THE (COUNCIL QUITS MONKEYING
AND GETS TO BUSINESS.
Some Big Stills Destroyed, by Officials in
Tennessee.
Tullahoma, Tenn., Dec. 10.— Last
Monday a party of deputy United States
marshals under the command of Deputy
Collector Spurrier made a raid on moon-
shiners on the Tennessee and Alabama
line. They captured two large distiller-
ies with several thousand gallons of
liquor and other material.
The distilleries were located on the
headwaters of Little Coon creek, two
miles from Stevenson, Ala., in a rugged
mountain region, and had been in oper-
ation a long time, and did a thriving
business.
The owners of the stills showed fight,
but were driven off. The officers demol-
ished the stills and got out of the locality
in a hurry, as the moonshiners were
hunting help.
Still Unknown.
New York, Dec., 10.—The name of
the man who threw the bomb in Russell
Sage’s office is still unknown, and all
theories as to his identity have been dis-
proven. _________________

THE Y. M. C. A. LECTURE.
Last night an interested audience filled
the seats of the Y. M. C. A. lecture room
to listen to Dr. N. T. Shields talk about
“The Teeth and Their Care.”
The lecture, while brief, was meaty,
entertaining and most profitable, and
was given the closest attention by those
present. After the lecture some well
rendered violin and piano music was
given by the Messrs. Sam and Maurice
Frenkel.
The next entertainment will be given
on Saturday evening, December 19, when
Dr. I. M. Cline of the signabservice will
lecture on “The Phenomena of the

It Provides a Whole Lot of Entertain-
ment and Fun.
Professors. Gareissen and Weis opened
the concert last evening with a four
handed piano duet and received an ova-
tion. The baritone solo by Mr. Grelling
was very good as was also the monologue
entitled “Behind a Curtain” by Miss
Loula Jockusch. Then followed three
piano solos by Miss Blanch Beer and
then followed the Galveston Quartette
society who opened with, a fore part
song with tenor solo by Mr. Blake. They
received an en core and responded with
“The Invitation to the Waltz.”
This wTas the first appearance in public
of that society under the leadership of
Mr. F. .0. Becker, and the public
showed its appreciation of its efforts in a
very flattering manner.
The program ended with the comical
farce-comedy, “Box and Cox,” in which
Mr. J. P. Lalor as Box and Mr. Edgar
Johnson as Cox took the house by
storm. Mr. Becker as “the bouncer”
also did his part exceedingly w’ell, and
the public was entertained with more mu-
sic than it could possibly have expected.

The Clothier Burglary Comes to the
Front Again—Fearful of Discovery the
Perpetrator Restores Some Valuables
—Supposed to Have Skipped.
Not very long ago Mr. Geo. E. Clothier,
the well known bookkeeper for P. J. Willis
& Bro., living on avenue M, between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets, awoke
in the morning to find that his panta-
loons were missing from their accus-1
tomed place on the bed-post, ditto his
watch and chain, $87.50 in cash, a watch j
belonging to his sister, Miss Mary B.
Clothier, a box containing sundry arti-
cles of jewelry, such as bracelets, sleeve-
buttons, etc., and one or two articles of ’
wearing apparel.
Some days later it was discovered that
Mr. Clothier’s watch had been pawned
with “Uncle Eph” for $33, and the same
was confiscated by the police, but here I
all further traces of the bold burglar <
seemed to come to a stop. ]
On last Saturday evening about 9
o’clock a man presented himself at the
, pawnbroker shop of Meyer Migel and
■ offered to pawn a ladies’ watch for $30. <
: The very minute Mr. Miael took hold of (
the watch he recognized it as one he had j
sold to Mr. Clothier four years ago, and
asked the stranger where he had ob 1
' tained it, telling him, by the way of an j
excuse, that there was a history to that (
watch.
The stranger! ?) replied that he had
- bought it from a negro, but as soon as 1
he noticed Mr. Migel make a move to <
start from behind the counter he (
MADE A DART FOR THE DOOR ]
' and disappeared into the alley between ,
Market and Postoffice . streets, leaving
. the watch behind. 2
In closer examination the suspicions j
of Mr, Migel were verified and this j
proved to be the watch belonging to Miss
Clothier.
But here comes the sequel and the
dead give away of the whole burglary :
That same night about 12 o’clock some
one rang the bell of the Clothier resi- .
dence and Miss Clothier from within
asked what was wanted. A soft and
gentlemanly voice on the outside replied,
that he wanted to see Mr. O. on a matter
of impotance to him. Being told that
Mr. C. had not yet returned home he
said that Mrs. C. would do as well and
asked to be admitted. This request the
young lady refused to comply with but
said that she would call one of the neigh-
bors, to which the man on the outside
demurred and left the premises.
The next morning a colored couple
named Lee, passing the premises on the
way to church, discovered a bundle in
front of Mr. Clothier’s house, which
they at first mistook for a dog, but on
closer examination found to be a coat,
within which was wrapped a box con-
taining sundry articles of jewelry.
This they took to police headquarters,
where it was subsequently found to con-
tain a number of the trinkets stolen from
Mr. Clothier’s residence.
AND THEREBY HANGS A TALE.
This incident not only goes to show’
that the burglar had repented of his act,
which is something a professional never
does, but that he was trying to compro-
mise matters with the man whose prem-
ises he had so unceremoniously entered
and robbed of a number of valuables.
To this he was undoubtedly forced by
the suspicion that his identity had been
discovered by Mr. Migel.
It is also known that he took an ex-
tended trip to the east after committing
the burglary, and only returned when
his ill-gotten means gave out. That he
has again disappeared from the city is
also an established fact, but the impres-
sion prevails that he would not, in any
event, be prosecuted.
BARGAINS FOR ALL.
The public is generally aware of the
fact that the big clothing firm of S.
Jacobs, Bernheim & Co. is selling out
its immense stock of goods preparatory
to going to St. Louis, but people have
no idea of the tempting bargains being
offered. The firm says it is cheaper for
it to sell below wholesale cost than to
pack and move the goods and pay freight
on them. Everything in men’s and
boys’ clothing can be found there. Go in
and price these goods and you will be
surprised to see how well you can do.

station inside the railing.
The first order of business was the
reading of a letter from Colonel J. W.
Byrnes withdrawing the proposition he
had made on last Monday to sink the
artesian well beyond the 3000 feet called
for in the contract. The request was ]
granted.
The clerk then read a lengthy opinion
from City Attorney Rhodes as to the J
validity o'f
THE WELL CONTRACT 1
as made between the mayor and city
council on the one side and J. P. Miller ’
& Co. on the other in November, 1890.
Mr. Rhodes reviews the condition of rhe j
city treasury at that date, showing that ]
when the contract was made there was but ’
$24,000 available for this purpose, and 1
the fact that this was stated in said con- _
tract is held by Mr. Rhodes to be an ac- j
knowledgment on the part of J. P. Miller
& Co. that the council had no authority ,
to enter into the contract at that time. <
He again quotes section 29 of the char-
ter, which prohibits the council from ap-
propriating money or making contracts
involving the city in liability for the pay- ;
ment of money in excess of the budget
allowance, and then goes on to say : “I
am of the opinion that this council is
without authority, there being no money i
available for that purpose at the present ]
time, to enter into any contract with .
Messrs. J. P. Miller & Co. to extend their
work beyond the depth of 3000 feet,
when they should have reached such <
depth upon the terms stated by them in
their proposition before the council.”
Mr. Rhodes also argued against the
proposition of appointing the inspectors
asked for, previous to the withdrawal of i
the petition by Colonel Byrnes, and con- ,
eludes his opinion on the validity of the
contract in the following words:
“And I shall at all times feel it to be
my duty to advise you against the appro-
priation of any money which may be
available hereafter for the purpose of
securing a fresh water supply derived
from the sale of bonds authorized to be
issued for such purpose by the charter
amendments passed by the last legisla-
ture to the payment of the sum of $75,-
000, as called for by the contract under
consideration, until the courts should
have first determined that the contract
of Messrs. J. P. Miller & Co , made
with your predecessors, is of binding
force on the city of Galveston.”
THE PAVING QUESTION.
The report of the committee of the
whole was again read, and, on motion
of Mr. Levine, was adopted, Mr. Levy
alone voting in the negative.
After some little delay to enable the
city attorney to properly [frame the reso-
lution Aiderman Allen moved that the
city engineer be instructed to furnish
estimates for filling, grading and paving
the forty blocks determined upon al the
next regular meeting of the council—es-
timates to include paving with creosoted
wood, vitrified brick and other mate-
rials. The resolution was unanimously
adopted.
The next business in order was a re-
port of the committee on finance and
revenue asking for an appropriation of
$18,263.64 for the November pay roll. It
leaked out that there was a deficiency of
nearly $3000 in the general fund, which,
however, would be covered during next
few days, and on Mr. Goggan giving
his personal guarantee to that effect, sec-
onded by Mr. Fowler, the appropriation
was made in full without a dissenting
vote.
Purchasing Agent Jockusch presented
three bids for partitioning the second
story of the city hall, and the lowest of
these, $50, from Gus W. Bautsch, was
on motion of Mr. Bolton adopted.
Specifications and bids for repairs on
engine houses Nos. 1 and 3 were next
submitted from G. W. Bautsch, G. J.
Garthar, Parker & Bailey and Bell &
Callan. These occasioned some dis-
cussion as to the sufficiency of the avail-
able funds, but after a transfer of $1000
had been made from the $3000 set aside
for edging of the public square, in
accordance with a resolution offered by-
Mr. Bolton, these bids were referred to
the committee on public property and
city engineer, with power to award the
contract.
Mr. Nolan at first opposed this expen-
diture on the ground that it would leave
the city without a dollar available for
repairs of any other public buildings,
and because he understood that an ap-
propriation of $400 would be needed for
the new engine house (No. 5) which was
of more importance, as without it no en-
gines could get in or out, but the trans-
fer of $1000 as above paved the way to a
unanimous vote.
REVENUE FROM HOSPITAL PATIENTS.
A resolution submitted by president
Thompson of the Sealy hospital asked
that all moneys collected from private
patients be placed to the credit of the

COUNCIL NOTES.
Last evening’s council meeting was
the most decorous one of the year.
Mayor Fulton seems to ha»e antici-
pated Aiderman Allen’s resolution in re-
gard to a set of printed rules.
The policeman standing inside the
railing made the council look something
like Judge Cavin’s court of a Monday
morning.
The best of feeling seemed to prevail
in the honorable council, and not a cross
word passed between the members.
Fearful of what the paving question
might result in, Clerk Buckley had his
hair cropped very short yesterday; but
it seems that the precaution was entirely
unnecessary.
Aiderman Harris was the best general
among those whom Evening Tribune
interviewed yesterday.
Aide;man Walsh was absent because
of an operation w’hich had been per-
formed on his eye during the day.

Chili Thinks Harrison’s Message Hostile
—Telegraph Operators on the Southern
Pacific Go Out on a Strike Against an
Arbitrary Order.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 10.—Mr.
Springer, in an interview, said he was
opposed to anything like the McKinley
bill of two years ago and the Mills bill
of four years ago.
He suggests the introduction of bills
embracing an article each. For instance,
one bill to put iron on the free list; one
for coal; one for cotton ties and binder
twine, etc. As an offset to free wool
manufactured goods should be re-
duced.
The committee on manufactures
should be given new importance and in-
creased to fifteen members—tm Demo-
crats and five Republicans—and should
be ready to lay a report before congress
next winter.
If the Democrats carry the next con-
gressional and presidential elections the
report of the committee would be made
the basis of an exhaustive tariff bill.
CHILI AND THE MESSAGE.
Valparaiso, Dec. 10.—President Har-
rison’s statement of Chilian affairs is
regarded here as threatening a rupture,
and it is believed that Chili will neither
apologise nor make any material in-
demnity.
The Chilian government is actively
making warlike preparations, and artil-
lery of the latest manufacture has been
ordered from Germany.
Spain’s demand for a large indemnity
complicates matters, and Chili would
doubtless defy Spain if the question with
the United States had not arisen.
Capt. Schley appears pleased with the
message.
OPERATORS strike.
San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 10.—Thirty
telegraphers on the Southern Pacific rail-
way lines in Arizona and New Mexico
struck yesterday on account of the affi-
davit required of them, swearing that
they will not belong to the order of rail-
way telegraphers without the consent of
the superintendent.
the maintenance of the hospital. City
Attorney Rhodes having stated that he
saw no objections to the proposition, Mr.
Goggan moved that the transfer be made
and the votej'resulted in 13 yes 1 no
(Nolan.)
The report of the committee on exami-
nation of unsafe buildin gs was not con-
sidered but referred to flic committee on
ordinances and the city attorney.
The public property, committee re-
ported in favor of purchasing four of Mr.
Willit’s maps for the use of officers at
the city hall. So ordered.
An amendment proposed to arlicle 397
relating to the stock law was referred to
the ordinance committee.
Alderman Boysen offered a resolution
that the chief engineer be authorized to
organize a new hose company consisting
of four men to be located in the First
ward. The resolution was adopted by a
vote of 13 yea^, 1 no (Nolan).
Mr. Mason offered a resolution that
the city attorney be instructed to exam-
ine the oidinances to see whether any
railway company in this city was using
any street to the use of which they were
Intimated That Mills Will Decline the
Ways and Means—Springer Will Then
Get it—The North and West to be
Honored as Never Before.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 10.—There
is great interest in Speaker Crisp’s poli-
cy relative to the national issues—tariff
and silver. Mills’ pronounced views
against free silver and in favor of a gen-
eral tariff bill, coupled, with a disposi-
tion to resent his defeat, leads to the
belief that he will not be chairman of
the ways and means nor his followers
control the coinage committee.
Springer may head the ways and
means, as he finally elected Crisp and
now publicly pledges himself in favor of
a lot of small tariff bills this session, and
the appointment of a tariff commission
to travel over the country next summer
grathering views from the people and
prepare a bill for the second session. ■
This leaves the matter of a tariff policy
sufficiently elastic next election to fit all
cases and generally indefinate to prom-
ise something better for everybody dis-
satisfied.
It is conceded that Holman^ will head
the appropriations committee and in-
augurate vigorous economy reform.
Tracy of New York may head the
coinage committee, but it is scarcely
probable, however, that anybody will
be able to prevent the passage of a free
coinage bill, as two-thirds of the house
Democrats fayor it.
Of course Blanchard will be the head
of the river and harbor committee.
It is probable many old southern
members will be disappointed as to the
chairmanships.
If the members who fall heir to chair-
manships by virtue of their positions in
the Fiftieth congress should reserve
the right of succession nearly two-thirds .
of the chairmanships w’ould go south.
This plan, therefore, can not be adopted,
and its abandonment means a breaking
down and shaking up of established
precedents.
Should the chairmanship of the ways
and means, judiciary, naval, and other
prominent committees go to the men who
either held them in the Fiftieth congress
or who were ranking members of the
minority in the last congress, they would
be filled by ex-Coniederates, and to the
exclusion of northern Democrats,whereat
there would be the usual howl of “Con-
federacy again iu the saddle.”
It is certain that in view of the ar-
rangement of committees the north and
west will receive more recognition than
they have ever had given to them before.
