The Santa Fe Well.
As a great deal of speculation and ill-
iiuiry are being indulged in in referenco to
the ufo that is being made of tho Banta Fe
arteBian well water, the following state-
ment of Mr. W. H. lleilly, master mechanic
of the Gulf, Colorado and Banta Fe railway
will be found of interest:
We have not nscd the artesian well water
in our stationary boilers for the reason that
our engine and boilers are constructed up-
on such proportions as to require the ut-
most care and watchfulness to keep the en
pine running with the very best of water,
and even then the water to soma extent
patses out with the steam into the eugine's
cylinders. Had wo a boiler of tho same
horse power as our engine we could use the
artesian well wuter successfully. I have
nseditinour switch engines successfully
without the least deiriment to tho boilers,
or.d as a stationary boiler is not required
to generate steam near as fast as a locomo-
tive boiler, there is no reason why ttio well
water can not bo used without the least
trouble, if the boiler is tho same horse
power as the engine."
This testimony, coming as it does from an
expert Bource, would seem to settle the
question of the adaptability of the artesian
well water to use in stationary englues.
Mr. li. Adoue has already contracted for
the sinking of two artesian wells as soon as
the one at tho electric light station is com-
pleted, one of these to be located at the oil
mills, the other upon the site of the pro ject-
ed bagging and cordage factory.
Another veiy important use is being made
of the Banta Fo well water. Jt possesses
qualities very similar to Apolhnarls water
and,charged in fountains, is tinding quite a
sale at soda water stands throughout the
city. It is also said to possess peculiar
enrative properties in reference to various
skin diseases, and is pronounced by those
who use it a remarkable appetizer. Pro-
fessor Voelcker is now at work upon a
more thorough analysis of this water.
Dr. Haygood On Colored Education
Dr. Atticus G. Haygood, son and daugh-
ter, arrived in the city yesterday from
Houston, where the doctor spoke Saturday
night last, and haye rooms at the Beach.
Dr. Haygood is one of the most prominent
men of the M. E. Church south, and was,
until about live years ago, president of
Emory college, in Georgia. In 1882 he was
appointed agent of the "Blatet fund" for
the education of the negroes of the south.
This;fund is 4.1,000,000, set aside by John F.
Blater of Connecticut, for the purpose
named, the interest of which is annually
disbursed among deserving colored schools.
Last night Dr. Haygood addressed a
large audience of colored people at the
American Methodist Episcopal church
upon education. He said that although he
fought in the confederate army, yet when
the war was over he realized the fact
that it was over, and tte best course to be
pursued for the good of the south was the
amelioration of the colored people's con-
dition. He had always been interested In
education, and became especially Interest-
ed in the education of colored people. At
the close of the war he found there were
5,000,000 of colored people in the United
States, of whom almost none could read or
write. At this time there are 2,000,000 who
can read, and 1,000,000 now at school. Such
a result had never been equaled iu
all the history of the world in
the same lime. This was due to
the fact that more help had
been given them than to any
other people similarly situated. He esti-
mated that not less "than $50,000,000 have
been spent in such education. It is a com-
mon error to suppose that most of this
comes from the north. Three-fifths of it
has come from the southern states. He ad-
monished the colored people to show their
appreciation of the help given thorn and
thus deserve further aid.
The audience listened with evident inter-
est to the sensible advice of tho mau who
has proved himself an earnest, faithful
friend of their race.
To night Dr. Haygood will speak at Ball
square on prohibition. His son and daugh-
ter will add to the entertainment by their
siDging.

EASE-BALL BATTLES
Fcugfct Yesterday to the Finish—The Hous-
ton Heralds and Island Citys—Uavjs
and Gulf Citys—Other Notes.
I want to be a batter
And with the hatters stand,
My foot upon the home plate.
And a spring bat in my hand.
Yesterday was prolific of base-hall
games, and keen interest was manifested
by the public in attendance at each of the
games. The two principal games were
those played at the Gulf City park at
Woollam's lake and the Beaoh park. At
Cult City park the Uhrig's Cave Base ball
club and the Gulf City club played an ex-
citing game of eight innings, while at the
L'each the Houston Heralds and the Island
Cllj s crossed bats before quite a crowd.
AT GULF CITY PARK.
A little after 4 o'clock the Uhrig's Cave
club and the Gulf Citys appeared at Gulf
City paik daintily rigged up in their bright
uniforms. Simultaneously with their ap-
pearance the ladies upon the grand stand
began a regular storm of applause, and
many a red cap was doffed in deference to
the fair onlookers. Presently everything
wes in readiness. The umpire was placed
in position, the short stops were assigaed
their nuarterB, the "field catcher" was put
where he would do the most good, the
"coacher" filled himself with wind so as to
give himfelf free respiration, and by the
time the first batter came to the front the
ladies were waiting with breathless im-
patience for the frolic. After the first in-
ning things began to grow livoly. Both
clubs were in first-class condition, aud
both had determined to win the day,
consequently there was a good deal
of bard playing. The Caves soon gave evi-
dence of their knowledge of base-ball tac-
tics, and to even a oasual eye the victory
was a foregone conclusion before the g imo
was half, through. "Bky scrapers," "flies"
and "fouls" were made by both clubs, and
many a man inadvertently got out before
he was well aware of it by delicate little
"fouls." The ball came whizzing through
the air from the doughty pitcher and some-
times merely scraped the hat as the batter
wriggled like an eel to send the ball to per-
dition, when, presto! the catcher behind
had the ball in his grip, and the ominous
words, "foul and out!" resounded over
the field. But that was not tha
only way in which the men were
put out. There were ever so many
little intrigues brought into play, each side
occasionally stealing a march upon tha
oiber. Several were "cornered" now and
then, a contingency which will occur In the
best regulated base ball clubs. "Cornered"
is a technical term for the unenviable posi-
tion of a runner between two fires—that is,
if the runner left second base a little too
previously he found himself between tha
second and third basemen, each of whom
would press him pretty closely with the
ball until he was summarily put out. Bush
a thing was of frequent occurrence yester-
day, and it was quite amusing to the specta-
tors. Some of the men were stout and
heavy, and others were lank and lean,
and thus a symmetrical division was
made. What a sight to see one of
tho fat batters take his stand, and with
grim determination in his eagle eve, pre
tare to deal a death blow to tua bill.
Whizz! swish! whack! and away sailed
the ball up into the blue ether, and the field
man made a spring like a tiger to stop the
ball with his outstretched hands: but, sad
to relate, such balls were muffed more
times than caught. When a sky-scraper
was struck the striker of that ball would
double himself like a contortionist as a
preliminary movement, after which he cut
through the air like a fleet winged arrow.
"Hoop la! Come on! You can make it!
Hold up! Hold up! He's got the ball! Stay
where 5on are! Yon hear meV" Such were
the characteristic words uttered by that dls-
tlrgnithed individual, tho coacher. who,
wiin arms stretched out and eyes glowing
with excitement, would thus urge on his
men to victory. The Caves, however, bagan
to increase the number of their run3 with
alarming rapidity, and do what they could
the Gulf Citys found they could not hopafor
victory against such redoubtable foes.
While the innings of the Gulf Citys for che
most part were very brief, the mau
being put out with much dispatch,
the innings of the Caves were just the cou-
traiy, as they managed to hold their ground
almost every time until a goodly numbar of
runs bed been scored. Xn tho meantime
the fair ladies gazing at the valiant batters
were in a constant flutter of excitement.
They appeared to be greatly worried be-
cause one particular member of the Gulf
Citys found it extremely difficult to get
around the diamond without being put oat
by a wary baseman. "Oh, I do hope he'll
run all around this time," said a fair one
with a huge straw hat; "I think that man
is just too mean for anything to stop him so
much!"
The game came to a close about 7 o'clock,
after a two hours' hard tussle, resulting iu
a victory to the Caves, the score standing
as follows:
Innings- 12 3 4 5 6 7 8
Caves 5 8 1 2 7 6 0 10—33
Gulf Citys 1 1 2 3 3 1 0 0-11
The Caves were much elated over sach a
victory, while the Gulf Citys promise to do
better next time.
AT THE BEACH.
A large crowd witnessed the game be-
tween the Herald Base ball club of Hous-
ton and the Island City Base ball club of
Galveston. There were fully 1009 specta-
tors. The Island Citys were first to the
bat, in which they made seven runs. It
was plainly seen that they had an easy vic-
tory. From this on the game was onesided,
but notwithstanding the Island Citys did
not lose interest, and endeavored to score
every run in their power. The Heralds
came to bat in the first inning and scored
one run. The Island Citys in the second
inning scored nothing. The Heralds in
the second inning scored nothing, and
the same in the third, fourth and fifth.
The Island Citys in the third in-
ning scored four runs, of which E, Berk-
meyer made a hit over the left field
fence, bringing in two men who were on
bases, and scoring a home run for himself.
It was very evident that the home team
could hit Garnett with ease. From this on
he was hit all over the field, there being
three more home runs made, two by Ma-
zoni and one by Mackay. In the sixth In-
ning the Herald team scored three ruus,
and in the seventh nothing; eighth, two
runs; ninth, nothing.
The fourth inning of the Island Citys,
three run3; fifth, one run; sixth, four runs;
seventh, one run; eighth, seven runs;
ninth,four runs.
The Heralds will play the Galveston
Grays to-day, and tbe game promises to be
more interesting, as the Heralds have tele-
graphed for a new pitcher, who will arrive
in time for to day's game. The game will
be called at 4.30 p. m. sharp. Ladies ad-
mitted free of charge.
The total score stood: Island Citvs, 31;
Houston Heralds, 6. Mazoni and Scaao
battery for Island Citys; Short and Gar-
nett battery for Houston Heralds.
OTHER GAMES.
The Diamond Stars aud the Clippers
played a match game yesterday afternoon
which proved very exciting. The game was
sharp and brief, the score standing 10 to 4
in favor of tbe Stars. A large crowd wit-
nessed the game.
What promises to be a very interesting
game of baEe-ball will take place next
Thursday evening at the Beach park, be-
tween the Gaiveston Grays and a picked
nine from the Artillery Light Guards. The
game will be called about 5 o'clock in the
afternoon.
NOTES.
Mr. Geo. Walker received a telegram

with a view of establishing aline of vessels
between the two points. Propositions were
made to the planters for moving the next
crop, or all of it destined to Texas points,
at a probable rate of 45 cents per barrel
from sugar-house to Galveston, and a guar-
antee! given that the rate should in no
event exceed 50 cents per barrel. The ship-
pers were asked to sign an agreement by
which they promised to give the new line
their entire Texas shipments, and it is said
this agreement was signed by all the ship
pers txceDt such as were absent from their
homes.
It was then decided to send a committee
to New Orleans with instructions to confer
witn tbe Bonthern Pacific company, and, if
possible, socure a rate which would be sat-
isfactory to the planting interest; and in
the event of success they were authorized
to destroy the article providing for the new
line. We hear that the planters very gen-
erally expressed the hope that the railroad
would concede a rate which would make a
new line unnecessary, and that the commit-
tee were quite willing to give them a higher
rate than the one proposed by the new line.
There was, however, a strong feeling that
they, the planters, were fully justified iu
taking advantage of the competition which
water transportation always gives. The
movement does not seem to be a fight
against the Morgan company in any sense,
but merely a business adjustment in which
tbe lowest bidder gets the business.
The Morgan company declined to meet
the views of the committee, and it is now
understood that the new line is practically
started. We are told that a steamboat will
be put on aboutOctober 1 between this town
and St. Martinsville, making three or more
trips per week. She will carry only Gal-
veston freight, and will transfer her car-
goes to tbe mam line of vessels running to
Galveston or to storage sheds when such
vessels ate not in port.
Tbe point of transfer has not yet been
fixed. It may be Morgan City, or it may be
Berwick, or any convenient point on deep
water in the lower bayous. A very large
crop is looked for this year, and without
doubt the new line will do a great deal of
business. It would be well for Morgan
City to take steps to secure the selection of
this place for the transfer of its sugar aud
molasses.
St. Mary Herald: A delegation of mer-
chants from several large cities and the
planters of this parish held an informal
meeting at the St. Mary hotel last Wednes-
day for the purpose of getting cheaper
rates from the railroads to carry St. Mary
crops to the market or abandon that insti-
taiion altogether. Those of Galveston will
send vessels in here for that purpose aud
convey the sugar out by water if tha rail-
road officials don't let up with their "goug-
ing" propensities. We are indeed much
pleased with all opposition tending to bene-
fit our country.

WACO HEWS NOTES.
Crops Suffering for Bain and a Long Drouth
Threatened—Bevlval Meetings.'
Waco, Tex., Jnly 31.—The drouth in this
county Is becoming distressing. C )rn,
wheat aud other small grain was cut short
by it, aud did not make more than one-half
crop. Tbe cotton crop was the hope of the
farmer, but now the continued dry weather
has wrecked their hopes, in that while in
pome sections of the county the yield will
be fair, in the greater port'oa it will not
m8ke one-fifth of a crop.
Farmers south and southwest of the city
for nine miles are kept busy hauling water
from this city to furnish their families and
what work Btock they are necessarily com
pelled to keep on hand, the stock cattle
navirg nearly all been moved to water.
Unless it rains in the next two weeks the
outlook for this year is indeed gloomy.
Professor Black of Indiana, one of the
ablest divines of the Christian church, has
been holding a revival meeting in this city
for several weeks, In which great interest
is taken.
To night he delivered a sermon at the
W aco Female college. None of the churches
in the city held services, as all went to
listen to Professor Black.
The anti-prohibitionists here have made
arrangements for a grand torchlight pro-
cession on the night of August 3.
Taylor.
Taylor, Tex., July 31.—A premium of $00
was offered by the merchants of Taylor for
the first bale of new cotton marketed in
Taylor for 1887, which was brought in by
Mr. W. A. Arlege, who resides near
Bockiss, Williamson county. The cotton
was purchased by Messrs. Womack, Stur-
gis & Co. for 10 cents per pound.
Crops are needing rain very badly.

SUSIE BECK A VICTIM OF ARSENIC.
After Blasting the Reputation of a Beautiful
Girl Reverend West Poisons Her —
Officers in Pursuit.
St. Louis, July 31.—The discovery of ar-
senic in large quantities in the liver of Susie
Beck establishes, from a police standpoint,
conclusive evidence of her murder, and an
almost uninterrupted chain of circumstan-
tial evidence in their mind fixes the crime
on Kev. William Thomas Abbott West of
Chesterton, Ind.
Accordingly they Issued the following
circular to day, with the picture of the ao-
cused, which will be sent to every police
station in the United States and Canada:
"Arrest for murder Key. William Thomas
Abbott West, alias Thomas Abbott, 31
years of age, 5 feet 0 inohes high, with dark
auburn hair, dark brown eyes, lull, square
face and chin, clean shaven, stoops slightly
when walking, wears wine-colored specta-
cles and dresses like a clergyman. He se-
duced and poisoned Susie or Annie Beck iu
this city July 18. He is well known in
South Bend, Ind. He may look for work at
electro-plating, and is[handy at any kind of
work. He usually wore a black Prince
Albeit coat, but will likely discard that
garment for some other kind. He fled from
Chesterton on the 20th instant for parts un-
known. Wire me when arrested, and I will
serd an officer with requisition papers for
him.''
In all cities where West is known parties
of citizens are on the lookout for him.
At Chesterton the citizens have organ-
ized, and 1000 men are ready to search the
woods, believing that W est is now in hiding
in that part of the country.
Alter Dr. Luedeking had notified the
coroner of his discovery of the presence of
arsenic Chief Clerk John Kyan started the
police machinery in earnest.
He said: "We haven't got evidence
enough to hang the man, but we have a
mighty complete chain of evidence to work
on. 1 think the scoundrel seduced that girl
and then persuaded her to leave with him
ostensibly for the purpose of getting rid of
tbe consequences of his villainy, but iu re-
ality to kill her in order to be effectually
rid of her. You see, he had been the talk
of the town where he lived for weeks be-
fore he left, and knowing that he
had to do something to straighten It out, he
told the girl that he would take her away
and get rid of their intimacy. When he got
ready to give her poison he told her that it
was to produce abortion, and that she
would have to stand some pain, and she
must not tell what was the matcer with her.
I am satisfied there was a premature birth
befoie the girl died, and that West secreted
the child in the coffin after she was laid out."
Coroner Frazer will begin an inquest on
the body of Susie Beck on Wednesday.
