Houston, Tex.. Oct. 14.—The campaign
committee of the Hoy# party is in need of
funds, as will be evidenced by tho following
circular, which waB received by a well known
local candidate to-day:
Houston, Tox., Oct. in.—My Dear Sir: Money

cratic campaign, and 1 have been appointed to
asL for such uwHtanca from friends of the party
at they foal willing to rentier. A careful account

It is thought that all candidates have rc
cetved the circular, though it in not known
what action they will take. It, is understood
however, that any candidates favoring Clark
for governor, need not send money, as they
are not recognized.
Tile Cotton Exchange Response.
In response to an invitation the cotton ex
change, through its secretary Mr. Kidd, has
written the following to the Uorinau-Ameri
can association:
Houston Cotton Exchange and Board of
Trade, Houston, Tex., Oct. 12, 1892.—A
Moser, esq,, president, Alex Barttlingck, esq.,
secretary, German-American Citizens' asso-
ciation of Houston and Harris county—Dear
Sir: The invitation extended by the German
American Citizens' association of Houston
and Harris county to' the Houston cotton ex
change and board of trade to participate in
graud procession to be held October 21, 1892,
given in honor of the 400th anniversary of the
discovery of America, has had the attention so
eminently due to your association and the
cause of the celebration.
When your esteemed invitation was received
some of our directors were abroad, but at the
first meeting of the directors thereafter when
a majority was present the matter was fully
discussed, and all would have been glad to
participate under favorable auspices.
The secretary was instructed to say: The
cotton business is now fairly upon us, and
with this phenomenal business season every
man whether factor, buyer or employe, is
driven to extremity day and night, to say
nothing of the men with tho compresses,
whose whistles can bo heard every hour of tho
twenty-four, so that our exchange could not
make a display creditable to itself nor to your
esteemed association, not to speak of tho
honor due to the name of tho illustrious
Columbus, who discovered a new world for
the oppressed of all nations, "the land of the
free and tho home of the brave,"
Harris county gladly echoes this sentiment
where the German citizen, transported from
the vine-clad hills of the Hhine or the sunny
slopes of "Fatherland," aits under his own
vine and fig tree, and has mado her fields to
blossom as the rose, while at ove the tinkling
bells of hi# returning kine carry him back to
the olden home beyond the sea.
Again expressing our groat regret in not be'
ing able to participate in the grand proces-
sion, with sentiments oi regard and esteem
very truly yours. G. W. Kidd,
Secretary Houston Cotton Exchange and
Board of Trade.
Can You Keglgtor by Proxy?
In the registrar's office to-day the question
arose as to the legality of a good citizen regis
tering by proxy. Mr. Charles Wright is ab.
sent from the eity on business. He loft be-
fore the registration office was opened and
will not be able to return before the office
closes, but will be in Houston in time to rote
at the ensuing election. Mr. Wright, wrote to
parties in this city stating that circumstances
over which he had no control would keep him
from Houston until a date after the registra-
tion office had closed, and asked them to see
that he was not thereby disfranchised.
The matter was referred to several of tho
best lawyers in the city, and there is a di-
vergence of opinion as to the legality of Mr.
Wright securing a registration certificate with-
out personally applying for it, and there is
also a difference of opinion as to whether Mr.
Wright would, under the circumstances, be al-
lowed to vote without the certificate.
The matter has beon considerably discussed
to-day, and it involves a question of technical
construction of the law governing elections in
cities of 10,000 population. It will probably
be referred to Attornoy General Culberson.
While the intention of the lawmakers might
have been to require every voter to appear in
person to get his papers, the verbiage is not
clear on that point.
Captain Gray and His Sword.
There has been considerable talk about tho
sword that Colonel .John H. Gray, in the
character of Christopher Columbus, will
brandish on the da£ of the quadri-centennial
celobration. Some people have said it would
not be historic, others have even intimated
that it would be a fake sword, made of wood.
These people are away off, as the following
telegram will show:
"Madrid, Spam, Oct. 10.—To Christopher
John H. Gray: Am directed to notify you that
the original sword presented by Queen Isa-
bella to Columbus on his departure on his
voyage of discovery has boen shipped to you
for the Houston celebration."
Captain Gray informed The News corre-
spondent that the above was from the grand
keeper of swords of the realm, and that tho
weapon had arrived but would not be un-
sheathed until the day of the celebration, on
which occasion he would use it.
Mr. Lldstono's Mission.
This forenoon Mr. H. G. Lidstone, who has
been on a trip in tho interest of the state
meeting of county judges and commissioners
to be held here on the 21st instant, returned.
While away he visited about fifty comities on
the lines of the Houston and Texas Central,
the lexas and Pacific and the International
and Great Northern railroads. He met with
the warmest encouragement and found a
lively interest everywhere he wont. In fact,
he found more enthusiasm at several places
than is to be found with this people. He
found many places where they had already
Btarted the paving of county roads, and wlier-
ever ho found them he found a growing city
and prosperous people, HiB belief now is
that if these improvements are once started
they will never be stopped.
Waterworks Improvements.
One of the improvements now in
course of development in this city
is that being conducted by the water-
works company on their works. It is one in
which every man, woman and child is inter-
ested to an extent greater than realized. This
company will open bids next Monday for the
building of the new houses and groat smoke-
etaok on the bayou near the dam. The smoke-
stack will be something of a curiosity on ac-
count of its magnitude. It will be 18 feet at
the base with an altitude of 125 feet and a
Hue of 60 inches in diameter. The smoke-
stack will, when done, present rather an at-
tractive appearance, the gradual diminution
from base to top, the pretty exterior finish
and the ornamental crowning.
Game Protective Association,
The members of the association for the pro-
tection of game and the prosecution of dog
thieves are to have an important meeting
Tuesday evening to decide fully upon the
changes they will ask the legislature to make
in the game laws of the state. They will also
take steps looking to Bucurmg a charter tor

teudauce,
The Neiv Fire Company.

evory night next week in the Methodist taber-
nacle, corner of Polk and Caroline streets.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
Moro Now Shir!rack*.
Hempstead, Tex., Get. 14.—Foreman Glonn
of tho work train gang moved his outfit to
Hockley yesterday, and is now engaged in
putting down an additional sidetrack, which
will bo 2000 feet long. A "V"' will be put
down also to ennbio locomotives to turn. Mr.
F. B. Goodrich, civil engineer of the first
division of tiie Central, has staked out tho
work in n creditable manner, and it will bo
completed in a few days. Engineer Goodrich
has just passod his 21st birthday, and lload-
mastor McDonald of tho main lino is proud
of him and statos that tho young gentleman
displays engineering qualities of the highest
oider and (hat he is bound to advance in line
of promotion.
Although the railroad yard at this point has
probably the most extensive side tracks of
any on tho Central's linos, (hero is not. room
enough to handle all the increased business
of tho company. Many of the freight trains
trom the Austin branch will proceed from
this point to Hockloy and side track tiiore.
There are two or throe heavy grades betweon
here and Hockley, and from tho latter place,
about thirty-threo miios, tho road is nearly
level, which enables tho largest class moguls
to pull double trains into Houston. It i» no
uncommon sight for trains with 80 to 150
loaded ears starting out from Hockloy. Tins
arrangement economizes the cxpenso of loco-
motives and fuel, and also enables the com-
pany to push lorward cotton offcriug at all
Btations in a rapid manner.
Tho excellent telegraph service of the com-
pany, where the trainmaster Bitting in tho
superintendent's office in Houston directs tho
movements of all the trains botween Houston
and Hearne on the main line and Hompstoad
and Austin on tho western branch, enables
him with plenty of side track room to handle
with perfect safety thirty or forty trains day
and night. At presont there aro a great
number of extra trains in service, and tney
aro handled with tho accuracy of clockwork
by the efficient train dispatchers.
Tho additional sidotracks at this point and
Hockley, the former just completed, will bo
4000 feot and will be a groat convenience to
the company,

Hie Sap Investigation,
San Antonio, Tex., Oct. 14.—In the investi-
gation into the shortage in tho San Antonio
and Aransas Pass railway receivership ac-
counts, Cashier C. S. Wheeling testified to-
day. The two sums unaccounted for, $6500
and $8900 respectively, were received by ex-
Auditor A. G. Cooper, according to the testi-
mony. Wheeling said Cooper had a6ked him
to carry these sums under other receipts,
which would apparently cover them until J.
S. MacNamara was appointed solo receiver,
which Cooper naid was forthcoming; that
Judge King was only awaiting an opportunity
to remove B. F. Yoakum from the joint re-
ceivership, and that when MacXamaru was

port that tlio contract for armor plato made
by tho navy department with the Car-
negie company at Pittuburtf has been
annulled ih not oiactly true. Tlio sec-
retary of tho navy lias merely transferred
the order for eleven plates for the bolt armor
and tlio armor for tho turrets of tho Now
Yorli to tho Mothlehem works. While in this
case tho tranafor of the order is undoubtedly
duo to tho disability of the Carnegie company
to make tho plntcs on account of tho strike of
the wiwktnen, such a transfer is no unusual
occurrence.
Tho contract with the two manufactories aro
for about (KXK) tons of plato each. Schedules
for the various sizes and shapos aro furnished,
with price for each, and from time to time
orders aro jjiven for tlio kind and quantity
that is needed. At timcH, when an order is
tfivou to ono of the manufactories and it is
found inconvomont for that one to till it at
that time, tho order in transferred to tho other
manufactory, if it bo moro convenient for
that one to do tlio work.
Thus it happened that tho order for tho
armor for the Monterey was jfiven to tho
Hcthlohorn works and was afterward tratin-
ferrcd to the Carnegio works. The contract
with tho Carnogies is as substantial as it ever
was, but it is possible it will bo some time be-
fore any more work for the government is
done in that shop, at tin- authorities of *i"'
navv department will risk no further delays.
The provoking feature of the trouble in re-
yard to the armor for the New York seems to
be that the managers of tho Carnegie works
have promised constantly that tlio plates
would bo mado in yood time, when the tact is
that no plates were being made, and it is as-
serted that there has been no attempt to make
them since the strike, the foremen knowing
they have not a sullieient number of skilled
workmen in tho mills to warrant them in pro-
ceeding with such important work.
While the navy department recognizes the
usual reliability of the company in question,
the secretary is much provoked that there
could not have been a clear understanding in
regard to the situation some time ago, that
the transfer might have lie en mado and as lit-
tle delay as possible suffered.
