The Moody compress ia running right
along as fast as the cotton cornea in. A
speed of a bale in 31 seconds baa been
made on several bales, the condenser
proving a greater success in helping
operate the press than had been expected.
It looks as if Houston cotton men
have sold the market short to a con-
siderable extent, the way they are buy-
ing and the prices they are paying.
Cotton was received here yesterday
from as far away as Purcell, I. T. First

An Unkind Remark.
A young married lady living not far
from Lenox avenue was visited, by one
of her dearest friends with whom she
wend to school at Vassar, and who is
still unmarried. In reply to a question
from the visitor the recently married
lady said:
“Yon have no idea how absent-mind-
ed my husband is!” !
“That’s what I thought he must be,
when I heard you were engaged,”
was the breezy reply.-—Alex Sweet, in

A UNIVERSAL DEMAND FOR PROTEC-
TION FROM IMPURE MILK.
BORBA—In New Orleans Wednesday night,
August 29, at the residence of her mother, Mrs.
E. Dumser, the sweet spirit of Mrs. G. Borba de-
parted this life. She leaves a kind and indulg-
ent husband, two affectiona'e sons and three
loving daughters to mourn their sad and unex-
pected loss. But ten days since she left this
city in the prime of health on a visit to her
mother and the home of her birth. Last Mon-
day night her husband was called to her bedside
and Wednesday evening her daughters, Mrs.
Cazo and O’Connor received a message to come
at once. They hastened to get a last look at a
loving mother before life was extinct, but
while getting tickets in Houston they received
the sad news of her death. Her body was in-
terred in the Dumser family vault, where she
lies in peaceful repose by the side of her father
and brother. She was in the 44th year of her
age.

Glass Mills Idle.
Massillon, O., Aug. 31.—Reed & Co.,

work will be resumed on September 1 pending
a national setlement of the wage dispute.
They say the factories will continue idle until
the scale is agreed on. They don’t anticipate
such an issue before October 1.
thought the nomination of Judge Rosenthal
was equivalent to an election.
Most of the other members of the Galveston
delegation .to the state and congressional con-
ventions also returned last night.
Judge Rosenthal went from Dellas to La-
■ Grange to meet his family and will come to
Galveston in a few days, where he will in
future reside.
Express Office Changes.
A. B. Brantley, cashier of the Pacific
Express company at this point, checked out to-
day to take a position with the Southern Ex-
press company at Meridian, Miss., under J. C.
Stuart. Chs. J. Trabout succeeds Mr. Brantley
as cashier. R. W. Elgin succeeds Mr. Trabout
as “old hoss” artist.
J. A. Russ,route agent for the Pacific Express
company, was in Galveston to-day checking
out Mr. Brantley.
Death of John Kwalt,
News was received here to-day of the
death of John Ewalt, which occurred at Mani-
tou Springs, Colo., yesterday morning at 2
o’clock. The deceased formerly resided in this
city, and was secretary of the Galveston Gas
company, from which position he was forced
to resign some months ago owing to ill health.
Mr. Ewalt was a nephew of Mr. George Sealy
of this city. The remains were shipped to Falls
City, Neb , where the deceased's parents reside.
The Heavy Rains Caused Great Injury
to Railroad Tracks.
St. Louis, Mo., August 31.—Dispatches
from southwestern Texas report very heavy
rains in that section and heavy damage done
to railroads and property. Three bridges on
the Southern Pacific road over the Sago river
are swept away and several washouts occurred.
The Rio Grande is higher that for five
years. The storm extended into Mexico and
several miles of track of the Mexican Interna-
tional and Monterey and Mexican Gulf roads
were washed out. Cities are badly flooded and
three children were drowned. It will require
several days to repair the damage to railroads.
RAILROAD NOTES.
A Prominent Kentucky Democrat Wants
Protection for His Interests.
Lexington, Ky., Aug. 31.—Colonel 0.
C. Bowies of Pikeville, Pike county, a leading
democrat of the mountain region of Kentucky,
has announced that he will hereafter affiliate
with the republicans. His section is largely
interested in lumber, coal and iron and be
takes issue with his old party on its tariff
policy toward those products.
Colonel Bowles will take the stump for N. T.
Hopkins, republican, for congress in the Tenth
district. Hopkins and Bowles were opposing
candidates for the legislature last year, the for-
mer winning. Bowles’ name has been favora
bly discussed in connection with the demo-
cratic nomination for governor next term.
Several Alderman Speak Out iu Favor
of Adopting an Ordinance on
the Subject at Once.
London, Aug. 31.—Andrew Carnegie
has an article in the September Contemporary
Review concerning labor in America. He says
an American workingman can live for less in
America, if he chooses, than in Great Britain,
provided he lives as frugally. Consequently,
Carnegie thinks argument on wages in America
is out of place. The American workingman’s
position was like that old Scotch woman, who,
when asked if she could live on a ce tain an-
nuity, replied she could live on half of it, “but
could spend double.”
Rosenthal's Nomination.
H. P. Whittlesey, a delegate to the
Tenth district congressional convention, held
yesterday at Dallas, returned last night. To a
Tribune reporter to day he said that he thought
the nomination of Judge A J. Rosenthal a good
one, and he would in all probability be elected.
Delegate Whittlesey stated that the convention ----- — ,• - „ '' -
was harmonious and the republicans as a rule I patronage and guarantees satisfaction.

An American Captain Suicides*
Glasgow, Aug. 31.—James Johnstone,

States army, committed suicide here this morn-
ing.
The Department Did Some Good Work
Last Night.
Box 16 announced a fire at 9.45 last
night on the steamship Knutsfori at pier 12.
The fire did but slight damage.
Half an hour later box 61 announced a fire in
the millinery store of Mrs. Bentick, on Twenty-
second street, between Market and Postotfice.
This fire proved more serious than the other,
but was quickly extinguished by the depart-
ment but with some damage by water. Assistant
Chief Gernard was on hand promptly and
handled his men in a manner that reflects
credit upon him. The loss was about $1200 in
the millinery store and $800 in the oil store next
door. The millinery store was fully insured,
while the proprietor of oil store carried no in-
surance.
The detailed insurance is as follows: Mrs.
Bentick, $1800 on stock and fixtures; North
America, through Hughes & Stowe, $1000; Ger-
man, through Chas. R. Brown, $800.
On building and fixtures, owned by S. J.
Lewis of Washington, D. C., $1000 in the Phoe-
nix through Mason & Beall.

IMPORTED 'GERMAN d
The Tribune presents to-day inter-
views with several aldermen on the sub-
ject of milk inspection. From their
favorable expressions it appears that
there is really no reason why an
ordinance should not be promptly adopt-
ed and put into effect.
In all the interviews and investiga-
tions on this subject, extending over the
entire week and embracing citizens of
every walk in life, Tribune reporters
have heard none but the most earnest
expressions in favor of prompt and
thorough milk inspection.
Following are some short interviews:
Mr. Geo. Plitt, one of the largest cat-
tlemen in Galveston, said to a Tribune
man : “I am in favor of meat and milk
inspection if it is properly conducted. If
the health inspector bad the authority
to stop a milk wagon at any time and in
any place the people would no doubt get
much better milk. I think the names
of the dealers who sell impure milk
should be exposed. This would stop the
trouble iu a short time.”
R. L. James—Certainly we want milk
inspection, but that is not all. I think
every pound of meat, vegetables or fruit
sold should be inspected. It is a matter
of vastly more importance than many
suppose. Hundreds of deaths are caused
from impure milk and diseased meat.
When Aiderman Baudenon was asked
whether he was in favor of milk inspec-
tion, he replied that he had not given
the matter sufficient consideration to
express an opinion.
James Spillane—I am in favor of al-
lowing the health department to appoint
a milk inspector provided it involves no
extra expense to the city.
Aiderman Wegner—I have always been
in favor of milk and meat inspection and
will vote for an ordinance covering the
matter. I fully realize that some posi-
tive steps are necessary to con-
trol the adulteration and sale of
milk and diseased meat and am
with Dr. Burkey all the way through.
Aiderman Harris—I am in favor of
milk inspection and always have been.
I will have considerable to say at the
council meeting next Monday.
Aiderman Schreiber—lam not only in
favor of milk inspection, but the inspec-
tion of all kinds of food. If I pay 10
cents for a quart of milk I want that
quantity of good, pure milk. If I pay
for good meat, I want good meat. If I
pay for a 10-ounce loaf of bread, I want
the loaf to weigh 10 ounces. I believe
that an ordinance should be passed regu-
lating the sale of all provisions.
A. S. Newson—I have always been in
favor of meat inspection and think Dr.
Burkey is making a move in the right
direction. It is a matter that the public
is interested in and one which should be
seriously considered. I have never been
against any measure which benefited
the public.
Aldermen Webber, Schmidt, Jaques
and Williams could not be found to-day
by The Tribune reporters, but it is
understood they all favor the measure.
Aiderman Henderson—It is said that
“the way to a man’s heart is through
his mouth,” and where any man under-
takes to improve the standard of the
food that is being ftd to the citizens of
any community every consumer of food
should bs with him. Dr. Burkey is do-
ing a good work and I propose to aid
him when my vote can do so.
Aiderman Paul Gruetzmacher—I am
heartily in favor of milk inspection and
will vote for any measure looking toward
this end. It is a matter in which the
public are -directly interested. I am
always with the public.
Alder man Jackson—You know how I
stand on this matter. Several months
ago I introduced in the council a resolu-
tion providing for the inspection of meat,
and have always been in harmony with
Dr. Burkey in his views regarding the
inspection of meat, milk and vege-
tables. The resolution was re-
ferred to the board of health, where
it remained until I had it called
up. There is no doubt but an ordinance
authorizing the inspection of milk would
prove very beneficial to the citizens of
Galveston, and were I to remain iu the
council I would make a hard fight for
such an ordinance.
Aiderman Levy — I am very much
in favor of the milk being in-
spected. I should feel very much
incensed at a milkman who would
bring impure or adulterated milk
into my family. I feel the same way
about the meat that is sold in Galveston.
I will support and vote for an ordinance
that will provide healthy milk and meat
for our citizens.
Aiderman Reppen—I am heartily in
favor of milk inspection and will vote
for an ordinance requiring such meas-
ures. I understand there will be no ad-
ditional cost to the city or to the dealers.

A Plan for a Permanent Bureau of Im-
migration.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 31—The sec-
ond day’s meeting of the southern develop-
ment convention began with a large attend-
ance. Mr. W. G. Vincenheller, state commis-
sioner of mining of Arkansas, presented a con-
servative review of the resources of that state,
laying stress upon the need of more railroads
for its development.
The report of the committee on “plan arid
scope” was read by W. Seymour Whitejof Vir-
ginia. It provides for a permanent bureau in
Washington for the exhibition of the resources
of the southern states and for general informa-
tion of capitaland labor, the expenses of the
bureau to be paid by pro rata contributions
from the states; also a sub-bureau in each state,
through which exhibits should be forwarded to
Washington to be in charge of the commi ssiouers
of agriculture, labor or immigration who shall
verify all information filed with the bureau. A
small commission would be allowed in sales
made through the bureau. A committee of one
member from each state and the District of
Columbia is provided for, to be appointed by
the chair, and a meeting is to be held in Wash-
ington to which the governor of each state will
be invited to perfect the details of the organiza-
tion.
A resolution indorsed the bill introduced in
the senate by Senator Walsh for the permanent
exhibit in Washington of the resoures of the
states.
B. F. Clayton of Florida held that the plan to
confer authority upon the governor of the
states would give a political character to the
organization. Robert W. Hunter of Virginia
sustained the report. When he said the south
did not expect to build herself up in a day, that
she did not care for what was called a “tide of
immigration” ior Poles, Hungarians and an-
archists, he was applauded.
John Sealy is back from a gammer
trip north.
Johnathan Lane of Larange is ex-
pected here on legal business.
W. A. McVitie, of the shipping firm of
Fowler A McVitie, is expected home Monday.
Judge R. M. Cash returned last night
from a trip to Colorado, Illinois and Missouri.
Robert I. Cohen, who was to arrive
here to-day, missed the train and will arrive
to morrow.
Ben Iselman, the young man who was
severely cut about 10 days ago by falling upon
a glass bottle, will be able to be out in a few
days.
John Smith, the brakeman who was
injured in a switch engine accident at pier 12
a few days ago, is reported to be in a dying
condition. ________________

yesterday on the Hiawatha with his fam-
ily and entire outfit and will again re-

The Baking Powder Test.
The long-standing dispute between
baking powder companies was settled by
the World’s Fair jury, which decided for
Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder. It
was awarded first prize or diploma for
leavening power, keeping qualities, pur-
ity and general excellence. All the bak-
ing powders entered for competition were
submitted to a rigid examination and
the verdict of the jury was supported by
the testimony of Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief
chemist of the United States department
of agriculture.
Dr. Burkey is of the opinion that the
Model Market ia the place where good
and wholesome meats can be had. A.
S. Newson, being a practical man, han-
