The Skating Rink.
President Sinclair, of the city railroad, displayed
excellent judgment in opening the pavilion as a
Bkating rink. Although open as a rink scarcely
two months, yet the pastime has become so popular
that there were over 600 persons piv-ent last
evening. Young, old and middle-aged jos led each
other Upon the tloor. and frequently the iiov-.ce had
his pedal extremeties knocked from under him;
}ret all was taken in good part, ami a hourly laugh
lad at the unfortunate. There uere some reahy
fine am teur skaters present—both mule and fe-
maie—Mrs. Stressau being, without doubt, the most
graceful and ea-y skater upon the floor. Many of
the ladies glided along very graceful when ac-
campanied by another person, but M.'s. Stressau
and Mrs. Charles, the wife of Proi t s> a- Charles,
alone looked perfectly at home and graceful
Srhen unaccompanied. Theirs was.iudt> <J,the poetry
of motiou, and as these ladies moved uioj.g without
the slightest effort apparently, the eyes <>t the on-
lookers, of whom there virere many, f..l,,,\ved them
continually. Mrs. R. J. John, Mrs. W. H. Sinclair,
Krs. Walter Gresham, Jliss Julia Hall and two or
tnree other young ladies, whose names weie not
learned, displayed much proficiency in the art of
skating. The little daughter of Professor Charles,
Miliie, who is only about ten years old, displayed
grt a, proficiency, and was on the floor continually
w ith boys of her own age, as well as older ones,
beir.g quite a favorite with all who attend the rink.
Or the very small boys, Harry Sinclair was proba-
bly the best skater present, while of those of a few
y. ui s older Masters Sherwood Sabin, Arbuckle, and
one or two others, showed their expertness upon the
rollers. Of the male skaters there were quite a
number of good ones whose names were not
learned, but certainly the most graceful amateur
skater there was Harry Wood. Mr. Bechler, one
of the teachers, is a tolerably good skater, but no
comparison* to his partner, Professor Charles.
This latter gentleman occupied the immense floor
alone for about fifteen minutes in displaying what
may well be termed fancy skating, and showing
what may be done on roller-skates by a proficient
It is very doubtful whether his superior can be
found iu the United States. With the electric
light and scores of skaters flitting here and there,
the scene at the rink last night was one worth see-
ing Professor Charles announced that on Friday
next there would be a fancy dress carnival of
skating—no one to be permitted to skate unless in
a fancy costume. Professor Lindenberg'fl line
fcaad furnished the music last night
FINANCIAL AFFAIRS.
Wr. Kopperl on City Securities—'The De-
pression in Santa Fes and the Causes
Therefor—Hoi>v the East Regards Gal-
veston as a Port.
Hon. M. Kopperl. who returned from the North
day b.-fore yesterday, was called upon ye-terday
by a News representative for the purpose of ob-
taining information at his hands touching financial
matt rs of interest to the people of Galveston. Mr.
Kopperl said That he did not care to submit to an
interview, but as the matters suggested by the re-
porter were of general importance he would give
briefly the result of his observations.
While in New York did you do anything with
citv fires? asked The reporter.
No, I had no authority to make an effort to place
the i sue. and while of course I discussed the loan
v ith my friends, yet I did not make any direct ef-
fort to put ic upon the market.
What do you think of the prospect of floating the
bends now?
I do not consider the present a favorable time
for it. My reasons are that at this time the money
market is close and uncertain. Since the death of
President Garfield there has not been the tone oc
strength which it possessed duriug the summer.
When the bond first ordered to be offered I
beliove.it ought to have commanded par i:i the
then condition of the market; but there was
no one authorized to negotiate it at that time.
There is no doubt it could have
been readily placed at less than par
but for the provision in the act authorizing
its issue, that it should not be sold for less than
par. Capital is timid of municipal securities un-
less they are so perfectly straight as to be free
from the slightest complications.. The tightening
of the money market which was caused by the de-
mand for me ins for use in the increased activity of
trade, the general progress of internal develop-
ment, and the moving or the crops, depressed this
a • it did all similar classes of securities.
What, then, would you suggest as best to be done
under the circumstances?
I think it would be best to wait until the crops
are moved and there follows an easing in the mar-
ket. Then, I believe, if the legal technicality
mentioned can be overcome, no trouble will be ex-
perienced in placing tiie loan. But the city does
not want, either au'horitatively or otherwise, to
spread her commission to sell over a half dozen
persons. If direct authority is given to one agent
he can do more good than can be accomplished iu
a;iy other war. The fact that two or three gentle-
men were inquiring about the loan during the
summer served then to make the banks somewhat
suspicious of the bond.
V. hat is the general feeling toward Galveston?
Very ravorable, indeed. The people of the
North and East are watching the progress of Gal-
veston with close interest. They believe that deep
water will be obtained on our bar, and they look
to the time that we will become a great shipping
port. Hew York commands a very heavy trade
with us, and througa us with the State at large,
and they desire to see a success made of the en-
terprise.
But do you think their friendship is of that prac-
tical kind which can be relied upon for assistance?
How do you mean?
Say before Congress.
I was Hot in Washington immediately be-
fore the assembling of Congress, and there-
fore do not know what the sentiment of the
representatives is upon the subject, but I em
satisfied that the commercial men of New York
recognize the improvement of Galveston harbor as
a work of national importance, and one that should
command the earnest attention of the govern-
ment; and I believe that they will throw tneir in-
fluence in our favor if it is deemed necessary for
tii em to do so.
Mr. Kopperl, I would like to get your views as
to the cause of the depression of Santa Fe securi-
ties a short time since in the New York market.
There was no good cause in the world for it.
There is no reason why the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe bonds should have gone down. The whole
thing came about because men who were carrying
them were unable to hold and had to sell, and if
they couldn't get their own price they had to take
" the other man's." The start came when $47,000 of
the bonds were ordered to be sold at auction. My
friends came to me and asked, '• What's the matter
with your security?" I would tell them, there is
nothing; we are building steadily ahead; our
earnings are large, and there is no better
railroad security than ours. "Then why,"
they would ask me, " do your people
permit this? Why do these bonds go under the
hammer? " Of course, the nonaction of our friends
at home caused the bonds to be regarded suspi-
ciously, and right there the tumble began. I pro-
tected one party who was carrying $100,000, and
effected for him an arrangement by which he was
able to withdraw his holdings from under the ham-
mer. The prevalent uncertainty of the money
market, of course, affected the bonds al<o. When
in the early summer holders had no trouble in ob-
taining money at par on both the bonds and the
stock, later in the season the banks began to call
i.-i their loans, and those who could not respond
were forced to sell. One gentleman who had taken
a heavy amount was obliged to go on the market
as a seller for just this reason. As I told you, there
was no good cause in the bonds themselves for the
weakening, but I think this, that to run them up to
125 is really more than a 7 per cent, rail-
road bond can stand. I would look at
them at 115, or 120 even, as a legitimately
good investment. The same causes which forced
the bearing of the bonds of course affected the
stock likewise. And yet there is more reason why
it should be worth 200 than there is that it should
command 100, for we issue only $6000 of stock to
the mile and carry a bonded indebtedness of only
$12,000, a total of only 1518,000 per mile, which, for
a broad-gauge road, is comparatively insignificant,
especially going as it does through the best por-
tion of the State, and having the finest equipment,
stations and terminal facilities of any road in
Texas; besides which the road has no floating debt.
There is scarcely a line of like character in the
country which does not carry from $24,000 to $30,-
000 to the mile, and some of them even as high as
$.*>0,000 to the mile.
This leads me to ask you something with regard
to construction?
We are now working on the main line to Lam-
pasas.
Was not there a resolution or agreement to build
250 miles of the road during the coming year?
There was simply authority to do so, and the di-
rt ctors have power, if they should at any time see
proper, to either delay or discontinue.
For what was the 10 per cent, assessments in
stock called in October and November?
For construction purposes.
Was a call made for December?
Yes; it has been issued.
Then, do you think the main line will be extended
beyond l^ampasas?
That I can not tell. We are nearly graded to that
point, and wid build there at once, but what will
oe decided upon afterward I can not say.
Were any bonds offered recently in New York to
private parlies—that is, beyond the former issue?
N^, there are none to offer, and will be none
until there is further construction of the road. Those
already ordered to be issued have been heretofore
i>.,( riied by subscription by the syndicate, and I
•liink are hnaly hela.

Remarks—The week past has been one of almost
excitement in real estate. The demand has ex-
ceeded any previous week for years. The greatest
demand has been for business property on Market
square and Main street. Owing to the large new
cotton press going up on Internattoal and Great
Northern Railway, on the adjoining property^©
the Forbush addition in the lofth Ward and other
contemplated improvements, such as car&hont,
machine shoop, e c., that ward is having anoihlr
bo »m. Rents are advancing, especially in the
Fifth Ward, where the demand for >entant houses
i* unprecedented, an I capitalists would do well to
build forty or fifty neat cottages for rent.

culiar significance in the well known charac-

is one of the leading citizens of M:?sissipp:, for-
merly a large slave owner and planter, and
and now one of the most progressive men of
the South. Ex-Oovernor Jewell, as is well
knowni, a native of Connecticut, has been
governor of his State—envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipotentiary of the United
states to Russia, and postmaster-general in
♦be presidential cabinet of the Unit* d States.
"When Colonel Hardeman, at the conclusion of
his eloquent peroration, joined the hands cf
these two gentlemen at emblematic of the new
union of interests betweti the sections tie
large audience gave liberal demonstration o.
approval.

LChicago Tribune.]
The attempt of the third-term stalwarts, f~
called, to make capital out of the election f
Mr. Keifer, of Ohio, to the speakership,is a Lu
of the most transparent humbug. Mr. Keifer
never was in favor of a third term of the
presidency for anybody. He never was a
stalwart in the sense of that word which
Conkling, Cameron and the other bosses have
made odious. He is no more and 110 less of a
stalwart than Blaine, who invented the word,
or Garfield, whom a Conklingite murdered, or
John Sherman, or George F. Hoar, or J. R.
Hawley, or Omar D. Conger, or S. J,~ Kirk-
wood, or Ben Harrison, or C. B. Farwell,
or a hundred other men conspicuous
in public life who were opposed to the
third term first and last. Mr. Keifer was in a
peculiar sense not a " stalwart," inasmuch as
he was an original Hayes man, and continued
to be the special representative of ex-president
Hayes on the floor of Congress after Garfield
bad abandoned his cause. The pretense that
Mr. Keifer ever gave up Hayes in Congress or
out of it is false. He always was and still is,
and probably will long continue to be, on the
most intimate terms of personal fvnd ixriitical
friendship with the ex-president. He was
one of the delegates who nominated Mr.
Hayes at Cincinnati in 1876 by the practica of
the art of " sticking," and he has 41 stuck"
ever since. At Chicago he was equally per-
sistent in his devotion, first to John Sherman
and then to James A. Garfield, neither of
whom had anything in common with the
Cameron and Conkling kind of etalwartisin.

Mr. Longfellow kept Thanksgiving Day

poem he has recently composed, called Hermes

sary for him to put a curb on his constitutional

him from answering the numberless leiteis

Rescued from Death.
William J. Couglin, of Somerville, Mass., says:
"In the fall of 18761 was taken with bleeding of
the lungs, followed by a severe cough. I lost my
appetite and flesh, and was confined to my bed. In
lo<T I was admitted to the Hospital. The doctors
said 1 had a hole in my lung as big as a half dollar.
At one time a report went around that I was dead.
I gave up hope, but a friend told me of Da. William
Hall's Balsam for the Lungs. I got a bottle,
when, to my surprise, I commenced to feel better,
and to-day I feel better than for three years past.
I write this hoping every one afflicted with diseased
lungs will take Dr. William Hall's Balsam, and
be convinced that Consumption Can be Cured. I
can positively say it has done more good than all
the other medicines I have taken since my sick-
ness." For coughs and colds unsurpassed. Of all
druggists. _
Allen Lewis, of Olneyville, has had his
most earnest desire complied with. He enter-
tained a great affection for aa old house, in
which he had lived, frequently saying he
would like to do die there. One day last week
he made a casual call at the place, and as he
entered the parlor he fell deaa to the floor.
Worse than bankruptcy is a constitution
broken down by disease. If it is the result of
fast living, the excessive use of Whiskv, the
injudicious use of Mercury, exposure in Mias-
matic regions, sedentary habits, self-abuse or
Scrofulous taint, Dr. Tutt's Pills will restore
you to health, more to be desired than gold.
