THE DAY IN HOUSTON.
The Walls of an Unfinished Build-
ing Fall With a Great
Crash.
WORKMEN ESCAPE INJURY.
A Wife's Complaint Against Her Husband-
City Electrician—A Prisoner With
Many Pawn Tickets.
Houston, Tex., Aug. 15.—There was a
loud crash this forenoon at the corner
of Texas avenue and Travis street, fol-
lowed by a rush of people from all direc-
tions to that point.
Knowing that a three-story "brick
building going up there was to the hands
of the work-men, most of those who
heard t'he sound feared that some of the
workmen had been hurt. This proved,
■however, to be not the case, but It was
found that three of the arches above
windows on the third floor had tumbled
down and a part of the remaining wall
was considerably cracked. It was
learned that the accident resulted from
alii owing the newly laid brick wall to 'be
too much exposed to the recent heavy
rains. The wall was only a short dis-
tance above the tops of the windows
and the pouring of the rain upon the
umdrled mortar between the bricks took
away the adhesive quality and caused
a good deal of damage to the wall, and
some of the workmen narrowly escaped
Injury. This will cause a good deal of
delay In the progress of the«work. The
bricks from the wall broke out glasses
In the windows of the Turkish bath
rooms of the Capitol hotel.
HAD SEVERAL PAWN TICKETS.
This afternoon Officer Sitone arrested a
negro named J. G. alias David Hill on the
charge of forgery. When seturched at the
police station these pawn tickets were
found on his person:
"Little Rock, May 28. No. 5439. First Na-
tional pawnbrokers' company. Mr. Hush,
holder."
"St. Louts, June 29. No. 51,193. Dunn's
loan house; St. Louis June 28, 1893, M.
Michael's, 904 Franklin avenue; St. Louis,
June 16, 1893, same as above; June 23, as
above, three quilts; Little Rock, September
10. St. Louis and Little Rock loan ottic'e,
holder D. G. Hill, one revolver; another,
same office, $11 on one lady's gold watch;
another, one revolver, $3.30.
There were found in hiis possession sev-
eral letters, not mailed nor stamped, ad-
dressed to parties in Memphis, Little Rock
and Cairo. They were written in a good
hand.
There was also a letter 'to D. G. Hill
dated Little Rock, August 10, 1894. It re-
lated mostly to girls. The prisoner lias a
silver watch marked "E. K. and a walk-
ing cane with the same letters on It. He
lilmps a little when he walks and is be-
lieved by the police to be wanted some-
where. He has recently been to Galveston
and talks of playing cards wltih great
success.
The forgery that he Is alleged to have
committed was the signing of the name of
Jessie Wallace to get a money order for
$10 that came here to Jessie Wallace, the
real Jessie being a colored woman. Ho
had the money several days when Jessie
applied for it and proved her Identity.
The prisoner now claims that he had
permission to sign Jessie's name.
RIO AID WORK DEILAYED.
The r&oent heavy ratins'have caused con-
siderable delay in t'he work of iplacing the
shell paving on the Harrisburg road 'below
the city, but if there should come within
Che next few days an end of the irain the
Job wilil be finished in due time by the
contractors, Hipp & Hengen. They have
just completed the macadamized way out
Washington road and it is an excellent
piece of work. It extends four miles In
that direction from the city limits and
the one on t'he Harrisburg road will ex-
tend in that direction four miles. On this
road the paving starts at the «elty limits
ar-J wf.'l extend almost to Harrisburg.
T1 city council at a recent meeting de-
clued to pave the Harrisburg road inside
the limits so as to connect the paving in
the (business portion of the city with that
done toy the county on Harrisburg road
outside the limits. That wiir make a con-
; ufiuous pavement about six miles in length
going' east or southeast from the city, to
which the pavement on Washington road!
an the opposite direction will add six miles
—or taking the Houston Heights boulevard,
eight miles—making a total of twelve or
fourteen miles of paved' road.
There 'has been some question in the
City council as to whether they would put
Uheir pavement on Prairie avenue or the
extension of Preston avenue.
A CITY ELECTRICIAN.
There is a report ouit that the city coun-
cil has agreed upon a man to hold the
very responsible position of city electri-
cian, but his name has not been made
public. The aldermen, it will be remem-
bered from debates in. the council, seemed
to 'have a keen appreciation of t'he im-
portance to the city of such an officer. It
now remains with ihem to see that the
ci'ty derives some good from the1 office by
having a man i.n it who knows Ills busi-
nesw practically and theoretically. He will
have to stand up for 'the rights of the
city against experts, and unless he is an
expert they will distance him. It would
be as good a thing as the electric com-
panies in the cl'ty would want to have a
green man pitted against them.
A WIIFIH BAIKLY TREATED.
This morning .Mrs. Stephen W. Fish ap-
peared at Justice Mahoney's court and
swore out a warrant against her husband
for aggravated assault and battery. Al-
though the alleged assault occurred last
Friday the woman was still suffering from
the effects of treatment received. IHer
shoulders and arms were one mass of
bruises and black and blue spots, and the
■left wrist was so swollen and inilamed
that it was absolutely of no service.
Deputy Constable Wynne was given the
papers and proceeded to serve them at
once. IFlsh was arrested shortly afterward
as he was leaving his house and taken be-
fore Justice Mahoney who set his hearing
tfur 10 o'clock to-morrow morning.
UNTO A INEW OFFICE.
The water works people have completed
and to-day moved into their pretty office
brick building on Fannin street next door
to the Protection engine house and in the
rear of the light guard armory. It is only
two stories high, but is as pretty as could
well be made, at is of red brick trimmed
with white stone and the trimming is lav-
ish, giving the structure a fine appearance
resulting from the tasteful distribution of
the white with the red. 'President Seanlon
eeems .proud of the company's new home.

A DOCTOR'S ESCAPE.
From a friend of Dr. W. C. Harris It l.i
learned that he had a fortunate escape
a couple of evenings ago. He was out be-
low Harrisburg on business, and return-
ing late in the evening, he had to jkiss
through or near a camp of Mexicans lo-
cated a short distance below Mllby's brick
yard. When very near the camp, several of
the Mexicans were advancing to attack
him, when two others discovered who it
was and prevented the attack. It seems
that the doctor 'had on a former occasion
treated these two professionally, and for
that he was saved. It is not known what
they intended to do, but robbery Is sus-
pected.

A SAN JACINTO VETERAN.
Nacogdoches, Tex., Aug. 14.—Uncle John
Raich, a San Jacinto veteran, who had
lived in the eastern part of this county
ever since the Texas revolution, was in
town Monday and took the train for Mann-
field, Tarrant county, where he will make
a protracted visit to some of his grand-
children. He is 82 years old and looks hale
and hearty and talks with a vim that
would Indicate some years of life ahead.
But he Is not able to move on foot, he-
cause of weakness in the legs. He is ac-
companied by his baby child, a daughter
of 18, who delights In the care and cus-
tody of her father. Two of his sons were
here to see them safely off. John Balch
was born in 1812, three miles south of
Greenville, Tenn. He landed at Matagorda,
Tex., April 28. 1835, and being a black-
smith by trade, he went out on Caney
and worked a year with a wealthy planter.
He joined a small company at Victoria
that went to Gonzales to join Houston's
army, but they found Santa Anna's army
there and had to retreat In haste. They
Joined Houston further on, and Balch was
the man that mounted the 'two small can-
non called "the Twin Sisters." He takes
delight in detailing and recounting all
these historical events and tells many In-
teresting things that history omits. He .is
a great admirer of Houston and Rusk and
also of Austin, with all of whom he served
and was well acquainted. He didn't like
General Sherman and had a small per-
sonal unpleasantness with him. Mr. Raich's
present home is in a hotbed of populism,
but he says he 'has always been a demo-
crat, and his first vote was for Andrew
Jackson, the hero of democracy. He says
that he will die a democrat and he wants
to sleep in a democratic grave in t'hls be-
loved old county beside the remains of his
wife, with whom he lived fifty-two years,
and who left him only one year ago.

KATY OFFICIALS HEBE.
A number of railway officials were In
Galvesiton yesterday. Among them were
Superintendent T. G. Gold. n of the Inter-
national and Great Northern; M, Sweeney,
superintendent of 'transportation of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas; J. W. Max-
well, superintendent of the K'aty lines in
Texas; Sam Maxwell, general baggage
agent of the Kitty; P. T. Downs, superin-
tendent of transportation of the Gulf, Col-
orado and Santa Fe; J. W. Allen, general
freight agent of the Katty, and F. E. Kin-
soy, superintendent of the Pullman pala.i«
car company.
These gentlemen accepted the invitation
of Lieutenant Lansing H. lteach to visit
the jetties and were taken out on the gov-
ernment tug Anna. The sight to majiy of
them was a revelation, and a mammoth
shark which was found making a bleak-
fast on a school of mullet near one of the
Jetties did his share in entertaining the
Visitors. The big man-eater seemed to
have no fear of the boat and the presence
of even a distinguished party of railroaders
did not Interfere with the monster's break-
fast. The little fish seemed iterror stricken
and made frarrtlc effortsf'to escape, but the
big fellow gobbled them up, verv much
after the manner that some liis railroads
have in times past gobbled up little ones.
After finishing ills meal tihe .shark took
himself off and his interested audience re-
turned to the city. Superintendent Golden
is responsible for this fish story.
After the party returned to Galveston a
News reporter asked Messrs. Maxwell,
Sweeney and Allen of the Katy what were
the present prospects of the Kaitv running
its passenger trains into Galveston. They
replied that beyond some Indefinite discus-
sion of that proposition which had been
had, nothing had been done and no arrange-
ments made with the International people
with the exception of a traffic arrangement
to handle Katy freight business between
Houston and Galveston.
Mr. J. K. Galbraith of the International
was asked the same question and replied
that the only arrangement 'his roiad had
was one to handle their Galveston freight
between this cilty and Houston,
All of the gentlemen in the party left
last night for home except Mr. Allen, who
remains over to-day.
LET ON THE LIGHT.
Hallway Times.
The disclosures of rebate ipaymemts by
the Atchison road may lead to proceedings
for violation of the Interstate commerce
law.
The interesting point about such an over-
hauling by tihe Interstate commerce com-
mission Is that it would be likely to in-
volve a good many more roads than the
Atohison, aind because of 'the extent of t'he
findings .It is considered hardly likely that
any decision could be reached 'by the com ■
mission, It It wanted all the facts, for a
year or more.
There Is a louder call than ever before
on the part of institutions for an Independ-
ent Investigation of railway accounts. One
of Atchison's competitors has quite re-
cently decided to hereafter ihave lits ac-
counts audited yearly by Chartered ac-
countants, Just as the New York, Ontario
■and Western 'has done. An official of ithe
company doing this says:
"It Is the popular thing and a correct
tiling, and we will not lie behind the times
In doing What the public wants. There
was a time when the public might have
looked upon a company with some sus-
picion lif it had undertaken such a thing,
but now the public rattier looks upon a
company with suspicion which does not do
this. Especially will this L>e the ease after
the revelations in Atchison affairs."
A director In a railway corporation «avs:
"The developments in Atchison will be a
good thing in one way. They will im-
press upon the minds of railway auditors
and managers the possibility of an ex-
pent overhauling of accounts at some fu-
ture day, and the importance of having
books in shape so as 'to obviate even the
charge of misrepresentation. It will do
one thing more, it will suggest to com-
mittees ithe Importance ot an expert ex-
amination. Take the Head rig, for instance.
Stephen Little ended 'hits analysis of Head-
ing accounts with the btaiement that lia-
bilities exceeded assets b> abouit $7,0UO,ix>0.
The bondholders, sooner or later, will pmb-
ably inquire into this Item. The North-
ern Pacific and Union Pacific will prob-
ably furnish equally fruitful fields.
'1A11 this ought to lead, in view of the
importance of railway securities as an in-
vestment to the adoption by railways of
a substantially uniform system of treat,
dng certain accounts so that the meaning
of an item should be clear. At present
no ordinary Investor can read a railway
balance sheet with any certainty of mak-
ing It out correctly. The interstate com-'
merce commission could very properly
adopt a form of railway bookkeeping so
admirable as to lead to gradua.1 adaption
of similar classification of items in oaipital
accounts by leading roads."
WILL IT BE D18IVi'EGKATED?
Willi Street News.
The bei'.lef is gaining ground among west-
ern railroad officials that as an ultimate
result of the present investigations and
disclosures in connection .vitih the Atchi-
son 'management this great syestem will
be disintegrated. In apeaking of the mat-
ter on Saturday a high official of a western
road said;
"During the high tide of its prosperity
the Atchison reached oat in overy direction
for new lines. It ibullt new roads and
bought old ones whenever a-nd wherever
it thought it would be the gainer. During
t'he Kansas boom the Atchison was oil
top. and it proceeded to 6uKd its Chicago
line, Which nas never paid. It also pule--.I
in the St. (Louis uuU iUa Francisco, the
Atlantic and Pacific, the Southern Cttll-
forn'a and Sonora. It also built a net-
v*ork of lines over t'he state of Kansas,
which are now de.ld timber on Its hands.
I lie only 'lines of the system that are now
'paying are those In eastern Kansas. Save
for a f,'w years during t*ie reign of Presi-
dent A. en Manvel the system has never
ibfeu We'll managed. Thai ir.OWMHO was
•paid as rebate# to freight diippers during
'Mr. Manvel's connection with the company
may be true to a certain extent, but this
was done to Increase the freight receipts
of ihe company, and could noi have af-
fected the earnings of th* road, no mat-
ter to what account :hey ivere charged.
If the em is divided up and put In
ojiarg" of separate receivers I think the
divisions will be about as follows; The
Atchison proper wl.il include th> lines and
branches of the road between l,a Junta
and Denver and Chicago; the Southwestern
system will Include St. Louis and San
rranolKo and Gulf .tivU'on from New-
ton, Kan., to Galveston, Tex.; tile Col-
orado Midland by Itself, and the Atlantic
"nil Pacific, 111 - Sotiora and the Southern
i -i ifurnla to be operated apart from the
present sesieni. I think the pr.-s.au "f-
llcia-s of Hi -ystem are doing everything
in their pott - to put the road on its
feet.
SALE PRAYED FOIL
Houston, Tex., Aug. 15.—In the case of
T. D. Cobbs vs. Houston Belt and Mag-
nolia I'ark railway company, Emlle Levy,
Herman Sas and George II, Hermann
have presented to the district court a
lengthy petition reciting that they ovy'n
sundry judgments against said company
and receivers, alleging that although op-
portunity and time have been given for
payment of same they have not been paid.
The plaintiffs represent that the net In-
come from the operation of the road is not
more than enough to pay current expenses
of the receivership, and there Is no reason-
able probability that it will Increase enough
to pay the Judgments and the only way
they can be paid is by a sale of the road.
They therefore pray that the master in
chancery report upon their interventions
and that the road and property be sold by
the court and the, proceeds be applied to
the payment of debts of the company.
In this connection it is known that there
are other similar claims against the com-
pany, whose holders will Join In the above
application for sale. Judge lira shear, It is
learned, will act on the application at the
October term of the court.
It is known that there are several parties
who would like to purchase the property,
as they have made application to the re-
ceiver looking to that accomplishment.
A similar application for the sale of
crounds known as Magnolia park, contain-
ing about 1300 acres, adjoining the city, has
been made by the Bering manufacturing
company, and will be heard at the same
time.

ties. This firm has just recently finished

PUEBLO TO TRINIDAD.
Denver, Col., Aug. 15.— It is announced
that Boston capitalists are to organize a

equal to 10 per cent on the Investment. The
Gulf now uses the Denver and Rio Grande
tracks between those points, paying a
rental of $180,000 a year. The new road,
if is said, can be 'built for $800,000.
