JEFFERSON — Ward Taylor, editor of the
Jefferson Jimplecente shot and killed E. J.
Patillo, editor of the Leader, in Jefferson
last Saturday. The difficulty grew out of an
editorial quarrel between the newspapers.
Patillo attempted to cowhide Taylor on the
street when the latter shot him through the
heart and killed him.
AUSTIN — The state comptroller estimates
expenditures for the fiscal years 1876-1878
yearly at $730,000, not including $20,000
necessary to support the Blind Asylum or
money to pay interest and provide a sinking
fund and to take up bonds falling due. Some
$400,000 in bonds falls due in the course of
the next twelve months, and no sinking fund
exists. State funds are inadequate to meet
the demand, so holders of the bonds will be
obliged to accept a reissue, or the state will
be compelled to issue bonds to meet the
payment. The new constitution requires the
15th Legislature to either pay or fund
$440,000 due school teachers for services,
and the comptroller suggests bonds, as it
will be impossible to pay this obligation
otherwise.
LAREDO — At the request of a special
deputy U.S. Marshall, Major Merriman
planted a 12-pound gun on the Mexican bank
of the river this morning. At 1:00 this af-
ternoon the Mexicans opened a hot fire from
New Laredo (Mexico) on our guard at the
ferry, but they were compelled to withdraw.
The fire was concentrated on the gunners,
whereupon Lieutenant Saxton threw two
shells into New Laredo from his 12-pounder,
which silenced their fire on American
citizens and our soldiers.
KAUFMAN COUNTY — A lady in Terrell is
studying medicine with a view to making
that profession a livelihood.
SAN ANTONIO — It would seem that opium
is fast growing popular with the insatiate
greed of debauchees. The statistics giving
an account of the alarming increases of the
drug are alarming to such an extent that
legislators have frequently discussed the
propriety of passing laws to restrict the
importation of opium to legitimate limits.
SAN ANTONIO — The Mengar Bar was a
scene of devotional exercises yesterday
morning. A lady in the city to campaign for
temperence sang hymns and prayed. It was
the first publicity of her work in this city.
After inviting the benediction of God upon
the proprieter and wishing him a speedy
return to righteous ways, she retired.
MONTAGUE COUNTY — The Montague
News says: “Montague is now luxuriating
in the possession of a prophet by the name of
Dr. Eads, who says the world will come to
an end in July, 1878. The Doctor is well
versed in historical lore, especially biblical
history. We are much obliged to him for this
precious information, for it gives us so
much time to repent of our sins before the
final dissolution.”
