—The orders for crayon portraits are
in big demand at the Galveston Art Gal-
lery. *
—The Fort Worth Mail has some hope
for us. It says: “Galveston is likely to
get “deep water,” in spite of the Dallas
Herald, if this storm don’t let up.”
—From weather indications a rainy
season of several days duration may be
reasonably predicted. In its results on
growing crops, a general overflow of the
streams would be disastrous in the ex-
treme.
—By request of the managers of the
Histrionic entertainment, to be given at
the opera-house to-night, for the benefit
of the Catholic Orphans, it is understood
that the city council will dispense with a
night session.
—The fact is generally known that an
advertisement in Evening Tribune calls
for prompt and desired results. All
notices calculated for Galveston eyes,
seek positions in its columns. Reason-
able rates and correct service, it is grati-
fying to know, meet with proper recog-
nition and appreciation.
—Remember we are prepared to do
your printing and book binding as cheap
as the cheapest, and give you entire satis-
faction. A share of your patronage is
solicited.

—A little secret has just found its
way to the sanctum. It comes over the
wire, all the way from the Beach Hotel.
That famous hostelrie has a new boarder,
but you need’t look on the register for
his name. His name is not Dennis, but
if you care to know what it is, perhaps
Col. Tom Sweeney will tell you. He
(the secret) is an accomplished musician,
and will doubtless join the Beach band.
Recorder’s Court.
When His Honor ascended the tribune
this morning, his usual benignant coun
tenance wore a scrowl. Not that he is
bloody-minded, but our recorder believes
in preserving the unities, and this scrowl
was the mask he wore to match the out-
side weather. A beggarly docket of six
cases affected ’Bijah, even to tears. Yes,
six shots fired, and not a saddle empted:
Matt Coffey, abusing and insulting;
dismissed at request of complainant, from
which it is to be inferred the “course of
true love” again runs smooth.
Kelley Johnson, disorderly conduct;
dismissed.
Eugene Merrick and H. Kuntz, jr.,
disorderly conduct; continued to the
27th.
Geo. Willis and Claiborne Jack, viola-
ting sanitary regulations; dismissed.

LAST NIGHT’S SESSION.
Pursuant to adjournment the council
met again at 7:40 o’clock last evening to
continue the investigation into the elec-
tion returns from the Eleventh ward.
Present—Aldermen Schneider, Goldth-
waite, Sherwood, Rosenberg, McDonald,
Lee, Large and Smith.
Mr. Wm. R. Johnson sworn, testified
that he voted at the poll on Fifteenth
and K, for Cuney; does not remember
the number of the ballot voted, scratched
ticket. Mr. Mead voted at Fifteenth
and K, for Cuney for aldermen; is not
certain of the number of his ballot. Mr.
J. D. Skinner voted for Cuney; was not
positive of the rumber of his ballot;
thought it was between No. 850 and 360;
voted, the Citizens’ Ticket; scratched
only candidates for mayor. Mr. J. C.
League voted for Cunev; did not remem-
ber the number of his ballot; voted Citi-
zen’s Ticket; scratched only candidates
for mayor.
Mr. E. E. Steger voted in the Elev-
enth and for Cuney as alderman for the
Twelfth, was almost sure that the number
of his ballot was 243, voted an un-
scratched citizens ticket, with Cuney’s
name on it. Did not feel any more
interest in the election of Cuney than
that of the other candidates for aider-
man on the citizens ticket.
Col. Denson objected to the line of
Col. Shepard’s cross examination. Mr.
Finley stated that the questions were
only to test witness’ memory on the mat-
ter. Col. Denson objected of the ground
of motion adopted by this committee
this afternoon ruling against examining
witness regarding other wards than the
Eleventh.
Col. Shepard said the object of this
examination was not to gain time nor to
confuse witnesses, but to arrive at the
truth, and he earnestly contended for
the privilege of verifying witnesses mem-
ory of fact.
Mr. Goldthwaite called for the ruling
of the chair.
Mr. Finley seriously objected to being
met at every turn with the implied
charge of raising objections merely to
give time, and that after being invited,
as counsel, by the committee to partici-
pate in these proceedings.
Mr. Goldthwaite thought that counsel
was permitted and not invited.
Colonel Shepard strenuously stated
that counsel were present by right and
not by courtesy, and he would defy any
tribunal to deny the right of representa-
tion by counsel.
Mr. McDonald moved that this com-
mittee adopt such rule on the subject as
counsel may agree upon among them-
selves. Adopted.
Continuing the examination, Colonel
Shepard asked Mr. Steger if he remem-
bered who he voted for in the Fifth,
Seventh, Ninth, Second and First wards.
Mr. McNeal voted in the Eleventh
ward for Cuney. He lives on east side of
Seventeenth and south side of K; got his
ticket at the barber shop where he works;
voted scratched ticket. He was distinct
about his vote for Cuney; did not re-'
member the number of his ballot.
Albert Anderson voted in the Eleventh
ward, ballot No. 151; voted straight cit-
izen’s ticket, excepting it had the name
of Roemer instead of McDonald.
H. Goettinger voted in the Eleventh
ward for Cuney; ballot was either No.
307 or 308; voted straight citizens’ ticket;
had to scratch some candidates for
mayor; he was willing to bet all he had
that he could identify his ticket if he
should see it; he thought the Citizens’
Ticket the best in the market.
Mr. Trezevant voted in the Eleventh
ward for Cuney; was not sure of the
number of his ballot; voted Citizens’
Ticket, scratched three candidates for
mayor.
R. A. Milam voted in the Eleventh
ward for Cuney; ballot No. 212; voted
Citizens’ Ticket straight, but scratched
some names for mayor.
Wm. Walden voted at Wegner’s cor-
ner for Cuney; resided in that ward about
three years; can read and write; scratch-
ed one name for mayor; did not think
there was more than one name for each
ward; thought the ticket had Citizens’
Ticket printed on it; think McDonald’s
name was on the ticket for the Eleventh
ward; took no special interest in any
candidate; I made affidavit on the second
or third day after the election that I
voted for Cuney.
Col. Denson—Gentlemen, we have now
given you the evidence of thirty-one per-
sons that they voted for Cuney, the re-
turns credit him with twenty-one, we
think this is sufficient evidence to justify
you in going into the box.
Mr. Shepard wished to know if all the
signers of the affidavits had been sum-
moned?
Mr. Finley wished to introduce the
rule laid down by Chief Justice Roberts
that contestant must introduce sufficient
evidence to change the general result of
the election. Now if these thirty-one
witnesses voted for Cuney the general re-
sult would no*; be changed, as Mr. Allen
would still have 143 majority, and there-
fore this ballot-box could not be gone
into on the strength of the evidence ad-
duced. Why do we object to going into
the ballot-box? Because it is illegal, as
I stated in the beginning of this investi-
gation. There is not evidence enough
here to disturb the seals of that ballot-
box.
Colonel Denson had learned here more
law about the integrity of the ballot-box
than he had been able to find heretofore.
Why, if the secrecy of the ballot-box was
sacred, does not the law require that the
J. TI3ESRMT A.1XT, & BRO<
SOLE AGEMTS FOR STATE OF TEXAS.' :*
ballots be burned at the polls after being
counted, instead of being kept in a box,
if not to be investigated in such cases of
of fraud as this one? Before we get
through we will be able to prove to you
not only that Mr. Cuney was elected, but
will produce evidence to justify you in
throwing out that ballot-box entirely.
Judge Mann refenng to the rule of
Chief Justice Roberts quoted by oppos-
ing counsel, stated that he did not un-
derstand the rule as it was applied. We
are here to protect the integrity of the
voters, and not the integrity of a ballot-
box, and we have done all and more
than we can be asked to do before open-
ing the ballot-box.
Col. Shepard stated that the commit-
tee were now about to decide the most
important point in the investigation. He
thought the counsel had become so im-
pregnated with the idea of fraud that
they could see it in the air, in their plates
at dinner and in their dreams by night;
he wished this committee to divest them-
selves of this idea and sit as an impartial
tribunal in trying the rights of all con-
cerned. Why consume valuable time m
an idle ciarch through this ballot-box
before pio/ing sufficient fraud to change
the general result? If this committee
entertain a single one of those affidavits
you will do what no tribunal can of
right do, and I assert, without fear of suc-
cessful contradiction, no matter how many
lawyers may argue to the contrary, that
no tribunal will take the ex-parte affida-
vit of a witness without the opportunity
of cross-examination. The opposing
counsel are basing their case upon the as-
sumption that public opinion is so far
fixed in regard to fraud, and in the
minds of a majority of this committee,
that they can go into this box with less
evidence than they otherwise would do.
This committee will save no time by
opening the ballot-box first and examin-
ing witnesses afterwards. You brought
here all® the election officers of the ward
but one, and nothing in their evidence
shows any fraud, but I ask you not to
stamp these officers with fraud and per-
jury upon such uncertain and insufficent
evidence as adduced, and you will be
better able to judge of the reliability of
men’s evidence who can state before hand
what their ballots were, than of those
who first see the ballots exposed before
stating what their ballots were.
A very exciting, but dignified col-
loquy occured in the middle of Col.
Shephard’s speech between himself and
Judge Mann.
Adjourned until 10 o’clock this morn-
ing- ___
The city conncil, in committee of the
whole, met in the council chamber this
morning at 10:30 o’clock. Present—
Aldermen Menard, Rosenberg, Weis,
Goldthwaite, Lee, Smith, Large, Sher-
wood, Schneider and McDonald. Aider-
man Sherwood presiding:
Suggested by Judge Mann that this
meeting adjourn to the criminal court
room for the convenience and comfort of
all.
Moved by Mr. Weis that this meeting
adjourn to the criminal court room.
Adopted.
Mr. Lee offered the following resolu-
tion:
Whereas, there has been sufficient
evidence produced to convince me that
the returns made by the judges of the
Eleventh ward are incorrect, I therefore
submit the following resolution ; be it
Resolved," That the chairman appoint a
committee ;of three, of this committee,
to open the ballot-box of the said
Elevehth ward, and compare the returns
made by the judges of said ward election
with the copy supposed to be in said bal-
lot-box and to recount the ballots, and
that the said committee of three be in-
structed to call out only the names of the
aldermen voted for aldermen for the
Twelfth ward, and the number of the
same, and that one of the said committee
of three and the city clerk each keep a
correct count and tally-sheet of the same
to be used by us as a committee of the
whole in deciding this contest.
C. B. Lee, Alderman Sixth Ward.
Mr. Finley objected on the ground
that counsel for contestee had not had
any opportunity to introduce testimony
m rebuttal nor to attack the same.
Mr. Smith claimed the resolution was
out of order because of the rules adopted
as an order of proceeding.
Mr. Menard did not favor the resolu-
tion as a whole and offered as an amend-
ment that the box be opened in the pres-
ence of the committee of the whole and
the contestant and contestee, either by
counsel or otherwise.
Mr. McDonald objected to Mr. Men-
ard’s amendment on account of its effect
upon the mayoralty contest case.
Mr. Menard did not propose to mix up
the mayoralty contest with this case nor
that matters affecting the mayoralty con-
test should be examined, and the said
box should be released until the mayor-
alty contest comes up.
Mr. Large thought Mr. Menard was
usually very fair, but had overlooked the
evidence to be introduced for the con-
test.
Mr. Finley protested against this ac-
tion at this time and was interrupted by
Mr. Scknrider, who thought the com-
mittee had heard enough of this talk
and wanted the box opened, not to
make a final decision, but to see if there
was any fraud in the box.
Mr. Goldthwaite read from the city
charter, the rights of the city council to
determine the manner of deciding con-
tested elections.
Mr. Finley wanted time to bring wit-
nesses here to be heard in rebuttal, he
asked it as a right.
Mr. Menard did not wish to deny the
contestee the opportunity of introducing
evidence in rebuttal, but to give him
every opportunity if it took all the sum-
mer, but the question was whether it was
not now time to investigate the ballot-
box.
Dr. Large thought it unfair to open
the box before hearing the evidence in
rebuttal.
Mr. Weis thought the only difference
betweep the members was as to the mode
of procedure.
Mr. Smith was still in doubt as to
whether the committee yet had the right
to open the box. He did not desire to
impede matters, but he wished to be sure
that he was right before proceeding.
Col. Shepard asked permission to say a
few words if there was no objection. He
thought the committee should continue
far enough to prove that not only was
there fraud in the ballot box, but enough
fraud to defeat the contestee, but not to
open it before &prima facie case is made.
Mr. Goldthwaite again called attention
to the power conferred upon the city
council by the charter, and the action
already had by this council, and as the
committee of the couucil how could they
do otherwise than follow instructions?
Mr. Menard’s amendment to Mr. Lee’s
resolution adopted.
Mr. Lee’s resolution as amended
adopted.
The chairman appointed as a commit-
tee of three, provided for by the amend-
ed resolution, Aldermen Lee, Rosenberg
and Large.
Mr. Weis moved that this sub-commit-
tee retire, together with the contestant
and contestee, and open the ballot-box.
Adopted, and the sub-committed retired
to a jury-room with the city clerk and
ballot-box, followed by the committee
of the whole, contestant, contestee, coun-
sel for both and reporters, and opened
the ballot-box. Copy of poll-list made
and it was found that there were 415
names on the list, and consequently there
should be 415 ballots in the box.
Of the first fifty-six ballots taken out of
the box, fifty were for C. J. Allen and
four blank for alderman of the Twelfth
ward.

The bad weather of the past few days
has so delayed the work of building, that
our dancing hall and skating rink will
not be completed as early as was antici-
pated. Our grand opening of Lafitte’s
Grove will take place Sunday, May 3d,
when a free lunch and musical entertain-
ment will be given, to which the public

A BRIG SUNK.
Work of the Wind During1 the Morning
Hours.
The German brig Clementine, P. L.
Breymann master, from Rio Janerio, and
laden with 4200 bags of coffee, consigned
to Le Gierse & Co., of this city, was
washed ashore this morning about 1
o’clock and sunk. From what we can
learn she was lying in the outer roads,
and during the strong wind that pre-
vailed parted her anchorings and drifted
to within about 100 yards south of the
light-house, and sunk. The seas are now
washing over her decks and the cargo is
reported a total loss. The steam tug
Mamie Higgins went out early this morn-
ing and rescued the captain and crew.
