Will Concent'ate Democratic Strength.
A Democratic nomination has been
made for congress under circumstances
that are calculated to concentrate the
Democratic strength ot the district.
Hon. Walter Gresham, the nominee, is
a man of great individuality, a conserva-
tive statesman and endowed with in-
domitable energy and perseverance.
Conceding his election, we believe this
district will have no reason to regret the
choice that has been made.—Halletts-

THE PAVING CONTRACT.
Up to noon today no reply had been
received from Dallas in regard to the
Orr & Co. matter and the papers which
were sent to Dallas by City Attorney
Rhodes several days ago. The chances
are that the city council will take some
decisive action by Monday evening un-
less the contractors are heard from be-
fore that time.

ALL IS QUIET
Made at Bellville on August 3—-A Good
Good Demncrat—Will Have no Diffi-
culty ia Carrying His District—-Con-
cede His Ejection.
The congressional convention for the
Tenth district, which convened at Bell-
ville on the 9th inst., completed its
labors last Wednesday night at a late
hour by nominating the Hon. Walter
Gresham of Galveston as the Democratic
candidate for congress in this district.
Of course it is unnecessary to say that
this nomination was quite a surprise
and disappointment to the citizens of
this county, conveying, as it does, the
idea that the two larger counties of the
district Fayette and Galveston—had com-
bined to defeat the expressed will of the
people of the smaller counties. Wells
Thompson went into the convention with
twenty-six votes from Gonzales, Lavaca,
Colorado, Fort Bend, Matagorda,
Fayette and Galveston, showing the
greater strength of the three candi-
dates, but by some sort of combination
between the delegates from the larger
counties was defeated before the conven-
tion. Neither of the other candidates
was able to carry his own county. To
say, then, that our people were disap-
pointed expresses it mildly, and the
good old Democratic doctrine that “the
majority should rule’’ was apparently
trampled under foot and personal en-
mity of a few to the popular candidate
seems to have carried the day.
The Hon. Walter Gresham is not a
new and untried hand in legislative
matters, is an intelligent,^shrewd busi-
ness man, a good Democrat, and would
make an able and efficient congressman.

Evening Tribune is indebted to Col.
J. E. Mason for a copy of the New York
Evening Telegram of the list inst. A
big blue pencil mark directs attention to
a four-line pica headline over a column
article announcing that
“Heat and Humidity
Make the People Wilt.”
This is emphasized with the additional
head line information that “Dwellers in
Cities Along the Atlantic Coast Are Stew-
ing Under a Torrid Sun,” and that it is
Ninety-five Degrees at Three O’clock.”
A private note from poor Joseph con-
firms all this and more. He says ;
“Hell has turned loose.
“Here I am in my room at 4 p.m.;
feet in a tub of ice water; ton of ice on
my head.
“The south is knocked out for heat.
“Advise folks to not come north for
comfort.
“Stay home.”
This is good advice, and is being very
generally followed.
Poor Joseph has the pathetic sym-
pathy of his friends here who are in-
dulging in the luxury of the most
equable climate in this country.

Southern Afternoon Press.
Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 19.-—Shaking
into place of 5000 soldiers who arrived
last night and during the morning is the
most prominent surface movement today
in the strike field.
One fact tangible to all men is that
out of the Lehigh and Erie yards trains
are occasionally moving away, always
with those chilly musket barrels as an
accompaniment to cool any possible de
sire to interfere.
They see New York central trains
running eastward through with a
frequency that the leaders say is im-
possible to the company without aid of
striking men.
There are indications from the strik-
ers’ side that the firemen or trainmen,
or both, may be called out within three
days to add numbers and what is
regarded to be strength to the striking
switchmen.

Taking up the convention proceedings
where they were left off yesterday
Evening Tribune will say that in the
Clark convention but little was done
other than to nominate Professor Bickler
as a candidate for superintendent of
public instruction.
C. P. Gillespie of Dallas, who had
been nominated for Comptroller, de-
clined by wire, as he was about to leave
the state for several months. The ex-
ecutive committee being empowered to
appoint another in his stead, the matter
will be attended to.
•When the Clark convention adjourned
sine die it marched through the streets
with a “Turn Texas Loose” banner, and
brought up at the Hutchins house, where
it was addressed by Hon. George Clark.
The Hogg convention at its evening
session proceeded to make its minor ap-
pointments. Mr. M. M. Crane of Johnson
county was nominated for lieutenant-
governor; W. L. McGaughey, for land
commissioner; John D. McCall, for
comptroller; W. B. Wortham, for treas-
urer ; Prof. Carlisle, renominated for
public instruction ; W. L. Davidson and
E. J. Simkins, for the court of criminal
appeals.
After appointing a state executive
committee, and electing Hon. Waller S.
Baker of Waco its chairman, and return-
ing thanks to the citizens of Houston
and its police and officers who had
presided in the convention the Demo-
cratic convention of the state of Texes
adjourned sine die.

Would Ratlier be Shot Than Betray Hie
Trust Asked That His Grave b»
Properly Marked — Lynching of a
Braye Man Still Feared.
Southern Afternoon Press.
Knoxville, Tenn., Aug. 19 —This was
the situation as known at Knoxville al
1.30 this morning: The Journal corres-
pondent just escaped from Coal Creek to
Offuts where the wires are now work-
ing. His report confirms the same
rumor sent out earlier in the night.
General Anderson was captured by a
few men coming under a flag of truce.
He w’as enticed into the village by a
promise of safety and on turning the
corner he met the mob who took him to
the hall and produced a letter to hie
lieutenant which was an order for sur-
render of the stockade and fortress.
Though threatened with hanging he
steadily refused to sign the pager and
asked only that he be shot and his
grave marked, so that his family could
find it. He may be lynched.
The firing which lasted all last night
was desultory. The miners claim they
have killed five men and silenced the aetion to..be tak®n by }he 6remen at
fire of the howitzer, which is silent, but
probably to save ammunition.
At Ofi'uts General Carnes learned that
500 miners awaited him at Knapp’s
summit about one mile from Coal Creek
and three cattle guards were filled with
dynamite.
Hearing this he left the train and
went up on the side of Narrow valley
and is now within two miles of Coal
Creek waiting for daylight.
The Journal correspondent, knowing
the temper of the minersand the militia,
fears a bloody fight took place at day-
light.
THE POOL TOURNAMENT.
Last night’s game was played before a
large crowd of interested spectators at
the Electric club rooms. Laackman
and Asher were pitted in the first round.
The letter is a very graceful player,
while the former ia an expert on ranch
eggs and spring chickens, but when it
comes to pool playing Laackman showed
that billiard balls are like “hen fruit” in
his experienced hands. Time 25 min-
utes. Laackman 25 balls, Asher 22.
Pickens over-slept himself, and thus
forfeited what prospects he might have
had. It is ever thus with “Old 8i.”
The score now stands :
Laackman
Weber
McGuire..
Asher
Pickens....

30. The program will include Mrs. Mayo

evening at a nominal cost and help a
deserving cause as well.
The Grim Destroyer Suddenly Claims
Another Victim.
One of the brightest and most cbm-
panionable of the young men in Galves-
ton was Charles-1. Baumann, discount
clerk in the Island City Savings bank.
He counted his friends by the hundred
and knew of no enemies. All who knew
him were taken by his frank and open
countenance, his manly ways and social
qualities, and when last February he
suffered the loss of his wife the sympathy
that was extended to the young widower
was as heartfelt as it was spontaneous,
but few of his friends then dreamed that
they would- within six months be called
upon to witness the funeral of the
husband and father as well.
This is only another forcible demon-
stration of the uncertainty of life even
in the. early dawn of manhood and vigor.
Last night, after spending the evening at
the beach, Mr. Baumann stopped at the
residence of Mr. Moses Lewis, where a
child was lying sick with throat disease,
to offer some suggestions as to its
proper treatment. He began to feel un-
well in the head and stomach, and laid
down on a lounge to rest himself. The
people becoming alarmed sent for Dr.
Hadra, who arrived about 1 o’clock, but
failed to see any alarming symptoms.
His respiration and pulse were both
good and the doctor soon retired, only to
be called back a few moments later to
find him cold in death.
Dr. Hadra states that having made no
diagnosis of the case, and knowing of
no previous trouble, he is unable to as-
sign the cause which led to this sudden
taking off of a man apparently in the
prime of life and healthfulness,,but thinks
it must have been due to either of two
causes— abscess of brain or Bright’s dis-
ease of the kidneys.
Charles I. Bauman was a native of
New Orleans, about 34 years of age, and
came to Galveston some twenty years
ago. He first worked for Mr. I. Loven-
berg, when the latter kept a cigar and
tobacco store, and for twelve years was
employed as collector for the gas com-
pany. About a year ago he entered the
employ of the Island City savings bank
as discount clerk, in which capacity he
made hundreds of new friends and won
the esteem and confidence of his em-
ployers.
He leaves two children; His wife died
in the early part of the year.
Deceased was a member of Gulf City
council, No. 493, American Legion of
Honor, and will be buried from St.
Mary’s cathedral at 5 o’clock this
ing.

Governor Campbell’s Views.

Boston, Mass., Aug. 19.—Ex-Governor
Campbell of Ohio wTas in town yester-

politics, but expressed the opinion that
Ohio would go Republican. That

MOVES TRAINS WITH THE
GREATEST REGULARITY.
Galveston’s Climate Compared with That
of Other Cities.
It seems that it is impossible for the
mercury to climb higher than the 88th
notch in Galveston, but not so in the
**
state at large. Each day brings us re-
ports like this of yesterday :
Galveston •••• 88 Brenham 92
Corsicana 90 Columbia 90
Cuero 92 Dallas. ....... 90
Houston 90 Longview 92
Luling 90 Orange 93
Palestine 94 Weatherford •• • 92
Waco 92
South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana and, Arkansas Show Up
Badly—Texas Prospects More Favor-
able.
Southern Afternoon Press.
St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 19.—The Re-
public in its summary of weekly collec-
tion of specials on the condition of the
cotton crop says: There is shown a
slight improvement for the past week in
most sections. The exceptions are in
South Carolina, where the condition
is less favorable; in Louisiana, where a
combination of conditions last week has
given the crop a backset, and in Ala-
bama, where it is said never to have
been worse.
Texas gives promise of a big yield of
good quality. In South Carolina the
quality is below the standard for that
section. 0 Texas reports several new
bales, but South Carolina only one,
a week ago and in the Memphis district,
where by this time usually several bales
have shown up has none to report up
to date.
In fact the w’hole crop in most of that
territory is much later than usual,
though in the western sections the pros-
pects for a fair crop, with favoring con-
ditions until the end of the season, are
regarded as not at all unpromising.
The same is true of Arkansas, except
in isolated spots. Worms and rust are
not sufficiently numerous or prominent
to enter into calculations. 3 he area
planted is smaller than last year
but where the' prospects are
at all promising the opinion
seems general that the total yield will
be not much below that of 1891, picking
is mostly later or will be later than the

The Largest Cities in Texas as Shown
by the School Census.
Scholastic censuses are generally taken
with much care, the work being done by
men who are well acquainted in their
respective localities. There are no polit-
ical ends to be subserved, no friends to
reward or enemies to punish by incor-
rect returns, hence they may be regarded
as more reliable than decennial census
which is taken under the direct super-
vision of officials appointed by the
federal government.
Superintendent Carlisle has just made
public the returns of the scholastic
census taken in the various counties,
cities and towns of this state for the
year beginning with September 1, 1892,
on which the apportionment of school
funds will be based by the comptroller.
These tables form an interesting study
and in a large measure serve to solve
the much mooted question in regard to
the largest cities in Texas.
Taking the total school population in
each as a basis, the cities having over
1000 children of school age are found to
be twenty-three and to range in the fol-
lowingorder :
Sau Antouio 11,203
Galveston 8,943
Dallas 7,545
Houston 7,054
Austin 4,894
Waco 3,705
Fort Worth 3,239
Laredo 2,638
Paris 2,374
Denison 2,150
Sherma’i 1,013
Brownsville 1,899
The entire scholastic population be-
tween 8 and 16 years of age is 605,459,
That no one should slwut until he is
out of the woods;
That Texas democracy has now two
captains;
That everything not Republican is
“Democratic” in Texas;
That how the loaves and fishes will
be divided is what no feller can now find
out;
That the only way to tell is by ascer-
taining ;
That you cannot tell how fast a 1
will run until you have tested his
speed;
That E T. having secured the nomi-
nation of both its candidates, it will pro-
ceed to proceed;
That Tyler ought to feel proud of its
reign;
That the way to bridle a hog is to
hitch a rope to its hind leg;
That echoes from those conventions
are still reverberating throughout the
land:
That - a nomination is not an election
this year in Texas;
That if the candidates in Texas were
melted in one pan and cast in a single
mold the newborn would be as varie-
gated as Jacob’s coat; -
That all old Texans are fond of bacon
and greens;
That they
kind;
