THE NEW COURT HOUSE.
OVER CONTEM-

; , _
The commissioners’ court met
1 Tuesday to consider the. court
house question. The/first thing
that was done was a motion mado
, ^by Gleckler that the new building
—Moulton is to have a new pub-
lic well.
—Mrs. J. Br Middlebrooks has
returned from Houston.
—Otto v. Rosenberg’s son hrjtz

day night and was quite ill. .

Meyers and Deborah; nays, Paul us —The cigar factory isjyp assuT
and Weller. . As soon as. the re-
port of the court’s action spread
greet excitement prevailed among
the merchants and business men
in the square. They were indig-
nant, and immediately began a
^movement looking toward an ef-
fort to secure a reconsideration of
the court’s action. Even people
from the country expresed them-
ed *es as strongly opposed to buy-
ing a new site. The court visited
various portions ot the city with a
“dew te finding a suitable location.
Yesterday morning-when the court

court H. J. Breunig made a
strong and logical argument in fa-
vor of the present court bouse
aite, and was. followed in a force-
ful talk by Judge P. H. Green.
H. J. Heye and Dr. J. E. Lay also
spoke* The merchants proposed
to .the court that they would do-
nate to the county the free use of
' A block ‘of ground near the square
to be- used as a bitching place
and camp yard for country people,
so that toe smallness of toe square
could no longer be used against
ocation of the building on the
bite. Commissioner Deborah
then stated that when he voted to
move the site he thought a better
location could be secured, but that
: upon investigation he found it to
be a rather difficult task to find a
‘ able site at a reasonable figure,
that therefore he would move
,(fbe vote stood De-
borah and Weller yea; Gleckler
and Meyer not voting. After a
moment’s hesitation, however,
ffeyer and Gleckler* uoted yea,
aod the vote was made Unanimous.
The court then ordered that the
bqildmg be put on the old site if
tfeb citizens would donate a free
hitching ground. The court is
now engaged in looking over plans
made by Architect E. T. Heinei,
of Houston, whom they selected for
the purpose. Mr. Heiner will
make the plans to suit the court,
after which bids for construction
will be advertised for. V/

The Galveston News of Monday .gives
the following account of the death of
Arthur Meininger, son of ffm. Mein*
inger, who formerly resided in Hallets-
ville, havlug built the home now occu-
pied by I, Samusch’s family:
One of the saddest and most pitiful ac-
cidents happened yesterday evening
which terminated the young life of Ar-
thur Meininger, the 13 year old son of
Mr. and Mu, William Meininger, resid-
ing at 1722 tihurch street.
It occurred Immediately after the cere-
monies incident to the dedication of the
new bell of the Church of the Sacred
Heart on Broadway, The walls of the
sacred edifiq^were still echoeing to the
full toned service or a chorister as he
sang:
Rest, rest to the weary,
Peace, peace, to the sonl,
Though life may be dreary,
Earth ia not thy goal. *
Lay down the burden,
Oh, come unto me,
I will not forsake thee, 1
Though all else should flee.
In the sanctuary, the bishop fiad just
given the blessed benediction and the
many priests in their sacred robes turn-
ed to follow their superior, from the,
church. Outside the building the wind,
traveling at a velocity ot forty-eight
miles,an hour, howled and screamed as
it tore in angry gusts across the open
.ground on the side of the church and in
front of the cottage. The procession of
priests and; acolytes filed "out of the
church into the small room on the side
nearest the cottage. A small wooden
gate opened lor ingress and egress be-
tween the two buildings. The boys, re-
lieved at last from their dutta before
tho altar, moved with the impetuosity
of their youth toward the little wicket
for the purpose f>f disrobing in the cot-
tage rooms. Arthur Meininger was one
of the first td reach It. He opened it
hurriedly and prepared to step through.
Just then there came a. Aerce gust of
wind. It caught the gate as it swung
loose on its hinges and drove it with
terrible force against the altar boy as be
stepped through. It struck him fall on
the temple, and the purple robed figure
dropped to the ground as though pierced
by a bullet. The cries from the the
frightened boys behind them made the
piiests turn quickly, and in an instant
they were bv the side of the ‘motionless
form. Tenderly and to the accompani-
ment of that vibrating song of the chor-
ister—
“Real, rest for the Weary;
Peace, peace te the soul, ,
they carried the hoy into a room in the
college. As the young figure, still cloth-
ed in the sacred vestments, lay extended
upon the couch, the fair face white aod
rigid and the blue eyes set and immov-
able, it was difflcult to realize that but
a few moments before be was kneeling
before God's altar in all the purity of a
young soul, and In all the health of a
;yorung body.
Dr. Wilkinson was immediately cal-
led and upon examination recommended
that he be sent home. Dr. Randall was
called in, but at 9:30 Arthur Meininger,
the young altar boy, was before the
greater sanctuary.
