THE GALVESTON DAILY SEWS. FRIDAY. MARCH 15, 1895
STORIES OF THE SEA.
An
Old Pilot Tells a Story of the
Burning Off Galveston of the
City of Waco.
PILOT WOLFE'S LAST BOARD.
Thrilling Rescue of a Sinking Schooner's
Crew—Rough Voyage of the Ship Milton
Stuart—Maritime Miscellany.
Thf» story of the rescue of the crew of
the British ship Adriana, as published in
The News yesterday, was a popular theme
of discussion in marine circles during the
day. It seems now that the ship did not
part her cables, but slipped her shackle
pin and drifted ashore during a fog early
In the night. Soon after the ship took the
beaoh a gale sprang up from the southeast,
which drove the ship further and further
upon the beach, and finally broke her up.
The pilot boat Eclipse played an important
part in the rescue of the Adriana's crew,
and the way she handled in the breakers
that Sunday morning won the admiration
of all all who saw her. While an old pilot
was telling the ancient mariner this story
Captain Scrimgeour loomed up in the star-
board offing with his course set west by
south three-quarters west down Strand.
"Do you see that man there?" said the
pilot, pointing to his partner across the
way. "Well, whenever I talk about wrecks
and see him it reminds me of the lucky
chance which kept his bones from Davy
Jones' locker. You know pilots take turn
about in boarding vessels and bringing
•them in, where they are cruising for ships
off s'hore. The New York ship City of
Waco, was duo. and it was the evening of
November 8. 1876. It was Captain Wolfe's
first board, when along comes a little down-
east schooner called the Kate Miller. She
set her jack for a pilot, and Captain Wolfe,
whose turn it was to board her, called out
'to Captain Scrimgeour and asked him if
he would mind boarding the schooner and !
let him (Captain Wolfe) wait for the New
York boat. You see it was this way: Wolfe
•and Captain Green man of the Waco were
old churns and great cronies. The voyage
•before the Waco had got into some sort of
a scrape which was kicking up a bit of
gossip, and the pilot wanted to go aboard
and talk the thing over with Captain
Greenman. Well, Captain Scrimgeour, he
•boards the schooner and brings her into
port, and pretty soon we made out the
•City of Waco and runs down to her.
Wolfe he got into the dory and boarded
her. The ship was a bit late in getting up
to the 'bar. and by the time she was up to
a crossing the tide was running out and
she could not get in. So she just let go
her anchor to lay to until next tide. There
were forty vessels outside that night, and
pretty soon a gale of wind was blowing
from the northwest. The gale blew great
guns, and about 11 o'clock that night a
sheet of flame shot up from the forward
part of the Waco. How it happened no
one ever knew. Not a soul escaped to tell
•the tale, though the body of poor Wolfe
was afterward picked up afloat by the
crew of a German bark. His friendship for
Captain Greenman and his desire to see
him are responsible for his terrible fate,
and without that little incident, unimport-
ant in itself, but terrible in its conse-
quences, Captain Scrimgeour might have
been at the bottom of the sea. No man
ever had a closer shave than he did on
that occasion, 'the terrors of which will
never be forgotten by those who were here
at that time."

A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
Captain E. Norton of the wrecked schoon-
er John M. Moore, who recently arrived at
Norfolk on the Georgie L. Dickson, tells a
graphic story of the wreck of hie vessel and
the heroic efforts made to rescue the men.
He says: "The Moore sailed from Bruns-
wick, Ga., January 29 for Philadelphia, and
when a few miles north of 'Hatteras en-
countered tempestuous weather, which con-
tinued untiil all hands were rescued on Feb-
ruary 16. The sufferings of the crew were
Intense, the weather beting bitterly cold and
provisions short. On the morning of the
15th of February the Moore spoke the
schooner John «H. Cannon, which lost a
man 'in attempting to rescue us. Finding
that they could not send a boat to us on
account of the heavy wind and sea, the
(Moore put a hawser out astern with an oil
barrel as buoy. The Cannon lay to until
after dark trying to pick it up, and, finding
that 4t was impossible to reach It, had to
8uM away. (During the night signals of dis-
tress were set and the Oeorg « L Dickson
nvn» spoken, which lay to until morning, by
which time the *ea had somewhat gone
clown. We were then taken off in a boat
from the other schooner. The Moore was
in a sinking condition when the captain and
anate left her. iDurtng the biiznrd all the
men were more or less froz* n. on the res-
cuing schooner Georgie L. Dickson one sea-
man, Edwin Smith, a native of Sweden,
was wa»h«d overboard Two eth-
ers were badly Injured, one having his arm
broken. The mate, Archie McKinnon, was
washed through the scuppers twice, the first
time going feet tirst and 'bringing up at the
arm-pits; the second time going clear
through. He eoon caught hold of the boom
pennant, however, which w&s hanging over-
board, and pulled himself on deck."

Beaumont with the barges Olive, Mona and
(Hattie in tow. arrived yesterday. They are
loaded with 12,000 railroad ties for the Gulf
and Interstate railway.
NO ARRESTS MADE

have been made in consequence of the
lynching of the murderers of A. J. Hixson.
The bodies of the two missing Italians
have not been found. The bodies of three
Italians are at the undertaker's awaiting
directions from the county authorities as
to the disposition of them. Citizens gen-
erally censure the shooting of the prison-
ers and especially of the wounded man
who gave himself up. It Is not known
Whether any of the Italians who were
•lynched were Americans. The Italians here
do not talk of retaliation, though the feel-
ing among them is intense.
» TEMPLE'S ALDERMEN.
Temple, Bell Co., Tex., March 14.~Tem-
ple's aldermen have announced for re-elec-
tion. The hold-overs do so under protest
and refused to resign their positions. They
hold that if re-elected their acts will be
legal from whatever standpoint they may
be viewed, and that by resigning it would
be to acknowledge the illegality of their
present position. The Santa Fe railroad is
well represented in candidates. Engineers
R. T. Fleming and John Magnihan are
running for aldermen from the First ward,
Night Fireman Jerry Fisher retires as
alderman from the Third ward and Fore-
man of Car Shops J. T. Booth announces
for re-election from the Third ward.

most disastrous fires in the history of this
city broke out at midnight. The Immense
buildfng of the Trading Commercial com-
pany was, with a large stock of goods,
completely destroyed. The loss will prob-
ably reach $150,000. There is about $60,000
insurance. J. S. & A. M. Watkins' store,
adjoining the Trading building, was
crushed like an eggshell by the falling
walls and the stock is buried under the
ruins. Four men were injured. James Fos-

If any stray mavericks are found grazing
on the commons the finder is requested to
notify Secretary R. P. Woodbury of the
Kansas City stock exchange. Mr. Wood-
bury was the responsible head of a lot of
Kansas City stockmen who were in the city
yesterday. These gentlemen did things out
of the common during their stay here and
were hardly responsible for leaving any-
thing behind. They had been in attendance
upon the cattlemen's convention at Fort
Worth and, hearing of the realization of
•the hopes of this city in securing eighteen
feet of water over the bar, concluded to do
a little investigating on their owji hook, and
took a flying trip dowm to the city by the
gulf. Another party of gentlemen bound on
the same errand happened to be on the
same train. They occupied Receiver Frank
Trumbull's private car and were from Colo-
rado, Wyoming and the Dakotas. But if
any representative body of men think they
will ruin into Galveston and find the citizens
here napping, they are mistaken. Mr. Julius
Runge, president of the Galveston cotton
exchange, was in attendance upon the Fort
Worth convention, and, as soon as he heard
of the move on Galveston, telegraphed Sec-
retary McMaeter of the chamber of com-
merce. Mr. .MoMaster received the wire too
late to do anything Wednesday night, con-
sequently. when the S.40 iSanta Fe passenger
train arrived yesterday morning with the
visitors, there was no one at the depot to
bid them welcome. The mills of the gods
may grind slowly, but not tso with the mi'lle
of Galveston hospitality. While the gentle-
men who devote their time to the business
of furnishing the world with meat were
testing the culinary skill of the chef of the
Tremont hotel, a number of local public
spirited men were arranging for a tug with
which to take the visitors out to the jetties,
and others were preparing to store the lar-
der of said tug with those things necessary
to prevent land lubbers from gettiing sea-
sick Before the visitors could scatter, a
Galveston gentleman had bid them be at
the wharf at 11 o'clock, and at the appoint-
ed hour, as merry a party as ever paced the
deck of the Cynthia were steaming out over
the green waters of Galveston bay toward
the jetties and the bar, vvhioh is so rapidly
being dissolved by the action of the current
created by the government work. 'Messrs.
Ladd, Cu'llum and Adriance. who accom-
panied the visitors, explained fully the ac-
tion of the jetties, pointed out the lightship,
the buoys in the channel and other matters
of interest.
The tug reached the landing on the re-
turn from the trip at half-past 1 o'clock,
and took electric cars at Twenty-first ami
Mechanic for the B#ach hotel.
The cool, white-capped waves of the Gulf
of Mexico breaking on the piers of the
bathing pavilion and dying away in little
ripples on the level beach were a greater
attraction than the lunch to many of the
visitors and they made haste to doff their
heavy woolen garments and don bathing
suits. The greater portion of the party,
however, first partook of Manager Simon's
refreshments and then strolled down the
beach In a cloud of smoke from the weed
which will ever be linked with the name of
Sir Walter Raleigh. When they saw their
companions tumbling over the breakers or
racing up and down the beach in the warm
sunshine, and heard the stories of the ex-
hilarating sport from their lips, they hesi-
tated, inquired as to the effects of bathing
after eating, then hunted up the man with
the little bath houses on wheels for let,
and were soon getting flushed counten-
ances from among the white-topped waves.
At half-past 3 o'clock two open electric
cars were filled with the happy, light-
hearted crowd and they were taken to the
Garten verein. After wandering around
over that popular place of pleasure, the
cars were run to Woollam's lake. It was
the intention of the committee in charge to
have shown the city to the strangers, but
time forbade. At the lake an oyster roast,
an oyster roast such as only Galveston pre-
pares, was in waiting. Barrels and bags of
the bivalves, dripping with salt water,
were shoveled on to the ibig railroad irons,
red hot from the lire underneath. A little
way removed was a small mountain of the
same sea fruit upon which two men were
working, filling bucket after bucket with
the slippery contents of the shells.
Then the guests were provided with rags
and knives and were initiated into the art
of opening a red-hot oyster without burn-
ing the hand or amputating a finger. When
they tired of eating oysters roasted, they
tried them raw, fried, broiled—every way
known to t'he inhabitants of an oyster
country. These oysters were washed down
with amber fluid with foamy crest and cof-
fee which the caterers at Woollam's lake
excel in making.
After the guests had consumed as many
oysters as they could stow away they be-
gan hunting around for some one to ex-
press their thanks in a proper manner and
fell upon Mr. Frank Cooper, who made one
of the best speeches ever made at the lake.
Mr. Cooper is a member of the linn of
Offutt, Elmore & Cooper, livestock com-
mission merchants of Kansas City. He
a director of the Kansas City Times, a di-
rector in the Kansas City, Pittsburg and
Gulf railroad, now heading for Texas, and
is largely interested in many Kansas City
institutions. At the last election he was
the democratic candidate for mayor of the
city at the mouth of the Kaw and made
a good race, being defeated by the repub-
lican aspirant for mayoralty honors, Air.
Davis.
Mr. Cooper was received with applause
when he mounted a bench and removed
his hat. He said that his party made an-
nual visits to Texas on the occasion of the
Texas cattlemen's conventions. They come
for their own personal benefit. Many of
their number had large interests In Texas.
| The trip to Galveston was taken that they
might see with their own eyes the progress
being made in south Texas. They had not
expected to be entertained, mych loss to be
received with such lavish hospitality. He
thought Kansas City people knew a thing
or two about entertaining, but when he re-
turned he would advise those who looked
after that part of public work to come to
Galveston and study the primer of hospi-
tality. He asked the gentlemen who had
showered favors upon them to come to
Kansas City and he would bid them wel-
come on behalf of the stock exchange and
the commercial club. Mr. Cooper spoke of
the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf rail-
, way as a Kansas City line headed for the
1 gulf. Mr. Cooper dkl not say that his line
i was coming to Galveston, but he wanted
very much to do so. A few more oysters
would probably have made him commit
•the road to Galveston. He said, however,
that Kansas City expected to send her
products for export to Galveston and
would Import her foreign goods through
this port. He saw no reason why the
Rocky mountain country should send its
goods to New York and Baltimore when
they now had a direct outlet at their very
door. After again thanking the citizens of
Galveston on behalf of the delegates from
Kansas City, Denver and the northwest
for their never to be forgotten hospitality,
iii.- gentleman stepped from the bench and
cheers were given for Galveston.

The party in the car t»f Mr. Frank Trum-
bull, receiver of the Union Pacific, Denver
and Gulf, is another chapter of the same
story. There are fourteen gentlemen in this
car, in charge of Mr. J. 1). Shuford, gen-
eral livestock agent of that line, and one
of the most genial and 'best posted men in
his line. Mr. Shuford was picked up out
of a small Colorado boom town several
years ago by the Missouri Pacific, and he
has gradually been climbing the ladder
ever since. He is a Georgian by birth, but
a Coloradoan by choice. When Mr. Shuford
is in charge of a party there is no neces-
sity of accident insurance. One of the
chief members of the party from the
mountain ranges is Mr. George Ballentine,
„eneral manager of the Denver union
stockyards, who is accompanied by his

directly to Denver. The Kansas City party
go to Houston on the News train and from
there to San Antonio and Fort Worth;
then home via the Rock Island, where they
will arrive Sunday. The two cars were
pulled to Galveston through the courtesy
of the Santa Fe.
GALVESTON'S BRILLIANT FUTURE.
"Galveston is certainly one of the most
attractive cities in the south and from a
commercial standpoint has a very brilliant
future before it," remarked Mr. Eugene
Rust, the general superintendent of the
Kansas City stock yards. "With a safe,
land-locked harbor, large enough to accom-
modate the shipping of the world, and the
near prospect for sufficient depth of water
on the bar to allow vessels of the deepest
draught to enter, there can be no question
but that this is to be the chief ocean out-
let for the vast commerce of the southwest.
"Yes, our party is made up principally of
the representatives of the live stock indus-
try at our market, though we have with
us also some of the officers of our banking
institutions and of our Commercial club.
Kansas City, as a live slock market, has
enjoyed unusual prosperity the past four
years. Texas realizes that it is the natural
and best market for her stock, our in-
crease of trade from this state showing a
handsome gain each year. Our receipts
of cattle from Texas for January and Feb-
ruary, 1894, were 13.994, while for the corre-
sponding time in 1895 they were 32,449. What
do 1 think about prices this season? My
opinion is that the market will remain
active and strong, with an upward tend-
ency, . all through the year, as with an
estimated shortage of from 000,000 to 750,000
head at the western markets and the great-
ly improved industrial conditions prevail-
ing throughout the country can not but re-
sult in an active demand for the offerings.
Our company has expended something over
$1,250,000 for land and Improvements to our
yards the past year, while our packing
houses are constantly extending their fa-
cilities and enlarging their trade. I should
not be surprised to see the bulk of their
export product pass through Galveston

THE VISITING SOLONS
SOME REJECTED BILLS.
Governor Renfrew Refuses to Sign Some of
the Legislature's Acts.
Guthrie, Ok., March 14.—The time allowed
Governor Renfrew to sign bills passed by
the legislature expired to-day. He has
signed forty-three bills since the adjourn-
ment Saturday morning and allowed six to
fail by refusing to sign them. Among re-
jected bills is council bill No. 45. It provides
that in any case tried by the court withbut
the aid of a jury it shall not be necessary
to file a motion for a new trial in order
to have the supreme court review the case
upon application, and ail causes heretofore
tried where no such motion is made can
be appealed. This bill was supposed to
cover certain private cases. Also house
bill No. 250, providing for making streets
and alleys through college grounds. Also
house bil! No. 87, to establish the agricul-
tural college at Stillwater. The bill pro-
vides for. nine regents and changes the
general governing power, and the gov-
ernor believed it would make an impracti-
cable and unwieldy board. Also house bill
No. 171, conferring equal civil rights on
all, irrespective of class. This bill was
very obnoxious to all politicians and was
not asked for by the better class of ne-
groes. Also house bill 190, giving probate
courts jurisdiction of divorce cases. This
knocks out the divorce lawyers and com-
pels persons seeking divorces to come into
the district court in open session instead
of allowing them to get divorces on the
quiet any day in the week before some
out of the way probate judge. Also house
bill No. 80, establishing a herd law
throughout the territory and abolishing
free range fo cattle everywhere. The last
bill has a history attached that may get
somebody into trouble. It passed the
house, came to the council, and was con-
sidered in the committee of the whole,
from which it was never lifted. It was en-
rolled, however, just as though it had
passed, and as such it was signed by the
president of the council and speaker of the
house and found its way to the governor.
In reading its history the governor found
a flaw that made him send for the original.
Comparing them, he found that the en-
grossed copy had a line and a half added.
It was also developed that (luring the last
night house bill 255, providing for the es-
tablishment of a fiscal agency of the ter-
ritory in New York city was stolen, after
being signed by the president of the sen-
ate and speaker of the house, and a thor-
ough investigation has been ordered.
UNCLE SAM TO TAKE A HAND.
Guthrie, Ok., March 14.—Consternation
was created in political circles to-day by
the summoning of a score or more of leg-
islative clerks to appear before the United
States commissioner. Many clerks who
served only several weeks of the session
put in bills and drew pay for .the whole
sixty days. This has been customary in
the other Oklahoma assemblies, and as
the money comes out of the United States
treasury, the department has ordered an
investigation and the bringing of indict-
ments against the guilty parties. It is
also alleged that the grand jury will in-
vestigate how it was that certain members
secured private secretaries at the govern-
ment's expense, the formation of county
seat moving combines and the theft of
certain important bills during the last
hotirs of the session.
AN ACQUITAL ORDERED.
Tyler, Tex., March 14.—Yesterday Ike
Hawkins, a white man, was tried in the
district court for bigamy. The facts de-
veloped In the case were as follows: Sev-
eral years ago he married Mrs. Belle Hop-
kins, whom he supposed to be a widow.
After living happily with Mrs. Hopkins
for more than a year her former hus-
band, who was thought to be dead, made
his appearance, whereupon Hopkins sepa-
rated from the woman, and husband No.
1 again assumed his place as head of tte
family. Later on Hawkins married a
young lady and located near Bullard, in
this county. For this marriage he was ar-
rested and charged with bigamy. The
grand jury sustained the charge by re-
turning a true bill. The above facts hav-
ing been developed in the trial yesterday
Judge McCord instructed the jury to re-
turn a verdict of not guilty on the ground
that Hawkins* last marriage was valid,
and that his marriage to Mrs. Hopkins
was void.

mittee were called for. It developed that

562 shares now taken—$5620. As $10,000 had
been formerly designated as the be-
ginning stock capital, It was decided that
the solicitors should have another week
for their work before effecting perma-
nent organization. The meeting adjourned
to assemble again on the 22d of this month.

DR. A. H. H. TOLAR'S CANDIDACY.
Alvin, Brazoria Co., Tex., March 14.—Dr.
A. H. H. Tolar, In a letter written from
Austin, states that the "financial condi-
tion of the county Is such that a respecta-
ble representation could not be had In a
oonventlon, and the result would be the
nomination of the choice of a very few
in the vicinity where the convention would
be held. I do not think the democrats
who have the best interests of the party
at heart will favor the convention." He
therefore announces that his candidacy
for the office of senator from the Seven-
teenth district, to succeed Senator Crow-
ley, Is subject to the vote of the people at
the polls, and not to any convention that
could be sprung at this late day.
Tyler, Tex., March 14.—1There are now
three candidates for mayor of Tyler,

W. Butler. Everything speaks for a live-
