CITY AND COUNTY.
FflOM TTJESDAY'3 DAILY.
A IToper Step.
The oounty commissioners by their
unanimous vote yesterday eveniDg to
ereot a bndye aorosa Barton creek have
done well. No improvement of like oost
will prodnoe greater returns in remuner
ative ' business to onr city cr open ud
greater possibilities for trade with the
counties of Blanco Jjlano Burnet and
Gillespie.
Foil From a Roof.
George Eearne a painter engaged at
work on tne root ot a building on Brazos
and Ninth street sustained painful in
juries yesterday by railing from the roof.
He fell a distance of about fifteen feet
and while no bones were broken it is
feared that he may have Buffered internal
injuries. Dr. J. N. McLaughlin was culled
and rendered the neoeesary medical aid.
. Davy Crockett's Picture.
Adjutant-general King has just had
bang in his offioe a life-size picture of
Davy Crockett. It was painted by Mrs.
Henry M. Marchant of this state and the
features are taken from a portrait in the
possession of a grandson of Davy Crook-
ett. The frontiersman is represented with
his gun and dog equipped for the woods.
The piotare for some time past has been
in the honse of representatives to the
right of the entrance.
New Appointments.
Mr. S. L MoCullongh late engrossing
olerk of the honse of representatives now
wields a pen' in the comptroller's office.
Mr. MoCullongh is a first-rate business
man and will no donbt fill his present po-
sition as acceptably as he did that of en-
grossing olerk.
Mr. A. J. Olopton one of the commit-
tee clerks of the honse has been ap-
pointed stenographic) o!erk in the office of
the state superintendent of ednoation.
Mr. Clopton is a graduate of the State
University and is a young man of excel-
lent business qualifications.
The Alamo Monument.
By terms of the general appropriation
bill $15000 is appropriated for ereoting
a monument to commemorate the deed
of the heroes of the Alamo and while this
amount is exaotly ten times as great as
Unole It-aao Parker of Tarrant thought
ought to b9 "throwed" away it is
painfully insignificant when the resources
of the state and the event to be commem-
orated are taken into coi sideration. The
monument is to bo erected either in the
capitol building or on the grounds. It is
thought however that a very attractive
design can be pat up for the amount al-
lowed. The Typographical Union.
At a meeting of the Typographical
Union held Sunday the following officers
were eleoted:
President J. 0. Jordan.
Vice-president--Lyn'M. Walsh.
Financial secretary Elmer E. Goodell.

Arrested and Fined.
An aged oolored oouplewho live some five
miles in tne country appeared in Justioe
Stuart's court yesterdaj and made com-
plaint against one George Marshall
colored for using bad language and
making himself a nuisance generally.
Among other things tbey represented the
disturber of their peace as a - very bad
man. In faot they said he had counted
the men he had kiiled on his fingers and
the eld people warned the officers of the
tremendous job they would have in taking
this bad man. Therefore Constable
Robertson and Deputy Jonea went out
prepared to meet the bold bad man but
they were agreeably surprised to find that
he made no resistance at all. Tbey
brought him to town and after being
fined appropriately for disturbing the
peaoe he paid his fine and was released.
s A Curious Attitude.
Sheriff White and Constable Roberson
find themselves in a ourious attitude as
regards eaoh other. Each one is in the
oustody of the other and constructively
both are in jail eajh being the jailer of
the other. Some time ago Sheriff White
was fined $50 for contempt in failing to
exeoute a process and committed to the
oustody of Constable Raberson. Yesterday
Just'oe Stuart upon motion of the plaint-
iff in the sequestration oase of Cooper
vs. Sanford fined Constable Robereon $39
for failing to make return upon process
and oommitted him to the custody of
the sheriff. The sheriff and the constable
will no doubt beoome fast friends while
looking after one another.
A Pleasant Affair.
A pleasant affair in the shape ot a
printers' reunion occurred last night at
the residence of Mr. August Tieleman on
Red River street. . About twenty com
positors were present the ooofision being
the presentation of a gold watch to Mr.
E. W.Sobultz in appreciation of bis ser-
vices as "father of the chapel" of the force
which did the printing on the Legislative
Journals.
A gold-headed umbrella was also pre-
sented to Mr. E. C. Sohnltz foreman of
the force. The presentation speech was
made by Hon. J. M. Brackenridge judge
of the oounty oonrt and a first-rate good
time was had. Judge Braokenridge pa'd
a high onmpliment to the craft saying
he never knew one who refused to help a
brother printer in distress. .

EDUCATIONAL DEPABTMENT.
The following counties have recently
adopted the district system: Anderson
Archer Atascosa Austin Bandera El
Paso Gillespie Gonzales LaSalle Mason
Wheeler.
He Wanted a Crossing.
Sinoe the adjournment of the legislature
an unique petition from a farmer in
in Washington -county has been found in
one of the committee rooms of the house.
He desired the legislature to compel tne
8anta Fe railway company to build a cros-
sing on his land. He reoites in the peti-
tion that the said railroad track runs
through two of his pastures and he wants
"said oompany to erect in eaoh of my pas-
tures a railroad crossing for the f roe and
easy passage lor all domestioated animals
wagons and other oattle." The petition
is aooompanied with an elaborate map of
the pastures and after asserting that his
pastures existed before the railroad was
built concludes that "therefore the rail-
road is built through the pasture
but not the pasture through
the railroad." He concludes with
this postscript: "N. B. I transferred my
property to my son to finifh my house
but I kept the mastery thereby in my
hand as long as I live." The petition goes
over as unfinished business the oommi'tee
never having reported on it.
DEEP WATER FOR TEXAS.
What Mr. Angle Says About the
WorJ. at the Brazos.
Mr. G. W. Angle of San Antonio who
is largely interested in the deep water
project at the mouth of the Brezos river
was in the oity yesterday having just re
turned from the soene of the work. in
conversation with a Statesman reporter
he said that Mr. Wilke the oontraotor
had now several hundred men at work
and that the.force would be inoreased as
oooasion demanded until a thousand men
were employed.
"Where will you get the stone for the
work?"
"We will get it on the coast of Maine.
The stone there is better for our purposes
in that it stands the ravages of water and
time better than the sandstone which the
government uses in similar work. Be-
sides the only oost is that of transports
tion as the vessels load with it from the
islands eff the coast of Maine. 1 oounted
the other day some ten or eleven vessels
in port loaded with material for the
work."
"When will you have deep water"
"By January 1 we will have twenty feet
of water and our engineers tell us we can
get thirty feet if we want it. Immediately
after the present oontraot with Mr. Wilke
which oalls for twenty feet of water is
oompleted we shall not stop but shall
oontinne until we have at least twenty six
feet of water. This will be deep enough
for all praotioal purposes for during the
past three years only one vessel has
visited New Orleans that required as much
as twenty-five feet."
"What kind of a harbor will you have?"
"One perfectly seoure entirely land
looked. After the bar at the mouth of
the river is passed there are thirty feet
of water for some ten miles up the river
and here is acreage enough to hold any
reasonable number of vessels in safety."
"How about railroad facilities ?"
"Our engineers are now in the field
running a line from Houston and in
thirty days we expeot to oommence grad-
ing and in about ninety days trains will be
cunning on the Brazos and Northern rail-
way." Mr. Angle Efiys there is great activity in
real estate at the town of Qnintana and
that from a few hundred this town has
inoreased its population to about 1000.
The oompany in which Mr. Anglo is a
stockholder owns the land on both sides
of the river from the mouth to a distance
of about sixteen miles. There is no longer
any doubt deep water will be secured
at the BrazoB. Major E. L. Corthell the
chi.ef engineer of this work had charge
of the jetty work at the mouth of the
Mississippi under Eads and is consider-
ed this great engineer's legitimate succes-
sor. His opinion in the matter sets at
rest all doubts that the most skeptical
may have.

AN INTERESTING OCCASION.
A Young Lady Admitted to the
Typographical Union.
At the last meeting of Austin Typo-
graphic Union it was the gratifying
pleasure of the organization to admit to
full membership an Austin young lady
who has served her apprenticeship and de-
serves the credit ot being a competent
oompositor and printer. The young ledy
Miss Eitello Duvinage is the daughter of
our fellow-townsman Mr. J. P. Duvinage
formerly connected with the Texas Vor-
waertz. When it is known that the Typo-
graphical Union requires an apprentice-
ship of five years and then subjects an ap-
plicant for membership to a rigid exami-
nation aB to competency too much praise
cannot be bestowed upon the plucky little
lady who has just successfully stood the
test and been admitted to the Printers'
Union the oldest and best established
labor organization in the world.
Yesterday afternoon while the oompos-
ltora wore busily "distributing" their
oasec preparatory to the night's work on
The Statesman two large buckets filled
with ioe cream accoinoaried by cake and
ctber delicacies made 'heir appearance in
the composing room and were appropri-
ately served by Miss Duvinage as a mark
of appreciation of the Union and while
everbody prooeeded to partake of the
toothsome spread a feeling of gallant
pride filled the hearts of every member
present that Austin has the banner union
of Texas having a lady member to add
dignity to its deliberations.

CONFEDERATE VETERANS.
Meeting of John B. Hood Camp

The regular monthly meeting of the
John B. Hood Camp Confederate veterans
was held yesterday. Oolo: el Fred Carle-
ton commander presiding and Will Lam-
bert adjutan at the clerk's desk.

John L. Blaine and others.
Colonel Frank B. Chilton and Mr. D. F.
Wright were eleoted members of the
camp.
Under the head of "Good of the Camp"
there was a general "camp fire talk" in
which the "old vets" interchanged views
regarding the welfare of the Confederate
home.
The question of the amount of revenue
likely to be reoeived from the rent of the
temporary oapitol was f ally disonssed
and while all present expressed gratitude
for the legislature's aotion in leasing the
building to the oamp all agreed that the
money it will bring to the organization
will not be more than half enough to meet
the annual expenses of the Home. The
institution has been managed as
economically as it could possibly be
done and expecses have been
on an average of about $250 per month
The oapitol may bring in $2000 per an-
num The reader oan readily see how far
toward oovering the annual expenses of
the home the annual inc. me from the
building will extend.
The internal workings of the Home are
in a healthy condition.
A oash contribution was reoeived from
Garfield post No. 35 G. A. R. Wiohita
Kan. and contributions of other charac-
ters were announoed whioh will hereaftor

Dear Sirs Noticing that there has been
a leoture in New York for the benefit of
your Home leads me to ask if yon would
accept of odd slippers for the Homo. In
the manufacture of a great variety of
gcods we find that we accumulate frcm
time to time odd slippers. It has oc
curred to me that quit? likely they might
be of service to yoo. I should present
them to yon free of coat. It might take
some three or four weeks to get them
ready but should they be of use to you
you would be welcome to them. With
kind regards very respectfully -

DEATH QF A STRANGER. .
Charles H. Sheridan a Conductor
Suddenly Expires in his Room.
Charles H. Sher'dan a stranger in this
oity was found dead yesterday about noon
in his room at he Granberry house on East
Ninth street. He arrived in the city
about a week ago and was evidently in the
last stages -of consumption being very
weak and emaciated. Before going to hi?
room Monday night heats a hearty sap-
per and left orders to be called about 12
o'clock if he did not get up sooner. That
was the last seen of him in life. At the
appointed time he failed to respond to
repeated knocks upon his door and
a look over the trausi m rtvealed hl
body stretohed across the foot of the bed.
The lamp in the room was still burning
brightly and it was evident that the de-
ceased was prepariog to rtttre when
being overoome with weakness be laid
across the foot of the bed prone upon his
face and quietly expired without a strug-
gle. From papers found upon the per-
son of the deoeased it appears that he
was from Bardstown III. and had been a
oonduotor on the Chicago Burlington and
Quinoy railroad. He was member of
Friendship Division No. 81 Order of Rail-
way oonduotors and was correspondent
of his division. He left Bardstown on the
20th ot March and appears to have gote
to San Antonio first and to have come
here frcm that oity. He has a brother
W. G. Sheridan a tailor at 157 West
Madison street Chioago and he was noti-
fied of the death. The deceased seemed
to be a man of about 30 years of age and
besides a trunk of wearing apparel had
a gold watoh and about $50 upon his per-
son. Justioe Calhoun acting as coroner
held the inquest and ordered his ntmaina
embalmed to await the orders of his rela-
tives. Death of Doctor Johnson.
Dr. L. B. Johnson a prominent and
well-known physioian of this oity died

iamsburg Clermont county O and
graduated at the Ohio Medioal oollege in
Cincinnati. He spent his early life in hie

THE DIAMOND.
Austin Defeated Again in Yester-
day's GameOther Notes.
If there be any truth in the saying that
"a bad beginning makes a good ending"
our club onght oertainly to get there in
the end as we have just wound;''' a series
with what was supposed to be ' .tVeakeal
team in the league without a ae to the
club's credit and we start f by being
tail-enders. The standing o he olubs on
the first series played is as follows;
Waco a
li)U
Fort Worth 8
Houston ;. 3
Dallas 11
Galveston 3
Austin 3
frt
kill
am
uwo
The supposition tbat Waco is weak has
been somewhat dispelled by their work in
the first series as they held tbe
Austin teem down very- will. Their
batting however is no criterion
ot their strength as by an
analysis of the soores of the past three
games in Waoo our weakest point is shown
in battery work Waoo making in the total
soore forty-five hits against Austin'
eighteen whiob Bbows apparently that the
pitching department is very deficient. The
infield is perhaps equal to any in the
league. They are good average fielder?
fine pick-ups and throwers and six of the
team are far above the average in bat-
ting. Then it can be safely put down
that if the Austin team oan
get pitchers equal in the points
to the other pitchers of the
league why they will have a well balanced
olub and one that will make them all
look to their laurels. The first series
goes for naught and we most bear a little
with the club until it gets in good playing
shape.
Burt Dwsne the new oatoher signed ar-
rived yesterday morning and is a good
looker and has a fine reputation aa a
backstop. He will probably catob to-day.
Galveston will be the opposing team and
as Houston has done up the Hand Crab's
brown in two games tbey must be soft
shells and Austin will perhaps make a
better showing with them notwithstand-
ing the weakness of tbe batteries.
Rheumatism.
To have Rheumatic pains in one's ankle
constantly for forty years is an affliction
lDdend. To bave those pains extend to
one's limbs and even heart is tenfold
worse. Bat to have them all removed by
Laoupia is an inestimable blessing. Yet
this is f recinely the experlnoe of H. M.
Abbey Newoomb Mioh. Laoupia only $1
a bot'.le.
