after the printing for the fair. This fair

Eleventh Ward Meeting.
The Eleventh ward club held a meet-
ing last night at its club room on
Fourteenth and M. There were about
sixty or seventy members present. The
club had previously indorsed Dr. A.
W. Fly for mayor and aidermen at
large.
Mr. J. C. Kelso the chairman of the
club stated that it would be in order to
hear from candidates. Captain James
McDonald made a few remarks and was
followed by Paul Greutzmacher.
Colonel Gresham addressed the gather-
ing and told the boys if at any time he
could be of service to them to let him
know. He closed by thanking the club
for their support in aiding in electing
him to congress. The club adjourned to
meet Saturday night.

the duties of the board of health and the
reply of the contractor, to the notice of
the city auditor, that a certain amount
of money, due him on the sand filling
contract, would be retained by the
city, to make up to the laborers the
difference between $1.50 and $2 a day.
The contractor protested against any
money being retained. He said the con-
tract had been made and approved by
tbe council and they (the contractors)
were fulfilling their part of it.
Leon Blum thought it very strange
that this matter should come up just at
this time. He wanted to know how
long it had been going on, but the clerk
could not inform him.
Dr. Fly asked when the contract was
dated, and when the instrument was
produced it was found to bear the date of
August 10, 1892. There was also
another contract for sand filling dated
February, 1893.
After the reading of the contracts Dr.

Jules Biron was elected secretary. The
candidates for aiderman of the ward—
T. W. Jackson and George J. Garthar
addressed the meeting in the interest
of their candidacy.
John Dwyer submitted the labor plat-

Danish Consul Thygge Sogard, who
has been in the city several days inves-
tigating the port facilities of Galveston,
left for Kansas City last night.
1 Mr. Sogard was seen by Evening
Tribune young man yesterday and
asked what he thought of Galveston.
“I am very favoiably impressed with
the city,” said the consul.
“The first thing that struck me was
the fine residences and buildings. I do
do not think I ever saw a city the size
of Galveston which had more handsome
and elaborate residences than they have
here.
“I am not prepared to say what I
think about Galveston’s harbor. I am
not a civil engineer and can not express
an intelligent opinion on this matter just
at present. .
“I have thoroughly investigated the
jetties. I do not mean that I have sim-
ply rode out to them—but I have sailed
all around them and went out into the
gulf and in my opinion there is no doubt
but they will do what they are expected
to do.
“What I base my opinion on more
than anything else is the fact that the
best engineers in the United States have
said deep water could be obtained here
and they surely understand their busi-
ness.
“In my native country the profession
of a civil engineer is regarded as being
at the head of all professions, and the
engineers of the United States govern-
ment are considered the most important
office.-s in the employ of the govern-
ment.
“I remember a fellow countryman
came to this country a few years ago.
He was considered one of the best engi-
neers in Copenhagen. Shortly after
his arrival here he was admitted to
membership in the Civil Engineers’ as-
A Barry Meeting.
There was a meeting last night of the
supporters of Pat Barry at Wurzlow’s
gat den for the purpose of dis cussing the
issues of the approaching municipal
election. There were about seventy-
five people present, including many sup-
porters of other candidates for mayor.
Wm. RAlton was elected chairman
and John Woods secretary. Calls were
made for Pete Callan, and that gentle-
man responded. He stated why the
people should vote for Barry for mayor,
and said he for one, intended to do it.
Tom Moore next addressed the meet-
ing. He confined himself to heaping
abuse upon Dr. Fly, but he evidently
did not make much of an impression on
the crowd judging from the amount of
applause he received.
Calls were then made for Pat Barry,
and that gentleman came forward. He
made a brief talk and retired.
The meeting then adjourned without
indorsing any one for mayor.
Arrangements are being made to hold
another meeting at Wurzlow’s garden,
probably to-morrow night.
SOGARD WELL PLEASED.' sociation and when the news went bark
home, they thought he had become one
of the greatest men on earth.
“If these jetties do the work they are
expected to do, Galveston will have the
finest harbor in the United States. But
deep water is not what Galveston heeds
so much just now. She has plenty of
water to transact twice the amount of
business at present. There are large
ships going over the bar every day. All
this port needs is more business. This
harbor is far ahead of New Orleans
and should have the business, and will
get it as soon as the western freight rate
is settled.
“I will say to you quietly that there is
no doubt but that Kansas City is favor-
ing the New Orleans port. I do not
know that they feel any more friendly
tow’ard them, but they undoubtedly get
better freight rates, both on imports and
exports. When Galveston gets lower
rail rates her business will increase.
“I am gathering up data and statis’ics
of business at this port and shall submit
it to my government with report. Of
course these matters do not go direct to
any steamship line, but to the govern-
ment.
“From my observations here I do not |
doubt but that a line of steamships will
be put in operation between Galveston
and Copenhagen. I hoped to be able to
have something done this fall, but I can
notvsay positively that we will be able to
reach any definite conclusion that soon.
“I am going to leave for Kansas City
this evening and will make out my re-
port and forward it to our government.
The report will be very favorable to Gal-
veston I assure you, for I believe this
city has a great future in store for her,

BE CAREFUL.
Two Aidermen Cannot Be Elected From
the Same Ward.
'Voters should be very careful next
Monday when they cast their ballots for
aidermen at large.
It should be remembered that two
candidates from the same ward can not
be elected, and a vote for two men in
the same "ward will not be counted for
either.
For instance: Paul Gruetzmacher and
J. E. Mason live in the same ward and
a vote for both of them will do no more
good than if neither had been voted for.
Citizens should bear this in mind and
use care in making up their tickets.
THEY WANTED TO SCRAP.
Politics are getting real hot and even
the usually mild mannered individual
who has but little to say is now boiling.
Yesterday at the corner of Sixteenth
and Broadway two advocates of respec-
tive candidates for mayor became en-
I gaged in conversation and in a short
time the interview became heated and
indications were favorable for a storm.
A number of people gathered near, ex-
pecting to see a fight, but in this they
were disoppointed. One of the willing
scrappers pulled a knife and prepared
himself for the fray, but friends ap-
I peared and the threatened war was
averted.
ABOUT MR. WREN.
“I see no reason why P. S. Wren will
| not be elected aiderman at large,” re-1
marked a voter to-day.
“Mr. Wren has held many positions
of trust and is a practical business man;
just the kind of a man to look after the
city’s interest in the council. The
voters of Galveston should lend a hand
in rolling up a big majority for Mr.
Wren.”
NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.
Last night a man whose name could
not be learned, while in bathing, had a
narrow escape from drowning.
The incident occurred in front
of the Pagoda bath house
and had it not been for the prompt
action on the part of the life savers at
the Pagoda the man would have been
drowned. He was rescued just as he
was going down for the last time.
PRETTY GOOD.
The following ticket for aidermen at
large was suggested by a Market street
business man: D. B. Henderson, P. S.
Wren, Judge George E. Mann and Paul
Shean.

Tue board of public works was called
together yesterday, afternoon, by the
mayor, to consider a complaint that was
alleged to have been made by some of
the employees of the man who has the
contract for street filling.
It was claimed the men were only re-
ceiving $1.50 for ten hours labor when
they should receive $2.00 for nine hours
work.
The following membrs of the board
were present: P. Doyle, Leon Blum, A.
W Fly, W. S. Griffin and City Engineer I Henderson and Judge
, would m0ke an excellent team together
r. F y asked the city clerk to read in the city council. Judge Mann is an
t o ^eeBtXonf th® c^a^®r Pre9Cribing able lawyer and would be of great value
to the city during the next two years.
His opinion on legal matters and the
position he would take on affairs of
financial importance would save the city-
many a dollar.

A joint meeting of the voters of the

night at the old theater, between
Twenty-eighth and Twenty ninth on
Market street.
There were about 300 people present
and the meeting was red hot for a
while.
Alf Payne was elected chairman and
George Bowden, secretary. Calls for
candidates were made and in response
to the invitation Dick Nelson addressed
the meeting in the interest of R. L.
Fulton.
A. R. Hopkins spoke next and an-
nounced at the start that he was in
favor of Dr. Fly. At the mention of
Fly’s name the crowd yelled for fully a
minute and it was evident that it was a
Fly crowd. At intervals during hie
speech the immense gathering yelled
for Fly and it was with great difficulty
that the chairman could preserve order.
At tbe conclusion of Mr. Hopkins speech
Dr. Fly was indorsed for mayor by ac-
clamation.
A Peculiar Case of Supposed Poisoning
at Clear Lake.
There was a supposed case of poison-
ing occurred at Clear lake, Sun-
day, which may result fatally. Vic
Dantin and a young girl whose name
could not be learned were the victims.
In the afternoon after eating a quantity
of berries both the young man and girl
became very sick, and every symptom
indicated that they had been poisoned.
Everything was done to relieve their
sufferings and they were brought to the
city and medical aid summoned. Both
parties are now very ill, but it is not
thought they will die.

RAILWAY SURGEONS.
Their Annual Convention to Be Held
Here Next Year.
The dispatch in the morning papers
from Omaha anouncing the fact that the
National Association of Railway Sur-
geons, some 1500 strong, now in conven-
tion at that place, will meet in Galves-
ton in 1894 is worthy of more considera-
tion than at first sight would appear,
When it is consider that these sur-
geons will be accompanied with their
families an idea can be formed of the
number of visitors Galveston may ex-
pect here upon the occasion of their next
re-union. Besides this, their national
order will represent nearly all the states
in the union, especially the great states
cf the west. Financially speaking, their
coming here means the leaving in our
midst of at least $15,000. Intellectually
speaking, their stay with us means a
scientific treat in store for us.
It will prove a splendid opportunity
for Galveston to reveal her charms to
the entire country and much credit
should be given to the gentlemen who
prevailed upon that body to attend here
next year.
It is customary, on such occasions, for
a formal reception and welcome to
such an assembly by the mayor of tbe
city visited and now in a strictly busi-
ness spirit may we ask the question who,
of all the condidates for mayor, would
be the most suitable one for such a duty.

This is only a single incident. It has
I been a notorious fact for days, wed
know both to the friends of Fly and
Barry, that certain police officers and
their friends, who are also well known,
have in their possession registration pa-
pers which they proposed to use on the
day of election for the purpose of defeat-
ing the express will of this people at the
polls.
CONCERNING MR. SHEAN.
Paul Shean is too well-known in Gal-
veston to be introduced. He has resided
here the greater part of his life and hia
friends are numbered by the legions.
He has announced himself as candidate
for aiderman at large.

DAN IS THE MAN.
Mr. Henderson Should Be Elected Al-
derman at Large.
“See here, young man,” said a promi-
nent cotton man this morning, “I want
you to help Dan Henderson out a little
in Evening Tribune. I have known
Dan ever since he came here, seventeen
years ago, and I know him to be a thor-
ough business man. He is regarded by
the cotton men around the Cutfon Ex-
change as one of the shrewdest business
men who congregate at that building.
I do not believe there is a man in the
exchange who will not support Mr.
Henderson for aiderman at large.
“I can assure you if Dan Henderson
is elected and there is anything wrong
with the books of the city, it will soon
come to light. If he was not one of the
best business men in the city, such firmy
as the American National bank, the
Lace Curtain factory, the Alton Land
and Colonization company, and the
Galveston Railroad company would not
elect him to office.
“I would like to see Dan Henderson
get into that council. If there is any-
thing wrong it won’t take him long to
find it out. If there is anything he
don’t know about book-keeping I would
like to know what it is.” ;

representation at the counting of the
ballots.
Colonel R, G. Street spoke in the in-
terest of Dr. Fly. He said : “I came here
for the purpose of representing Dr. Fly.
He should have representation at the
polls the sam'e as R. L. Fulton. I
urgently requested this representation
in the spirit of justice and fairness. All
the presiding officers have been appealed
to and representation has been given in |
all the wards except the Fourth, Fifth,
Sixth and Seventh.” Colonel Street
then asked the presiding officer of these
polls if he would not allow Dr. Fly
representation.
Henry Hubele, presiding officer of the
Fourth ward, said he had appointed a
representative of Dr. Fly, but he had
not heard whether or not he would ac-
cept.
R. B. Hawley said that Mr. Hawley
had not selected a Fly man. He said
that Mr. Hubele refused to allow them
the man selected by the Fly representa-
tives.
Douglas Matthews, presiding officer of
the Fifth ward, said that Dr. Fly had
sent in two names to select from and he I
refused to appoint either of these.
Mr. Matthews further stated that
when he appointed his judges he did not.
know how they stood on the election.
Mr. Wolston, presiding officer of the
Seventh ward, said he had appointed
one Fly man as clerk. He said there
were no political parties represented and I
he did not think anyone was entitled to
representation.
When Mr. Wolston had concluded
Mr. Street said: “I have listened to the
talk of the gentleman from the Fifth
ward, and it is all talk. We are here
seeking for assurances not only that the
election may be fair, but that this com-
mittee may be guaranteed that it is so.
This can only be secured by an open,
candid treatment of this matter, which
is not apparent from the attitude of
these judges.
By thia time a large crowd had con-
gregated in the aisle, and when Colonel
Street concluded he was greeted with
loud applause.
After this the presiding officers were
sworn in.
