A Mobile Ex-Cashier Shoots
*Witli a Pistol.
Mobile, Ala., May 18.—Lloyd Bowers,
late cashier of the First 'National bank,
shot himself this morning. The pistol
ball in his head cannot be found.
He is still alive, but unconscious, and
liable to die at any moment. It is ru-
mored that he is short financially. In-
vestigation proves this to be groundless.
He is worth $303,000. The cause is ab-
beration consequent upon ill health and
brain trouble. He did the deed before a
dresser mirror. The ball entered the
middle of the forehead and. he cannot
survive.
MARCHING TO THE MINES.
JUST ONE MINUTE PLEASE.
As summer is coming the question will arise
how to make ourselves comfortable. It is a
strange fact that Galveston people are just be-
ginning to learn how to do it. There are more
fine residences in Galveston, size considered,
than in any other city in the United States, and
less of these fine houses have awnings. There
is nothing so necessary to comfort as to have
your dining room, parlor, bedroom or office free
from sun, then again, from an economical stand-
point, awnings keep the sun from fading the
shades and carpet as they also protect ths finely
polished front doors from the sun, and keep
them from blistering or cracking, this saving
alone will pay for an awning. To meet the in-
creased demands for awnings I have selected
the finest lines of awning goods ever brought to
Texas, and I am prepared to fill orders for awn-
ings and lawn tents of every description at
prices as cheap as the cheanest, work and ma-
terial considered. A postal card will receive
prompt attention. Soliciting your order, I am,
yours very respectfully, GEO. E. ROBINSON,
Cor. Tremont and Ave. A. Galveston. Texas.

A Delightful Time With the Children at
St. John’s Church.
Children’s day was appropriately ob-
served at St. John’s M. E. church yes-
terday morning. There was a large
crowd in attendance and the program
was carried out in the most satisfactory
manner. The church was beautifully
decorated and the children marched in
with their bright eyes sparkling and faces
beaming with happiness. All entered
heartily into the general exercises and
the special features of the program were
presented in in the most delightful and
entertaining manner.
The basket offering was a beautiful ex-
ercise. The little girls marched in sing-
ing an appropriate song and carrying
baskets filled with|flowers, fruits, shells,
etc. As each child deposited her offer-
ing she recited a verse of scripture. The
following little girls took part in this ex-
ercise: Ulive Roberts, Janie Pollard,
Geneva Dibrell, Lulu Simpson, Mary
Wescott, Hattie Wescott, Alice Henry,
Rhoda Dunham, Eva Garnett, Annie
Beal, Laura Park, Grace Hutchings,
Ruby Cornell and Bertie Miller.
“Sowing and Reaping” was rendered
by Nettie Brown, Alice Clayton, May
Cowley, Lucy Park, Marion Clayton,
Mary Sandall, Julia Smith, Louisa Rob-
erts, Leonie Trube, Annie Park, Jennie
Roberts, Laura Park, Edwena Mitchell,
Mary Miller and Edna Smith.
. The flower exercise consisted of beau-
tiful floral offerings. When properly ar-
ranged on the green background they
formed the word “Love.” This exercise
was rendered by Eddie Blackwood, May
Nave, Janie Pollard, Cecil Hudson, Pearl
Garnett, Louise Temple, Olive Roberts,
Carrie Trube, Mattie Blackwood, Ella
Holmes, Jennie Dibrell, Mary Park,
Sadie Halsey, Viola Schwab, Hazel
Hutchings, Viola Walker.
One of the most entertaining features
of the program was the song, “Let the
Children Come,” sung by seven little
girls. The children were entirely con-
cealed from the audience. Only a group
of bright faces could be seen behind a
screen of pansies and the simple little
song delighted everybody. This was
sung by Olive Roberts, Viola Schwab,
Emma Beal, Pearl Garrett, Eddie Black-
wood, May Nave, Sadie Halsey.
The collection was for the benefit of
destitute Sunday schools. This was
taken up by Emma Beal, Sadie Halsey, '
Cecil Hudson, and the sum of $25 was 1
raised. 1

A Strange Man Cuts His Throat at the
City Hall.
Officers Charles O’Riley ond Tierney
brought to the police station about 2.30
p. m. yesterday a German named Karl
August Roth, a recent arrival from Wil-
low Point, Tex., who seemed to be la-
boring under great mental excitement.
After talking with him for a short while,
during which he appeared to calm down
considerably, he requested permission to
lie down and take a sleep. This request
was readily granted, and he was shown
into one of the temporary prison coops,
where he proceeded to make himself
comfortable, and was left undisturbed
by the officers.
In about half an hour Officer Henry
Thomas observed him running past the
office railing and down the back stairway
with a stream of blood flowing out of his
neck and another out of his left wrist.
The officer at once started in pursuit and
overtook his man at the alley separating
Mechanic street and Strand and brought
him back to the station, whence he was
conveyed to the Sealy hospital.
It was one of the strangest affairs on
record, as the man appeared to be per-
fectly rational and only seemed to be
overheated and suffering from excite-
ment. He asked for and obtained two
glasses of wTater from Clerk Gilbert and
spoke in his native tongue to Warrant
Officer Martin and others present, thus
dispelling any fears they might possibly
entertain of his mental condition.
The self-inflicted wounds are not nec-
essarily fatal and the man wfill probably
yet recover to regret his rash and foolish
act. ________
THE DENVER DELEGATION.
Evening Tribune went to press too
early to get the personnel of the Galves-
ton delegation to the trans-Mississippi
commercial congress and to the city of
Denver. The following party left over

TOM MONGHAN.
8.30 and the champions -will appear
promptly at 9.
Both men have undergone a thorough
training, appear in splendid! condition,
and each is confident of Iiis success.
Monghan, when seen this morning, felt
as happy as a lark in a clear sky, but ac-
knowledged that he had no child’s play
before him tonight. He goes in to win,
however, and will be the most disap-
pointed man in Galveston if he does not
do fo.
An Evening Tribune ^reporter saw
young Jack Burke at Hous'ton on Satur-
day alternoon and found! him in the very
same frame of mind. He has been thor-
oughly trained by one of the most com-
petent and scientific trai ners in the
south, and is therefore in. a condition
which can best be described! as bone and
muscle. He is now 22 years of age,
having been born in Chicago in 1869.
Jack, although a young fighter, has
traveled through the country and scored
a number of victories. He has many
admirers on the Pacific coast and always
makes friends wherever he goes.
The record of Tom Monghan, the Gal-
veston favorite, is an extensive one:
Draw with Dan Stewart, ex-champion >

Two Freight Trains Near Birmingham
Have a Rear-End Collision, in Which
Three Men are Killed—Oil Cars Ignite
and the Wreck Burns Up.
New York, May 18.—A special to the
Herald from^Aeapulco says: Ever since
her arrival here the Charleston’s crew
has been on the jump to get her ready
for sea again. Work of coaling, so dis-
tasteful to man-of-war’s men, has been
rushed along as if it was a pleasure.
Barge after barge came alongside, and
while the contractors’ men put much of
the coal aboard, the ship’s crew also
turned to with a will and helped to fill
bunkers. Tonight, with a sufficient coal
supply, to last ten days at high speed, the
Charleston will leave to continue the
chase of the Itata.
The Esmeralda still lies near the har-
bor entrance, but not yet coaled. Her
captain is apparently ignorant of the
Itata’s whereabouts.
Freight Train Wrecked.
Birmingham, Ala., May 18.—At Phe-
lans, Ala., fifty-two miles north of Bir-
mingham on the Louisville and Nash-
ville railroad, at 4 o’clock this morning,
the south bound freight ran into the rear
of another freight. Brakeman J. M.
Costello, formerly of New Orleans, was
killed and his body burned in the wreck.
Fireman Lester Brown was fatally
hurt and died soon afterward.
Engineer Edmunds is probably fatally
injured.
Three oil cars next to the engine took
fire and the wreck burned. Both dead
men are young and unmarried.
The cause of the accident was that the
second train approached the station too
fast where the first train was getting
water at the tank. It happened on a
steep grade. The loss is very heavy.
Later—Engineer D. Edmunds died at
10.30 o’clock this morning. This makes
three dead.
Eighteen cars loaded with merchan-
dise were burned.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Nichols Making a Vigorous Canvass—
Fulton Calm, ‘Suave and Confident—
The Pot Boiling Somewhat in the
Seventh Ward.
The political aspect is certainly one to
set the oldest inhabitant to guessing,
and that vigorously. It is fully realized
that, estimating by the history of the
past, its figures and results will be ex-
tremely hazardous. In 1887 the aggre-
gate vote for mayor was 5454. In 1889
this vote dropped to 4142. This falling
off was due, it is generally admitted, to
the fact that the election occurred at the
openipg of the semi-centennial celebra-
tion, when people were too busy to go to
the polls. It is now figured by those
who seem to know that the Australian
ballot will knock the vote down even
worse than the late lamented celebra-
tion. Bets are offered that the vote will
not reach that of 1889. If it does nott
then there will be surprises and sur-
prises. The 2d of June will prove a
regular Valentine day, and the ex-candi-
date who does not get a chromo will be
a regular curiosity. The ball, however,
will not be properly opened until after
tomorrow, when it will be known who
are the official candidates. As less than
one-half of those announced have so far
filed the proper documents with the city
clerk, there will have to be lots of hust-
ling done tomorrow or the list will be
short.
Blaine is Better.
New York, May 18.—Reports from
Secretary Blaine are of a most cheerful
character. He was able to leave his bed
this morning. The gout has not left him
yet and he suffers considerable pain. It
is expected that he will leave for Wash-
ington in a day or two.

Notice! Notice!
As we understand there is considerable
rumor throughout the city that our cus-
tomers feel uneasy about our stability
ana honest dealing, owing to the failure
of the Chicago Watch & Jewelry Co., we
beg leave to state that we do not think it
just to be censured with their failure, as
it is in no wise connected with our busi
ness. We feel an interest in our cus-
tomers, as we owe our success to their
liberal patronage in the past, and hope to
sustain our obligations to the letter. $20
suits for $1 and a chance to save $1 each
week is our motto. Your success is ours,
and our success shall not be at your ex-
pense but remunerative to you also.
Very respectfully,
Galveston Co-Operative Clothing Co.,
Jas. A. Lyon, Manager.
We have a first class delivery and ac-
commodating clerks. Green & Co. «

John Wegner, candidate for re-election
from the Eleventh ward, is not making
much fuss, but he is sawing wood just
the same. John has had some pretty
hard races, but he has won most of them
and is not at all dismayed.

W. H. Nichols is making an active
canvass for mayor and is undoubtedly
meeting with much encouragement. It
may be, as remarked by his competitor,
Capt. Fulton, when they met Saturday,
that William started so early and is trav-
eling so fast that he will “wind” himself
before the finish. It will not be Colonel
William’s fault if he does not land.
t t t
Captain Fulton is taking things easy.
That invincible smile is ever present with
him and he wears, besides that the air of
a man who is preparing fcr a short, vig-
orous and victorious dash. He does not
appear to feel that he has a walk-over,
though he is certainly very confident that
it will not be necessary to change the
name of mayor on city Hall stationery for
two years more.

The two conspicuous novices in politics
are W. F. Beers and Jake Weinberger,
candia.ites respectively from the Elev-
enth and Twelfth wa’rds. They find
themselves suddenly in politics without
hardly knowing" how or why, except that
both affirm thev did not want to do it,
but now that they a.re in the swim it is
for blood. They do not misjudge the
strength of tHfe gentlemen they are op-
posing, and frankly admit that if there
are any flies on Messenger Allen
they will do their level best to keC'tiiem
off'. x

It is whispered about that there is con-
siderable monkey business going on in
the Seventh ward. At least'it is said
there have been sundry conferences be-
tween parties claiming to represent Mr.
Harris and Mr. Heiman with a view to
getting Mr. Heiman off the track. If
this rumor is correct it means some-
thing. It is not believed that Mr. Hei-
man will withdraw at this stage of the •
game, especially as he has been endorsed
more or less by voters in that ward. But
there is no telling what may happen.

To-morrow is the last day in which
candidates can file their credentials with
the city clerk. Reference for information
on that point should be made to the fol-
lowing from the ordinance, which ftads :
Article 43fc). In order to have their
names printed on the ballots, candidates
must be nominated as follows : A candi-
date for a ward office must be nominated
by a written petition of five or more qual-
ified voters of the ward, whose names do
not appear to another nomination for the
same office. A candidate for the city at
large must be nominated by the written
petition of twenty or more qualified
voters of the city, whose names do not
appear to another nomination for the
same office. The nomination in either
case must be accepted in writing by the W
candidate, and presented to the city
not less than ten days before the election
The nomination shall set forth the office
for which it is made, and the places of
residence, with street and number, if
any, of the petitioners and candidate.
