One of the biggest banks in San

national bank, and the usual notice is
given out that depositors will not lose a
cent. There never was a bank failed
that did not assure its creditors that they
would lose nothing, but it does not al-
ways turn out that way.

A real nonsensical and aggravating
mistake will occur in a newspaper right
along two or three times just, seemingly,
to show it can in spite of every precau-
tion. In speaking of the work of the
committee of the whole council on
paving it was printed Thirteenth street
instead of Thirtieth street. It is very
important to pave Thirtieth between G
and H, right where traffic is heavy, but
Thirteenth between G and H does not
need paving. Readers understand it,
but the mistake was an aggravating one
all the same.

William E. Gregory Gathered in by the
Grim Reaper.
At 2.30 o’clock thia morning all that
was mortal of William E. Gregory crum
bled into clay and the soul was gathered
to its fathers. “The fruit of that forbid-
den tree whose mortal taste brought
death into the world, and all our woe.”
How true those words I And there is woe
in that home at 3528 avenue L today.
The deceased had been failing several
months before he was stricken down
about the first of September. His disease
was of the kidneys and of the nature
of Bright’s, and he soon realized that
recovery was improbable. The suffering
was excruciating, and at times unbear-
able, yet with most wonderful courage
he battled disease and faced death with-
out a tremor. The last few hours were
veiled with unconsciousness, and the
final struggle was only physical.

A Reception That Was Not Down on the
Program.
Mr. Gus Rymershoffer, wife and child-
ren returned this morning from their
summer’s visit to their old home in Ger-
many. They were accompanied by two
young German ladies who will be teach-
er and geverness of the children. The
reception they received must have
touched their hearts.
The two sisters and aged mother had
decorated the house in a most beautiful
manner with wreaths and boquets of
roses and evergreens. There were flow-
ers everywhere and the air was laden
with sweet perfume that spoke of moth-
er-love and sister-love.
Over the entrance was a wreath of
evergreens and roses that reached al-
most to the floor. Few people have re-
ceived such a welcome, and it was all
so unexpected. There were tears, but
they were those that sparkle with joy
and not sodden with sorrow. But the
aged mother, past four score years, was
the happiest creature in this city, ho
bride ever was so completely beside her-
self with joy.
Mr. and Mrs. Reymershoffer had a
very pleasant visit, but they are glad to

takes in four blocks, is the protection
against fires adequate out there?”
“No, it is not and I will tell you
why. There are only two fire plugs on
the entrance to the wharf from Twenty-
ninth street. There ought to be another
in the center of the wharf which extends
to the foot of Thirty-third street, and
there should also be one or more electric
lights put up.
“On pier 3 where already a great deal
of cotton is handled the same improve-
ments ought to be made in regard to fire
plugs and electric lights. ■
“Then as to the presses. They handle
immense quantities of cotton this season
and some of it has of necessity to be left
on the sidewalks and in the streets, but
they cover most of it and take the
precaution to have plenty of buckets
with water handy. In the railroad yards
they have barrels around filled with water
and a good supply of buckets. The
yards are web guarded by special watch-
men and every possible precaution is
taken to guard against the spreading of
any fire which may occur in the inflim-
mable and combustible staple on which
so much of Galveston’s commerce de-
pends.” _________________

he had lived eleven more days he would
have been 64 years old. He grew to
manhood in Elkhorn, Wis.. and was
married at Racine in 1858. The wife
and two children survive him. In 1860
Mr. Gregory came to Houston and be-
came ticket agent of the Galveston,
Houston and Henderson railroad. Later
he was promoted to the general freight
agency, and then became general man-
ager. That was after he had moved to
this city, which was in 1867. He has
resided here since.
A man of splendid native ability,
strong, inflexible power of will and
singleness of purpose, he made abiding
friends of those who love true manhood
for its sake, and repelled those whom he
disliked by his very force of character.
Unostentatious, he was always the same
plain, blunt man of affairs, but warm-
hearted almost to a fault to those who
enjoyed the fire-light of the inner circle.
His hand was a liberal one, but never
gave for praise. The needy knew him
and loved him.
William Gregory was a good man, a
noble man, genial, pureminded and pub-
lic spirited. His death is a loss to this
city.
The funeral will take place from the
family residence at 11 o’clock tomorrow
and the remains will be interred in Fair-
view cemetery. The following gentle-
men have been requested to act as pall-
bearers : Messrs. Charles Vidor, Leo N.

The Big Elevator Will Be Ready For
Business May 1st., 1899,
As has been previously announced in
Evening Tribune the contract for build-
ing the Wharf company’s elevator was
awarded to Messrs. Stewart Bros., of St.
Louis. The formality of drawing up a
contract under the specifications has oc-
cupied some time. A representative of
Stewart Bros, has been in the city sev-
eral days in consultation with President
Brown, of the Wharf company. Th=j con-
tract presented by Mr. Brown was care-
fully considered by the representative of
the successful bidders and was this
morning signed by both parties to the
contract. President Brown considers
that the contract as signed guarantees
the Wharf company in all its rights and
demands and assures the completion of
the first big elevator on the Gulf coast
by May 1st, 1892.
THE FISH COMMISSIONERS.
Professor Everman and Dr. Scovil of
the United States fish commission, went
to Dickinson at 9 o’clock this morning
in company with Mr. Fred McC. Nich-
ols to investigate the adaptability of that
locality for a hatchery. There are few
sections of this great Gulf region that?
possess more advantages than Dickinson
for the purpose named, and Mr. Nich-
ols will see to it that these are presented
to the commissioners in a way that will
carry conviction to ther minds.

The announcement was made in yes-

C. Han’ey freight traffic manager of the
Santa Fe system and a party of other
prominent railroad officials had arrived
in this city in a special car and were
being shown the Gulf metropolis by lead-
ing business men.
A portion of yesterday afternoon was
spent in examining the jetty works, and
to-day’s program included an oyster
roast at Lafitte’s grove, to which the
party started about 10.30 this forenoon.
Besides Mr. Hanley and M. S. C. Gay, Ithica, N. Y., November 24, 1827, and if
general freight agent of the Atchison,
the party included Messrs. Julius
Runge, R. B. Hawley, John Reymer-

Lazarus of Sherman, Maj. W. H.
Masters, general freight agent of the
G , O. and S. F., and about half a dozen
others whose names could not be ascer-
tained. On their return from Lafitte’s
grove this afternoon the foreign officials
will at once leave for the nortn.
The visit of Messrs. Hanley and Gay
to this city has no official significance
whatever. They had been hunting in
the northern portion of Texas and con-
cluded before leaving for home to make
an inspection of the Gulf end of their
vast system and therefore extended their
trip down here. That they are pleased
with their visit, and will leave more
fully convinced of Galveston’s future
greatness than when they came here
goes without telling. They fell into good
hands and have been royally entertained
by a class of business men of which any
city might well feel proud.

WEDKESWT dent of aid^society. P
A Pen Picture With Plenty of Coloring
In It.
Here is an article clipped from the
Aransas Pass Beacon. It is either an
awful bad story or it is indeed tough.
But where there is so much smoke there
must be some fire. Here is what the
Beacon has to say:
It looks like imposing on a cripple to
call attention to Velasco again. It is a
pretty place; even Claude Melnotte’s
Lake of Como pales into significance;
the canons of the Yosemite; the entic-
ing mirages of the Llano—all become
tame if we judge by the lithographed
map of Velasco.
Florida, or a Florida land company,
advertised a Garden of Eden, and with
pretty words gulled pleasure seekers and
investors out of thousands. Their alli-
gator swamps looked charming on paper!
Oklahoma robbed thousands, and still
runs her bunco game.
Now, Velasco is working the other
side of the street, as the tramps say.
Fake No. 77641 Here’s about the gist of
the Velasco boom: A big syndicate gets
control of the tail end of the putrid
Brazos bottom, builds jetties, then ad-
vertises a splendid site for a city! Par-
ties just from there give a rough descrip-
tion of Velasco. “Chills and Fever
Charlie” gives Velasco a sad name.
It is a Christian duty to guard wild
people against foolhardiness, as doctors
say the malaria is frightful at Velasco.
They are advertising a city where but
very few houses now stand. More than
one-half the people live in tents, and we
all know what that means in winter.
Outside of any point of chills and
fever, or malarious infection, let us come
to the real absurdity which they boast—
deep water.
They advertise seventeen and a half
feet of water on their bar. This changes
with every freshet. This fact will be
proven by a notary public’s seal, and
signed by a number of sea captains, at
the proper time. During or just after a
rise the bar deepens, then fills up as the
current subsides. It is true that at one
time a ship drawing seventeen feet
might pass over} but a week or so later
she would find onlv eight or ten. If this
"une mure uueesnuu auu men j. n iui . . . , • ?, ,, , .
go my grip on you : The New wharf 18 a sea captains
__must handle the truth very recklessly.
Now we further learn that the high
ridge on which part of Velasco stands is
pretty safe, but that most of the city is
well known to be subject to overflow.
This we get from good authority. A re-
spected citizen of Rockport says he has
seen water all over the tract where Ve-
lasco stands. Another says the country is
subject to overflow, and seafaring men
say that a rise from the river and a gale
from the Gulf, meeting, would place the
town in a perilous position, jeopardizing
life and property.
Is it a lie to repeat that the C. H.
Moore ran over one jetty and into
the other? It can’t be kept a secret
that large gaps are now in the jetties,
which are not strong, as we learn today
from a seafaring man.
A Matter of Much Interest to the Citi-
zens Generally—Captain Jerry Loi-
dan Elucidates the Manner of Guard-
ing Against Fires.
Ex-chief of police Jerry Lordan was
met by an Evening Tribune reporter at
the foot of Tremont street this morning
and asked if he was not now in the em-
ploy of the Cotton Exchange and Undei -
writers, and if so what the duties of his
new position were.
“Yes,” replied Captain Lordan, “I
am now working in the interest of those
two commercial bodies and indirectly in
the interest of the public.
“On behalf of the Cotton Exchange I
look out for and protect its interests by
guarding against the stealing of cotton
and recovering such as may be stolen.
“For the underwriters I watch their
interests along the wharves, or wherever
cotton is stored.”
“Have any new modes been adopted
this season which were not formerly in
vogue?” queried the reporter.
“Yes, something entirely new; and as
the public is interested in this matter I
will give you an outline of my work. I
board all steamers coming into port, and
if I find that they have donkey funnels
that do not run into the main funnel
they are requested to put up spark ar-
resters on the former, and also on the
galley fannels, where they do not run
into the main funnel.
“The galley funnel is the most danger-
ous of them all and has been thfe cause
of several fires in the past, as all men
working along the wharves well know.
“I have also this season had handed
to me
PARLOR OR SHIP MATCHES
which screw men have found on the cot-
ton in the hold of ships, but so far this
season only one bale has been found on
fire on ship board.
“When I first go on board a ship, and
I board them all once a day, I give the
master a copy of the underwriter’s rules,
and examine the surface pipe which
runs along the deck. I then ascertain
how many lengths of hose they have
and see that it is kept ready for use.
While on board I also see that the
screwmen do not cut the heads out of
the bales or burst the bands.”
“Do not the locomotives prove the
cause of several fires along the
wharves?”
“No, so far this season only some
loose cotton between the tracks have
been found on fire and on two occasions
these have been put out by the screw-
men.”
“One more question and then I’ll let
