John Edgar, tax collector of Pecos, and J. H. Fox, of Refugio counties, made their annual settlement with the comptroller yesterday. The treasury received 35,000 yesterday, principally revenue. By advice of the attorney general the comptroller jesterday returned $10,000 of Kuox county Jail bonds to have a clerical error as to date correoted.

Some person who signa himself "Merchant," writes from Dallas to the gOT-ernor, enclosing a portion of the recent Cnited States supreme court decision on the drummers' license question, and impudently asks "why do you tax your own people, and let outsiders go free?" It would seem from this that Dallas can boast a case of crank along with her other possessions. THE COURTS. CIHTBICT COCKT. State vs. Will Robinson, guilty of simple assault and fined $25 and costs.

The governor acted yesterday on a petition for the relief in th east of B. Moore, convicted ia this county of aggravated assault and sentenced to pay $250 and be imprisoned for ninety days. Th petition set forth that Moor i a farmer, has a wife and family to sapport, is a bard working man of good character, who ha been a sufferer from th drouth, and if imprisoned hi family will suffer. The costs in tha case above th fine, amount to .133 59. The petition ia signed by Frank Brown, county clerk; A.

Zampelman N. G. Shelly, John Hancock, W. C.

He therefor remitted $Jisj of the fine, and the punishment of imprisonment. A charter was filed with the secretary of state for the Texas Timber company of Warren, Tyler county. Capital stock, iiM.OOO. Incorporators: 8. G.

Gillespie, John U. Kirby and A. Young. Superintendent Cooper has had all the school laws in force carefully collated, annotated, indexed and printed in a neat pamphlet for distribution. It is the first time th school laws have been printed in this form, and will be of great covenience.

The state printing board had a meeting yesterday to consider a small matter of a bill for th paper cn which the report of the superintendent of education was printed. The paper is larger than that covered by the contract and cost proportionately more. It was settled by charging the extra cost to the appropriation for the edtcational department. The board of education held a meeting yesterday morning to fill vacancies in the faculty of Sam Houston Normal institute. Superintendent 'W.

M. Coleman, of the Helton a graduate of the institute, and also, of Washington and Le university, was chosen to fill the chair of natural science in place of Prof. I. R. Dean, resigned.

Miss Lola Sexton, of Colorado City, now at the Nashville Normal school, was elected instructor of vocal music and calisthenics in place of Miss Abercrombie, resigned.

The school law has been famished to Tee City Council Meet Once More. A Prolonged Session Devoted ChieSy to Unprofitable Discussion. There Wer teittlMt member of tht city eooneil at IM regular meeting last night, and sixteen of tnem anada perb. ue gentleman eord eleven fehe4 daring tr viiiig, wail rver.l got op aa higa a five, sis. aevea and tight Mr.

Townn4 tht lone fiwr-min'' of tat company and eejy the happy uistine-tioa of being th only member who did not cost th eity ga b7 consumption of time ia the discussion cf questions npoa which opinion coold not ba changed. Th mayor called tba eounril to order I 8.40 o'clock, and Clerk Morris called th roll, which showed tba following aldermen ia attendance Alexander, Anderson, Brush, t'aldweli, Campbell, Fisher, Graham, Jones. Piatt, Phillip. Scbober, Townsend, Walker, Warr.o, Wellmer and Wortham. Several petitione and officer' report wara read and referred, and undry reporta from eonxnittava were sent to the clerk' dk, bot not on of them received action.

In tba wrangle that euaaed they were badly lost that they did not come to tba anrfaea again. Tha mayor an-Bounced that ba had been re-quested by a enmbrr of tha aldermen to enforce tha rule, bat it waa quit clear that to do it last night waa a tak. Wnan a member of tha Austin city eoorcil want to talk, talk ba i going to, and aoeh a small matter a "a question before the house" cote no figure in tha ease. Tha committee on streets, flaanca, fire, light, aanitation and tha river dam ail bad report, bat the finance report on the school tax ordinance waa tha only on that received action, except a report on tha aanitary condition of tha Tenth ward, which waa adopted. The mayor aabinitted a message relating to tha payment of tha first not die on tha Greenwood cemetery ground.

The message nrged action by tha council, and the patriot worried for an boor and a half to see what could ba dune. Speechee were made by. Aldermen Fisher, Anderson, Caldwell, Ilatt, Walker, Wort ham, Coin-mings and Phillips. It teemed to be an acknowledged fact that something had to ba done, bat what, wa tha stambing block in tha way. It wa suggested that if the map had he made lot should be old and the proceed applied to tha note.

Mr. McFall produced hit palt, which bowed tha avenue to be only thirty feet wide, and tha cross street only twenty. 1 bi addtd more con fusion to tha situation. Aldtrman Caroming wanted to refer the matter back to the cemetery committee; Alderman Caldwell thought street thirty and twenty feet wide amply sufficient, and wanted to approve the plat, record it and proceed to selL Alderman Brash, how-aver, succeeded after a good deal of trou ble, and, with tha assistance of Measr. Fisher, Wortham, Graham aud other, in getting an amendment requiring a new plat, making the main drive sixty feet wide and the cros drive thirty feet, and instructing tha city engineer to proceed at once to replat and map withoat deity.

In this condition the matter rest, and it i stated that in about a week, lota in the new home of the dead will be ready for ale. Tha next subject broagbt up was the school tax ordinance. It wa now nearly 11 o'clock, and it tu i lamly to aen that there was music ahead. The report of the finance committee favored 33 cent on tha $100 a the tax, and this Alderman Caldwell moved to amend by making it twenty five cents. Alderman Wortbam moved to lay the amendment on the table, and it was carried by a vote of 11 to 6.

Mr. Caldwell then moved its reference to a special committee of five, Mr. Wortham moved to increase to twenty. The mayor ruled the amendment oat of order, and r. Wortham then changed his figure to nineteen, in sisting that any reference waa merely for dilatory purpose.

At this time, there were four members on the floor at the same moment clamoring for recognition. Mr. Walker finally gnhied the mayor's attention and proceeded to make an earnest speech in favor of the schools. He pointed cat the necessity for additional school houses, and better facilities for instructing the children. lie refered to some of the houses now in use, and showed the strong necessity for better accommodations.

Mr. Phillips followed in a clear and well pat argument on the same side of the question. Mr. Graham spoke briefly and pointedly in favor of the schools, and the necessity for the increase of the tax if a competent system of poblio education was expected. Mr.

I'latt opened the ball for the opposition, charging extravagance In the expenditure of the funds and extending a heart foil of sympathy to the poor taxpayers. Mr. Caldwell uermonized on the same side of the question. He was undoubtedly loaded for the subject, and he waded in and lashed the extravagance of his brother members roundly for trying to take bread out of poor children's mouths to build fine school houses. Ha even hinted that if this tax was levied there would be no children to attend school in the fine buildings; they would all be dead, starved to death.

There was considerable farther discussion, and some right lively sharp-shooting, bat finally the previous question was called on a motion to suspend the rales, and further wind was promptly shot off. The motion to suspend was lost by a lack of the requite two-thirds majority. Those who voted to suspend were, Alexander, Anderson, Brush, Campbell, Fisher, Gra by remaining longer so, wbea another motion to adjourt, came wy, nw mayor, iihAnl w.it in ir ti tf a tail ftjf dlTukkB- rlared it carried, and at just fiva minata befor 12 cjc toe meeting If think, tha nmnml sr. n't vorth atu-ndiuz. let him ba on band aext time, and hall wad through mad befur will mm another refreshing eason of fan.

Arrested for Horse Stealing. Officer Gibson Kinnerly yesterday arrested a man, who gave hi name first as Robert Brown, and then as J. T.Brown, and a boy named Joe Hemphill, alias Wm. Kadcliff, on a charge of horse theft. They were caught on I'ecaa street, where they bad just sold two horses, oue for $13 to Mr.

Campbell, and one to Taylor Bnboock for 25. When first taken in they played the bluff game, bat upon being separated and cioely questioned they began to contradict themselves, and, in this way, got so muddled that finally they said the game was up. The boy was tha first to squeal, by telling 'hat he lived near Fredericksburg.while Brown, who he claims as a cousin, live in Blanco county. said they met in Kimball county, and Brown arranged with him to come to Austin with some horses. He intimated that th horses might not be all right.

When Brown was tackled, he mixed himself up badly, and finally gave it up and admitted that the animals, five in number, were stolen from a man named Schneider and from John Joy, who live on Johnson's Fork of tha Llano river in Kimball county. The men will be held to await the arrival of officers. Club Shoot. The Capitol Rifle club had another shoot oat at the range Sunday afternoon. Appended ar the scores.

Mr. Harrell had been sitting np with his brother who waa sick, and did not retire until after three o'clock, when he fell into a heavy slumber. There waa a fine pistol ia the room, and also a lot of jewelry, including a gold watch and chain and another diamond ring, the latter lying within easy reach of his own valuables nipped, but these were untouched. Mr. Harrell thicks the intruder must have been frightened by some movement of himself or brother in their sleep.

Mr. Belcher, wha occupied an ad joining room, was also visited, bat lost nothing except his pocket knife. A room on the ground floor was entered, bot noth ing was taken from it. new toy i a way ahead of a gold mine or a government contract. Tha littl town of Jackson, with 10,000 population, has just cobscribed $33,000 cash, and donated five acres of land toward securing a $100,000 cotton factory.

Like enterprise ia Austin would be calculated to bring lik fraita of prosperity. A very heavy rain fell Sunday afternoon, in three-quarters of an hoar, cans lug torrents of water to rash along the gutters toward th river. For the short while it lasted it was a regular rasher, and cauie down with a fore exceeding that of either of it two predecessors. It is learned that good snowers also fell throughout the county. For the past week, notwithstanding the rash, Lewis A Peacock, the pushing shoe men, have found time to have their store painted outside and in, and otherwise pot in trim for the summer trade.

New awnings and signs have been pat ap, and the entire store haa been remodeled and pot in shape from one end to the other, and ia now one of the neatest in the city, "Children' Day." The celebration of "Children's Day" at the Tenth street M. E. Church, south Sunday, was attended by a large crowd. The Sunday school was out iu force and eager interest was manifested by the little folks. The service of song and responsive readings was participated in by the whole school led by the superintendent, D.

W. Doom. Miss Rosa Collet recited, "The Little Pilgrim," aad Mis Lizzie Wilkr read, "Let your Light Shine," both beautiful and touching poems. A abort talk by the superintendent followed by the pastor, concluded the propramme, which was followed by the collection for the help ot the Sunday schools. Mrs.

Lane presided at the organ. At the close of the service the children were made glad by the announcement of a picnic for the next Saturday at Fairwiew park. Body Recovered. The body of James Dsn ton was recovered from the river about 9 o'clock Sunday morning. It was found by a Mexican named Juarez, just opposite the Daats place, and was taken to the city hospital.

It was very ranch swollen and decomposed, and for that reason it was not deemed advisable to take it home. Justice Calhoun held the inquest, at which the proof showed that the brave lad had jumped into tha river to rescue his brother, and in his hsjroio efforts lost his own life. The verdict of the jury was in accordance with the facts. Licensed to Wed. The following licenses to commit matrimony were issued last week: Henry LaGalla and Hilma Carlson.
