THE GALVESTON DAILY NEWS, SUNDAY. JULY 22. 1R94.
THE DAY AT HOUSTON.
Sentiment in Regard to Gov. Hogg's
Watch Speech—Reads Worse
Than It Sounded.
An Arrest on Charge of Seduction—A Fine
Six-Story Office Building Promised.
The Krautzes in Court.
Houfltfon, Tex., July 21.—To-day the
•tfhoug'htiful men of the olty are still <11h-
cusdlng the speech made by -Governor Hogg
In acceptance of t'he watch, given to him
by the officers of the militia upon the eve
of the breaking up of the state encamp-
ment, which ended this week at AuatJln.
Of course there are many good citizens
•who -are opposed to beMevlng it an J say
they do not because it would confront them
with a fact «o appalling a>nd hideous that
they can't believe a man in his right mind
should use such dangerous and ominous
expressions Just at this critical time.
iColonel tR. Oocke, commander of the Third
regiment, T. V. G., was at the presentation.
(He is quUe an admiirer of "Governor Hogg,
but in response 'to questions of a News
iman t'his morning admitted that he re-
membered much of the speech as he read it
In The >News. "I don't think," said the
colonel, "that .he used all the adjectives at-
tributed to ihllm In making a certain point.
He did say 'brains, livers and lights' #ould
fbe scattered, but ilf 'he used the other adjec-
IMves I did not hear lluvn. !He didn't say
they would be scattered on fourteen-story
buildings, but said seven-story buildings.
When he delivered It, it did not sound like
It reads. It did not sound nearly so bad,
and instead of being coldly or coolly re-
ceded, dt wa-s received with the greatest en-
thusiasm. At one point of his speech it did
seem to me that the boys would raise the
roof of the bu'.lil'ing they cheered wiiLh so
much fervor and enthusiasm. tHe did pre-
dict that there were dark times ahead and
•the soldfler boys would have to be in it. 1
am sure he expressed strong opposition to
'having the Uncted States troops come into
t'he state. There were some things he said
that were left out, I am sure."
"Do you, colonel, know whether or not
the governor to,:k any steps looking to the
forceful suppression of trouble in the state
4n case of an outbreak?" asked the News
man.
"Yes; he and General Mabry named six
companies and appointed Colonel llardy
of Oorslcana to command them, to go to
Galveston in case of an emergency. It
was known only to the officerti. The com-
panies were from t'he smaller towns and
none from this part of the state. There
was some effort made to get the appoint-
ment of men from this part of the state,
but it was thun brought out that the au-
thorities wanted otlieers and men who were
6trangers, or rather unacquainted with peo-
ple in the locaMty or place of the trouble.
The reason is a good one and will be plain
to t'he man who gives It a thought. This
matter was kept secret, but I don't sup-
pose there would be any harm in mention-
ing It now that everything Is over. I must
repeat it, there is no doubt about the boys
manifesting the warmest enthusiasm fre-
quently during the governor'^ speech, and
you bet I am his friend and he Is a great
friend of the militia of Texas. I'll tell
you another thing: A good many of the
governor's friends blame, me for that
«peec'h because I thoughtlessly intimated
■to the governor the day before the pre-
sentation took place that he would per-
haps have a watch the next day. They
maintained that ilf lie had not prepared
himself he would not have said so much
and Uhose utterances would not have been
In it. It came about in this way: Some one
asked the governor what time it was. He
-said he had no watch. I intimated that
he would not be In that fix the next day."
Another gentleman, speaking of the gov-
ernor's address, said he -heard it, and The
<News was in the main correct, and further-
mo-re he saw a man there taking notes of
4t.
Colonel Wm. Brady, speaking of the
governor' talk, said it was outrageous that
a great and prominent state like Texas
should toe put in the light thait the gov-
ernor's speech had placed it. The outside
■world would take it to represent the sen-
timent of the people of Texas, whereas
not one-tenth, no, not one-twentieth were
represented in such utterances. "I think
tha't boards of trade and other .commercial
and business organizations and the citi-
zens themselves should" meet and adopt
resolutions similar to those gotten up at
Dallas. The friends of the governor are
dead against such utterances, but most of
'them say they do not believe he was cor-
rectly reported."
A prominent lawyer, who stands high
in political circles, stated t'he day The
News printed the speech tha't Governor
Hogg would be backing out of it and de-
nying it fin the papers as soon as he saw
how it fell upon it'he people. It has turned
out to-day just as he predicted.
SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.
There was a mee'ting of the school board
yesterday afternoon. Present, John T.
Browne, C. Lombard!, R. Cage, E. Raph-
ael. The reading of the minutes was dis-
pensed with.

THE OFFICE BILOCK.
The deeds and necessary papers harve
been made ouit and delivered which trans-
fers the corner of Prairie avenue and Fan-
nin street to the Houston 'co-operative build-
ing association. The plans and specifica-
tions, which had been previously prepared
by R. D. Steele, the architect of the 'build-
ing, were formally signed and approved by
Mr. Wadded. It is said this practically in-
sures Houston the largest and best equipped
office (building i>n the state. The (building is
to be six stories in height and 100x150 feet
on the ground. It will be of stone, brick
and iron, wiitih stone and terra cott-a trim-
mings.
The stockholders are congratulating them-
selves over the prospects and while the de-
iiay had been somewhat discouraging, it was
as well for the association, since the strike
and congress had made it practically im-
(possi'ble to secure the money for the erec-
tion Of the bui'iding sooner.
Mr. Dana thinks there will be but little
delay in securing the money and (beginning
the 'building operations—not over sixty or
ninety days—then it will require aibouit ten
to twelve months to complete it.

enough to begin an aggressive campaign
after the state democratic convention has
put a state democratic ticket in the fieJd.

seen.

WOODVILLE LYNCHING.
Further Particulars of the Doings of the
Mob in Tyler County.
•Colmesneil, Tex., July 20.—The lynching
of the 17-year-old negro at Woodvllle yes-
terday morning was a surprise to the peo-
ple here as well as at Woodville. Although
there was an alleged effort at Chester to
mob the negro on the night after his arrest,
the general quiet that prevailed after caus -d
t'he public to feel that no further attempt
would 'be made toward lynching the negro.
His admission of guilt, however, must have
irritated the iparties, as they were deter-
mined in their last and successful effort.
Approaching the town of Woodville after 1
o'clock in the morning, a number of them
quiotlv reached Jailer Palne's gallery, one
of them calling him out. -As 'he steppe! to
the door he was taken by them in his night
clothes and carried away. Others of the
crowd entered the house, and in searching
for the jail keys found them and Paine's
pistol between the mattresses of his bei.
Taking both keys and pistol, they also got
(Paine's clothes and carried Paine with
them to t'he jail, from which they took the
negro. Taking Paine with them, they
started in a northeasterly direction, but
soon decided to leave Paine, placing four
men to guard him, while the others, to-
gether with the negro, went on as if leav-
ing the town. (Some thirty minutes later
Paine was released, when he went 'home to
comfort his family. He went to County
Attorney Mooney's room and arousing him
told what had happened. Nothing further
was done until morning, when the negro's
dead body was found dangling from the
Southern 'Pacific water tank just northeast
of town. An unsuccessful attempt was
made to trace the mob, their tracks being
lost about half a mile from town in some
thick woods. The negro's body was carried
to the jail, an inquest held, and a verdict
rendered that be came to Iris death at the
hands of unknown parties. The body was
interred in the negro graveyard late last
evening, at the county s cost, no negroes
attending the burial except the two grave
diggers. The darkies have little to say of
the affair, though a few have been heard to
say his punishment was just. As yet no
clew has been discovered as to any of t'he
mob.

Houston, Tex., fuly 21.—A ipromlnent <
ficlal of the Houw&n, Mast and West Toxea
informed The News rcpor;. r this evening
that the lo!ig-talkj.l-of time of broad nin
the gauge of thatjroad had b m*ii definitely
settled upon and ti.it the w »rk would com-
mence Sunday, ^^29. and that a sufficient
farce would be employed to complete the
worlc over the ewtlre lino from Houston
to Shreveport, a dsta'nce «,f 232 miles, in
one d'ay.
Work will eo(nrrT#:lce at Xacogdioches and
a part of the foix^ will go ;oward Shrev-
port and the other'will work toward Hous-
ton. A broad gafcred engine was loaded
on flat cars hero yesterday and shipptd
to Nacogdoches t§-day. where it x,i.l jn»
placed upon a pie® of broad gauged track
already prepared fir it. in order to hart?
it ready for useiwhen the work com-
mences.
The mw coachel Wave not yet arrived,
but are exipected Ally. The company lias
received a large i*im.b<'P cf new box and
flat cars and 200|i>a;r of extra trucks,
which will be usia in mountlr.ig narrow
gauge cars that ate thirty fret long, and
also on the narrow gauge coaches, which
are to be used onjextra occasions. Hence,
in one week frond to-morrow the present
Houston Kasit anj West Texas railroad
will have passed otit cf existence as a nar-
row gauge road, i
It Is bel'leved that t-he broadening of the
gauge of this ro<ad will work a revolution
in both its pas'seng r and freight traffic.

They claim that itj has taught them how

President \Mllor of\ the St. Paul says:
"Our losses in trafli .i^id damage to prop-

more than approximate the cost to us.

is postponed and how muah is •lust."
The Rock Island was hit harder than
any other road except, possibly, the Hi-
•linols Central, but i're&ldent Cable savs:
"I Khali be surprised if our total loss ex-
ceeds $100,000."
At the office of the manager of the Chi-
cago. Burlington an I Qulncy it was s-ta.ted:
"Our loss 'Is not la rare except in burn . 1
cars and damage to property, which the
company expects to co'.lest from the city.
Through passenger trains were run every
day during the strike and freight busi-
ness was not wholly suspended at anv
tune. The loss will probably be consid-
erably less than $5UMU0." j

A'RTIOTIC WORK.
Hempstead, Waller Co., Tex., July 21.—
The Central Is new engaged in planting
mile posts along the track from Houston to
Denlson, 3o8 miles, and all its bran-cheis.
The Austin line from Hempstead, 115 miles,
is completed. Roadmasters Rogers alid (Mc-
Donald take much pride In the work.
The posts are neatly painted white and a
bed of earth about live feet in circumfer-

pretty device, is made with white and biaek
small rocks. On the main line Roadmaster
MJUonald has the beds raised around the
posts and the five-pointed Texas star shows
up tastily. Many passengers are often no-
ticed with watches In their hands timing
the train as they pass. The flil?ty-tlrst mile
post was set here to-day.
GAVE UP THE CONTRACT.
San Antonio, Tex., July 21.—S. Massey &.
Co., who had the contract to build the
first thirty miles of the Gulf Shore rail-
road. have given up the contract. This
alction was caused by the stringency of the
money market, which prevented their finan-
cial backer from icoming to time with the
necessary funds. President L>avis has given
notice that the comipany wild hereatter set-
tle the claims of all subcontractors, lie says
that the work will be pushed rapidly for-
ward to completion. A party of prominent
San Antonio capitalists returned last night
froiin an inspection trip over the right of

W. S. Swyminer—-Dear Sir: Some three
weeks since 1 was taken with a cramping
pain in my right side, In or m?ar the lower
part of the stomach, and In a short time
was attacked with flux, attended with copi-
ous discharges of blood and a raging fever,
which continued to grow worse for seven-
ty-two hours in spite of the use of the
usual medicinal remedies. Knowing that
the Rev. H. T. HIM had an Electropolse 1
sent for him to come and try it on me. He
reached me aJbout ;l p. m. Wednesday and
Immediately applied the instrument to the
affected place in my side, which this time
had become s > sore T could scarcely bear
it touched. In just forty minutes the pain
was relieved and the soreness almost en-
tirely gone. The treatment was then trans-
ferred to my ankle, and in one hour and a
half my fever had disappeared. Mr. Hill
remained with me until noon Thursday,
having given me three additional treat-
ments. The following Saturday morning
1 got up and walked about the yard and
garden without much fatigue. The follow-
ing Monday I went into court and transact-
ed my business throughout the week feel-
ing but slight inconveniences from my se-
vere illness. Had 1 been cured with medi-
cine lif that could have been done] I know
1 should have lost my week's business in
court, and should have suffered all the un-
pleasantness of a lingering recovery from
both the disease and the effect* of the
medicine. If the above statement (which
you have not solicited] will be of service
to you in the way of Increasing the sale
an I use of that most wonderful instrument
you can publish it and refer all inquirers
