RAILWAY COMMISSION HEARING.
Adjourned—Testimony to Show Operating
and Construction Expenses.
The railway commission concluded ite in-
vestigations yesterday and broke camp. Tho
■whole trend of the testimony was in the lino
ofJdemonstratiuK that it coat more to build and
operate a railroad in Texas than any other
state in the union. Tho testimony taken re-
ferred chiefly to tho Cotton Bolt road.
The hearing was finished yesterday aftor-
noon, and most of tho members left for their
homes.
The testimony to bo taken out of tho state
by the commission will bo in St. Louis on
beer rates and in points in Kansas. Tho law
provides that the commission can compel the
attendance of a witness only from points with-
in 100 miles of whera that body may be in
session.
International Courtesies.
From a late Matamoros paper it is observed
that at the conclusion of the late term of the
United States court in Brownsviilo, Judge and
Mrs. Maxey and Colonel R. G. Street and
daughter were given a farowoll banquet at tho
hospitable residence of Don Manuol Trevino,
in Matamoros. Mr. Trevino is Mexican con-
sul in Brownsviilo. Among tho American
guests wore Captain R. Dalzell and family,
Mrs. William Kelly| and daughter and Dr.
Macmanus. Mexico was represented by Gen-
eral Lojoro, Don Francisco Trevino Canales
and Don Juan Trovino, brother of tho host.
The banquet was graced by the hospitable
charm of tho Mexicans, and closod with toasts
and finally an interchange of patriotic senti-
ments for the two sister republics.
Real Estate Transfers.
The following transfers of real estate were
filed for record yesterday:

THE GLASS WHEEL WILL NOW TAKE
A REST.
About Twenty Policy Agencies Shut Up.
This Was a Game Which Paid Better
Than Any Bank in Texas.
No more gig and saddlo.
The glass policy wheel will now take a rost,
and parents whoso children have been playing
policy can rccover from thoir alarm. And all
because tho policy game has boen closod in
.Galvestou.
Yesterday Chief of Police Jordan notified
his officers to close a\l of the policy joints.
And they were closed, commencing with tho
man who runs the game and going down
through all of the sellers of tickets.
About twenty dealors in policy tickets were
shut up. One of these was a reputable mer-
chant, others were small grocers, saloon keep-
ers and straight out policy men.
Chief Jordan stated yesterday that neither
policy nor craps shall bo playod in Galvos-
ton while he holds his office.
Incident to this it may be stated that this
outrageous policy business in Galveston has
paid larger dividends than did ever any bank
in Texas. And all of this good money was
taken from the pockets of thoso who could
least afford it—from children and tottering
women, from anyone who would buy.

varieties of fruits in tho coast country are so
different from those of the north and from
those even in the upper portion of Texas that
a man can obtain in a few minutes' talk
knowledge that it would take him years of ex-
perimenting to find out for himself. Having
gone through these years of experimenting
and failure myself I cannot with common de-
cency refuse to give now comers tho benefit
of it and thus hasten tho already rapid devel-
opment of our county.
The prospects were never so bright and now
that we have found in tho Japanese varieties
both peaches and plums that are perfectly at
homo here it will be but a fow years bofore
these fruits as well as pears and grapes will go
north and west for the early markets, not only
by tho car, but by tho train load.

CHARTER AMENDMENTa
Work Done by the Committee at Its Meet-
ing Last Night.
Last night at tho usual hour for the charter
amendment committee to meet thero wore
only two members present—Alderman Harris
and citizen Jackson. Thoso two waited until
nearly 8 o'clock, when Mr. Jackson left.
Alderoian Harris remained, and at 8 o'clock
Messrs. Goggan, Walker and Reymershoffer
put in an appearance, making a quorum, so a
meeting was held anyway. There was not
much done, however, owing to the latoness of
tho hour.
Section 132 was changed so as to make it the
duty of the city auditor to make to the city
council for its information and guidance a
full, accurate and correct statement and re-
port of the whole indebtedness of the city,
which shall be attested by the city clerk.
Alderman Harris moved tho following,
whioh was adopted: "Add to section. 132d so
as to provide that tho city council be author-
ized to use $200,000 of bonds provided for
permanent street improvements in section
132a for fresh wutor supply, or as much thereof
as maV be necessary, and in tho ovont of any
balance being loft said balance to revert back
for making of permanent street improve-
ments, and if tho whole $200,000 is usod for
water supply, then an additional $100,000 is
hereby authorized to bo issued to be used for
permanent street improvements."
Make section 170 conform to other pro-
visions of the charter.
Section 173 was stricken out entirely.

Willing to Give Information.
Hitchcok, Tex., Jan. 25.—To The News:
For fuar some of your readers may miscon-
struo my remarks to your reporter, in yester-
day's papor, please allow mo to say that thoy
were not intended by any means as a notice
to prospectors desiring information that I
was unwilling to give it. Of course occasion-
ally I get hold of a customer who wants to
know why 1 don't do some things his way and
undertakes to convince mo that his way is tho
beat, but what I meant by being so "bothered"
to answer questions that I had to mako them a
speech, so to say, was that often large parties
unacquainted with each other would come up
at the same time, and to avoid taking up too
much timo I would get them all together and
give them a talk and then let one questioning
do for all.

HOW THE SPEED OF THE ORUISEft
BAN0R0PT IS TO BE MEASURED.
The Ship Magdalene's Lone: Voyage—Dots
Along the Docks—Arrivals and De-
partures-Other Matters.
"In the coming trial of the new United
States practice cruiser Bancroft at Newport,
R. I.," says tho New Vork Times, "tho speed
of that vessel will bo officially determined by
means of a Weaver speed register. This regis-
ter is the invontion of Assistant Engineer
Weavor, recently of the United States navy,
and is dosigned for the purpose of measuring
both the timo consumed and tho numbor of
revolutions mado over a trial course.
'To obtain the required data thero is a band
of paper which passes over five marking pens
at a rate which can be varied botween tho
limits of and 2U inohes per second. On
this band is printed the. record of revolutions
made and time consumed. Two of tho pens
aro electrically connectod with tho port and
starboard shafts respectively, a third pen with
a chronometer and the two remaining pens
with the range keys. The latter mark simul-
taneously on the margin of the band.
'At each revolution of a shaft a mark is
printed, as is also one at the end of each sec-
ond by the chronometer pen. Upon entering
and leaving the range course the marginal
pens mako datum marks which determine the
limits botween which tho time and ro^lutions
are to bo measured. The data of the various
runs can by this instrument bo carefully
measured subsequent to the trials and tho
paper band then preserved as a record.
"It is a noteworthy feature of tho apparatus
that it will stand hard usage, aud in this re-
spect it differs from the ordinary chrono-
graphs. This apparatus was successfully used
on the occasion of the launch of the Texas to
determine the speed of that craft when pass-
ing down the ways."

The Magdalene's Long Voyage,
It lias boon reserved for tho Gorman ship
Magdaleno, says the New York Times of Jan-
uary 20, to give a modern imitation of a Fly-
ing Dutchman. She yestorday arrived from
Bromon aftor a voyage that occupied seventy-
five days, ono of the longost on record. Heavy
northwesterly gales and snow storms impeded
her progress during the latter part of the voy-
age. Snow storms added to her other difficul-
ties after tho banks were passed, and for sev-
eral days tho vessel was completely iced up.
Tho running rigging was so thickly incased in
ice as to make the handling of tho sails or
bracing around of tho yards impossible. The
ship was sixteon days making the run from
Montauk point to Firo islaud. Under ordi-
nary circumstances she should havo accom-
plished it within a day.
The vossol was four times in sight and was
four timos blown out to soa again by heavy
westerly gales. The crow wore beginning to
think that they would never reach port, whon
u favorablo slant of wind wafted them into
harbor.

AMUSEMENTS.
"La Belle Russe."
This romantic drama was the attraction at
tho Tremont last night, and was played to a
good houso. It gives more scope for his-
trionic ability and genuiuoly artistic work in
tho theatrical field thau any of tho othor
plays which Miss Lewis has been starring in
this season.
The impersonation of La Belle Russo by
Miss Lewis was a charactor to wonder at and
to avoid: brilliant, accomplished, queenly in
bearing and movement, consummate in de-
ception, fertile in imagination, and yot sus-
ceptible of tho utmost touderness, faithful-
ness and dty/otiou. Thero aro few requisites
for professional acting of tho higher type that
Miss Lowis does not possess.
A great orator was onco asked what ho con-
sidered tho first secret of impassionod utter-
ance, and his auswor was, "Action." To the
question as to what was the second, he re-
sponded, "Action." Herein lies tho great
secret of Miss Lewis' power. In the ability to
throw fooling and force into characterization,
to suit tone and gesture and facial expression
with a delicacy and exquisitenoss that any
ordinary mortal can not fail to be affected
thereby, Miss Lewis has, probably, none to
excel. The ease with which she can change
from ono mood to another is something
marvelous. She is nover atloctod, novor in-
different to tho minutest detail. She
possesses a magnificent physique, and in tho
portrayal of womanly dignity of demeanor
she reaches well nigh the acme of perfection.
Mr. Harry Mainhall in a sceno in the third
act fUirly divided tho honors with Miss Lowis.
In the interview in the third act Mr. Mainhall
reached the highwater mark of professional
acting.
The remaining characters in the cast need
no special mention, as their parts were too
common place to call into requisition stroug
power of conception and execution.
The Mind Reader.
Prof. P. Goshaui:, the mind reader, will be
the attraction at the Tremont to-night, giving
various examples of his powers of mind or
thought reading, such as telling the number
of a watch, etc. This afternoon at the opera
house at 4 o'clock he will give a free exhibi-
tion of his science. Two prominent gentlemen
will go to the postoftice, and oponing a lotter
box will place in it a blank envelope contain-
ing the address of a prominent citizen. They
will then go to some other part of the city and
hide the box key. The professor will then
start from the theater, find the key, go to tho
postotlico, got the envelope, and, without open-
ing it, will deliver it to its proper address,
besides giving a number of tests similar to
those made by the celebrated Bishop.
Richard Mansfield.
The sale of seats for the engagement of
Richard Mansfield will open at tho Tremont
at 9 o'clock sharp this morning.
Mr. Mansfield is one of thoso finished and
versatile actors who can do anything from
comedy to the highest tragedy and do it ex-
ceedingly well. Ho has won for himself a
name of which ho may well feel proud. This
is undoubtedly ono of tho most prominent
dramatic engagements ever known in tho the-
atrical history of this city. Tho plays which
ho will present hero are as follows: Monday
evening, "Beau Brummell;" Tuesday evening,
"A Parisian Romance."
THE REVISED STATUTES.
Doutsoh-l'exanischer Freundschaftsbund.
The annual ball of this club (German-
Texan Friendship society) took place last
night at Turnei hall and was in every senso
of the word a grand success, Tho hall was
very tastofully decorated, and about 250
couples occupied the floor. An excellent or-
chestra discoursed a very select programme,
accompanying tho merry dancors.
An elegant suppor was sorvod, and tho
Freundschafts Bund proved once moro that
they know how to ontertain thoir guests, who
consisted of tho best German society. Many
of the older Teutonic citizens wore present,
and Tumor hall presented a genuine deutsche
Gesellschaft.
This society has existed since 1810, and their
aim in former years was to advance German
immigration. To-day thoy only form a social
club, but never forgetting to give their annual
ball.
Oyster Openers' Protective Assembly.
Last night the Oystor openers' protective
assembly organized with forty-seven mem-
bers. Officers woro elected and a charter will
bo applied for at once.
It was decided to maintain the present rate
for opening ($125 per 1000 oysters), and to
meet horoafter on the first and third Thurs-
days of each month.
THE CHANNEL FLEET.
Notion That England May Send Her Chief
Defense to a Distant Show.
New York, Jan. 23.—The Times says: It
was learned last night in official naval circles
that England proposes, in tho evont of the
Prince of Wales visiting the Columbian fair,
Bonding her entire channel squadron to tho
Columbian naval roview. If this is done thero
will bo presont tho most powerful fleet assem-
bled to-day under one flag.
As the time for the review draws near the
attention of navy department officials is be-
ing turned in tho direction of Admiral Gher-
ardi's cable connections. The special squadron
commandod by Rear-Admiral Bancroft Gher-
ardi is timed to arrivo at Barbadoos on Feb-
uary 1, Tho squadron, consisting of tho
cruisers Baltimoro, San Francisco, Charleston
and Yorktown, left Montevideo on Jauuary
19. From Barbados the squadron will sail
direct for Hampton Roads, Va., and thero
await the arrival of various foreign squad-
rons.
It is learned that tho secretary of the navy
has been assured, so far, of the attendance of
fully twenty-five foroign warships. The num-
bor may- be incroased to include nine French
ironclads, soven Russian warships, six Ger-
man vossols, five Italian, four Spanish and
four Australian vessels, also ono Portugoso
ship and possibly ono Norwegian or Swedish
ship. Chile will send at least one ship and
perhaps two. The cruiser Esmeralda, it is
said, has been solected for tho duty. Brazil,
it is known, will sond one and there is a pros-
pect of the Argontmo republic sending a
representative vessol. Just what Groat Britain
will do no one but tho navy dopartment has
yet learned. It was rumored at ono timo that
a tlfcet of fifteen British ironclads would put
in an appearance, but this statomont has not
been confirmed.
United States naval officors havo boon in-
formed that France will, as a matter of
honor, ondoavor to equal in showing tho fleet
Groat Britain might sond out. Naval officers
who learned last night that England proposed
sending over the channel squadron,shook
their heads and expressed doubts of France
endeavoring to equal such a powerful force.
What San Antonio Whisky Will Do.
San Antonio ExproBB,
Anothor man parading tho streets of San
Antonio with his clothing turned inside out
and a very big jag on has been arrested by the
police. The man this timo hails from Austin,
ilo had his coat, vest, trousors and hat
turnod wroug side out. The right side of his
faco was painted a doop scariot and a rod
foathor was stuck in tho band of his hat.
Irrigation Congress.
Salt Lake, Utah, Jan 25.—At a meeting of
tho national exocutive committee of the irri-
gation congress here to-day it was voted to
hold the noxt con gross at Lob Angeles.

Yesterday's News contained an Austin dis-
patch stating that on the 25th instant in tho
houso tho bill to require tho secretary of stato
to copyright tho bill which embraces tho codi-
fication of tho statutos as printed by Clarko &
Courts and to be submitted to the legislature
came up on third reading. Tho idea that tho
advertisement by Clarke & Courts of copies of
the bill for salo was misleading and calcu-
lated to induce unsophisticated justices of tho
peaco and credulous lawyers to buy the book
on the expectation of getting the laws was the
ground for tho proposed action. It was con-
tended that Clarke & Courts woro charging
too high for tho book and that if this legisla-
ture failed to adopt the digest Clarko & Courts
might mako a great deal of money. Tho bill
then passed.
A Nkws reporter talkod with Mr. George
M. Courts, of the firm of Clarke & Courts,
about this matter, as follows:
"Mr. Courts, what is the nature of your
contract with the state of Texas regarding the
publication of the statutes, as set forth in the
above dispatch?"
"Five hundred copies, delivered in Austin,
for $,'1500."
"Shall you print any extra copies of this
work?"
"Yes; GOO or700."
"Did your contract call for the publication
of this book exclusively for the state?"
"No. We thought, howevor, that we could
not print any other than the 500 copies con-
tracted for by the state. Rocently, while in
Austin tho secretary of the state printing com-
mittee asked mo why wo did not print some
extra copies so that lawyers could have them.
On his suggestion wo concluded to do so, and
wo then sent out the following advertisement
which is, I presume, that which is referred to
in the dispatch from Austin as 'misleading
and calculated to induce unsophisticated jus-
tices of the peace and credulous lawyers to buy
the book:'
Revision and Digest of the Laws of Toxas (.see
chaptor 49, General Laws Twenty-secoud legisla-
ture) being printed by Clarke & Courts, Galves-
ton.—Dear Sir: Alter comploting our contract
for tho stato wo shall havo a limited number of

or express, prepaid, $5 50; bound full law sheep,
$6 !)0 por copy; or by mail or oxpross, prepaid,
$7, Delivery to bo mado aftor .January 25,18113.
Soliciting your orders, we are, Yours truly,
The Texas House,
Clarko & Courts, Stationers and Printers.
Galveston, January 5,1S93.
Remittance must accompany order.
This book is not for sale by tho stato.
"You will soo that the forty-ninth chaptor of
the goneral laws of tho Twenty-second legis-
lature is referred to, and wo also state that wo
shall havo for salo a limited number of tho
books after complying with our contract with
the Btato."
"What do you mean by 'complying with
your contract with the state?' "
"Making the delivery of the 500 copies of
the books in Austin."
"When shall you bo able to do this?"
"We hope to do so by Monday next."
"Is this book the complete revised statutes
as will be sold hereafter?"
"It is but a temporary publication of them.
The state probably will publish, or contract
for the publication of, an official edition of
this work. That may not bo done inside a
year, however."
"Havo you had any demand for this book?"
"Up to to-day we have had orders for thirty-
three copies only. If wo aro enabled to sell
the 600 or 700 volumes which we shall print,
we will just about come out whole on the en-
tiro transaction."
"Havo you had any request for copies of this
book from any of tho state legislators?"
"Yes. One in particular was from Repre-
sentative Fields, chairman of the house print-
ing committee. Mr. Fields stood right where
you now aro standing, and said that howantod
an advanco copy of the book. 1 told him that
ho could not have one, and that no person,
not even Governor Hogg, could havo a copy
of it until wo had complied with our contract
with the state."
"Havo any others insisted on having ad-
vance copies?"
"Yes. One gentleman sent us the money
and said that ho must havo either tho book or
his money back by Monday. We returned tho
money. Not one copy of tho book shall go
out of our houae until the 500 copies havo been
delivered to the state under our contract."
"Did you intend it to bo understood that on
tho state contract strictly you will loso
money?"
"Yes ; we bought $2000 worth of type for
this particular kind of work."
"Will tho state copyright tho book, do you
think?"
"Probably one of tho codifiersmay be desig-
nated to do that."
"What action will the senate take on this
matter?"
"I can not say, but I think none. 1 shall go
to Austin to-night."

SHE BECAME A NIHILIST.
A Story of Treachery and Capture With a
Tragic Ending.
New York, Jan. 23.—A Berlin cable says
the following story is related, which points
toward the revival of nihilism:
Tho St. Petersburg central committee of the
nihilists, it is said, ordored some threo months
ago one of their members, a young aristocrat
noted for his manly beauty and refinement of
manners, to
engage in an inthigue
with tho wife of Goneral Browdienko, a
shining light of tho political houso of tho czar,
whose duty it is to watch the international
league of nihilists and socialists.
Tho comrade did honor to tho confidence
which his friends had extended him and on
November 8 he eloped with tho general's wife
from St. Petersburg, the woman having first
provided herself with 15,000 roubles from her
husband's safe. They traveled through var-
ious parts of Europe, stopping finally at
Trieste; there they made a stop,of moro than
a week. But tho St. Poteraburg central com-
mittee would not allow thorn to rest and again
commandedstheui to proceed to Fiuino. They
had no sooner put up at the Hotel Royal of
that place when a cipher dispatch ordered
them to return at once to Kief. This was on
January 5. Tho nihilist,
though thinking it very strange
that his comrades recalled him so quickly and
demanded of him to put himself into immi-
nont danger of capture, followed the summons
and with the general's wife re-entered Russia.
They had no sootier crossed the frontier when
a number of police officers entered their car-
riage and informed them thoy wore prisoners
of the state. Arrived in Kieff they were at
once confronted by General Browdienke and
subjected to a rigid cross examining. The
gonoral's wife, upon seeing her husband, as-
sumed a defiant attitude, and A-ossing her
arms over her breast, stood up boldly and
said: "I am a nihilist and I will not reveal
ono singlo word of what I know." The gon-
eral tried his best to move her, but on receiv-
ing only defiant answers finally got so enraged
that ho drew his sword and plunged it into his
wife's heart, killing her instatly. The nihilist
was carried off to St. Petersburg, where he is
now imprisoned.
Is Dale NutallP
4
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 24.—In the superior
court here to-day a lady who has been known
as Mrs. Walter Dale, was givon a verdict in
her suit for divorce.
Tho case is a remarkable one and is of
especial iinportanco, as its effect is to declare
that W. R. Dale, a Baptist preacher, is, as it
is alleged,in reality J. H. 0. Nutall, a sporting
man, who deserted his wife and children in
North Carolina.
Nutall or Dale was once tried for bigamy
and convicted, but is now out on bail pending
a now trial. If Dale is not Nutall it is one of
the most remarkable cases of mistaken iden-
tity on rocord.
