IMPROVEMENTS.
NO ACTION ON THE FERRY.
Petition to Retain Mn. Flannafan at
the Hoapltal Referred to the
Charity Committee. j
The commissioners' court held another
adjourned session yesterday. The prin-
cipal object of the meeting was the con-
sideration of bids for re grading and shell-
ing certain mainland roads, and also to
bring the commissioners together for the
purpose of hearing the views of Mr. Fox
Winnie and Mr. L. P. Featherstone. gen-
eral manager and secretary, respectively,
of the Gulf and Interstate railroad, upon
the proposition of a joint ferry between
Galveston and Bolivar point, by which ar-
rangement the road would have its cars
transferred and the county afford free
ferry to citizens.
The consideration of the bids for road
building again emphasised the fact that
there was a paintul void existent in the
road and bridge fund of the county, and
no way was found to provide the where-
with to pay for road improvements with-
out r Tuning counter to the law as set forth
in the opinions of the county attorney and
Messrs. Mott and Stubbs. Mr. Vidor, chair-
man of the finance committeee, is author-
ity for the statement that there are now
outstanding warrants against this fund ag-
gregating $-3,000. which warrants bear in-
terest at the rate of 6 per cent per annum.
The anticipated revenues to arise from
taxes levied for the current year, and
which will not be collected until next year,
are but $25,000, or just about sufficient to
retire the warrants already issued, so the
condition of the road and bridge fund can
be fairly expressed by a string of naughts.
Indeed, Judge Lockhart says he is not will-
ing to proceed with road improvements
and ignore the legal opinion* referred to,
while Mr. Vidor believes that If warrants
are issued for work absolutely needed and
honestly done no or.,- will have just ground
for complaint. Further than this he in-
timates that if the lines are tightly drawn
under these opinions, the spirit which now
moves for the employes of the road and
bridge gang and supplies and material
therefor to the extent of $900 a month, will
vanish like thin air and all work will stop.
All members of the court were in attend-
ance and the first n\atter to engage their
attention was the personal application of
Mr. Neil Dahl of the Denver and Galves-
ton investment company, successors to the
South Galveston land company, asking for
a reduction in the assessment of the com-
pany's property, fie complained that the
assessment for 1895 was higher than for
the previous year and asked that the old
figures be restored. The petition was
granted.
The contract between the county and
James 11. Fulford for the painting of the
steel work of the West bay bridge by the
latter, for the sum of $1145, was read by
Judge Lockhart. Fulford's sureties on his
bond were Messrs. George W. Outterslde
and Harry Devlin. Fulford acknowledged
it to be the contract signed by him, it met
with the approbation of the court, and it
was therefore formally approved and or-
dered recorded.
Mr. Vidor nominated Daniel L. Deary for
the position of inspector of the bridge
painting and Mr. Deary was elected. Mr.
Westerlage, in accordance with his former
protest against a special inspector, voted
no. Mr. Fulford notified the Inspector to
be on hand at 7.30 o'clock to-morrow morn-
ing, at which hour he will begin work.
Bids for the construction of certain roads,
laid over from the former session, were
then taken up. They, together with the
bids made, are as follows:
1. Highland bayou bridge to Fairwood: J.
M. Griswold, filling and regrading. 10 cents
per cubic yard; shelling roadway for a
width of ten feet and depth of eight inches,
$4731.75, or for any width and depth de-
sired, $1.35 per cubic yard. Stuart Wlieeler,
regradins^ind filling, $115 per mile; shell-
ing, $1.45 per cubic yard.
uired upon each, also an estimate of the
helling required.
It was therefore ordered that County
Surveyor Hoxie make such a survey, the
roads to be shelled to a width of 10 feet
and a depth of 6 inches.
The bids of Messrs. Griswold and Wheeler
were rejected and their checks ordered re-
turned.
Mr. Vidor offered the following resolu-
tion. prefixing it with the statement that
it was drawn in pursuance of the opinion
recently givTui hy the county attorney that
the county might assist the city in making
street improvements:
Resolved, that bids for the* construction
of a roadway on Thirty-ninth street, from
avenue H to Broadway, and thence west
on Broadway to the county road, be adver-
tised for. Sealed bids to be received up to
the 15th day of April, when the same will
be opened, and the bids must be in round
figures for the entire work, and the work
to be done under the supervision and direc-
tion of the city engineer and county sur-
veyor, the county reserving the right to
reject any and all bids.
The finished roadway to be sixteen feet
wide, slightly curved from the center, prop-
erly graded and surfaced to receive mate-
rial. The work to be protected from slip-
ping by three-inch planking, twelve inches
wide, supported by posts 4x6 inches by 4
feet, set not more than eight feet from cen-
ters and deep enough to bring curbing even
with outer edge of roadway. Bids to be
for creosoted and also for uncreosoted lum-
ber. Estimates to be made separately for
the following material, including the above
grading, surfacing and curbing:
1. Four inches of reef shell, then seven
inches of gravel laid thereon and then one
inch of reef shell for binding, all thor-
oughly rolled.
2. Eleven inches of gravel and one inch
of reef shell thereon for binding, thor-
oughly rolled.
3. Two inches of reef shell, then eight
inches of broken rock, and then two inches
of reef shell for binding, all thoroughly
rolled.
4. Twelve inches of gravel, containing its
own binding qualities, thoroughly rolled.
5. Eight inches of broken rook and then
four inches of binding gravel, well rolled.
6. One tier of vitrified brick, laid on edge
at right angles to curbing, " surface to be
wetted and thoroughly rolled before lay-
ing brick.
Samples of material to be submitted for
inspection.
Bids will also be received for construct-
ing roadway between Fifty-sixth street on
Broadway west to county road. Also for
completing the shelling of the county road
to beach.
Mr. Vidor again referred to the depleted
condition of the road and bridge fund, and
said that he introduced the resolution
merely for the purpose of helping along
the good roads movement, and with the
view of finding out what a highway of that
character could be built for in this city.
• But," said Mr. Wheeler, "if you have
no funds on hand to pay for the work, and
if you kr.ow that you can not award the
contract, what is the use of putting the
contractois to the trouble of figuring upon
the work? Would It not be belter to get
an estimate from an engineer? Besides
this method of inviting bids would be an
Injustice to the contractors, for their bids
would bo exposed."
Mr. Vidor said it was not his intention
that bids should be advertised for more
than once, but the original bids would be
held to be considered when funds became
available.
"Well, that's different," said Mr. Whee-
ler.
Mr. Vidor's resolution was adopted and
ordered published in The News and the
Tribune for five consecutive Sundays.
Clerk Burgess called the attention of the
court to the fact that many changes had
been made In the boundaries of voting pre-
cincts since the last map was made, and he
thought the county surveyor should be in-
structed to make a new map delineating
the boundaries as they now exist. So or-
dered.
the docket of the criminal district court of
Galveston county were brought to trial,
there has been very little trouble in this
county in the matter of occupation taxes
and licenses. Quite a number of cases of
somewhat more recent date still remain
upen the docket, however, but they are
being gradually worked off. These were
set for trial yesterdav. but owing to the ab-
sence of State Revenue Agent Morrison,
who is wajited as a witness, most of the
cases were continued. A number of the
cases were nolle prosequied. because the
defendants produced their papers, and sev-
eral were dismissed upon the defendants
paying the taxes and costs. One case was
tried and one bond forfeited.

3. From end of shell road on mainland

any width and depth desired, $1.30 per cubic
yard. Stuart Wheeler, regrading and fill-
ing, $115 per mile; shelling, $1.30 per cubic
yard.
There was some little discussion between
the two bidders in regard to road No. 1,
as it seemed they did not agree upon the
distance to be regraded and shelled. But
this cut but little figure, in the light of
subsequent developments.
Judge Lockhart wanted to know if the
county had the money to pay for the work,
and Mr. Vidor responded that it did not.
Of course warrants might be issued to
some extent, but the whole thing would
cost over $10,000.
Judge Lockhart desired a statement of
the assets and liabilities of the road and
bridge fund. This Mr. Vidor was not pre-
pared to give accurately offhand. He said
that, according to the ruling of the county
attorney, the revenues to arise from this
year's taxes, now that the levy has been
made, might be appropriated and warrants
issued against them. Still, he did not think
it was treating the people of Galveston,
who pay most of the taxes of the county,
exactly right to have all the improvements
made on the mainland and none on the
island.
Mr. Reyder thought a part of the work
might be done, and Mr. Wheeler, as a citi-
zen, suggested the improvement of the.
worst part of the Fairwood road, which
did not exceed a mile in length.
Judge Lockhart wanted to go on record
as being much in favor of good roads as
anybody, but, as against the court mak-
ing contracts that will run counter to the
opinion of the county attorney and of
Messrs. Mott and Stubbs. that is, where
the warrants issued to cover such con-
tracts will reach beyond the amount in
sight from taxes already levied.
Mr. Wheeler thought $4500 would fix the
worst places in all three of the roads.
Mr. Vidor stated that there were no
funds to the credit of the road and bridge
department; on the contrary, there are
warrants outstanding against the fund ag-
gregating $23,000, and the revenues antici-
pated on taxes for 1896 are about $25,000.
"That will leave you but $2000 for road
improvements this year," said Judge Lock-
hart, and Clerk Burgess thereupon sug-
gested that the regular monthly expendi-
tures in that department were about $900.
Mr. Vidor said his objection to the work
under consideration was that too much had
already been done upon mainland roads,
while the island roads had been neglected.
The roads were so bad that milkmen were
prevented from getting to town at times,
and families were compelled to do without
milk. Mr. Westerlage expressed sympathy
for his brother commissioners, saying he
thought they had been weaned. He thought
it inconsistent that money should be ex-
pended for painting the bridge, and then
not fix the roads leading to it so as to
make them passable. «
"Gentlemen, I want you to bear in mind
that this court can issue legitimate war-
rants, and that it can also issue illegiti
mate warrants," said Judge Lockhart, "and
I will not be a party to anything which
goes beyond the law as given to us in the
opinions of the county attorney and
Messrs. Mott and Stubbs.
"Then you might as well take the road
and bridge gang off," said Mr. Vidor, "for
under that view we have no money to pay
it. As long as we are not wasting the
money of the county in unnecessary work,
but spending it honestly for improvements
which are absolutely necessary, I shall not
be afraid of the consequences. I would
like to give these people some relief, but
scarcely know how to do it. I wouldn .
hesitate to issue warrants for $2000 or $3000,
but I don't know just what road we should
put the amount in." He suggested that
Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Griswold each bring
in a bid for the entire work, so that the
commissioners would know more definitely
what they might do. Mr. Wheeler .eug
gested that the sections of the road# de-
sired to be improved were not stated With
sufficient definiteness for the contractors
make a lump bid, and he thought the
court should have the county surveyor
make a survey and report upon the num-
ber ui yards of Ailing aud regrading ra-
resolve itself into the Bolivar ferry com
mittee in order that the proposition of
Messrs. Winnie and Featherstone might
be heard, but Mr. Featherstone said he had
another engagement which he must tiH,
and he asked the court to name some other
day for the conference. They Informed
him that they would meet him any day
upon twenty-four hours' notice, and as this
arrangement proved satisfactory Messrs.
"^eatherstone and Winnie withdrew.
The following petition was read:
Honorable W. B. Lockhart, County
Judge, and County Commissioners of Gal-
eston County—Gentlemen: We, the un-
dersigned ladies, citizens of Galvestcm
county, respectfully request that your lion-
ors retain at the hospital Mrs. Annie Flan-
nagan She is old, a cripple, and almost
blind, and she will be a charge upon some
of the charitable institutions of the county,
her health not being good at any time. We
respectfully request that you keep her at
the hospital, as we think it can be done as
cheaply there as anywhere else. By doing
so you will relieve those who would other-
wise have to take care of her, which we
respectfully ask you to do.
Mrs. John A. Harrington. Mrs. Blum,
Mrs. B. M. Temple, Mrs. C. M. Beal, Mrs.
M. E. Reading, Mrs. C. Dart, Mrs. R. M.
Phelps, Mrs. L. S. McKinney, Mrs. T. Wm.
English, Mrs. Chas. F. Settle, Mrs. F. Har-
rington, Mrs. R. H. Coombs. Mrs. W. E.
Gregory, Mrs. T. J. Goree, Mrs. I. Loven-
berg, Mrs. J. A. Owens.
Mr. Vidor moved that the petition be
granted. Mr. Westerlage declined to vote,
saying that it would establish a bad prece-
dent and all of those discharged would
want to be taken back. The motion, after
considerable discussion, prevailed. Then
there was some more discussion upon the
desirability of having the charity commit-
tee visit the infirmary and see if a reduced
rate could be obtained for this woman
Then the suggestion was made that this
reduction might be extended to all cases
not requiring constant medical attention.
A motion on this line failed, only Mr. Vi-
dor voting for it. Then all the discussion
and the former motion were made void
and held for naught, and a motion pre-
vailed that the charity committee should
investigate Mrs. Flannagan's case, and
that they be clothed with power to act.
A communication was read from Mr. J.
R. Cheek, agent, in which he informed the
court that, believing the body to be actu-
ated by a motive to secure the best bargain
for the county for the least money, he was
led to offer the county, for hospital pur-
poses, the property at the northwest corner
of Thirty-third and K for $8500. The lot is
130 by 150'feet, and there is a large two-
story, ten-room house upon it. The com-
munication was received and ordered filed.
Mrs. Mina Ruenbuhl, through her attor-
ney. wanted to know what had been done
in the way cl' awarding her damages for
running a road through her property down
the island. Referred to the county at-
torney.

Bright & Co. of Houston, real estate
agents, have filed a suit in the civil dis-

ary 14. 1894, plaintiffs appointed defendants
as their agents for the sale of their lands;
that plaintiffs were to receive 10 per cent
commissions upon all sales of land made
by them or because of their advertising the
property; that plaintiffs fitted up offices in
Houston at great expense and extensively
advertised the property, also corresponding
with many persons concerning the same;
that as a result of such advertising and
correspondence the Ijambert-Haines com
pany of Kansas City Became interested in
the property and brought to Texas a large
colony, to whom a large quantity of the
hinds were sold; that although defendants
had formerly kept their portion of the said
contract, they declined to pay the com-
missions upon the sales made through the
Lambert-Haftnes company, as a result of
such advertising and correspondence by
plaintiffs; that, such sale* aggregated $21),-
146.85, and plaintiffs are entitled to 10 per
cent commission upon the same. They
now ask judgment for $2,946.68.
Turned Tliem Loose.
Two bright boys in knickerbockers,
named Bud Riskoo and Johnny Poole, were
arrested about ten days ago upon a charge
of stealing four pairs of shoes from
merchant in the west end. When their case
was called in the criminal district court
yesterday and District Attorney Gillas-
pie perceived their diminutive proportions
and extreme youth, he was puzzled as to
what course should be taken. The boys
protested their innocence, and upon inquir-
ing of Special Officer Duffy, who .was
present, and ascertaining that the boys had
previously borne a good reputation, Mr.
Gillaspie asked the court to nolle pros the
case. Judge (Javin called the boys up to
his seat, and, after giving them some
good advice, sent them home.

exhibited in this city is to be found at I.

"Wang:."
"Wang," In all of Its glory and magnifi-
cence, with Mr. Albert Ilart in the leading
role, is announced for Its farewell visit
hero Friday and Saturday nights, with
Saturday matinee. An exchange says of
this season's production: "The academy
of music was for the third time crowded to
the doors last night by a delighted and
enthusiastic, lot of Jersey City people.
Never in the history of fhe academy has
Manager Henderson scored such suoa
'Wang' by the present company, and under
the management of D. W. Truss, has never
been equaled. A line was formed at tho
box office last night and every seat was
occupied when the curtain rose on tho
opening scene of 'Wang.' Late comers were
forced to stand in a fringe behind tho
souts. The story of 'Wang' is familiar to
theatergoers, and has been published In
this Journal in connection with the produc-
tion. It had a run of 250 nights at the
Broadway in New York, which proved its
merits as a favorite, it is more magnifi-
cent than ever this season. The scenery Is
elegant and entirely new; the music, which
is catchy, has been brightened; the local
hits are irresistible; the pretty girls, in gor-
geous costumes, fill tho stage, and 'Wang'
is Indescribably funny. Those who were
present last night went away with visions
of bright scenes, pretty girls, gorgeous col-
oring and bits of fun and music lingering
in their minds, and not one of them will
recall 'Wang' without a pleased smile. The
management of the theater had looked
upon 'Wang' as the event of the seasoh,
and judging from the crowd last night the
public had the same opinion."

Aboard Ship.
Sea voyages are usually deemed promo-
tive of health. So they are in most cases.
But It may well be doubted if the shaking
up aboard ship, which people of very frag-
ile constitution and weak nerves get, is not
prejudicial if its effects are not averted or
nullified by a medicinal safeguard. The
best, if we are to believe tho testimony of
ocean travelers, whether they go abroad for
health, pleasure or business, is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Invalids, commercial trav-
elers, sea captains and yachtsmen concur
in recommending this fine defensive tonic.
So do emigrants to the frontier, the Inhab-
itants of malarious regions, and all who
are exposed to hardship or rigors of cli-
mate. For malarial, rheumatic or kidney
trouble, nervousness, dyspepsia, liver com-
plaint and constipation It is eminently ef-
ficacious, and commended by the medical
fraternity far and near.
Don't put up with smoking
or smelly lamps or breaking
chimneys.

er gee the right shape and size
