of watermelons to Kansas City, St. Louis
and other distant points in and oat of the
state, over the defendant road, at $S0 per
car. That the defendant failed ia several
it stances to make delivery of thewater-
d elcns intiu&ted to it, allowing numbers
to be sto^n. numbering in all about 8651,
worth $lc(H aticl for which the defendant
road is'justly indebted to petitioner. Peti-
tioner further represents that in addition to
the sum of $80 per car for the shipments,
he waf forced to pay by defendant tha sum
(.1> 'therefore petitioner claims dam-
ages in the sum of $".000, for which he prays
judgment. The case came up for hearing
yesterday but was continued,

There were two special judges presiding
in Ihe Galveston courts yesterday. In the

presided in the place of Judge Gustave

rhsiged bfnc.bes temporarily, Jadge Kit-
tiell being disqualified in certain cases thtt
will come' up before his court in Madi3on

is probable that the esses will t>a appealed.
3 brown Out of Court.
The Sunday law got a very decided blank
eye yesterday in the criminal conrt, when
some twertj-five or thirty cases appealed
from Jnstice Wyer's court down tse island
were thrown out of court for Irregul trities
and for insufficiency of cause. Tbesa were
arrests raade bv Constable Kaehl»T, and
the action of the criminal court raa? ce con-
Ftruea by some as -a rebuke to uis over-
zealous action in endeavoring to enforce
the law. Constable ivtaaiiier is thooffiier
who endeavored to stop the Sunday pubti-
cstion of The News as a violation of the
Sunday law. Among the appeal ca?es
that were tried yesterday ware
those of a number of laborers who
were arrested for working after 12 o'clock
Saturday night at the oil mill, ail or whom
were fined In Justice Weyer's court. Judga
Kittrell held that this was a work of neces-
sity. and under his instructions the jary re-
turned verdicts of not gailty. There were
also a number of appealed cases of railroal
laborers, wherein Constable Kaahler had
made the arrests and Justice VVeper im
posed the tUes for working on Sunday.
These were all thrown out o£ court on a
nolle prosequi, upon the ruling of the conrt
that railroads were specially exempt under
the statute. There were also a aumber of
cases for sailing liquor on Sunday, whicn
Constable Kaehler had taken down tha
island for trial and which, after
being fined had appeated, and their
cases were also thrown out of court o *lag
to the incorrect drawing of the affidavit.
The case of McCianahan & Schoolfiatd,
druggists, for selling cigars oaSaaday,
was also nol prosequied, aa C.instable
Kaehler had charged in the affidavit that
they were keeping open on Sunday, 'which
the law gives them the right to do. Thus
every ca'ee of the energetic constable was
thrown oat of court, making his effort la
this direction a case of love's labor lost.

Lizzie Evans in Our 4ngel.
Miss Lizzie Evans, who for many saasons
past has been a prime favorite in Galves-
ton, appeared last night at the Train out
opera-house in her near play entitled Oar
Angel. Miss Evans is unquestionably a
most piquant aad fascinating soubret. She
is vivacious and natural la her every ac-
tion and is trniy the sunbeam that sh6 is
pictured to be in the rough and ragged
plays that she selects for her repartoiro.
Recognizing the fact that musical accom-
plishments Bnd timble feet are becoming
to be necessary accessories to a thorough-
ly ecjuipped "soubret star, Miss Evaas
has greatlv improved har musical
aEd dancing accomplishments since
her last visii to Galveston, but In her aothig
there is littto room tor improvement, ana la
this she remains the sama attractive little
creature that is pictured upon the mamory
of all who remember her as Chip ia Fogg's
Ferry. She has the same bewitohing laugh,
and her nature is as full of humor, pataos
and sentiment as ever, with her hoydealsh
ways marked quite as clearly la contrast
with the finer teelings of a aobls nature.
The lew play Is so arranged as toaffird
ample scope for the display of her varsatile
Hid peculiar genius, tt was written es-
pecially for her, and while the character of
Blossom Jennings, Our Ang?;, is modeled
after Chip in Fojg's Ferry, the play itself
has not the same merit. It was built apoa
a model especially to fit a singla char-
acter, and while fa this it succeeds ad-
mirably, the role of Blossom Jennings is
ehiseied out to fit Miss Evaas to a
nicety, this being tha prime motive to
which all eiee was made subservient, the
play itself lacks originality and that
tstrergth of situations characteristic of tae
play of Fogg's Ferry, in which Miss E /aus
mafie her reputation. It Is a western play,
but without (hat preponderance ot blood
and thur-der element generally characters
tic of etich productions. It is in fact more
refined than the general run of saoh ptays,
with pistols and bcwles generally kept la
the back ground, to which place 13 assigned
tl e only Hurt er tlat figures in tha plot. It
is more' refined in fact than soma or the in
terpoiations that Alias Evans seeks to inject
in her specialty work. The scaae is 1 >■
cated in a California iniatng camp, aul a
sweet and tender love story forms the plot,
vith a series of iacidents aad adventures
to give it coloring. Miss Evans
in Oar Argel is the untutorsd child
of the Sierras, the sunbeam of the
camp, lovely and bright in natural iutelll
ttnee, but nevoid of the refluennent of more
civilized life—is a diamond in the rough.
Her father, a drunken vagabond, Is mur-
dered bv a villain relatives who t.akea this
step to secure Blossom and har fortune, but
in this he is thwarted by Jack Kenyoo, the
tero of the piay, the friend or Blossom's
father ar d a true and loyal mac, who lovas
tha artless Blossom, and provides for her
op her protector. Both love eacu otuar ar-
dentlv, but are each tortured by the thought
that ihe love is bat filial and paternal. Tae
villain secures the aid of a city chap, wish
the address and bearing o? a gentleman, to
act as a go between, and thus la professlag
love for Blossom seeks to poisoa her
mind against Jack Kanyon. telltug
her that he loves .anotnor. Tna story
here grows pathetic, where Blossom, when
under the inspired belief that her idol *od
protector loves another leaves him, masiug
him a present of all of her fortunn. tom
reconciliation, explanation and vaoqaisu
irgof the villains forms ma happy deuo la-
ment.
The company supporting Miss Evans,
while not particularly brilliant, curry r.oeir
parts smoothly enonfih to give aalaterest
tng performance to those whose demands
jalhis regard are rot tooextravagaat. Mr.
Donaldson makes a very acceptable Jack

sioner, General S. H. Hurst, has made

commission"* instigation of baking pow-
der. This coimission was formed by the
legislature, wjih iistraclions to make an
e^i.miration of the food supply of the state,
and to give a report of such examination to
the public. The examination of the baking
powders ws>a mace by Professor H. A.
Weber, state chemist, and, relating as it
does tosn aiticie of daily use iu the food
of almost every one, is of particular inter-
est.
The rather startiirg fact Is brought out
by the report that of the thirty different
brands cf bstiug powder analyzed, com-
posing about toil those sold in the state,
twenly of thim are made from alnm, a
substance declared by the highest medical
uiithciitj to be Injurious to health when
used in focd.
'Ihe commieflorer classifies the baking
pcwdtrs into three general divisions, ac-
cording to their valr.e:
1. Cream of tartar baking powders;
■2 Phosphate baking powders;
3. Aium baking powders.
The object ot baking powders is, when
nixtdinthe Sour and eubjecl8d to niois-
iv.ie, to gtnerato a leavening gas in the
Cough, which will raise ihe bread and cause
It to re porous and light. The commissioner
