ADDIGKS' APPEAL.
His Request for a Recount Presented to
tho United States Senate.

tho United States senate.
Washington. d. U..Jan. %. "A sequel
to the recent political troubles in Della
ware was presented to the Sonate to.
day by Mr.. Burrows, r., mich. y. in
the form Of an appeal by the Presi-
Dental electors OF that State. Messrs.
Shaw, Wilson and Fooks, for a Con-
gressionHl investigation OF irregulari-
ties set forth by them.
The appeal states that, by illegal and
fraudulent methods in Kent county,
majority of about 800 votes in favor of
ths Union Republican ticket was
changed into fasle and apparent
Democratic majority OF about 200.
This, the appeal declares. is subversivo
of Republican institutions. and the
three electors request Congress to fully
and fairly investigate the premises and
take appropriate acticn theroin.
Another document, presented by Mr..
Burrows, is signed by Speaker Hanby
of the trump" Senate and Speaker
Moore Of the ''rumpn House. Its
allegations are OF a sensational char
acter. to the effect that the Legislators
chosen by the people are evicted from
the State Capitol and that the powers
OF government are usurped by COR
rupt oligarcby. 1t is declared also that
votes have become merchantable asset
and that the courts are under the in
fluence of polit partisanship. Under
those circumstances an appeal is made
TO Congress to re-establish republican
forms OF government and to order a
recount of the vote Of Delaware under
the direction and supervision OF the
Senate and House OF Representatives.
The appeals were referredd to the
committee on privileges and elections.
Mr.. Chandler, r.. IN, II. J, stated
that the papers contained information
similar to that coming To him, and he
added: 1T is my purpose. at an early
nay, to endeavor to devise means by
which this wholesale larceny of States
and of United States Senatorships shall
be prevented. "
Mr.. Faulkner, D., (W. Va.) sug-
gested that 1T was hardly regular to
make such statements when Mr.. Gray,
D., (Del. J, was not present to reply.
Mr.. Chandler said he would repeat
the statements in Mr.. Gray's presence,
whereupon Mr.. Faulkner added sug-
gestively that there would be an early
opportunity to make statements relating
to Delaware.
Washington, d. G., Jan. 25. The
friends of Mr.. Kenney, the Democratic
Senator. elect from Delaware. are count
ing confidently upon seatine him when

port of the independent silver Repub-
licans and also OF the Populists. They
have received telegram from Senator
Dubois authorizing them to pair him

not present himself until after the

MEANS NEW FACES.
A Big, $27,472 Sale of Land Made
Yesterday.

1t has been some time since this city has
had big real estate deal that meant new
faces for Austin. Several big deals have
been made during the past few years, but
all of them consisted of trading among
ourselves. The kind of deals which make
a town boom and bring new business to
our merchants have not been numerous of
late.
There was, however, one made yesterday
which is not only large in amount, but
great in the good it will do Austin. 1t
will bring new faces and new money to
Austin, the things we need so much. The
firm of Hume Bros. are the parties who
made the sale, and the property sold con-
sists of 1865 acres out of the Westbrook
survey, in Travis county, about twelve
miles from Austin. The place is known
as the Day pasture. The gentlemen buy
ing are well to do and prosperous Swe aG,
living in the vicinity of Manor. The

w. Waling, Gus Carlton. H. johnson,

ling. John Anderson, Amele Lind, Z. A.

August Carlson. They are all men OF
family and well to do. They will form
a small-sized colony on the land at once
and. of course. it can easily be seen how
Austin is to be benefited. The. Hume
Bros. have been working the deal up Tor
some time, and have spent much time ana
money getting everything in shape. This
firm has sold upwards of $4,000 worth
of property during the past ten days, but
this is the only one particularly interest
ing to Austin. They are hustlers and gen.
orally have something big on the string.

BANaUETs LAST NIGHT.
The DrisIsill Hotel Had Two of Them
Yesterday.

Last night at the Driskll the Kappa
Sigmas entertained their lady and gentle
men friends with most delightful recep->
ton. cotillon and banquet. The affair
was in many respects most pleasant one
and the members of the fraternity are to,
he congratulated. There was quite a
NUMBER of Indies and gentlemen In attend
ance, and the hotel was looking its very
best. Manager Shadbolt had carefully
arranged all the details for the OCCASION,
and the result was that the affair was u
success in every particular.
About the same hour at which this re-
ception and ball was holding high carnival
in the main part Of the building, the
Sigma M fraternity was having most
elaborate banquet in the ladies' ordinary.
and there for several hours they whiled
away the time with merry toast and
song. The toasts answered at the instance
of Toast Master Geo. Ii. Carter were as
follows: ..-,s
"Psi,-W. Z. Darden. .y-'7'"'

THE GOVERNOR ENTERTAINs.
HIS Excursion for the Legislature
Pronounced Success.

Per previous announcement Governor
Culberson yesterday entertained the men,
beers of the legislature with an excursion
up the lake. To pleasantly augment the
crowd the governor kindly remembered
the members of his cabinet and their. fami-
lies, as well as the judges of the higher
court. A large numDer of ladies were
also included among the fortunate ones,
and several friends of the governor in the
city. The entire list swelled the crowd
to something like 300 people The boat
left the wharf at 4 o'clock, and the run
up the lake was made rapidly, giving the
visitors to the city an opportunity of
seeing Lake Mcdonald in all her scenic
glory. The return to the wharf was made
safely. and the merry makers were in
the city by 1880 last evening. There was
a band of music in attendance, the young
er contingent of the crowd enjoyed the
ever enjoyable dance. The governor ex-
tended a hearty welcome to all his guests,
and he can take the 1attering fact to his
personal knowledge that the excursion
was a success in every particular, from
the band of music and the choice edibles
to the speech made by the Hon. Ham
Ward on the upper deck, where he par
ticularized and specified without casting
any reflections. The governor was called
on for speech, but declined the honor.
The crowd was merry one, and a merry
time was attendant upon the outing from
the very opening moment until its close.
The members of the legislature in attend
ance voted the lake the most beautiful
thing in the world and the governor the
most finished of hosts. The excursion
reflected credit on those participating and
spoke volumes for Governor Culberson as
the prince of southern hospitality dis
pensers.

The Old Indian Fighters.

The old Indian fighters and followers of

tier met last night in the county court
room with quite large attendance pres
ent, Some of the witnesses here from
San Saba were in the ranger service, and
they were present last night and Joined
the association. 1t is to be hoped that all
ex-rangers in the state will connect them
selves with the association. Certain it is,
no set of men in the state are more deserv-
ing of recognition than the men who suf-
fered hardshps and did heroic service on
the frontier of Texas during the days of
Indian forays and depredations by out
laws.
The rolls last night contained 11S names,
about a dozen being added during the
meeting.

valuable publications ever issued by that
office. 1t is pamphlet giving the out
lines of the work to be done at the school

ten to one they are right. Yesterday
each of these judges gained a victory in

peals affirmed the finding of Judge Morris
in the case of The State VS.. The Central
Railroad for over $1,000,OOO, and the
court of criminal appeals affirmed Judge
Brooks rulings in the Burt murder case.

THE SICK CARED FOR.
The City and County Hospital One of
the Best Conducted Institutions
in the south.


in the South.
Very few people in the busy walks of
life ever give thought to the hospital
In fact, there is nothing perhaps in their
lives to remind them of the existence of
such place, because they are in the full
enjoyment of health and all the creature
comforts; but the poor sufferer, as he turns
in pain upon his couch. realizes the noble
charity which has provided for him in sick
ness and poverty and surrounded him with
every comfort which could minister to his
ease and restoration to health.
The hospital is most desirably located ut
the corner Of Fifteenth and Sabine streets,
one of the most elevated points in north
east Austin The building possesses rare
architectural beauty. 10 which the well
kept grounds lend added attraction. IN its
construction the laws of sanitation have
been most rigidly adhered to in every de-
tail and thoroughly carried out to the min
utest point. On the ground floor is To-
Gated the dining room and kitchen. laup-
rooms and ward On the second fioor
are seven bed rooms, ward, drug store, OPP
Grating room and reception room. while
the third floor contains ten bed rooms and
ward. Each ward is supplied with eight
couchcs.
A stroll through these wards and y
glimpse at the spotless linen and wen
secured floors reminds one more OF pri-
vate sanitarium than general hospital.
DR.. X. S. Graves, the city physician, mas
the hospital under his supervision. ana MS
reputation is guarantee to thoroughness
and care. lie is most ably assisted by Or.
Il. V. Hamilton. the resident physician
upon whom really falls the more onerous
duties involved in the care OF the SICK con,
tinuously, day and night. He is assisted
by Mr.. Guy II. Smith, who is studying
medicine. He is most attentive to the
wants of the sick. and seems welded to
his chosen profession. But medicine ana
medical care alone could never bring Il
sick man around without the aid OF some
thing good and palatable for the innel
man, and in this regard the patients are
certainly most diligently looked out for.
Mrs. s. NJ. Ritter, the matron, has held
that position for nearly two years, and
has shown not only great managerial anil
ty but most perfect adaptability to. the
position in every way. She is NOT only a
fine business woman and good manager
but when occasion requires it a kindly and
sympathetic nurse.
All in all, the people of Austin and
Travis county have just cause for pride
both in their attractive and well equipped
hospital and in its able management
which secures its greatest possible good
along the lines to which it has been dedi'
Gated.

No Fight Last Night.

There was no picture" prize fight show
at. the opera house last night Every
thing was in readiness save the crowd.
There were only about fifteen people
downstairs and twice that many up, and
the management returned the money
rather. than try and go on with the show
to such small audience. They favored
those present with one or two rounds,
however, just to show that the machine
was in working order.
