LOCAL NOTES.
You are not voting as you should.
The A. A. 0. 0. O. club met again
Monday night, and spent a very pleasant
evening.
The British steamship Leny, chartered
to load wheat for Europe, arrived this
morning from New Orleans.
The schooner Fair Wind arrived from
Morgan City this morning with railroad
ties for the Santa Fe company.
The jetties train took out 18 carloads
of rock this morning which goes to show
that considerable work is being done.
The schooners Nellie T. Morse and
Nathan T. Cobb, coal laden from New-
port News, Va., have arrived in port.
Velascoites are already returning with
a‘downcast look from the great seaport
at the mouth of the Brazos. More will
follow7 later on.
Send in those votes on the bridge
question. It is believed that a large
majority of the people favor a bridge,
but if they do they are not showing it by
their votes.
Lovers of dancing spent a very pleas-
ant evening at the Beach last night. One
of those hops, for which the hotel is
famous, was in progress, and everyone
enjoyed themselves.
The fat and juicy oyster is now in the
same fix that the turkey is just prior to
thanksgiving day. Everybody’s mouth
is watering while his expectancy is get-
ting almost beyond control.
Matters about the water front, which
have been wearing a dull and careworn
appearance during the summer months,
are now brightening up, and a busy sea-
son seems to be close at hand.
A horse belonging to Mr. J. Hogan
living on Twenty-fifth street and ave-
nue PX was suffering from lockjaw
which caused the owner to request offi-
cer Henry Bee to shoot the animal.
Recorder Cavin’s matinee was not as
well attended this forenoon as it gener-
ally is at this time of year. The falling
off must be due to cooler weather which
produces cooler heads without a cooling
off in the city’s cooler.
The bodies of little Joe Webber and
his colored companion, George Lee, will
probably never be recovered. It is now
four days since they were drowned, and
all efforts to find them have thus far
proved unavailable.
IjgThere will be two sailing parties in the
faster end of this week. Galveston
young people have a great liking for the
still waters of the bay, and seem to think
they must get all the good they can out
of it before winter comes.
If the people take no more interest in
the bridge the county commissioners
would be justified in dropping the mat-
ter entirely. These officials want to
carry out the, will of the people, but if
the people have no will in the matter the
commissioners have nothing to do.
The ice cream social, last night at the
Presbyterian church was quite a success-
ful affair. It was under the auspices of
Mrs. McCollough and Mrs. Scott, Mrs.
Griffin, Mrs. Thurman and other ladies,
gave their aid. This will probably be
the last of these charming socials which
is a fact to be regretted.
The little steam yacht Phyllis went out
on the bay last evening with a pleasure
party in charge of Captain A. B Crane.
The spin around the circle was got
up in honor of Miss Pearl Cashell of
Austin, who is a guest of Mr. and Mrs.
John E. Bailey, and a very enjoyable
time was had.
Last evening’s dispatches conveyed
the information that the Bluefields Ba-
nana company’s steamer fi ranklin had
been wrecked on St. Andrew’s island off
the coast of Nicaragua. It will be re-
membered that the Franklin made one
trip to this port on the withdrawal of the
Agnes some two months ago. She is a
larger steamer than either the Agnes or

OH, LOOK! LOOK!
TREMONT ORCHESTRA.
Colonel Geo. H. Walker today signed
a contract with Professor E. W. Berry
and his excellent band to furnish the
music during the theatrical season,
which will commence at the Tremont
opera house on September 16. The
Galveston public will therefore be able
to enjoy the pleasure of hearing this fine
band ior another six months at least,
a.ter which it is hoped they will find
themselves so closely identified with the
interests of this < ity ae not to leave it at
all but to sign another contiact with the
Beach hotel management.
Chinamen Win the First Capital Prize
of 815,000.
In the Little Louisiana lottery of San
Francisco, Cal., in the drawing of Au-
gust 11, 1891, Quong Man Yuen and
Lee Long, both prominent Chinese mer-
chants of San Antonio, Texas, purchased
through Mr. Rische, the agent there, a
whole ticket in the original Little
Louisiana Lottery of San Francisco, Cal.,
and captured the first prize of $15,000.
Same was promptly paid through Wells-
Fargo & Company’s express int United
States gold coin.
B. W. Lecompte, Jr,, sole agent, office
Market between Twenty-third and Twen-
ty-fourth streets, Galveston, Texas.
Breifond and has teen plving in the
northern banana trade. Her old com-
mander, Captain Jensen, went on a visit
to Norway w hen the vessel was in this
port.
The board of public works will meet
at the city hall, Friday night, to examine
and decide upon plans for a new engine
house which will be submitted. The site
chosen is on avenue K, between Six-
teenth and Seventeenth, back of McLe-
more’s, and the new house is intended to
be the best of its kind.
When a few more boys are killed by
steam and electric cars, perhaps they will
cease catching on behind, but it is doubt-
ful. They seem to take special delight
in taking hold when the car is at full
speed, and if they are only dragged a
little way their cup is full. The police
now should make it a rule to arrest every
boy who ever attempts to take hold of a
car.
The Galveston base ball club arrived
this morning and are comfortably lo-
cated at the Maverick. They are Geo.
Page, Geo Gates, H. Sinclair, Geo.
Dean, W. Rogers, Lee Burrough, Tom
Drew, H Morrison, Jas. W. Daley, Jr.,
W. S. Vidor. They are a fine looking
lot of young fellows, and will probably
give the San An onio invincibles a pret-
ty good tussle.—San Antonio News’.
The magnificent new reclining chair
car just received by the Santa Fe rail-
way will be placed on the side track
opposite the depot at 10:30 a. m. tomor-
row morning for public inspection and
all are cordially invited to call and see
it. The car is the first of the six new
ones which will be placed on trains be-
tween Galveston and Houston and on
the main line of the Santa Fe railway.
The embryo drum corps met for exer-
cise last evening and the number of boys
now enrolled was swelled to fourteen
Those of the first batch who failed to
attend last evening were ignominiously
dropped from the rolls. Mr. Baker de-
sires two more boys for the snare drums,
which will number sixteen in all, one
for the bass drum, and eight for fifes. In
the words of the leader, he intends to
make this a “ dandy drum corps.”
The careless manner in which the
switch trains frequently move across
street crossings is enough to make a
person’s hair stand on end. A long
train of freight cars will back up with-
out as much as a flag man stationed at
the crossing. The engine will be back
of twenty or more cars and so far distant
that its bell cannot be heard in the din
and noise. It is a miracle that more
people do not get run over and killed in
this manner. Is there no remedy for
this dangerous practice?
Everything is in readiness for the dra-
matic and musical entertainment to be
given on Friday night for the benefit of
the Island City Boating club. Reserved
seats can be secured without extra charge
by applying at the box office of the Tre-
mont after 9 o’clock Friday morning.
In addition to the comedies which will
be presented by the Histrionics there
will be the following musical attractions:
Piano duet by the Misses Focke. Mrs.
Mayo-Rhodes will singGorrod’s serenade
“Sing, Smile, Slumber” with violin obli-
gato by F. J. Ressel and piano accom-
panient by Miss Focke.
PURELY PERSONAL.
Rev. Father Truchard returned this
morning after a two years absence in
France. He comes back in blooming
health and is glad to once more to be
back in his Galveston home.
Annie and Emmisch, the little daugh-
ters of T. B Gale have returned after a
pleasant trip to Palestine.
Mrs. T. B. Gale and her two children
will leave tomorrow for an extended
visit to Denver, Colo.
George Todd and. wife of Jefferson ar-
rived in the city this morning. Mr. Todd
is one of the regents of the University of
Texas.
James B. Clark of Austin is a visitor
to the Island city.
Mrs. Dr. Truebeart and family have
returned to the city after spending a
pleasant summer in Kerrville.
Dr. J. B. Burford the leading merch-
ant of Moravia is in the city for business
and pleasure. He is under Thos. Gog-
gan’s wing and consequently is having
a great time.
The Lincoln Guards, the colored mili-
tary company of this city who went to
the colored state encampment at. San
Antonio forty-four strong returned home
last evening without having lost a single
man in the sham battle or general
shuffle. The were met at the depot by
the cadet band and escorted to their ar-
mory on Postoffice street amid the strains
of music and followed by a large gather-
ing of admiring friends. Here the band
took position on the platform and in a
few minutes the companv was in lively
whirl, each man with “the girl he had
left behind.” It is stated that the Lin-
coln braves had won every prize com-
peted for in Tamaleville.
Attention is frequently called to the
careless manner in which mule car
drivers cross the electric car tracks and
the hair-breadth escapes of some of them
from collision. Yesterday afternoon one
of these chaps attempted to cross /the in-
tersection of Twenty-second and Church
streets just as a Denver resurvey car was
coming along. The driver, who^ was
leisurely smoking his pipe, did not no-
tice the electric car until a collision
seemed unavoidable. He had barely
time to swing his mule to one side and
apply the brake before the front end of
his car was shaved off by the electric
motor. A lady with her two children
inside the car were nearly' frightened to
death, and this is not the first danger of
the same nature they have been in while
riding on the mule cars in this city.

Costly Unmusical Education.
Why is it that there are so few fine

one cause. To obtain good results first-

with hand you. Ours was an enthusias-
tic meeting of those who have ever taken
interest in such matters, while the pre-
tended meeting had, as we learn, but
seventeen present by actual count
and those, only of those who have op-
posed such conventions.
Pursuant to a call published in the
Argus last Thursday, a goodly number
of colored people congregated about the
doors of Saint Augustine church, corner
Broadway and Thirty-second street, to
take part in a mass convention to elect
delegates to the forthcoming colored
men’s convention at Houston. The
doors of the church not being open, and
H. P. Whittlesey, the chairman issuing
the call, not appearing at the appointed
hour, Sam. Simmons called the meeting
to order upon the church steps, stating
the object as he understood it, and then
stated that the thing in order was the
election of a chairman and secretary.
G. W. Whitthorne moved that Sam
Simmons and 0. H. Swann be chairman
and secretary respectively, which mo-
tion prevailed. Several present sug-
gested that the meeting adjourn to some
more convenient meeting place to con-
clude the business. After discussing
several places it was finally agreed to
adjourn to rooms adjoining Sam Sim-
mon’s shoe shop on Center street near
Postoffice.
The meeting being called to order in
the new place G. W. Whitthorne moved
that a committee of seven to select a
suitable delegation be appointed by the
chair, which motion prevailed. The
committee being appointed retired and
in a little while reported the following:
Richard Nelson, Rev. H. S. McMillan,
Sr., J. W. Dickson, Sam Warren, Rev.
J. H. Hall, Dr. J. H. Wilkins, Henry
McAllister, Rev. Wm. Brown, Dr. D. G.
Ferrell, J. H. Patrick, R. E. M. Terrell,
P. H. Matthews, J. A. D. Lawson, W.
T. Knowles, Sam Simmons, C. H. Swann,
Wm. Henry, Sr., G. H. Nevielles, F. A.
Dunn, James Blair, J. H. Holland, Ed.
Wiggins, Jas. I. Gilmore, Henry Clay
Gray, Nick Washington, Esquire Bab-
bitt, Robert Green, Cyrus Clark.
Several speeches were made. Not
much was said about representation at
the World’s Fair or the separate coach
law, but a resolution was carried in-
structing the delegation to find out and
publish to the world what there is in the
Oklahoma movement and the project to
build a railroad wholly by means of col-
ored capital. Sam Simmons, Chairman.
C. H. Swann, Secretary.

The day is done, and all is rest,
I feel the soft, cool evening breezes,
A feeling of peace dwells in my breast,
The day is done, all work has ceased,
The moon throws forth its silvery light,
The sun is sleeping in the west.
Welcome! welcome! mo't glorious night,
The day is done and all is rest.
A feeling of sadness sweeps over me,
And my thoughts drift far away,
And I think of a mother across the sea,
Whose hairs are turning gray.
As I think of a father and sisters dear,
And the land of my boyhood days,
A feeling of sadness comes o’er me,
Which 1 can not drive away.
I watch the curling rings of smoke
As I blow them from my mouth,
I watch them rise and softly float
With the sea breeze from the south.
The feeling of sadness deepens
With the falling drops of rain,
And they fill my heart with longing
For the dear old home again.

No name will be used, only the vote.
The first and last lines are the important
ones. If you are in favor of the bridge
that is for the best interests of tlje peo-
ple, vote the first line, for the exigencies
of the occasion may make it a wagon or
a combination bridge. If you are opposed
to any bridge at all vote the last line, but
study a long time before you vote it that
way. Send in the votes.

following votes have been handed in :
Bor a Bridge
Wagon Bridge
Wagon and Railroad Bridge .. ..

Music Teachers and Pianos,
Teachers who advise the purchase of
inferior pianos damage not only the buy-
ers but the pupils who will use them;
those who recommend the Weber, Ivers
& Pond and Emerson pianos can be
classed as musicians who know what
good instruments are. Thos. Goggan &
Bro , Ualveston, sell these pianos on
easy payinents without demanding notes.
Ths World’s Fair.
The south may claim, without preju-
dice, to have more than its share of the
world’s fair. The acknowledged beauty
of the ladies of the south is due in a
great degree to the use of Creole Female
Tonic, the ladies’ friend and favorite, and
sure cure for all female ailments. o

The Advocate* of a Wagon Bridge are
in the Lead, But All are in Favor of
a Bridge—Every Citizen Has a Right
to Ca«t a Vote.
The first day’s balloting was very sat-
isfactory to Evening Tribune and the
advocates of a bridge to the mainland.
Every vote cast was for a bridge. The
friends of a wagon bridge took the lead.
The people argue that the railroads have
two bridges and that they show no dis-
position to join in this matter, hence
thev vote for a wagon bridge.
Those who vote for a bridge are will-
ing to let the exigencies of the case settle
it. If, when the time arrives, it is seen
that a combination brilge can be built,
most people would favor such an ar-
rangement. Hence they vote for abridge.
Yesterday this paper printed several
thousand coupons on little slips of paper
for distribution among the people.
Ample time is given, and the vote will
be announced from day to day. If you
cannot get a coupon, come to this office,
give your name and your sentiments on
the bridge question.
Votes will be received up to noon Sat-
urday, September 5th, and the full result
announced in the issue of that day. Every
man is entitled to vote, and every single
woman who pays a tax shall be entited to
cast a vote.
■Clip out the following coupon and send
it in. Let everybody vote. You should
not remain silent on this most important
question. Erase the lines you oppose:
