DUCkWORTH'S DAY.
On the Rack of Examination for Two
Long Hours.

Chief Clerk Duckworth was under
examination before the Committee OF
Investigation over two hours yesterday.
No other witnesses were examined Bru-
sic. Duckworth's s counsel conducted the
direct examination. The questions We're
largely leading ones, so skillfully worded
as to tell the story wanted, leaving to
Mr.. Duckworth only the duty of an af-
firmative or negative as answer. The
testimony was exceedingly diffuse, and
divergent-long statements were made
and supposititious cases presented which
might be taken as illustrative. To re-
duce all this to a coherent and consis
tent story is not easy and restricted
space forbids detail. The main points
are given below.
Brusie led up to the statement from
Duckworth that the latter felt certain
of his election to the Chief Clerkship
from assurances received before the AS
sembly convened. He had strengthened
his position wherever and whenever he
could during campaign. Duckworth
said he had expected. previous to arrfV-
ing in San Francisco en- route for Sacra-
mento To appoint about a half dozen
temporary attaches outside Of the statu-
tory officers. The opportunities of mem
bers had been the prime cause, he
claimed. of the extension Of the list.
A circular letter sent TO members
which it has been claimed, was in the
nature of a contract with members as to
patronage, was explained by Duckworth
by saying that he was expected by the
ianitor's Office to be here and arrange
and assign members seats, reporters
desks. etc, and the letter referred to
such arrangements.
The letter from Duckworth to state
Printer Johnston containing two extra
names. found in the original minutes of

Clerk Gridley, and which Minute Clerk
Wickham testified he had never seen nor

A True Bill Returned.

The Austin Statesman of De-
cember the 9th contains the fol-
lowing:
The grand jury yesterday re-
turned true bill against Police
man Grizzard for killing Capt.
John Rankin, the Indictment in
full being as follows:
SIN the name and by the au-
thority of the state of Texas, the
grand jurors of Travis county,
in said state duly empaneled,
sworn and charged as such at the
October term, A. D. 1897, of the
district court of said county in
and for the Twenty sixth Judicial
district, upon their oaths, in said
court present: That James E.
Grizzard, in said county and
state, on or about the 9th day
of November, in the year of our
Lord 1897, and before the pre-
sentiment of this Indictment, did
then and there unfawfully, with
malice aforethought, kill John
T. Rankin by then and there
shooting the said Rankin with a
pistol, against the peace and dig
nifty of the state.

About Buying Script.

Inasmuch as there has been
considerable discussion in this
country of late concerning that
section of the occupation tax law
which imposes a tax of SIS upon
any person engaged in the bust
ness of discounting or shaving
paper, buying or selling county
script, warrants, etc., Mr.. J. W.
Cariker wrote to Austin for rul-
ing on the question. He received
the following reply from the
Comptroller
AUSTIN, Tex, Nov. 8, '97.
j. W. CAR1KER, ESQ.,, Clayton,
Tex: Dear Sir: = Replying to
yours of the 9th ult., addressed
to the attorney general, and by
him referred to this department,
you are advised that the occupa-
ton tax imposed by subdivision
5 of chapter is, general laws,
special session 18th legislature,
applies to persons engaged in the
business of discounting and shaw
ing paper, or in buying or selling
bonds, state, county or city war
rants, or other claims against the
State, and not to persons who oc-
casionally buy such claims. Very
respectfully,
R. W. FINLEY, Comptroller.
1t would appear from this that
any person wishing to make an
occasional loan of money, OF buy
script and shave notes off and on
during the year, is at liberty to
do so without having to pay an
occupation tax.-Panola Watch

A romantic drama, an adapta-
ton of Marie Correlli's even
detta,'' entitled s'Fabio Romani, y
constituted the bill which a
rather meagre audience witnessed
at the opera house last night.
The production has been on the
boards for several seasons
probably dozen-and has had
its good points panegyrized and
its defects lampooned by critics
much more competent to do both
justice. Plays and players like
other public personages each
have their separate tabernacle of
proselytes by whom their faults
are overlooked, and their abilities
overrated. AS presented the
play was not a distinct success to
the ultra critical, yet it is hard to
say what particular element was
lacking to make it so. 1t deals
with Italian love and vengeance
during the earlier ages and
furnishes scope for romance,
pathos and tragedy in album
dance. The scenic effects and
costumes are elaborate. The
bewildering spectacular dances
of Miss Grace Hunter are mar
velous in their blending of colors.
An artist who could put such
colors on his canvass would find
his fortune made. The audience
insisted on having the dances
repeated until the Terpsichorean
artist was forced to bow her
recognition and retire.

ANNUAL SOCIAL.
An Enjoyable Evening Spent by the Bap-

tist Young Peoples Jnipn.
Quite a large gathering of
young people, including a con-
siderable sprinkling OF married
folk, assembled at the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. W. H. Thomas
Friday evening, the occasion be-
ing the, annual social of the B.
Y. P. U. A delightful evening
was enjoyed, and the guests
loitered until the last minute for
homegolng, so 10th were they
to dispense, as they were having
such good time. The constant
interchange of those thousand
little courtesies which impercep-
tibly sweeten life have a most
happy effect, especially to the
Juniors. The bouyancy of youth
brings the joys which such occa-
sions bestow more forcibly to the
front, and spreads over all a
mellow evening charm, like the
beautiful golden sunlight of the
departed summer. Prominent
among the many enjoyable fea-
lures of the evening was the rem
dition of a short and appropriate
program, to which Mrs. Maddox,
Mrs. West and Prof. Shannon
were the chief contributors. The
latter's humorous reading of "Co-
lumbia Crumb" being put down
by many as the GROWING feature
of the occasion,
