NEI8HBORHOOD NOTES.

i Hreesr, Items Called r'resi Usr Etekaages, lingle Lake cor. Citizen: Sonic villain made an effort last Saturday night to burn the pavilion on the lake, but failed, and but little damage was done. A barn containing four thousand bushels of corn on Cant. Dnnovant's plantation was utterly destroyed by fire Tuesday night. Supposed to be the work of an incendiary.

Halletsvillc New Bra: Jas. Ballard, whose examining trial forthe cutting of Julius Appelt was set for Monday, waived examination and will wait the action of the grand While in Htlletsylllelast Sunday a Bohemian woman named Susan Makek thrown out of a wagon and under the bones' hoofs. Hei skull was fractured, but the wound is not supposed to be fatal. Baatrop Advertiser: On Saturday shooting scrape occurred in Reid's Bend, between Lee Watson and W. B.

Hardwick, in which Wat; son was seriously wounded by a shot in the hip, and beaten on the head. Hardwick was arrested, but released on bond. Hardwick has made an affidavit against Watson on a charge of assault to murder, but he Is not able to stand trial. In (act, we learn, his chances for recovery are considered doubtful. Columbus Citizen: A few cases of measles have appeared In town! mostly of a mild form, readily yielding to treatment.

Last Sunday night at 7 o'clock Mr. Chas Peacock reported to Sheriff Reese that the debris under the cast wagon bridge brought down the high water some months was on The sheriff and assistants repaired to the scene and worked faithfully with buckets of water on the pile until they discovered no fire and thought it was out. At 3 o'clock Monday morning the fire bell -rang and the fire company repaired to the same driftwood and put the fire out again. At eleven o'clock same morning the alarm was again sounded, the fire company responded and again quenched the fire. This time the timber was removed and that fire will not break out any more.

Very little damage was doue to the bridge, only one support being burned a little at the bottom. News Specials: 'Halletsville, Lavaca April The examining trial of John and Charlie Othold, who are charged with the murder of Mrs. Stindt, out at ed In Justice Tewasend's court Tuesday. Witnesses and Others interested to the number of upwards of a hundred had been here from the western half of the county early Mondey morning. When the case was called the court mom was crowded.

The de- tendants waived examination and were remanded to jail without bail to await the action of the grand jury. Henry Othold, a brother of Join and Charlie, who was arrest- Adi AS an accessory, also waived examination, and it was agreed by counsel that his is a bailable case. Hud testimony will be submitted to the court in his case next Tuesday. FROM THE STATE CAPITAL. A large number of the demo- crataio the were fighting mad Saturday when they saw Governor Onlbersou's last vein message In cold type.

The read- Ing of it the day before stirred then up, hut 'lie matter In print makers to rise to a livid, lurid hcnt was the following! "Not satisfied with owning the stock and directing corporate affairs, this company Inking cntir age from successes elsewhere now openly seeks to consolidate these lines. To this end, among other things, It has established an adroit experienced lobby at the capital, wblch has proceeded with the work systematically and persistently, and with such effrontery, Indelicacy and boldness as to ex- cile more than marked comment legislators at.d the public, every Intelligent and conscientious legislator will welcome reliable data and Invlta high minded argument npon intricate and dlfllcnlt legislation, but It Is gratifying to know that the Insinuating and Importunate methods, the constant and Indecorous attendance upon committees, the unseemly liberties and familiarity taken and assumed In the legislative chambers, the resort to every species of blandishment by which supposed personal obligations may he created and the lavish and Indiscriminate use of pass, of this lobby, IIHVC justly provoked condemnation li.v large number of the leglslal are." Legislators declarethey will pass the bill over the veto. Ortaln It is, an effort will be made to do so. The bill Is one asked for by he penpla nf Texas living along the. lines of railroad involved, as they believe the consolidation will benefit the roads In the way of putting them In better order.

The fee bill has lost Its place on the calendar, but Mr. Hunt has given notice that he will try and call It up uext Thursday. Its Html fate fa very doubtful, but it looks as if It will fall to pass. The house bus refused by a vote of 80 to 42 to buy portrait of Governor Hogg, to place in the gullcry with the other portraits of all the state governors. The funny thing about it is the Clark men voted to buy, while most of thti Simon-pure Hogg men went "nglu'' the whole business.

R. A. Blandford, a prominent citlcen of this ciiy, and a high oft! clal In the order of Odd Fellows, after being for fourteen years a fugitive from justice, turned np here Friday, to the astonishment of everybody who knew him, and surrendered to the officers. In 1881 he was Indicted for emlietsling several thousand dollars from the Austin Building and Limn association, of which he secretary and treasurer, 'le escaped from Ihe officers one night and succeeded in reaching Mexico, where in 1882 he was kidnaped and arrested by the sheriff of Cameron coun- meet at Kiigle Lake, April '11, 1800: FIRST SESSION. 1.
