The Minerva Association Entertain Their
Friends on the Bay.
The jolliest, good natured crowd that
has been on Galveston bay for many a
day, was that which attended the Min-
erva excursion last evening.
The barge Howard and tug Buckthorn
had been chartered for the occasion, and
promptly at 8 o’clock fully 150 members
of the Minervas, • their families and
friends, started on an excursion around
the bay that proved to be one of the
most pleasant ever given by the associa-
tion.
The harpers were aboard and furnished
the music. Dancing was the principal
enjoyment, and was indulged in by
young and old.
Refreshments were served, and every-
body enjoyed themselves.
The barge was taken to the west end
of the bay and then out to the jetties,
and a distance of fully thirty miles cov-
ered. The party were landed at pier 21
at exactly midnight.

Southern Afternoon Press.
Richmond, Mo., June 14.—Mrs. J. T.
Ford died at her home, one mile east of
this city, from blood poisoning, caused

THOSE WHO
PASSED UPON.
Large Crowds Surround ths Admiralty
Office, Eager for News-Subscriptions
f >r the Benefit of the Victims Fami-
lies Meeting With Gratifying Results
Southern Afternoon Press.
London, June 24—A special staff of
officials was kept on duty all night at
the admiralty offices at Whitehall, for
the purpose of receiving any official
despatches that might arrive.
In the crowd were many women anc*
children, and young girls whose hus-
bands, fathers are sweethearts were
members of the ill fated crew. It is
stated this morning that no attempt
will be made to recover the bodies of
these who went down in the Victoria.
The only information received, how-
ever, was the names of those who had
been saved, and that only came to hand
at 6.30 o’clock this a. m. An immense
crowd gathered about the admiralty of-
fice, eager to grasp any scrap of infor-
mation.
The vessel lies in 480 feet of water
and it would be an almost impossible
task to try to recover the dead. It is
probable that in the course of a very few
days a number of bodies will float out
from under the hull.

Flames In a Warehouse Cause a Loss of
S18OO.
Fire broke out in the warehouse be-
zngingto Reymershoffer Bros, about 1
o’clock this morning, destroying about
$800 worth of baled hay and damaging
the building to the extent of $1000.
The building was occupied by Albert
Behrends as a feed storage house. It
was in no way connected with the Star
flour mills and was almost half a block
away.
The firemen had considerable diffi-
culty in getting to the flames, but did
excellent work.

Citizens Complain of the Boys .Using
Air Guns.
Citizens in the east end are complain-
ing about the way the harmless looking
but very dangerous air gun is being
handled by the small boys in that vi-
cinity. They fire away, regardless of
where the ball may go. Ladies are
afraid to sit on their galleries or aUtheir
windows for fear of being struck by a
passing ball. The practice of using these
dangerous weapons in a thickly popu-
lated neighborhood, or any other neigh-
borhood for that matter, should be pro-
hibited.
If the boys must shoot, send them to
the beach and let them fire into the
water. But the best and safest plan
would be to send the guns to the beach
and fire them i to the Water.
Several ladies have been . struck by
these minnie balls lately, and only yes-
terday ‘one of them came near putting a
citizen’s eye out.
Parents of boys who use air guns,
warn your song to be careful, or
police may get after them.

A Negro Killed By His Mistress in a
Jealous Quarrel.
Southern Afternoon Press.
Kansas City, Mo., June 24.—As the
culmination of a jealous quarrel Gilber
Newman, a negro, was stabbed to the
heart and almost instantly killed by
Angie Young, his mistress, at the home
of Mrs. Susie Reeves, 714 Bank street.
Newman quarreled with the' woman
at their home, 622 Bank street, over al-
leged attentions which she has been re-
ceiving from another man. She went to
the home of Mrs. Reeves, where she was
followed by Newman and where the
quarrel was renewed.
The woman claims that Newman at-
tempted to strike her with a piece of
scantling and that she was compelled to
stab him in order to protect hen-elf. The
blade of the knife penetrated Newman’s
heart and he died fifteen minutes later,
while being removed to police head-
quarters in the ambulance.
The woman escaped, but was arrested
this morning by Patrolman Eyler at the
house of Mrs. Ida Williams, 1007 North
Fourth street, Kansas City, Kan. The
Young woman is 35 years of age and her
victim 44. Newman was formerly jani-
tor at the old circuit court building at
the corner of Fifth and Delaware streets.

The Gulf, Beaumont and Kansas City to
Be Built at Once.
The Kansas City Star of June 20 con-
tained the following:
Advice from Texas are to the effect
that work hag begun on the newly
chartered Gulf, Beaumont & Kansas
City railway. The 'managers of the
road will build northeasterly from Beau-
mont, the contract having been let for
the first twenty miles. The road will
run through the pine forests of Texas
and will penetrate the granite fields. Its
chief revenue is expected to come from
the transportation of pine timber and
later the hauling of granite to the govern-
ment works at Galveston and Sabine
Pass. After some months the road
will have a connection with Kansas
City through branches of other roads
already in operation and this city will
have another, though not direct, line to
the Texas sea coast.
It is intended to vigorously prosecute
the work already begun and to place it
as soon as possible in the ranks of the
revenue makers. The eastern extension
of the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe railway
ia graded from Cleveland seventeen
miles toward the Trinity river and will
in all probabilitj’ connect with the Gulf,
Beaumont & Kansas City in the vicinity
of Concord or Countze, in Hardin
county.

they offered to insert business cards at
tie extremely low rate of 50 cents. The
bank officials jumped at the bait, signed
the contracts presented them and gave
checks for 50 cents in payment. These
checks, it is charged, the advertising sc«
lictors changed to $50 and presented
them to the paying tellers.
Their plan of operations was discov-
ered by accident and the man were
taken into custody. They claim to be
strictly reliable and say that the price
asked for the cards was $50 instead of
50 cents and that their arrest is the re-
sult of a mistake.

B. A. COOK,
Two Strangers Carved by a Negro on
Twenty-fourth Street,
At an early hour this morning a
ions cutting affray occurred on Twenty-
fourth between Church and Postofike.
Two young men came to the city yes-
terday from an interior town and started
out for a good time.
They visited several resorts during the
afternoon and evening and by midnight
were pretty well tanked up.
A little after midnight the happy
couple were going up Twenty-fourth
street when they stopped in front of a
place on Twenty-fourth street and in-
quired what kind of a joint it was.
They were answered by a burly colored
man, who at once began slashing them
with a knife.
The white men finally’ succeeded in
getting the weapon from the negro, but
not until they had received several
severe cuts. The strangers, not wishing
there idenity known, fled after giving
their enemy a slash or two with the
knife.
The negro was taken to the Sealy
hospital, but his wounds are not serious.
His name could not be learned, and he
does not know who the two men with
whom he had the encounter were.

Ten Mergenthaler Linotypes to Be
Placed in Operation Shortly—A Most
Ingenious Machine Which Does as i
Much Work as Three Men.
Some time ago the Galveston News
sent one of their most apt young men to
New York to investigate the merits of
the Mergenthaler linotype, a line casting
machine.
These machines are successfully
operated on various daily papers in the
east, and in Texas. They are operated
in nearly the same manner as a type-
writer ; an operator of ordinary skill can
set about as much type as three compos-
itors. The linotype is built on a totally
different plan from all other type-setting
machines, inatmuch as it casts each line
on a separate piece of metal, by means of
matrixes, which are afterwards automat-
ically distributed.
Mr. J. M, Lowe, son of Major Robert
G. Lowe, vice-president of the A. H.
Belo Co., bas just returned from the fac-
tory in Brooklyn, where he has spent
the past fourteen months in thoroughly
mastering every detail connected with
the manufacture and operation of the
linotype. With him also came Mr.
H. Sundstrom, an expert machinist/
from the factory, and both gentlemen
are busily engaged in setting up the ma-
chines that the Galveston News will
place in operation inside of the next ten
days. As soon as their work is con-
cluded here and the machines in opera-
tion they will go to Dallas, where a
similar lot will be set up for the Dallas
News.
The Linotype is ingenious beyond de-
scription, and an intelligent account of
its work can not be given without copi- i
ous illustrations. The arrangement of ;
cams, levers, matrixes, etc., are most
perplexing to the casual observer, and,
in fact, one would think that the only i
thing lacking for it to be almost human ;
is its inability to write the articles. (
Mr. Lowe is a young man who learned ;
the printing business in this city, and is ,
well known in Galveston, being a mem- (
ber of Galveston typographical union ■
No. 28. He has shown a phenomenal
aptitude in acquiring the knowledge so ,
highly necessary to operate such compli- j
cated machinery. >
As the Galveston-Dallas News never
does any thing in a half-way manner,
they have also purchased and set up all ;
the machinery and tools needed to re- ]
pair the linotypes in case of accident. ,
It is expected that machine composition ]
will begin on the News within thirty
days; but', as before stated, the linotypes ]
will be readv for work inside of ten days
and it is understood that the manage- ,
ment of the News will extend a cordial (
invitation to the public to call and see ,
them in operation.
Two Men Arrested, Charged With a
Peculiar Offense.
Southern Afternoon Press.
Albany, N. Y., June 24 —It is seldom
that schemers try to get ahead of banks,
buttwomen have just been arrested
here charged with a peculiar offense in
that line. They gave their names as
John S. Davidson and Phillip Goodhart.
They came here claiming to represent
the National Bank Register Publishing at J. W- lTurson-Co?, Tribune building
the Murderer of Bertha Manchester
Confesses the Crime.
Southern Afternoon Press.
Boston, June 24.—The Manchester
murder mystery of Fall River is cleared
by the confession of Joseph Carriero to
the Portuguese consul of this city.
The lad, who is under arrest, has con-
fessed that he committed the murder in
self-defense, being first attacked with an
ax. He worked for the girl’s father for
several weeks and had tried in vain to
collect a small sum of money which he
says was due him for wages. It wag to
secure this money that he visited the
lonely dwelling.
Consul Almeida said that Carriero had
been turned out of a friend’s house on
the day before the murder penniless and
hungry. He knew that Farmer Man-
chester owed him money and supposed
he kept a good deal hidden in the
house.
Carriero says he only intended to take
what was due him when he entered the
house. He arrived at the place just
after the old man had started on hia
milk route and was met by the girl aa
he entered the kitchen.
Carrieroj told the girl that he waa
after the money her father owed him,
and after some talk Bertha seized the
ax and ordered him from the house.
He refused to go and she rushed at him
with the weapon. Carriero is a very
thin, slight boy, and in the struggle that
followed he felt that Bertha would over-
come him, as she was a powerful girl.
As she rushed at him he evaded the
blow aimed at him and rushed in on
ber. Then Carriero secured a hold on
the ax and, wresting it from the girl,
struck her.
Continuing, the consul said: “There
was no premeditation about it. Carriero
did not have so much as a penknife
about him when he entered the house.

used the ax to kill the girl. That he
was first attacked there is not the slight-

his confession, it must believe that he
did not go there for the purpose of com-
mitting murder.”
