Conxtaiii.k M. S. Trimble aod Fran-
cis A. Slaughter on Thursday morning
about daylight bad a lively chase
np on B.irton twenty miles from Aus-
tin after the Hula brotheia charged
' with thootiug at Marsh Boikhaai the
day before antic of which wo made
yeateiday. They eaute up on the
II tics while they were asleep ia a wag
op and they iastant'y fled leaving pants
and coats behind and for soma time all
hands had a lively race throuzh the
truh and over atones and fences and
through creeks and gullies. Messrs.
TnmbU and Slaughter were compelled
to dismount to give chase aud they
ran through water up to their waiats
iiefure overhauling the lilies who
were brought to town under arrest
llonas Stkamso. We faiUJ to no
vice last week the arrest and dcten-
tion in onr caauty jail of the Simpson

county charged with horse stealing
One of them after a full examination

over in the sum of $730 for bis sppcar
nee at the next tetm of the District
-onrt to answer any indictment which
war be found anaiost him. In default
of bail he was remanded to prison
Tbe other brother's case awaits tbe ar
rival of witnesses who have heac sum
moned in his behalf. One of tbe sto.
len horses was the property of J. T.
Melvin a worthy mechanic of this
city and tbe capture and confinement
of tbe Simpsons are in a large msaanre
due to bis exertions which wa are glad
to say aim resulted in tbe recovery of
his horse.
Acsttx will soon have anothir grist
will and its location will be 00 Brton
creek near the big spring just above
raggl 'a mill. Work on a dam and
race has already commence. and it ia
probable tbe mill will be grinding by
tbe middle of September. How things
have changed ia the past two years.
When tbe Bonner mill which was con
sumed by fire two years ago was run
ning wheat had to be brought from
Northern Texas for noaa was grown
bare then worth speaking about and
consequently tbe enterprise did not
pay. for merchants found it better to
buy flour where tbe wheat was grown
rather than to buy flour manufactured
here out of wheat brought front the
same place. Now this section has be-
come n wheat country ia tbe short
apacn of two rears and money invested
in gnat mill proven profitable.
Every county should ham from
threw to a decea mill and tbe people
should patron ix them instead of bay-
ing flour brought front distant States
and sections.
Os Friday last Messrs Tips and Me
Creery members of the road improve-
ment committee went up tbe Burnet
road and by appointment met and coa-
salud with tl road overseers and
prominent citizens and wo ar glad to
ay that plans were adopted for the
Issprovstnent of the road through the
ctdarbrak oa to Dld'a store twenty
mile from AosUn. This ia the most
difficult part of the Burnet road and
perhaps by far the most expensive to
fix but there is about money enough
. oa hax to Ax It and the work f blast-
lag out and breaking up stone aad
chopping oat stamp aad roots through
the eedarbrek will begia ia a vary
fsw day. It U quit probable how-
ever that citizens of that vicinity aad
county authorities will alto repair tha
road from Dodd's stor through Bag
U4 and oa to Lierty HilL Merchant
f Austin any that tbe good effects of
the improvement of this road through
tbe.llancock lane bas already been
felt and when the cedarbrake section
of the road is put in order the good rt-
Silta will still be mere- perceptible.
Money enough should be raised to keep
a good force at work on the roads from
now till the first of October.
The Frxdeiiic-ksbcro akd Bi.amo
Roads. The importance of the im
provement of the roads from Austin
to Fredericksburg and Blanco may be
realized from statements made by par
ties residing in these towns. : In a con
versation with Hon. A. W. Moursand
judge of the county court of Blanco
county be stated that tbe distance
from Blanco to San Antonio is fifty
miles and from Fredericksburg to the
same city it is Ijhty miles. The di -
tance from these two places to Austin
is tbe same or very nearly so but tl.e
r tads to San Antonio are the beat.
B-ifore San Aotooio bad an outlet by
riilrtal the trade of Blanco and Fred-
ericksburg was controlled by Austin
merchants. Now unless the roads
from these points to AuUin are made
passable the trade which Austin has
hitherto enjoyed will tlad its way to
Hn Antonio. In exchange for go ds
purchased in Austin. Blanco and Gil-
lespie counties send butter bider
wool and cotton. Tbo merchants of
this city know the value of this trsde
and they as well as property owneis
and all other citizens interested u tbe
prosperity of Austin should act
promptly in securing permanently their
trade which bas proved so lucrative
to our people. The trade from Mason
Menard and Tom Green counties all
comes through Fredericksburg. There
the r-.iad folks one to Pan Antonio
the other to Austin.
The Cotton Wohm. In the past
few days the unwelcome cotton worm
bas made its appearance on several
farms in this county and Capt. Jas.
Thompson has been .experimenting
with the patent worm poison. In the
first place he administered the poison
on a few rows aod then waited a day
or two to ace the effect which proved
tbe most satisfactory. The worms
were k illel by countless millions
snd the rooa of cotton on which tbe
poison bad been sprinkled looked fresh
snd vigorous while the rows that had
not been sprinkled showed fearful rav-
age on the part of the worms. The
Captain bas jutw used poison on his.
entire crop and Le anticipates a very
heavy yield. Mr. John T. Miller who
was in Mr. Thompson's field on Surday
yest?'day commenced the application
of the poisxn oa his cotton aod he
has full faith that tbe worms will be
destroyed sod a full crop of cottop
made. If every farmer in the country
can be induced to use the poison do
doubt a bale of cotton to the acre will
be made this season. 1 he poison coatB
but twenty-five ceuts a pound and
four pounds of it dissolved in a barrel
of water is sufficient for four acres of
cotton. It is administered by means
of the common hand sprinklers. Those
who have very large crops use a wagon
carrying a barrel or two of the poison
in front and two men in the rear with
the sprinklers. In this way from fifty
to one hnudred uiiva of cotton can be
aprinkled iu one day aud more where
two or three teams can be kept at
work. The worms do no carnage af-
ter the application of the poslon and
die within thlrty-sif hours.
Poiik Pack 1 no ix Airsinin. Parties
in Et. Louis have been making in
quiriea In regard to the practicality
of cstabliiibing a pork packery at Aus-
tin. Jn reply to a letter of inquiry
from w pork packer in St. L-uis Col.
Sbanda of tbjs city writes as follows:
I have made inquiries io regard to
prices at which ica can be furnished in
large quantities in this city. The
Capital Ice Company manufactures ten
thousand pounds per day. They de-
liver it at their factory in large lots at
1 1-4 cents per pound. The Austin
Ice Company will doubtless sell at
same rates. The Capital Ice Company
manufactures ea la blocks of 'iOO
pounds five to six incbss Uiick. You
can doubtless contract with tilher or
both of these companies for all the ice
you msy require at one cent per
pound delivered at the 1 c-
tory possuMv at less figures.
I am informtd that Mr. D. and Mr. M.
two heavy cattle dealers are f king
abut establishing a packery at this
place or vicinity. Their business of
purchasing and driving cattle to tbe
Northwest ia about played out. Ship-
ments are made by railroad cheaper
than they cap afford to drive. Pork
will be cheap la Te;as this MI. Tbe
corn crop in tbis section wiU be im-
mense forty to fifty bushels to tiu: au
and all safely made. The season has
been unusually favorable all over the
State.
I am sati'fKd that a pork packery
here commenced in a small way would
pay from tbe start and could be in-
creased very lsrgely in a few years.
There is no sense in our people ship-
ping hogs to St. Louis and purchasing
almost all Ibeir bacon from the North-1
west. Just as good packing can be
don her with ice as ia 8u Louis and
cost of transportation commissions
etc will leave a wide margin of profit
afur paying for ice. liogi aa be
purchased in this market at one to two
eente per pound less than St Louis
prices whilst pork and bacon com-
mands aa avrag in round Sot from
on and a half to two and a half cents
mora tLsa in your city. You can make
your figures. You would find a marktt

etc can reacilT be obtained.

TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
FrrrsnrnoH. July 22. The crisi of
the railway atrike iu this city as indi-
cated in the dispatches Saturday night
was reached yesterday atternoon aoout
5 P. if. when the Philadelphia troops
who bad been sent li re to suppress the
strikers fired upon tins crowd. The
terribly fatal ellects oi the shots hreu
exasperated the citizens as well as the
strikers and in less than an hour the
band of workingrueu from the rutting
mills csal mines and various manufac-
turing establishments were determined
to have revenge on the troops aad rail
road officials. It was s'ated that Oen.
Pearson commander of the Sixth Di-
vision of the State guard? had direct-
ed troops to fire before any resistance
bad been made and the fact that many
if the killed an I wounded lid gath-
ered on the hilNide uiertly a specta-
tors strved to increase I tie bitterness
f the crowd. By 8 ft'ilmk in tin
evening the mobs u r: ntovirg Hboui

armories of the military c.unp; nies aud

threat freely exprcs.-ed of massacre
ing the entire Philadelphia co:r.ui'ind.
By this time the military withdrew
Irom the railroad crossing at Twenty-
eighth street whirs the tiist conlhct
took place and were ordered to one oi
the round houses where t'ley f u id bet-
ter protection. At about lit o'clock in
he evening a uiolj uuuiIk-i ing several
housand had congregated about Un-
round house. They had previously
captured tbe guns belonging to the
Hutchins Battery ft local organization
and plauted them so as to command
-be round housS. Several glid shots
ere fired at the biiildins and a
brea di made in the wall? but when
the n'urired mob attempted to rush
in the building the militaiy were or-
dere I to tire. Trw voi!(?y cf u;usketry
that followed and the rumor that tlit
Gatling guns of the command were be-
ing brought to bear caused a panic
ind the mob Mad prccipit:tciy for sev-
eral squares the military meanwhile
keeping up the fuailaie. Tbe rioters
however were goojj reassured and as
housands were Hocking to their assist-
ance returnel to the attack tfindiag
It difficult to dislodge th3 military from
the building they determined to burn
them out. An order was given to this
effect aod it was curried into execution
with a fiendish alacrity by the rioters
In consequence of tbe blockade which
had existed for two days the building
in the oiiter yards as well as those ex
tending east fqr three or four rni'es
were crowded with freigtif pars f; II ri
with grain produce and merchandise"
of all kinds besides which a number
Uden with oil Coke and coal were piled
up iu i bo -una while a portion tf the
ii!ob iurrounded the building in which
e military had taken refuse. Large
dies proceeded to tet fire to the oil
. rs and in a moment the huge yoljme:?
f black sm e wbiph rolled upwards
ia every direction told that the work

tight of flames seemed to litorrflly crii)
'he rioters some of whom lushed wild
.y about with rl iming torches in their
'lands applying them to the cars indis-
criminately. An nlnn?) was sounded
W'l the departmem promptly
responded but tl.e rioters who
Had complete control of the city re-
fused t permit thtm to make an ciT rt
to extinguish the JJ itrres. They said
they were determined to desti-oy the
railroad comp iny's property but would
not burn the property of the citizens.
They kept their word too and when
i lumber pile belonging to a citizen
took fire the rioters thetrpelyes tumid
md helped to K'iugu-di the I)'uu2s
nd remove the lumbor to a safe place.
Train after tiain was tired by the
infuriated crowd but the cars were so
far distant fn ui the round house that
it did not seriously injure the military
dt hi ugh their position was one of
peril. Finally a largp party of strik-
ers captured a car titled with coke
which tbey run from the Alleghany
Valley Riilroad trak to a sidetrack
connecting with the Pennsylvania rail
road. They then procured large q unti-
tles of pretroltnm oil and pourexg it
over tbe coje ingnifpd. tj'.e material.
Ia a few moments the car was a uias.-
ot lire and it was then pulled along
side the track and forced against the
round house. The building was soon
ignited and the soldiers were now com
pelled to prepare to fight their way cut
through the frenzied missed humanity
clanging for their Mood. The build-
ing did not burn as rapidly as was
xpected and tbe m b bent on re
venge rushed out on the road and sent
burning trains toward the doomed
building. From midnight to 5 o'clock
this morniag tbe main efforts of the
crowd were directed to tiring the build-
ings and cars but about half an hour
later tbe mob which had been besieg-
ing tbe military left for some unex-
plained reason. This afforded tbe
troops who were in actual danger of
being roasted alive an opportunity to
emerge from the building and they
succeeded ia reaching Liberty street in
afew moments. Tbey quickly formed
and marched to Thirty-third street and
thence to Pennsylvania Avenue and
Butler street. Tneir objective point
was tbe United States arsenal on But-
ler street wbre they expected to ob-
tain shelter. While turning into But-
ler street however the leaders had
discovered tbeir retreat and fully
1000 men armed and supplied with
ammunition followed in pursuit. Some
uf tbe troop fired on tLe citizens
either accidentally or intentionally as
they were moving along and tbis ad-
ded fury to the cry for revenge. When
they reached the arstnl the com-
mandant refu'ed to admit them. He
aid he had but ten men and would
be powerless to hdd tbe place if tbe
mob should attack it. He consented to
take earn of tbe wounded and they
were acc trdingly carried into the" bos-
pi tela. The main body of tbe troops
continued tbeir march out Butler
street a fuailade being kept np on
them by tbe mob as they moved for-
ward. The shots fired killed one of
tha soldier. Before tbey reached the
arsenal and nearly opposite the capi-
tal gate fully a mile above tbe
arsenal two others were killed and
were left lying on tbe sidewalk. They
t-outioued tbeir flight and crossed
over to tbe aorth aide of the Allegheny
river oa Sharpabarg bridge tbe mob
following them as rapidly a possible.
After reaching the aorth side tbe
troopa acaitered. la this way the mob
wa divided into very small bodies.
Ia tha meantime tbe city was ia a
state of anarchy. Thousand who had
act joined ia tha pursuit of the fleeing
troopa gathered about the burning
buildings aad aanated ia spreading the

who were desperate in their anxiety to
secure the goods. The pillage was
checked but tbe mob fired the cars

any idea of the amount of goods stolen
but hundreds of thousanus of dollars
will not cover the lors. At train time
the military fled. Up to 3 o'clock in

The mob worked veiy quietly and
it was noticeable that few of the rail-

The mayor"' hai leuignc I. The
aldermen foleinly met this afternoon to
hold an impiest" and returned a ver-
dict that his honor's resignatauu was
dee to "spontaneous dissatisfaction.''
and he was allowed to "step down

The itMA'ter comes out the same
week it is dated now. The new local
editor who dropped in ou us without
any warning is quite an addition to
our paper. Everybody likes a little
nonsense now and then. Now blow
your "bar.zoo" Mr. II.
Budding is still progressing rap.dly
here. Two two-itoiy b:ick will be
started on Main street soon which will
add immensely to the alresdy improved
appearance of that street. lSunncs ol
all kinds is gradually improving.
We hive enjoyed several refreshing
and bcnetlcial showeis during the past
week cooling the atmosphere aud till-
ing the cisterns in town ami helping
the farmers in the country. Truly we
have reason to be thankful (or a season
so advantageous to the interests of all.
There is to be a grand tournament

four and a half miles from town f i
which great preparations art: bcitii!
made tjuite a cumber have enrolled

Watermelons j. etches an'l grsp s
are plentiful here ami are liiig sol.l
at prices entirely satisfactory to all -f
the dealers.
; There are more dogs to the square
foot in Rockdale than in any otlirr
town we know of end when their an
gry passions rise they are so ill bred
that thry run into jeople and knock
them down whereat one of the coin
mandments is so effectually broken
tbat it would serve no purpose to keep
ibe rst. Don t Kaiser want to buy
some dog ?
Heat! heat! Everywhere summer is

There is a great deal of astonishment
privately ex press d in the Russian
armies over "the surprising manner in
which thoee animal of Turks fight.
It ought to be considered tbat they are
simply fighting to get into Paradise;
but things can never be seen in the
right light by your opponent. The
Prophet Mahomet knew what he was
about h?n he got np his famous rfipt
and if he was actually in the nntrsm-
cneled enjnvmeiit of piiblikbins his
ideas r'ojbtless he could show several
0 miuiunicatioos of the following tenor :
"Mr. Mahomet: My dear sir I was
completely bed-riddep had lent all ap-
petite and was in tbe last stages of
consumption. Three weeks ago a few
of your Terse were read to me aod
from that moment I began to recover.
I repeated over what had been read to
me three times dsy until now I am
stronger tbta I ever was aad consider
myself proof against any disease. I
would not b; without your verses for
tbe world. Please send me twelve
dozen cepie of tbe same and believe
me yourr faithfully Mistafhu In-
closed nnd five dollars"
It appear that the most obstructive
atrike of the present tim was or is
tbat of tbe Wamsutta Mills New Dad-
ford Mas. It i stated tbat it cost
the workmen a loas of aereral hundred
thousand dollars to accomplish noth-.
