University Mop.
Last evening as the hour of 9 ap-
proached there began to gether in Tur-
ner hall a large and brilliant assemblage
the oooasiou being the hop given by the
University students. Seldom have the
walls of Turner hall looked down upon a
soene of greater brilliancy. The ladies
were looking their sweetest and taking
advantage of the priviliges (?) accorded
by leap year moved even the modest and
bashful junior lawyer student who
usually stands in the corner always wear-
ing the same pleasant smile aye even
him the fair and winsome belles
brought forth from his se-
cluded nook and whirled him around
the "hall of mirth" till he sighed for "a
lodge in some vast wilderness" where he
might hide himself. The gentlemen re-
linquished themselves into the arms (f)
of the young ladies with a natuaral grace
and coyness that did them great credit.
It was altogether a great victory for
the University students and they are to be
congratulated on the graoef ul and entirely
satisfactory manner in which they enter-
tained their guests.
RECEPTION.
A Delightful Levee at the Resi-
dence of Dr. Waggoner.
'When the prediction was hazardej in
these oolumns a day pr so ago that there
were large numbers of Austin people who
would seek oooasion at all tirces to do
honor to Miss Ida Harris of Nashville
now visiting Miss Waggener of this oity
the prophet spoke truth. The reception
tendered her by her charming hostess last
evening was an event in the eooial his
torv of Anstin. From the opening hour
7 p. m. and throughout the entire evening
the parlors of Dr. Waggoner's residenoe
on Lavaoa street were inrongea witn
friends come to pay their respect to the
hostess and her honored guest of the
evening. Ladies in rioh toilets and gen
tlemen in the conventional evening dress
formed a brilliant assembly. Miss Wag
gener and her guest were assisted in their
reception by airs. wm. inompson mm.
Satterfield Miss Sallie Walker while
Misses Annie Archer Helen Beaie ana
Lizzie and Lila Bell Waggener waited on
the refreshment tables with a graoe and
alaority worthy of the ocoaBion.
Mies Harris was a perfect dream of
loveliness and flsated among the
guests "like a silken sizh" as one
admirer aptly expressed it
'As light as any breeze that blow;
So gently did she stir
The flower she stepued on dipped and rose
And turned to look at her."
It is with sincere regret that we are
called upon to chroniole the faot that Miss
Harris will leave for her home in a few
days but all can express the hope that her
visit to Austin has given her as much
pleasure as it has her hostess ana ner
friends.
Fire.
At 1:30 o'clock this morning fire was
discovered in the house of Molly Seymour
on Lavaca between Fourth and Fifth and
although the firemen were almost instantly
on the scene the building was almost en-
tirely destroyed. It was a two-etory
frame valned at $2000 said to have been
insured. The oocupants managed to
escape.
Look Out!
A man earned J. E. Meryman or Wary-
man was arrested by Officer Chenneville
yesterday on a oharge of obtaining
money under false pretenses. He got a
few dollars from several parties here by
pretending he was a lawyer and (scratch-
ing his head by way of impressing them)
kne? something to their interest in some
estate which he was investigating.
POLITICAL POINTERS.
Candidates are beginning to indicate
their willingness to accept office.
The Big Four it is thought will stand
together again for election this fall.
The senatorial bee is buzzing in the
bonnets of several patriots.
Among others we hear the following
named gentlemen mentioned for the leg-
islature: Messrs. Chas. B. Gibson Charley
Caldwell Frank Morris Phillips Embree
Smith Jchn W. Robertson Dudley
Wooten Bart Giles Ed Christian and A.
P. Wooldridge.
The friends of Mr. Frank Morris are
dispossd to put him forward aud some
say be would make an excellent distriot
judge.
It is oonoedod thit Mr. Robertson has
made a fair district attorney but there
seems to be an earnest feeling in favor of
Major Stewart for this offioe and in favor
of rotation. Many say that the Major
has been an honest and hard worker for
the demoaratio party and that he should
be honored this fall with the office of dis-
trict attorney and hU abilities are gen-
erally conceded. Ia Major Stewart Mr.
Auuerisou win una a vigorous uuuipetiiur.
Judge Braokenridjze is universally pop
ular and it is thought that a strong man
must be put forward by the democratic
party to beat the present inoumbent of
the office of county judge. Messrs. Wil
liam von - Rosenberg jr. Archer Hill
Williams and Hamilton are mentioned as
possible candidates.
Mr. Burnhart pursues the even tenor of
his way does his duty and has made friends
since he has been county attorney. It is
thought that others besides Mr. Barnhart
may aspire to the otlioe at the approaoh-
lng eluotiou.
The friends of Mr. Mat Johnson may
urge him again for the offioe of county
treasurer and Mr. Ben Pillow may again
offer himself for Mr. A. R. Morris' place.
There is Borne talk of Captain Walsh
being put forward for distriot or county
olerk. It is generally admitted that Jim
Hart and Frank Brown are among the
best clerks in the state and either will be
hard to beat.
Mr. Giles has many avowed supporters
for the senatorship. Mr. Glassoook it is
thought will not be a candidate. Judge
Fulmore Felix Smith and others' are
mentioned for this offioe.
It is surmised that the man who beats
Ham Metz will be the next county asses
sor. Ham is a sort of "buzz saw" to
tackle.
If Make Hornsby announoes for shoriff
again he will not be easily beaten for he
is "wild and wolly and hard to curry."
Jack Kirk Sam Piatt and Marshal Lucy
have friends who would like to push them
to the front for this offioe.
FROM SATURDAY'S. DAILY.
The Nalle Rifles.
An elegant reception was tendered to
this oompany by Miss Louise Hamby last
night at her residence No. COO San An-
tonio street in acknowledgment of the
compliment paid her in eleoting her the
"daughter of the company." The evening
was passed very agreeably in various
ways one of the quite acceptable features
being an elegant supper at whioh Miss
Hamby very gracefully presided. Capt.
Ernest Nalle with the full force of his
company and as many of the young rep-
resentatives of the other sex making
about twenty-five or thirty couples were
present and heartily enjoyed the oooa
sion.
"Now stir the fire and olose the shutters
fast let fall the ourtain wheel the sofa
round" and lot us tell of the comfort and
content of being oured of headache and
neuralgia by Salvation Oil.
Mr. Emra Holmes.
An English paper among other allu-
sions to the United Orders of the Temple
and Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem
has the following mention of Mr. Emra
Holmes brother of Major H. M. Holmes
secretary to Governor Ross: "We learn
that Mr. Emra Holmes K. C. T. Fellow
of the Royal Historical society Provincial
Prior of Canada and Past Grand Provost
of England has resigned his office as
representative of the Great Priory of
Canada at the National Great Priory of
England and Wales (whioh he has held for
the past nine or ten years). This is in
consequence of the action of the Canadian
Knight Templars (who were lately ab-
solved from their allegianoe to the PriDoe
of Wales Grand Master) in invading the
territories under the jurisdiction of the
Great Priory of England and founding
preceptories ef the order in Australia in
spite of the energetio protests of the
English Templars. We understand that
the Great Priory of Lngland has now
unanimously and finally resolved to sever
all connection with and to' repudiate the
existence of the Great Priory of Canada
whose representative here is unable to de
fend its action in the matter."

THE RUST CASE.
Foints in an Interesting Decision
in the Federal Court.
Elvira Rust et al. vs. Abner Taylor
This was an action brought by plaintiffs
against Abner Taylor state capitol con-
tractor for damages to six lots on the
north side of College avenue lying Imme-
diately east of the Capitol sqare. The
property was oooupied and used as a
homestead and was claimed to be of the
value of $20000.
The railroad used by Abner Taylor for
carrying building material to the state
capitol was located along College avenue
which ia 100 feet wide being about the
oenter of the street at the east 'side of the
Rust premises but beginning a curve to
enter the capitol grounds approaohed to
with twenty-one feet at the west side.
The out began about . the east side
of the premises and extended"
100 feet west of the premises.
This cnt was ten feet deep in front of the
Rust premises and was forty feet wide at
the too. and was enolosed for its full
length with a fenoe five feet high.
There was a street immediately east of
the premises sixty feet in width and
running nortn ana soma mere was an
alley twenty feet wide on the west side of
the premises running north and south
and an alley of same width north and
runninx east and west.
The half square state property on the
west of this propei ty fronting 130 feet on
College avenue and oooupying all the
spnoe between the Rust premises and
Brazos street was always open and as
free to travel as a street. A wagon or a
buggy could be driven along College av
enue between the rail io ad track and the
Rust- promises' but it could not
be readily turned in this space.
The road was built about May 1 1883 and
was in oonstant use until about January
15 1888 when it wiis removed and tbe
street graded a direoted by the munioipal
authorities of the oity of Austin.
The railroad was neoessary in the bund
ing of the state capitol and was author-
ized by implication in the contract
between tho state and Abner
Taylor. It was looated and its
grade established by said municipal au-
thorities. It was properly constructed
carefully operated and removed as soon
as it was practicable to dispense with its
use.
The evidence showed that the property
is now of greater value than when the
road was plaoed in the street
and that its surroundings have been re-
stored by the removal of the railroad.
The evidence also showed that the parties
occupying the premises bad suffered some
inoonvenience and annoyance from the
presenoe and operation of the road but
there was no depreciation in the value of
the property. It was also shown that its
rental value was decreased considerably
during the time the road was in the
street bat it was never rented nor offered
for rent.
The defendant claimed exemption from
liability for any consequential injuries
growing out of the location and operation
of the road beoause it was a neoessary
appliance in the construction of the build-
ing and beoause it was looated and oper-
ated under lioense of law and by authority
of the state and city; and beoause it had
been removed without delay as soon as its
use could be dispensed with and the
street duly restored to a safe condition
for travel; and beoause there had been no
depreciation in the value of the property;
and because the plaintiffs were not en-
titled .to reoover damages for
inoonvenience incident to the prose -oution
of a public work.
The oourt Judge Don A. Pardee pre-
siding charged the jury in substanoe that
if the railroad was looated and built upon
College avenue by authority of the state
and city by Abner Taylor as contractor
for building the state oapitol and if suoh
road was properly oonstruoted and lo-
oated at the place and on the grade desig-
nated by the oity authorities defendant
using no more of the street than was nec-
essary and if the railroad was kept on the
Btieet no longer than was reasonably neo-
essary to convey the material to the state
capitol and if the propei ty of plaintiffs
had' not been in faot depredated in its
value then that plaintiffs could not re-
oover. The oourt also charged that if these faotB
did not exist but on the contrary as al-
leged by plaintiffs then that plaintiffs
should recovor actual damages in de-
creased value of property and rents.
Tbe verdiot was in favor of defendant.

POSTAL TELEGBAPH.
Speech of Journalist Jones at the National
Publishers' Meeting.
Indunapow Ind. February 9. At the
meeting of the National Publishers' asso
ciation to day "Government Control of the
Telegraph" was the topio assigned to Col.
C. N. Jones of the Jacksonville Florida
Times and he disoussed it in a carefully
prepared paper. He begun by saying
that he proposed to deal with the subject
in a practicable way for the reason that
he regarded it as very practicable. Tho
strongest argument in behalf of a govern
ment telegraph Bj stem and! tbe oue tbat
is most relied upon is that it
would be cheaper and most of the ad-
vocates of government control seem to
think the argumeut is closed when this as
sertion is made. The speaker however
felt constrained to say that the expense of
this and other countries with government
work furnishes no reason for believing
that exceptional cheapness would be a
feature of it. The cbaraoterisuo tauic or
all work done by the government is oumb-
rousness and oostliness. Whenever the
government wants work done at a reason-
able price that work is let out by contract.
Tbe government might make lower rates
for telegraphing than would be
made by any private corporation be
oause the latter must make expenses and
pay for betterments and improvements
or its plaoe in the business world will
soon be vacant. The government if it
so chooses can fix a rate less than cost
and make up the deficit by taxation and
this is precisely what would be done by
the United States government if the ex-
perience of other countries having a
government telegraph system is any
uriterino. Colonel Jones then gave sta-
tistics showing that in Great Britain the
defioit in operating the government
telegraph had increased from $G62-
621 " in 1881 to " $2349200 in
1886. This defioit must be made
erood by taxation and is suoh taxa
tion justified on the ground that it is a
publio benefit ? In 1887 over 47000000
messages were handled by the
Western Union Telegraph company and
these were sent by less than 1000000
people. The whole of the telegraphing
in the United States is done by less than
two per cent of the population. These
make it plain tbat to cheapen telegrapny
by roduoing tbe rates below cost and mas
ing up the deficit by taxation means to
tax ninety-eight per oent of tbe people
who never use the telegraph for the bene-
fit of stock brokers speculators gamblers
pool men buoket shop proprietors and
sporting men generally who have sent
eighty-seven per oent of the messages.
Not only is this unjustifiable on grounds
of publio policy but it Is unjustifiable on
purely business grounds. The men who
send these messnges make no complaint
of the cost because it oomes on as a part
of the legitimate and neoessary expenses
of their business. The only considerable
body of men asking for a reduction of
talegraph tolls are the Knights of Labor
.not one in a hundred of whom use the
telegraph. These miguided people are
simply asking the government to tax
them for the benefit Of a class of
people toward whom they are so
irreconcilably hostile that membership In
their organization is prohibited them.
These are considerations whioh determine
us against the soheme of a government
telegraph on grounds connected with the
public welfare. The speaker then con-
sidered the subjeot from the point of
view of a praotioal neVspaper man.
The newspapers of the United States
he said are now employing the cheapest
and most efficient telegraph servioe of
any newspapers in the world. The British
telegraph press rate is 25 cents for seventy-five
words daring the day and 25
cents for 100 words at night to each plaoe
where but one paper is served and 4 cents
for seventy-five words during the
day and 4 cents for 100
words at night for each additional paper
served. Other figures were given by the
speaker showing that viewed in any way
possible the American press rate ie now
oheaper than the same servioe in England
from one-fifth to one-half. These figures
apply to the service of press associations
the cost of special telegraph service in the
United States being one-half oent per
word and in Great Britain one-third
cent per word. In the United States
however the distance is an average of
four times greater than in England. The
bill introduced by Senator Cnllom pro-
vides that the night rate for a news-
paper dispatch when the same dispatch
goes to more than one offioe shall be 25
cents per hundred words. This is more than
twice the rate now oharged by the Western
Union for transmitting Associated Press
reports and ten times the rates charged
by the same oompany when the reports
are delivered by leased wires to four or
five papers in the same oity.
The truth is that the substitution of a
government telegraph service for that of
he Western Union on the basis of the
Cullom bill would speedily result in one
of two things: Either the bankruptcy
of a large proportion of the
new8Danera away from the great
centers or in depriving the publio
of a very large proportion or tne news or
the world whioh it now enjoys through
the daily newspapers. Nothing so far
reaching in its effeot upon the press of
tbe country has ever been proposed in
congress. It wonld be about the eame as
if oongress should enact a law legislating
out of existence half the daily papers of
the country and putting the remainder on
short rations as regards tbe telegraphic
news servioe; but even this is not tbe most
serious objeotion from a newspaper man's
point of view. The mere suspicion that
the news had been subjected to- govern-
ment inspection or censorship would re-
duce by at least one-half the
the value of the news to newspaper pub-
lishers and to the general publio. A
memorable illustration of publio resent-
ment at the suspicion that the news had
been doctored was furnished in connec-
tion with the eleotion returns of the As-
sociated Press at the presidential eleotion
in 1884. Whether rightly or wrongly as
the speaker believed a belief gained
oredenoe that the Assooiated Press and
the Western Union Telegraph oompany
had dootered the returns from New York
state in the interest of Blaine. The feel-
ing aroused by this was so intense in New
York city that it oame near leading to the
mobbing of Jay Gould and
even in Jacksonville where the
speaker publishes an Assooi-
ated Press newspaper tbe feeling
ran so high as for a time to endanger
the value of the fanchise. What value
would the publio attach to the news in
emergencies of this kind if they knew
that its transmission was through the
medium of government employes whioh
nnder existing political methods means
the employes of that party in powerf
It is no argument to say that there is
no oom plaint against the government
mail service in this respeot. The con-
tents of letters oannot be made known
without violation of law and without a
serious risk of deteotion. On the other
hand with the telegraph under its control
government offioials would have
every pportumty to beoome acquainted
with every detail of the business of firms
corporations and the secrets of political
parties and party leaders lo say tbat
the officials would not utilize this oppor-
tunity whenever they possessed it would
be to exhibit the guiltless mnooenoe of
the heathen Chinee and moreover it is
contradioted by the faots to anything ex
perienced iu other countries where the
telegraph is under government oontrol.
In oontmental Europe this espionage
is so notorious that every man who sends
a telegram assumes as a matter of oourse
that it will be scrutinized by govern-
ment officials if its. contents are im-
portant or in the loast suspicions. Even
in England the same oondition of affairs
exists in a modified sense. A fair infer-
ence from these faots is that in the oase
of the most useful and valuable news that
is obtained by the newspaper publisher
or editor the supply would be at once out
off. That it would enormously oomplioate
the difficulties of running a political cam-
paign in this oountry no one oan doubt;
that it would put an enormous advantage
into the bands of the party in power no
one will question.
In oouolusion Colonel Jones said:
"That it would put into the hands
of the politician a deadly weapon
against the press whioh they
would be constantly tempted to use is too
indisputably true to be denied. Public
confidence in the trustworthy oharaoter of
that news is perhaps the ohief element
of its value. Anything tbat would tend
to impair that ooufideuoe would by so
much impair the commercial value of the
news. Speaking for myself as a vender
of news I say uaqualifldely that I want
no news that has been subjeoted to even
the suspicion of government supervision
or partisan espionage."

A "Put and Call."
This is a funny phrase to the nnini
tiated but all the brokers understand it
They use it when a person gives a oertain
per oent. for the option of buying or sell-
ing stook on a fixed day at a prioe stated
on the day the option is given. It is often
a serious operation to the dealer but
there is a more serious "put and call"

A WOMAN'S DISCOVERY.
"Another wonderful disoovery has been
made and that too by a lady in this
oounty. Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with-
stood its severest tests but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months she
ooughed inoessantly and oould not sleep.
She bought of us a bottle of Dr. King's
New Disoovery for consumption and was
so mnoh relieved on taking first dose that
she slept all night and with one bottle
has been miraculously oured. He name is
Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus write W. C.
