PELICAN ISLAND.
Governor Shaw arrived from Shaw’s
Point today and reports that a “light
breeze” visited Pelican island on Satur-
day and Sunday about the time the cy-
clone struck Galveston. Owing to the
many’high buildings and castles recently
erected on the island by the Bob Shaw
Improvement company the force of the
wind was greatly diminished, and it only
succeeded in removing the surface to a
depth of three feet. As this was sup-
planted by water to the same depth, no
material loss was suffered, and the fishes
now have so much more space in which
to disport themselves. The mosquitoes
all took fright and emigrated to the
mainland, where they intend to engage
in truck farming for the balance of the
season.
The governor reports that his island
was recently visited by T. A. Gary,
Charles Clifford, P. S. Wren, Henry
Toujous and an expert fisherman from
the country, but their catch is not given
for fear of raising a question of veracity
between the governor and these gentle-
men. One thing is certain, how-
ever, when these gentlemen again visit
Shaw’s point they will have to take
along their own refreshments or send a
schooner load ahead.

The Second Veto.
Mayor’s Office, City of Galveston,
Galveston, Texas, July 8th, 1891.—To
the Honorable City Council of the City
of Galveston—Gentlemen: The resolu-
tion passed by your honorable body at
regular meeting July 6th, 1891, authoriz-
ing the sale of the old fire department
horses and the purchase of new ones, is
hereby returned disapproved for the
reasons that no estimate <4 the probable
cost accompanies the resolution, and the
expenditure is in no manner limited or
defined.
There is set aside in the budget for the
current year, for the purchase of new
horses for the fire department, one thou-
sand dollars. This account must not be
exceeded. I am not unwilling to ap-
prove a resolution appropriation one
thousand dollars, or so much thereof as
may be necessary, for the purchase of
new horses. Respectfully,
R. L, Fulton,
Mayor.

Mayor’s Office, City of Galveston,
Galveston, Texas, July 7.—To the Hon-
orable City Council of the City of Gal-
veston — Gentlemen : The resolution
passed by your honorable body at the
last regular meeting, July 6, to wit: “Be
it resolved that the committee bn public
property be and is hereby instructed to
advertise for bids for the building of a
new engine house for No. 5, as provided
in the budget,” is hereby returned dis-
approved, for the following reasons:
By the terms of section 174 of the
amended charter it is provided that
“there shall be and is hereby created in
and for the city a board called the com-
missioners of public works, to consist of
five members, one of whom shall be the
city engineer, and four freeholders and
qualified voters to be appointed by the
mayor and confirmed by the city council.
This board shall have charge of the exe-
cution of all public works of a permanent
nature, such as filling, grading, paving,
repairing or otherwise improving auy
street, alley, avenue or sidewalk, the
abating of any nuisance, the providing
for or building sewers or a system of
sewerage, the erection of public build-
ings, etc.
“The city council shall, however, be
fore any such public work is undertaken
by the commissioners, designate the
same and the extent thereof by a proper
resolution, and for a better understand-
ing of the work to be undertaken, shall
require of said board of commissioners
an approximate estimate thereof. After
the city council has duly adopted by res-
olution what work or improvement shall
be undertaken, and has stipulated its
extent, it shall be the duty of the com-
missioners to advertise for the work ac-
cording to the plans and specifications to
be made and adopted by them, and shall
let the work by contract, except where
the city council may, upon recommenda-
tion from said board, authorize the work
to be done by days’ work, and all con-
tracts shall be subject to approval by the
city council and shall be signed by the
mayor and countersigned by the city
clerk before the same shall take effect.”
These provisions of the charter are ex-
plicit in their requirements and admit of
no doubtful construction. They must be
complied with to the letter before any
work of public improvement can be un-
dertaken or any contract, binding either
on the city or the contractor, can be en-
tered into.
To summarize briefly the requirements
of the law, the following steps must be
taken before any contract for public im-
provements of a permanent nature can
be let:
1. The commissioners must, for the
full understanding of the council, submit
to the council a description of the work,
together with an estimate of its cott.
2. The council shall by proper resolu-
tion approve the proposed work, desig-
nating its extent and cost.
3. The commissioners shall then ad-
vertise for the work, according to plans
and specifications to be made by them.
4. All contracts are subject to approval
by the city council.
5. All contracts must be signed by the
mayor and countersigned by the city
clerk.
6. All contracts must be paid for out
of the proceeds of the 5 per cent, forty-
year bonds or by funds set apart for that
purpose in the annual budget.
7. The commissioners of public works
shall have sole charge and supervision
of the work after the contract is made,
reporting monthly to the city council.
If the necessary public works are de
layed by failure to organize the board of
commissioners of public works the re-
sponsibility does not rest with me. I
have submitted to your consideration
the names of a number of our most repu-
table citizens. For reasons not known
to me they have been rejected. I shall
continue to nominate the best qualified
men I can select for this body, and trust
that it may be speedily organized for
good and effective work.
I am fully advised of the necessity of
the building contemplated by the resolu-
tion under discussion. I am in favor of a
liberal policy of public improvement, but
I shall not approve of any contract, nor
permit of the expenditure of a dollar of
the public moneys, unless it is done in
strict accordance with law and in con-
formity with the interests of the great
body of the taxpayers. Respectfully,
R. L. Fulton, Mayor.

fore been made by the city of Galveston
to defend or protect the interests of the
city in said suit: Therefore, the city at-

city and answer separately for the city
in said suit, and shall take all necessary
legal proceedings therein to prevent and

on the grants to and franchises of said

from time to time to this council of his
proceedings therein.
COMPLIMENTARY TO MR. CLEGG.
The hop tendered to A. B. Clegg, the
gallant leader of the german, was a suc-

dies were attired in the most lovely
gowns and the gentlemen never looked
more bewitching. The following guests
were present: Mrs. Chase and Mrs.

EXPLOSION SEQUEL?
Several additional suits growing out of
the late disastrous powder explosion on
the outskirts of Galveston have been
filed in the district court. Yesterday
the two claims of Arthur Auting and A.
Fachan, aggregating $30,000, were men-
tioned. Since then the following parties
have filed claims for damages against
the American Powder company, Dupont
Powder company, Hazzard Powder com-
pany and Laflin & Rand: R. C. Biehler,
$1500; Emma Leutsch, $500; John Vil-
leneuve, $4000; Joseph Meyers, $750;
Galveston Meat company, $2000. Mey-
ers, Biehler and Mrs. Leutch live on
Fifty-sixth and Postoffice streets in the
immediate vicinity of the powder houses
and suffered damages to their houses and
ne mat me excePnuuD furniture. The suits thus far instituted
that he took the risk of giving the medi- aggregate nearly $40,000.

day. Three hunured persons dressed in
costumes of ancient times will participate
in the fight. After tbe fight the nine
victorious knights will have a flambeau
procession in honor of the victory.
The bastile has been completed and is
ready to be placed on the grounds. It is
eighty feet long and forty-five feet high,
with four towers.
The orator of the day will be Mr. H.
Dubos. The fight begins at 8 o’clock
and will last one hour, after which there
will be a grand display of fireworks.

The Parrot’s Laugh.
Some years ago 1 possessed a parrot
which, among its other accomplishments,
could mimic perfectly the cook’s call for
Kitty, the household cat.
Polly’s cage hung usually in the kit-
chen, and Kitty's favorite mode of exit
in the summer was through the adjoin-
ing window and along the wooden parti-
tion fence which ran up to it.
No sooner would Polly observe Kitty-
sunning herself at the end of the fence
or in the yard than up would go the cry:
“Here, Kitty, Kitty! Here, Kitty, Kitty!1’
and the deluded quadruped hardly ever
failed to respond by dashing rapidly to-
ward the window.
Then that mischievous parrot would
chuckle and flap its wings and yell, “Ho,
ho, ho!”—thereby clearly demonstrating
its intense enjoyment of the practical
joke played upon the credulous cat.
Do you think that Polly did not laugh?
If so, I don’t know what a laugh is.—

Surprising Testimony.
Sfany physicians who have examined
into the merits of B B B (Botanic Blood
Balm) have been confronted with testi-
mony which they deemed surprising,
and thus being convinced of its wonder-
ful efficacy, have not failed to prescribe
it in their practice as occasion required.
H. L. Cassidy, Kennesaw, Ga., writes:
“For two years my wife was a great suf-
ferer. Skillful physicians did her no
good. Her mouth was one solid ulcer,
her body was broken' out in sores and
she lost a beautiful head of hair. Three
bottles B B B cured her completely, in-
credible as it may sound, and she is now
the mother of a healthy three-months-old
baby clear from any scrofulous taint.”
A. H. Morris, Pine Bluff, Ark., writes:
“Hot Springs and several doctors failed
to cure me of several running ulcers on
my leg. B B B effected a wonderfully
quick cure after everything else had
failed.”
The Sloop Mattie Returns to Look for
the Others.
Evening Tribune waited patiently all
afternoon yesterday for the return of the
sloop Mattie, which, with a rescuing
crew, left for Smith’s point, far up the
bay, to look for the bodies of the five
dead fishermen. Vincent Sergovich,
who was the sole survivor of the ill-fated
Danica, accompanied the party. He
tells a most wonderful story of his es-
cape from death.
Late yesterday evening the Mattie re-
turned with the body of Pete Stengel,
which was washed eshore at Smith’s
point. Sergovich saw it there before he
found a way to come to Galveston to tell
of the capsizing of his little fishing
craft and the fate of his companions.
The Mattie succeeded in finding none of
the others, and returned last night with
the body of Stengel, which was buried
at 10 o’clock this morning.
The body was taken to the undertak-
ing rooms of Levy Brothers where it was
prepared for burial after being viewed by
Acting Coroner Friery, who postponed
the inquest until today. -
The Mattie returned to the scene of
the wreck at a late hour last night and
will continue today the search for the
bodies of the four drowned men. Their
swoolen condition by this time will be apt
to bring them to the surface and the
mission of the Mattie may be more suc-
cessful today. The water was 10 to 15
feet deep where the boat was capsized,
but the wind was so high that the
bodies may have diifted far from that
point. -_________________
ALDERMAN SCHMIDT’S RESOLUTION.
One of the most important features of
the council meeting Tuesday evening
was a resolution introduced by Aider-
man Schmidt. It was lost from Even-
ing Tribune’s copy hook in some way
and did not appear yesterday. It was
read and referred to the city attorney.
Here is the resolution in full:
Resolved by the city council of the city
of Galveston: That whereas there was
granted by the city of Galveston to the
Gulf City Street Railway and Real Es-
tate company of Galveston, Tex., the
right of way over certain streets in the
city of Galveston and other franchises
and privileges, subject to, among other
conditions and restrictions; That said
Gulf City Street Railway and Real Es-
tate company shall not consolidate the
stock, property or franchise of such com-
pany by sale, purchase, lease or other-
wise with any other street railway com-
pany, or in any way be controlled by or
control such other company, save and ex-
cept with the consent of the majority of
the legal.voters of the city of Galveston
at an election to be ordered by the city
of Galveston, and that said company
should in consideration of said grant pay
2% per cent of the net receipts of said
An Incident in a Building Which Was
Once the Headquarters of the Father
of His Country—An Example of the
Changes That Time Makes.
Away down on Broad street there is a
building in which great men used to
meet, but which they keep away from
now.
In it met stately George Clinton, the
no less stately General Knox, and there
General Hamilton drank wine or coffee
with Burr long before they met on the
fields above Weehawken. Thomas Jef-
ferson sat and discussed politics in that
very house with Robert Morris and Ed-
mund Randolph, and if they did not al-
ways agree it did not matter for the mo-
ment.
In the same days at odd times a great,
dignified figure would sometimes ap-
pear in an upper room of this very house.
This man had* a large head, not all
swelled, and large feet, too, for that
matter. He stood head and shoulders
above the rest, and in stateliness sur-
passed them all. He drank his rum and
water with relish or else he took wine
that was really good with that enjoy-
ment that is felt by the man who knows
the worth of good vintage. A dark look-
ing man was near to attend to every de-
sire of this stately man.
The other habitues of the house treated
the dark man with familiarity. They
addressed him as “Sam," and called on
him from time to time to hotly pursue
his boys from the taproom below to the
room above with the tankards and the
crackers and cheese that were ordered.
The stately man was treated with rever-
ence. Hats were off and tongues were
still when he spoke, which was seldom.
They called him “General,” and in his
presence contentious minds forgot to dis-
pute.
THE HEADQUARTERS TODAY.
For this was General Washington, and
the dark attendant was “Black Sam’’
Fraunces, and the house was “Fraunces’
tavern.”
The other day a newspaper man who
still finds something to admire in Wash-
ington visited this old tavern that, until
a little over a year ago, still bore on its
wall a sign that designated it as “Wash-
ington’s Headquarters.” The sign is not
there now. The old wainscoting is gone
from the taproom on the lower floor.
The stairs that Washington and Jeffer-
son, John Adams, Hamilton and the rest
of them used in their day are torn down,
and a bar, over which schooners of bee:
are sold by ,r, stolid German gentleman,
stands where it did.
You approach the “long room,” sacred,
to Washington and his officers, by an
entrance, on one side of which is a cheap
barber shop, on the other signs to the ef-
fect that you can get “lodgings for gen-
tlemen only;” also liver and bacon, sauer-
kraut, kidney stew and other dishes of
the kind for practically nothing.
These delicacies are served in what
was known as the “Long Room,” where
Washington and his generals met in
their day. If Washington and some of
the stately men of his day could now
visit this room at that hour of the day
when kidney stew is most rampant they
might be a trifle shocked.
In one corner of this “Long Room,”
where the lodgers eat, a bust of George
Washington still stands. It shows up
his big head and nose in a very fair way.
But when you see it in a room filled
with the odor of kidneys, sauerkraut and
corned beef the effect is a little spoiled.
SHABBY TREATMENT.
Tradition has it that a man went into
the “Long Room” not many months ago
and saw this bust. It was in the morn-
ing, and the cooks had some cabbages
piled about the bust of the Father of his
Country. Perched upon the top of the
head, so to speak, of the figure was the
battered derby hat of some person un-
known. This man was a big man, so he
kicked a few of the cabbages away and
threw the hat out of the window. To a
German waiter who then appeared on
the scene he expressed himself frankly
and freely.
“How dare you treat a figure of George
Washington that way?” he demanded.
“Vot George Vashington?” said the
waiter. Then the American walked out
of the place in a dazed sort of way and
went up Broad street. Right in front of
the sub-treasury he noted the big statue
of Washington that stands there. He
looked at the brightness of the shoes and
stockings as they are represented as
compared with the general dinginess of
the rest of the figure. He did not know
that a crank came along some time ago
and brightened up the statue from the
buckled shoe to the knee, for he ex-
claimed in anger:
“Ef they haven’t blacked his feet and
legs with stove blackin’! No wonder
New York didn’t git the World’s fair if
she’s too mean to give George a fair
show.”
Then he drifted sadly away. His re-
marks were hardly fair. Still the “So-
ciety of the Cincinnati” has had its head- -
quarters in Fraunces’ for more than 100
years, and in that particular locality at
least, to use the expression of the rural
patriot quoted above, “George is not
getting a fair show.”—New York Re-

W’ore the blue ribbon as a token of hav-
ing been winners in some previous tour-
nament.
The following are the competing com-
panies in the order of their rank:
St.Louis BranchGeards,Belknap Rifles
of San Antonio, Sealy Rifles of Galves-
ton, McCarthy Rifles of Little Rock,
Omaha Guards, Southern Cadets of Ma-
con, Ga., Governor’s Guards of Indian-
apolis, Chickasaw Guards of Memphis,
Washington Fencibles of Washington,
D. C., Fletcher Rifles of Little Rock.
The drill was an exceptionally difficult
one, and the Sealys went through the
program without a break, despite the
fact that the wind was blowing a fearful
gale and the many other difficulties they
bad to contend with.
They were treated royally by the peo-
ple of Indianapolis, and it is needless to
say that the boys conducted themselves
in a manner to reflect credit upon the
city they represented and have assisted
not a little in spreading the fame of Gal-
veston abroad.
The Rifles will drill on Friday night, at
:30 o’clock, and not Thursday, as has
been announced, on the lawn at the
Beach hotel. They will be out in full
uniform, and all Galveston should turn
out to do them honor.
Both their outward and homeward
trips were exceedingly pleasant. The
c mpany left Galveston at 7.45 p. m on
Saturday, June 27, and reached Indian-
apolis at 10.30 on the following Monday
night. They were met at the train by
the Indianapolis Light Artillery and
drum corps, and escorted out Pennsyl-
vania avenue to the electric cars, which
carried them to their camp at the fair
grounds.
The next day was spent in sightseeing
and fraternizing until 4 o’clock, when
the Sealy’s gave a practice drill. Wed
nesday and Thursday were put in very
similarly, except that on the last day
their equipments were cleaned for exhi-
bition.
On Thursday evening they participat-
ed in a grand parade and were inspected ______ _______
at 8.30 on Friday morning by the three company to the city of Galveston, pay-
United States army officers who were I ments to be made semi-annually, and
selected to act as judges. At 2 p. m. the i that the rate of fare shall not exceed five
competitive drill took .place amidst a (
howling wind storm, which filled their
eyes with dust and blew their caps oft
their heads, The wind was so furious
that it was difficult to hear the com- i
mands of Captain Boyd. The Sealys
were the first to drill and the program ;
was a most difficult one. They weie
given forty-five minutes in which to go
through it, but did so in thirty nine min-
utes.
Saturday, the Fourth, was spent about
the city and in the evening a reception
was tendered to them at the state house,
where they were introduced to the gov-
ernor and his staff. From the state
house they proceeded to the residence of
Captain Richardson, at Irvington, one of
rhe suburbs of Indianapolis, where a
magnificent reception was tendered to
them by the Richardson Zouaves.
A dress parade wras given every even-
ing at 6 o’clock. On the occasion of the
last of these, Sunday night, the prizes
w’ere awarded, the Sealys broke camp
were escorted to the train by the Rich-
ardson Zouaves and drum corps.
Prior to their departure and just after
the dress parade on Sunday evening, the
i Sealy’s were serenaded by the camp band
and introduced to their sponsor, Miss
Caroline Farquahar, one of the loveliest
young ladies of Indianapolis, who shook
each member by the hand, congratulated
the company on winning the third prize,
and made them feel reluctant to leave
her presence and return to their far
southern home.
The company arrived at St. Louis at
7 o’clock on Monday morning, were me1f
by the Busch Zuaves and escorted about
the city. They were shown through the
immense Anheuser-Busch brewery, al-
most drowned in their vats of beer, ta-
ken to the parks and public buildings
and treated as though they had been the
especially invited and honored guests of
the Mound city.
Bidding a reluctant farewell to their
St Louis friends, the Sealy Rifles started
south at 8 p. m. on Monday and
reached home this morning to receive
the congratulations of Galveston’s entire
population on their brilliant victory and
proud distinction they have won for
themselves and the Island City among
the crack regiments of the Union.
We’re not waiting for the bats and
moles, but for men and women who have
eyes and use them, who have brains and
reason ! There’s a new world for them—
suffering and sickly as they are—a new
Aorld created from the brain of a skill-
ful physician—a discovery—the “Golden
Medical Discovery.”
Years ago Dr. Pierce found out that
the secret of all scrofula, bronchial,
throat and lung trouble lay—in the be-
ginning at least—in impure blood and
the weak tone of tbe system ; that the
way to cure these effects was to remove
the cause, that human nature being the
same, the same results might be looked
for in nearly all cases. So confident Was
he that the exceptions were uncommon.
cine to those it didn’t benefit for noth-
ing, and the results have proved that he
was right.
. And “Golden Medical Discovery” is
the remedy for the million! The only
guaranteed liver, blood and lung remedy.
Yrour money back if it doesn’t help you.
