A FINAL CONCLUSION.

When jeff. Davis sent a COM
missioner to London to negotiate
FOR the recognition of the confeder-
ate states, Lord Palmeston, then
prime minister of England, refused
with the remark that he had made
II his rule never to interfere in a
family quarrel.
The family quarrel of our com.
missioners' court would probably
have passed unnoticed if the tax
payer had not been somewhat in
aerested, and the controversy be-
tween the parties, as it appeared in
print, gave rise to serious doubts as
10 the fitness and ability of this
honorable court to administer
economically the finances of the
county. 1t further leads to the
belief that court house could be
built, complete for $4,000 to $780,
900 to satisfy all intents and pur-
poses, and that the junketing ex-
petition of this happy family upon
the expense of the county for the
alleged purpose Of finding suitable
pattern for court house, has been
minus of any practical result or
advantage to the county ard
furthermore explains why the taxes
of Lavaca county have been go
enormous without anything to show
for it.
Perhaps the ACCESSIBILITY of en-
trusting the burden and response
bility of this important court upon
othor shoulders might suggest
itself. A TAXPAYER.

"A LURID
SENSATION.
e. c. Niles and Mrs. Cora
jerks Arrested.

6oakum was treated to II sensa-
tion partaling of the lurid Saturday
when the San Antonio Express ar
rived. On the local page it con-
aained the following:
"Charles C. Niles of this city, and
Mrs. Cora jerks of Yoallum. were
arrested here early yesterday morn
ing on charge of committing
adultery.
Niles is a we'll known railroad
man, and was for years a passenger
conductor on the Arkansas Pass.
Mrs. jerks is the widow of another
we'll known railroad man who was
also an employe of the Arkansas
Pass and who WAS killed at Sinner
about four years ago. Mrs. jerks
is ~ resident Of Yoakum, where she
moves in good society and is prom
anent in church circles.
The affidavit for arrest was made
by Mrs. Maud Niles, wife of the
defendant, She charges that the
two defendants committed adultery
on July 12. The affidavit was
made two days after that date.
No further particulars concern
ing the affair could be obtained
yesterday, as the interested parties
refuse 30 talk for publication.
The complainant in the case is
confined to her bed at the Maverick
Hotel, where she has been stopping
Cor several days, and is in n very
serious condition. Her body is "A
mass Of bruises and one leg is SO
badly crushed that she viii not be

coNFERs DANGEROUS POWERS.


says Mr.. MINOR, Regarding the Proposed
Irrigation Amendment.
Editor Express: Many persons
are still unaware of the fact that on
the first Tuesday of next month
august 3, 1879 the people of
Texas will vote upon the adoption
of three amendments to the State
constitution, including one relating
to irrigation, which will very di-
rectly and seriously affect many
citizens of this State.
An erroneous impression exists
that only lands which receive water
for irrigation will be subject to a
tax for expenses in connection
Herewith, whereas, in fact, all
lands within the district and sus-
ceptible of irrigation will CATER an
affirmative vote on the question of
constructing the works. be subject
to the tax and lien for cost of con-
struction, which may be as high as
$15 per acre. Only the expenses
of repairs and maintenance, ETC.,
will be confined to those which re-
ceive water.
The bonds are to run forty years
or less. Hence they may run as
much less than forty years as the
taxing officers see fit, If the bonds
run forty years, the utmost period
allowed. the sinking fund required
to be raised annually by taxation
to pay the bonds at the maturity
will be approximately one fortieth
of the amount with which the land
is permitted to be encountered.
The maximum amount with which
the land may be encountered for
the construction is SIS per acre, as
already stated, and one fortieth of
that is 374 cents per acre. Adding
to this the annual interest required
to be raised, 6 per cent on $15, or
80 cents, we have a total of 81 .273
per acre which is the minimum
amount of tax which will have to
be paid if bonds are issued to the
amount permitted. If the bonds
be made to run twenty years the
annual amount of sinking fund
would be rs cents which with so
cents interest would make $1.65 as
the annual tax on the land. SINH
larly if the bonds run ten years the
annual sinking fund and interest
would be $2.40 per acre, and so on
according to the time the bonds
might be made to run, to which
there is no lower limit. The
amounts Of sinking fund to be
raised annually are here given APP
proximately. They might be less
on account of investment and re-
investment during the accumula'
ton; but the attorney generals
office has been strict in requiring
an adequate sinking fund for pro
vision, without reliance upon th'
uncertain increase by investment

hack Thursday night. About 81
O'Clock on that night she left the
hotel in hack accompanied by one
of the women employees of the hotel
and drove out River avenue. 1t
seems that she was informed that
her husband was out in that direc-
ton in a hack and she went out to
learn if such was the case. After
going out some distance Mrs, Niles
and her companion saw another
hack coming toward them. Mrs.
Niles alighted from her hack and
ran around it in front of The APP
preaching vehicle. She hailed the
driver but voice from the inside
of the approaching carriage called
out to 90 ahead, and the hackman
drove on. Mrs. Niles attempted to
jump on the step of the hack but
missed her footing and fell under
the wheels. The hack passed over
her left leg and stomach and thigh.
She screamed and the vehicle was
stopped. Mr., Niles got out Of the
hack and went back to where his
wife was lying, AT this time the
carriage which conveyed Mrs.
Niles to the scene of the accident
drove up to where she was lying.
Her companion got out and she and
Mr.. Niles assisted Mrs. Niles into
the vehicle. The other hack drove
on and the one containing the
injured lady was driven to the
Maverick hotel, where she was at
tended by several physicians. Her
injuries at that time were thought
fatal.
Mr.. Niles nor Mrs. jerks could
be found last night, and Mrs. Niles
was entirely too i'll TO talk.
Charles Picnot, the driver Of the
hack that ran over Mrs. Niles, was
arrested and is held on bond to
answer charge of reckless driving.
Upon their arrest both Niles and
Mrs. jerks waived examination
before Justice Jones and were adj
mitted to bail in the sums of $500
and 1900, respectively"
jerks was brakeman and was
killed here in Sinner four years
ago this month while trying to
make ''pole-switch," that is, put
ting piece of timber from the
engine on one track to car on
another track and so pushing the
car. jerks was standing with his
hands on the piece of timber when
it broke in the middle killing him
instantly. His widow, Mrs. Cora
jerks, sued the Arkansas Pass and
secured heavy damages. She is
said to be worth at present about
$4,000.
Niles was discharged from this
road two years ago and moved to
San Antonio. He has been out of
employment ever since and is said
to be broke"

While the souls slumberirg echoes wake to life
And through its halls responsive music rings.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gem
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
solve me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.

this line and have just received a lot Of the

In this climate you need a

FOUND NEW CUTLERY.
Three Tramps Arrested With rluch
Property In Their Pockets.

Officers Kelly and Daniels found a
gang of tramps near the M. & St. L.
depot Monday and after long
chase arrested three of them. They
were found to have large amount of
new cutlery in their possession, includ-
ing score of knives, six razors and
some glass cutters. They gave differ
ent stories as to where they got the
property. The police believe that the
goods were stolen and will hold the
tramps for a day or two to see whether
the property is claimed.
A man was selling razors cheap this
morning, and this led to the investi-
cation. The parties arrested claim to
know something of this man. It is
thought that the tramps that escaped
have more of these goods. The tramps
had money to buy eatables with.
While being driven to the station, one
Of the tramps tried to throw away the
knives which he had, but was detect
ed by Officer Daniels.

HIS LAST RUN.
Geo w. Warner Received the Final
Summons Sunday.

Geo. w. Warner died at twenty
minutes after five o'clock Sunday
morning at the residence of his
brother, Dr. G. f. Warner, on South
Second street. He had been suf,
ferer from consumption for a long
time, and for the past eight weeks re.
sided with his brother. The cause OF
his death was probably due to con.
sumption.
Mr.. Warner was born at Covington,
New York, tifty-seven years ago last
month, and came to Minnesota in
1869 in company with DR.. and Mrs.
Warner. He was associated with his
brother in the drug business for eight
or ten years, and then accepted a
position as messenger with the Ameri.
can Express Co., position which he
held until few months ago, when he
was compelled to resign on account OF
ill health. A wife and two children,
Nora and Dudley, survive him. He
was one of four brothers, being cut.
lived by the other three, DIR. Warner,
of this city, and E. f. Warner and

Warner is in the city, and Mr.. w. P
Warner is expected. The deceased
had many friends in Mankato and
elsewhere, who will learn with regret
of his sad death.

The governor had been off on fish
ing tour. He returned home with rod,
baskets, hammocks and other neces-
stiles and comforts that go with an
executive angling tour. He was met
at the depot on his return home by
the family carriage. A Times reporter
was on hand to interview the gov
ernor as to his reason for refusing to
testify before the grand jury of Hene-
pin county relative to banks, bankers
and bank examiners. The newspaper
man asked several questions which
the governor refused to answer to the
satisfaction of the neWsgatherer.
Finally, the governor picked up Sec
tion of his fishing rod and the reporter
withdrew. Whether it was the sight
of the rod, the expression on the
executives face or the stolid deter
mination of the states chief knocker
to keep his information to himself
that induced the pencil pusher to HE
himself to other scenes can only be
conjectured.

We had supposed that Mckinley

which case the first quarter of his ad-

other hand the commercial reports
show many signs of returning pros
perity. The volume of business is
larger, the prices of large portion of
farm products are better than they
were year ago, while money is plenti-
full in all financial circles. Stability

The senate continues to push the
tariff in a rapid manner and Senator
Aldrich thinks the measure will have
passed the senate and been agreed to
in conference by July 1st. Senator
German is of the opinion that it's con-
sideration in the senate will be con-
cluded in two weeks. There seems
to be general feeling now prevalent
that it will become a law by the
Presidents signature not later than
July 18th. The protectionists still
continue to have a good margin in
their votes. In the consideration of
the proposed duty on cotton ties

followed it with comments showing
it's utter falsity. The Minneapolis
Times and Martin County Sentinel both
copied the Evening Press screed and
credit it to the Tribune and comment
on how Republican journal has
turned upon the administration.
These papers owe the Tribune an
apology for such inexcusable blum

to, which it duly credited,

THE silyerites are just now engag-
ed in telling how much Japan
will lose in changing from the silver
to the gold standard, and that the
great prosperity she has been enjoy
ing will now come to an end. But
possibly Japan knows more about
this than the silverites do, who only
make assertions without any facts to
back them up. Japan had commits
sion looking into the matter and it
made a most careful investigation,
and found that the silver standard
was enhancing the cost Of living with
out proportionally raising the wages
of labor and thus the hardshipS of
labor were increased. The commas
sion found that between 1873 and 1894
the average price of all the leading
necessaries of life increased not less
than 81 per cent, while wages increas-
ed only about 33 per cent, or little
over one half. This does not show
the great prosperity that the silver
ties were all the time claiming for
Japan. During the same period in
the United States the average price
of the leading necessities of life
gradually decreased; while wages
gradually increased. These are facts
that the free coinage people, as yet,
have never been able to crack.
Japan's prosperity was due to other
causes than silver, in fact it had to
surmount the burden of silver stan
dard before the people were aware
that prosperity existed,
