The great bulk of the excursionists who
arrived here Saturday night and Sunday
on the big excursion have left for their
homes, but there are still hundreds of
strangers left who are taking in the sights
and attractions of the city at their leisure
and untrammelled by the crowds which
thronged everywhere Sunday and Monday.
The features of yesterday's programme
of entertainment were the harbor excur-
sions on the splendid Mallory steamer-
Nueces, so kindly tendered the citizens by
Messrs. Mallory & Co. for the purpose of
assisting in entertaining the visitors, and
the big oyster roast which was given at
Woollam's lake from 3 to 7 in the evening.
The rain which fell during Monday night
and the early morning hours yesterday
cooled the atmosphere, laid th£ dust and
added to the zest with which the visitors
devoted themselves to the enjoyment of
their trip.
The first excursion of the day by the
Nueces, with Captain Sam Risk in com-
mand, was an hour or more late In start-
ing on account of the rain and the threat-
ening condition of the weather during the
morning. Before the vessel started all the
conditions fixed by Messrs. Mallory & Co.
and all the observances required by the
United States inspection laws as to life
preservers, lifeboats, etc., were fully com-
plied with and then the big ship's lines
were cast off, and freighted with a cargo
of 780 visitors, most of whom had never
been afloat on the great sea before, she
steamed down the bay and out to the
extreme limit of the south jetty. The wind
was blowing stiffly and the sea was choppy
and rough. This caused some of the land-
lubbers to turn pale and look nervously
about for a good place to hold on to. The
Nueces had not got beyond the life saving
station before some of the passengers had
got Into a serious disagreement with their
stomachs and to settle the matter set
about a casting up of accounts. One old
lady, weighing in the neighborhood of 300
pounds, was the worst sufferer and she
sighed for home and terra firma with a
pathetic voice that woke a sympathetic
chord in every hearer's heart. She was
very sick and she kept sick until the Nueces
got back to her wharf, and even then she
had not recovered, but the sigh of rellei
that she breathed when she planted her
feet once more squarely on the solid wharf
called for a pleasant smile from all those
around.
The Nueces started on the second excur-
sion from the wharf shortly after 2 in
the afternoon with some 700 passengers,
who were treated to the same trip as
those on the first excursion, and many of
whom were afflicted as others had been.
She returned to her wharf a little after 5,
and every passenger aboard had a good
word for the ship, the captain and the
company, as well as for the Galveston peo-
ple who had so happily contributed to the
pleasure of their visit.
Besides the excursions on the Mallory liner
there were little excursions In sail boats
and launches by parties of visitors.
The streets were well filled all day, and
just before the departure or just after the
return of the excursion steamer Tremont
street was thronged. A large number of
ladles enjoyed the trip on the bay, and they
formed a most attractive procession of
beauty as they wended their way up town
again from the wharf.
THE OYSTER ROAST.
Probably the most novel and unique feat-
ure of the whole programme to many of
the visitors was the gigantic oyster roast
which was given for their benefit at Wool-
lam's lake from 3 to 7 In the evening. Few
of those from the interior had ever at-
tended one before, and they opened their
eyes with wonder as they beheld the pro-
cess of roasting bivalves by the ton, and
as the delicious odor from the succulent
oyster rose from the smoking heaps their
mouths watered and they made a bee-line
for the nearest point where they could cap*
ture a few. Provision had been made to
feed 1000, and there was abundance for that
number and more. Oysters were served in
any style the visitor could desire—he could
take them raw, stewed, fried, broiled,
skewered or roasted—and there were sauces,
etc., in profusion to flavor them. It was
a most appetizing feast, one of the biggest
and most enjoyable roasts ever given here.
The committee which had charge of the
affair and saw that everybody's appetite
was provided for, was a sort of impromptu
committee made up of rustlers who know
how to look after visitors and make them
enjoy themselves. The oyster roast com-
mittee as appointed and whose names were
several times published was conspicuous
for absenteeism, being very slimly repre-
sented during the afternoon. The rustlers,
however, more than filled their places, and
there was nothing to detract in any de-
gree from the perfect success of this feat-
ure of the programme.
The Primrose & West band, chaperoned by
Manager Ad. Gerber of the Tremont opera
house, was on hand after the matinee, and
discoursed some splendid music, which
added very materially to the pleasures of
the occasion.
The outgoing Katy Flyer last night car-
ried hundreds of excursionists homeward
bound. The train this morning will carry
more, and probably only those who came
prepared to enjoy the full limit of the
time allowed on their tickets will be left to-
day; but there are many of those, and the
city will feel their presence for the re-
mainder of the week.
The excursion has been a splendid suc-
cess, and General Passenger Agent W G
Crush Is responsible for it. and he has been
ably assisted by his co-officials in promot-
ing and handling it.
EXCURSION NOTES.
A number of the excursionists remain-
ing here this evening will receive invita-
tions to attend the Gartenverein enter-
tainment from members.
Not an accident happened in the surf
with all the vast crowd that was constant-
ly In the water. An enterprising under-
taker with an eye to business kept his
team hooked up ready to respond to a
call should some poor unfortunate get
drowned, but he got no job from that di-
rection.

AMUSEMENTS.
Monte Carlo.
The Primrqpe & West minstrel farce-com-
edy company with George Wilson as the
chief and only meritorious attraction out-
side of the band closed their Galveston en-
gagement with a matinee yesterday after-
noon and a performance at night. In
both instances the house was only
partially filled and Wilson suc-

ed enough to In a measure overlook the
shortcomings of the other members of the
combination.
The Circus Queen.
The next attraction is Mattie Vickers in
the Circus Queen on Thursday night, open-
ing with a matinee in the afternoon. The

a number of bright and catchy specialties.
Mattie Vickers is a lively little woman,
light of foot, and the possessor of much
versatility, making four rollicking char-
acterizations with equal ease and suc-
cess. Her support includes the young com-
edian, Eric Pollock, seen here last season
with "Dr. Bill." "Nip," the educated dog
pianist is also a feature.

from his honor, warning them that hence-
forth the ordinances regulating their busi-
ness would be enforced to the letter, and
he would request no further leniency for
any one violating the law.

and emphatic, closing with the warning
that the next offender arraigned on this
charge would be likely to catch the full
penalty provided by law. He then orderea
the charges dismissed and the men were

WEEKLY CROP REPORTS, i
THE WEATHEB VERY FAVOHABLE
FOB PI0KING OUT COTTON.
The Yield Per Acre Dependent Upon
the Condition of the Weather—Some
Hopes of a Top Crop.
United States Department of Agriculture,
weather bureau, weather crop bulletin of
the Texas weather service for the week
ending September 25, 1893:
Rainfall—The weather was dry and clear
until Monday, when heavy rains occurred
pretty generally over north Texas and the
northern portions of central and east
Texas. The rains In these portions during
Monday ranged from 1.00 to 4.00, being
heaviest In the northwestern portion of
the state, Over the coast district, south-
west Texas and the southern portions of
central and east Texas only light scattered
showers have fallen and these have not
been general by any means.
The ruins over the northern portions of
the state have generally exceeded the nor-
mal for this season of the year and have
reduced the deficiency in some localities
one to two Inches, while over southern
portions of the state the deficiency has
ranged from one and a half to two Inches.
Clearing weather is now Indicated for
northern Texas and showers to-day for
southern portions and these will probably
be followed by clearing weather Wednes-
day and not later than Thursday.
Temperature—The temperature during
the past seven days has ranged from nor-
mal to four and live degrees, daily, above.
The highest at the several stations has
ranged generally from 87 along the coast
to 98 In the Interior and the loweet has
ranged from 68 over the northwestern por-
tion of the state to 79 along the east coast.
Sunshine—The general absence of clouds
during the greater part of the week has
given an excess of sunshine in all parts of
the state except the coast district where
broken cumulus clouds have reduced the
amount to about the average.
CONDITIONS OF CROPS.
Cotton—The weather during the week
has been very favorable for cotton pick-
ing, which has progressed rapidly In all
parts of the state. The showery weather
now prevailing will check picking tempo-
rarily but will not affect It materially. The
top crop appears to be a failure In most
parts of the state as a result of the con-
tinued drouth, but as parts of the north-
western part of the state still offer hopes
of a top crop it Is probable that the rain
has been of some benefit in this direction.
The outlook altogether continues as at
last report with no change either for the
better or worse.
The amount of cotton which will be
picked per acre will depend to no small ex-
tent to the conditions of the weather from
now on as with favorable weather, the
crop will be pinked close, while unfavor-
able weather would prevent this. The nor-
mal rainfall for October and November Is
a little more than three Inches per month
for the cotton section of the state, and
it has only been below this amount in
four years out of the past thirteen, while
In four years It has vbeen about normal
and In the other live above normal. From
this It can be ssen that the chances for
dry weather during October and Novem-
ber are not overly favorable, but yet may
turn out so.
OTHER CROPS.
Corn gathering continues slowly.
The recent rains will materially improve
the grass ana furnish water for stock
over northwestern portions of the state.
The rains have been generally too late
for fall forage crops, which will be short.
Plowing for wheat and other crops will
be pushed In northwest portions of the
state.
CORRESPONDENTS' REMARKS.
[Note—The reports from the majority of
the correspondents were sent In before the
rains, which were telegraphed In Monday
evening. I. M. C.]
Palestine—M. Wright: The past week
has been dry and hot, but cotton picking
has been pushed; considerable cotton Is be-
ing marketed. The rain of to-day [Mon-
day] will benefit grass and gardens,
but was detrimental to cotton, beating it
out and making the fields muddy and re-
tarding picking. As a whole the rain was
badly needed and farmers glad to see It.
Temperature, maximum 96, minimum 62;
rainfall 1.31 on one day.
Aurora—H. B. Wayland: Last year was
an exceptional good season for saving cot-
ton, and both early and late cotton were
all picked. This year there Is not any
top crop and the farmers will get through
picking their cotton early on that account.
The yield of the cotton crop through this
section of the country is estimated at
about 60 per ot*nt of last year's crop. Rains
now would no* be , of any benefit except
for Btock water and putting the grounds
In condition for plowing. Temperature,
maximum 98, minimum 70; no rain; sun-
shine 98 per cent.
Round Rock—Thos. Wood: The weather
has been hot and dry, but favorable on
farmers for picking cotton and gathering
corn, and they have made good use of the
time. Cotton is about three-fourths
picked; corn Is loose on the cob, but the
yield will be enough for use and the farm-
ers will have some to sell. Everything is
dead that the sun and drouth can kill.
Water Is very scarce and stock Is suffering
for want of good drinking water and fresh
grass. Very little plowing has been done
on account of the ground being too dry
and hard in most localities. Some mast,
but nuts are small and falling orematurely.
Temperature, maximum 100, minimum 72;
rainfall .07 on one day.
Grapevine—W. J. Crowley: The continued
hot and dry weather and hot winds have
caused the timber, such as ash and oak
trees on uplands, to wilt and die. Water
very scarce. Black land has cracked open
worse than I have seen it for the past
thirty years. Cotton is dying and there Is
not any top crop in this section of the
state, and the farmers are nearly through
picking. Corn 30 per cent short of last
year's yield. Temperature, maximum 100,
minimum 66; no rain, Sunshine 96 per cent.
Forestburg—G. N. Morris: The top crop
of cotton is about ruined on account of the
continued dry and hot weather, and rain
would be injurious to the cotton crop un-
der the present conditions. The high winds
and hot weather have been Injurious to all
vegetation. The past week has afforded
good weather for gathering crops, and the
farmers have made good use of it during
the week, Temperature, maximum 102,
minimum 68; no rain.
Fredricksburg—A. Strlegler: The farm-
ers are about half-done picking cotton. The
drouth still continues and all vegetables
will be a failure this year. Temperature,
maximum 93, minimum 66; rainfall, a trace
on the 23d. Sunshine 80 per cent.
Corpus Christi—Geo. Reeder: The weath-
er continues dry. Cotton shinned from this
town almost dally and It appears to be a
good quality. Temperature, maximum 86,
minimum 76; rainfall .10 on one day. Sun-
shine 40 per cent.
El Paso—N. D. Lane: Weather favorable.
Rainfall .14 on three days.
Sulphur Springs-H. A. Evans: While
the southern portion of the country lias
had some rain, this section is sufferelng for
want of It. The pools and the Whlteoak—
the principal stream here—are about dry.
Only sixty bales of cotton were brought In
tast week, and they were stored here for
better prices. Fields are as dusty as a
street. Temperature, maximum 108, mini-
mum 64: no rain.
Stella—W. J. Kimball: Weather contin-
ues very dry and warm. Vegetation is
dying on account of there not being suf-
ficient moisture in the earth to afford life
to the plant. Temperature, maximum 84,
minimum 71; no rain.
Durham—Anthony Blum: Weather fav-
orable. Rainfall, -20 on the 21st.
Orange—J. H. Kelley: The weather has
been dry and dusty. The rain that fell
on the 19th was not very well distributed,
but was beneficial to grass and vegetables
In this section. The weather has been
favorable for harvesting rice and picking

RETURNED TO HOUSTON.
Robert Leo, the youthful telegraph oper-
ator, and his pretty little 16 year old bride,
who were arrested Monday evening at the

and taken to police headquarters to await
the arrival of a Houston officer, left yes-
terday morning for the Bayou city under
the escort of Officer Key and the bride's
stepfather, James Curtis. The chief turned
his private office over to the young couple
for the night, while the pursuing step-
father snoozed upon the soft side of one
of the benches In the recorder's court. The
bride declares she will not be taken from
her husband and the latter swears he'll
stick to her clean through.

My wife had been sick nine years

chltls, which ray doctor pronounced cq
sumption. I had spent all I had for mer
cine and doctors' bills, and both of us si
grew worse. As a last resort three yea
ago I bought an Electropoise, and have f
used a particle of medicine since. We hi
used nothing but the Electropoise, al
my wife and I are now both stouter and 1
better health than we ever were. We trr
all acute diseases with quick and pern
nent success ajid And that all chronic dl
