WORTHLESS CRIMINAL BONDS,

The grand jury in Judge Swayne's
court makes a startling report upon
the general carelessness in respect
TO bonds given by persons charged
with crime.
In a shockingly large number of
cases the bonds are so inaccurately
or insufficently made that they viii
not stand in court, in other cases
the bondsmen are bond proof, and
in still other cases the bonds cannot
be found
This is a serious condition Of at-
fairs and it calls for the most
searching scrutiny by the courts.
If it is such an easy matter to ex-
ecute a bond and such difficult
matter to recover on it, the criminal
ly inclined need no further invita-
ton to violate the law.
The law mercifully provides that
an accused person may give bond
for his appearance at trial in order
that he may not meanwhile suffer
imprisonment while he is pFeBu med

4 PARDON IN BRITTANY.
Affords Best Chance of Seeing
Crowds of Peasants.

Affords Best thanCt OF Seeing
Crowds of Peasants.
A pardon in Brittany begins with
vespcrs on the evening before the
feast Pilgrims arrive for that ana
sleep in the church, the chapel and
under hedges. They chant hymns till
they sing themselves 10 sleep. The
first mass is said al a. m. and
when all the pilgrims have received
holy communion they depart.
An ordinary visitor arriving, say,
at 10 a. m, viii hardly see single
pilgrim in the church. They attend
mass. take part in the afternoon pro-
cession and buy memorials and pic
lures at the stalls.
One of the most largely attended
pardons. and very representative
affair in its character is that of
ARRAY. which is situated in Morbi-
han. on the southern coast of Brit
tany.
/ Here gather all whom the inter
cession of St Anne d AUray has saw
ed from some peril Those who have
/ been saved from shipWrecE carry por-
tons Of the vessel; others carry
the shroud that had been prepared
for them; the lame carry on their
shoulders the clutches which have
become useless to them, while stu
others carry the rope or ladder by
which they escaped from the flames.
Sometimes and in some places
there is an evening procession car
rving lighted candles, in some there
is a bonfire lighted by the figure of
an angel that descends from the
chapel or church spire. Occasionally
there are games in the afternoon
and dancing. but usually all is quiet
and the people dispense after the af-
ternoon procession.

BONOS DEFEATED BY FIVE VOTES
Citizens Of Precinct Number Slx De
eide Adversely on Road Question.

In the bond election held in JUS
tice precinct number six Saturday
the proposition was defeated by the
narrow margin Of five votes. The
voters of that precinct was whether
or not bonds in the sum OF $4,000
should be issued for the construction
of permanent roads, and the result
of the election was surprise to
many Of those who had been keep
ing in close touch with the situation.
This surprise was not occasioned by
the defeat of the proposition but by
the smallness of the opposition $
majority. Citizens of WaXahaChie
who bad recently made a trip
through that district believed the
bonds would lose out by a much lar
ger majority, and yet at the same
time they entertained the hope that
the enterprising citizens OF that
precinct would be able to roll up the
fact that those favoring good roads
lost by only five votes indicates very
clearly that more than majority of
the voters indorsed the proposition.
An analysis of the vote shows that
the defeat Of the measure occurred
in the Midlothian voting precinct,
h1 &c q
the farmers Of a settlement north
east of the town, who, it is said, vo-
ted almost unanimously against the
bonds The voting boxes of Noun
tain Peak, Wyatt and BTittOn gave
more than a two-thirds majority.
Mountain Peak voted about four to
one in favor of the bonds while Wy
att and Britton gave vote of three
to one in favor of the proposition.
While those who stood for the i'm
provement of the public roads OF
their precinct lost out in this cleo
ton the defeat of the proposition is
by no means a permanent one. \
new district is to be created at once
and the commissioners court asked
to order another election. In order to
secure another election INN ediately
following the first one il will be nee
essary to form a new district and this
will be done by changing the bound
aries of precinct No. 6 so that the
community voting adversely on the
bonds in Saturdays election may be
eliminated A petition to the court
asking that new district be created
and another election ordered has al
ready been signed by the required
number of voters and will be pre-
scented to the court today or tomor-
row.
> The result of Saturdays election
= is as follows
, Midlothian-Fo the tax 1863
against 116.
Wyatt-For the tax 81; against
- 10.
Bri-ton-F For the tax a3; against
e 10.
Mountain Peak-For the tax 60;

KILLED IN WELL
Decatur Farmer Is Fatally Injured
When Rope Breaks.

Decatur, Texas, July 26.-Will
Estes, a farmer, was killed while
cleaning out a wen twelve miles
north of here Saturday evening. Es-
ties was in the bottom of the well
loading mud buckets. The loaded
mud bucket had barely reached the
top of the twenty-five foot well
when the rope broke, letting the
bucket fall back into the well. 1t
struck Estes on top of the head,
crushing his skull and breaking his
neck. Death was instantaneous.
When the rope broke the parties on
the ground tried TO signal the dan
ger to Estes without avail. The de-
ceased was single man and bore a
splendid reputation.

One of the prime causes of the
poor roads of this country is the
fact that in a majority Of the dis
ricts the road tax is payable in la
Dor. 1t is a sad commentary upon the
Americans honesty with himself
that this tax is seldom paid. or when
it is paid the work is but half done.
The average man seems TO forget
that every foot Of road he helps 10
build is to benefit himself and in
stead of doing a good days work he
tries to shirk the work as much as
possible The tax applicable to the
roads is not sufficiently high to give
the needed funds for good country
roads, whether it be paid in labor or
in money. but when the former is
permitted the time assessed should
be double its money value and the
man who chooses to work out his
taN should give TO the roads his best
work because it is for his interest
to do so. He is the one that Is to get
the profit that will come on the I'M
proved road to town and he should
look upon the labor put on the road
as an Investment. Instead you too
often see the road overseer comDell-
ed to get out a warrant to compel the
man to pay a debt which he owes to
himself. and the chance is that he
viii find an accommodating justice
of the peace to let him off from his
Beaumont Enterprise.

to be innocent. But the law contem-
plates that the bond be valid and
enforcible, that the sureties be de-
pendable persons of means from
whom the forfeit may be recovered
a bond that does not literally and
completely meet these requirements
is merely a convenient means for
the accused to escape. Officers who
accept worthless bonds are neglect
ling their plain and solemn duty.
That bonds are actually lost or
cannot be found when required
seems incomprehensible. 1t is almost
as bad as if a jailer were to leave the
/ prison door open,
! The grand jury making this re-
port is composed of representative
citizens. and their statements must
! be taken seriously Courts are insti-
tuted and officers are elected to
bring the accused TO trial and the
/ guilty to punishment. Manifestly the
guilty cannot be punished if they are
not brought to trial.
Fort Worth has had regular
carnival of crime, great and small
for the last few weeks. and it will
continue so long as the criminal
classes have reason to believe that
they can escape upon flimsy bonds
1t will be materially abated as soon
as the criminal classes understand
