Suicide.
Intelligence was received
hereyesterday morning to the
effect that Mr. E. Scheip for-
merly of this city and whcrche
married his mother-in-law still
residing here and well known
to many of our citizens had
committed suicide at Hemp-
stead on- Thursday night by
cutting his throat. He arrived
at Hempstead on the up train
in company with Messrs.
Wahlstabiand Oucry Galves-
ton drummers he having been
to Galveston to effect a settle
mentwith his creditors. The
two gentlemen could not find
him when they got on the train
supposing he had gone to a
beer house. Friday morning
Scheip's body was found be-
hind the Sloan House at Hemp
.stead with his throat cut from
ear to ear. In his pockets were
receipts from Galveston houses
for $1200 which he had paid
the day previous. Mr. Scheip
had forseveral years been en
gaged in business at Giddings
and was one of the molt exten-
sive business men ef the town
but like many others had become
financially embarrassed. His
trip to Galveston was for the
purpose of effecting a settle-
ment with his creditors; how
successful he had been does
not appear. He was a very
popular man with the people of
his town and when the news of
his untimely death was report-
ed there the business houses
all closed out of respect to his
memory. Friends ol deceased
wentdown on the train yester
day evening for the purpose of
carrying his remains home. He
was thirty-three years of age
and leaves a wife and family to
mourn his loss. An inquest
was held but at the time of
going to press the result was
not learned.
Cotton Statement.
The Banner is indebted to
Mr. Wm. Thompson for- the
following statement of the re-
ceipts and shipments of cotton
at Brenham for the week end-
ing Jan. 7 1882:

The Santa Fe railroad has
put on Sunday passenger trains
that run through fromGalveston
to Fort Worth. The up train
arrives about noon and the
down train at 4142 p. m. Sun-
day Morning's Galveston News
reaches here on this train and
its many readers hereabouts are
well pleased with the change.
By next Sunday arrangements
will be perfected to send off
and receive mail matter at our
post-office. The Santa Fe rail-
way is leaving nothing undone
to popularize itself with the
traveling public; reduced lares
and ample passenger accomo-
dations will make it the favorite
road in Texas.
Took a Walk. A fewdays
ago Capt. Clay of Indepen-
dence hired the county con-
victs five of whom were in jail.
As the Captain intended work-
ing them on his plantation
without a guard he bought each
prisoner a coat and blanket
and give each one a drink of
whiskey and told them to re-
port at his plantation for duty
as farnr hands. Four of them
viz: Nelson Parker Tom Rip-
jsetoe. Josh Love and John Wil
liams all colored grossly be
trayed the Captain's confidence
and took a walk. So far as he
knows they are walking yet.
The Daily Independent made
its first appearance yesterday
J. L. Watson & Co. publishers.
It is a six column paper with
an abundance of reading matter
and a fair advertising patrcnagc.
It says there is room in Bren-
ham for two daily papers. The
Banner will not .throw any
stumbling .blocks in its way. We
welcome it .into the calm and
placid sea of journalism and
wish it a pleasant voyage.
Judging from the complaints
that reach us of-the almost im-
passible condition of the county
roads we are inclined to be-
lieve that many of the road

Thief Shot.
On last Sunday morning a
gentleman went to Mr. Wal
lace's store in the Gay Hill
neighborhood for the purpose
of getting some things fcr a
funeral. While Mr. Wallace
was in the store three negroes
came in and one asked . for a
pipe ; while Mr. W. was getting
the pipe a negro named Frank
Anderson reached over the
counter and took from the
drawer a small quantity of mon
ey and was in the act of getting
off with it when Mr. W. detect-
ed him and ordered him to put
the money dow.i on the coun-
ter ; instead of doing so Frank
"made a break for the back door
failing to get out there he
rushed to the front door but
.Mr. Wallace quickly secured it
at the same time snapping his
pistol at him. However after
several attempts Frank escaped
from the store and was making
off with the money when Mr.
Wallace fired upon him with a
revolver the ball taking effect
in the fleshy part of the thigh
and bringing the thief to a halt
which enabled Mr. Wallace to
recover his money.
Mr. Wallace and Frank An-
derson were bQth. arrested and
had a preliminary hearing be-
fore Justice Campbell on Mon-
day. After a full hearing of
the case Mr. Wallace was re-
quired to give a bond for 300
which was furnished at once;
Frank Anderson was held in
the sum of 150 failing to gitre
which he was ordered to jail
and will arrive to-day in charge
of Constable Barton where he
will await the action of the next
grand jury.
Mr. Wallace's store was
robbed several weeks ago; and
he suspects Anderson of being
the man who did it.
Why Mr. Wallace was placed
under bond -seems to be a mys-
tery as the law certainly allows
a man to protect himself from
the inroads of robbers.'

The-Banner is indebted to
Mr. Ino. W. Sayle's now in the
Gunnison country for a copy of
the Elk Mountain Pilot pub-
lished December 29th at Irwin
(Ruby Camp) Gunnison county
Colorado containing a general
write-up of the mines in the
vicininty of Irwin; the following
reference to the General Sayles
mfne may prove of interest to
some of Mr. Jon. Sayles' 'many
friends in these "diggins :"
The general Sayles situated
in Silver basin has an So foot
shaft well timbered and is now
being sunk at the rate of a foot
a day. When the depth of 160
feet is rea'ched a drift will be
run each way on the vein. The
vein is 5 feet between wall
rocks showing a three foot
crevice which will run S40 in

Convicts Let. On Monday
County Judge McAdoo by vir-
tue' of the law made a contract
with Capt. Thomas C. Clay of
Independence hiring him all
county convicts for one year at
the rate of $7 per month each ;
he takes all convicts convicted
in the several courts the same
to be immdiately turned over
to him. Capt. C. has several
plantations and will no doubt
see that county convicts do not
lffer for want of employment.

nt will result in a material
aving to the county in the

The Graball Harder.
The body of Jordan Thomp-
son colored was found near
Graball last Sunday with the
head cut off. Jack Lewis Ad-
am Felder Andrew Watts and
Lizzie wife of the murdered
man were at once arrested and
G. W. Brooks justice of the
peace and A. D. Gee consta-
ble were sent lor to hold an in-
quest and upon their arrival at
Graball Jake Lewis and Adam
Felder were turned over to con-
stable Gee and soon afterward
Andrew Watts and Lizzie
Thompson were delivered to
him ; he held them at Grabhll
till Monday when they were all
taken to Washington by deputy
sheriff Spencer and posse. The
jury of inqtlest at Uraball re-
turned a verdict that deceased
was murdered by the three
men arrested. A preliminary
examination was held at Wash-
ington by Justice Brooks. The
complaint was read to the pris-
oners by the justice and all of
them plead not guilty except
Jake Lewis who plead guilty
notwithstanding the justice cau-
tioned him. Jake said that he
killed Thompson and did not
want others to suffer for his act.
After hearing all the testimony
and there being no evidence
against the other parties the
justice released them holding
Jake Lewis without bail. The
prisoner was placed in charge
of constable Gee.-who on-ac
count of high water was com-
pelled to bring his prisoner
round by rail arriving here on
the Central Tuesday night and
turning his prisoner over to the
sheriff at the county jail. Con
stable Gee reports that while he
was asleep at his home in Wash
ington Monday niJit three
masked men attempted to res-
cue the prisoner from the guard
but fortunately Mr. Gee was
notified in time to prevent it.
The guard think that the par-
ties who attempted the rescue
were negroes. During the trial
the excitement was very high
and guards had to be placed at
the doors of the courthouse by
the constable to keep the crowd
back. Jack claims that he killed
Thompson because he threaten-
ed his life ; no proof of this was
elicited at the trial. The kill-
ing was done with a club and
the subsequent decapitation
with an axe.

Railroad Rumors.
The Banner learns from a
gentleman who came down on
the Santa Fe road Tuesday
evening that a'surveying corps
came down the road and got
off at the Quarry 12 miles
above here. It was not learned
what their intentions were but
the supposition is that a survey
will be made in the direction oi
Navasota at which point chief
engineer Temple was a fewdays
ago. The Navasota Tablet of
last week says that negotia-
tions are or were pending for
the purchase of the Central
and Montgomery road by the
Santa Fe but whether or not
the purchase had been con-
summated could not be ascer-
tained as railroad men all be-
long to the order of know
nothings. Col. Grcsham at-
torney for the Santa Fe road
was in Navasota and told a
Tablet reporter that "there is
no doubt of the two roads work-
ing together in harmony" the
Central and Montgomery being
the road referred to. Col. G.
stated further that it had al-
ready been decided to build a
branch road from some point
sot yet designated on the main
line of the Santa Fe to Nava-
sota provided that the right of
way and depot grounds were
donated by the citizens ol
Navasota to the company. Op-
erations on the proposed line
are to begin at once if the ex-
pected aid was forth coming.
and after conferring with a num-
ber of leading Navasotians he
felt assured that they would
willingly comply with the de-
mands of the company. Re-
ferring to the extension of the
Central and Montgomery in a
southeasterly direction he said
that was a subject for future
consideration. The fact that' a
surveying corps has landed at
the Quarry may be taken as an
indication that a preliminary-
survey at least will be made
with the Quarry as an initial
points The extension of the
C. and M. in a southeasterly di-
rection means we take it to
Brenham but for some reason
the managers of the Santa Fe
railway do not seem to regard
Brenham as a pet town how-
ever with this we have nothing
to do. Putting all the rumors
and facts together it may be
regarded as a fixed fact that
the Santa Fe will build a tap
or branch road from the
main line to Navasota and that
being conceded it behooves the
citizens of Brenham if they
want the branch road to come
here to secure it. The Ban-
ner has so frequently referred
to the advantages that would
accrue from such a branch road
that it is unnescessary to again
recapitualute them. Will they
do anything or will they al-
low the branch road to be
built to some point north of
Brenham either Quarry station
Lyons or perhaps Caldwell.
If our business men and pro-
perty owners have at heait the
future prosperity of Brenham
they will loose no" time in call-
ing a public meeting and tak-
ing some decisive action re-
garding this all-important mat-
ter. Fun and Scare. The other
night three or four of our bus-
iness men were on a frolic
some of 'em frolic occasionally
and to have a little fun they
organized an impromtu or 'tin-
canabus" band and with one of
their number mounted on a su-
perannuated and very thin
mule started for a serenade
travelling a distance of perhaps
two blocks when the music
ceased and the musicians halt-
ed. The leader still mounted
on the mule rode into a store
and up to the desk where
the day's cash was be-
ing counted. The cash coun-
ters the merchant and his
bookeeper were so intent
upon their-work that they did
not discover the presence of
the mule and the man until he
in a hoarse voice said "Your
money or your lives." - The
book-keeper had intense desire
to run while the merchant ad-
mits that he was scared. All
the parties were well acquaint-
ed and of course laughed at the
joke if such it be. In that
store the cash will hereafter be
counted earlier in the evening
to guard against possible ap-
pearance of sure-enough rob-
bers. lVhrAroTonllllllousJ

CHAD WICK'S l'LAXTATION.
The mult or white labor Facts
.intl Figures for the coiiiIUcra-
lion of LaiKllorir-i What
TYiianl cm lo
Mr. J. K. Chadwick one of
the largest land owners of this
county owning in all about
20000 acres of land deter-
mined last year to try the virtue
of white labor on a portion of
itl'J'With this object in view he
engaged Mr. A. P. DcKarwows-
ki as manager of his plantation
four miles cast of Brenham and
containing in all about 3000
acres. Mr. DcK. had on the
plantation last year about sev
enty families in all of these
fifty-two are Polanders or as
they are called here Poles the
remainder are Amerfcans and
colored people the latter made
very poor crops. The average
of the crop on this plantation
last year was three-fourths ol a
bale of cotton and forty bush-
els of corn to the acre; the
land on the plantation is of the
very best quality but still the
average is very large consider-
ing the dryness of the season.
As an illustration ol what was
accomplished by some of the
tenants the following figures
furnished by Mr. DeKarwowski
speak for themselves :
Mr. DeKarwowski cultivated
with two pair of mules looacres;
made $7 bales of cotton and
500 bushels of corn. Hired
labor by the day at 50 cents
and board.
Andrese Stagnant cultivated
4; acres with one yoke 'of oxen
and a pair of ponies ; made 23
bales of cotton and 450 bushels
of corn. His' own family did
most of the work.
Jan ;Nowack cultivated 23
acres with one horse and one
mule; made 11 bales of cotton
and 350. bushels of corn. He
did not arrive on the plantation
till the. Kth of March.
Andreas Harcinski cultivated
20 acres with twov horses and
made 10 bales of cotton and
250 bushels of corn.
These instances might be
multiplied indefinately but
enough are given to show fully
what.was accomplished. Near-
ly all the renters among the
Poles have corn to sell the land-
lord to supply new comers.
In the center of this magnifi-
cent plantation there is a pas-
ture of six hundred acres and
in the center of the pasture the
cotton gin is locate'd so that it
is convenient to all the tenants;
around the pasture houses all
comfortable and substantial
box houses arc located and in
addition each tenant has sheds
for his stock and cribs for his
corn. Lumber has been pur-
chased for the erection of a
school house' for the children
ol the Polish tenants. ' '
"Mr. Chadwick rents the land
on this plantation at S3. 50 per
acre in money rent or at .the
rate of one bale of cotton-to 12
acres to croppers'.'
' Mr. DeKarwowski brought
this colony of Poles to this'plan-
tation and states that he can
get five or six hundred more
families by next year if proper
encouragement is given him.
A fine opportunity is thus of-
fered other large land .owners
to procure reliable labor if
they want to do so. With such
results as those stated above it
seems like folly to dallv with
Colored labor and it also shows
what any industrious man
can do who has the energy and
industry to buckle himself down
to honest and hard labor. The
prediction may safely be ven-
tured that in less than five years
every one of these Polish ten-
ants who have made so auspi-
cious a beginning on the Chad-
wick plantation will be the own-
ers of farms of their own and
will be well along on the road to
wealth. Truly Texas" is.a won;
derful state and her soil verily
teams witli. wealth but it re-
quires hand licks to extract it.
In no other country in the world
could tenant farmers do as well.

man's expenses andwhere to bay it to the
Best Advantage
is a mailer worthy of no small considera-
tion. excellence-of material and trim-
mings neatness of appearance xeliabUitT
of sewing and lowaess of price are of
equal importance- to the consumer. In
onr selections of goods these features are
never lost sight of. We know- manufactur-
ers in New York who excel in this partic-
ular branch of the business (YOUNG
M13TS SUITS) and from them we buy-
such goods
rartics who have been carried away with
the idea that to feave their measure "and.
pay exhorbiUnt prices" for a suit of clothes
would result in perftct satisfaction to them
selves and the envy of their neighbors in
variably see the difference after it is too
late after they have spent double the mon-
ey it would have takea in the nrst place
to buy a really elegant-looking and per
feet fitting suit ol us.
There is no mistake aboutit that ihedass
of Ready-Made Clothing we are showing
