Serious Affray. Thursday
afternoon a difficulty occurred
at Washington between Dr.
Lyd Smith and Robert Lott in
which the former was stabbed a
number of times. . All efforts to
obtain the particulars of the
difficulty proved fruitless. It is
supposed that Dr. Smith is
mortally wounded. It was re-
ported that Dr. Smith was alive
at 10 o'clock Wednesday morn-
ing. Convicts. Ten Lee county
convicts were brought down on
Sunday night's train and placed
in jail. Monday the agent for
the penitentiary called for them
and took them away on the
evening train. There was six
whites and four negroes in the
gang among them Sibley con-
victed of the murder of Tonn
at Lexington last winter and
sentenced to fifty years.
Assignment. On Monday
afternoon Messrs. D. W. Bloom-
bargh 8&Co. an old and well
known firm'' made an assign-
ment to Jack Switzer represent-
ing H. B. Claflin & Co. of New
York for the benefit of all their
creditors. Mr. Switzer qualified
by giving bond. B. & Co. ex-
pect to arrange everything sat-
isfactorily within a few days as
their assets arc in excess of their
liabilities.
Rain. In this section there
has been among farmers curs-
ing because of the .dry weather
and also praying for rain. It is
unnecessary to make any con
jectures as to the cause of
rain; it came about noon and
lasted till about four in the af-
ternoon; it was a gentle and
genteel rain just hard enough
to be absorbed by the thirsty
soil; it came in good time and
will be of vast benefit.
Public Schools. The clos-
ing exercises of the public
schools will commence on Mon-
day June- 12th and continue
during the week. The first
three days will be devoted to
private written examinations
and the last two to public oral
examinations. On Sunday
June i8lh Rev. W. B. Rigge
will preach the closing sermon
at the Presbyterian church ;
Monday the 19th at the opera
house Mr. Henry Muller will
deliver the literary address and
the exercises will close by
awarding diplomas.
Arrested sheriff Hutchinson
returned from Temple yester-
day whither he had been with
a warrant for the arrest of W. I.
McMahon on a charge of as-
sault with intent to kill. Sheriff
Hutchinson advised with Judge
McFarland before leaving and
was told by him. to take bond
for McM's appearance. As
soon as McM. heard that Hutch-
inson was in town he hunted
him up and surrendered giving
a gilt-edged bond for his ap-
pearance here on the 5 th of
June. Mr. B. Gerber and Mr.
Wallace are his bondsmen.

Tuesday morning a quarrel
occured on the school grounds
between two boys Henry
Hutchinson and John P. Wil-
liams both about fifteen years
of age. They drew sticks on
each other; then they agreed
to an armistice threw away the
sticks and went out of the school
enclosure to re-open the battle
which if it had been conducted
according to the original agree-
ment would have been a fair
square stand up and knock
down; but it wasn't As Wil-
liam's advanced on Hutchinson
the latter drew a chunk of lead
from his pocket and threw it at
the former the missile striking
him on the forehead cutting his
hat and making a gash in his
head. Williams then picked up
a stick and made for Hutchin-
son striking him across the side.
Hutchinson who was "heeled"
stepped back and drew a pistol
which he is said to have snap-
ped once or oftener. At this
juncture the boys were separ-
ated. Williams went before
Justice Hackworth and made a
complaint charging Hutchin-
son with an assault with intent
to murder. It is likely that an-
other charge that of unlawfully
carrying a pistol will also be
preferred. Brenham boys are
quite precocious and it is cur-
rently reported that quite a
large number of the "young
roosters" earlyspring chickens
from 12 to 14 or 16 years of age
are in the habic of packing or
toting revolvers. The source
from which this information is
derived is considered to be re-
liable We would suggest that
an armory be established at the
school house and when "heeled"
roosters come to school they
should be required to leave their
pistols and dirk-knives which
should be returned to them
when they start home. If the
boys are to have pistols and
dirks there should be some sys-
tem about it
Wedding Bells.
On Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock
at the residence of the bride's father R.
F. Tamplra Esq. at Gay Hi!! Dr. R. A.
Watkins and Miss Rosa D.Tamplm were
united in the holy bonds of wedlock Rev.
Dr. J. W. Mdier D. D officiating. The
ceremony was both beautiful and impress-
ive. The groom is a young physician of
high social standing and the bride is one
of the most loveable young ladies of the
neighborhood. After the ceremony a sump-
tuous supper was ptrtaken of by the guests.
Among the bridal presents may be men-
tioned the following: Stiver butter dish
Mrs. S. Dixon; silver pickle stand Dr.
Dixon; silver castor Mrs. Dr. Young; sil-
ver cake stand Miss Laura Jameson siher
card recover Miss Nettie Jameson; silver
spoon holder Mrs. Pat Stephens; silver
butter dish and knife Mrs. Watkins. The
company was treated to some excellent
music by Mrs. Watkins and MissesCarter
and Morris

this city;
The Bavner is requested to
say that the death of Mr. John
Young on Sunday last was
caused by inflammation of the
bowels. On Sunday morning
about four o'clock he was at-
tacked by cramp cholic and
about 6 took a dose of chloro-
form which put him to sleep ;
he woke about 1 o'clock in the
afternoon being perfectly con-
scious and conversing with his
family and such friends as were
present. He suffered intense
pain but retained his full senses
up to the time of his death
which occurred about midnight
The cause of his death was in-
flammation of the bowels and
not chloral or chloroform as
has been erroneously stated.
Cotton Seed. Since the
first of September the agent of
the Galveston oil mill has ship-
ped from here 1S95 tons of cot-
ton seed about three times the
quantity ever handled here in
one season before. In addition
to the shipments the Brenham
oil mills have bought and work-
ed about 2000 tons. The aver-
age price for the season has
been a fraction over $8 per ton
and between J535ooo

The inventive genius that is
applied to devising ways and
means of getting something for
nothing would in most instan-
ces make an honest living.
Many tricks are resorted to but
the following ts the latest prac
ticed in Brenham and it was
only discovered or to use a
new and popular expression
"dropped on" a few days ago:
A colored woman who is ac-
companied by two kids (boys)
eight or ten years old or there-
abouts go to a family grocery
store where there is likely to be
a crowd and pretends to be
waiting for somebody as she
waits the kids disport them-
selves among the barrels boxes
measures buckets and samples;
both have capacious pockets
and by a preconcerted arrange-
ment one kid fills his pockets
full of eggs potatoes onions
coffee beans or any other com-
modity that is valuable and
pocketable; this done the other
kid is not long in discovering
that his "brudder" has done an'
bin an' put things in his pocket.
The woman is not only surpris-
ed but indignant the peculating
kid is brought before the out-
raged mother who has no idea
that "her boy" would put things
in his pocket and is carefully
searched but only partially un-
loaded by this process the sus
picion of the grocer is allayed
and'a fair percentage of the pock
eted property is secured to the
woman. This game was suc-
cessfully played on one of our
grocers twice that he knows of
and a great many times that he
knows not of. It is a very
shrewd trick and if played be-
fore it has never been mention-
ed in the newspapers and goes
to show that the colored folks
are about as tricky as their
white neighbors.
The Santa Fe Extension.
The Banner learns that the line
of the Eastern Branch of the
Sante Fe from Navasota to
Lyons has been abandoned as
impracticable because of the
expense The route to Sny-
ders Camp is located and now
ready for graders. We have
already spoken of the country
through which it passes. It is
stated that the ultimate destina-
tion of the Navasota branch is
Austin but the country through
which it would run is generally
poor and thinly settled and in
addition the International is on
one side and the Central on the
other. If the Santa Fe man-
agement reconsiders and comes
to Brenham they will get from
500a to 6000 bales of cotton
from the neir' '. srhood of
Washington in tias county with
a prospect of an annual increase.
This cotton now goes to Nava-
sota and will find a market via
the Central railroad. In addi-
tion to this cotton all the busi-
ness of that neighborhood would
come here.
Tolored Picnic. Friday
there was a colored Sunday
school and church picnic at
Walker's mill. All the Sunday
school children from Camptoun
and their parents and friends
went out making a very large
crowd. About the time the ta-
bles were set and all hands were
in anticipation of enjoying the
good things provided for a din-
ner in the woods it commenced
raining and continued until af-
ter four o'clock completely
breaking up the sport Bren-
ham is famous for having rains
on Sunday school picnics and
in seasons of drouth it might
perhaps be a good idea to get
up a Sunday school picnic for
the benefit of farmers whose
crops are suffering for rain.
Crazy. Thursday night the
wife of a Georgian living on
Mr. A K. Shepard's plantation
near Long Point was heard by
her husband in the kitchen
sharpening a butcher knife. He
got up went to her and asked
her what she was going to do.
She replied that she was going
to kill her child. He under
pretense of seeing whether the
knife was linn 11 I'iu'-HM !!
urpose ob
Wheat.
A few days ago we mentioned
that Mr. J. V. MaUon of the
Long Point neighborhood was
raising a small crop of wheat.
Mr. M. was in town yesterday
and informed a Banner reporter
that he had four acres in Nica-
ragua wheat that was now
ready to cut ; it looks fine is
free from rust and will yield not
less than twenty-five bushels to
the acre. He will send some of
it to Galveston to be ground
and the remainder will be dis-
posed of for seed. For the past
year or two Nicaragua wheat
has been successfully raised by
a number of farmers in his
neighborhood and also in the
neighborhood of Burton. It is
Mr. Matson's present intention
to plant about twenty acres of
this wheat next season and all
who have experimented with it
will plant more extensively next
year. He is familiar with the
culture of wheat and has lately
been in North Texas the wheat
country of the State ; he says
as fine wheat can be raised here
as there and as much of it both
the soil and the climate being
equally well adapted to it. In
his opinion a flouring mill at
Brenham is about the only thing
needed to stimulate farmers and
planters to make wheat a part
of their regular crop the same
as corn and cotton. Should
this idea be carried out it will
be found of vast benefit to the
country for two reasons : It
will keep at home a vast sum of
money that is sent away for
flour and the surplus sold for
cash wheat always brings cash
will bring money here at a
time it is most urgently needed
and when there is nothing else
to market Mr. Matson also
says that oats rye barley and
millet can all be successfully
raised ; he has a variety of oats
known as Egyptian which he
says do well. The heads are
very long and the grain small
but abundant. A greater diver-
sity of crops has long been a
pressing need in all the exclu-
sively cotton country. Raising
cotton and using the proceeds
to buy bread and meat and for-
age for the work stock not only
impoverishes the soil but also
the planter's pockets; To use
a somewhat ambiguous expres-
sion the farmer who can live
at home and board at the same
place is in a fair way to inde-
pendence Have Left. Mrs. Buckow
and Mary Buckow the women
whose adventures in seeking
aid subsequent arrest trial fine
and incarceration in our elegant
bastile.have been fullychronicled
in these columns after four days
rest prayer and recuperation
on Saturday came to the sensi-
ble conclusion that Brenham
was not in the least adapted to
their easy way of making a liv-
ing off the charitably inclined.
Their visit to Bienham may be
summed up thus: hotel bill paid
about $3; collected from the
charitable about $7.25; boarded
at expense of city four days
lodging zero; experience gained
about 9870.65. They bought
tickets to Richmond over the
Santa Fe and the city cart was
furnished to transport their bag-
gage to the depot; it consisted
of one seven-shooter revolver
about 23 calibre and worth
scant four bits one trunk two
big baskets and a pair olrgrip-
sacks. They showed by their
conduct in the bastile that they
were used to such quarters and
had some little knowlege of
their legal rights. If they at-
tempt to beg again they should
be shown no mercy by the offi-
cers as it is evident that they
have adopted that means of
making a livelihood.

The Mai-fest at Bellville on
Wednesday 17th inst. was
largely attended and was a
grand success financially as
well as otherwise. The pro-
cession was formed and moved
off for Miller's grove at 9.30 a.
in. headed by the Houston
brass band the May Queen and
her attendants mounted on a
beautiful chariot handsomely
decorated followed; and in the
rear of the Queen's chariot was
another decorated wagon in
which u ere seated tw clvc beau-
tiful little girls ranging in age
from eight to twelve years all
of whom were gaudily attired in
holiday costume. Buggies wa-
gons and citizens on horseback
completed the procession.
Miss Annie Wilson a beauti-
ful brunette was the May
Queen; she was richly attired in
cream colored satin tastefully
trimmed and wore a wreath of
rare flowers. Upon the arrival
of the procession at the grove
the Queen was received by Mr.
D. A. Pauli in a brief but ap-
propriate speech to which Miss
Wilson replied in a neat and
modest manner gaining the
plaudits and admiration of all
who were so fortunate as to be
within hearing distance. After
the coronation exercises had
been concluded the people be-
took themselves to social enjoy-
ment and merry-making; every-
body seemed in good cheer and
fun and jovialty ran high. Bren-
ham's delegation arrived too
late to witness the procession or
ceronation exercises and the
Banner representative is there-
fore under obligations to Messrs
W. C Hill and J. C. Stutton
for valuable assistance in get-
ting up our report
There was to have been a
walking match for S10 but as it
was not made up the judges al-
lowed Mr. Charles Glenn a
young man raised in Austin
county to walk against time
i. e. if he made three miles
within thirty minutes he
was to get the purse. Mr.
Glenn started out on his journey
light-hearted and merry and
succeeded in making Jits first
two miles in nineteen minutes
completing his three miles in
twenty-nine minutes when he
was raptuously applauded.
The next exercise on the pro-
gramme was a tournament in
which fifteen young men enter-
ed for the prizes a 525 saddle
and a $S bridle. After a close
contest of some two hours in
which some fine horsemanship
and good tilting was shown
the judges awarded the first
prize to Mr. C. Menke who
rode for Mr. H. Granau; Mr. Jo.
Francis was awarded to second
prize.
In the afternoon at the earn-
est solicitation of a number of
old friends Col. C. B. Shepard
was induced to make a brief ad-
dress which he delivered in his
usual easy jovial good-natured
style.
At 6 o'clock in the afternoon
dancing commenced in good
earnest on the platform which
was rather uncomfortably
crowded. When we left the
grounds at 9:30 at night we
gazed upon one of the gayest
throngs of pleasure-seekers ithas
been our good fortune to come
in contact with for lo these
many days. Thepyrotechnical
display at night was grand.
We had the pleasure of meet-
ing with a great many of our
old friends and acquaintances
to whom we feel under obliga-
tions for the many courtesies
extended us. The people of
Austin county are not to be out-
done by any county in the state
when it comes to dispensing
pure genuine unadulterated
Texan hospitality.

The members of the German-
1a Society of this city some
time ago purchased more land
adjoining their grounds making
about five acres in all which
has been enclosed with a good
substantial fence; shade trees
has been planted out the
ground well covered with a lux
uriant growth of Bermuda grass;
a new street has been opened
from Market street down to the
Germania hall; a fine shooting
gallery on the grounds fitted up
in the best style. A new resi-
dence has been erected for
occupancy by the family of the
gentleman who has charge of
the grounds on the hill just
.across Hog Branch and a good
loot bridge erected over the
branch. The major portion of
these improvements have been
made within the past four
months; the neatness and taste
with which the grounds have
been laid out and planted in
shade trees together with all
other improvements reflects
great credit upon the members
of the society and shows great
determination in rendering their
grounds comely and attractive
a place where a Sunday after-
1 noon can be spent pleasantly
in innocent amusement.
On last Sunday quite a num-
ber of our German fellow citi-
zens repaired with their fami
lies to the Germania Park and
a more enjoyable evening it has
not been our good fortune to
witness for some time. In the
yard under the broad spreading
boughs of a fine grove of Pin
oaks benches and chairs were
arranged for the company while
they witnessed the exercises of
the Alamo Turners consuming
some two hours of time. Some
of the feats performed by the
Alamo boys are difficult and re-
quire great strength and activity
to perform them; nevertheless
they proved equal to the oc-
casion and acquitted themselves
honorably.
After the turners had finished
their exercises a general jump-
ing festival from a spring board
took place in which some of
the "heavy weights" participat-
ed freely and did some splendid
leaping. Mr. Fritz Fisher we
believe claims that the honors
arc about equally divided be-
tween himself and Dr. Tristram
hence the announcement that
on next Sunday evening at 4
o'clock a jumping match will
take place between "heavy
weights;" the following named
gentlemen being invited to come
forward pay one dollar entrance
fee and enroll their names as
contestants the entrance fees
to be invested in beer for the
occasion to-wit: Messrs. H.
Hodde F. Fisher F. Meisner
Dr. Tnstram F. Werner A.
Stelzig H. L. McClung Wm.
Cohn C.T. Roff H. W. Gra-
ber and C. A. Potter. Of course
it is generally understood that
neither of these gentlemen will
go Into active training for the
occasion.
A 6 o'clock in the afternoon
a splendid lundvwas spread and
all present were invited to par-
take of it which invitation was
readily accepted. At night a
grand ball was given which was
largely attended.

We have been blessed with a
splendid rain which came in the
nick of time; corn and cotton
that was planted late neeaea it.
Everybody in this state who
is interested in farming is hap-
py over the prospects of an
abundance of corn and small
grain. There is plenty of time
to make a good crop of cotton
by working steadily and keeping
down the weeds and grass. I
think as a general thing that
prospects are better now than
they have been at the same time
for the nast five vears. and the
ireedmen work with better spir
its than I nave noucea wiimn
that time. They now realize
that all depends on their labor
lor a support as tney nave naa
to pay from $1.25 to S1.75 for
corn and meal.
A few days ago I had the
pleasure of riding with Capt. I.
