KO EXAMINATION THIS MORNING.
Justice Breeding did uot examine Hubbard's
wife and Captain Levy this morning as to
the fhootlng of the German, Robert Blum, by
Mitchell Hubbard last Bunday night. Blum's
condition is so critical that the examination
intended to-day was postponed until either
death ensues or a recovery is announced by
Dr. R. Rutherford. It is probable that the
unfortunate old German will die, as signs of
mortification are said to be visible.

A RECORDER NEEDED.
It is evident to all personB who visit the
lower courts of the city that a recorder is
needed. The dismissal, without tine, of Scott,
is an argument in that direction. This negro,
when arrested, carried wrapped in a pocket-
handkerchief a well-loaded pistol, of the self-
cockiDg pattern. He was under the influence
of liquor at the time, and could have rolled
upon his back in tbe dust and killed men like
s terrier conld have killed rata turned from a
trap. Beside being drunk and carrying con-
cealed in a pocket handkerchief a death-deal-
ing weapon, he carried on his person a
letter from a convict at Huntaville, in-
structing him how to get him pardoned,
and also sending the kindest regards of a few
choice spirits in that institution, and also ask-
ing in a business-like way the cause of the con-
finement of a mutual friend, winding up the
sentence with the very significant query;
"Was it a watch?" Mayor Baker h not
charged with doing wrong, nor with a willful
qeglect of duty in his capacity as a city judge,
but it Is evident that he is too busy to examine
into cases that come before him. His duties as
mayor, with all its laborious work of presiding
at council meetings; bis performance of com-
mittee duties, with "power to act;"his Invest-
igation of the contracts of a fast-
growing city; bis attention to the bank
of which he is president; also his attentions to
the Insurance company of which he is presi-
dent; his necessary government of his large
estate and moneyed interests, and a multl
pliclty of other interests, would naturally
cause the old gentleman to pass lightly over
duties that are laden with suffering and
misery—but duties that are all important to
the citizens at large. The fact that the police
force is being increased proves that the crimi-
nal record shows an increase of crime, and an
Increase of crime is a strong argument that
a recorder should be put in power, and put
there by the voice of the people. This can
only be done by an amendment to the city
charter; and If the people will make it the
coming issue of the next legislative campaign,
the thing can be accomplished.
HATTER AND SUBORDINATES ARRESTED
Considerable excitement was caused by J.
L. Hatter having a b ard obstruction nailed
across Congress street, on the north side of
Travis street. After bio -king up the street at
this point, Mr. Hatter went to Milam street,
At the other side of the market-house, and or-
dered his subordinates, Alfred Jones and
Jbeeo Peacher, colored men, to place a barrier
at that point, but to leave an opening for job
wagons. While Mr. Hatter and his force were
busy at that end Uarshal Wlchman appeared
at the other end with O II cers Williams and
McCutcheon, and commenced active operation
by tearing away the barrier across Congress
street at that point. In a few minutes that
portion of tbe thoroughfare was opened and
the posse made a descent on the bold and
astonished Hatter. Tbe work done at the
Milam street end was ruthlessly torn away by
tbe officers and Mr. Hatter and the colored
men Preacher and Jones were started toward
the station-house with a large crowd following
In the rear. On reaching there all hands were
put under bonds for obstructing travel on a
public street and the time for an investigation
was placed at 10 o'clock to-morrow (Thursday)
morning.
It seemed to be a prevailing opinion among
those who witnessed tbe stoppage of travel on
Congress street, that Mr. Hatter and his
bondsmen were about to bring in an issue with
the city In the matter of its refusal to accept
the gravel work done in that block. Instead
of there being any such wild movement in
contemplation by Mr. Hatter, he was about to
fulfill tbe requirements of tbe city engineer,
and obstructed the street so as to expedite his
work and keep wagons from standing on that
portion of the street.
THE SHOT GUN POLICY.
The recent shot-gun disturbance In the
Fifth ward, and other criminal records, have
caused tbe Rev. C. H. Buchanan, pastor of the
Fifth Ward Methodist church, to write the
following letter, bearing the above caption.
Mr. Buchanan is a young and promising min-
ister. He is bold In his utterances, and signs
bis name to the document, showing that he is
In earnest in his endeavors to draw public
attention to tbe criminal condition of the city;
Houston, September 30.—To the Correspond-
ent of The News; There is seldom much
food to be expected from simply theorizing,
ut by discussing a subject you get people to
thinking. We need thought just now, and
cool, earnest thought on this subject.
The reports of this "shotgun policy " are be-
coming a shocking measure too common. In-
voluntarily one must aBk himself the question;
" What are we coming to, any way?" We
free Americans? We Houstonians? We proud
boast of the nineteenth century of enlighten-
ment? The facts of the day are things of
which we should be ashamed. We need to be
rebuked and shamed out of these dreadful
sinp. Within the last five or six days almost
as irany cases have been reported of men try-
ing to shoot each other down in their
tiacks. Is it not time for some one
to stop and think for himself and for the popu-
lace who will not think for themselves? Is a
man ever justifiable in deliberately takiug a
shotshot and bunting up a foe and shooting
blm down? No. Seldom, if ever, is it justifl-
able for a man to kill another in tbe so-callad
self-defense " Of course a man must protect
his own life; but h .w often it is the case that the
Bhooting is for self-protpction? How can two
men idioot at eneh other and both b» acting in
self-defense, as the pleB &oes? In ninety- nlue
cases out of the hundred tbe whole affair has
growu out of a quibble, a puerile difference,
with whisky at the bottom of it; or the deadly
insult has grown out of a mere misunderstand-
ing. When the insult is given somebody must
die. Is life fo trifling that it may be li^hily
flurg away, rather thin .-uffur the slightest iu-
2ury? Have men nothing to live for thsn to
ook out for the passinir insult, the assault
upon bis " good name," for which death i3 the
penalty? A man that is any mau at all does
not get insulted. For this reason: He would
Dot eo degrade himself as to be insulted by any
one who Is not himself n gentleman; but a gen-
tlemen will not insult you. If that maxim of
our fathers were the rulG of to-day, our
sl dailies" would be clearer of this abominal,
Shameful " criminal cnlendar "
Here lies the startling thought in the whole
procedure: The man who has laaped for his
gun and shot down the insulting antago-
nist, has immnrtalized himself in the public's
estimation. Instead of dreading and discoun-
tenancing such a man as we would a hyena, a
fletd in flesh, stamping blm with an unbeara-
ble stigma of "thht murderer," he is congrat-
ulateo, praised for his heroism, and i- wel-
comed to the " best" society. Gentlemen, the
moral status of to-day is dreartrullv oat of
joint. " Where are we gdng to?" li'rightno
Jot^e:- right simply because peop'ediscard it?
Buve we no higher standard of m >ral princi-
ple than the sjmnathies f the peop'.a? Noth-
ing higher than the approbation or disappro-
bation of a chosen few? Have man bst their
conscience? Lost the conception of right and
wrong? Lost all' appreciation of life? Lost
all conception of true manhood—all l'ear of
God Almighty?
Irreverent as it may appear, if it were pos-
sible for Deity to laugh. He must smile to Bee
two little splt-flres of mankind, fly furious,
foaming at the mouth, and in a moment bum
each other simultaneously into the impenetra-
ble unknown.
Again we Bay, shame! shame! shame! Re-
spectfully, C. H. Buchanan.
STUDE'S WOLF.
Blnce Stude's wolf has caused the shooting
of one man in Houston, may he not agaiu
figure in some disagreeable scene? Although
the ordinances may not prohibit the running
loose of wolves in the streets of the city, It
might be a very wise act In Mr. Stude to take
his wolf inside of his inclosures. Last night
this lank, lean and ungainly animal prowled
on Main street. It was adorned with a collar,
end as tbe electric light flashed on its eyes
they gleamed like balls of fire. If the authori-
ties permit wolves to run loose on the
streels, a man on Congress street, who owns
a daisy of a bear, may take a notion to turn
that animal loose during the night time. The
bear on Congress street is kept in a back yard,
and has made some bona fide efforts to climb
through aback window and fall on one of
Grunewald's grand pianos. A bear requires as
much city air and exercise as a wolf, and
should have the same privileges, as they both
belong to the howling and biting order of
ferocious animals. Stude's wolf should be at-
tended to or the Congress street bear should
have the same showing. Citizens must have a
fair deal in this municipality.
HOUSTON DETECTIVES IN AUSTIN.
The recent barbarous murders committed in
Austin bave sent a thrill of horror throughout
tbe whole State. The authorities of that fine
city have not been able to bring to the prison-
ers' dock the perpetrators, who seem to rival
Rand, the Illinois demon, and all men of that
ilk. The Noble Detective agency, of Houston,
now has the matter in hand and has succeeded
in arresting one of this gang of brutes, and it
Is now almost certain that the others will be
brought to tbe bar of justice. A man eating
shark at sea conld not bave more destructive
and bloody proclivities than these midnight
devilB of the capital.
SPECIAL SESSION.
Judge W. l:. Anders says that about the
15th of October he will call a special session of
the Commissioners Court for the purpose of
proving tbe assessor's rolls for Harris county.
CAPTAIN SAM S. ASHK.
Captain Sam 8. Ashe, tax-collector, after
being confined to his house for a long time
through a severe malarial attack, was out in a
carriage to day. Nearly every citizen knows
and admires Captain Sam Ashe. His recov-
ery is a matter of relief on all sides.
NEW POLICE FORCE.
This evening the police force was revised at
roll-call by Chief Charles Wlchman. It was
announced that the following policemen were
released from duty: W. T. McCutcheon, N.
Eva, Jonathan King, M. P. Buckley and
Henry Jones, colored. The following have
been accepted: McKeever, Perkins, R. A.
Rosenow, John S. Franne and John Gannon.
Two-morrow two more are to be added to the
list—one white and one colored. George W.
Pentecoste and Gush Arch are accepted as
stockmen to look after the interests of the city
pound. Tomorrow evening at roll-call
the new men will be sworn in and placed
upon their beats. A new and useful regula-
tion will go into effect with the swearing In of
tbe new men, all being compelled to wear a
uniform. While Mr. King's name is among
those left off of the revised list, it may be
rtmembered that his resignation was pub-
lished about two weeks ago. The force under
Charles Wichman is verv effective.
DAD'S GIRL AT PILLOT'S.
Lizzie May Ulmer played this afternoon at
the matinee at Pillot'a opera house to an ap-
preciative andience, composed almost entirely
of women and children. Dad'a Girl was pre-
sented. It was also reproduced to-night to a
good house. The new scenery showed to great
advantage.
THE STONEWALL BALL.

THE GALVESTON HISTRIONIC3.
Recently The News correspondent men-
tioned that tbe Celtic club, the only dramatic
organization in the city, was about to Invite
the Histrionics, of Galveston, to Houston to
present its master performance, Our Boys,
which was rendered at Tremont opera-house
recently, at the beneflt of the lamented Cap-
tain John Forshey. In conversation with
John Mclnnerney, the manager of the
Celtic club, he stated that the club had
not yet met for the fall season, but that their
first meetir g would be held next Sunday,when
the subject of inviting the Histrionics would
be the first order of business, Mr. Mclnnerney
is of tbe opinion that it would be a pleasure
for the Celtics to extend to the Histrionics an
invitation to play Our Boys in Houston.
Whatever action is taken by the Celtics next
Snnday will be published in the Bayou City
Locals of the Monday following.
AMATEUR THEATRICALS
The Celtic club will meet next Bunday at 12
o'clock, at tbe hall of St. John Total Absti-
nence society, to consider the subject of re-
hearsing tbe Colleen Bawn. This club Is com-
posed of excellent amateur talent. Last win-
ter it presented to tbe public Robert Emmet
with a neatness and effect that were approved
by all who witnessed it. This winter they will
no doubt present dramatic performances of
equal worth.
ST. JOHN SOCIETY.
The temperance rally, under the auspices of
St. John society, promises to be an important
affair. This being the leading total abstinence
society of Texas, it is believed that the friends
of temperance of all denominations will rally
around its banner, and crowd Armory hall to
its fullest capacity. Several leading temper-
ance speakers have visited Houston recently,
but bave met with but little sympathy. St.
John society is composed of" live, energetic
men, and whenever its members undertake to
do anything in tbe line of public entertain-
ments, they are generally successful.
The committee is hard at work perfecting
arrangements. Herbe's full band will proba-
bly furnish tbe mnsic.aud the speaking will'be
of the llrst order. %
