A chimney caught fire the -same day in the same locality, which set people spinning about prctfy lively for a few minutes. Leo Buokex. Charley Woods, aolored man, who has been porter in the Raymond House bar-room for a few weeks past, broke his log below tho knee, Tuesday night. He went to step o3 the sidewalk into the gutter, near Mr. Brass's feed store, and by some mis- 8vep his leg was broken.

District Court. This term of the District Court promises to bo a full seven weeks' session. So far, tho grand Jury has returned ono hundred and six indictments for felony and murder. There are three cases of murder and one of rape to bo tried tbis term. Nothing has been heard, that wo can learn.

of tho parties in charge of the colored man ar rested in this city for tho outrage perpetrated near San Antonio, tinco their departure with tho prisoner. It was generally conjectured that the prisoner would "get away" while en routs to the Iicxar jail. Emancipation Day. The colored people of this city, county and adjacent counties are preparing to haVo a celebration on the nineteenth of this month in this city. They will have a basket dinner, music, and it is expected that the attendance will be the largest of the kind that has ever taken place in Western Texas.

Mrvtts cf t. a I 1 -T. r-ic! V. 1 is r-t) Te cr Making It. War.dcrbg about the city the other d.ir this b-rcal strsr-lcd into the Aur.ia ice establishment, where he formed the acquaintance of 2Ir.rLccn Foutrtl, who has lad an experience cf eight years in J.c manufacture cf ice, and who kindly ur-nLhed Lira' information in regard to the process of its manufacture.

The process coniLsts ia heating a quantity of amonia, say twenty-five gallons, to a certain degree suiUcicnt to cause it to evaporate, and the gas thus formed i3 condensed ia passing through the pipes of a large vessel called the condenser, and then it Is forced to the freezing box, where it again evaporates by taking the caloric of the water contained in said box. This absorption so lowers the bath in the freezer that it causes the fresh water contained in the moulds to become ice. The liquified gas, after passing through the freezer, is pumped back into the amonia boiler, to undergo again the same pro- ccw. The machine of the above company pos sesses the capacity of manufacturing but twelve hundred pounds of ice every twenty- four hours, while it is estimated that Austin alone, to say nothing of the wants of the country and adjacent towns, requires from four to five thousand, pounds daily. Mr.

Foutrel thinks that with a machine of sufll- cient capacity to -supply that amount, the price of ice could be so reduced that the natural article could not come in competition with the manufactured ice. The Federal Court. The United States grand jury were discharged Friday, after sitting nine days and returning thirty-five bill3 of indictment, among which wa3 one capital case and scleral felony cases. We learn that the business of the circuit court was rapidly dispatched by Judges Eradley and Duval, and that the term will be an unusually short one. The officers of the court have been perfectly inundated with applicants foe seats on the Junes, there being a swarm of men about the court building ever since the session convened.

After the empanneling of the grand jury and petit jury No. 1, the competition became greater than ever for scat3 on petit jury No. 2, the final empanneling of which brought joy to but twelve souls and grief to at least a hun dred. But of all the pale and elongated faces that we have ever seen were those of the grand jury and petit jury No. 2 when the judge discharged the same last Friday.

It occurs to us that it ia not a cry paying lTusiness for men to come from a great distance to get a place on a jury for a couple of days, or as many weeks, at three dollars a day, especially when four-fifths of all that come are doomed to disappointment; and if citi" zens of Travis county would be a little backward in rushing forward for positions of this kind, they would not occupy such unenviable positions in the public eye. One of our citizens, of truly scientific attainments, has discovered an immense deposit of protoxide of hydrogen in the bed of the Colorado river, a few miles above our city. We congratulate him on this brilliant success. This discovery has caused quite an excitement among our scientific men, and especially the medical fraternity, among whom there is much rejoicing because of the prospect of its cheapening tho article, thus enabling them to use it more freely in their practice. What with this last discovery, the rapid approach of the International Railroad, and the prospc-ct of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad moving hitherward with rapid strides, truly tho march of Austin will bo onward.

In two years time we predict a population of twenty thousand for our healthful and picturesque capital. We understand that a company is being fotmed among our home capitalists to work this newly discovered deposit, and put it at once on the market Its value is believed by men of science to be immense. In Arabia and Africa it has frequently been valued at its weight in coined gold. We have been oftca called upon, as faith ful chroniclers, to narrate offensive instances of injustice, illiberality and lack of the proper spirit of accommodation on the part of railroad officials toward the victimized traveling public, that it is with feelings of unmingled delight and heartiest cheer, wo narrate the exemplary fact that the trains on our railroad stop at the Brazos to permit the passengers to gather their fill of ripe blackerriea, which are now in their luscious and sugary prime. Here is an example for all railroads to imitate.

The fact is that since the express trains have been taken off, it now requires the whole of a long sum mcr's day to travel from Austin to Hempstead on "running time," and the gathering of blackberries comes in very well to relieve tho intolerable and protracted tedium. When Morgan comes along with his road from Indianola next year, the Central will probably so far im prove its time-table as to abolish the social institution of blackberry gatherings. Attention is called to the law card of Pierson Rutherford, of Hamilton, Hamilton county, Texas. Our acquaintance with both tho gentlemen composing this firm authorizes us to say that business intrusted to them will be promptly and faithfully attended to. The section in which they have commenced to do business is one of the finest in Texas.

It is rapidly filling up ith a stirring population and abounds with some of the finest agricultural and mineral lands in the State. Mr. Rutherford has been raised in Austin and stands well here. Our acquaintance with Mr. Tier-son is limited, but we have met him several times and been impressed with him as a very worthy gentleman and a man well fitted for hla profession.

We wish the young gentlemen much success and know that they will merit it. Fire at the Freight Depot. A large pile of cedar ties strewn along the railroad track at. the freight depot caught fire Wednesday morning from pparks of a passing engine, and about $1000 to 2tXX) damage was done before the flames could be checked. Owing to the scarcity of water, tho firemen worked under great disadvantage, and only by the greatest efforts did they prevent the burning of adjacent buildings.

If those cisterns which we mentioned Wednesday were to be builtjby the city for that locality bad been ia readiness, the loss would probably have been much less. Hereafter we intend to have the fires occur later in the day, so that the whole city cannot find out all about them before the publication hour cf the Statesman. Prisoners. Thirteen men belonging to Cupt. Waller's frontier company have arrived ia Austia from Comanche, having ia charge seven prisoners, charged with cattle-stealirg.

The prisoners are from Comanche and PeWitt counties, and are to be tamed over to the Sate authorities. Some of them are suppt.cd to belo-rg to the Hardla-Taylor pisg of tlJetts. The rangers' report that there seems to be a fystrrrutL-ei p'aa or-irmled for stealing cattle ca a gigantic scale, and thr.t recently and Taylor were overhauled while f-i tor Karfias with a ve cf cr.tt'j. a letcf bl-mklill tf cf fr cr, rutl.tr, c-rp.

The paper is large and neatly printed, and will be furuLhcd in wrappers at tea cents a copy three for twenty five cents.

A House Roblxr Arrested. Several weeks ago the house of Dr. W. T. Home, living in the southern part of the city, was entered at night, the robber taking from the Doctor's pocket a few dollars in money and a pocket case of surgical instruments, and making good Lis escape.

On Sunday the Poctor received a dispatch from Bryan, announcing that a negro had been arrested there for stealing, and that a case of instruments were found in his possession bearing his initials. The Poctor says they belong to him, and ha3 sent a dispatch to that eilecL This, then, is the second Austin thief that has come to grief, and it is to be hoped that still more of them will yet get their dues. Caitses decided in the Supreme Court, June 13, 1874: Wise v. The State; appeal from Harris; affirmed. Townsend v.

A dispatch of the tenth instant, from President Pierce to the San Antonio Express, states that the report about work having been stopped on the above road ia incorrect; that work is now progressing vigorously, and that it will be completed to the San Marco3 river by the first of August This will be good news to the people of Western Texas generally, and those of Hays county especially.

Another year, and we firmly believe that Austin will be accessible by two and perhaps three railroads. With the Central, Morgan's Road from Indianola, and the International, we can get along very comfortably for years. The Octrageb Reported Hung. A colored man who came to Austin Wednesday night reports that when he was riding along the road in the vicinity of Onion creek, his horse suddenly shied, and that on looking to discover the cause, he saw a man suspended from a limb of a tree a short distance from the road, which, on examination proved to be a colored man, and, as he supposed, the party arrested in this city charged with that terrible offense perpetrated near San Antonio. There is no reliable news about the matter, and the above report may be without foundation.

A Beautiful Flag. Mr. N. J. Alexander, of the drug firm of Alexander Son, has shown us a beautiful flag of banner-silk, with gold fringe and tassels.

1 The flag was made in New York, and cost Mr. Alexander $35. It is intended for the Union Sunday School having the greatest increase of scholars since the first of last January. The public will await with some degree of impatience to see whether the Methodist, the or the First Presbyterian Church Sunday School gets this beautiful banner, which bears the Bible quotations of "I love them that love me," and "Seek and ye shall find." A Former. Postmaster Hung.

Wo have been shown a private letter by Mr. Callahan, mail agent, stating that Jo. G. Hardin, for merly poatmnator Oocoonchc, Traa hung recently, by unknown parties, near tho town of Comanche. Hardin was suspected of being an accomplice of his brother, John Wesley nardin, who was the leader of a gan? of np1 torious murderers and robbers who had been the terror of that section of country for some time past the last horrible outrage of the gang being the cold-blooded murder in the town of Comanche, last month, of Charles Webb, deputy sheriff of Brown county.

District Court. Several convictions have been made in the district court the past week, and the parties sentenced. Ira J. Hill has been convicted of burglary, and sentenced to three years in the penitentiary Phil. Pavis, horse thief, ten years John Pierce, theft, ten years.

Three more are in jail asking to enter pleas of guilty for felony, charged with swindling, theft of cattle, and theft from a house. The pleas were to bo entertained, but it was too late to impanel a jury after hearing the case of Hopkin's heirs v. Morrill Pwahf Mules. At Miller's, stable can be seen a pair of dwarf mules brought here from Zacatecas, Mexico, by Mr. Wash.

Tong. They are little novelties, smaller than Charley Noyes's circus mules, being but three feet high. They have regular rhinosccros nosei, crooked and ill-shaped, and their upper teeth are snaggy and project beyond their under teeth, giving them the appearance of naughty children making faces at their grandmas. The Lunatic Asylum. The work at the Lunatic Asylum, a9 we learn from Col Cook, is steadily progressing, and perhaps thcra are but few persons in the city or State who are apprised of the proportions of the improvements going on there.

The ell now being added to the Lunntic Asylum building is one hundred by forty feet, and is to be three stories high, and built ia a very substantial manner. The first story of the building Is already up, and the job is to be completed during the coming falL Mr. Graneerbt is about to begin the completion of his brick house on the corner northwest from the Catholic Church. For several months has been standing in a state of partial completion, but now work ia to be commenced oa it again without delay. In the fall Mr.

G. will build a fine front to it twenty-two by forty feet, two 6tories high. The building will have about fourteen good rooms, and will bo suitable for a Crst-clas3 boarding house. Ucno. Tho driver of the st3go that arrived Thursday night from San Antonio, reports that a jnegro was found hung at York creek, near stage stand on the Saa Axitonio road, and about forty miles from this city.

Our steam presses are of the most approved style, and capable of working o2 an immense amount of printing at short notice. We can execute plain and ornamental printing, from a poster to a "gutter snipe." "We are prepared to do book and pamphlet work, railroad work, briefs, bill heads, and, in fact, all kinds of printing in the most approved style, at prices to suit the times.

A thief at tempted to enter the residence of Mr.

Mo-Geary, in the northern part of. the city, Monday night, about 13 o'clock. Mr. McGeary heard him on the gallery, and when he inquired the second time as to what the intruder wanted, he received the reply: "'I am looking for a place to stay all night" Mr. Thief accepted an invitation to leave without taking time to express his gratitude for the invitation.

The ladies, in the house were very much excited, and requested Mr. McGeary not to use his shot gun, which he keeps in trim, as others ought to do, for such visitors. We are sure our readers will thank us for calling their attention to the very handsome advertisement of the Excelsior 3Ianufacturing Company of St Louis, as it would be useless for us to try to say anything in favor of the great Charter Oak Cooking Stove. The very word suggests the thought of a well cooked meal, followed by easy digestion, vigorous health, with a desire to have plenty of real work, to say nothing of the comfort of a happy, contented household.

COMMUNICATED. Oar County Jail Its Horrible Condition Thirty Prisoners In one Small Itoom.

Editors Democratic Statesman In the name of God and. humanity, I ask for permission through your columns to call the attention of our "citizens to the awful condition of the county' jail. I know this subject has often been spoken ol in your columns; but it cannot be alluded to too often, until some change is made. While measures for a new jail are being discussed, some present relief is greatly needed. For nearly a year I have held divine service in the jail once a njonth for the benefit of the prisoners, and can speak from very unpleasant personal experience of its inside accommodations.

Tho condition of the inmates is bad enough in cool weather, but in summer it is simply intolerable, and the wonder is that any survive imprisonment' Last Sabbath there were thirty human beings in that small room, fourteen or fifteen feet square. These, were mostly naked, and the perspiration ran down them in streams on account of the heat. The air is so foul and dense that it may almost be cut with a khifef, and the room, is so dark that a lamp is necessary in order to see to read. I might still further shock your readers by going on to give a true description, of all the horrors of the place, but I forbear. The officers in charge seem kind and considerate, and feel deeply the condition of affairs, but are powerless to effect a remedy.

I understand that several prisoners have recently plead order to be transferred to the State Prison. If any one wishes to 6ee a place which in wretchedness rivals the uPlack Uole'V of Calcutta, let them go and look for themselves. Will not our city and county be visited by the judgments of Almighty God, jf these things are permitted longer to go unremedied? Where is our boasted Christian civilization, if right here among us, we allow such outrages to exist? Respectfully yours, Edward B. -Wright, Pastor Presbyterian Church. Austin, July Id, 1874.

The House west to the Speaker's tabic and dL-poscd of sach business as was not expected.

Washington, June 10. The House today passed Butler's substitute for the Geneva award bill by a vote of 113 to 101. The provisions of the substitute bill are substantially, that the amount of the awards shall be distributed first to those who suffered direct losses in the capture or destruction of vessels by Confederate cruisers second, to remunerate ship owners for the war premiums which they were compelled to pay, even where they suffered no direct loss; and, third, to insurance companies whose loss exceeded their premiums. The point at issue was whether the insurance companies generally should be paid for all their losses, or whether any allowance should be made for war premiums. The war premium men, under the lead of Butler of Massachusetts, triumphed, and the insurance were defeated.

Washington, June 13. Judge Harris called on the President this morning to protest in the name of the people against military interference in Virginia and to assure him that as good order prevailed in Petersburg as any city of the United States.

Judge Harris says no troops will be sent to Petersburg. "Attorney General's Office To United States Marshal, Petersburg You are instructed to take the necessary step3 to protect the property of the United States from and the officers of the government in Petersburg, from any violent interference in the performance cf their official duty, and to that end, if you think proper, you may summon a posse of the citizens to aid you, but if these men are found inadequate, you will be furnished, upon a call by you upon me, with troops from Portress Monroe.

Tho speaker was frequently interrupted by the Right and warmly applaudsd by tht Left. Paris, June 16.

M. Lamboret de St Croix, supported by all the members of tho Right Centre, submitted a bill providing mat Aicjiahon powers bo confined, with the title of President of the Republic; that a second Chamber bo organized; that the right to dissolve both chambers be con ferred on McMahon and that his successor be appointed by the two chambers in convention. This bill was referred to a committee of thirty, together with that of the Left Centre. Tho exact result of the sitting is that the committee of thirty now have received an imperative mandate forcing them to promptly organize either the scptenate, without proclaiming the Republic or Constitution, or declare for a definite Republic under the Presidency of McMahon. It ia probable that the commission will organize a Beptenate, and the assembly will ratify its decision, otherwise tho mnjority hitherto with the government will shift to the Lett, which, in all probability, would cause McMahon to resign.

It is not unlikely that in consequence of yesterday's proceedings some of tha ministers will resign, but there will bo no absolute ministerial crisis. TRie Tlarkeu. Liverpool, June 18 Noon. Cotton dull but easier; uplands 8d; Orleans SctS1 d. Livertool, June 1( 3 p.
