CONSTRUCTION NOTES.
The new Catholic building, corner of
Twentieth and Market streets, is ap-
proaching completion. It is a beauty.
Colonel A. M. Shannon says that
everything is in readiness for the rapid
prosecution of the government jetty
work and that the placing of the rock
will begin to-morrow.
The new building of Fox Bros., corner
Me 'hanic and Center streets, is rapidly
approaching completion. It will add
greatly to the appearance of that portion
of the city. Most of the rooms have al-
ready been leased.
The material is being gotten on the
ground for the construction of the new
custom house. Brick and iron are now
arriving. A large number of skilled
workmen are expected to arrive from
Chicago to morrow and the work will be
vigorously prosecuted.
Mr. J. W. Byrnes has returned from
Houston, where be has been engaged in
developing a water supply. He changed
one artesian well from a six to a fifteen-
inch pipe and sunk a new well, securing
a flow of nearly a million gallons per day
at a depth of 126 feet. He is getting his
material on the ground to-day and will
shortly begin sinking an artesian well for
the Cordage and Bagging factory. He
will leave for San Angelo in a day or two
to begin work on a railway roofing con-
tract.

AT THE TREMONT.
Despite counter attractions the opera |
house was c mfortably filled last night, |
Mr. Keene opening his engagement with
Richaid III. Every great actor excels in
some particular role. Virginius was Mc-
Cullough’s favorite role; Booth is at his
best as Hamlet, Barrett as Cassius, and
Mr. Keene as Richard III. It is not too
much to say that in his portrayal of the
character of the crafty Gloster he stands
without a rival. Mr. Keene comes to us
this season supported by an exceptionally
strong company. He is not one of the
dramatic stars that can only shine by
contrast with a poor support. Miss Pom-
eroy as Queen Elizabeth won fresh laur-
els. Mr. Learoach as Richmond, while
hardly the equal of Wheelock, Mr.
Keene’s leading man last season, is a
pleasing, painstaking actor, and created
a most favorable impression. Mr. Elliott
assumed the role of King Henry and ac -
quitted himself, as usual, in a manner
most satisfactory to the audience. Mr.
Elliott is quite a favorite in Galveston.
Shakespeare’s great love tragedy,Othello,
is being given for a matinee this after-
noon, Mr. Keene appearing as the crafty
Iago. Ju ius Caesar will be the bill to-
night, Mr. Keene appearing as the fiery
Marc Antony.
Friday night and Saturday matinee
Zozo, the Magic Queen, will reign at the
Tremont. Speaking of this attraction
the New York Graphic says: “Zozo,
the Magic Queen, was the attraction at
the Windsor theatre last night, with
Mounijoy Walker, Miss Winifred Sweet,
and Grace Hollingsworth as principals.
Numerous changes have been made in
the text and business of the play since
it was last acted in this city, and it has
in consequence been greatly improved.
Miss Hollingsworth is a bright little
actress, who sings admirably, and Miss
Sweet is a cultivated singer, with a very
pleasing stage presence. Mr. Walker
does some clever and amusing acting as
Washington Knowall, an American, who
is determined to plant the flag of his
country m the domain of the Magic
Queen. A score of pretty girls in rich
and modest costumes aided materially in
ihe success of the performance. The
scenery is gorgeous, the transformation
scene , being especially gorgeous. The
house was crowded to its utmost capacity
and the performance was greeted with
enthusiastic applause.”

The city sires met in regular confab
yesterday afternoon. After a number of
petitions had been appropriately referred
the city executive officers made their re-
ports as follows:
Report of J. W. Jockuseh, purchasing
agent, for the month of September. Re-
ferred to the finance committee.
City Engineer Wilson submitted a re-
port giving estimates of the cost of a
drain on Twenty-first street and the fill-
ing in of adjoining property. After
some discussion the report was received
and referred to the committee on budget.
Bids for lighting and cleaning the new
city hall were referred to the committee
on budget.
Bids for lighting and cleaning the new
city hall were referred to the committee
on public property, with power to act.
City Attorney Finlay made a report
upon the petition of citizens praying for
an election to determine whether the
city school tax of 20 cents on the $100
valuation should be continued. After
qu ting the law appertaining to the ques-
tion he said: “I am therefore of the
opinion that the city council have the
power to order the election, but that the
law does not make it mandatO'y upon
them to do so. It is a question of finance
which appeals to the legislative wisdom
of the city council, and they can lawfully
either grant or reject the prayer of the
petition.” The report was adopted and
the petition not granted.
The report of Wm. Oldenburg, chief
engineer of the fire department, for the
month of September was submitted and
referred to the fire committee.
City Attorney Finlay reported upon a
proposition of J. H Burnett and others
to compromise certain suits against the
city, amounting to $735.15, recommend-
ing that the proposition be accepted.
The cases pending against the city are
for the recovery of amounts paid the city
upon assessments for filling avenue M,
between Twenty first and Twenty-thirdl
streets, and Twenty second stieet, be-
tween avenues L and M. The assess-
ments are claimed to have been illegal
and were paid under protest to prevent
sales of the abutting lots.
The report was adopted.
COMMITTEE REPORTS.
The finance committee reported, sub-
mitting an estimate of the anticipated re-
quirements for the running expenses of
the city for the month of October of
$17,425, and asking an appropriation of
the same. Report received and appro-’
priatious made.
The police committee, on the petition
of Police Officer Ed. Richardson, asking
for an appropriation of $10 for a new
uniform coat, recommended that the pe
titi m be not granted, “because such
action would open the doors of the city
treasury vault, and every city employe
would demand payment for toss or dam-
age done to his wardrobe.” Report
adopted.
The committee on cemeteries reported,
submitting bids for a fence of brick and
wire around Lake View cemetery and
recommended the acceptance of the bid
of Thomas McHenry (Virginia Point
brick, to cost $1497.75). On motion
action was postponed until the next meet
ing of the council.
A proposition from the Galveston Wa-
ter company to lease the water works
plant until April, 1889, upon the same
terms as the last contract, the city to pay
for replacing pavements displaced by
taking up the mains after the expiration
of the contract, was accepted.
On motion of Aiderman McDonald,
Colonel Gresham, the Galveston member
of the deep water committee, was author-
ized to extend an invitation in the name
of the Galveston city council to the mem-
bers of the central deep water committee
to visit Galveston. The central deep
water committee is at present in Dallas,
and should they accept this invitation
steps will be taken to entertain them
handsomely.
The council then adjourned.

“Yes, that is a wonderful political
combination, that non partisan ticket,”
remarked a business man to the “ ?” this
morning. “And yet,” he continued, “it
is the only ticket that makes any pre-
tense of having any paternity.”
“ What is its paternity?”
“Nothing that anyone on the ticket
need be proud of. You remember a year
or so ago we had here an organization
known as the Knights of Labor. Well,
that organization was very strong and
under wise and conservative leadership
much good for the laboring classes
could have been done. This, the sequel
proved, the order lacked. The order did,
however, contain plenty of men who
were selfish and ambitious. These meq
undertook to convert the order into a po-
litical machine. As soon as this scheme
crystalized it was astonishing to see how
many followers it had—but it was notic-
able that this following numbered only
the vicious in the organization. The
conservative elements, the men who went
into the order with honest and conscien-
tious mi tives withdrew in large numbers.
Soon the machine found itself without
motive power —the politicians without a
following. In a short time the order was
little more than a reminiscence. Then
there was a stampede on the part of those
who could not hold this order for polit-
ical purposes to a new secret, and of
course non-political organization — the
Farmers’ Alliance. The first time these
political converts had a chance to show
their band was in the late prohibition
fight in this county—and they were pro-
hibitionists from ’way back. Of course
they got left but they must keep moving.
Now this element is attempting to do
with the Farmers’ Alliance just what
they attempted to do with the Knights
of Labor two years ago - only they have
gone this time to the ex reme of making
an alliance with the Republicans in the
county. N<>, it does not mean that th<*y
can carry the Republican strength, for no
decent Republican would vote for that
old political harlot, Marion Martin. The
masses of intelligent Republicans will
find out just what this ‘ Prohibition-
Republican-Non-Partisan ’ ticket means
and then they will let it alone. It’s a
vile compact and the man who can en-
dorse it to the extent of supporting it
against the straight Democratic state and
county ticket must have not only a
strong stomach but a peculiar political
conscience. No, the scheme will not win.
The men who fought prohibition last
year are ready to join hands with the
Democratic paity and fight it now and
wherever it shows its head. Well, yes,
I think the scheme is pretty well under-
stood. It is a Prohibition-Republican
ticket, and that is enough.”

“Yes, I am asked to vote for Wake-
lee,” remarked an intelligent voter to the
“?’’'today. “Why,” he continued,
“ because if we put him out he can get
nothing else to do. In the same breath
I am asked to not vote for Wren because
he has a good position; that aside from
this he has a competency that will always
secure a good liying for him. This is a
fair sample of the argument that Wake-
lee’s friends are using in his behalf.
They go to the extreme of making Wake-
lee an o’ ject of charity and the ward of
this community. This is the same kind
of taffy that his friends gave the public
two years ago — except in that canvass
they put it a little different from now.
Then they said he was a cripple with a
wife and nine children. Of course this
was absolutely false, but it had the de-
sired effect It is to the credit of Mr.
Wren’s friends that they do not resort to
such rot. It is to his credit that he is
making the race on his merits. To
thinking people this sympathy business
has no place in the canvass. The two
gentlemen are before the people for the
office of county clerk. They are well
known and every intelligent voter will
cast his ballot without prejudice or sym-
pathy. To such it will be: Who is the
best man for the position ? Mr. Wren has
filled the office with entire satisfaction.
Besides being the nominee of the Demo-
cratic party he is a good citizen, a man
of family and in my opinion will be
elected by a large majority The sym-
pathy racket and his position on the
non- partisan - prohibition - republican
ticket is enough to make Mr. Wakelee’s
friends tired — if they are not already.”
