and imprisonment from six months to two
j ears. The biil passed without debate.
House bill prescribing the subject matter
of annual reports of railway companies
required to he made to the comptroller;
passed. Tlw old law on the subject is
changed only so far as to require more
specific report as to the lands recieved
from the state, and is the outcome of the
late attorney-general's experience and re-
commendations.
House hill making it a felony to wantonly
and malicously destroy, damage or injure
property under the value of $20; passed to
engrossment. This bill takes iu cases of
killing engines, etc., by strikers.
EHouse bill requiring railway companies
to furnish double deck cars for the trans-
portation of hogs, sheep and goats passed
to engrossment and finally under a sus-
pension of the rules.
House joint resolution to submit the con-
stitutional amendment adopting the ju-
diciary article formulated by the State Bur
association passed to engrossment.
House bill requiring foreign corporations
to file a copy of their charters with the sec-
retary of state to transact business iu Tex-
as passed to engrossment.
Senate bill requiring railway companies
to give employes thirty days notice of re-
duction of wages passed.
House bill to give county courts appellate
jurisdiction over all cases from justice
courts was defeated upon the argument
made against it as being in the interest of
railway companies, that fight every claim
and appeal every case, the vote sUndiug 10
ayes, 6'5 nays.
The senate bill to create the commission
of appeals of Texas, being the old commis-
sion of arbitrations and awards, to aid the
bupreme Court,which has again run behind
the business on its docket. The bill appro-
priates $20,000 for the court, and was con-
sidered in committee of the whole. The bill
was opposed on the ground that it would
defer the adoption of a proper judiciary
article; that the commission's decisions
have been satisfactory, and it merely cre-
ates three more salaried places. The com-
mittee adopted the appropriation, reported
hack, and the House adjourned until to-
receipt and its filing into some pigeon-hole
by some committee clerk. Somewhere it
provides in simple and ordinary to fair
English that coyote scalps shall be worth
60 cents each before any commissioners
court in the state, while " loafer" wolves
soar to the height of $2. Home sheepmen
estimate their loss by wild animals at 30
per cent., but they probably class the
Mexican shepherd among Hio Grande
fauna.
THE LAND EILL3.
a policy of delay.
Austin, Tex., March 8.—The opponents
of land leasing and land legislation have
adopted the systematic policy of delay, and
apparently with fair prospects of success.
The senate land bill, known as the Mc-
Donald bill, has been printed and is before
the house committee. The house bill on
the same line, and much the same as the
senate bill, was the special order in the
House to-day, and lost its position by a sly
motion to lay on the speaker's tabls, sub-
ject to call, which was carried. No one
could be found to object, as the argument
was made that it would be in a convenient
position to consider when the senate bill is
reported back for action. But when will the
committee get through with the senate bill?
Pridav ends the sixty days session, and
after that members working for $2 a day
will want to get away as quickly as can be.
If the land committee don't report back
quickly the chances are the members will
never Hgree with the Senate on either land
bill.
ASYLUMS COMMITTEE
morrow without action on the bill.
THE BRYAN COLLEGE.
committee op investigation.
Bryan, Tex,, March 8.—The committee
appointed to investigate the conduct of the
Agricultural and Mechanical college, and
especially to inquire into the causes of the
discharge of General W. P. Hardeman,
went to worir and continued till a late hour
last night. The committee carried on the
investigation at the college. At an in-
formal meeting during the day it was ascer-
tained that a copy of General Hardeman's
complaints had not been served on the
board of directors, which Cavitt, the presi-
dent of the board, insisted should be done.
A recess was taken till 8 p. m. in order that
the copy might be made and served, and
the answer if the board might be pre-
pared. At that hour General Harde-
man, who was represented by Boone
& Davis, the latter alone being pre-
sent, read the charges. Briefly they
were as follows: The board discharged
Hardeman on account of his bad health.
He was given a leave of absence for three
months on full pay. The leave of absence
states that the board was ihaking improve-
ments about the college and the Prairie
View Normal, which required his constant
attention, and intimated that his health for-
bade such necessary attention. All of this
he denies emphatically. Ho says ho wis
Iff1? slightly indisposed wi';h a fever, and
that there were no such improvements as
he could not attend to. He did not apply
for a .eave of absence, and did not want
one, and was never notified that ho was to
be given one. in fact, from his charges, it
appears that the board had
determined to get rid of him
and adopted the plan to carry out their in-
tentions. He says he was the purchasing
agent of the institution, and as such was
careful and economical. He purchased
where he could buy the cheapest, and in ail
things did what he thought was best for
the schools and the state, and that in buy-
ing where he could buy the cheapest and
auditing accounts he may have created an-
tagonisms and may have been in the way
of those who may have thought that they
were deprived of opportunities of making
larger profits or of indulging in specula-
tion or peculation. It will be noticed that
he makes no direct charges but indulges in
guesses as to the cause of his
discharge. Cavitt's answer was in
effect that the board thought it
to the best interest of the school, ana hence
removed Hardeman. The committee then
reread its instructions from the legislature,
which left the question of investigation into
the case of Hardeman at the committee's
discretion. It took but a few moments to
conclude that the law invested the board
with full power to create and abolish in-
ferior offices and naturally to remove those
who held them. Into the matter of pecula-
tion it went further and inquired of Gen-
eral Hardeman and all others who knew of
anything wrong to present such wrongs to
the board. He recited a case of charging
pupils more for mathematical instruments
than they cost the professor who ordered
them. He
CALLED THE BOARD'S ATTENTION
to this and they adopted a rule that here-
after supplies of this kind should come
through the stationery or purchasing de-
partment. The professor who was charged
with this offense declared his willingness
to have the whole matter investigated and
said he thought he had the bill and would
be glad to tell the committee all he knew.
General Hardeman also called attention
to the employment of a matron at Prairie
v lew school as a teacher while another
teacher was away, and the payment to her
of $50 a month for two months over and
above her pay ss matron. This the com-
mittee failed to look on as wrong. There
was a great amount of talking
in the investigation. Cavitt, for the
board of directors asked a full and com-
plete investigation of everything connected
with the school. General Hardeman wanted
an explanation of why he was discharged.
Mr. Cavitt announced'that he and the board
had the greatest respect for Hardeman;
knew his honesty and integrity, but that
the board thought it could get some one
to better fill Hardeman's place, and
hence his removal. There was some talk
about General Hardeman's having made a
contract for beef for 5}{ cents a pound and
afterward receiving a proposition to fur-
nish it at 4a cents, but beef was high when
the 6K contract was made. This is about
the end of the investigation. The
committee examines into the charge about
an overcharge for mathematical instru-
ments, but after all the report will be that
it find8 the school well conducted, in good
condition, and asks that more atteution be
paid by the legislature in building up the
mechanical department. They were highly
pleased with this feature of the institution.
In fact, they expressed themselves as gener-
ally pleased with the entire conduct of the
school. It will visit the Prairie View Nor-
mal school this evening, and go to the
HuuiEville school to-morrow.
discussing a state orphanage.
Austin, Tex., March 8.—There was a
meeting of the asylums committee of the
House and Senate to-night to consider the
bill to establish a state orphan asylum.
Mrs. Barnes and Mrs. Cogshall were before
the committee to represent the ladies of
Austin, who have subscribed $1000 toward
the enterprise. It was represented that the
state already has $4200 permanent and $8000
available fund on hand for such an
asylum provided for by the act of a pre
vious lecislature. The committeee agreed
to report the bill favorably, recommending
additional appropriations of $6000 for the
purchase of a suitable building and1$2">00
a year for the running expenses for two
years. The age for admission is limited to
not over 14 years, and the place for the lo-
cation of the asylum is left blank.
THAT KANSAS SUIT
approved by the senate.
Austin, Tex., March 8.—Some davs ago
the Senate passed the Kansas suit bill and
Eent it over to the House. Then on motion
of Mr. Pope of Harrison they asked for it
back again and got it. To-day it came up
on motion to reconsider the vote by which
it finally passed. Mr, Burges of Guadalupe
made a speech against it which his col-
leagues characterized as an aggravated
form of rhetorical chestnut. Anyhow, ao
coiding to his belief, Texas was going into
court with about as little case as anybody
ever saw. On motion of Mr. Bell the mo-
tion to reconsider-was tabled, and the bill
goes back to the House with the stamp of
Senate approval on it by just one majority.
Outsiders are fond of saying that the mea-
sure should be entitled an act to relinquish
all claim to Greer county.
CLAIBORNE'S RESOLUTION
seems to have disappeared.
Austin, Tex., March 8.—Since its intro-
duction yesterday nothing has been heard
of John Marshall Claiborne's resolution to
hold three sessions a day. It was confi-
dently expected by his friends that it would
bob up serenely in the early morn, but it
was more than conspicuous by its absence.
11 has been suggested that if the Henatn
really wishes to earn its per diem an early
morning session in addition to the other
three would be about the proper caper, but
no concurrent resolution to that effect has
yet shown up. In this connection it may be
remarked that the number of economic and
hard labor measures which put in a transi-
tory appearance during one sitting are as
the fleas in Gonzales county—perfectly il-
limitable.
THE DEFICIENCY BILL
considerably amended.
Austin, Tex., March 8.—The Senate has
manifested every disposition to come to an
agieement on the deficiency bill, and that
measure may now be regarded as an ac-
complished fact. It has been considerably
amended, but does not put up any great
amount of mosey after all. The general
appropriation, which is being engineered
by Representative Gresham, like Scott's
soldier, up to date has slept the sleep that
knows no waking. Its father has promised
to bring it into the world before the close
of the week, but there is a nipping and an
eager air around the capitol which scents
strongly of adjournment, and he has not
much time left in which to shove it through
the gauntlet of both houses and a myriad
of committee clerks.
STATE CAPITAL NOTES.
THE WOLF-SCALP BILL.
its present condition.
Austin, Tex., March 8.—For weeks the
entire west has hung poised upon the fate
of that celebrated measure which has come
to be known as the wolf-scalp bill. So im-
portant has it become that some three
week6 ago a lobby composed of one man
and a box of cigars developed in its favor.
The cigars played out, however, and the
man moseyed, and since then it has taken
its chances with the general rack. To-day
the Senate took hold of it, and with some
opposition passed it to engrossment.
There are just enough people against it to
show that it will meet opposition in
reaching its perfected state through the
medium of the upper body. Just what the
House will do with it remains to be seen.
It will hardly reach them in time for fur-
tier action than »a acknowledgment o£ its
supreme court.
Austin, Tex., March 8.—A joint resolu-
tion was introdnced in the House to-day to
require the submission to the people of a
constitutional amendment to domicile the
Supreme Court at Austin, discontinuing the
sittings at Tyler and Galveston. Austin
would also like to have all the district
courts pooled, consolidated and locator! at
the capital. Eyery session the above
proposition comes up with the punotu ility
of tl.e bill to validate county bridge b jnds.
occupation taxes.
The defeat of the occupation tax 1. .11 in
the House leaves the tax unchanged. The
House started out some weeks ago very
strongly in favor of that bill, or of any bill
that would tax every occupation in the land,
but in the meantime has found that the
taxes are already high enough and far-
reaching enough, and the trouble is that
they are not collected. While nine out of
ten members believe if the comptroller was
furnished means and authority to employ
four or five active revenue agents to visit
and whoop-up county tax-collectors and in-
vestigate violations of the law by saloon-
keepers, the cost of such inspections
not exceeding $15,000, would increase
the revenue $200,000 at least, yet
they are afraid of the experi-
ment at any cost. That something
of the kind is required is generally conced-
ed, and that the revenue from occupation
taxes will gradually decrease, as in the past
three years, is certain, but the legislature
is in mortal dread of the responsibility of
adopting any measure that will force taxes
out of anything except property.
Among the bills enrolled arid sent down
to the governor to-day are included the sen-
ate strikers bill, to punish interference
with employes; senate bill to punish the
person who uses language calculated to
provoke a breach of the peace, and the sen-
ate bill to punish unlawful conversion of
personal property by the hirer, borrower
or bailee thereof. It seems that the saaate
bills are all getting through, while tbe
house bills are piled up in senate commit-
tees and on the president's desk. The five
bills sent down to the governor to-day are
all senate bills.
concerning corporations.
The house bill which passed to engross-
ment to-day, authorizing corporations char-
tered out of Texas to transact business in
Texas by filing certified copies of their
charters in the secretary of state's office
and obtaining permits, will probably ren-
der it unnecessary to organize a great many
corporations in Texas, which might other-
wise be organized under the bill. Iu fact,
the Texas general incorporation act may
be considered a very useless concern. It
will be an interesting question to what ex-
tent the outside corporation may exercise J
corporate powers in Texas under the r-
mit completed.
railroad reports.
In amending the law requiring raiHy
companies to make qjinual reports toie
comptroller the principal defect in theld
law is not cured. The report require! r.st
contain a very full statement of its recets
from all sources, but the clause requiri: a
statement of expenses includes only he
amount paid for certain named purpos,
and does not include running expeas,
fuel, etc. It appears that no object at-
tained by learning the amount ot recots
without also haying a statement ofix-
penses, including the cost of fuel, intefit,
payments and other expenses.
state geologist.

ate the office of state geologist prov e *

verick county, who had served a portionof
his sentence. He was restored to thebosan

CHARTERED.
The attorney-general advises th< secre-
tary of state that charters expired bylimita-
tion can not be renewed by charter jmend-
ment. The Kellum & Rotan Investment
company of Waco was chartered:o-day;
capital, $50,000; incorporators, H. Pickett,
J. R. Kellum, A. M. Gribble, T. N.McMul-
len and C. Rotan.
railway bills.
The house railway committee this after-
noon agreed to favorably report ot the fol-
lowing bills, viz: Mr. Kirlick's bill, re-
quiring railroad companies to keep the
right of way clear of grass liable to spread
prairie fires; Mr. Alexander's bill, requir-
ing railroad companies to provide oirs for
the prompt transportation of freighti, with
severe penalty for failure to do so; jenate
pill) requiring railway companies having
their tracks inclosed to keep a passageway
across same every mile and a halt The
vote in the committee on the Alexander bill
was 5 to 4, and a minority adverse report
may lie wade.
MINERALS,
Iron and Coal Discovered in the Vicinity of San
Angelo.
San Angelo, Tex., March 7.—On the land
of Jonathan Mills, three miles from San
Angelo, there are several acres of suface
croppings of iron ore. This is on high,
elevated land. Lower down is evidence of
a large lead, in which quantities of solder
are found in abundance. Several parties
visited the place yesterday and examined
the ore carefully, and some of the metal
was brought to town and placed in a char-
coal furnace and it turned to a white heat
and gave all evidence of being first-class
iron ore, and on being tested with nitric
acid it was found also to contain quicksil-
ver. During the past week fine specimens
of coal have been brought to town. The
parties will not give the exact locality at
which it is found. Considerable excitement
prevails over this discovery. There is
plenty of water to be had where the iron is
"ound.
DALLA8.
Failed to Identify Them—A Haunted House
in the Second Ward.
Dallas, Tex., March 8.—Pitts, Crow and
Cole, tbe parties suspected of robbing the
Fort Worth and Denver passenger train
about two months ago, had an examining
trial to-day before United States Commis-
sioner Burford, which resulted in their dis-
charge, the government having failed to
identify them.
The Second ward, which went so strong-
ly for Barney Gibbs, is excited over the ap-
pearance of a ghost, which for upward of a
week has taken possession of an old dwell-
ling to the terror of the inmates, who night-
ly have had cold hands, with a death like
feeling, placed on their faces, with other
terrifying manifestations present, such as
a pounding on the walls and a general dis-
turbance of the furniture. Last night the
bed in which the heads of the family sleep
was lifted up bodily and thrown across the
floor, scaring the wits out of the lady.
Neighbors who have volunteered guard
duty on the premises certify that if the evi
dence of their senses can be relied upon,
the house is certainly haunted. Its occu-
pants moved out to-day, but volunteer par-
tics will take their place to explore the
mystery if possible.
FORT WORTH FLASHES.
Northwest Texas Cattlemen's Convention—
The Work of the Year—Other
Local Events.
Rusk.
Rusk, Tex., March 8. — The Democratic
primaries were held in all the precincts in
this county yesterday, and the result in all
but one or two remote precincts where ac-
tion could not change the result, has been
received. The county has gone over-
whelmingly for Perkins for Congress, in-
suring a solid delegation for him to the Dis-
trict convention. Extraordinary itfterest
was manifested throughout the county. The
candidacy of John B. Lang, as the "far-
mers candidate," made no impression, the
great majority of representative farmers
belonging, many of them, to the grange and
alliance, with ail the other classes support-
ing Perkins.
Instructed forNunn.
Crockett, Tex., March 8.—A convention
of the Houston county Democracy was held
here to day in pursuance of the call of the
county chairman to elect delegates to the
Congressional convention. It was attend-
ed by full delegations from all portions of
the county and was one of the most enthu-
siastic-conventions of delegates ever held
in the county. Resolutions were unani-
mously adopted unqualifiedly indorsing
Colonel D A. Sunn for congressman aua
recommending him to the people of the
district. Thirty delegates were chosen and
instruc ted to support Colony Nunn and use
«11 fair and honorable means to secure his
nomination at Palestine.

Fort Worth, March 8.—The Northwest
Texas Cattlemen's association began its
eleventh annual session here this morning,
the meeting being called to order in the
Opera-house by the venerable president,
Colonel Kit Carter, who introduced Rev.
Dr. Mitchell of the Presbyterian church,
who invoked a divine blessing on the con-
vention and its members. Mayor Brails
then in a well-worded address welcomed
the members of the association to Fort
Worth. The secretary, J. C. Loving, then
read the minutes of the previous meetings
of the past year, which were adopted.
The report of the executive committee for
tbe past year was read. It detailed the ex-
cellent work of the association during the
year. This work covered the selection of
proper men as inspectors, detectives, etc.,
who, by their efforts recovered 1016 head
of cattle belonging to members of the as-
sociation, and returned the same to their
ranches.
The financial operations of the executive
committee in the way of receipts and ex-
penditures embraced for the year: Re-
ceipts, $12,639 43, and expenses, $12,645 15.
During the year seven new members were
admitted, representing 62,000 head of cattle.
An interesting feature of this report was
the exhibit made of the protection given
the members through the detective depart-
ment,which was established four years ago.
The following table shows the number of
cattle recovered and the valuation thereof:
Year. Read recovered. Value.
1883. sco $12,500
'S8< 853 21,350
18SB 1H4 22,880
1866.... 16,256
Total value $72,961
The expense of this work aggregated $53,-
448 75, and was a clear gain of $19,512 75.
The increase in the number of cattle thieves
caught from year to year is attributed to
the improved efficiency of the protective
department rather than to an increase in
crime.
After the reading of the executive com-
mittee's report the meeting adjourned till 2
o'clock this afterLoon.
At 2.30 o'clock the meeting was called to
order, an increase in the attendance being
noticeable, but in view of the absence of a
number of members who are uecessarily
variously occupied outside the meeting,
Mr. A. P. Bush, Jr., moved ah adjournment,
which was taken until 10 o'clock to-morrow
morning, at which hour the president said
he hoped that all the members would be
promptly present.
The members of the refrigerator commit-
tee appointed by the Dallas convention
visited the refrigerator works here to day
and expressed themselves highly pleased
with them, saying that they were in better
condition and of a more extensive charac-
ter than they expected to find them. No
definite action will be taken on the re-
frigerator question until Secretary Selig-
son arrives.
The convention is well attended, and the
members of the association are as fine a
body of men as can be found in the country.
The City Democratic convention com-
pleted its labors to-day by the nomination
of W. T. Maddox for marshal; H. R. Early,
city secretary; J. G. Massey, assessor; W.
B. King, engineer, and K. M. Van Zandt,
treasurer.

Are We to Become a Nation of Lunatics?
At the present rate of increase, in eighty-
nine years one-fourth of the American peo-
ple will be in the mad-house. This is a very
serious thing to contemplate. The cause is
well known. The law can not reach it. Gi-
gantic business enterprises, sharp competi-
tion, violent excitements, rivalries, over-
work, drunkenness, high living,etc.,will con-
tinue for all the preaching that can be pro-
duced. People imagine they want a thing,
and they generally get it. If it hurts them,
they patent medicine themselves out of it.

country is flooded with it, and already its
sales are enormous.
