San Antokic, Tex., March 25.— Grand Mas-
tor C. E. Wilkinson of the Ordor of Railway
Trainmen, arrived here to-day from Denver,
in response to a telegram from the local
grievance committee complaining of the rela-
tions of tho orde.' with the San Antonio and
Aransas Pass railway. No conference having
yet been held between Wilkinson and the
committee no developments have yet grown
out of the situation.
Houston Budget.
Houstoh, Tex., March 25.—The Houston
and Texas Central receivership question, which
has been let drag slowly along tho past three
days, was revived somewhat to-day whon it
was announoed that a new receiver had been
appointed. A News man investigated tho
matter thoroughly, but could, find no one who
knew whether such was a fact, but many ad-
mitted that they had heard it. The report
created no littlo amount, of excitement among
railroaders, and had the boys gueBsmg for a
while.

railuoadehfl' social movement.
A number of railroaders residing in tho
Fifth ward are endeavoring to organi/.o a so-
cial club and with this ond in view will issuo a
call for a meeting to be held soon. Those
having the affair in charge are working hard
for its success and say the new organization
will start out with a large membership. It la
proposed in addition to tho club proper to
rent a suitable hail and establish a gym-
nasium, where the members will have a
chanco to recreate during their leisure hours.
The movement is meeting with mucn en-
couragement and bids fair to assume a tangi-
ble shape.
receiver nowe'ti report.
Colonel M. G. Ilowe has filed with District
Clerk Watiea his report of tho condition of the
Houston East and Vv'est Texas railway at the
time the road was turned over to receivers
recently appointed by Judge Brashear. The
report ia quite extensive and accounts tor

Howe's management of the road and also
gives a full and minute description of all
properties belonging to the road, their condi-
tion and whero they can be found.
travel oveb the tebminal.
Of late travel over tho Volasco terminal rail-
way has been exceedingly heavy and to-day
particularly a large crowd of people left for
various points along the line. The travelers
aro mainly northern and eastorn parties on a
tour of inspection over the state. Quite a
party went to Velasco this morning and upon
returning hero will visit Galvoston.
lively times at the shops.
Those who complain of dull times in Hous-
ton need only to visit the shops of the South-
ern Pacific and Houston and Texas Central
railways located in this city to have their
doubts dispelled in this direction.
Both of these shops are running on full
time and have as much work on band at pres-
ent as they can possibly attend to. Engines
are being repaired, coaohes rebuilt, and :n
fact everything is being done to improve tho
rolling stock of both roads. The character of
work turned out here may be truthfully said
to equal the finest of its kind in the country.
THE HOrSTON EAST and west's affaiu0.
Matters relative to tho Houston East and
West Texas railway have been particularly
quiot for tho past few days. The successor to
Mr. Buckingham, the assistant train dis-
patcher of tho road, who resigned a few days
ago to accept a position with the Denver and
Rio Grande, has not as yet boon named.
Local Agent Gentry has made no changes
in his working force, and will, in all proba
bility, not do so.
Both Receivers Appleby and Downey aro
eral points along the lino, and it is supposed
the reported sale of the Capitol granite quar-
ries between hero and Marble Falls to Coll is
}». Huntington is a certainty, and that the
road is being put 111 better condition to move
the granite, as no doubt it will be more exten-
sively developed. ______

Waco, Tex., March 25.-D. Chambers, Jas.
Bible and II. Holt, a committee appointed, on
the part of the brakemen of the Texas Cen-
tral railway, who went out on a strike last
Wednesday, arrived in Waco this afternoon
and laid the grievanco of the strikers before
General Manager Charts Hamilton aud Super-
intendent Josaph McWilliams.
Tho committed showed irregular methods
viewed from the standpoint of the strikers,
that is to say non-obsorvanco of rules adopted
on other roads favoring brakemen, and alter
discussion a compromise was reached by
which all the strikers will return to work to-
morrow, and the strike was declared oil. I o-
morrow morning the trains will resume run-
ning as usual. ______
World's Fair Rates.
Chicago, 111., March 25.-The presidents of
all Chicago roads to-day settled on worlu s

with the probabilities in favor of the former.

goods in small boxes.
Almost any sort of candy except gum drops
(which aro cheap specialties) and a feiv fancy
goods, such as marshmallows (which are
made in factories devoted exclusively
to this work) aro made in this
factory. Tho whole truth of tho matter is,
there is nothing south of St. Louis which ap-
proaches this Galvoston enterprise in com-
pleteness. Moreover, the goods are sold at
New York prices, which counts with the Texas
trade when Ireight is considered. The daily
capacity is about 6000 pounds, and the present
force is thirty-five, which will be increased to
fifty tiie coming week.
About 90 per cent of all the candies now sold
by Galveston dealers are made in this city,
and the New York purchases have been re-
duced to about 10 per cent of what they were
a year ago.
The Charity Ball:
The Protestant and Israelitish orphan homo
has more little orphans within its care at
present than at any previous date in its his-
tory and therefore the lady managers require
more funds than ever before to provide for
the little motherless children confided to their
charge.
It is is for this purpose the charity ball is
giveu—to raise money to purchase food and
clothing, the accessaries of life—and every
father and mother will no doubt contribute
their mite toward this laudable cause.
The charity ball will be given at Harmony
hall on April 4, tickets for which are now on
sale at ueariy all tho retail stores in Galves-
ton.

Another Big Barge for Galveston Jetty
Work—Crowded With Orders.
Orange, Tex., March 25.—There has been
no let up in tho activity among tho lumbor
shippers this week. The long string of cars
and the busy loaders in every mill yard day
after day oilers a sight that is almost pictu-
resque. It at least impresses ono with tho fact
that there is robust life in the lumbor
market, and that Orange will maintain her
place in tho front rank among the manufactu-
rers of this great staple. The immense in-
crease in tho capacity of the mills at this
place has not been equal to the rapid growth
of the demand for their product, and it is not
uncommon for tho order files to become as
badly crowded to-day as it was when tho out-
put was 50 per cent less than it is now.
Tho shipments by water have been lighter this
week than any week during the past two
months, duo to the want 01 light
draught schooners. Freight rates are
good, and millmen havo made inquiry
at various ports for idle vessels, but
to no elfoet. No new sails havo entered
the trade, and-the effect has been to greatly
mconvenienco the shippers on cargoes now

cline orders that could not havo quick dis-

Local Boat Club® Getting in Trim for the
Austin Regatta.
Since the announcement of the interna-
tional regatta, which will be givon by the citi-
zens of Austin early in June, on the occasion
of the dedication of the dam, Galveston's row-
ing clubs have risen to the occasion and aro
quite active in their preparations, overhauling
their shells, varnishing and polishing up for
tho event. , ,
The members of the Island City boating
club, which is ono of the finest in the coun-
try, aro organizing crows and scullers,
and wiil spare no expense in sending up ma-
terial to compete with the best. Captain J.
N. Stowe is heart and soul with the boys, and
says that he will leave nothing undone to
secure that recognition for the Island City
boating club which its standing as an organ-
ization of the highest social order merits.
This is said to be ono of the best equipped
clubs in tho country, and in point of boats of
tho most approved and» handsome style it has
few equals.
The Galveston rowing club are also go'ngto
lend a hand to make the regatta a success. A
visit to tho boat house last evening found some
of the old members as busy as bees, scraping
und getting in trim their cedar shell, the win-
ner of a groat many hard earned races. Cap-
tain Baker is actively engaged supervising the
work, and has appointed three new men, all
of whom wiil have to be trained to
shell rowing, none of tho old crew being avail-
able now. The old crew of the Galveston
rowing club can claim tho proud distinction
of defeating a northern crew who had rowed
tho fastest two-mil® race on record, lhe
names of tho famous crew are : John Crotty,
L. P. Dignon, B. P. Allen and E. J. Baker.
An unusual interest is bring taken in
aquatic events this year in Galveston, and
those who are going into the Austin regatta
say that they intend pulling their souls out in
order to earn place.

A Model Factory Which Is Located in Gal-
veston.
Yesterday the Galveston fruit importing and
trading company formally started up its now
candy manufacturing plant.
The room where the candy making is car-
ried on is 84x140 feet.
Four hundred and fifty pounds of sugar are
put into a largo copper boiler and quickly
made into syrup. ,
Close to the syrup kettle Btands tho latest
improved hand made copper vacuum candy
boiler. This is a large globular, air tight ma-
chine, provided with thermometer, test rods,
gauges, etc. It is connected with an air
pump. When the syrup in the open kettle has
reached a certain heat a lever is raised and it
is sucked into the vacuum boiler through a
2K-inch pipe. When all the syrup has been
sucked up the boiler is closed and the pump
exhausts the air. Then steam is turned on,
and twenty minutes from the time the sugar
is dumped into tho syrup kettle it comes out
of the vacuum boiler candy, ready for worlt-
lCfho big batch of raw candy is then dis-
tributed among the workers, each of whom
has two tquare marble tables. Stoaui tables
are provided so that iho candy may be kei:t
warm enough to work, and it is hauled on
hooks, rolled, pulled out and worked until it
ia made into sticks and bits of all shapes aud
colors. , ,
Some of the fancy stick work done is beau-
tiful. Imagine a stick of sugar candy
through which runs a rose, so skillfully made
that wherever the candy is cut, the flower is
perfect. That is done daily in this factory.

Waterworks Test.
Hcntsviixk, Tex., March 25.—A test of the
waterworks system around tho public square
was made yesterday afternoon by the tiro de-
partment and proved most satisfactory. Tho
standpipo prcssuro was first tried and throw
water easily to the roof of tho court house.
Then the direct steam pressure wbb put on and
the top of the cupola reached. When the
water was turned 011 adjacont stores its force

The ^Revolution Is Dead.
Havana, Tex., March 24.—The district court
closed in this county March 18. The grand

minor crimes, theft of cattle, ten-dollar

class of tho Mexican population has beon poor
indeed. Many days ha»o they pBised hearing
their littlo ones crying with hunger, arid it is
surprising that there are so fow eases of rob-
