name. but said the BenwOod police re-
cords would disclose 1T.
From the marshal's story, which
made q favorable impression, It was
evident he had acted in the arrest with
out criminal intent, and Attorney
showalter said there was no material
difference between the testimony of
Furbee and Deputies Randolph and
Wick. Mr.. showalter believed Furbee
had misunderstanding of the law, and
1t was unfortunate better understand
ing of the Jurisdiction Of the federal
COURTS officers hadn't prevailed pre-
viously, for Mr.. showaiter was sure the
conflict would not have arisen. The
purpose in prosecuting the cases. he
said, was that there might be lesson
for subordinate officials in the future.
He suggested that Marshal Furbee be
held to court on hts own recognizance,
but later Mr.. showalter admitted the
force of Colonel Caidweii's plea that
Furbee had acted without criminal in
tent.
The case against Furbee was then
accordingly dismissed.

Consolidated Coal and Coke Company
is progressing favorably. The first In
s,allment of 10 per cent on the stock
which was due to-day. has been paid in
and 1t is expected to have the syndicate
in operation by October /.
The low stage OF water stu continues
to be a source of trouble to the river
men. Dredging at Brownsville mas
been suspended on account Of the low
stage, 1t being impossible to move the
dredging scows when they are loaded.
The steamer Admiral Dewey, which
grounded at Watkins bar, near
Brownsyiiie, on last Thursday, was

was damaged somewhat by the acct-
dent. a large hole being knocked in her

the other four miles above that point.
At dam No. 10 the masonry Is about fin
ished, and two sections OF the dam have
been placed in position, and the prelim-
mary work at No. II Is about finished.

The refuse is said to be forming an i'm

still more refuse on 1t.

Austin. Texas. March 2l.--The following
is the text of the second veto message
sent TO the senate by the governor today,
1t having been received just before ad-
iourning time:
To the Senate.
After most careful consideration OF
senate bill No. a., I feel constrained by
sense OF public duty TO return the same
without my approval The measure has
for its object the increase of the fees of
the sherins and constabes as prescribed
in the act Of June Is, 1897.
II will be borne in mind that after a
long and arduous strlggle the law sought
TO be amended was enacted by the Twenty
fifth legislature at special session. Its
contamination was procured only after
earnest and persistent effort by my pre-
decessor. Notwithstanding the reform
which he sought to secure through It had
beeg Endorsed and pledged by the demo-
cratic State convention Of August. 1895.
Many will remember the struggle. that
finally resulted IN the act ~ June l6, 1897
The democratic State convention OF last
year appr yed the law as will be seen In
the six zenith plank 81 its platform.
Discluiming any Intention whatever 10

tivcs q any one who may have supported
or voted for the bill under conslderati n,

good faith to the political party whose
honors and confidence we enjoy and to the
pc pie generally forbids an Increase at the
present time Of the fees Of office as con-
templated by the bill. Should 1t become
law the fees OF the sheriffs VIII, am in
formed. be practically restored 70 what they
were under article 1858. code Of criminal
procedure ami prior 70 the reform act OF
1895. an also advised that Il will REQUIRE
al increase IN the public expenditure az

and that this Is conservative estimate.
