BOBT NEWS NOTES- District Court In Session bnt No Important Casos Before It-- Something About tho Town and County. EOBY, September District Court, J.ndge Cockrell boon in session with rather a light docket the weet.

Two of the most Important cases were transferred.

This case was transferred to Travis connty by agreement. The other case goes to Holan oonnty by agreement. Judge Cookrell Indicating his disqualification, and Is a contest so called ot the election at which this place was decided to be the county seat.

The grand jnry sat bnt two days and returned but one pill, and that lor a misdemeanor. Abundant rains have fallen during the past week all over tbe county, delaying mails on several occasions by causing the creeks to Bet np. The county bas been full of Jhome-sookors lor the past month: Many attracted by the superior lunds Have located. There are yet nearly 100 school sections ol land that are subject to purchases whenever Commissioner Hall will give the people a chance. Ee Is retarding the advancement ot this conaty materially by keeping everything connected with the sale ol the school lands here wrapped in uncertainty.

Wouldbo actual settlers are ready and waiting to tnke np any number oJ socilons whenover they ascertain that the land le on tho market and at what prico. No classifier tas been heard ol lor this county. In April, 1S3C, when was organized, 130 votes were polled, and every voter In the county was supposed to be out This year tboro aro 230 poll taxes levied In the county, showing a clear Increase of 100 voters. Multiplying this number by the usual method- thai is counting five oltlzons to every voter- there is an Increase In population ol 500 in less than a year In spite ol the much talked drouth. Last year there wero ninety children In the connty of scholastic age.

This year there are 210. Tin first marriage ceremony ever performed in the town of Koby was performed by Judge Thomas this morning, the parties being Mr. L. H. Brooks and Miss Cordia Scott ol Krdgerbcnd north Amorioi.

CHICAOO, 111-, September annual session tho Krolgorbund of North lea was opened this morning at Bni ball by Chairman Herman 1 Cincinnati. The German warriors compose this society, soma In their and all with badges, wore into one of the smaller hills to trausacl business of the session, whllo four 1 tables were spread In a larger hall, 1 1 icy bonqueted at noon. Tlo committee on credentials one officers made their reports. Tho rei- ot the chairman showed that the ship is every day Increasing, and thai n. Se financial secretary proved the bund beta a condition THE ASYLUM INVESTIGATION.

NOT MUCH OF INTEREST DEVELOPED, The Testimony Introduced Yesterday Princl- pally Confined to Very Trifling and Silly Matters. AUSTIN, September board of lunatlo asylum managoru procoddod with thoir Investigation all day. Evidence that Mr. Kelson held two positions In the asj'lum, as MB Is taut cook and scavenger, was admitted, though It appears that the comptroller refused to pay his scavenger salary. He was employed la the double capacity by the board to Tho salary was CO per month for both positions and tho comptroller cut off $10 of it.

Mr. Nelson, it appears, is a tutor at the university during its session and in vacation works at the asylum. Ho Is a young man who supported his mother and sister. It was shown that his predecessor had filled both positions In the asylum. The rest oi the testimony, which was mainly of attendants, related to matters testified about Saturday.

Testimony as to tbe charge of prevarication of Dr. Doreett was Introduced. Dr. Denton, tie predecessor of to promises of Dorset! to appoint Drs. Bennett and Maxwell first and second assiitaut physicians, anil to tho statement of Dorsett, after others received tbe appointments, that the governor and board oi managers overruled bis appointments.

Bennett testified to about tho same thing, paper was Introduced showing that tbe names of Bennett and Maxwell went before the board as applicants. Maxwell was indorsed on the paper by Dr. Dorsott, but Bennett's name it seamed was not indorsed. Tho board mates tho appointmants upon the nominations oir tho superintendent. Dr.

Donton testified as to hearing that Bopes, a patient, had died from 1 injuries by another patient. Ho testified that the latter was dangerous and: should bo closely watched, but such accidents happened during his own administration. AB an export be testified that rough talt to patients and harsh treatment was bad and out of vogue. By adroit questions the prosecuting conn' sel drew out of Dr. Denton a marked differ' ence in.

Ms own management of patients from that tho other witnesses had shown to be tbe management of Dr. Denton had not forced any patients to wort. It was a matter of option with the patients. Ho toBtified to two patients that Dr, Dorsott had discharged being as crazy after discharge as before. His record shows that one of thorn was discharged as never having been Insane.

The certificate of County Judge Braokonrldge was Introduced, stating that the two wero sufficiently tractable to DO cared for by their families, and another certificate from the county clerk that they bad beon adjudged insane. Dr. Daniel testified that Dr. Dorsettprom- that Drs. Bennett and Maxwell should bo retained at the asylum at least for a while.

(Several female and ox-attond- onta swore to the rouRh language of Dr. Dorsett to employes; two or throe to his partiality In giving leave permits. OneoJ them testified that he came into her ward and promised a patient she should go" homa --that the governor had ordered it--and from his words and motions sho thongat he was drunk. She smelled whisky on him when she opened tho door to let nlm out. The other attendant of that ward testified that be camo in there noxt day sad didn't remember having made any such promise.

When ho denied making tbo -promise the patient charged him with telling her a lie, and the doctor thereupon ordered hor to ba locfcod up In hor room for a couplo of Wteks, or until uhe was In a bettor state'of mind. Tho attendant only kept her looked up until dinner time. Another female, ox-attendant, who had been discharged because the doctor said Ebo company with young men on tho grounds after dark, testified that she was getting ready to go away anyway. Ho had betn partial in granting leave oJabsonceto employes. She thought he wanted to got rid of employes holding over from Danton's administration.

Several testified to the same purport. This witness tostined that eho had seen Dorsott's ohUdron abuse The roason she did not Inform on him was that he told her he did not want any tale bearers. This young woman's motaor, who Is still an attendant In one of the wards, testified that Dr. Dorsett discharged her daughter because she went with young men against the rules. The rule was that they should act go together except in the parlors.

She sold her daughter was not the only young woman-out there who went with tho young men. They went together in the evening after dark. The doctor discharged some of the younK women for that, bat didn't discharge others for the same offense. He didn't discharge tho young men at all for that kind of amusement--only the females. Tho young man whom her daughter was charged with going with, aho saia, was allowed to get drunk and was cot discharged, All of the soveral females who testified had a grievance-against Dorsett in most overy case, it being tho retasal to givo them Joavo permits.

They testlaed tnat he refused them ronghly, and two or three that latterly hio manner was rougher than when ho first came. Thp beard, it seems, had considered already the troubles between Dorsett and the attendants about granting thorn permits to leave, and the members of the board to-day seemed interested onlv or mostly In the cfiargo of prevarication about the of Bennett and Mucwoll. Dr. Smoot said that Dorsetthad asked tho board to allow Maxwell to hold over for a while, and by Inference it is presumed that ho did not ask tho board to appoint or hold over Dr. Bennett, both being Denton's assistants.

To make the charge of prevarioa Hon complete, It will be necessary to put tho governor and probably tho members of the board on'the stand, which will doubt less be attempted to-morrow. Tho testimony of tho attendants 'most damaging to Dorsett Is to the effect that his rouge manner with them and patients has an unfavorable influence, and wag detrimental to the administration of the Institution. 'Only two sworo positively to this. Most of them toBtitlud that his refusal to give permits and tho. fear of diemls sal created a want of confidence In him, and that this want o( confidence was Injurious to the institution.

It was attempted to prova that tbore was arnlo by which permits were granted as a matter ot rlcbt fortnightly, but it seems tbe written rule on tho subject places ttie power of granting or refusing with the superintendent, and without any check upon A patient hearing of tie convince a dispassionate, Doraett should get o.t twonty-flvo of his ninety em- the board should get rid of 1 is. tO'flay's budfiot of com- i lust him, co be no happy official ere until the head of it, or nu- members of it, are 1 Or.o of the females was notified sworn that nothing she said ilit, would effoct tbe tenure her und that she might and the whole truth, hurt or help ,1 She replied, "You may Tin I may stay tore, but I it." alter OYldeaco is la, wlU I'tak'a'tiie stand blmsolf, and before tho close livfly time Is expected. Thore la likolj- to ho BOTOfl exposures on the practices of tbe iiwUnrsues und reasons for discharges tha' tho unpleasant relations ol tho official family. Conasel, reporters and the board had dinner to-day at tho asylum with tbo super- Intenuent, which. If it be a sample of tbe Btato dinners given at the asylums, explains why tte governor don't' go any more.

It was good enough for hungry reporters, but the members of tho board, especially the preachers on it, were growling atfout the rough and homely fare--no chicken-pie, no Ice cream, no wiue. It was beef, bouus and cornbread. FATAL MOLESTATION. Ono of a Party of Rioters Killed In Attempt- ing'to Mole" an Offloor Whilo Maklns an Arrest. September Late last night 'tjfeto a large number of tiemakora beoamo intoxicated at Mariana and raised a disturbance In town by cursing and dls charging, pistols.

NIneoitherlotorsare now in jail awaiting the action ot the court. Had It not been for the prompt and determined action of the 'marshal there would have been a general riot and considerable bloodshed.
