Washington, D. C., Feb. 10.—The desk
of Mr. Crain of Texas, who died early
this morning, was draped heavily with
black, when the house reconvened at
10.30, after a recess over .Sunday. On the
desk lay a beautiful bunch of white hya-
cinths, lillies of the valley and roses.
Mr. Grain was serving 'his 'Sixth term
in the house, and his death was a shock
to his colleagues, many of whom did not
know he was ill.
Mr. Sayers (Dem.) of Texas made a
formal announcement of the death of hi.s
colleague, and offered the usual resolu-
tion, which was unanimously adopted,
and a committee was appointed to- ac-
company the body to Texas, after which,
at 12.14, the house, as a further mark of
respect, adjourned until tomorrow.

A BOTTLE OF LAUDANUM.
Fred Potthoff Takes the Drug in a Fit
of Despondency.
Fred Potthoff of 1314 L, took a bottle
of laudanum today- about 2 o’clock.
To a Tribune reporter Mrs. Potthoff
said that 'her husband, who is a waiter
on night duly at Kreuger’s restaurant,
had been troubled a great deal lately on
account of sickness in the family, and
had added t> 'his troubles by drinking,
during which times his companions
robbed 'him.
He came home about 12 o’clock today
and asked her to fix him a tdddy. She
noticed that he had a bottle, the con-
tents of which he started ■ to empty into
the glass. She aisked what it was, and
he said, “Oh, nothing,” and tried to hide
it behind him. She discovered by the
smell that it was laudanum.
She took it away from him, whereupon
he said that he would get another bottle.
He Tvent to town and did as he had
threatened without her knowledge. “I
was powerless to prevent him from so
doing,” said Mrs. Potthoff, crying. “I
know of no cause for his act other
than drink and sickness.”
Two physicians were called in, and
Potthoff is in a fair way to recovery.

Where we cannot invent, we may at
least improve; we can give somewhat of
novelty to that which was old, condensa-
tion to that which was diffuse, perspicuity
to that which was obscure, and currency
to that which was recondite.—Colton.
Fortune is like the market, where many
times if you can stay a little the price will
fall; and, again, it is sometimes like a
sibyl’s offer, which at first offereth the
commodity at full, then consumeth part
and part, and still holdeth up the price.—
Bacon.
Accustom yourself to submit on every
occasion to a small present evil, to ob
tain a greater distant good. This will
give decision, tone and energy to the mind,
which, thus disciplined, will often reap
victory from defeat, honor from repulse.—
Colton.
The “Record Breaker”
A pretty idea was recently suggested
In an English magazine. It was to make
a Shakesp&reah garden. That is, dur-
ing the winter to make note of the flow-
ers mentioned in Shakespeare and in
the spring to try to grow them. For
American children it would be wise
to begin such a delightful pastime with
an American poet, such as Longfellow,
Whittier, Holmes or Bryant. The Auto-
crat tells in his inimitable way of the
confusion produced in the mihds of Am-
erican children who read mostly Eng-
lish books in which “one found cow-
slips in the fields, while what we saw
were buttercups; where there were larks
and nightingales instead of yellow birds
and bobolinks; where the robin was a
little domestic bird that fed at the table
instead of a great fidgity, jerky, whoop-
ing thrush.” So get out your books,
girls, and take notes for the spring which
will soon be here,

GENERAL JOHN GIBBON.
Washington D. C., Feb. 10. — The
secretary of war has made the following
official announcement of General John
Gibbon at Baltimore last week.
“War Department, Washington, D. C.,
Feb. 8, 1896: The death at Baltimore,
Md., on the afternoon of Thursday, the
6th of February, of Brevet Major-general
John Gibbons, brigadier-general, is am
nounced to the army. As cadet and com-
missioned officer he had served his coun-
try well for over half a century. In the
late war, as commander of the noted
Iron Brigade of the Army of the Poto'
mac, whose fame and name came to it
upon its battlefields, he early gained dis-
tinction. Subsequently, as a corps com-
mander, he served until Appomattox
closed the conflict. He was wounded at
Fredericksburg, at Gettysburg and after
the civil war was wounded at Mineral
Ridge, Mont. He continued in active
service until, under the limitation of age,
he passed to the retired list. His remains
will be interred at the national cemetery
at Arlington on Monday, the 10th of Feb-
ruary, with military honors due his rank
as. a genral officer.
“ Daniel S. Lamont,
“Secretary of War.
“By command of Major-General Miles.
“ George B. Ruggles,

The first matter taken, up at the regu-
lar quarterly meeting of the commission-
ers’ court today, was the drainage ques-
tion, the several petitions laid over from
the previous meeting being 'called up on
Mr. Reyder’s motion to grant the peti-
tion.
In response to a question as to how the
money was to be raised, Colonel R. T.
Wheeler explained that the contractor
would have to await the collection of as-
sessments. He further explained that
these were “assessments,” not “taxes,”
and that the people owning International
and Great Northern lands would waive
their exemptions from taxation.
Mr.. Reyder renewed his motion that
juries of view be appointed, each to se-
lect an engineer to locate the ditches.
Carried.
The following juries were appointed,
for both Arcadia districts; P. E. Peers,
L. V. Elder and H. N. Lowry. For
Hitchcock district, P. E. Peers, L. V.
Elder and Julius Perthius.
A petition from citizens at League
City referring to the proposed bridge
across Clear creek, to' be built jointly by
Galveston and Harris counties, wa.s read.
This matter has been pending for over
a year, but the 'commissioners of the two
counties have never been able to get
together. The petitioner's ask that a
commission be appointed 'to push the
proposition.
Mr. Vidor explained that (the Galveston
'Commissioners were anxious to build the
bridge, but the Harris county commis-
sioners were evidently not so anxious.
A petition from citizens of League City
and Clear Creek, asking that the bridge
be built on the easlt side of the railroad,
and a protest from C. W. Wilkens were
read. A motion was passed to the effect
that the site be not changed from the
east side. The Harris county court will
be prodded by the citizen's Thursday.
The daughter of Emma De Lyon said
she understood the insane were to' be re-
moved to the county farm. She didn’t
want her mother ta go to the farm, and
she hoped they would release her. The
patient will be kept at. the jail. Lula
Harris asked for a renewal of her do-
nation, and suggested that her boy was
“getting to be a right smart chap,’ ’and
as.soon as he got a little larger he ought
to be put to work for the county in clean-
ing up its offices. She was granted $5 per
month for six months.
Petition of A. B. Befftel for reduction
in assessment was granted. The petition
of t he Galveston Cement and Pipe works
was also granted on'affidavit.
The property of W. L. Moody, was not
rendered for 1895; the assessor reported
that, Colonel Moody desired his assess-
ment for 1896 tO' be''considered for 1895
also, that assessment being higher than
his rendition in 1894. The assessor was
instructed to procure an affidavit from-
Colonel Moody as to' the valuations for
1895. Several other petitions of a like
character were disposed of.
Mr. H. O. Shaw of Bolivar asked’ the
court to take up the ferry matter. He
asked them to consider that the Gulf
and Interstate, road was nearing com-
pletion and the settlement of the country
must follow.
Mr. Reyder said he thought the people
of Bolivar were as much entitled to com-
munication with the island as were those
of the mainland. He thought i't might
be best to have a ferry in connection with
the railroad.
Mr. Fred Koehler stated that people
in his settlement who owned property
on Bolivar point couldn’t get to it.
He was interrupted by Mr. Vidor, who
said he didn’t care 'to listen to the gen-
tleman unless he came with a proper peti-
tion.
Mr. Koehler replied that he was a citi-
zen of Galveston county and thought he
was entitled to be heard. He said that
he had been transferred on a free ferrj
in Fort Bend county.
Judge Lockhart read from article 1514,
revised statutes, defining the duties oi
the commissioners’ court.
Mr. Vidor said he thought ferrying
over a river was entirely different from
a ferry to Bolivar. It would cost $20,000
to $50,000 to provide a proper boat, and
$1000 a month to maintain it.
Judge Lockhart thought these people
were entitled to some consideration.
Mr. Bailey moved that a committee be
appointed to investigate and report upon,
the matter at next term of court, and
upon suggestion of Mr. Vidor, to ascer-
tain where the money was to come from.
Carried.
Judge Lockhart appointed Vidor, Bai-
ley and Reyder. Mr. Vidor asked to be
left off, but it was insisted that he serve.
Mr. Westelage was added to the commit-
tee.
(Salaries were ordered paid and the
court adjourned until tomorrow at noon.
