RAIN PREVENTS A GAME.
The tremendous rain storm which struck
Galveston yesterday afternoon tit half past
3 o'clock prevented the final game of the
series between the Galveston and Dallas
baseball teams and disappointed about
3000 people. The interest in the national
game has never been so intense in Galves-
ton as at present, and both Manager Work
and Manager Sullivan were anticipating a
jammed park. The game will be played oif
some time next month.
The Steers leave for home this morning
and the Sand Crabs went to Shreveport
last night, where they play to-morrow. To-
day Is an off day with all the club.?.
Said Ted Sullivan last evening: "You can
say that 1 am perfectly satisfied with my
treatment in Galveston. While I am per-
fectly satisfied with George Dermody's um-
piring, I believe it is a bad precedent to
put aside the regular umpire and let a
local man umpire. You can see how much
it would upset things. Mind you, Dermody
is all right, but we might not strike such
a man in another city. M'ace should have
umpired. The man is unquestionably hon-
est. He has proved himself a good um-
pire and will continue in that position."

NEWS FROM AUSTIN.
COM PS FOR THE PRESS.
Temple, Tex., July 21.—Mr. W. D. Cox,
secretary of the Texas Stute Press asso-
ciation, is in receipt of an autograph let-
ter from Dan A. Stuart, president of the
Florida athletic club, which gives informa-
tion of Interest to the press gang. The let-
ter Is given in full, with the additional re-
quest from Mr. Cox that those desiring fur-
ther information will apply direct to Mr.
Stuart. The letter is us follow^:
Tyler, Tex.. July 17, 1895.—W. D. Cox,
Esq., Temple. Tex.—Dear Sir: Replying to
jour favor ol" the 10th instant we have ad-
vertised the fact that we have arranged
press seats, the best in the arena, for the
"Texas press," and that every paper in the
state that applied should have a free seat.
We have 625 of these seats, and should this
not be enough to go around, will provide
others somewhere. Heretofore at affairs of
this kind the press, with possibly a few-
exceptions, have had to pay for their
seats. We feel like being liberal to our
home papers, because we wish the press
present, that the whole state, through
them, may know just what takes place,
and tii.it the hydrophobia attacks from
people who do not know one iota of what
they are talking about are far-fetched, to
say the least. This glove contest will take
place as advertised. You will readily un-
derstand that on account of the number of
papers in tlx- state but one admission could
be given to each paper. This matter will be
taken up about October 1. after the appli-
cations are mostly in, and admission tick-
ets designating the location and number of
seat will be sent each paper applying for
same. Yours truly, DAN A. STUART.
CAN PREVENT THE SCRAP.
Dallas, Tex.. July 21.—Thin morning at the
First Baptist church Rev. Tomb.In of La
Grange, Ga., filled the pulpit. His subject
was "The Divinity of Christ." Referring to
the proposed Corbett-Fitzsimmons glove
contest, he did not believe the person-
nel of the crowd attracted by pugilistic ex-
hibitions to be of a very high order, and the
fact that immoral performances of that
sort could be carried on would not reflect
credit on the Lone 'Star state, The rever-
end gentleman said that the contest could
be prevented if the officers vvou.j do their
duty as Governor Northen had done.
FOGARTY WILL FIGHT.
Jack Fogarty of St. Louis, who signs
himself the champion middleweight of Mis-
souri, sends the following to The News:
Tyler, Tex.. July 19.—I hereby challenge
any middleweight lighter in Galveston,
Australian Billy McCarthy preferred, light
to take place two weeks after signing art-
icles. 1 am ready to place a forfeit soon
as articles are signed. JACK FOGARTY.
WH ANGDOODLE REG A TT A.
The Whangdoodle yacht club's regatta
will start promptly this afternoon at 2.30
o'clock from the Morgan wharf, foot of
Twenty-first street. The course will be in
full view of the wharves from start to fin-
ish, and the time the yachts will take to
cover the course will be about two hours.
The rules for the club race are as usual,
no time allowance, no light sails or shift-
ing ballast.
For the open-to-all sweepstake race,
which will be sailed at same time and
over same course, the rules are no time
allowance, boats can only carry jib and
mainsails, crew limited to ten men, and
can carry sand bags. Entrance fee V>,
which may be increased if desired by all
the boats entering this class. The follow-
ing yachts have announced that they will
enter in this class: Hornet, Wasp, lrma,
Viola and Stranger.
The entries in the club race are the
sloops Palmer, White Wing. Silver <'loud,
Hoo-Hoo, Coronet, Altha, Ida and Pearl
W. and schooners Maud E., Louisa, Puri-
tan and Mary Etta.
The yachts entered for the above two
classes and the public generally better be
on time, as this club starts its races
promptly on time.
The entry list for the sweepstake race
will be held open until 2 p. m. to accommo-
date some of the owners of the racers who
may not have entirely made up their
minds. The commodore will be on hand
at the Morgan wharf all day, ready to re-
ceive the entries.
VIGILANT AND DEFENDER.
New York, July 21.—When the Vigilant
meets the Defender to-morrow she will
carry a larger club topsail than that under
which she appeared yesterday. She will
also have a bigger balloon jib, and it is
fair to presume that the sail area, added
by these changes, will assist no little in
sending th« yaVit through the water
faster than she w.-nt yesterday.
Yachtsmen are hoping to-morrow'i event
will take place in a stiff breeze if not a
blow, for nobody knows definitely what the
Defender can do in a wind.
Mr. Willai I. who has charge of the Vigi-
lant, was willing to admit that his boat i
was outsailed >~*terday, but he holds to
the opinion that he can still give the new
boat a lost race. All the sailors who '
have hitherto been insistent that the cen- |
i rboard model was superior to the keel j
point to th^ fact that never before was a j
eenterboard bested by a keel, and de< lar»»
that th-re must b-- .i further t*st before
they will cemfess defeat.

Silver Convention, Glove Contest
and Reagan Resigna-
tion Talk.
NO 16 TO 1 ENTHUSIASM.
Those Who Looked For It Were Disap-
pointed—Travis County (or Cleveland
ar.d .Sound Monsy.
Austin; Tex., July 21.—(Staff correspond-
ence.)—The ps.st week 'has been an interest-
ing one for the capital gceslps, dcopite the
fact that half of the time most of the head's
of departments were absent taking In the
Tyler fruit palace. It Is a cold day when
the Austin people can not find something to
talk about, and for the past few day,s they
have been dividing their attention between
the much talked of Reagan resignation, the
Dalhis glove contest and the free silver con-
vention which was held in this city yester-
day.
Judge Reagan'o card to The News chnl-
lenged considerable discussion and comment
for several reasons. In the first place it is
well known to every man who has talked
with him during the past six months that
he hail (been threatening almost diumally to
resign, anil It Is likewise known to i few
on the inside that he quietly attempted to
do i« > during t'he past few weeks, and iiince
the merchandise 'tariff was completed, jUist
as was stated in The News some days ago.
That being the case, people do not exactly
sec 'through his latest coup in hopping on
The News correspondent for writing some-
thing that everybody is talking. Those who
ha vi re .id t'he card only laugh at the com-
•missioner'ii declaration that he is not a
can 1.date for governor and will not be.
They have heard that siren song before
and it amuses them. They have not for-
gotten that Judge Reagan said the same
thing in the last campaign, and in a few
weeks thereafter waw 'Into the race for gov-
ernor clear uip to 'his eyes. They now say
the same thing may happen again, as his-
tory quite often repeats itself.
And they make another pertinent cb erva-
tion, which is that the judge in his card to
The News neglected to state that he would
absolutely deoline. a nomination for gov-
ernor. die makes the announcement that
The News correspondent Is a deadly enemy
to both himself and Governor Culberson,
something, by the way. which iM> no sem-
blance of truth: but not once does he say
he wllil refuse a gubernatorial nomination
1'.' the free silver democrats tender it to
him. In the first place he says: "A man
who would he. d an office under an appoint-
ment by another and who would seek to
defeat the one making the appointment
cDull hardly be considered honorable." In
the next breath he asks: "Besides, what
would be the impropriety cf my holding an
office by appointment of Governor Culber-
son and opposing him or hie administra-
tion?"
in the meantime The News correspondent
must insist that it is the general Impression
in political circles that Judge Reagan is
go ins: to resign and that he will be the
nominee of the free sliver people for gov-
ernor unless he refuses to accept such a
nomination. Despite the risk of being
agu'in charged v.ith "hostility" it * is here-
by repeated that seven out of ten of the
free silver democrats of Texas favor Judge
Reagan for governor, that they look upon
him as a grand old man and their logical
leader, in :his connection it would be
well for the north Texas senator who stat-
ed the other day that the judge was going
to resign and had told him as much, to
hide out. lest he be branded as "hostile"
to the administration and a public enemy.
The free silver convention held yester-
day was in the nature of a surprise to the
Travis county faithful. They expected to
see a multitude of men break their arms
and legs In the rush to get there and
shout themselves hoarse for "16 to 1." but
nothing of the kind materialized. Instead
scarcely more than a corporal's guard
came, and even those who were on hand
left their wild-eyed enthusiasm at home on
the piano with the exception of Colonel
Hogg and Governor Lubbock, both of
whom "are out of politics," rock-ribbed
and blown-in-the-bottle. And it was a
significant fact that General Solicitor
Hogg of a railroad corporation did not
meet with near the applause ami admira-
tion that used to greet Governor Hogg.
His speech was of the same old kind, but
K did not "catch on" like it once did.
Even when he referred to those who have
the temerity to differ with "him and Gov-
ernor Lubbock" as "flirting flunkeys" the
applause was far from vociferous. One
gentleman even suggested that if the
colont 1 wanted to stir up the boys he
would have to talk about "liver and Tights"
and be presented with a watch.
Colonel llurleson. who is really the head
and front of the movement here, solemnly
informed The News correspondent that
"we made a great mistake in holding the
convention at 12 o'clock—It should have
been called for 2 o'clock." Probablv there
is something in this, as at the latter hour
there were a few more of the wool hat
boys In town and they might have at-
tended the convention, though it is said
that the sound money men are in the ma-
jority, even In the county precincts in
Travis county. There is no denying that
they are overwhelmingly in the'majority
in the city of Austin and Judge Graham
and other prominent men her.' say the
county will go for Cleveland and sound
money with votes to spare. It is not gen-
erally known, but it is a fact nevertheless
that Judge Robertson, Colonel Hogg's law
partner, declines to embrace the free sil-
ver doctrine. He is a straight, democrat
and sound money man from away back.
The land office is now undergoing some-
thing of a shaking up and the employes are
dreaming of that old truism, "uneasy
lies the lead that wears a crown." Leslie
Price, patent clerk, and W. H. Harris, let-
ter registrar, will both retire on the 1st
of the month. Colonel Baker says, how-
ever, that he is simply dropping men out
of some of the departments and placing
new ones in others, instead of reducing the
force. He claims that this is necessary to
the efficiency of the public service and
proper administration of the state's land
aftairs. In this connection Commission t
Baker denies that a political pull had any-
thing to do with the reinstatement of Ed-
ward Sehultze. He says the old fellow
had been engaged longer on the Comanche
county map than he thought necessary
and that he asked for his resignation, but
that Mr. Schultze explained the difficulty
of the work satisfactorily and was rein-
stated before the "political pull" was
brought to bear. He has no desire to tret
rid of Mr. Sehultze.
It will be remembered that the Twentv-
fourth legislature, on application of Colon 1
Baker, made an appropriation of $1400 p.-r
year for an expert to be used in the land
office, and that notwithstanding both
houses were agreeable, Governor Culber-
son vetoed the item. Had he secured this
appropriation Colonel Baker was going to
retain Mr. Premier as the expert an I
place another man at the desk of the old
veteran. Mr. Pressler has been in the land
office for nearly fifty years and it was
through his immense store of knowledge
in regard to the land system of Texas
that Colonel Baker saved the state about
$14,000 in the lost league matter. But Mr.
Pressler is a very old man and the ardu-
ous labors incumbent on his present desk
are trying on him. He is too valuable on
account of his knowledge to let out of the
service and it was for tills reason that
Colonel Baker wanted to give him the po-
sition of expert at a salary of $1400.

Disappearance of a Mother and Daughter
Laid at Holmes' Door.
Chicago, 111., July 21.—A local paper says:
To the long list of murders and other
crimes directly traceable to the arch
fiend H. II. Holmes must now be added
the mysterious disappearance of Mrs. I.
L. Conner and her 12-year-old daughter,
with a reasonable^certainty that they may
have been disposed of in the same manner
in which the rest of his victims met their
death.
Mrs. Conner and her children were last
seen in the company of Holmes in this city
in 1893. Since then all trace of them has
been lost, and the shrewdest of detectives,
who. at the instigation of the woman's
family, have been working on the case,
are now of the opinion that the finding of
their bodies Is the only possible solution of
the mystery. There are circumstances
which, while at first seeming susceptible
of explanation, now point to another double
murder at the hands of the greatest vil-
lain of modern times.
'Mrs. Conner came originally from Da-
venport, la., where she was married to I.
L. Conner, a jeweler, 15 years ago, prob-
ably in 1880, when she was but 18, though
the exact time is unknown. To them a
child was born in 1830. Conner and his
wife and child, then 7 or 8 years old, came
to Chicago. Holmes at that time was just
beginning to frame the swindles for which
he later became notorious, and had started
a drug and jewelry store in Englewooil.
Conner went to work for Holmes and
moved his family into a flat over the store.
Before long Mrs. Conner and the child dis-
appeared, and no trace of them has since
been found.
The men Injured by the explosion at
Holmes' house yesterday evening were:
Timothy McMuIhan. Joseph Petrelo, Tlios.
Olfert, James Kenyon, Fire Marshal Joseph
Dallack, Thomas Oners, James Meagher
and Edward MoCormack. The first five
men were members of the construction
gang, and all of them were badly though
not fatally burned. The others were fire-
men who were overcome by gas.
An investigation showed that the gas
came from a large cedar tank about fifteen
feet deep and ten feet in diameter. It
was partially filled with a peculiar smell-
ing fluid., the exact nature of which has
not yet been determined. From the sides
of the tank numerous pipes extended, the
ends projecting inside the tank, being care-
fully wrapped in burlaps.
Marshal Kenyon. with several of his
men, descended into the tank to make a
careful examination of it. Within a few
seconds Kenyon called to be taken out. as
the gas was becoming too much for him.
He and his companions were quickly
hauled up, and all of them recovered with-
in a few minutes except Kenyon. He acted
like a crazy man and ran down an allPy
in the rear of the house, shouting and
waving his hands. He was pursued, brought
back and in a short time was himself
again. The opinion was that the tank was
a swindling device of Holmes', who at one
time while living here claimed to have a
now process for the manufacture of gas,
in which he induced several people pos-
sessed of more money than caution to in-
vest. The tank was covered up and further
investigation will be made to-morrow.
EMANUEL CHURCH ill'RDE^S.
Trial of Young Theodore purant to Com-
mence in San Francisco To-day.
San Francisco, Cal., July 21.—Interest in
the horrible Emanuel church murders,
which shocked the whole world, will be
revived to-morrow when the trial of Theo-
dore Durant commences. Last April San
Franciisco was startled by the disco-very
of the outraged bodies of Blanche Lamont
and Minnie Williams, two young members
of the congregation. Suspicion pointed to
Theodore Durant, a young medical stu-
dent and a member cf the church. At the
coroner's inquest and preliminary examina-
tion it was shown that Durant had been
attentive to both girls; that the day
Blanche Lamont disappeared he had been
in her company and that hiter he was seen
in the church, greatly excited and in a
disheveled condition. It was also shown
that he had made an appointment to meet
Minnie Williams on the night she was
murdered, and witnesses will testify that
they saw two people resembling Miss Wil-
liams and Durant enter the church that
evening.
Miss Williams' purse was also found in
Durant's possession after he had been ar-
rested. Durant and his attorneys say that
an alibi can be proven that will shatter
the case as soon as the taking of testimo-
ny begins. It is anticiipated that there will
be considerable difficulty in securing
twelve men in San Francisco competent
under the law to decide Durant's fate.
WATCHING FOR FILIBUSTERS.
Port Townsend, Wash., July 21.—The cus-
toms authorities of the Puget sound district
have been instructed by the government to
keep a sharp lookout for filibustering par-
ties fitting out for the Hawaiian islands. A
few days ago it was reported vessel were
openly loading and freighting to the islands
munitions of war. Orders have now been
issued to closely watch and search all ves-
sels bound to the south sea for aims. It is
believed a large quantity of arms and am-
munition have been smuggled Into .Hawaii
from Puget sound. It is positively known
that secret agents dispatched a small con-
signment to the islands last October.
The iusurgeiits, after being repeatedly
drilled, expect to get their goods and as-
sistance from Puget sound, and may be suc-
cessful if they can evade the customs and
revenue officers.
FOUR MEN KILLED.
Wllliamsport, Mass., July 21.—Four men

ard said editorially yesterday: "The Daily
Mirror and American of Manchester, N.
H., one of the oldest and strongest papers

ed Press. The Mirror and American has
the Standard's eonnraiiulatlons on secur-
ing' a news service that is far superior to
any the world has ever known and that is
constantly advancing. Beside it the
achievements of the Associated Press of
even five years a«o are as spiritless as
those of woulu-be rivals in 1895."

THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS.
Baltimore, Md., July 21.—The following is
the annual address of President Chapman
at the Baptist young people's union con-
vention:
"The.\e words have become a proverb, 'If
you wish to please the parent, notice t'he
children,' and it is true. I suppose no guest
is ^o welcome in a home as the friends of
young people at that home.
"I come once more as your unworthy rep-
res. ntative anel attempt, in my own way,
Altogether Inadequate to the importance «>f
our beloved organization, to (forecast the
■hop 's and ideals of the year to come.
"This is not a man-led organization; there
is no hand strong enough to guide the
mighty f »rce represented here .but the hand
of the divine one cf whoan the spirit said:
'Of the increase of his government there
shall be no end.'
"There is no wisdom great enough to
guide you but the w sdom shining from the
pages i/f this credit book, and so it is meant
that its precepts should furnish our motto
for each new year, and its gleams of truth
point us all .n the highway of effectual ef-
fort for the year to come.
"I would give you for your guiding
thought as we face the duties of the coming
year the words of Christ recorded in John,
viii, 12: "1 am the light of the world.'
"The history of man, let theorists specu-
late as they will, but Intensifies in dark-
ness until the light of Jesus shines upon
it and we find a reason for man's being.
All the hopes and aspirations that d^'tin-
guish man from the lower animals, all the
longing for future life, all the divine qual-
ity that makes progress possible, are prob-
lems unsolved until we read that key to
all our being in the first chapter of Gem-
Sis, 'And God said let us make man in our
own image.'
"Friends, let us deplore in tears of all
our young people, let us deplore the defini-
tion of greatness that makes the feeling
of belligerent armies, the exploration of
( new countries, the discoveries of scientific
t truth, or the attainment of great learning
! a surer attribute of attainment than the
accomplishment of the task that Jesus
J committed to his children. Let no man
suppose that the disposition of the 'new
woman' is the mightiest question that this
generation will be called upon to answer, j
The greatest problem of the age is to be |
solved in your presem e. All Europe I

In books of learning is the only safety.
Education has ever been the faithful hand-
maid of the gospel; enlightened Christian
heart is salt to any community."
YESTERDAY S FIRES.
Nearly Half a Million Dollars Lost Through
a Conflagration in Chicago.
Chicago, 111., July 21.—A fire which start-
er! in the building at 330 and 334 West Polk
street, occupied by the National linseed oil
company and by machine works, early this
morning, was one of the most destructive
which the Chicago lire department has
had to contend with in many months.
Within the immediate vicinity there is a
large lumber yard and numerous manu-
facturing buildings and it was with the ut-
most difficulty that the flames were kept
from spreading to these. Two large tanks
filled with oil In the immediate rear of the
burning building were only kept from
catching fire by the hardest kind of work
cn the part of the firemen. The main
building was totally destroyed and the loss
will reach $100,000 on stock and machinery.
The fire was discovered in the basement
by a watchman who turned in an alarm tout
before the first relay of engines arrived
the entire structure was in dames and ad-
joining property was being threatened. The
origin of the flre is a mystery.
Mrs. John pollweitzer occupied the build-
ing adjoining the burned structure and at
the time of the fire was confined to her bed
with typhoid fever. She was carried to a
place of safety by the firemen, but it is
feared the shock will prove' fatal.
It is thought the insurance will nearly
cover the loss by tho linseed oil company.
Four engines were on the scene all ni«ht
and to-day the linseed oil building was still
burning.
THE MELTON PLACE.
Navasota, Grimes Co., Tex., July 21.—

garments. The place -was known as the
Melton place and was one of the old ones.

yellow fever in 1807 than any other house
here.
WERE THE BOYS INFLUENCED?
Father of the Two Lads Who Murdered
Their Mother in London Hears of It.
New York. July 21.—The National line
steamship France, Captain Headley, ar-
rived in port this morning from London
after a moderate passage of sixteen days.

father, of the two boys, Robert and Na-
thaniel, who stabbed their mother to death
at her home in Plaistow, an eastern suburb
of London, on July 10. On her arrival at
Quarantine at 10.30 this morning an Asso-
ciated Press reporter boarded the France
and talked with Mr. Coombs. He said he
had always lived on the best of terms with
his wife and the boys at their comfortable
home at Plaistow. His wife had always
been a good and kind mother to her chil-
dren and he was at a loss to understand
how they could attempt the dreadful crime.
He was positive that a man named Fox
had some hand in the deed. It was evident
that both boys had been influenced by him.
It was learned that the man is a ne'er-do-
well and had been employed on steamers
of the National line. Fox was on good
terms with the boys and had frequently
spent much time at their home. Recently
Mr. Coombs had forbidden him to visit his
home.
