publican census in 1900 gets

Damage Suit Filed.
In the district court Francis
Fields and John Fields, • by his
next friend Francis Fields, have
filed suit against the Houston
and Texas Central railroad com-
pany for personal damages
amounting to 86600. In plain-
tiffs' original petition it is alleged
that on June 20th John Fields, a
minor, entered a Central passen-
ger train for the purpose of
assisting two women with thoir
baggage. That beforo this was
accomplished tho train started
and got under such headway
that he was afraid to jump off.
While standing on the platform
it is claimed he was pushed off
by the conductor or some other
employe of the company and fell
under the wheels, sustaining
injuries that necessitated the
amputation of one foot. Francis
claims §1500 for the loss of the
services of her son for two years
and S100 for doctor bill. John
wants 81000 for mental anguish
and physical pain and S4000 for
actual damages in the loss of his
foot.
Grading Day Street.
The county convicts under
Superintendent Robertson, as-
sisted by several fiands and
teams furnished by the city, are
at work grading Day street from
the intersection of Tom Green
street to the city limits. After
grading the street will be clayed,
which will metamorphose it from
a bed of sand to one of the city's
best thoroughfares. Sixteen
con%ricts, nine hired hands and
eight teams are engaged on the
work, and expect to finish it by
Friday night. This is the last
road work that the superintend-
ent intends doing until after the
cotton crop at the county farm is
gathered.

At a regular meeting of Cart
mell Lodge No. 39,1. O. O. F.,
held on Tuesday night, August
10th, the proposal for holding a

sion, resulting in the appointing
of brothers T. S. Teague and
John G. Rankin as a committee
to confer with the Daughters of
Rebekah Lodge concerning the
feasibility of the proposition and
report at next meeting. As the
members of Cartmell Lodge are
in favor of the proposition almost

reasonably good.

Mr. Henry C. Swain Passes Away Wed-
nesday Horning.
At his residence in South Bren-
ham Wednesday morning at 10:40
o'clock Mr. Henry C." Swain
breathed his last. His death re-
sulted from consumption, against
tho ravages of which he had con-
tended for more than a year. For
a month or more his death has
been expected at any moment.
The knowledge that it is inevitable
alleviates to some extent the
poignancy of grief when the
reaper whose name is death,
claims his harvest. Then, too,
the sweet assurance of prepara-
tion for the nutried shores across
the river found in the life and
example of the departed should
be a minister of comfort and
benediction to the afflicted family
in whose sorrow the city as a
whole sympathizes.
Mr Swain was a member of the
Baptist church who knew the
right and dared to do it, and his
life and character were thorough-
ly consistent with the faith he
professed and tho cause ho es-
poused. He was born June 25th,
1835, in New Orleans, La., and
had been a resident of Brenham
for more than a quarter of a cen-
tury. He served the city several
terms as marshall in the '70's,
being succeeded by his brother,
Theodore L. Swain, whose death
occured last spring. In Dec. 17,
1872, ho married Miss Jennie
Parks, daughter of Mr. D. J.
Parks, who survives him. Seven
children blessed the union, four
of whom, Harry, Eugene, Pearl
and Annie May are living.
Mr. Swain possessed many
warm friends in the city and
from the time his malady was
known to be of a malignant type
they constantly attended his bed-
side, doing all that love and
sympathy could devise and sug-
gest to alleviate his suffering and
prolong his fast waning existence.
Their sympathy and kindly min-
istrations blessed the closing
hours of his earthly careor and
doubtless proved a great source
of comfort and consolation to
the afflicted family, to whom tho
Banner tenders its profound
sympathy.
The funeral will occur from the
family residence at 10 o'clock
this morning.
That Chapter of Accidents.
It was doubtless both tho cumu-
lative lessons of observation and
experience that inspired tho au-
thor of "misfortunes come not
singly." One woe continues to
tread upon the heels of another
in the ill-starred luck that has
characterized the affairs of Mr.
F. Fischer the past week, and it
seems that the presence of some
amuletic mascot; will bo necessary
to remove the evil jonah that at
present holds sway.
Another mishap was added to
the chapter of accidents Wednes-
day morning when the market
delivery wagon collided with a
Santa Fo freight train and es-
caped from the crash minus a
wheel and shaft. The driver
claims that the train backed
down against the vehicle, and
that tho horse took fright and
broke out the shaft.
Mr. Julius Fischer, who is laid
up with a broken arm, received
by a fall at Chappell Hill last
week, says heretofore he has not
been orthodox' on the subject of
rabbit feet, but in the future he
expects to carry ono continuously
in his left vest pocket.

Julius Russi of Burton Wants Heavy
Damages for False Imprisonment.
H. M. Bryan, constable of pro-
cinct No. 4, Burton, and his
bondsmen have a full-fledged
damage suit on hand, and have
been cited to appear in the dis-
trict court at the September torm
and show cause why Julius Russi
should not recover damages as
prayed for in a petition filed with
the district clerk Wednesday by
Messrs. J. B. Matthews and J.
M. Mathis, attorneys for the
plaintiff. The bondsmen are A.
S. Whitener, J. M. Craig, T. J.
Await and C. W. Homeyer. The
defendant prays judgment for
S5000 actual and $2600 exemplary
damages, $1000 of which to be
against Bryan and his bondsmen
and the balance against Bryan
individually, S1000 being the
amount of the constablo's official
bond.
In the| petition* the plaintiff
makes the usual allegations as to
good character and standing in
his community, and asserts that
on Nov. 26, 1896, the defendant
constable filed an affidavit
against plaintiff before Justice
J. J. McCain, charging him, the
plaintiff, with the theft of cotton
of a value less than $20, from the
said defendant constable; that
when the plaintiff denied his guilt
when being arrested the consta-
ble struck him over the head with
a six shooter; that the constable
brought him to Brenham and
lodged him in jail, where he re-
mained sovendays, until released
by order of tho county attorney.
The plaintiff claims that tho con-
stable acted in the matter through
malice and without reasonable
cause for so doing.

years, I claim that I have discov-

and leave it soft and glossy. All
of this is accomplished without
having to wash the head, thus
recommending itself to the ladies
especially. Names of those who
have used it in the city furnished
