A Iffafter About "Which Interest Has
Keen Aroused-
The r. aent cotton tires in Houston and this city
have Crested a degree of feeling, the earnestness
of which is beyond question. Talk of a character
anything but pleasant has been indulged in some
quarters, but as nothing has been advanced in sup-
port of the ugly hints, it is not deemed worth
while to express them here. The fact of so many
fires in cotton having come so closely together has,
however, directed grave attention to the question
©f whether proper protection has been given to the
ships and presses. To recapitulate the situation: 1.
The Houston tire, destroying 8000 bales; then the
cases of the steamships Hesper, Propitious and Ar-
dancorrach, following w hich is tho Shippers press
case. Now, to succeed that, comes the announce-
ment that yesterday morning, at the Factors
press, fire was discovered in r bale of cotton be-
longing to a quantity of ship-marked bales that
were headed up In the open yard of the press, com-
monly known as the Green. Prompt action
checked the fire in its incipiency and therebv pre-
vented serious loss, as there were about 120u bales
exposed in the yard. After the fire, which did no
damage, had been put out, one of the attendants
picked up from the ground at the foot of the bale a
half-burned match. The chief of police asserts
that at the Shippers press fire the watchman on
duty could not be found for a considerable time
after tho flames nad been discovered,
and even then was unable to give information as to
thtf whereabouts of either water-buckets or tar-
paulins. and but for the presence of a young man
named Hart, who had some knowledge of the press
yards, and who aided him in getting to the tar-
paulins, he would not have been able to cover en-
dangered cotton. In this work he was assisted by
several gentlemen who were looker-on but who, re-
co»TCi/.ing the danger, turned to with a will and
aidr-d in protecting the qotton lying aroucd. Cap-
tain Atkins says tuer6 was not an employe of the
press present during the fire exoept the watch-
man already referred to.
Yesterdav morning th® chief of police received
from Mr. itilleen, of the Santa Fe road, a small
vial containing a preparation which, when placed
ou inflammable substance and brought in contact
with water, would ieuite. Mr. Killeen said the
substance had been handed to him by Mr. Mur-
doch. head watchman of the Santa Fe yards. Mr.
Murdock stated that it had been given to him by a
man from Now Orleans, known to Captain Atkins,
but he declined to state tho name of the man The
contents of tho vial, upon examination and test,
were found to be a preparation of potassium, well
recognized by chemists. Mr. Murdock, as soon
as he obtained the substance, delivered it to
Mr. Killeen. and he in turn promptly turned it
o- er to the chief, who now holds it. Why, how-
ee;*r. the name of the party from whom it orig-
inally came was not given, is a question. Possibly
other game is in sight.

ogly wound across the face. Nalbi was arrested

Tho City Company's Tax.
The officers of the Galveston City company day
before yesterday evening paid t© the city tax col-
lector the sum of $8o5o, the amount of taxes due to
the city under the settlement of their assessment
at $600,000 for the two years. The injunction which
Judge Masterson granted to thein required the pay-
ment of taxes on an assessment of $500,000 for 1881.
which was fulfilled, and the payment just made
was upon $50,000 of the assessment of 16Sl and the

The Races-
There was a fair attendance at the Oleander park
yesterday afternoon. In the first race, pacing,
mile heats, best three in five, Little Mac took the
first two heats and Rip R^p took the next two.
Joe Bowers was laid out badly very early in the
action. On the deciding heat Little Mac came in
ahead and took the stakes. The next race
amounted to nothing more than an exhibition trot
between Crockett and John S.. only one heat
being made. The sport was pronounced to be ex-
cellent in the first race, but betting was light.

Commissioners Court.
The County Commissioners Court met yesterday
in called session. Present—Judge Austin, Commis-
sioner* Jordan. Price and Wegner. Countv Clerk
Wren and Sheriff Owens and Ed. Giebel, deputy.
Judge Austin stated that he had called the meet-
ing for tha purpose of examining and passing on
the bonds of the collector of faxes, Mr. Weekes.
and the treasurer, Mr. W. J. Burk. They were sub-
mitted. as follows:
Bond of N. Weekes. as collector of taxes, to the
governor <»f the State of Texas, in the gum of $70,-
000, with C. G. Wells, J. C. League and E.Y. League
as sureties.
Bond of N. Weekes, as collector of taxes, for the
collection of the Santa Fe railroad tax. named in
the sum of $131,000, with E. A. Wells, C. G. Wells.
E. Y. League and J. C. League as sureties.
Bond of N. Weekes, as collector of taxes to the
county of Galveston, in the sum of $50,000, with
J. C. League, C. G. Wells and E. a. Wells as sure
ties.
Bond of W. J. Burk. as treasurer, in the sum of
$50,000, with Jennie Philips, J. C. League, J. Mol-
ler and George Ball as sureties.
Mr. Jordan thought it best to refer the bonds to
a committee for examination. On one or two of
them some of the names of the signers were
written on the reverse side of the sheet from the
bond, there not-being sufficient room for ail to
sign on one side. Mr. Jordan thought that this
might affect the bond. It was suggested that other
bonds had been signed in a similar manner and no
question of their validity had ever been raised. Mr.
Jordan offered to bet a new hat that there was not
a bond in Mr. Wren's office signed this way.
Mr. Wren said, "You don't know what
is in my office." Mr. Jordan repeated
his wager, and one word brought on another until
a lively spat ensued, resulting In Mr. Jordan jump-
ing up excitedly and remarking to Mr. Wren, '* You
are nothing but the clerk here, sir; if you want to
act as commissioner take this seat, and, by G—d,
sir, I'll leave."
Mr. Wren coolly disclaimed any intention to dis-
charge any duty except that of clerk, and stated
that he had said ilothlng more than his position en
titled him to say.
J udge Austin called both gentlemen to order and
auiet was resumed. The bonds were then referred
to the Finance committee, of which Mr. Jordan is
chairman, and the court adjourned until 10 o'clock
to-morrow morning.
Firo Xjast Night.
About 9 o'clock last night the fire alarm sounded ,
and in a little while afterward a bright light was
seen in the neighborhood of Postoffice street and
Bath avenue. The crowd that had been listlessly
hanging around the streets woke to animation and
hurried in lively fashion in the direction of the
blaze. When The News man reached the ground
appearances were decidedly in favor of a sweep of
the block. The flre department was slow in getting
around, ana ev<m then seemed to be acting without
ahead Captain Atkins rushed in and managed to
straighten a few odds and ends, and after a time
two engines got to where there were cisterns. No.
3 was the first to throw water, and it is
not makiug invidious comparison say that
to the work of this company is due the successful
quelling of the flames. The fire broke out in the
rear portion of a small two-story cottage on Post-
ortiue, near Twenty-fifth street, owned by Mrs.
Davis, mother of ex-Governor Davis, and occupied
as a boarding-house. It was one of the old land-
marks of the city, having been erected, it is said, in
1S47 The dames fed for the while on the wooden
frame as if it were so much tinder, and it seemed
that the whole block would go The
firemen fought bravely, however, and
finally succeeded in bringing the fire within the
limits of the one building, where It was finally
checked and subdued. The loss could not be as
certained last night, but it is known tkat the prop
erty was insured fer $5000 in the asancy of C. M.
Mason. This amount covers the adjacent building,
which is larger and much more valuable than the
one in which the fire occurred. There were one or
two out-houses totally destroyed, and the " L " of
the residence was partially burned. The adjacent
property was somewhat scorched and considerably
damaged by water. No idea has been obtained a's
to the origin of the flre.
Engine No. 5 played faithfully on the west side
of the building and did yeoman service. Mr. Bush,
of the company, recovered $31 in silT«r and a gold
ring from one of tho houses, and left it at the sta
tion-house to be called for.

The Hitchcock Jndg-zaontc.
[To The News.]
Galveston, December 9, 1882.—At a recent meet-
ing of the City Council 3Ir. Marlow took occasion
to remarit that I had voted for the Hitchcock set-
tlement. So I did. and I will state all 1 know about
the matter, and if Mr. Marlow knowc more, it is his
duty, not only as an alderman, but as a citizen, t£>
let the good people of Galveston know it. Mr. Mar-
low I think it was who introduced a petition tor
settlement in the council from Hitchcock's attor
ney, and it was referred until the following meet
ing, in order to give the members of the council
time to consider the matter. After inquiring into
the facts I iearned that Hitchcock had recovered a
judgment in the United States Circuit Court against
the city of Galveston, the interest on which
amounted to $28 per day, and the probabilities
were that the Supreme Court of the United States
would sustain the decision of the State tribunal. I
regarded it as a measure of economy to make the
proposed settlement and vote I for it aocordingly,
and would do so again under like circumstances.
Now, if Mr. Mar Jo w knows more about the mat-
ter he should impart some of his information to
his fellow-citizens. J ox Levy .

NEW ORLEANS-
The International Cotton Exposition
—A Large Cargo.
[Special Telegram to The News.]
New Orleans, December 9.—Colonel S. C. More-
head is in the city in the Interest of the proposed
International Cotton Exposition, in 1884. He has
sounded many of the leading merchants and manu-
facturers, but while all favor the exposition, and
think New Orleans is the proper place for it, few
hold out the hope that $500,000 will bo raised in
the city in order to secure it. The general impres-
sion is that the amount asked for is too large,'and
many think that the cotton interests of the city can
be better advanced by expending the same amount
of money in other ways, it is sate to say that New
Orleans will not get the exposition if it is required
to subscribe $500,000 for it.
A striking proof of the value of the jetties to tho
commerce of the Mississippi was given to-day.
The steamship Cormona, laden to the depth of 24

of cotton, and other freight which would make the

wharf this morning and, after a swift run, reached
the head of South pass at 2:45 p. m. Continuing
down the river she made the passage through the

A Chicago paper accuses the Stage Gossip of

Oscar Wilde has cut his hair. This is said to
have been accomplished by Steele Mackaye, who
has never ceased to ridicule his long locks. There
is a strong feeling in the Lamb's club that in time
Mr. Mackaye will succeed in making hiin cut his
velvet coat and his lectures. The influence of Del-
sarte, Mr. Wilde now acknowledges, is something
that no man can withstand.
An opera-house on wheels is the latest dramatic

complete, and is designed for the benefit of com-
munities which do not possess facilities for the
production of plays. It will run from place to
place on the railroads and carry a portable track,
upon which it can be switched off and transformed
into a theater.
The Chicago News Letter this week is brimful of
sprightly matters. It also says some naughty
things, as the foliowing will show:
The bovs are telling the following on Frank
Mayo: While playing the "legit," last season one
night as Hamlet, in the scene where Laertes wants
to throw himself in Ophelia's grave, Hamlet called
out: " Hold on thar; be sure you're right, then go
ahead."

Albany, N. \, December 9.—Joa P Queaves, of
New York, a stockholder of the Wt.tern Union
Telegraph company, made application to-day to
the attorney-general for commencement of an at-
tachment against the Western Union Telegraph
company and directors to vacate the charter and
annul the existence of the said company, and to re-
move the directors from office and compel them to
account for their official conduct on the manage-
ment of funds and property committed to their
charge. A large amount or documentary matter
accompanied tho application. The attorney-gen-
eral has decided to hear the case December 19.
New YojUt, December 9.—The Western Union of-
ficials make the following statement concerning
the application mentioned in the above dispatch.
The relator who institutes these proceedings is un-
derstrod to be a clerk of the house of Groesbeck &
Schuyley, stock brokers, who do business for most
of the leading men in the Mutual Union Telegraph
company. The application is doubtless a spiteful
retaliation of action taken against that company
and its directors by attorney-general on complaint
of Messrs. Cameron & Gould. It is no doubt far-
ther prompted by its supposed effect on the mar-
ket value of the stock, and the opportunities it may-
afford for stock jobbing operations. The petition
embraces all the leading steps in the growih of
the company since 1854, when its stock
and properties and business were very small.
Many of the actions charged as illegal have already
been litigated in the courts and their legality fully
sustained. The action complained of was taken
on the advice of able counsel after examination of
the statutes, and is still believed by our counsel to
have been strictly in accordance with the law.
Only yesterday the Mutual Union company made
an offer to lease its lines and properties to this
company, which, if we had accepted, these pro-
ceedings would not likely have been brought.
A Railroad Sold-
Cincinnati, December 9.—The Marietta and Cin-
cinnati railroad was sold at Chillicothe to-day un-
der foreclosure of boad, mortgage and decree of
sale by order of the Court of Common Pleas of
Chillicothe, Ross county, Ohio. The decree was
entered by the court on the 24th of last October.
The road was appraised at $0,554,825. The law re-
quires it shall be sold for not less than two-thirds
of appraised value. It was bid in by E. R. Bacon,
of New York, who, with Edwin Hambleton, of New
York, represented the committee on organization,
The road sold, with branches, comprises about 255
miles, of which about thirty miles is seldom used,
being abandoned because of a short cut at the
Ohio river extremity of the road. Thereorganiza
tion of the roaa is expected now.
This sale of the Marietta railway is subject to
confirmation by the court. A motion will be made
early next week to that effect, and if the sale is
confirmed, the deed will be made at once to the
purchasing committee, which is the committee on
reorganization. It was as a representative of this
committee that Mr. Garrett bid in the road. The
name of the consolidated line from Cincinnati to
Parkersburg has been confirmed. There is no talk
of opposition to the confirmation of the sale. It is
thought the transfers will all be made by next Sat-
urday.
Official Eloction Decision-
St. Louis, December 9.—The Post-Dispatch spe-
cial from Jefferson City says tho Supreme Court
issued a peremptory writ ordering the register to
count disputed precincts in the Ninth district. This
elects James O. Broadhead to Congress from the
Ninth district and defeats Mcuean, Republican.
The Supreme Court, while not deciding the point
as to validity in the old Second district, intimated
that the election was valid, hence Dr. McLean. Re-
publican, will take his seat in the present Congress
for the unexpired term of the late Hon. Thomas
Allen. McLean s majority, as figured out by the
city register, in the Ninth district was 21. Precincts
ordered counted add 123 votes to Broadhead, that
giving him a majority of 102. There is talk that
the secretary of state will refuse to issue a certifi-
cate to McLean for the short term in the old Sec-
ond district, as he claims it is legislated out of ex-
istence bv tl^e legislature. In this case McLean
will apply for a mandamus. The register is or-
dered by the Supreme Court to cast up the vote
Monday.
Desperate Prisoners-
Winnipeg, Manitoba, December 9.—A desperate
attempt to escape from the provincial penitentiary
at Stoney Mountain by prisoners yesterday was a
regular conspiracy led by Garvin, the American,
reoently sentenced to seven years for shooting Mc
Donald in a bar room fight. Garvin came behind
the guard, knocked him senseless, took his revol
ver and keys and called on the prisoners to follow
Warden Bedson came in and Garvin fired five shots
at him—all missed. Bedson grappled with Gar-
vin, threw him down, disarmed him, receiving a
severe cut on his arm with a knife the prisoner
had concealed. The guards appeared with rifies.and
ordered the rebels back. The prisoners sullenly
obeyed and all were soon under lock and key.
Sutter and Cheese Association-
Milwaueee, December 9.—The National Butter,
Cheese aud Egg association's annual convention
closed to-day, having proved generally satisfactory
as far as financial results are coucerned. Consid-
erable squabble arose in regard to the work of the
judges, who have not yet finished their labors, al-
though the convention adjourned and the fair
closed to-day. Great dissafisfaction exists among
exhibitors over the careless manner in which
judges of butter awarded premiums. It is said
the committee was composed mainly of Eastern
men, who were in too much of a hurry to return
home. Des Moines was decided upon as the place
of next convention.
2£urderod by Burglars-
Memphis, Tenn., December 9.—Before daylight
yesterday morning two masked men went to the
store of J. G. James, at Sharkey, Miss., aud
aroused the clerk, who was sleeping in the store
saying they wanted medicine. As the clerk opened
the door the men rushed in and fired four shots,
one of which struck him in the breast. He died in
three hours. The men demanded the keys of the
safe, but left without taking anything.

Pittsburoh, December 9.—The league players,
Galvin, Williamson, Burnett and Berge, who

will prevent any of these parties from playing in
American associations.

Houston Sun: A Sun reporter yesterday, in
conversation with a party from the construc-
tion force of the Gulf, Colorado aud Santa Fe
railway that is now working on the branch
approaching Houston, learned that there were
about six gangs of men under their various
contractors engaged in construction—some
grading, some laving ties and others iron.
They are all within a distance covering not
more than two miles, except the bridge gang,
which is at work on Bray's bayou bridge. The
track-layers keep well up with the grading
force, and are coming this w-ay at the rate of
one-half or three-fourths of a mile per day,
and are not more than eight miles from here
and almost due west from Harrisburg. The
whole force numbers not less than 8tK)
men, with a large complement of horses
and wagons. At the rate of progress they
are making Houston will be reached m 16 days
at furthest, or about the 20th instant. The
force on Bray's bayou bridge is getting along
rapidly, but should the other force reach the
bayou before the bridge is ready for crossing it
will not delay the work, as they will commence
working on this side of the bayou immediately.
It is said that trains will bo put on just as soon
as the work is done, and will considerably
shorten the time between hero and Galveston.

SCROFULOUS, ITCHING AND SCALY
HUMORS OF THE SKIN, SCALP
AND BLOOD CURED.
MIRACULOUS CURX5-
i will now state that I made a miraculous cure of
one of the worst cases of skin disease known. The
patient is a man forty years old; had suffered fif-
teen years. Ilis eyes, scalp and nearly his whole
body presented a frightful appearance. Had had
the attention of twelve different physicians, who
described the beat remedies known to the pro-
ession, such as iodide potassium, arsenic, corrosive
sublimate, sarsaparilla, etc. Had paid $500 for med-
ical treatment, with but little relief. I prevailed
upon him to use the Cutlcura Resolvent (blood
purifier) internally, and the Cuticura aud Cuticura
soap externally. He did so, and w as completely
cured. The skin ou his nead. facc and many other
parts of his body, which presented a most loath-
some appearance, is now as soft and smooth as an
infant's, with no scar or trace of the disease loft
behind. He has now been cured twelve months.

Rev. Dr. , in detailing his experience with
the Cuticura Remedies, said that through divine
providence one of his parishiooers was cured of a
scrofulous sore, which was slowly draining away
his Mfe. by the Cuticura Resolvent (blood purifier)
internally, and Cuticura and Cuticura Soap exter-
nally. The poison that had fed the disease was
completely driven out.
ECZEMA.
Sixteen months since an eruption broke out on
my :eg and both feet, which turned out to be Ec-
zema, ancl caused me great paiu and annoyance. I
tried various remedies with no good results, until
I used the Cuticura Resolvent (blood purifier) inter-
nally. and Cuticura and Cuticura Soap externally,
which entirely cured me, so that my skin is as
smooth and natural as ever.

LTo The News.l
Madisonville, December 6, 1882.—The
weather for the last week or ten days has been
favorable for cotton-picking and manufac-
turing ribbon sugar-cane into sirup. I was
shown a sample of sirup to-day manufactured
by one of our farmers, and I am very certain
that I have never seen a better article. Our
farmers are endeavoring to get the cotton crop
picked before tho holidays set in, but it is im-
possible. In traveling over the countiy it
sterns that at least half of the crop produced
the present year still remains in the fields, and
much of it has fallen out of the bolls, and is
lying on the ground. Our merchants still con-
tinue to purchase the cotton as it is brought in,
and wagons are continually loading with cot-
ton and wending their way to Huntsville. not-
withstanding the roads are in a very baa con-
dition.
The health of our people is now generally
good, and our physicians can again be seen sit-
ting about the store doors engaged in whittling
on goods boxes.
The hogs that lived through last winter have
grown fat on the mast, and scarcely a day
passes, when the weather is cool enough, that a
number of wagons loaded with pork for sale
can not be seen on our streets.
Much preparation is being made for the
holidays, both by the young and older people
of our town.
Our District Court will commence at this
place on Christmas day. There are a number
of murder cases on the docket, but they are
generally continued to suit the pleasure of
those who are accused. OB9BRVER.
"Believe me, America to-day, to gave her-
self, must save the world." So said a stalwart
advocate of missions before tho American
board. We believe it. The New World has
reached at one and the same time a point of
prosperity and a position of peril. !So closely
is our future the future of the world, so vital
with all lands, that
ouger sing or swim of ourselves

and if tho world goes under morally, it will
take us along.
There is a large share of common sense in
the world's average judgment, after all. If it

lips, aud something quite different written all

crepancy aad utotor some harsh criticism, but
