The bonds and coupons were then laid
aside to be burned after other business had
been finished. and DR.. Rust presented the
problem of putting bridge over -Four Mile

washout occurred about two years ago and

caused the delay, he said. and he had q
plan by which satisfactory bridge couio
be put up with piles as foundation az Cost

then opened on this work. and 1t was found
in the course of long discussion that

Mr. Garrett was directed to make up new

earliest possible moment under the law.
Contracts for eight items of repair of the
county roads were let to Wise & Wilson
and Reed & Roberts. and the road roller
belonging TO the county was sold to John
F. Killeen of Georgetown for $l2oo.
Crowd Views the Scene.
The board adjourned toward midnight and
a little crowd gathered In the middle of the
road on the heights overlooking Washing
ton to see the county debt cut down by the
amount stated. 1880. The bonds were
produced with the coupons belonging
thereunto, and a match touched to one of
them. Then. as they had been lying on the
table uncounted for some time, DIR. Rust
counted one by one while Mr. Douglass and
Clerk Rucker put the bigger papers on the
fire. and Mr.. Febry at intervals added the
coupons There was little breeze, and as
the fire burned up, making the darkness
more inky black, some of the papers were
carried upward and the bystanders had to
poke them back with their umbrellas The
bonds destroyed were of the series issued
for building the court house in 1898. The
first twenty-five of them are still outstand-

DETECTIVES AT WORK
YOUNG WOMAN AND HER ESCORT
VICTIMS OF ASSAULT.
Colored Man the Assailant-Scene Of
Occurrence Was Near Massachu-
sets Avenue Bridge.

When Capt Boardman received mes
cage late yesterday afternoon telling of an
AFFAIR that had occurred near the Massa-
chusetts avenue bridge across Rock creek.
he summoned several members of the de-
tectlve corps and sent them to make hur-
ried investigation. The captain recalled the
case of Elsie Kregio, the child who was as
ssulted and murdered by a colored man
near the Zoo seevral years ago. and he con-
clnded to act promptly. 1t is reported that
Miss Mary Hunt. seventeen years OF age,
living at 2225 l street, and her escort. Allen
Harrison. eighteen years of age, whose
home is at 500 18th street. were the victims
of a eolored man yesterday
The young man was struck on the head
with a stone and rendered unconscious, and
then Miss Hunt was choked and otherwise
roughly handled. According to the report
the AFFAIR happened shortly before o'clock.
Mr.. Harrison was taken to Garfield Hospi-
tai He had been there only a short time
before he regalned consciousness and was
able to tell the detectives something Of how
the assault was committed Miss Hunt.
who went home on a street car after the
departure OF her assailant, also described
how Mr. Harrison had been assaulted and
how the colored man then turned upon her
and choked her. The marks made by his
fingers were visible upon her neck when
the detectives called at the house last
night.

BRYAN'S GOVERNMENT
OWNERSHIP IDEAS
At Chicago He Reiterates and Explains
Former Utterance On Subject.

In his speech at Chicago on Sept
4, Mr.. Bryan spoke regarding his
former expression on the subject
of government ownership, which
has been so widely criticised, say
ing:
I stated what I thought with
the impression that everybody else
would exercise the same freedom
in the discussion of the question.
I was led to my conclusions by the
corruption of the people of the
United States by the railroads, as
1 have seen it. In my judgment
we have had no more corrupting
influence in American politics than
the railroads. 1t has corrupted
the people by the pass. 1 have
known conventions to be con-
trolled by passes. I have known
judges to be elected by railroads,
and I have reached the conclusion
that this corruption cannot be
eliminated until these natural
monopolies become the property of
the government.
I am opposed to Capitalization,
because I believe that the state can
best do that which concerns the
state alone, because I believe in
the doctrines of self-government;
therefore, I prefer that, instead of
having all the railroads owned by
The Federal Government, we should
nave the local lines owned by State
and only the trunk
ines owned by the Federal Gov

Increased Public
School Attendance.

The first week of the Browns
vile public school for the present
session, ending yesterday, showed
total enrolment of 40 pupils.
This is an increase of about a hun
dred over the attendance recorded
for the first week of the past ses-
sion. Compared with former ex-
perience, whiclthas always shown
considerable increase in attendance
as the session advances, it appears
probable that a maximum of over
a thousand will be reached this
session. Such is the expectation of
the superintendent, Prof. Thos. P.
Barbour. Even with as large and
commodious a building as the
Brownsville school building, such
a large number of pupils taxes the
accommodations provided for them.
The additional building of three
rooms, which was erected at the
rear of the main building last year,
scarcely serves to accommodate the
increased attendance. 1t was the
hope of Prof. Barbour that the city
might erect building at the south
side of the campus to be used ex-
clusively for the high school de-
partment and including a large
auditorium. In fact, a very hand
some design for such a building
was prepared by local architect,
but it has not considered feasible
so far to carry out the plan. There
is ample room on the campus for
several more buildings, and if the
school continues to grow at the
present rate, it will become abso-
iutely necessary in time to add to
the present accommodations.

JUSTICE WILL YET BE
DONE.

False impressions concerning the
outrage upon Brownsville By the
Infamous Twenty fifth, which have
been spread by the publication of
Major Penrose's report, rejecting
upon the citizenship of Browns
vile and so grossly misrepresent-
ing our people, have gained con-
siderable foothold throughout the
North. wherever prejudice towards
the South had predisposed people
to accept the version of that event
which is most unfayorable to the
Southern people. The citizens of
Brownsville naturally feel keenly
Vesentful under such gross injustice,
after having so patiently borne
the utterly mdefeusible and I'M
justihable outrage perpetrated
against them by United States SOL
diers. It seems like insult added to
injury to have the president per
emptorily "punish" innocent peo-
pie, by abandoning the military
post at this place, become, forsooth,
they demanded the removal of
those uniformed thugs, and to have
Northern journals gloat over their
humiliation.
But the people of Brownsville
can wait little longer for justifi-
cation, for a rectihcation of their
wrongs, and the publication of the
true version of a deed which must
eventually go into history as the
most infamous and dastardly
outrage ever perpetrated by United
States soldiers, black or wh&e. For
justification is sure to come. With
such men as CuIberSon and Bailey

in the United States senate and
John n. Garner in the house, and
with the keen tongue of such
men as the staunch Ben Tillnan of
North Carolina, TO insist upon
full investigation of the facts, and
PREPARATION for the wrongs suffered
with such heroic self control by
our people, there need be no fears
that the true story will not be pub
lished.
The war department has seen
fit to suppress the final report
of Major Blocksom sent two weeks
ago, in which there IS reason to
believe that Brownsville was given
more justice and the true enormity
of the crime of the Infamous
Twenty-ffth depicted. It is moth
ing to Secretary Ainsworth and
the other powers that be at Wash
ington that the people of Browns
vile have been and are still being
grossly maligned throughout the
North on account of the Penrose
report, which the department so
promptly gave to the Associated
Press. But perhaps it will be
something to those officials, when
the true facts come out and their |
injustice towards Brownsville is
published to the world, when the
eloquence of our Culberson and
Bailey, and the vitriolic oratory of
Ben Tillman are turned upon them
in defense of this innocent town.
Yes, Brownsville can wait little
longer, in the assurance that JUS
tice, though tardy, will yet be
done.

IN APPRECIATED REPRE-
SENTATIVE.

The following true estimate of
the character, ability and standing
among his colleagues of the man
who has gained such high distinc-
ton as representative in congress
from the Fifteenth district, Judge
John Nance Garner Of Uvalde, is
peculiarly gratifying to his constit-
uents, in that it comes from an en-
tirely disinterested source, and from
journal fully capable of forming
an accurate estimate of public men;
namely, the San Antonio Express:
There is probably no Congress
sional District in the State of Texas
that is better satisfied with its Re
preventative in Congress than is
the expansive Fifteenth, which lies
both east and west of San Antonio
and along the Rio Grande from the
mouth of the Pecos to the Gulf.
Judge Garner has proven TO be
not only strong and capable Re
preventative, but an earnest and in
dustrious worker, ever alert when
the interests of his district are to
be subserved.
Judge Garner has not regarded
his office as a sincure and his oc-
cupancy as merely ornamental He
has not posed for the galleries or
sought to occupy unusual space in
the columns of the Congressional
Record He has sought, rather, to
serve his district in the most useful
manner possible and his Constit-
uents are we'll pleased with TIE
way in which he has discharged
the task imposed upon him.
It affords the Express some pleas
ure to testify to the worth and fit
ness of the Representative of a Con-
gressional District which is almost
as much its own as that in which
the paper is published. Not only
are we very near neighbors, but
our hopes, aspirations and pros
poets are largely conferred in the
territory represented by Judge Gar
ner in the Federal lawmaking body.
The development of Southwest
Texas, its prosperity and upbuild-
ing is a matter very dear to the
heart of the people of San Antonio.
1t is no meddling for us to manif-
est a deep interest in the affairs of
the Fifteenth Congressional Dis
trict.
Judge Garner will be returned to
Congress next autumn by such a
majority as will attest the apprecia-
ton in which he is held by his
constituents and he will labor with
as much zeal and earnestness for
their welfare in the Sixtieth Con-
gresS as he has done in the Fifty
ninth. Express.
