and carted away. The motion was car-
ried after considerable discusefbn.
An invitation from Mr. Wooljam to

Exterminating Outlaws.
Southern Afternoon Press.
St. Louie, Mo., Oct. 17.—A special to
the Republic from McAlister, I. T., says
that the battle with outlaws which took
place on the 11th inst., near Fifty-two
Spring terminated more fatally than
was at first reported. Lew Thompson
and Joe Sofsky were both found dead on
the prairie next day. Officers knew the
outlaws were wounded but their wounds
were not considered serious as they
managed to escape on foot. Sam Wood-
ward, only survivor of this gang of des-
'* peradoes, is still at large, but it is prob-
able that he will soon be brought to
justice. He is wanted, charged with
murder committed in the Creek nation
in August last.

Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 17.—It is esti-
mated that the frost which fell Sunday
night and killed late cotton will cut off
already the short crop fully 10 per cent
in counties in north and middle Ala-
bama. The crop was already 20 per cent
short before the frost came.

Tahlequah,!. T., Oct. 17.—It is re-

nounced, it is understood that the price
is at a premium.
Another Fatal Wreck.
Southern Afternoon Press.
Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 17.—The first sec-
tion of the New York and Chicago lim-
ited express on the Fort Wayne road
was wrecked at Wellsville, Ohio, forty
miles from this city at 6:15 o’clock thia
morning. Two trainmen were killed in-
stantly and four others were injured,
two of whom will die. The passengers
were thrown from their berths by the
shock but escaped with slight bruises
and bad fright.
Senator Gibson Ill.
Southern Afternoon Press.
Washington, Oct. 17.—Senator Gibson
of Maryland was taken suddenly ill in
the cloak room of the senate about 12
o’clock today. He was at the time of
the attack engaged in conversation with
several democratic senators. Physicians
were hastily summoned.' Dr. Hayne
said the primary cause of the attack was
indigestion, but that it affected the mus-
cles of the heart in a way to produce
symptoms of a cardiac trouble. He said
there was no organic trouble of the heart
and there was no danger of a fatal ter-
mination. This is the second .attack of
the same nature which Mr. Gibson has
had within the past few days.

She Is Accused of Telling
LStories of Dr. Olnej’a Drowning.
Onsett Bay, Mass., Oct. 17.—Freder-
ick Sanborn, a carpenter, who says be
was the first to reach Miss Gussie
White in the water where Dr. Olney
was drowned, now accuses Miss White . .
of telling a very different story at the the shore line, as stated above, and
. , , ,, , , . , . . , ,, would resnectfullv raromn.p.nd that,vnnr
inquest from the one she told him at the
time.
Sanborn says she told him that the
doctor and she were in a boat together
i rowing and that they were capsized.
Sanborn thinks they quarreled and that
the doctor was injured in some way
when the boat was overturned, perhaps
by his head sinking the boat, which
would explain how a man of his athletic
proportions was unable to keep nis head
above water. Mr. Sanborn adds th„t
Miss White smelled very strongly of
ether.
The body of Dr. Olney wes burled in
the family lot at Taunton. Mies White
attended the funeral.
that the amount be made $500,000 in-' f
stead of $100,000, and felt sure it would
carry.
Aiderman Spillane was of the opinion :
that some notice should be taken of the
proposition of Mr. Shields to do the work
for $35,000.
Aiderman Boysen wanted the opinion
of the city attorney as to the legality of
holding an election. He also wanted the
estimate of on expert as to the best
method and the cost of doing the work
on the beach. With doe respect to the
city engineer, Mr. Boysen said he did
not believe he knew much about cur-
rents, and he thought a government en
gineer should be consulted about the
matter.
Aiderman Jackson was opposed to
making the amount $500,COO.
Aiderman Wegner said if the entire
amount was not necessary it need not
be u-;ed.
Aiderman Schmidt said he thought the
Shields proposition should be looked into
before any action was taken.
Mayor Fly suggested that the matter
be postponed until Thursday afternoon,
and on motion of Aiderman Jackson it
was so ordered.
The following communication from
the joint committee on fresh water sup-
ply was then read:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council: We request that you direct
the finance committee, to set aside such
quantity of bonds, to-wit: about $815,000,
as are still unsold and unappropriated of
the amount set aside by article 132c of
the charter for the procurement of a
supply of water, said committee desig-
nating the particular number of said
bonds. E.K. Marrast.
Secretary Committee Fresh Water Supply
There was a heated discussion and the
matter was laid over until the city
attorney submitted an opin’oa as to
whether or not it was necesnry to set
side these bonds for fresh Water supply
and whether or not the resjlut’.on car-
ried with it an appropriation.

Grand Reception of Russian Naval
OfBoerg in tho French Capital*
Southern Afternoon Press.
Paris, Oct. 17.—Shortly after sunrise
this morning streets of this capitol were
alive with people bent upon enjoying a
holiday and at the same time giving
welcome to Russian sailors. By 7
o’clock the streets were densely crowded
with people and work throughout the
city may be said to have been at a stand
still.
The Russians were received at 9:20 a.
m. by cabinet ministers and delegations
from various reception committees and
by many thousands of people who
crowded around the station and packed
the platform near it and enthusiastically
shouted, “ Vive la Russie 1 ”
Admiral Avelane and the officers who
accompanied him stood up in carriages
awaiting to escort them to the Military
club, and replied to the cheers of the
French by shouting, “Vive la repub-
lique! ”
Fully 100,000 people were around the
railway station alone.

of $100,000 be issued for the purpose of
constructing sea wall and breakwaters
and securing the right of way therefor,
which shall ba styled, “bonds for con-
struction of breakwaters and sea wall.”
They shall be payable forty years afte-
their issue to--or bearer at the
office of the treasurer of said city; shall
bear interest ’at the rate of 5 per cent
per annum and have attached semi an-
nual interest coupons, payable in the city
cf New York at some place or places
that may be designated by said city
council, or at the office of the treasurer
of the said city of Galveston, at the op-
tion of the holder or holders of said

Sec. 2. To provide for the payment
of interest of said bonds and to create a
sinking fund for their redemption, there
is hereby levied, set apart and specially
appropriated an annual ad valorem tax
on all property, real, pergonal and
mixed, within the said city of Galves-
ton, not exempt from taxation by the
constitution and laws of the state, of
31-100 of 1 per cent on every $100 valua-
tion of said property for each and every
$10,000 of such bonds as may be issued ;
such tax, or as much thereof as may he
necessary for such purposes, to be as-
sessed and collected annually, until the
principal and interest of s rid bonds are
fully paid and discharged. Provided,
however, that said bonds shall not be
issued, or said tax be levied, unless two-
thirds of the tax payers of said city
have voted in favor of the above pro-
posed tax for the payment of said bonds
and interest thereon.
Sec. 3. For the purpose of ascertain-
ing whether two thirds of the tax payers
of the city are in favor of said proposed
tax the mayor of said city is hereby or-
dered to call an election at as early a day
as practicable after the passage of this
ordinance, giving thirty days’ notice of
said election, at which all tax payers,
who are qualified voters, entitled to vote
in said city, shall be allowed to vote for
or against the proposed taxation for the
payment of said bonds and the interest
thereon.
Sec. 4. Said election shall be held and
conducted as provided for in section 182,.
article 2, of the city charter.
Sec. 5. The city council shall, as soon
as practicable after said election, meet
and canvass the returns of said election,
and with the aid of the returns and lists
provided for, together with such other
evidence as may be required, ascertain
and record in the minutes of said coun-
cil the total number of tax payers of
said city who are qualified voters of Baid
city on the day of said election, the
number of tax papers voting in favor of
the proposed taxation and the number
of tax payers voting against the same.
In the event that two-thirds of the tax
payers of said city, who are qualified
voters therein, shall have voted in favor
of the proposed tax, the said city shall
thereupon have power to issue its bonds
as herein proposed for the construction
and maintenance of seawalls and break-
waters, and for securing the right of
way for said works. And said city coun-
cil shall, by ordinance, as soon as prac-
ticable, and after said election,prescribe!
the style, form and requisites of said
bonds, and shall make all further pro-
visions required for the issuance and
disposal of sa;d bonds, as is provided for
in sections 183 and 184 of the city char-
ter.
Aiderman Boysen said a similar ordi-
nance had been defeated less than
twelve months ago, and he did not
think such an ordinance would be lega1.
Aiderman Harris sajid the election was
held under the old administration and
this council had nothing to do with the
election. He moved the rules be sus-
pended and the ordinance passed.
Alderman Greutzmacher thought the
proposition w7ould not carry and that it
would be an outlay of $600 atd accom-
plish no good to call an election.
Aiderman Jackson said that some-
thing must be done for the property
owners of the East end, and hoped the
ordinance would pass.
Aiderman Wegner was of the opinion
that the proposition was defeated last
spring on account of the amount being
too small to make any permanent im-
provements, and the people were op-
posed to throwing away any more money

said bonds valid.
Aiderman Wegner said if the bonds 1
were to be reprinted he was in favor of :
making them gold-bearing bonds, and
ho so moved. 1
This brought up the gold bond ques-
tion again, and a lung discussion fol-
lowed.
Alderman Harris, father of the ordin-
ance introduced some time ago regard-
ing the bonds and which was defeated
by the opinion of the city attorney,
spoke at great length on the gold ques-
tion. He said other eminent attorneys
of the city differed in opinion with Mr.
Ballinger.
Aiderman Henderson favored making
the bonds gold bearing, and he thought
the city bad a perfect right to make
them so. He spoke for some time on
the advantage to be gained by the
change.
Aiderman Harris seconded Aiderman
Wegner’s motion, but before the vote
was taken the mayor said, wh’le he was
not opposed to gold bonds, he hoped the
council would not take any action in the
matter at present, as he would feel it his
duty to veto such a resolution in accord-
ance with the opinion cf his legal ad-
viser.
The matter was referred to the finance
committee. /
Aiderman Spillane moved the vote
taken on the report of the streets and
alleys committee be reconsidered. He
had opposed the appropriation of $2000
: to improve Broadway from the mud
■ bridge to the city limits because he was
I -of the opinion the money could not be
used for that purpose, but he had learned
he was mistaken. He wished to amend
the resolution by making the amount
$1000 instead of $2000.
The matter was laid over until Thurs-
day.
On motion of Aiderman Jackson the
city engineer was instructed to call the
attention of the board of public works
to the manner in which the contractors
for sand filling were doing the work, He' Hanna & Leonard’s, Phone 552.

Beach Erosion Discussed, But No Action

for Its Share of Debate—Gold Bond
Question.
Yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock the
city council met in regular session.
Mayor Fly was in the chair and all the
aidermen were present except Aiderman
Levy, and he was excused.
After the clerk had called ?the roll
Mayor Fly requested Alderman Jaques
of the Sixth to introduce Aiderman
Schmidt, the newly elected aiderman
at large. Mr. Jaques did so with hie
usual grace, and Mr. Schmidt replied in
a neat little speech and took bis seat to
the right of Aiderman Henderson.
The reading of the minutes was then
disposed of and they were adopted.
City Attorney BaUinger asked to be
excused and the request was granted.
The following petition was read :
To the Honorable City Council—Gen-
tlemen : We will prevent any further
encroachment of the’ gulf inward from
Tremont street, the city furnishing the
right of way along the beach at high
tide mark, or the present line of en-
croachment, and guarantee to keep the
works in order for five years for the sum
of $35,000, one-half payable as. the
work progresses, the balance at the end
of the five years. Respectfully,
F. R. Shields & Co,
Referred to beach committee.
Louis Alberti was granted permission
to open a market on Winnie, between
Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth streets, and
W. O. Meyer was allowed the same
privilege on Thirty sixth street and ave-

The board of public works reported
that it wou'd cost $623.30 to put a suit-
able fence around Lake View cemetery.
The board was instructed to advertise
for bids on the work at once.
City Engineer Hallonquist submitted
the following report on the erosion of
the beach:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Ualveston—Gen-
tlemen: In compliance with a resolu-
tion of your honorable body, I herewith
beg to submit a report of the erosion oc-
curring along the gulf shore. The ero
sion is without doubt caused by the ex-
tension of the government jetty across
the bar, and is heaviest between Fifth
and Seventeenth streets.
The question is a very serious one, as
the damage done up to the present time
is considerable, and numbers of tax-
payers are now threatened with losing
their homes.
There have been four jatiies construct-
ed, running at nearly right angles with
the shore line, viz.: Sixth street, Ninth
street, Thirteenth street and Seventeenth
street, at an approximate cost of about
$65,000, the apparent effect of said jetties
being to stop the erosion immediately on
the west side and cause a heavier ero-
sion on the east side,
I would respectfully recommend the
building of a jetty parallel with the
shore from Fifth street to Seventeenth
street, which, in my opinion, would ef-
fectually stop all erosion of the em-
braced territory. An approximate cost
of said jetty would be about $100,000.
I beg to report adversely on the appro-
priation of a less amount, say $15,000 or
$20,000, it being impossible to prosecute
work of this kind economically and ad-
vantageously unless, once started, it be
rapidiy pushed to completion. Another
result of a less appropriation would be
that in the course of five or six months
tax payers in that part of the city, that
is the east end, would be asking for an-
other appropriation, it being impossible,
in my estimation, to stop such erosion
except by building a jetty parallel with
' ” , J
would respectfully recommend that your
honorable body take some immediate
action in regard to this matter. Re-
spectfully submitted,
VV. L. Hallonquist, City Engineer.
Regarding the same matter the fol-
lowing report from the beach committee
was read:
Galveston, Oct. 16.—To the Honorable
City Council of the City of Galveston—
Gentlemen : Your committee to whom
was referred the matter of the erosion ot
the east end of the island by the waters
of the gulf for investigation, beg leave to
report as fol ows:
After a thorough investigation of the
matter we are of the.opinion that it will
take a large sum of money to provide
ample and full protection to that end of
thj island. We have estimated the
amount requited to be $100,0(10.
In order to obtain this large amount it
will be necessary to submit the matter
to the tax payers of the city for their
approval. We herewith report an ordi-
nance for approval and passage which
provides for the holding of said election,
as is provided for in title 14 of the char-
ter. Respectfully submitted.

Aiderman Jaques introduced the fol-
lowing ordinance in lieu of the report of
the committee:

ance of $100,000 forfy-years 5 per cent

tled to vote in the city of G^lr ston,
shall be allowed to vote for or against

said bonds and interest thereon.

say:
Liverpool futures closed quiet 2-64 up.
Spot sales 15,000 bales at 1-16 advance.
New York opened 7 points higher but
declined and is now at last night’s
prices.
Our market was 10 points up at the
opening, and at noon was steady within
2 points of the highest reached. Yester-
day at closing our market was depressed,
which accounts for present improve
naent being maintained in face of an
easier New York. Frost news has not
materialized to any great extent and re-
ceipts are liberal, consequently the mar-
ket is awaiting further developments.

Remedy is taken as soon as a cold has
t e?n contracted, and before it has be-
come settled in the system., it will coun-
teract the effect of the cold and greatly
lessen its severity, and is the only rem-
edy that will do this. It acta in perfect
harmony with nature and aids nature in
relieving the lungs, opening the secre-
tions, liquefying the mucus and causing
its expulsion from the air cells of the
lungs and restoring the system to a
s rong and healthy condition. No other
remedy in the market possesses these
remarkable properties. No other will
cure a cold so quickly. For sale by

read and referred to the committee on
public property:
Galveston, Oct. 16.—To the Honorable
City Council—Gentlemen: The colored
wards of the Sealy hospital are inade-
quate to accommodate the number of
patients applying for treatment. This
is especially true of the female ward,
where all the surgical, medical and ob-
stetrical cases have to be treated in the
same apartment. In view of this I
would respectfully ask that the council
take some step in relieving this trouble.
The third story of the old hospital build-
ing could be fitted up for this purpose
and would add materially to the comfort
of these patients. This ward so fitted
would be used as a ward for the female
surgical and obstetrical patients. Yours
respectfully, J. P. Hendrick, M. D.
Superintendent Sealy Hospital.
A communication from the bridge cele-

The following communication from
Chief Wegner was also read :
Galveston, Oct. 16.—The Honorable
Committee on Fire Department of the
City Council of the City of Galveston—
Gentlemen: The fire department has
been using on trial since April a chemi-
cal engine, shipped to me on trial by
Charles V. Hallowaytef Baltimore. The
engine has given entire satisfaction and
is of great service in extinguishing fires
in their incipiency, thus preventing
damage to merchandise by water. The
department needs the engine in order to
make it complete. The price asked is
$1900, which, in my opinion, is very rea-(
sonable. I think it would be a good in-
vestment to purchase the engine, as it
will save to the people many times its
cost in a very short while. Very re-
spectfully, E. Wegner,
Chief Engineer Fire Department,
The fire committee recommended that
the city purchase the engine, and Alder-
man Harris introduced the following
resolution, which was unanimously
adopted:
Be it resolved by the city council of
the city of Galveston, That the purchas-
ing Agent be and is hereby instructed to
purchase the chemical engine recom-
mended by the chief engineer of the fire
department, for $1900. Payment to be
made six months from the passage of
this resolution and provision for pay-
ment of same to be made in the budget
of the next municipal year.
