Mrs Julia Bender Unwilling to Disturb
Dying Neighbor. Tho Flames Curl
About Her.

New York-Mrs. Julia Bender was a
heroine last night without an audience.
She was alone in her fiat working
hard to finish birthday cake. as sur
prise for her little girl. who is u years
old.
AS a finishing touch she stuck IL
candles in the cake frosting. She light
ed one of the candles to see how it
would look. The candle fell against
her dress and in an instant she was
ablaze from head to foot.
But she did not scream. She tore
off her clothing and threw it in the
sink. Then she tainted.
A tenant heard Mrs. Renders groans
and went to her assistance. When ask
ed why she had not shouted for help.
Mrs. Bender said:
Il wanted to. but I thought of the
sick woman across the hall. She is
dying and we have all been told that
we must be very still. 1 remembered
all that when l was on fire. l was
suffeing so that knew that if 1 opened
my mouth at all 1 would Shrek. so
gritted my teeth and tried to put the
fire out myself"
Mrs. Bender's injuries are probably
mortal She would not go to hos
pital because she wanted to be at home
on her child's birthday.-EX.

SOME OLD
RECORDS.
l840

May 17.-This morning We continued
up the creek for about a mile. then
turned to the left. and struck the Di-
vide in the Cross Timbers; after
marching six miles, we reached the
large prairie between the two Cross
Timbers and encamped upon the head
of Choteaus creek. where we found
grass in abundance. and fine clear
spring of water, and oak wood.
Through the Cross Timbers the wood
is blackjack post-oak, overcup. and
blackberry The soil is gravelly sand.
and the rocks a dark. hard sandstone.
1 found iron ore upon Choteau's creek.
and the soil continues to be ferruginous
We have seen some deer today; but
game is not abundant.
May IS.-Continuing upon the high
and dry dividing ridge, We made eleven
miles; the soil is of good quality, but
there is no timber and but little water;
we, however. found wood. water, and
grass sufficient for encamping purposes
We have seen occasionally detached
pieces of gypsum today, and some lime
stone, but the rocks have generally
been a soft, coarse sandstone. Our
road approached within two miles or
the Canadian at one point of our march
today, and directly at this place We
were opposite the mouth OF Spring
creek, a very beautiful stream OF pure
spring water; has good grass upon 1t,
and wood sufficient for camping pur-
poses. The Fort Smith company joined
us yesterday, and we shall now move
on more rapidly.
May 2O.-This being Sunday, and
very rainy day. We remained in camp;
the rain commenced with one OF those
thunder showers which are so fire.
ouent upon the prairies, and, as usual.
it was accompanied by perfect temp
est of wind. We are now upon the Up
per Cross Timers. and / find upon ex-
animation that we cannot follow the
divide through. as it becomes very
rough and broken Immediately upon
entering the timber I shall. therefore.
leave the divide. cross Spring creek.
and take the high prairie between that
stream and the Canadian. In this way
I shall be enabled to pass on the prairie
entirely around the Upper Cross Tim
bers.
l met with the wild squash today; 1T
has much the appearance OF the Guilt
waited varieties, except that the leaves
are of a light blue color; they are now
in blossom.
May 21.-Our road today continued
on the divide for three miles. when.
coming near the Timbers. we turned to
the right and took the prairie valley
up Spring creek. skirting the lower
edge Of the Cross Timbers; here we
found a fine road, and moved along
with great ease to our animals We
encamped upon one of the numerous
spring branches which flow into Spring
creek, and found an abundance OF good
wood. water. and grass.
May 22.-This morning We contin-
ued up the south side of the creek for
three miles further. where We turned
to the right and crossed to the dividing
ridge lying between the creek and the

From The Herald's Special Correspond
Special to The Herald
AUSTIN. March 31-The last week of
the regular session of the 9th legis-
Iature. will, from all indications, be a
uuiet one and unattended with any
eventful features, as all the measures
of any Importance which one or two
possible exceptions. have been disposed
of. The two notable exceptions are
the general appropriation bills and the
McFall bill which seeks to revoke the
permit heretofore issued to the new
Waters-Pearce Oil company. Accord
ing to the present progress. the two
years general appropriation bill will
not be taken up at the present session
but the six months bill to cover APP
propriations from March l to August
;, made necessary by the change in the
fiscal year will be taken up in the
senate next week and disposed of. as
it has already passed the house. The
two years bill will not be taken up
until the first extra session of the leg
lslature which will be called by the
governor next August. The McFall
bill. il is safe to assert, will not be
reached during the present session. as
the house during the past week declin-
ed to make a special order for the con-
sideration of the measure.
Redistricting the State.
1t will be observed that the extra
session will be a busy one with the
law makers as the primary object of
the session will be to reapportion and
rcdistrict the state. This in itself is
ferculean task to say nothing of the
passage of the general appropriation
bill. The appOrtionmsnt committees,
can however. accomplish much during
the time Of the adjournment OF the
present session and the calling of the
extra session. They can map out the
new districts and will have time to
consider the interests of the various
districts and confer with the promi-
nent men as to the changes contem
plated II is believed however. that
the time allotted-thirty days-for the
extra session will be sufficient TO ac-
complish the work as much of the pre-
.liminary work will have been done be-
fore the session is called. AS to the
general appropriation bill. its passage
can be very much simplified by
multiplying the appropriations In the
six months bill by four and thus get
the appropriations for the twenty-four
months This idea has been suggested
by the house chairman of the finance
committee.
The Galveston City Bill.
After a most bitter fight, in the

teeth OF much opposition, the Calves
ton people have won out and secured
the passage of the Galveston city char
ter and commission bill. To secure the
passage of the measure, the Galveston
representatives had to make some i'm
Iortant concessions from the text of
the original bin. The bill as intro
duced provided for the appointment of
three commissioners by the governor
to take charge of the affairs of the
city and manage the municipality as
any other corporation or business en-
terprise would be handled. but the bill
as finally passed in the senate yester-
DAY provides for five commissioners.
three to be appointed by the governor
and two to be elected by the people of
Galveston. Then again the bill as pass
ed does not carry the emergency
clause and will not become operative
Until ninety days after it has been
approved by the governor. This was
brought about by one of the opponents
# the bill who threatened to have the
entire bill read should a roll be de-
r:anded to place the bill into imme-
diate effect. This would mean delay
and possibly defeat. and it was decided
to let the bill pass by viva voce vote
which was done.
Galveston Relief
1T is expected that there will be an
other fight on the Galveston relief bill.
This bill provides for the exemption
of Galveston from taxation for the
rext fifteen years. This bill has passed
the senate after hard fight by Senator
Davidson of Galveston. The measure
is now pending in the house with a
favorable committee report and an eff
fort will be made by Mr.. Nolan of Gal
weston to secure consideration during
the first part of the week. This meas
ure can be classed n companion bill to
the commission measure and the latter
act will be of no avail unless the relief
bill is passed. 1t seems as If the con-
stitutionality of the act has been set
tied that il there are enough members
n the house who believe the measure
constitutional to secure its passage.
With these two measures enacted into
laws. it is predicted that the city of
Galveston will once more be on its feet
and soon be able to resume its place
IS one of the leading seaports in the
country.
No Constitutional Convention.
1t is safe to say that no action will
be taken at this session of the legisla-
ture looking to the holding of a con-
stitutional convention for the purpose

day, waiting Captain billiards. arrival,
hut shall move forward tomorrow
about five miles. for the purpose OF
bridging two small streams which in
tersect our route and run into Cho-
Ieau's creek.
May 14.-Starting this morning. we
marched to the first creek. bridged IT,
and encamped upon the second; they
are spring brooks rising in the Tim
bers.' and have good water in them at
all seasons of the year. Upon the
banks of Choteaus creek there is cot
tonwood. elm. blackberry. and species
or oak bearing an acorn about the size
of a black walnut. with very thick
bur- and fringe at the top of 1t en-
-circling the nut: this is called by the
Indians "overcup.' This evening there
suddenly arose one of the most terrific
storms / ever witnessed-it was per-
feet tornado; the first blast laid nearly
every tent in the camp fiat upon the
ground. and sent beds. trunks, and
tables whirling ard tumbling in every
direction. Our camp presented for
few minutes a most perfect scene OF
confusion. AS looked out from under

and held me fast). l saw, by the in

shelter and others following up hat,

seized upon and was carrying of upon
the prairie. Nothing could resist the
violence of the storm; it continued for
about an hour, when the wind abated,
and we went to work to put up our
tents again Everything is soaked and
we shall remain tomorrow to dry. when
we hope to be joined by the Fort Smith
company.
May 15.-This has been a day of gen.
>eral drying throughout the camp, and
we are now ready to move forward
again. as soon as we learn that Captain
billiard is near us. DIR. Rogers was so
unfortunate as to have all his botanical
specimens ruined by the storm last
night; this is to be much regretted. as
he had a great variety of plants and
flowers which he will not meet with

land on the market, but as 1t was the
last of some counties which he sought
to put on the market. the house was of
the opinion that it was ready for &C
tual settlement.
This bill will probably be passed in
the senate. The vital part of the bill
has already passed the senate.
Mr.. Hawkins OF Winkler county is
out in an interview. He says in part:
so far as the counties opened UP to
settlement by the respective bills as
passed are concerned. it should be re-
membereG that this is but indicative
of the sentiments of the two houses.
and the particular counties opened up
must be arranged later on by a free
conference committee and concessions
must DO made and on each side the
putting of Midland county on the mar
ket was accomplished by the union OF
those who favor the total abolition or
the lease line. and those who were OPP
posed to any land legislation. The lat
ter voted for the proposition as a re-
buke to me. for my persistent enorts
in behalf of what l conceive to be de-
manded by truth and justice.
Mr. Decker who offered the amend
ment was, and is an enemy to the bill
and voted against it. His ideas and
mine are radically different.
Bills Pending.
There are two bills pending in the
senate which should become laws. They
are by Senator Wayland of Robertson
county. One provides a law against
kidnapping and makes it a crime pun
ishable by death or life imprisonment
and the other seeks to separate a white
Juror from a colored juror when on the
same jury and have to be kept con-
fined any length of time. AS the law
now stands the white and colored jul
rors are confined in the same room.
Senator Wayland will not have a
chance to secure consideration of his
bills at the present session.
The Double-Header Bill.
The double-header bill is also DOOM
ed. 1t is now pending in the house but
it will never see the light of day. at
least at the present session OF the leg
islature This bill inspired one of the
strongest Hobbies that has ever been
in legislature. but it passed the SEN
ate Notwithstanding, but it will never
be resurrected from the place where it
is now quietly sleeping. This was al
so one of the platform demands which
had been adopted at the Waco conven-
ton: but this legislature has shown
much contempt for the demands of that
convention and its planks have been
disregarded with impuuity. The rail-
road employees made a strong fight for
the bill but it availed little against the
powerful lobby of the opposition.
Land Legislation.
This legislation has not been favor
able to land legislation and unless
something is done with the bill now
pending in the house on the land ques-
ton. and that quickly. there will be no
legislation on that subject this session.
A land bill has passed the senate ex-
tending the absolute lease line and
placing several million acres on the
market to actual settlers. but it has to
go through the house yet, while land
bill has passed to engrossment in the
house, but may not pass in time to Sc
cure favorable consideration in the
senate at this session.

AUSTIN. March 31.-The passage
to engrossment of the land bills has
concluded hard fight and when the
bill comes up for final passage it will
probably be quickly passed across to
the senate. Under this bill there is no
lean line" that imaginary division
between the marketable school and
asylum lands and those which are re-
served by the state and leased. AS the
house bill is now formed certain coun-
ties are put on the market. The bill
reserves the lands in the following
counties from sale: Gaines. Dawson.
Andrews. Martin. FL Paso. Reeves.
Loving. Wipkler. Ector. Upton, Crane.
Ward. Pecos. Jeff Davis: Presidio,
Brewster. Crockett. Val Verde. Sch

Starr, Hidalgo. Cameron. Uvalde. Nc
Mullen. La Sale, Nueces. and Duval.
The bill does not interfere with eX-
listing leases in those counties. but in
Midland and other counties which are
opened to settlement by the bill. the
| leases are protected for this year if the
| lease money has been paid to the stae
