A Model Fire-engine House.
The No. 3 engine-house has been com-
pleted, and is now regularly occupied by
the fire department. It is not only one of
the handsomest engine-houses in the city,
Irat in point ol adaptability for the pur-
poses for which it is Intended, will compare
most favorably with any structure of the
kind in the South. It has been built ex-
" • with a view of expediting the mat-
ter of talcing out trucks and locating the
horses in ccSe of fire alarms, and will no
doubt fulfill all requirements in this re-
Epect. The bnilding will cost when com-
pleted. including all the accessories in the
way of modern appliances, not over $5500.
Chief Oldenburg is very much pleased
with the work, and regards it as
llie model engine-house' of the city.
Among other modern appliances it has
■what is called a slide-pole, by which a fire-
man, who may be in the upper story of the
building in case of an alarm of fire,"instead
of taking time to go down the steps, may
elide down this pole from the second to the
first floor of the building, thus economizing
the time so necessary in cases of fire. This
building will take the place of the one de-
stroyed by the big November fire in 1285.

The citizens storm relief committee met
Again yesterday afternoon, but did nothing,
ns the various sub-committees were not
ready with their reports. These reports are
to be prepared by C o'clock this evening,
when another meeting of the general com-
mittee will be held. From the data already
Ju it is calculated that about $14,000 or
.*(■15,000 will be distributed out of the fund of
about $20,900 on hand. While a disposition
of the residue of the fund has not yet be-
come a matter of discussion, it is thought
lltat some of it will be sent to ludianola and
other home points devastated by the recent
storm, while a large portion wtll probably
le set aside and sent as Galveston's contri-
bution to the sufferers at Charleston.

MEETING OF BOABD OF HEALTH.
A Conference With the State Health Officer in
Reference to the Reported Yellow
Fever at Belozi.
State Health Officer Dr. R. M. Swearingen,
of Austin, being in the city, at the solicita-
tion of several prominent citizens, Mayor
Fulton, who is ex-officio president of the
board of health, called a special meeting of
the board yesterday afternoon for the pur-
pose of conferring with Dr. Swearingen
upon the report of yellow fever at Beloxi,
Miss., as published in The News dispatches
yesterday from New Orleans.
There were present at the meeting Mayor
Fulton, City Health Physician Dr. Cooke,
Alderman Large and Engineer Wilson.
Dr. Swearingen met the board by ap-
pointment. He stated that he had received
no information in regard to the reported
cases of fever at Biloxi, other than he had
noticed in the press dispatches, though he
had already telegraphed for further par-
ticulars.
It was suggested that Alderman Fowler
had received a dispatch from New Orleans,
which he had turned over to Quarantine
Officer Blunt, and which conveyed the in-
formation that the fever was confined to
two families at Biloxi engaged in the shrimp
canning business.
Dr. Swearingen expressed the greatest
confidence in Drs. Holt and Scales, who
were on the ground, and was perfectly
satisfied as to their ability to cope with the
danger and prevent the spread of the
disease. He did not apprehend the least
danger to this locality. Biloxi was situated
directly on the line of railroad between
New Orleans and Mobile, and those two
cities being the most directly concerned
would take every necessary precaution to
prevent the spread of the disease.
In answer to the question if it were not
probable that yellow fever even now ex-
isted in New Orleans in sparodic form, and
the fact was being suppressed, Dr. Swear-
ingen answered that it was not at all
likely, as a solemn compact had been en-
tered Into by the heads of the health de-
partments of the gulf States pledging them-
selves to notify each other or the existence
of even suspicious cases, and the failure to
comply with this agreement would carry
with it the ignominy of deception, and
would be a breach of faith that none of the
heads of departments would lay themselves
liable to. He felt assured that notice of
the cases under consideration had already
been sent him at Austin.
Dr. Swearingen did not think any action
at present necessary on the part of the
Galveston board, and had, in answer to a
dispatch from Health Officer Dr. Powell, of
Houston, wired him the same opinion.
The state health officer went on to say
that it was not a matter of record where
any serious epidemic had ever oc-
curred in any of the gulf States,
where the introduction of the dis-
ease occurred as late as September.
He did not mean to assert that epidemics
of yellow fever had not oocurred even in
Texas later than September 1, but in such
' " b<
g'
ira
ingen that he apprehended no danger and
f o '
cases the germ had been planted in con-
' Iguous latitudes long before that date.
With renewed assurances from Dr. Swear-
saw no cause for immediate action, other
than a reliance upon the system of state
quarantine already established, the board
adjourned.

POLITICAL PICKINGS.
WHAF IS THOUGHT OF THECONVENFION
A Nomination by the Coming County Conven-
tion Generally Regarded as an Empty1S
Honor bv Candidates and Its Action
Unbinding by Voters
The county nominating convention that
will be held on September 8, in this city,
and which for the purpose of designation
will be called " Democratic," is not strik-
ing much terror into the hearts of already
announced candidates, none of whom have
changed their announcements to read " sub-
ject to the nomination of the Democratic
County convention." The fact is that the
crop of candidates so far matured are not
even taking into their calculations the
possibility of receiving the nomination of
the convention, to be held on September 8,
and from what News reporters can learn
none of them intend submitting their
names to the convention with the view of
abiding the result. While none of them
will ignore the indorsement of th i conven-
tion—which they regard as being unable to
do them any harm—few, if any, are
willing to concede that that indorse-
ment would do them any good,
further than the numerical strength of the
convention itself in sealing its work at the
ballot-box; and there are those who are not
willing to admit that the personnel of the
convention is made lip even of that element
of consistency.
It is generally admitted, even by those
who went into the ward-club system, that
the present attempt to rejuvenate the party
has fallen flat and proved a signal failure—
the movement, probably outlined with the
best intention, having been captured
and perverted by designing ward poli-
ticians. Those who went luto
the reorganization movement with
pure motives, and enrolled their names as
members of Democratic ward clubs with
the sole purpose of trying to resurrect
local organization, are now willing to ad-
mit the failure, and openly assert that they
will not feel bound by any action the
proposed convention may determine
upon. When enrolled members of
the local Democracy take this ground
what can be expected of the large majority
of Democrats who refused at the start to
sanction this club system by a subscribed
pledge of their political faith, and where is
the wonder that candidates, under the cir-
cumstances, regard the nomination of such
a convention as an empty honor?
The business and representative element
almost as a unit will decline to pay any at-
tention whatever to the nominations, and
the general answer to questions touching
this point is, " I shall vote for whatever
nominations of the convention suit me as
to the candidates, irrespective of their no-
mination by the convention." This senti-
ment is the one that generally pre-
vails, and candidates knowing this are
shaping their course accordingly, and
from the present outlook it would appear
that those who manipulated the machine at
the primaries with the view of securing
nomination for "lubricating" purposes
were badly left in their calculations, as the
candidates who think that the nomination
of this convention is worth any valuable
consideration have not yet developed.
In short, the movement to reorganize and
'' ~ tic
_ . . . >igt
ure. While this result may be attributed
re-establish a machine Democratic party in
Galveston county has proved a signal fail-
to the lassitude of the Democratic element,
it is nevertheless a fact that the effort made
has been defeated.
The delegation for the county nominat-
ing convention in complexion is very simi-
lar to other delegations recently elected
and labeled Democratic, and if the conven-
tion cuts any figure at all in the political
canvass, the lines will be drawn from the
present ontlook, between the machine De-
mocracy on the one side captured by the
Knights of Labor element of the party and
the business element on the other, support-
ed by the colored vote. Very much such
another canvass as the municipal canvass
of last year.

Belated Colored Picnickers.
Certain of the colored population of the
city have for some time past been giving,
duriDg the heated term, a picnic every
Monday, down the island at Lafitte grove.
For some reason or other, this week last
Wednesday was chosen, instead of Mon-
day, and, as though the fates were dis-
pleased at the deviation from the regular
programme, an unexpected and disagree-
able event occurred on the return trip, suf-
ficient to act as a kind of damper on their
future picnics. The train that pulled out
for the picnic grounds Wednesday morning
was crammed with jofaus (souls, and the
music from the glistening brass band vied
with the whistle and bell of the locomotivo
in making the air full of sweet sounds.
Arriving at the place the somber-hued
dudes and dudines jumped off the coaches
with a dainty skip, and in loving com-
panionship proceeded to spread the feast
'neath towering mesquites and salt cedars.
Like all days of pleasure, the day passed
away only too quickly, and as the evening
shadows began to perceptibly darken, ham-
pers and baskets were gathered up and all
once more merrily tripped to the train.
In the midst of an excited discussion con-
cerning the probability of an earf't-juake
in the city the train suddenly came
to a dull, fsickening stop. By this t ne it
was about midnight, and all were pretty
anxious to get in. unlike most stopjuges,
this halt was of unusual long duration, and
impatience began to manifest itself in dif-
ferent ways. Pretty soon one dusky dude,
who had been investigating matters, gave
out the startling intelligence that the loco-
motive had given them the shake, as it was
nowhere to be seen. This occasioned a
general uprising, when the statement was
round to be quite correct. There was no
getting around it. The little engine had
utterly disappeared, leaving them side-
tracked five miles away from the city.
Their indignation knew no bounds, but
there they were, and there they had
to remain until the locomotive was
disposed to return and get them.
g
Srospe
id they wait, and toward the first faint
streaks of dawn their sleepy and anxious
organs of vision were rewarded by seeing
the locomotive's headlight flash into view
around a curve. Bo instead of reaching
their domiciles at the accustomed hour of
112.30, they pulled into the city about day-
light yesterday morning, with a great loss
of temper ana sleep, though none the worse
for wear. It seems that the locomotive had
to coal up, not having sufficient to come in
with a heavy load, and encountering unex-
pected and numerous delays, did not get
back within reasonable time.

GOLBTHWAITE.
Celebrating the Anniversary in Grand Style-
General Notes and Crop Prospects.
Goldthwaitk, September 2.—This has
been a gala day for Goldthwaite. The bar-
becue given in honor of the first anniver-
sary of our town was a great success.
Early in the morning people began assem-
bling, and by twelve o'clock the number
present was estimated at from 2000 to 3000.
A very large arbor was erected and seated
for the comfort of visitors. Hon. 8. W. T.
Lanham delivered an able and exhaustive
address in the forenoon. In the afternoon
Hon. A. W. Terrell was called to the stand
and made an excellent speech. He showed
up the action of the land board,
dwelt at some length upon the
cause of monopolies and landed cor-
porations, convinced his hearers that he
was opposed to the granting of land subsi-
dies to railroads while he w*s a msuibei; of
the legislature. No one doubted who heard
his speech that he was the friend of the la-
boring and producing classes. His speech
produced a good effect, and he will without
doubt sweep this section at the next elec-
tion. The latter part of the day was occu-
pied by candidates for the various county
offices, each setting forth his claim for the
suffrages of the people. The Brownwood
band furnished music for the occasion.
About 5 o'clock the crowd dispersed and all
went away f eeling that the citizens of Gold-
thwaite had done nobly in making this an
occasion long to be remembered.
The remains of Tom. Sillman, wlro was
killed above San Kabn, passed through to-
day, being taken to Eastland county, where
his wife was at the time of the killing. All
the parties implicated in the killing are
now in jail at San Saba.
Cotton is coming in daily, and money is
becoming more plentiful.
