London, Dee. 30.—Commenting on
the London Times' statement from
Washington that persons of consider-
able importance in official circles there
profess to believe war between the
Uniitecl States and Germany inevita-
ble. the St. Janies Gazette, though it
does not believe such a disaster will
be allowed to occur over a dispute in
regard to the debts of Venezuela, to
Germany, says that if it does there
can be no doubt English sympathies
will be with America. At the same
time tire St. James Gazette expressed
the tope that the United States will
not allow such states ms Venezuela:
to gain the imprcissiion. they can reckon
on the protection of Monroeism if they
choose: to repudiate their obligations
in Europe.

Memphis, Tenn.. Dec. 30.—D.
Ray, a locomotive engineer, was shot
and killed early this morning on a
Yazoo and Mississippi Valley train
near Leland by four men, who subse-
quently forced the engineer in charge
of the cab to cut loose the engine and
take them to Cleveland. Ashley Cock,
A. M. Phipps, Blackman and Lauder-
dale are under arrest charged with
the murder.
Col. L. J. Polk, general manager of
the Santa Fe, is in Dallas today to
attend a meeting of the Texas district
of the western pass agreement for the
purpose of deciding upon what condi-
tions passes will be issued by the
various Texas roads during the com-
ing year. It is not thought that any
change will be made in existing con-
ditions and that those who were ex-
tended* passes this year will have the
same courtesies extended them by the
varicus railroads of Texas next year.
As far as the general office of the
Santa Fe here is aware there is no
foundation in the statement sent out
from Austin that the annual passes of
the members of th^ legislature for
1901 would not be reissued for the
coming year. The solons will likely
have annual passes in their pockets
just as long as they are members of
the legislature. The fact that 1902
is an. off year will have no effect upon
'the pass proposition as applied ;to the
Honorable members of the legislature.

Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 30.—AH out-
going trains from Montgomery were
annulled yesterday on account of
washouts. Last night, however, the
tracks of the Central of Georgia and
Plant system were repaired sufficient-
ly to admit of trains being run. On
the Louisville and Nashville a passen-
ger train from the south, due at Mont-
gomery yesterday morning, ran into a
washout near Bushy Creek. The en-
gine, postal and baggage cars dropped
off the track into the washout, but no-

Asheville, N. C.. Dec. 30.—A storm
during tlie past two. days has played
havoc with the train service. Traffic
from the west on the Southern rail-
way has been completely blocked

Murphy division. Trains on the Ashe-
ville and Spartanburg division are
water bound at Campobello, but pas-
sengers are coining through six hours
late.

There will lie a game of football
played in Galveston on New Year’s
day that should be a corker. It will
be between picked elevens of this city
and of Houston. A trainload of Hous-
tonians will come down from the
Bayou city to see the long haired men
of that town meet a- disastrous de-
feat—that is they wall if the Galveston
end has been talking facts instead of
spilling hot alir.
Those who have the game in charge
say that everything in their power
will be done to keep tlie crowd off the
field on the day the game is played.
Besides a, half inch hawser there will
be seven policemen, on the grounds
and every one of the substitutes will
have one grelat big club.
The Galveston team has been ma-
terially strengthened since that team
■was defeated by the Houston team in
the city at the headwaters of Buffalo
river on Christmas day. Oapt. Mav-
erick says he will claw the air with
the Houston aggregation and the only
question is how much will the Gal-
veston eleven “beat the Mud-cats.
The game will be caified at 4 o’clock
sharp—at least so it is said, but foot-
ball games are seldom prompt in being
called—and once started it will con-
tinue with whirlpool rapidity. The
following will be the line up for the
game:
Houston: Whalen, center; Proctor,
right guard; Carter, left guard; Camp-
bell, right tackle; White, left tackle;
Bryan, right end; Waties, left end;
Edkel, quarter back; Schultz, left half;

tackle; O'Brien, right end; McKee,

Disastrous Wreck on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railway.
Parkersburg, W. Va., Dec. 30.—Two
men are missing, one badly injured,
one engine and four cars ait the foot
of an embankment, two other cars
wrecked, and 100 feet of track are
torn up as the result of a collision
with a heavy rock of the western
bound freight train on the Baltimore
and Ohio at No. 30 tunnel .near Long
Run, at G.55 o’clock this morning. The
engine struck a rock which had rolled
down from a Ini'll just as the train
came out of the tunnel. Two missing
men are Fireman A. R. Hite and
Brakeman E. B. Putnam, both of
Grafton. They are probably dead be-
neath tlie wreck. Engineer Hop Goody
of Grafton is so seriously injured he
probably will Liat recover. The heavy
rains loosened the rock.

TorrentiaJ Rainfall Over .Five South-
eastern States.
Atlanta, Ga„ Dee. 30.—The torren-
tial rains of the past two days in
Georgia, Alabama and eastern Ten-
nessee r.nd portions of North Carolina
have caused the death of four per-
sons as far as known and inflicted
serious damage to all kinds' of prop-
erty. The rains have been followed by
clearing and much colder weather, ac-
companied by high winds.
J. C. Adams, founder of the Elgin
Watch company and one of the best
kniQwn watch men in the United
States, is in rhe city visiting his son,
E. Franklin Adams, chief clerk in the
general nasserger office of the Santa
Fe. Mr. Adafnis arrived at Alvin the
day before Christmas, but lie said this
morning that this was the first time
he had been able to get out of the
house since hiis arrival. He was not
detained inside on account of the
weather or his health, but by the three
little grandchildren who would not
let him out. Mr. Adams has now re-
tired from the watch business, his last
position being that of manager of the
watch department of Mermod & Jac-
card Jewelry company in St. Louis.
Miv Adams- says that the Elgin
Watch company, which he organized
in Chicago Sept. 14, 1864, ,s now man-
ufacturing 2400 watches per day, be-
ing the largest watch manufacturing
company in the world. He says the
demand for watches has increased
during the past year about 20 per cent
over that of last year and that the
companies are unable to keep up with
the demand. For the ordinary grade
of watches the orders must be placed
about eight months m advance and
for the more expensive watches an or-
der must be placed a year in advance
by the wholesale merchants.
Mr.. Adams was in charge of the
watch exhibit of Switzerland at the
world’s fair, it being the object of the
watchmakers in Switzerland to in-
crease their trade in the United States.
He says that the local demand for the
watches was very good, but as for
rcachiing tire trade of‘the United States
the venture was( a failure. American
watches can go :info the Switzerland
market and sell for less than the
Switzerland watches can be sold for
of the same grade. 'Tlijre is a grade
of -watches., however, manufactured, in
Switzerland finer than any manufac-
tured in this country, says Mr. Adams;
One of tlrese was presented to- him for
a present after his services as man-
ager of the exhibit at the world’s fair
had been finished,. He prizes this very
higlly and 'it is indeed a fine piece of
mechan’ism. It strikes the hours and
each quarter of an hour.
Mr. Adams; says that the demand for
watches is now chiefly for the smaller
variety, except in the case of railroad
men, who wish large heavy watches
which are not easily broken.

Tennessee River Is Expected to Get
Out of Ita -Banks.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Dec. 30.—An
average of three inches of rainfall
over the Tennessee river basin since
Saturday sent the water over 33 feet,
t'b.e danger line here, at 10 o’clock to-
day. The water is no w rising at the
rate of four inches an hour. The Ten-
nessee flood warning service an-
nounces the river wrill reach 38 feet
here by 10 o’clock tonight and will go
over 40 feet by tomorrow afternoon.

RETURN ENGAGEMENT.
The absolutely favorable impression

request Sheridan’s “School for Scandal,”

Goldthwaite Residence', Which Cost
Many Thousands in 1S57.
The Goldthwaite homestead at Tremont
and Sealy avenue was sold at public auc-
tion at 11 o’clock this morning.
eer W. N. Fritter conducted the sale and
the building was purchased for $509 by
John Focke, who contemplates moving it
to some vacant lots owned by him on
24th street, between M and N. Mr. Focke
also purchased the outhouses connected
with the homestead for $35. Fiv© bids
were received for the building,. and that
of Mr. Focke, being the highest, was ac-
cepted. As previously published the
building was sold by the board of direc-
tors of th© Rosenberg Library associa-
tion to make room for the Library build-
ing, which will be erected upon this site.
Th© plans for the Library will be ready
for the advertisement of bids in a short
time. A-large crowd! gathered to witness
the sale, among whom were many old
citizens, who- remembered when the build-
ing was constructed. It was bqilt by
George Ball in 1857, being afterwards sold
to P. J. Willis and then purchased by
Judge J. G. Goldthwaite, who paid Ar-
chitect Herry Devlin .$J9,Q90 for additions
and repairs to the building in 1871. An
examination of the structure this morn-
ing showed that thcrt hYs not a place in
the building where the lumber showed
any marked signs of decay. It was built
of cypress and PensSfiOla pine, which is
th© very finest grade- oflumber which
could--be secured. At the time the house
was built lumber was Celling in Galves-
ton for about $40 per thousand. It must,
therefore, have been very expensive. Now,
however, it is to be converted into two
houses and used for rental purposes.
Mr. Focke said that he would advertise
for bids to remove the hoHse at once and
the lots will then be ready for the hand-
some Library building, to the erection of
which Galvestonians have looked forward
for a long time.

Elected a Chairman and New Mem-
bers—Resolutions Adopted.
An important meeting of the Gal-
veston Deep 'Water committee wasi
held today looking to. the promotion of
the several port projects now penciling.
Mr. R. Waverley Smith was elected
chairman in place of the late George
Sealy, and Mr. Charles Fowler was
elected vice chairman. Messrs. John
Sealy, I. IT. Kompnetr and D. B. Hen-
derson wove installed as new mem-
ber si.
The following
adopted:
Be it resolved, by the Galveston
Deep Water committee, that in the
death of George Sealy we have lost a
leader of matchless ability, in whom
■were combined the qualities of wise
counsel, splendid performance, large
’influence and exalted character. Not
content with initiating great enter-
prises, he was quick to appreciate
and promote whatever of good was
proposed, and every public movement
of merit during the last quarter of a
century bore the impress of his em
couragement and generous support.
The welfare of Galveston and the
happiness of her people were his chief
concerns, and his dying effort wasra
labor of love for this community,
We recall with sorrow and1 with
quickened appreciation his words in
th.is committee just after the storm
of Sept. 8, 1900, when he expressed the
regret that he was not 20 years young-
er. But in the few months since he
taught us by sublime example the
duty of building for the future and of
striving to the last hour of ability.
We do not hope to fill with one per-
sonality the deep, wide void of his
death. In our history and in our
memory lie is a stature of its own
height, colossal in what it represents
and radiant with the light of a great
soul. But we will not falter in the
work he laid down. We Will strive to
do as we believe he would have us do.,
and with unshaken, faith in the wis-
dom and the final accomplishment of
his plans .and with renewed energies,
invoking the spirit of his endeavor, of
his patience and of his unselfishness,
we pledge ourselves and call upon the
community to join us in the tasks
which his taking off has placed upon
us.
Be it resolved, by the Galveston
Deep Water committee, that in the
death of James D. Skinner we have
lost a faithful and efficient co-laborer,
a pioneer rn the work for deep water
and its utilization, and always the
friend of material development.
Mode st in disposition and manner, he
was none the less earnest and all the
more valuable in the public work of
the community. "With large business
capacity and sterling personal char-
acter he was a steadfast force for
good, and with these qualities he was
distinguished far those moral and
Christian virtues which adorn the
greatest and uplift the humblest of
the sons of men. His death, coinci-
dent with that of our chieftain, im-
presses us with the uncertainty of
life and the beauty and wisdom of
preparedness for the final summons,
and moreover with the obligations
that rest upon those who remain to
carry forward the great undertakings
which enlisted his loyal effort.
