Out Again.
Joo Huberty, wbo tried to cut bis
throat with a pen knife some days ago,
was out walkiDg on tbe streets Mon
day, and has no further desire to change
his base.
Some Truth In It.
Tbe latest brand of prize candy is
"Little Fraud." There is some truth in
it—the name. A man opened a box and
found a head of a horned frog and a
piece of city scrip.

Tbe City Treasurer is now engaged in
registering scrip, and since Friday morn-

$20,000 in scrip to some forty persons
One man alone gave in $10,000 in city
paper.

Examine your Chimney*.
This is the season of tires. Tbe se-
vere rains that have lately visited us
have in many places washed the cement
from between tbe bricks of tbe chimneys
and converted them into mere channel*
for communicating fire to the bouses in
whlci they are built. A careful exami
nation of every chimney should be made
by a competent workman before a fire is
lighted in the stoves. This will cost but
little In itself but will be the means of
saving much valuable property.
A Word of Warning.
There sre five suspicious characters
now in this ctiy who are believed to be
experienced cracksmen from New Or
leans. In this connection it would
be well for business men to exercise
special care to see that their stores are
securely guarded and watched. For the
past few weeks there has been great
negligence shown by different parties in
fastening their places of business, and
no later than Monday night two stores,
one on Twenty-first street, between Me-
chanic street and the Strand, and the
other on the Strand, between Twentieth
and Twenty first streets, were found open
and secured by the police.
A Ntil.aucc.
Tbe condition of the sidewalk on the
south side of Market street, between
Nineteenth and Twentieth streets, is a
perfect disgrace to the city. The blocks
from tbe wooden pavement from the
street have been piled ou tbe street side
of the walk, and occupy nearly one balf
of the walk, while tbe fruit peddlers oc-
cupy one-fourth of the walk for tbe dis-
play of their goods. To render locomo-
tion still more difficult, the negroes in
the vicinity are in the habit of loafing
along the narrow path, and thus almost
completely choke up the little remaining
space. The attent on of the Superin-
tendent of Streets is respectfully directed
to this locality, as at present no lady can
pass this place without great inconve-
nience and delay.
City Council Notes.
... .The City Council appropriated
$4184 for various purposes Monday
evening.
... .Alderman Jordan labored bard for
an extra appropriation to complete the
laying of tbe Nineteenth street water
supply pipe, and succeeded in his pur-
pose. Amount $1784, including an extra
supply of pipe. The total cost of this
work, including this appropriation, up
to date, is $8550 50.
... .The special committee appointed
to devise means for procuring sand
for grading and filling purposes,
were granted further time, thus
puttiDg off the chances of haviDg
the low places and disfigured streets in
a respectable and sanitary condition.
The odors arising from the stagnant
pool on Twenty-ninth street, between
Avenues N and O, have created a nui-
sance in that quarter that is almost in-
sufferable.
A Fetv More Left.
Only three of tbe city boarders left Mon-
day night, the others stating they did not
care to take the trouble of getting out of
the window, though it was no trouble
for them to do so, since tbe window lead-
ing out on tbe alley is minus a bar, and
the ventilation leading into tbe ware-
house is so open as to admit of tbe exit
of a corpulent man.
The names of the last departures are:
John Ilerley, convicted on Monday of
disorderly conduct, and sentenced to five
days imprisonment; Jimes Go-don, con-
victed of wife-beating Saturday morning
and sentenced to fifteen days imprison-
ment; and John Doyle, convicted at the
same time, of keeping a house of ill-fame,
and sentenced to fifteen days imprison-
ment.
For tbe convenience of tbe city offi-
cials tbe gentlemen wbo leave this un-
popular retreat are requested in future
to leave by the established channels, to
wit: the window leading to the alley or
through the ventila or, and not, as was
done last night, needlessly destroy the
city's property by punching new holes
through the Bide of the building.
The Harbor Work*.
Lieut. Quinn has had a partial exami-
nation of tbe jetty made, arid finds tbat
it is intact seven hundred feet out from
the beginning at the end of tbe old break-
water. The examination was made by a
diver, who will continue operations on
the next calm day. Lieutenant ljuinn
thinks tbe only change in any portion of
the jetty will be a slight settling, and in
some places it is probable, he infers, that
the gabions have sunk in the sand three
or more feet. In no case does he believe
from present tests that the jetty has
broken or gone out of line enough to
warrant the opinion that the plan is a
failure. He is hopeful of the most en
conragirg developments in the course of
the rest of bis careful examination.
The channel parallel with the jetty
has washed out to a greater depth than
it bad before the storm, «nd his survey,
thus far of tbe bay over tbe inner bar
develops tbe fact, tbat there is more
water by two feet than before the
flood. He is prosecuting the Burvey
of the bay and the mouth of the harbor
rapidly, and in a short time will be en-
abled to afford all desir.il information on
tbe changes made by the stoim. He
Btates that the swash channel,crossed by
the jetty, so far from attempting to open
again, has been shoaled up to a very
great extent, and may be considered as
effectually closed.
As there are 1500 feet of jetty, 800 feet
remain yet to be examined.
An Aggravated Assanlt.
Yesterday morning about half past
tight o'clock the paople residing in the
vicinity of ('enter and Market streetB
were startled by the sound ot blows ac-
companied by the agonized cries of a
woman. On proceeding to the spot they
found Mrs. Berger, the wife of a Ger-
man, a mattress maker by trade, lying in
her house with lier bead badly cut by
blows from a stick. At tbe time she was
discovered She was suffering great pain,
and it was some time before she coul t
speak. After washing the blood from
her wounds, they attempted to get her
to go to the station and make a complaint
against her husband for aggravated as-
sault and battery. Tbe poor woman, as
soon as she was made to comprehend tbe
effect such a charge would have on her
husband, obstinately refused to make
any such charge, stating tbat she received
her wounds from a fall, which was im-
possible from the nature of the wounds,
and that Bhe wanted her husband back
again.
" Oh, send him back again," was her
1 love him'so." M hto
The man disappeared just after the
btows were g.ven, and, although the
officers were searching for him all dav
yesterday, they were unable to learu
anything of his whereabouts.
That a woman can feel anything but
hatred for a brutal fellow who would so
fsrribly maltreat lier seen:s increditahle,
but such ia the effect of woman's love.
Vital Que.Uon*.
PRACTICAL VIEWS ON THE SAND FBOI5-
LEM.
suggestions on grading and gulf
protection.
The questions of obtaining sand and
establishing protection against the Gulf,
as well as other matters pertaining to
the interest of tbe city, are the subjects
of general discussion at present. A re-
porter conversed with persons whose
viewB were solicited, and are submitted.
A practical gentleman, a resident of
this city lor many years, had no objac-
tion to giving bis views on tbe subject,
and hoptd they would tend to create an
interest. Upon being asked his cpinion
in regard to the best method of procur-
ing pand, he said :
"The sand problem is an important onp,
especially at this moment when, in addi-
tion to the breaks and holes made by the
Hood, that need filling, it is desirable
that the general system of gradiDg be
continued. I have always contended
tbat the best way to get sand is from the
channel along the bay front. In order to
do this successfully, means must be pro-
vided. Dredge boats and barges will do,
but tbe cheapest plan would be to draw
tbe sand from the channel with a suction
pump, a piece of machinery generally
used for this purpose elsewhere. If tbe
Street and Alley Committee were only
to interest themselves sufficiently in this
method as to make inquiries about the
cost of these pumps, they might ascer-
tain the long sought for source of sand
supply. It must certainly be cheaper for
the city to procure sand this way than
by means of half filled carts."
" How about the wharfage
" I take that into consideration—ten
cents a cubic yard—in my calculation.
If it was determined by the Council to fill
the eulcbex cut in Nineteenth, Twenty-
fifth and Twenty-ninth streets, besides
other placep, and to continue grading the
city it would fully repay her to buy her
own machinery and offer to take enough
sand to make it an incentive to contrac-
tors to bid lively against one another."
The reporter conversed with a civil
engineer of mature views, and his opin-
ion upon the question of takiDg sand
from the beach will be interesting.
"The beach/' said he, " has been
preyed upon until the public regard it
as common property. The very man
wno petitions to have Bath avenue filled
up again where it has washed out, has
taken as much sand from the beach as
any one. Any one who has observed the
line of the beach will see that there is
a tendency to bank up sand a couple of
hundred feet beyond the water line.
Here is wherethe Gulf protection should
be, and where the natural sand barriers
once stood. But the sand diggers have
been allowed to cart away from the beach
until it is settling down on a level. It is
very injudicious to take material from
the beach front, and should there be an
other storm, and in the meantime beach
depredations continue, there will be other
streets to stop with a bulkhead besides
Twenty-fifth street. Green's Bayou and
other sloughs emptying into the Gulf
have shown a tendency to wash out deep
er, and Twenty-fifth street gully, as well
as the one on Twenty-ninth street, show
that the wa'er will cut rapidly when the
least bit of leadway is offered."
" You think the newly cut channel east
of tbe City Hospital will grow larger ?"
" Every liood will tend to deepen it
and weaken to the amount of scouring
power of the water that flows throuph
it, the cutting capacity of the channel
that flows out of the bay around tbe
point. The plan of harbor improvement
is to concentrate all channels flowing out
of the bay and make them flow through
one passage. These little swashes or
shallow necks show that the water will
try to gain an exit wherever a chance of-
fers, and here is shown the immediate
necessity for closing these openings.
" Galveston has a Bay breakwater and
a Gulf protection to build, and much fill-
ing to do, and probably no question of
more vital interest is there for her to de-
termine just now than this."
" What would you think the best plan
for obtaining sand'("
"It might betaken from the Gulf or
Bay by Buction pumps, or from tbe
Bay by dredges «nd barges. By taking
sand from the Bay a double advantage
is gained, that of deepening tbe channel
while putting the material excavated to
another use."
" If ever there was a necessity for fill-
ing the foundations of houses to grade
it is demanded now more than ever, for
the fljod has left a pond wherever there
exists a vacuum of this sort. Water is
now standing where it never reached be-
fore, and the evil results that must fol-
low from so much stagnation is apparent
to every thinking citizen."
Bold Attack.
A CITIZEN STRUCK BY A SLUNG-S1IOT.
Monday night, about 11:30, Mr. Bod-
daker, who attends the bar for the pro-
prietors of the Couget Ealoon, left his
place of business for home, and pro-
ceeded to Market street, thence to Twen-
tieth street, and when about to cross the
alley on the east side of that street, be-
tween the market and po3toflice, he was
attacked by two men, who had been fol-
lowing him a short distance.
The first intimation he received of
their purpose was the voice of one of the
men, who said something like " stop,
damn you!" He turned just in time to
see the motion of the foremost rascal's
arm, and a moment later a whizzing
sound warned him of the deadly slung
shot. He sprang away, but not before
the shot was launched again, this time
catching its full force on his left
shoulder. Mr. Boddaker rushed out in
the middle of the street, and shouted
for the police, and immediately the
roughs turned and fled down the
alley eastward. They were white men,
and seemed bent on a hellish pur-
pose, as Mr. Boddaker believes the first
stroke whs aimed at his temple. The
night officers were out promply, but a
search for the assailan's proved fruitless.
Th£ boldness of the attack may be re-
alized when the locality chosen for it is
considered—almost under the eyes of
the night officers at the Station-house,
and near the Market, which ia always
open at the hour the attack waa made.
Trcmont Opera Honse.
A good audience assembled at the
Opera House last evening to witness the
second performance of " Across the Con-
tinent."
Tbe performance, in many respects,
was a decided improvement on that of
the night before, the actors seeming more
at home on the boards, and besides, being
rested, were more painstaking in their
rendition of their several p.rts. The
scenery, also, was more easily handled,
and the last scane, which depends so
much on scenic effect, was a great im-
provement on the ni^ht before. The
audience were unspairing in their ap-
plause, and each of the tableaux received
a hearty encore.
The same bill will be presented to-night
for the 'ast time during the present
engagement of Mr. Byron, and all who
wish to see this popular play should
avail themselves of this, their last op-
portunity.
Lcl'i Open.
Last night a notion store on Twenty-
second street, between Market and Post-
office streets, was found unlocked, and
was secured by the police.
A vegetable stall in the market was
also found broken open, but as nothing
was missed,it is thought tbat the would-
be thieves were frightened off before
they had time to operate.
The police also complain that the doors
of sheds in the alleys back of large
wholesale houses are left unfastened at
night, though s'ored with inflammable
material, and off-ring a chance for the
thieves wbo may wish to distract atten-
tion from their field of operations, to set
on lire and then have an undisputed
chance to ply their nefarious schemes in
another part of the city.

THE COURTS.
Recorder's Court.
Leslie Thompson, Recorder; E. O'C.
Maclnerney, Clerk ; A. H. Willie, Attor-
ney.
Handy Andv was charged with abus
ing, insulting and provoking Abe Woods.
On the stage the traditional Handy At-dy
may abuse, insult and provoke to his
heart's content, but in this city the ordi-
nances provide for the punishment of
such proceedings, and Handy was fined
$5 and costs, or in default of payment
five days in the coop.
Henry Hassehneyer, charged with
fighting, was discharged for want of
proof of the offense complained of.
Julia Johnson aud Polly Williams,
charged with disorderly conduct,- had
their cases continued.
Wm. Francis, charged wi h trotting
his team on the wharf, was discharged.
The evidence establishing the fact that
tbe accused was not guilty of the offense
charged, as his horse, which is a young
and fiery aninmal, broke loose from him
and was stopped as eoon as possible by
Mr. Francis.
John Purcell, charged with a violation
of Article 176 of the City Ordinances,
known as the hack ordinance, was tried
by a jury. The particular offense com-
plained of was being more than six feet
from his hack. At the conclusion of the
evidence and the argument of the coun-
sel, the jury retired with the papers, and
shortly returned with a verdict of not
guilty, whereupon the accrued was dis-
charged.
Mike Williams, on tbe same charge,wss
tried at the same time, the verdict of the
jury being tbe same as the former case,
and Mr. Williams was also discharged.
An unknown d. d. was discharged, it
being bis first appearance.
John Fisher, charged with insulting
and abusing Solomon Kerufim, was ex-
amined and discharged, the evidence
showing the complaint a frivolous one.
The costs were assessed against the com-
plainant, Mr. Kerufim.
Mrs. Allen, charged with vagrancy, was
tried, and, being convicted, was required
to enter into a peace bond in the sum of
one bundled dollars to keep the peace
for one year, or, in default of the bond,
to be confined in jail for seven days.
Nicholas Moncat and Frank Brown
were charged with fighting. The evi-
dence for the prosecution utterly failed
to prove the offense, but the defendants
being unsatisfied with this, thought it
necessary to introduce a witness of their
own, who went on to testify so clearly to
the offense charged that the accused were
each fined seven dollars and costs for
their breach of the city ordinance.
The State vs. L. P. Smith, charged
wiiih theft of property of a less value
than twenty dollars, the alleged property
of Gabrielle Nichols, was tried by a jury.
The evidence was contradictory in parts,
and the jury were out four hours before
agreeing on a verdict, when they re-
turned a verdict of not guilty, and the
prisoner was discharged.
The State vs. Dan McCormick, charged
with an assault with intent to murder
John Fisher, was continued, as Fisher is
too badly injured at present to admit of
his being ble to testify in the case for
several days.
Justice*' Courts.
At Justice Hancock's there was con-
siderable business done yesterday of a
civil nature, and several cases were
tried during tbe day.
At Justice Joiinson's yesterday was
a very dull day. One civil case was dis-
posed of, and the rest of the day was oc-
cupied mainly io mere routine business.
At Justice Bkosig's there were three
civil suits tried, aud two criminal cases
against Hon. Richard Nelson, charged
with the theft of types, which were con-
tinued to Thursday morning at ten
o'clock.
The amount of civil business done ex-
ceeded that of any previous day since the
storm.
Prof. C. II. (Iceland's Academy of
Dancing and Calisthenics, will be open
for the reception of pupils on and after
Monday, November 1,1875. Circulars wiil
be issued immediately and thoroughly
distributed thr ughout the city. A new
and more advantageous system of terras
and regulations will be adopted, and tbe
pations and pupils are assured that Pro-
fessor Cleveland will, as always, use his
best efforts to promote their enjoyment,
and to render his schools entertaining ns
well as instructive.

Oar Claims.
We claim that there is greater certain-
ty and uniformity in the production of
good bread, biscuits, etc., in the use of
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder, and
that the articles made with it are more
wholesome and digestible than if made
with any other kind. That it is one-
third stronger, hence requires one-tbird
less, which may be proved by the only
reliable and truthful test, a trial by tbe
oven. We claim for it, as also for Dr.
Price's Flavoring Extracts, that they are
just as represented, and just what the
public expect them to be by the name
under which they are Bold. Steele &
Price, manufacturers.
A Call at the New Store
of A. & S. Levy will convince you that
no store in tbe city can be compared with
the one of ours. Their up-Btairs is now
crammed full with the choicest patterns
of carpets, mattings, rugs and window
shades. In a few days a fine line of
floor oil cloths will arrive. Some of the
nicest dress goods, silk velvets and plush;
also, shawls, blankets, sacques, flannels,
cassimeres, hosiery, corse\s, etc., etc.,
have been received today and marked
very low, to be sold quick. Call and gee
for yourself. A. & S. Levy,
now at 121 Market.
Dress Goods and Millinery.—Sell
ing dress goods cheap having proved a
success, I shall continue to give to my cus-
tomers every advantage ; and as for ladies
and misses' bats, of which I have the lat-
est styles, I will offer such inducements
as to engage everybody to patronize my
establishment. " Silvain Levy,

Convicted.—In the Criminal Court
yesterday the brakesman on the Galves
ton, Harrisburg and San Antonio Rail-
way, Jack White, who, some time ago,
entered the baggage car and shot the
conductor, Mr. Phillips, was tried, found
guilty, and sentenced to two years in the
Penitentiary. The difficulty, as stated at
the time, arose from Phillip's refusing to
discharge a green hand at the request of
White. The affair occurred at Harris-
burg while Phillip's train was waiting at
that point,
Continced.—Before his Honor Judge

MINOR ITEMS.
It is understood the bids for contract
work on the old New Orleans and Texas
Railway hence to the Sabine, are now
under consideration by the President
and New York Directors of the road
The result, it is reported, will be known
in a few days. No work is at present
being prosecuted on the line.
The precise disposition of the property
owners of Franklin street relative to the
proposed piving of the thoroughfare
has not yet been ascertained ; the ques-
tion being whether the proprietors of
front lots are willing to give their indi-
vidual notes for the cost of improve-
ments.
Monday evening a single freight train
on the Central brought down $24,000
worth of cotton, the average amount of
the staple transported over that road
in the direction of Houston and Galves-
ton being $75,000 worth daily.
During the paBt week business has
been rather active than otherwise, and
the rattling of drays and movement of
goods Bomewhat favored the activity of
former years.
Fifth Ward bridge, over White Oak
bayou, has been thrown open to the pub-
lic and the free passage of vehicles as
formerly.
But very little business was transacted
in the Criminal Court on Monday, owing
to the illness of J udge Cook.
Those who expected a " big blow" yes-
terday, the 19th, were most grievously
disappointed.

THE BACK TRACK
is probably the finest in Texas, and to-
day Is in excellent fix, and several of our
best State horses are here and to arrive,
making the whole exhibition a gala day
for lovers of the genuine thoroughbred
horse.
We notice Major A. W. Moore, the
thoroughbred grower of the Colorado,
here. The Major's farm is in Bastrop
county, (my native heath,) and I feel a
swelling pride in his eighteen head of
genuine Durhams on exhibition. Ibe
President, however, the genial Wiley
Jones, will be close on the Major's heels
for the ribbons. There are many others,
but I am not yet posted. There is likely
to be a 2:27 race here, pacing match, be-
tween Mr. Lank Cassidy's gray mare, and
the bay mare of Kansas; both have fine
records as pacers.
The weather is fine, and all bids fair
to go right along happy and pleasant.
And why not? This is one of the bett
counties in Texas, and among the best
populated, being all Grangers and Demo-
crats of the first water, centrally located,
and all vieing with each other in hospi-
tality to the stranger and in her produc-
tions. I regret our city is not represent-
ed herein some way as they; the people
here, are for us, we ought to be for them.
The want of connection of tbe rail
yesterday brought a perfect howl on
arrival of the traiD, and they got no Gal-
veston News. They can't do without it
well.
There is not sufficient transportation
here for the cotton accumulating, and
consequently Waco does not rear up as
she ought; aud again, the railroad makes
a difference in localities, which ia felt by
Waco, the liveliest town in NorthweBt
Texas. G.

Waco, Oct. 18,1875.
Eds. Jfeios—Among some thiDgB I
should like to know, in fact, a mass of
them—I should like to know if the objects
of the law-makers in the passage of its
Public Weighers Act, are not virtually
defeated when the weighers (we have
three here) appoint from among our mer-
chants Messrs. Thomas, Ric ard and
Harry as their several deputies to weigh
cotton for—tire producer ? In' some in-
stances the cotton buyers' clerks are the
deputies. Is this sort of thing the cor-
rect article as contemplated by the friends
of the law, or otherwise? If nay, is not
the planter assessed ten cents per bale
very unjustly ?
Just think of it, this city and sur-
roundings will ship 40,000 bales of cot-
ton, on which the tax of ten per cent,
per bale will amount to the very hand-
some sum of $4000. And if the crop
amounts to 500,000 bales in the whole
State, tbe unnecessary expense of weigh-
ing, as the law requires, will foot up
$50,000, a sum sufficient to start a cotton
factory and run it.
I don't wish it understood by the ques-
tions put above that any of the deputies
here are dishonest, all I want to know
particularly is, whether the Fourteenth
Legislature did a wise thing when they
passed the Public Weighers bill?

flushes, or a circumscribed spot on
one or both cheeks; the eyes become

sometimes bleeds ; a swelling of the
upper lip ; occasional headache, with
humming or throbbing of the ears ;
an unusual secretion of saliva ; slimy
or furred tongue ; breath very foui,

Dr. C. M'LANE'S VERMIFUGE

The universal success which has
attended the administration of this
