the
fire was under control
