of the alleged fight, which was set for
November, has been changed to June,
1894—nearly a year off. It is said that
the gentleman-actor-pugilist pleaded the
baby act. He had been driven to des-
peration, he said, by taunts of enemies
that he was afraid of Peter, and was un-
able to control himself when Pareon
Davies made some insinuating remark
at the fight Monday evening. The pub-

A resolution was passed that notice be
given through Evening Tribune and
the Galveston News that no bills against
the county will be paid unless accompa-

Hanscom.
Various bills were audited and ordered
paid.
On motion of Commissioner Vidor the
building committee was instructed to
employ Architect Clayton to inspect the
cage at the county jail and report to the
board the probable cost of remedying
the defects. It is said the cage is sink-

The court then adjourned until the

Part of the excitement that prevails is
due to the fact that a negro was
arrested at Milan, Tennessee, yesterday,
and it is rumored that he will prove to
be Miller’s partner and will be brought
back.
There is conclusive evidence here now
that Miller was the man wanted in

He Has Not Been Thinking About Of-
ficial Matters.
Colonel George P. Finlay returned
from Sour Lake this morning and was
seen by Evening Tribune young man.
The colonel said:
“I have not been thinking about of-
ficial matters since I went away. I went
to Sour Lake for a rest and I did not
allow anything to bother me.
“No, eir, I am not prepared to give out
any appointments, except one. Charlie
Clifford will be my cashier, and beyond
that I am not willing to give out any
names.
“Well, the public may know more
about it than I do, but I have not told
P. S. Wren, or any one, that I would ap-
point him chief deputy. No, I am not
yet prepared to say that I will or will
not appoint him.
“I have a number of friends to look
out for outside of Galveston, and I am
- • - - . - last night between George LaBlanche,
I have just written a letter to a friend in
* the country tendering him one of two
positions, but I do not know whether or
not he will accept either.
“I expect my papers will be here
within the next day or so, and I will
take charge of the office soon after their
arrival.”
Mrs. Finlay walked into the colonel’s
office just at this moment, and the in-
terview ended.

Interior Merchants — Over Twelve

Good Results Expected.
The Galveston Board of Trade is an
organization that has quietly been doing
the city a great amount of good. It was
organized in the spring of 1892 and has
been working without any pretentions
for over a year, and has succeeded in
bringing a large number of interior
merchants to the city, who not only pur-
chase their goods here but generally
spend one or two days pleasure seeking
about the town.
Free transportation is furnished by
the Board of Trade to the merchants and
they are at liberty to purchase from
whom they please. Arrangements have
been made with the railroad companies
to accept orders for transportation,
signed by the manager of the board.

The Venerable Bishop Gregg Gathered
to His Fathers.
Austin, Tex., July 11.—Deid here last
night, at the Episcopal residence, Right
Rev. Alexander Gregg, bishop of the
diocese of the Episcopal church of
Texas.
Bishop Gregg was a native of South
Carolina, from whence he was ordained
to be bishop of the whole state of Texas
over thirty years ago. His long service
here has been associated with the his-
tory of the church of Texas, to which he
was in its earlier years truly a father in
God.
Of late years the good man has been
in very feeble health, attendant upon
old age, and last year an assistant
bishop, Right Rev. Herbert Kinsolving,
who will succeed to the episcopate, was
elected to assist him.
Bishop Gregg was also procter of the
university of the south at Sewanee,
Tenn., where he has of late years spent
much time. The funeral services will
take place today.

Forced to Assign.
Southern Afternoon Press.
Indianapolis, Ind., July 12. — The
Terre Haute car works assigned yester-
day to Henry J. Baker of this city. It
employs 900 men and did an annual
business of $3,000,000. Inability to re-
alize upon gilt-edge securities because of
the severe stringency in the money mar-
ket is the cause of the assignment. Lia-
bilities $191,165.30, and over contingent
liabilities $84,487.91. Assets nearly $600,-
000, or 3 to 1 for the liabilities. Permis-
sion to resume work will be asked im-
mediately. _________________

LaBlanche agreed to stop Manning in
fifteen rounds with large gloves. The
first three rounds were very cautious,
but the next three rounds were liyely.
In the last round they were punching
each other lively, when the police put a
stop to the fight.
DON’T FAIL TO ATTEND.
An effort is being made to organize in
this city a grain and produce exchange.
Such an organization is certainly much

others interested directly or indirectly
in the establishment of such an ex-
change, will attend the meeting called
for 4:30 this afternoon at the office of
the Galveston export commission com-
pany, corner of Strand and Twenty-first

Squatters on Panama Canal Claims De-
cline to Move.
Southern Afternoon Press.
Panama, Columbia, July 12.—The at-
tempt of M. Manges, who represents
the liquidator of the Panama Canal
company, to dispossess “squatters” on
lands between Panama and Colon,
which were claimed to be included in
concessions to the canal company has
caused great excitement and his action
is the subject of some interesting corre-
spondence with the government of Col-
umbia. In the village of Gorgona the
canal agent has notified the entire popu-
lation, including the local judge and
mayor, to move out.
These officials appealed to the gov-
ernor of Panama, and the governor de-
clared that M. Manges has no right to
evict the “squatters” on lands in Gor-
gona on the ground that the property
had never been formally demanded by
the company for the use of the canal.
Columbian Commission's Views.

Chicago, HL, July 12.—By a vote of

the following resolution at the afternoon
session:
Resolved, that the ruling enforced by
the World’s Columbian exposition for
the purpose of opening the gates of the
exposition Sunday is not approved by
commission and is in violation of the
rule jointly adopted and promulgated by
said exposition and said commission,
and being enforced without the assent or
authority of the World’s Columbian
commission.

The ruins were still unexplored last
night, but the full extent of the disaster
was not known. The coroner did noth-
ing.
In all thirteen bodies were removed
from the ruins. Besides these three
firemen died at the hospital.
The point near the smoke stack where
many unfortunates were seen to jump is
covered with a tangled mass of steam-
pipes and charred timbers fully twenty
feet high. The work of removing this
did not progress much today as this spot
could not be reached.
It is now definitely known that a num-
ber of workmen employed in the build-
ing ascended the fatal tower with the
firemen, and how many were lost no
one knows. The last seen of R. A.
Drummond was when he, with three or
four other workmen, was on the way up
the tower with fire extinguishers. Be-
fore they could reach the top the whole
mass toppled over.
Another name will probably be added
to the list of the dead, whose bodies are
charred beyond recognition.
The latest report of the missing indi-
cates that Robert Blenhuber, a Mar-
quette capitalist, is among the number.
Benhuber was specially interested in
cold storage plants and wbb planning an
investment. Monday a. m. he left a
friend, telling him he should spend the
day inspecting the cold storage pavillion.
Hie trip probably took him into the
least accessible part of the building and
not hearing from him since the fire, his
friends conclud j that he was caught in
the big fire trap.

bruises were sustained but no
bones were broken and the
injured woman was conveyed to her
home a short time after the accident oc-
curred. __________________

The London Stock Market is Flat and
American Railway Securities Went
Down With a Rush—The Condition in
New York—Cotton Outlook.
Southern Afternoon Press.
London, July 12—The tone of the
stock market is flat and there is consid-
erable excitement. There have been
declines ranging from X UP in Ameri-
can railroad securities. The greatest
fall was in Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul. Weakness in these securities has
affected the whole market.
It is stated that several bankers are
in a critical situation, due in a large
measure to the baseless rumores cabled
to London from New York regarding
a number of large English houses,
concerning the soundness of which
no doubt is entertained here.

The Chamberlin Failure.
The effect of the failure of the Cham-
berlin Investment company at Denver,
Colo., will be felt at several points in
Texas, especially at San Antonio and
Fort Worth. At the former place this
company was behind the West End, a
suburb enterprise, and at Fort Worth
the Arlington Heights suburbs was in-
augurated and sustained by the same
company. This company was interested
in real estate in other portions of the
state. Of the Fort Worth end of the en-
terprise Secrelary Winthrop says: “It
will be of interest to the people of Fort
Worth to know that while the tempo-
rary assignment of the Chamberlin In-
vestment company is to be regretted, it
will not seriously affect the companies in
which the Chamberlin Investment Co.
is interested at Fort Worth. Reference
is made to the Fort Worth and Arling-
ton Heights Land and Investment com-
pany, who is the owner of Arlington
Heights, the Fort Worth and Arlington
Heights Street Railway company, the
Fort Worth and Arlington Heights
Hotel company, the Arlington Heights
Electric Light company and the Arling-
ton Heights Water company. All these
companies are separate and distinct cor-'
porations and the only connection the
Chamberlain Investment company has
with them is as stockholders.”
Justice Blatchford’s Funeral.
The funeral of the late Associate Jus-
tice Blatchford of the United States su-
preme court took place at Newport, R.
I., yesterday afternoon. All Saints’
chapel was the scene of the ceremony.
The plain little chapel was crowded,
while the streets around were filled with
people and carriages. The remains were
inclosed in a black broadcloth casket
with heavy silver trimmings. The floral
pieces were numerous and costly. The
services were conducted by Rt. Rev.
Bishop Potter, a relative. After the
services the remains were taken to New
York, where the burial will take p’ace
today at Greenwood cemetery. Chief
Justice Fuller and other members of
the supreme court attended the services.
A Strange Affliction.
In the person of Peter Phillips, a col-
ored man, perhaps 40 years o:d, McDade,
Tex., has one of the greatest curiosities
in the world. He has not spoken a word
in any town or at any public gathering
in twelve or fifteen years. He is a hard
worker, has plenty of sense and is in
very good circumstances. On meeting
him less than a mile from town some
days ago he informed your correspond-
ent in as plain words as any man can
speak that his power of speech ceased
on entering town; the reason for thia he
is unable to explain. He is not dumb,
but laughs and grunts as loud as others
laugh and talk. People that are well ac-
quainted with him can understand this
curious noise well enough to trade and
attend to other business with him. This
is not fiction, but actual fact, as hun-
dreds of people here can testify.
Commodore Miller’s Fate.
It is now reasonably certain that the
negro man lynched in Kentucky for the
horrible murder of two gills near Bard-
well, in that state, is the notorious Com-
modore Miller, who was the perpetrator
of so many crimes at Dallas and who
last fall escaped from the county chain
gang, having first disabled and disarmed
his guards. He was pursued with blood-
hounds and an armed posse, but suc-
ceeded in effecting his escape. Miller
was a fiend, who more than merited the
•death he received, and the news that he
has been finally dispatched will be wel-
come intelligence to Texas people.
Scalpers in Texas.
The genus homo, the Texas scalper,
does not like the law passed by the last
legislature which was intended to make
the scalper walk the plank in Texas, and
the scalper has provided himself with
plenty of means with which to test the
constitutionality of the law. The object
will be to prove that the scalper’s busi-
ness is a positive blessing to the human
race; a protection to the poor
against what some great modern
; Texas statesmen style “the rapacity of
J of the railroads.” After reading all of

GALVESTON, TEXAS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 12, 1893.
awmagMBgawMWBinwi ’n iiininwwi m
j these pamphlets one is led to the con-
clusion that the business of scalping
tickets is the one pure and undefiled
profession on earth today. And some of
those railroads that have gone in for an
enforcement of the anti-scalp, law are
going to smell something remarkably
like brimstone before the fight is over,
say the scalpers. Some of the roads are
holding off. They recognize the uses of
a scalper. They can sell cut-rate tickets
to the scalper when they are
afraid to do so over their own
counters. Thus they get the credit 1
for maintaining rates and the scalper 1
gets the credit for the monkey-work. So ,
the scalper is useful and all hands make ,
money. This phase of the ticket busi-
ness has received close attention since '
the World’s fair rates began to go on the
rocks. One big railroad has been open- I
ly charged with having an underground
wire to a lot of scalping establishments j
and through that source, it is said, has
been systematically cutting the Chicago
rate from $25 to $22. That company has
as yet issued no circulars to its agents I
regarding the enforcement of the law. i
The Santa Fe, the Texas and Pacific .
and the Houston and Texas Central are
the people the scalpers are after. Those
J
roads are accused of aiding and abetting
the passage of the anti-scalp law.
A French Volcano.
« As noted in “Current News” recently
the French capital is a threatening vol-
cano—and all on account of those
naughty students and their nude in art. ’
The situation is chaotic and no one can
prophesy what the physical outcome
will be. Nothing in years before com-
pares with the violent and incendiary
talk. It is all political now and this
talk is directed against the government,
which is denounced as vacillating, and
is called upon to resign. Leaders of
labor and socialist movements claim
450,000 men ready to join in a general !
striae when ordered and who will take
up arms in defense of the liberties which 1
the present government has attacked.
And all this in the face of the statement
of the Denver News that France en joys a
double money standard and her people
are contented and happy.
A New Kvrning' Paper.
-The Evening Star publishing company
of Dallas, Yexas, with an authorized
capital of $20,000, has received a charter.
Incorporators, R. M. Hudson, O. E.
Gilbert, A. J. Wilson and C. E. Hill.
The purpose of the incorporation is to
publish an afternoon paper in Dallas.
Mr. Gilbert, one of the incorporators,
was the founder of the Herald as an af-
ternoon paper and published the con-
solidated paper until recently, when
the property was sold out by a receiver.
The chances are that the new candidate
for public favor will make it interesting
for the Times-Herald’s new manage-
ment. It certainly will if the new man-
agement does not make a better showing
than has been made to date.
Bri f Mention.
Mrs. C. H. Vanartsdale and Mary
Hoaefelt were burned to death at Bea-
trice, Neb. Gasoline.
A member of the British parliament
named John Deasy was yesterday con-
victed of indecent assault upon a 16-
year-old servant girl and fined £25 and
costs.
The British schooner Mystery arrived
at Philadelphia and reported four deaths
from yellow fever. The disease made
its appearance when the vessel was in
midocean.
The body of Bishop Alexander Gregg
of Austin, who died in that city Monday
night, was taken to South Carolina for
interment. Deceased was 74 years of
age and had been a bishop thirty-four
years.
The striking miners at Pittsburg,
Kas., refused the compromise offered by
the employers. Evictions are being made
of miners’ families from the company’s

One Hundred and Ten Persons Eat Poi-
sonous Cheese—Several Will Die.
Southern Afternoon Press.
Mansfield, O., July 12.—The case of
wholesale poisoning by the eating of
cheese in this city is much worse than
wae at first supposed. Nearly every
person in the twenty-five families who
purchased and eat of the cheese is now
afflicted, and for twelve of the victims
there is very slight hope of recovery.
One hundred and ten persons sampled
the cheese, which was manufactured
near this city. Nine doctors, together
with the coroner, are in charge of the
afflicted, and although no deaths are yet
reported, several persons are expected to
die hourly. '______________

The engine and c tboose were chained

z To Get Another Job.
Southern Afternoon Press.
Paris, July 12.—M. Loze, ex-prefect
of police, who tendered his resignation
on the ground that the government in-
tended to make a scapegoat of him in
connection with the rioting here last
week, has received semi-official notifica-
tion that he is to be appointed French
