The great strike which has
burdened the press dispatches
for the last ten days has about
subsided. The strike on the
Texas and Pacific is at an end
and business is resumed as usual.
Also on the M. K. and T. and
Missouri Pacific roads. Re-
ports come from nearly all im-
portant points, that quiet again
prevails, and business is re-
sumed.
The total number of persons
killed at Pittsburg, Baltimore
and Chicago is summed up as
eighty.
At St. Louis a great many
arrests of strikers have been
made and the jails are nearly
all full.

the Oyster creek, Caney and

steal; and it seems about equal-
ly clear, that in so far as the
action of Commissioner Groos
goes, the steal is covered by
forms oi law. By the terms of
the Statute, the governor was
to appoint certain commission
ers and an inspector. The com
missioners were to let out the
contract, the inspector was to
report to the comptroller what
work was done. The comptroll-
er -was to certify the report to
the land commissioner, and
thereupon, the 'land commis-
sioner was to issue the certifi-
cates, all of which seems to
have been done. As a matter
of fact, however, the work Certi-
fied to by the .inspector never
had been done; the inspector's
report was a fraud, and of that
fraud, Commissioner Gross was

To-day an election will be
held throughout the county on
the local option or more proper-
ly prohibition law. Ballots will
be cast, for prohibition; against
prohibition; as the case may be.
There has been but comparitive-
ly little interest manifested in
the canvass. An ante-prohibi-
tion meeting was held in this
city and a committee appointed
which prepared and circulated
an address against local option.
So for as the Banner has oebn
able to learn the prohibitionists
have taken no action. The
Brenham United Friends of
Temperance at a regular meet-
ing passed resolutions requesting
members of the organization to
abstain trom voting on tbe prop-
osition. Tl*e probability is that
a very stnall vote will be polled.
Miscegenation.—In tb© Dis-

strong language: uAs the mat-
ter now stands Mr. Groos has
made no defence that justifies
the enormous wrong lie
perpetrated on the good people
ot our State." Judge Ireland as
the legal advisor and friend of
the commissioner is not placed
in an enviable position.
Four prisoners cut a hole in

Harris county offers $26 a head
for the capture of the birds.
A Wago merchant was ex-
hibiting several boxes ot fiue
