BAILEY'S RESOLUTION.
CAPTAIN 0E0S8 THINK3 A CANAL
NOT PRACTICABLE.
The Workwomen's Petition for a Nine-Hour
Day—A Skat Tournament—Musioal
Club Organized—Town Notes,
Correspondents' Headquarters — Capitol
hotel.

Houston, Tex., Oct. 24.—Following is the
full text of the resolution introduced yes-
terday by Alderman Bailey of the Fourth
ward on the much discussed subject of
cutting a canal from some point on San
Jacinto river so as to get a part of that
water here for the purpose of flushing
Buffalo bayou and purifying the water by
giving It more current and a fresher sup-
ply:
Whereas It is a matter of vital import-
ance that the city of Houston take some
immediate steps toward remedying the evil
resulting from draining the tilth of the
city and emptying water closets into Buf-
falo bayou, and to avoid such evil results
In future, and
Whereas by reason of the nearness of
the waters of San Jacinto river above
navigation to the waters of Buffalo and
White Oak bayous, and also by reason of
the fact that the waters of the San Jacinto
river are higher than those of Buffalo
bayou, and also by reason of the lightness
of the soil between the said waters, there-
by making it comparatively easy and with
not a very large expense to drain the
waters of the said San Jacinto river into
Buffalo or White Oak bayou with the re-
sult of carrying away the impurities
drained into the bayou, making It the best
and easiest solution of the problem which
the council must sooner or. later solve,
and which it behooves it to solve before
dire results may follow; therefore, be it
Resolved, by the city council of the city
of Houston, that a committee of live be
appointed by the city council, three to
be aldermen and two outside citizens, which
committee shall ascertain the cost of dig-
ging a canal or ditch of sufficient capacity
to accomplish the flushing and purification
of Buffalo bayou, and to obtain permission
from the legislature of the state of Texas
to construct said canal or ditch.
On the practicability of carrying this
through a News man spoke to Capt. A.
Cross, a well known civil engineer, and
briefly he stated that it would be a very
co3tly work, so much so that the result
would not justify the outlay of money.
He knew of course that it could be done,
but when done the water would be emptied
into a stream up which tide water reached
to this city, and he didn't see how a cur-
rent could be created under these condi-
tions. He had looked into the matter in
the past, but not lately, but he did know
where the best starting point on San Ja-
cinto river could be found. He thought,
though, that the higher up the better, but
through the highest point of land between
here and there the canal would have to be
cut very deep. He was not certain the
proper elevation at the starting point could
be found, but thought it could.
Below is given in full the petition sent in
yesterday to the city council from the
united brotherhood of carpenters and join-
ers and labor council No. 1, of the city of
Houston:
Houston, Tex., Oct. 23.—1To His Honor the
Mayor and the Board of Aldermen of the
City of Houston: It is universally known
that for several months the whole country
has been suffering from an unusual depres-
sion in commercial and industrial circles,
which has resulted in the closing of factor-
ies, workshops and mills, throwing many
people out of employment and increasing
the existing surplus of labor to an enor-
mous and alarming extent, thereby creating
a competition in labor that threatens to
reduce the already scanty wages to the
starvation limit, increase the number of
hours required for a day's labor, and give
employers almost unlimited opportunities
for oppressing the working people, who
constitute about four-ilfths of the popula-
tion of the country, and
Whereas, this is a government of the
people and for the people, we believe that
those who are forced to labor for a living
and who are the dependent class in every
instance, should be, as far as possible, pro-
tected by the government they support, of
which they contribute so large a part.
In view of the faet that your honorable
body has In contemplation the erection of a
high school building, we beg leave to peti-
tion the following: That an ordinance be
passed requiring that nine hours shall con-
stitute a day's work on all city work by
contract as well as by day, and that a
penalty be attached for the violation of
jtald ordinance. Very respectfully,
W. B. LEACH,
W. W. LOWE,
A. OSTERHEID,
Committee of Local Union No. 114 of the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners of America.
J. W. LEWIS, President,
W. B. LEACH, Secretary.
At a regular meeting of Houston labor
council No. 1, the above memorial to the
city council from the Carpenters' union
was unanimously indorsed.

SKAT TOURNAMENT.
Arrangements have been completed for
a skat (pronounced skart) tourna-
ment at Dumler's -hall in this city next
Saturday night. Already twenty names
have been entered In the tournament and
ethers are expected. To-day a letter was
received from Victoria saying that four
pi avers would come from there Prises
will be offered so as to increase the in-
terest.
Skat is a game of cards played a great
deal among the Germans, and Is regarded
by them as the most difficult and yet the
most fascinating of all games. Those who
Iplay It well hud rather do it than eat. The
game will begin at 8 o'clock and will bo
played until midnight.
FIXED FOR FRIDAY.
Deputy Sheriff Thompson who on Satur-
day shot Andrew Jordan, colored, three
Mines with a pistol at Chaneyville, will
have his preliminary hearing next Friday
ftfitcnoon bsfore Juatics Priester of ih»
Eighth precinct. Deputy Thompson came
in the next day and surrendered himself to
Deputy Sheriff Arch Anderson at the jail,
and gave bond in the sum of $500 for his
appearance. Andrew Jordan, the wounded
man, Is at the infirmary and is getting
along right well.
PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY.
Last Saturday evening there was a very
successful meeting of young ladies and gen-
tlemen at the hospitable home of Dr.
Rutherford, on Calhotfn avemie, for the
purpose of banding themselves together
into a musical body. It was formed for
the purpose of choral and orchestral work,
for the improvement and pleasure of the
members. It was a select party, and em-
braced much of the brightest musical talent
of the city. Mrs. Rutherford was the lead-
ing spirit in the project, and succeeded in
starting out with a membership of about
forty. A consensus of opinion favored call-
ing it the Philharmonic society, and that
may be put down as the name.
On motion a committee was appointed to
draw up a constitution and by-laws, to
report at the next meeting, which will be
held Monday evening at the same hour
and place. The committee consisted of
Mrs. Rutherford and Messrs. A. Diehl and
J. A. Tempest.
A committee on securing a hall was also
appointed and is expected to report at the
next meeting.
It is predicted that there is a bright fu-
ture ahead of the Philharmonics, under
the work of its energy and talent. A fortu-
nate feature is the variety of talent on the
roll.
Officers will be elected at the next meet-
ing, and permanent organization accom-
plished.
TWO SOCIALS.
This evening tjie home of Mr. und Mrs.
N. C. Munger, N6. 1212 Calhoun avenue, was
the scene of a really delightful entertain-
ment given by them to Miss Mair of Waco,
now visiting the family. Under the sug-
gestive name of Pot Pourrl were presented
a variety of features that could not have
been anything but delightful. The party
was composed of the most genial and
charming members of Houston society.
The refreshments served during the even-
ing were delicdous, and did much toward
promoting the general social pleasure. The
music was of a high order and furnished
by the musicians of the party.
To-morrow (Wednesday) evening there
will be an informal social event at the
home of Mr. J. K. P. Gillaspie, on Texas
avenue and LaBranch street. It will be
complimentary to Misses Randle and Ba-
ker, their guests from Dallas. Though in-
formal it promises to be a very pleasant
event.
PULLED HER OUT.
There was considerable excitement near
the water works reservoir yesterday after-
noon by the loud cries of some children for
help. A young man who hastened to re-
spond found that a woman had jumped Into
the bayou just below the water works dam,
and would have drowned but for his cour-
age in leaping into the water and pulling
her out. The water was fifteen feet deep,
and the expertness at swimming of the
rescuer enabled him to bring her to shore.
She was the wife of a well known mer-
chant on the north side of the bayou, and
every effort is being made to keep the mat-
ter from becoming public. The party who
saw the affair refused to give the name of
the lady. She is the mother of several
children.
CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT.
There was an unusually large crowd in
the criminal district courtroom this morn-
ing, and it was mostly composed of people
who had congregated for the purpose of
hearing testimony in the trial of William
Houston, colored, indicted for the killing
of Warren Collins and charged with mur-
der in the first degree. There were also a
number of men who had answered a special
venire summons.
The particulars are about as follows:
Houston owned or rented a small farm
near what is known as the Green Pond
neighborhood, nine miles east from here
Just beyond him Collins, the deceased,
operated another farm. It seems that Col-
lins made a habit of riding through Hous-
ton's farm as a matter of convenience, to
which Houston objected, but Collins per-
sisted. Finally Houston is said to have
told Collins that if he rode through his
field again he would kill him. Collins paid
little attention to the threat and on Satur-
day morning, July 9, he started through the
field as usual, but when midway Houston
is said to have fired on him. Collins fell
from his horse mortally wounded und was
brought to St. Joseph's infirmary in this
city, where he died on Sunday, the 10th.
Houston came to the city the day fol-
lowing and surrendered to Deputy Sheriff
Conoway, and has since been confined in
jail, the present grand jury indicting him
for murder in the first degree.
The testimony to-day rather justified the
killing on the grounds of threats and the
conduct of Collins. The witnesses were all
put under the rules. They were negro men
and women. The case occupied the whole
day, and the taking of testimony was con-
tinued till after dark this evening.
The attorneys will make their speeches
in the morning.
It required two venires of sixty men each
before the necessary twatye men were se-
cured, although the 4PTOnd venire was
only about half exhausted when the sev-
enth man of the second Series was ob-
tained.

THOMAS TURN STALL'S OPINION.
Says That Mr. Faulk's Idea That Populists
Are all Farmers Is Not Correct.
Crockett, Tex., Oct. 24.—The News corre-
spondent gave Mr. Thomas Turnstall, who
Is a prominent populist In this county, Hon.
J. J. Faulk's speech that was published in
The News of the 15th, and this morning
asked him what he thought of it.
Mr. Turnstall said: "Well, Mr. Faulk
prefaced his speech with considerable taffy
to the farmers, as if the people's party
were composed exclusively of farmers,
and that they were as credulous as school
boys, and all they needed was a little taffy
to cause them to switch off from the prin-
ciples they advocate. In this Mr. Faulk
Is mistaken. The populists have men
among them who are political students,
and who have made politics a study when
Mr. Faulk was in his political infancy,
and who studied it not for 'revenue only,'
but for the good of their country. He also
seems to forget that the faction of which
he was so prominent a leader stole three
planks last year from our platform, *and
when they were accused of It by# the Clark
faction and told that their plank on the
silver question was not in iharmony with
the national democratic platform one of
their most prominent leaders said: 'That
does not matter. It means to us 50,000
votes from the people's party.'
"No, sir; Mr. Faulk, though a nice talker,
is mistaken if he thinks that the people's
party is so easily gulled. We can see "his
motive, and make this suggestion: That if
Hogg, Reagan, Chilton and himself will
come up to confession like good Catholics
and acknowledge t/he theft of our planks
last year, then maybe we will let them vote
with us. But as to keeping them in power,
please excuse us, as we have plenty of
men who are true and tried without going
to a dying faction of another party."
STUMP ASH BY SPOKE.
Jacksonville, Tex., Oct. 24.—Stump Ashby
was with the populists here yesterday. He
spoke about two hours at the opera house
to a very good crowd. This is the first
time that he has been to this part of the
vineyard, but he gave them a very good
entertainment. His people went away well
satisfied and the other politicians did not
seem to be much annoyed. The general
verdict was: "Well, Stump is a pretty jolly
fellow." So nobody was mad, and it all
went well. He paid his respects to the
present congress and senate about killing
time when they had a chance to do some
thing. He said the big democratic speak-
ers would tell the poor people about the
tariff, and now they had laid that ques-
tion In the shade and hung up on silver.

FREIGHT MEN WORRIED.
THE RATE SITUATION 13 NOT
CHANGED MUCH.
The Eaty Meets the Ecck Island's Out.
Euinor That the Santa Fe Will
Explode a Shell.
Houston, Tex., Oci. 24.—The freight
problem continues to worry the freight
men, who are beginniiiL' to look wan and
weary. When one mentions the matter to
them now they smile in a sickly way and
look as if they had on a big disgust with
themselves and everybody else. Nothing
new has developed. The situation is the
same as it was yesterday, and the suspense
is telling on the railroad men, who are.
some people to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, human beings and just like other men
in the flesh.
This was the day for the meeting of the
Southwestern traffic assu Nation to convene
in New Orleans, but it eid not materialize,
and things are as badly mixed as ever. It
is understood that the freight men are at
last yearning to get ton<-ther and have a
sober, second think with < ach other to the
end that the problem may be solved, but
the selection of a place for the conference
is still the stumbling block. Some of the
lines want the meeting held in Chicago,
some want to go to St. Louis, and others
want to conclave in New Orleans. The
representatives of the Texas lines favor
the latter place. They fed, and not with-
out good reason, that it is an immaculate
piece of gall on the part of the south-
western and western lines to want them
to go off to St. Louis or Chicago to tell
the outside roads what they will do about
their own business here in Texas. They
argue that as the troubl* is here in Texas
and that they are more directly interested
in the results than the outside roads, the
latter ought to be willing to come to New
Orleans Instead of wanting them to travel
1000 or 2000 miles and go to St. Louis or
Chicago. The Texas lines say further, and
with every semblence of truth at their
back, that they are much busier at this
particular time than the representatives
of the outside roads, as the trouble is
located here, and that while it is almost
impossible for them to pull out for such a
long trip at this time, the other fellows
can, with comparative ease, coi>e to New
Orleans. They can not understand why
they, while holding the bag, should be ex-
pected to turn it loose and go to St. Louis
or Chicago to tell the outside roads what
they propose to do heiv in Texas. Thus
the matter stands. It is believed, how-
ever, that if the outside lines will bend
their stiff necks a little a meeting can be
had in New Orleans or at any other place
that is anything like a central point, by
or after the 1st of the month. Should this
meeting be held, it would speedily result
in peace and a restoration of rates.
The impression is that none of the roads
have any idea of meeting the Rock Island's
cuts. They know that it would be child's
play to do so, for the reason that such
cut-throat rates could not, under any cir-
cumstances, be maintained for but a short
time. Therefore, they have about made up
their minds to rock along until the meet-
ing materializes—a result which the Rock
island had in view when it commenced its
slashing.
It is safe to predict that there will be no
material change in the situation until the
meeting referred to takes place.
WHAT THE SANTA FE MAY DO.
Houston, Tex., Oct. 24—It is quietly
whispered in railroad pircles that the Santa
Fe may make up its mind to go on the
war path again and once more get its scal-
pel in motion on Galveston and Houston
business. It is said that something like a
boycott has been placed in motion here
against the Santa Fe, because of its recent
action relative to the Houston-Galveston
differential, and that certain parties have
merked that road for the slaughter. In
this connection it has been suggested that
such a boycott would prove a boomerang
to confound Its projectors, as the Santa Fe
still holds a trump which it has not yet
played. The trump card referred to Is the
fact that this road has not yet abolished
the differential of 8 cents per 100 pounds on
cotton to Houston, and that it may be
driven by the alleged boycott to wipe that
out also. Should this be done, It would
prove a serious thing for Houston. Still, it
is understood that the Santa Fe will do it
If driven to the wall.
A gentleman who Is friendly to both Gal-
veston and the Santa Fe to-day remarked:
"Why should the Southern Pacific officials
shrink their earnings i,ecause another line
equalizes rates between two of its terminals
that are equally distant from compiling
territories?"
The News reporter replied that this was
a "financial problem In railroading," and
not being a railroad man, begged to be ex-
cused from answering questions. It seems,
however, that the alleged boycott has failed
to reduce the Santa Fe's business, as It is
understood that Its earnings at the close
of this month will show an increase in-
stead of a decrease.
RATES FOR THE 1JIUDGE JUBILEE:
The railroad passenger men are just now
very busy figuring on excursion rates to be
given to Galveston on nccount of the cel-
ebration of the completion and opening
of the wagon bridge tor travel. The cele
bratlon begins on the loth of November
and will continue two or three duys. The
passenger men have about agreed upon a
rate of one cent a mile each way for the
round trip, but the matter of the maximum
rate to be charged and the limits of the
territory to which the reduced rates will
apply have not yet been fully decided upon.
It is probable that tickets from distant
points will be put on sale so as to give
time for holders of such to reach Galves-
ton on the morning trains of November 13.
and tickets from Houston will be sold
only for the morning trains to Galveston
on the 15th, 16th and 17th, the limit for
return on all tickets being up to and In-
cluding all trains leaving here on Novem-
ber 19. The whole matter will be definitely
settled to-day.
THE ROCK ISLAND CUT.
Dallas, Tex., Oct. 21—Mr. J. C. McCabe,
general freight agent of the Rock Island,
was In the city to-day. He said to a News
reporter:
"As predicted by The News, the Rock
Island's Intention Is ' 1 noiino r„i\
benefit of the low r.

rate, this will in no way prevent the Rock
Island from protecting any tariff they see
lit to publish to DaII.i • In fact, they have
determined to put K it Worth rates Into
Dallas at the earli. date practicable, be-
lieving that the necessities of the business
Interests of the two towns are identical.
We believe that the result of the Hock
Island's efforts In this direction will be
eventually to put Kit Worth and Dallas
on an equal rooting with the towns fur-
ther south whicn have hitherto enjoyec
more favorable rates from the north and
west."

by virtue of the authority vested in me by
the constitution and laws of the state,
hereby revoke my proclamation of April

MUST STILL BE LENIENT.
Austin, Tex., Oct. 24.—Treasurer Wortham
spoke to The News' representative to-day
about the condition of the treasury as
follows:
"Well, thus far we have paid all warrants
on presentation, and It now looks like we
will continue to do so; but to do this a con-
tinuance of leniency on the part of the
officials who can wait until along in De-
cember is expected. Under our system of
collections, with the present low tax rate
of 1£ cents on the $100 worth of property,
the fall months must necessarily find the
treasury running low. No officer need fear
he will not, within the next sixty days, get
every cent due him from the state, as in
that time receipts will largely exceed dis-
bursements. All creditors and laborers
have been, and I hope will continue to be,
promptly paid on presentation of their
warrants."
TREASURY DISBURSEMENTS.

ed to $2,324,088.08, being $230,432.57 less than
the amount disbursed last year out of the
revenue, being principally caused by the
amount of state debt taken up last year,
amounting to $243,000.

was $3,740,302.80.

Mr. A. Frank Byrd, whose picture we

of Temperanceville, Va, He Is a gentle-
man of standing and prominence in his lo-
cality, where he has lived for many yeaiv.
To view his strong and forcible face one
would hardly think he had ever experi-
enced any physical trouble, but It Is a fact
none the less that he has probably been
as near to death's door as any man who
is alive to-day.

It's a powerful invigorating

pr-
a. frank bybd.
It should not be supposed that his trou*
bles began at once. They were, as mosC
troubles are, of gradual growth. At first
his head began to pain him, he felt un-
usually tired and had peculiar pains
throughout his body and a general lack
of interest in life, especially for food.
These troubles continued and increased,
until finally he consulted some of the lead-
ing physicians in Baltimore. They made
a careful examination and found that he
was suffering from chronic Blight's dis-
ease, and that of the worst order. They
treated him with the most heroic medi-
cines, many of them containing opiates
and digitalis, but he grew no better. Re-
turning home with the expectation of
speedy death, he determined to make one
final effort. He did so, and although he
was so greatly reduced, noticed a change
for the better. This change continued, he
improved steadily, and is a well man to-
day, wholly through the use of Warner's
Safe Cure, the remedy that took him from
the lowest depths of suffering back to a
life of health and strength. In speaking
upon the subject he said:
"I am now the picture of health, weigh-
ing 196 pounds and leading an active bus-
iness life at 58 years of age. I keep a sup-
ply of Warner's Safe Cure on hand, and as
oil is used to lubricate rusty machinery
when long neglected, I find this valuable
lubricator has the same effect upon me. I
believe that it will help anyone who uses
it, and that in no case will It fail if the
sufferer continues to use it faithfully."
The above case, while a remarkable one,
is only one of many In which salvation
from the grave has been effected through
the use of this great modern remedy. There
are thousands of women who were once
weak, run down and suffering from
troubles such as only women can suffer
and who are to-day In perfect health and
enjoyment of the pleasures of life.

ELECTROPOISE.
(Trademark.)
Hawthorn, Fla.—Rev. M. H. Houston.
Nashville, Tenn.—Dear Brother: Yours of
June 20th received. 1 have had almost two
years' experience with the Electropoise.
and must say It far surpasses even skillful
medication; and 1 have treated more than
2CM cases of various diseases with marked
success. I have broken chills and fever of
several weeks' duration in from one night
to three nights. It is impossible to have
chills while using the poise properly. I
have treated more than fifteen cases of
fever, the majority being typhoid malarial,
curing them in from two hours to four
days. Diarrhoea, dysentery and cholera
morbus 1 have cured In from one hour to
eight generally. Rheumatism In from three
hours to three days, in one case making
the patient throw away his crutches and
straighten his deformed limb In four
hours, and one more day's treatment made
a permanent cure. It Is beyond doubt the
greatest remedy God has permitted us to
know. My confidence in the treatment is
unbounded; it cures promptly and perma-
nently.
By all means put the treatment Into
the hands of our missionaries for their
protection and influence, that like our
Savior they may go forth preaching and
healing the people. Yours fraternally.
