We take this method of informing you that
" Reed's Gilt-Edge Tonic " has been classified by
the commissioner of internal revenue as a Medi-
#ine which may be sold without rendering the ven-
dor liable to pay a special tax as a liquor dealer. If,
however, it is at any time called in question by
them, we request that we shall be immediately in-
formed. so we can properly protect the rights of
our patrons, under the decision of the commissioner
of internal revenue, below cited.
Yours Respectfully,

Gentlemen— * * * I notice also on one of
your printed circulars, certificates from two chem-
ists, who certify that the scientific manner in which
the various substances which enter into their com-
position, are combined, results in the production of
a Bitter of great excellence and purity. FYom an
examination of the samples I am forced to the con-
clusion, that while not unpleasant to the taste, in
consequence of anv active medicinal drug, still
they are wo strongly impregnated with * * *
Calisaya and Snake Root, that they would not or-
dinarily be used as an alcoholic beverage, or, by
persons who did not think they required something
similar * * * as a remedial agent. Mv decision
is therefore, that * * * they may be sold with-
out rendering the vendor liable to pay special tax
as a liquor dealer. Yours respectfully,
GREEN B. RAUM, Commissioner.

The County Commissioners met in regular
session to-day, with a full board present ex-
cept Commissioner Ellis, of the Hocklev pre-
cinct.
The following business was transacted:
The assessment of Wm. Koops, on 500 acres

hides and animals for Harris county be ap-
proved and indorsed by the court, and that his
bond ill the sum ot $3000. with C. Anson Jones,
S. S. Ashe and Charles Grumbach as sureties!
be approved, and that the said A. L. Autery
be qualified to perform the duties of said ofiice.
The county judge objected to so much of the
above order as sets forth the court's approval
of the appointment by the governor'on the
ground that it was the prerogative of his ex-
cellency, over which the court had not juris-
diction, nolens volens.
Tho county judge presented his quarterly re-
port of the sale of school lands, blowing that
silica his last report ho had sold to H. P.
George lot o, iu section 27. 40 acres, at i i 50
per ucre, $100, to be paid #20 in cash aud bal-
ance in four yearly installments of $20 each,
with interest at S per cent. Report received
and approved.
The county judge also presented his report
of convict hire for the past quarter, showing
$527 30 paid in to the treasurer from this
source of county revenue. The report was re-
ceived aud approved.
District Clerk James Burke reported $5 col-
lected ou jury fees in the District Court, and
his report was received and approved.
The reports of tho county judge aud district

The petition of Harmon Youngst, asking an
increase of salary from $45 to $T5 per month
as jailer, was referred to the county judge for
examination.

crimes and casualties.
Saturday evening, out in the neighborhood
of Westheimers, about three miles from the
city, two men named Jack Brooks aud A. T.
Richards became engaged in a difficulty.
Richards shot at Brooks several times with a
revolver without hitting him, when Brooks
returned the fire, lodging a number of small
shot into the body of Richards from a shot-
gun, but indicting no very serious
wounds. Brooks was arrested to-
day and was arraigned before Justice
Anders for a preliminary trial this afternoon,
but he waived examination and gave a $300
bond for his appearance before the Criminal
Court. Richards tried to withdraw tho charge
before the trial came off, but the justice would
not permit it. Richards will probably also
decline to prosecute liefore the grand jury and
Criminal Court, aud the case will be dismissed.
The parties have now had a reconciliation
and are good friends. Two men named
Morris Bond and John Jameson, employed
by the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe road in
improving their track and road-bed near the
crossing of Buffalo bayou, became engaged in
a difficulty to-day over a team, when Bond
struck Jameson over the head with a heavy
piece of plauk, iuflictiug a severe wound.
Bond was arrested by Deputy Sheriff GlassI
cock and Deputy Marshal Glass and locked up
to answer to the charge of assault to murder.
About 8 o'clock last night, while Mr. Tom
Hays, a well-known Second ward grocer, was
standing in his store, some party from the out-
side fired three shots at him with a pistol, and,
luckily, missed him every shot. Mr. Hays got
his gun and attempted to shoot the would-be
assassin as he rau off, but the gun missed fire
aud tho fellow escaped. Who the party was
or Jthat was his motive, Mr. Hays can not
imagine. He saw nothing more of" him than
that he was a white man.
Last night, at the Mount Zion Colored
church, in the Second ward, a negro commoqly
known as Handy had some trouble with an-
other negro and fired at him, but the ball,
missing its mark, struck a negro woman, in-
flicting a painful but not a serious wound. An
affidavit has been sworn out and a warrant is-
sued for Handy's arrest, on the charge of as-
sault to murder, but up to the present time he
has not been captured.

trol service as sjiecial policemen, without pay
from the city. These special officers and their
beats are as follows: Buckley, at House's bank-
Furlough, at Fox's bank; Thompson, at Wig-
gin & Simpson's foundry; Patterson, ou the
Slain street block bounded by Main, Preston,
Travis and Prairie streets; and Parish, at
Cleveland's store. A number of watchmen
are soon to be placed inr the resident portion of
the city.
The following appears in the New Orleans
Tunes-Democrat of Sunday: "The Morgan
Vail road has issued a circular to connecting
lines to the effect that on August 15 the Gal-
veston line of steamers will be withdrawn,and
requesting that all rates, both passenger and
freight, be ordered off via the steamers to Gal-
veston. The passeuger rates to Galveston will
be made by adding $1 50 to the Houston rate."
Y our correspondent, in making inquiries re-
garding the above, is led to the conclusion that
Mr. Hoxie's recent visit to Texas was in con-
nection with the change announced, aud he is
further informed that a line of through sleep-
ers from New Orleans to Galveston, via tho
Texas and New Orleans and Galveston. Hous-
ton and Henderson, will in all probability be
one of the immediate results.

Dallas, August 13.—The constitutional
amendments may go by default in this county
to-morrow, as no tickets have been printed.
A few public-spirited citizens this afternoon
thought of having tickets struck off, but these
good intentions weakened when the question
of expense aud how to get the tickets dis-
tributed presented itself. The same apathy
over the State is expected. Those who vote in

Among lawyers it is surmised that Judge
xiurt, who has under advisement the question
as to whether the City Council of Dallas has
concurrent jurisdiction over misdemeanors with
power to fine as high as $200 and to imprison
will decide the new city charter granting
those powers to l>e unconstitutional.
The matter is discussed in legal circles
as a problem involving intrenchment on the
jurisdiction of other courts, whose powers are
denned in the constitution. While the record
er s court or city court is not mentioned, how-
ever, the constitution grants the power to
create such inferior courts as from time to
time may be deemed necessary, and under this
it was held by supporters of the new charter in
the Eighteenth Legislature, that the city court
could have concurrent jurisdiction in misde-
meanors. This provision in said charter is spe-
cially directed against the bawdy houses, with
a view to breaking them up bv heavy fines.

road from Dallas northeast, the latter has
made no responsive move. Several citi
zens have conferred with the rail-
road officials oil the matter, but not
as accredited agents of the city. On the other
hand it is judged from remarks let fall by the

felt m getting this road than any other rail-
way project affecting Dallas just now .

Big Sprixgs, August 13.—A fight occurred
a few nights ago, between Mr. Fisher, one of
our merchants, and Mr. Webb, a railroad con-
ductor. Domestic trouble has been going on
in the Fisher family for some time, he and his
wife separating on one or two occasions, but,
through the interference of friends, reconcilia-
tion was brought about, and everything
seemed to be in statu quo, until the difficulty
named took place. Mr. Fisher, it seems, had
strictly forbidden his wife to have any conver-
sation with a certain woman whom he claimed
to be of loose virtue, which he says his wife
did have. He, at night, weut to a room which he
was renting to Mr. Webb, and there found his
w-ife. He asked her what she was doing there.
She replied that she wanted to get something
out of her wardrobe. He seized her by the
arm aud attempted to take her from the room,
whereupon a pitched battle took place with
Mr. Webb and Mrs. Fisher on one side and
Mr. Fisher ou the other. After several rounds
and knockdowns, Mr. Fisher came out third
best, and Mr. Webb was declared champion of
the ring. Mr. Fisher was fined $5 and costs,
and a divorce is under way.

McKinney, August 13.—Genaral rains
throughout the county the past few davs
have improved the condition of cotton and
late corn crops wonderfully.
The Committee of Arrangements on the re-
union passed resolutions complimentary to
Colonel W. H. Sinclair, and Samson Heiden
heimer, of Galveston, for the loan of flags,
also, to Sanger Brothers, of Dallas, for loan of
tents, flags, and other assistance. Resolutions
highly complimentary to Colonel Thomas H.
Murray, as the successful organizer and man
ager of the reunion, were also adopted by the
committee.
One of the most touching incidents of the
reunion, and not noted heretofore, was the pre
sentation of a magnificent flag by some un-
known person to the survivors of Ross's bri-
gade. The presentation speech was made by
General Ross, and it brought many a tear from
the eyes of his old veterans. Colonel
Thomas H. Murray, who received the flag, and
General Ross, who presented the same, refused
to give the name of the donor; but from the
remarks of these gentlemen, it is universally
believed that the donor was the liberal aud val-
iant old soldier, Colonel W. L. Moody, of Gal-
veston.

JEFFERSON.
The Constitutional Amendments Elec-
tion—Personal.
[Special Telegram to The News.l
Jefferson, August 13.—The vote on tha
constitutional amendments to-morrow is ex-
pected to be very light in this section. What
vote is cast, however, will be in the main
against the tax amendments. They are op-
posed by men who are sincere advocates of the
free-school system, but who think they are so
loaded with dangerous and objectionable fea-
tures that it would be a great misfortune to
adopt them. The people here also believe that
to adopt them would unnecessarily increase
the maximum of taxation. The belief is well
nigh universal here that the other clause is in-
tended and will operate iu the interest of bond-
ed and moneyed syndicates, and the school
fund become the food of the raili'oad and the
lobby. The guarantee by the State of the in-
vestment by the legislature is thought to mean
nothing but certain aud inevitable taxation.
Y
solicitous support given the
"egislature <
vhe strong and
amendments by members of the legislature ex-
cites comment among people here. An amend-
ment that would separate the school H
from general revenue and allow a larger pro-
portion of the taxes than now to be set apart
for the school fund, and provide for its invest-
ment in known solvent and well-defined secu-
rities, would have received cordial support
from free-school members, but as proposed the
amendments are believed to go too far, both
iu maximum taxation and the securities of in-
vestment.

is very kindly and cordi&Aj^§§Jo«£d B&tfg l'or

lion. W. L. Amistead, chairman of the House
Committee ou Constitutional Amendments,
said to-day: In my opinion the opposition to
tho adoption of the constitutional amendments
to be voted 011 to-morrow, springs mainly from
the influence of the syndicate and owners of
the $2,000,000 of outstanding state bonds, who
desire to see them defeated in order that they
may sell their bonds at large premium to the
State. They are not satisfied with 40 cents
which they have been receiving, but they want
100 cents on the dollar, at the expense of the
children of Texas.
