State to the Federal Court.
In the United States court yesterday the
transcripts in the two suits removed from
Galveston District court to the federal

ceived by her son from a live trolley
wire; the other is the suit of the son Mat-
thew, by his next friend, Georgia Falvey,

Five large, fountains, the last of the
Henry Rosenbeig; bequest of 17 to the city
of Galveston, arrived from New York this
morning on the steamship San Marcos.
The huge blocks of granite and marble
are crated in dozens of different pieces
and as fast as they are taken from the
ship are carried on large drays by Con-
tractor Ed Ketchum to- the various places
designated for their reception. Mr. Coote
is here superintending the erection of the
fountains for Mr. J. Massey Rhind, the
New York sculptor, and will push the
work rapidly.
Naturally, being in so many different
sections, it is impossible to obtain an ade-
quate idea of the deseign of the fountains,
but from the photographic designs-, their
beauty is apparent, looking rather to the
chaste than ornate in model, and thus ex-
emplifying the simplicity of the method
of life of Galveston's great benefactor—
Henry Rosenberg.

Claims Crop and Farm Were Damaged by
an Incomplete Ditch.
Mrs. Floria Roussfr: and her husband,
G. C. Roussell, have brought suit in the
district court against Galveston county
for $1125 damages.
In her petition Mrs. Roussel sets forth
that she is the owner of 50 acres of land
in Arcadia and that on or about March
25, 1898, she had in cultivation and vigorous
growth three acres of strawberries, one
acre of blackberries .and two acres of po-
tatoes. In January qr February the com-
missioners’ court ordered the digging of a
drainage ditch intended to drain the
prairie from Algoa to- Arcadia and empty-
ing into Runge’s ditch”'On or about the
5th of February the ditch was completed
to plaintiff’s property and then the county
stopped work. Plaintiff requested Super-
intendent of Roads and Bridges Reed
and Commissioner B. F. Johnson to have
the ditch continued to Runge’s ditch, but
although they promised verbally and in
writing they failed to do so. Plaintiff
says she explained to them that should a
heavy rain set in, as is usual at that time
of year, the uncompleted ditch would car-
ry the water from the lands it passed
through and overflow plaintiff’s property.
She alleges that on or about April 12 or
13 very heavy rains set in, the uncom-
pleted ditch conveyed large volumes of
water down to and upon her 50 acre farm
and the water submerged all her farm.
The water stood for seven weeks to a
depth of six or eight inches on nearly all
her land. She claims the overflow was

THE LA PbRTE.
The Associated PrOsbj’dispatches quote
the Kansas City JoutitaX as saying:
“Kansas City is 'to/'hbve another trunk
line. Within a yes^r l^e’Eralveston, Hous-
ton and Kansas City road will be running
into this city. Part of 'the road has al-
ready been built, 'most of the rights of
way surveyed and L. J. Smith of this city,
promoter of the enterprise, has left for
New York to complete arrangements for
beginning constructipbri bn the remainder
of the road. The nuefeus of this line is the
Galveston, La Porte' and Houston rail-
road with a mileage‘6fI!§7 miles.”
The Houston Post, in, Commenting upon
this, says:
“The foregoing telegram will be read
with the greatest interest in Houston and
throughout this section generally, and will
give a coloring of truth to the rumored
deal which states that the Texas Western
is now under the control of the parties
who stood behind Mr. Smith when he
recently purchased the La Porte. It will
also furnish what was not hitherto cred-
ited to Mr. Smith—namely, a very potent
explanation of the action which prompted
him to bid at the late sale. With the La.
Porte in the possession of his principals,
the Texas Western and its franchises
practically secured, and capitalists ready
to put up funds for an extension of the
road to Kansas City, the enterprise pre-
sents entirely new features, and suggests
that Mr. Smith knew a good deal more
about the business he was engaged in
than the fellows on the outside.
“If the promoters of the proposed Gal-
veston, Houston and Kansas City railroad
have the ability and the will of doing what
is outlined in the above Associated Press
dispatch! if they have or can acquire the
ownership of the Texas Western franchise
and extend the road on the lines men-
tioned, the purchase of the La Porte by
Mr. Smith may turn out to be a far more
feasible investment than the average citi-
zen at first believed.”
At this end of the line it is impossible
to obtain any information which could
cast a reliable light, upon the situation,
as Mr. Smith is not here and even while
in the city let out but little knowledge of
his plans.
In regard to the rumor which has been
circulated for two or three days past con-
cerning the alleged action of the South-
ern Pacific company in notifying the La
Porte that they would cease to grant them
terminal facilities at Houston, it is under-
stood that this was in a measure true and
due to the La Porte being several months
behind in its rental of the Southern Pa-
cific tracks at Houston. It is now under-
stood that the road paid up or made ar-
rangements for the rental and the South-
ern Pacific rescinded its order, though it
is liable to be again issued at any moment,
unless more permanent arrangements are
entered into with the new purchasers.

Washington, D. C., Oct. 13.—Lieut. Col.
Hoff was before the war investigation
commission at the forenoon session today.
He is a regular army officer and was
chief surgeon of the Third army corps at
Camp Thomas, Chickamauga park. He
said he did not consider that the camp
had been in the best sanitary condition,
but expressed the opinion that it was the
best it could be under the circumstances.
due to the negligence of the county’s
agents, Superintenden.'t Reed -and Com-
missioner Johnson, and that in ruined
crops and soured land she has been dam-
aged to the extent of $1125.
A large number of witnesses are to be
subpoaened, among them 'C. H. Evans and
Joseph Franks of Alvin, B. F. Johnson,
D. D. (Hill, Dr. J. M. Stephens, S. A.
Franks, R. R. Chamlberlain and F. Laret
of Arcadia and Rev. T. H Patterson and
C. A. El-men of Houston.
Mrs. Roussel put in a claim to- the com-
missioners’ court, bpt it was not allowed.
THE TRICK STILL WINS.
Big prices for cheap, shoddy Pianos are
paid right along, and by people, too, who
should know, better. There are Pianos
made totally devoid of the necessary re-
quirements of even decent instruments,
musically speaking; their merits are at-
tractive cases.
We sell only reliable Pianos and our
guarantee is absolute protection to buyers.

'The United iStates Will Have Possession
of Porto Rico 'Oct. IS.
Washington, D. C., Oct, 13.—The follow-
ing cablegram has been received by the
war department:
“San Juan, Porto Rico, Oct. 12.— Secre-
tary War; Washington: The United
States commission -informed the Spanish
commission that the United States ex-
pects to have complete possession of Porto
Rico Oct. 18. The Spanish commission as-
sent to this and say the expected evacua-
tion will be complete on or 'before that
day. If not, they will concede possession
to the United States. 'The commission, has
practically completed the details of the
evacuation and the joint commission held
its last session and adjourned without
day. The United States troops .will be
placed, at San Juan and the flag hoisted at
noon, Oct. 18. BROOKE,
“Major General.”'
This dispatch is very gratifying to- the
war department officials, as it ends all
contention regarding the possession of
Porto Rico. The details of the agreement
reached by the commissioners has not been
received at the war department, bi^ as
the negotiations seem to have progressed
smoothly, it is supposed the instructions
of the administration to the ■ commission
have been carried out.
