Houston, Tex., Sept. 5.—The Sand Crabs
took a good hard fall out of the Buffaloes
at League park this afternoon, beating
them by a score of 7 to 2 in a game that
was called on account of darkness before
the eighth inning was completed.
The tale is easily read in the hit and
error columns. Houston made six hits and
six errors, Galveston eleven hits, one a
home run, and two errors.
And there you are.
Tim banner crowd of the season is ex-
pected to turn out to-morrow. Galveston s
big delegation will be met by the Houston
fans, two bands will play, the rooters will
root and a grand finale will be written to
the baseball season of 1&96. Roach will
manage the ordnance department for the
home team, and Smith will do the honors
for the visitors.

balloon-like curves were all kinds of pie for
the Bronchos, who swatted them all over
the field. Nevin was invincible, and it was
only by a fluke that the Senators escaped
a shut out. Elsey got a homer, with two

off live hits out of that many times up,
two of them doubles. The game was sharp

BEFORE THE BATTLE.
To-Dny the Inited Forces of Galves-
ton anil Houston Face Eaeh Other.
All was quiet and serene at the Crab
camp at 2 o'clock this morning, where
King Wilhelm and his army of gallant war-
riors bold of nerve untold were peacefully
enjoying a night's rest preparatory to the
long march and battle at high noon with
the enemy, the, Houston terribles, known
as the Buffalo tribe. His Lord Highship
Gyasticuruss Don Hunter of Houston was
busily engaged dispatching couriers and
gathering his army to defend the name
and honor of the Texas championship, the
right to which belongs justly to King Wil-
helm by yesterday's victory. The Buffaloes
were reinforced last night, and will pull off
a bitter fight, to-day. Fortilied in their own
fort and with every entrance to the city
carefully guarded, it will take a strong
force and a powerful fire to remove the
enemy.
Promptly at 10.35 o'clock this morning
three long blasts of the locomotive whistle
will announce the departure of the larg-
est, jolliest, greatest and most unique ag-
gregation of rooters that ever breathed
the salt atmsophere of the gulf or lost their
vocal powers gufing the umpire through
a tin horn. The run on the Galveston,
Houston and Henderson special train,
known as the "Seabirds' Hummer," will
be made to Houston in just one hour and
five minutes. The gaily decorated special,
with the United States. Texas and Rooter-
dom flags dancing in the breeze to the mu-
sic of the Royal band, will steam into the
International depot at 11.35 a. m., where
a reception royal and loud will be ten-
dered by the Houston association of root
ers. accompanied by Herb's flight guard
band, in battle attire. The procession will
form at the depot and march to the Hutch-
ins house, where all will do justice to re-
freshments served in abundance.
In ^addition to the numerous social and
athletic societies that will attend the cele-
bration, as mentioned in yesterday's News,
the Galveston press club held a meeting at
midnight last night, and it was unanimous-
ly voted that the club attend in a body
afid tender their services to chronicle the
battle should the Buffaloes meet defeat.
On the other hand, should the Sand Crwbs
fall victims to the Buffaloes' slaughter, the
Houston press club members will be af-
forded the dying pleasure of describing the
battle which marks the death of the noble
Crabs, whose death will surely and certain-
ly be game. The president of the club noti-
fied the Houston president of the action of
the meeting, and received a favorable re-
ply at 12.02 this morning. The immense li-
brary of the Galveston press club contains
1200 volumes on ancient and modern wars.
Most of them were perused by the mem-
bers last night, and much valuable infor-
mation, phrases, expressions and common
vernacular studied and stored for use to-
day.
King Wilhelm received a ship load of
canes from Li Hung Chang yesterday,
with compliments of his jiblits. These
weapons will be distributed to the members
of the Galveston rootatorial association
and their frienas.
The badges of gray silk ribbon were dis-
tributed last night. The inscription, above
a ghastly skull and cross bones stampp'l
thereon, reads as follows: "Galveston
rootatorial association. We are dead in
it. September ♦>. 1890."
The golden-bound book which does not
belong in heaven, is used for the reg-
istration of all good and true citizens of
rooters' faith or sympathizers with the
great cause for which Galveston and Hous-
ton will light like cats and dogs and the
Hogan alley goats to-day. Up to midnight
last night, with Sir Julius and five poor-
ly paid assistants to the imperial secretary
eweltering in the heat of an electric fan
in King Wilhelm's coop, the crowds were
jamming and jostling for the privilege of
autographing in the golden book. Many
were called, two multitudes responded, but
the lightning penmen of the royal court
were only able to transcribe the follow-
ing as recruits who will work, and, if nec-
essary. sacrifice their life insurance in de-
fending the king and boosting the Gal-
veston Sand Crabs:
Wm. C. Williams (King Wilhelm"), chief
rooter: Lawrence Samuels, "Me;" William
Patricus, lord high painter of the royal

Last Game in Galveston.
While the matter of the last league game
between Galveston and Houston will not
detract from the great interest and en-
thusiasm of to-day's demonstration in
Houston, Galveston will have the last
league game of the season.
Manager Dermody wired last night from
Houston that he had arranged for the last
game between Houston and Galveston to
be played at the Beach park to-morrow.

The maritime association met with the
representatives of the local railroads at
the Beach hotel yesterday morning, as
outlined in The News. All the roads were
represented save the C?ulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe, both Mr. Polk and Mr. Goodwyn
being out of the city. Traffic Manager C.
W. Bein represent^ the Southern Pacific,
J. W. Allen, general' freight a^t?nt of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas, Assistant
General Freight Agent F. O. Becker of the
International and Great Northern, General
'reight and Passenger Agent J. E. Gal-
braith of the International and Great
Northern, Manager J. H, Hill of the Gal-
eston, Houston and Henderson and Agent
Smith of the Galveston, La Porte and
Houston were present. There was a good
attendance of the members of the maritime
association.
A number of the railroad men were inter-
viewed by a News representative as to the
result of the meeting, and blood failed to
flow from the turnips. Each directed the
reporter to President Dan Ripley of the
maritime association. Mr. Ripley was seen.
Well, now, you had better see someone
else," said he, "for 1 am a layman now,
or soon will be."
"What do you mean? Have you resigned
the presidency?"
My business interests make it impossi-
ble for me to longer serve as the president
of the association."
"You have resigned?"
"Well, that will probably be announced
in a few days."
"Who will succeed you?"
"That has not been determined upon yet."
Mr. Ripley was then plied with questions
about the meeting, but beyond the fact that
the meeting discussed the handling of cot-
ton on the wharves to prevent blockades,
and talked over the system of recompress-
ing, and adjourned to meet again without
accomplishing anything, no information
was obtained.

Mr. C. F. W. Felt, who recently succeed-
ed to the title of chief engineer of the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe, was yester-
day initiating some new people into his of-
fice and changing things around generally.
The handling of the multitudinous affairs
of his office has necessitated an increase in
his force. Mr. W. L. Burroughs, who has
been roadmaster's clerk at Temple for a
number of years? began work yesterday as
Mr. Felt's chief clerk. A new typewriter
is clicked by Miss Maggie Mitchell, who
acts as stenographer to Mr. Felt. Mr.
Felt hopes to have everything in ship shape
by the 15th.

Passenger and Ticket Agent Max Nau
mann of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe
yesterday received a telegram from Trav-
eling Passenger Agent W. F. Tuley at
Monett, Ark., of the same road, announc-
inj^that the first of the new sleepers would
arrive on No. 5 this morning. No. 5 ar-
rives at 9.15. The telegram states that no
finer cars are on any line. The Santa Fe
inaugurated a dining car service between
Dallas and Monett some three weeks ago
and at the same time made arrangements
with the Pullman company for a number
of new twelve-section sleepers to run on
the limited train. The Santa Fe is keeping
at the head of the procession.

IMMIGRATION THRO' GALVESTON.
It Is Attracting Attention All Over
the United States.
Following is an editorial from the Flori
da Times-Union of Jacksonville, Fla.:
The Southern States magazine calls at
tention to a movement that promises ma
terial benefit to the south. The Missouri
Kansas and Texas railroad has made low
rates from Galveston northward, and
seeking to bring the immigrants bound
from Europe to Kansas, Nebraska and oth
er western states, through Galveston in
stead of by New York. The North German
Lloyd and the Hamburg-American steam
ship lines, backing up this movement, hav
made arrangements to run boats regularly
between Bremen and Hamburg and Gal
veston.
The Southern States magazine also no
tices the tendency of immigrants to settle
near the place oi their landing in this
country. Turning to the census of 1890,
we find that 22.3 per cent of the population
of New England, New York, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania are of foreign birtl
while only 11.8 per cent of the balance ol'
the country is foreign born.
The north has gotten nearly all of th
immigration largely because, it came
through northern ports. The* south,
elusive of the border states and Florid,
and Texas, which on account of their loc
tion have had immigration from Cuba and
Mexico, with a population of 13,079,320, num
bers among its people only 147,242 persons o
foreign birth. This is only l.L per cent
and counting these states, the foreign bor .
population, of tho south numbers less than
4 per cent of its entire population.
with steamship lines running direct t
southern ports, the south will get more
or less of the benefits to be derived from
foreign immigration, and the movement re-
ferred to by the Southern States magazine,

Carpenter Still Alive.
Jefferson, la., Sept. 3.—The need of a
through line of railway from Minneapolis
to the Gulf of Mexico, passing through the
western part of Iowa, has long been felt.
There is reason to believe that within a
year work to accomplish this will have
sufficiently materialized to make its ulti-
mate completion a certainty. The route
contemplated Is a direct air line, as near
as possible, from Galveston, Tex., to At-
lantic, la., thence northeast in a direct line
to Minneapolis. From Minneapolis south
it is proposed to use the tracks of the Min-
neapolis and St. Louis road as tar as Angus.
The main line of this runs from Minne-
apolis to Des Moines, thence to St. Louis,,
but at Ogden a branch runs down to Angus.
The distanco from Angus to Atlantic City
is sixty-four miles.
Mr. Carpenter, manager of the Gulf and
Manitoba railway, has been in this section
he past week looking over the ground,
conferring with leading citizens of the prin-
ipal towns through which it is proposed
to secure right of way. and is encouraged
over the proffers oi substantial support
made. F. H. Whitney of Atlantic, president
of a national bank, has headed the sub-
scription with $1.>,ouo. Steps are being taken
to call an .election, for the purpose oi voting
a per cent tax to aid in the construction of
the line.
Kicking About Weifcbiiitt Cotton.
A meeting of the executive board of the
Southwestern traffic association has been
called at headquarters in this city on
Thursday, September, 17, says the St. Louis
Gloln* Democrat. Questions of more than
ordinary importance are to be discussed at
this meeting, and there will be a tuil at-
tendance. Among the leading subjects on
the docket is the refusal of the Chicago,
Rock island and Pacitic and the Texas and
Pacific to pay fines assessed against them
by the board of administration for viola-
tions of the agreement. An amendment to
the agreement is proposed, with a view of
strengthening the penalty clause. Another
matter to be discussed is the refusal of the
Texas lines to obey the order of the board
of administration in respect of the arrange-
ments for weighing cotton at Texas points.
The executive officers will be asked to ap-
prove the action of the board of adminis-
tration in assuming control of rates on
Mexican traffic and then will likewise be
asked to approve the agreement made by
the board of administration with the Louis-
ville and Nashville railroad company for
the control of Mexican business via Tam-

A special dispatch from Chicago td a St.
Louis paper says that the Missouri Pacific
a few days ago reduced the rates on wheat
and corn from Wichita and other points in
Kansas to St. Louis from lc to 2c per 100
pounds below rates then in effect. Notice
was given by the Santa Fe to-day that it
would meet the Missouri Pacific's rates with
correspondingly low rates to Chicago. The
new tariff frum the principal Kansas points
is as follows: Wichita: Wheat 16c, corn
12c; Arkansas City, 16c and 12c; Belle Plaine,
10c and 112c; MePherson, 18c and 14c; Gene-
seo, 21c and 17c. There are corresponding
reductions of from lc to 3c from all other
points.

Tobacco Growing.
Conroe, Montgomery Co., Tex., Sept. 4.—
Montgomery county still holds her own as
a producing county. Three hogsheads of
classed leaf tobacco for "bright plug wrap-
pings" were consigned to St. Louis manu-
facturers to-day by Mr. E. R. Smith, who
lives just north of town, and he will have
more to follow.
Mr. Smith is a native Kentuckian and
was raised in the tobacco regions of that
state and has had considerable experience
in tobacco growing. Speaking of Montgom-
ery county in comparison with Kentucky
for tobacco, he says that advantages are
more favorable here, as three crops can be
easily gathered here with favorable sea-
sons, against one in Kentucky, and the
grade classes better.
The tobacco grown here tinds ready sale
in northers markets, botli for chewing and
cigar purposes. A great deal more would
be shipped away, but the manufacturing
by home concerns consumes a big crop,
which is becoming a prolitable enterprise
in Montgomery county.

geon.
Other non-commissioned officers not yet
selected. Rev. W. J. Sechrist was elected
president and F. M. Pond secretary and
treasurer.
Until further orders the company will
meet every Thursday evening at drill. Busi-
ness meetings will be held on the first
Thursday night in each month. Uniforms
will be ordered as soon as it is deemed ad-
visable. There are forty-live names on the
list, thirty-five of whom signed the roll
