Tho associated afternoon press dis
patches which are the property of the

a niece of news so thrilling, and so
laden with matter ct portent that it
was given to the public in advance of
publication. Tho bulletin pasted un
der tho Day headlines on tho Pacific
hotel corner wall has been surrounded
all the afternoon by crowds, the news
spread liko wild-fire and tho city is in
ferment as must bo all tho rest of the
United States. Tho following is the
dispatch:
St. Louis, March 15. Tho Globe
Democrat prints a cable special from
Breslau, Germany, which says the
German Shleisohe Zcitung (newspaper)
prints' tho following privato telegram

Tho German frigate Olgo has bom
barded King Mataafa's camp. The
captain of tho American man-of-war
protested, but seeing his protest dis
regarded opened fire on the Olga. A
shell burst between the decks of the
German frigate doing much damage,
Tho Olga then directed a torpedd at
tho American ship, blowing her up
with all hands. Tho startling news, if
true, will set tho country afire, and can
havo but one result. The United States
will hold its breath for the next few
hours, while tho startling news is being
verified or proved false.

POLICE COURT.
In tho police court this morning a
woe-begono man of middle age, fast
ened and bound in the grip of the
whisky fiend, plead guilty to intoxica
tion and was fined $1.00.
A handsome young man, charged
with drumming on tho depot platforms,
was again present in court, anxious to
be tried, but the witness for the de
fenco was not present. He had ap
peared before but the witness had
not appeared, and a subpoena was served
on the witness. The witnoss had told
tho officer he was very sorry but he
had to go off on a trip and could not
appear, and packed his grip and went.
The case was again continued to next
Monday when the young man will
dance attendance again.
After several notices a capias was
issued against a prominent citizen ,
charged with obstructing the sidewalk
and the court took a short recess to en
able tho p. c. to be brought into court
when mutual explanations and apoli
gics were tendered and defendant dis
charged. s
Died.
This morning at G o'clock at the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. T. O. Smith,
South Fourth street, Mrs. Sarah 'U.
Robertson, wife of Gen. Felix D. Rob
ertson, of pneumonia. Tho funeral will
take place at the Episcopal ohurch at
3p.m.to-morrow,Rev.DeHartoffioiating.
Mrs. Robertson was the daughter of
Capt. Jack Davis, of Tennessee, and
was married to Gen. Felix Robertson
in Tennessee, September 18th, 18G4.
Tho newly married people moved to
Texas in 18G5, and nettled in Wash
ington county, from whence they mov
ed to MoLennan county in 186!), and
to Waco in 1875.
Tho deceased leaves three children
living, Miss Julia, Felix and Sallie,
tho youngest a girl of nino years.
The city will mourn with the be
reaved relatives in the loss of one
whoso graces and virtues endeared her
to all who knew her. Of eminent, social
naturo, and with a heart filled with
lovo and tenderness and a soul going
out in pity for the suffering, her char
ities were liko tho dew and her liio
made tho world brighter for all with
in tho circle in which sho dwelt. Sho
died a Christian woman with the re
cord of a good and useful life, and
will be buried w;th that christian faith
which!soes in tho death of tho pure, on
ly a sleep and an awakening.

Tho mayor called attention to tho

paid no license.
In regard to a petition at provious
meeting of Tom Gumnult asking pay
for injuries to his team caused by
fright at the fire engine, the commit
teo reported adversely, finding tho fire
men not to blame for tho runaway.
In regard to a similar petition from
Capt. T. A. Blair, asking pay for ono
horse killed and another injured on tho
Fifth street bridge, which potition was
presented at the last meeting and re
ferred to a committee, the petition was
last night referred to the city attorney
with instructions to investigate tho
liability of tho city in the promises.
Tho petition of Goldsmith & Gor
man, asking leave to erect slaughtt r

tion. 9 m

At the request of Alderman Lacy,
Mr. Joney Jones, the city secretary,
prepared and presented at the council
last night a statement of the condition
of the city finances. The report was
incomplete, as it presented only the in
debtedness of the city, without taking
into account the assets of the city.
But from another point of view the
report was sufficiently complete. By
a comparison with the income ot tno
city it was sufficient to show that the
incomo of tho oity whioh, at 1 1-2 per
cent, on 15,000,000 assessed taxable
property is only $75,000, is insuffic
ient to pay current indebtedness and
onrrent expenses.
The result any ono can seo at a
glance, and it is not a pleasant thing
to contemplate, but the city taxes will
have to bo raised. The rate of $1,50 per
hundred is insufficient and the rate
must be made hiuhor the piescnt
year.
Tho object in securing the statement
was for the guidance of the council in
fixing the rato of taxation for the cur
rent year, and we regret to state, as
our property-holding readers will re
gret to hear, that the rate of taxation
must be raised.
Property owners, who will bavo to
grin and bear it, may console them
selves with tho reflection that Waco
has been especially favored with low
taxes, and oven a slight incrcaso will
still leave them lower than in other
cities.
What tho new rato of taxation will
bo cannot bo determined by tho still
incomplete figures, but tho increase
will only bo small and Waco has much
to show lor it in improvements.

pass on the question of the rights of

leges, although the school committee
was instructed to report ou tho same
at the last night's council.
A most enjoyablo affair, whioh comes

Tho colored man who rued in a
horso trado yesterday and refused to

touch tho horse which was tied to a
telegraph polo on Franklin street,Uand

This morning Policeman Hall, in pity
for the animal, took it to a wagon yard
and had it fed.
But little had been dono at noon to

mitteemen have boon around with the
lists with very satisfactory results.
By late this afternoon or to-morrow
morning the committee will bo fairly
at work. From indications the cotton
mill subscription is going to be raised.
Beyond a doubt, MoLennan county

collectors in the state, or out of it.
Over two months has elapsed sinoo the

books and publish tho names of all de
linquents, but ho is still anxiously
waiting for some, who rank as good
oitizens, to savo him the disagreeable
duty of publishing them to the world
as bad pay. The limit of his disoro
tion in tho matter, however, has about
been reached, and in a few days ho
will bo compelled to publish his list of
delinquents, "let tho chips fall whore
tboy may."
A bit of gambling extraordinary was
practiced on tho publio square last
mgiit uy a soap man ana a creuuious
crowd. Tho trick was to display prizes
in paoKBgcs oi soap ana sell the soap
with tho chanco of a prize in the paok-
ago bought. A brisk business was
dono and the soap man was evidently
about a hundred dollars ahead at the
end of tho game.
In one game the limit was five
dollars and eight persons chinned in
fivo dollars caoh on the understanding
that any obo of tho oight drawing a
prize the soap man would give to caoh
one the same amount the lucky man
should draw. The last man drew $1
and each of the eight got $1 each,

Alderman C. 0. McCullooh, as will
bo seen in to-days's announcements, is
a candidate for re-election from the
First ward. His so r vices to the .city
have been so valuable that ihe First
ward cannot afford to lose him. He
has given careful painstaking labor to
the city, and has used his fine ability
and sound business sense for her in
terests as for his own, and it will not

His fino business ability, scund practi
cal and progressive ideas combined
with rational conservatism will make
his election a valuable acquisition to
the counoils of the city at a critical
juncture.
