came: so it was thar funeral. A COM
plant that the bot black stand ia front

ref rred to the chltf OF police. 1t
seems that after the boot black has re-

| language that turns all the white
paint In the neigh borhood black; and to
| this the lanolady Of The Texas House
| takes righteous exception.
There was com paint in the council
because neither the city attorney Or
Any representative from his office was
present during the last few meetings..
Both Judge Kemp and Capt. Beali
were reported as attending court at
| Maria.
The chief Ct police reported an alleg-
ed dairy nuisance at the corner of An
tnCny and San Francisco streets. He
was given to understand that the re-

The cleck read the following COM
municat.on from the county judge:
Gentlemen-OI August 2SJn the re-
corder tried one Mamie Freeman for
some Off nse, not discOsed by the c)m-
mitme nt, and assessed her punls hment
at fine or SlU0, or in default of the
payment of such sum she is required
TO remain In jail forty days. SO be
Cause of the facs that sue was not able
to pay such fine the commitment was
signed &C. Is. Patterson, ex-OtficiO j.
t. il to serve out the sentence In
sic al of being committed to the city
jail Now, as the city gets the beneht
Of all fines assessed anu Collected, to
the ex fusion of The county, in large
class of the most valuable Cases, it is
just and proper that the city should
Dear the expense of keeping these
prisoners who are unable 10 pay their
fines.
There beng conflict of opin o
d bl ut The recorders authority under
the law 10 sit as a state officer and COM
nit TO the cJunry jail in any case, ex-
&c pit as an examining court, and believ-
ing that til motives Tor The commit
ment to the county Ill in this case was
proper one, tile county proposes 10
permit this person o rema1h In The ia l,
provided the city couucil will agree to
pay the usual charges for keeping
tie OunLy prls oners, 35 cents per day
10 the sheriff.
Very Respe ctfully,
JAMES r HARPER,
County Judge.
Judge Coldwell thought II only fair
that as long as the city got pay from
the solvent criminals that IL should
pay the board of the insolvent crimi-
nails of the county jail. On this motion
the cruoty was r quasted to make out
it's bill which will be paid.
The clerk then sent q horse laugh
around the council by pre- entiug a
draft on sight for $l2 from the Amer
lcan we'll works, Gov erin @ bill for gt DDS
alleged to be bought by Colonel Ritter
but which the latter says be never Or
dered. The bill has been fired iato
