Another Turn in the Imbroglio Between the
Cily and J. M. 0. Menard.
The Imbroglio between tho city and J. M,
O. Menard over the Improvement of the
wooden building in the fire limits, took an-
other turn yesterday through the arrest of
the woikmen engaged in repairing the
building on (he charge of violating the fire
ordinance. This was done in accordance
with a ret oiution passed at the last meeting
of the council, specifically directing the ar
rest of any parties attempting to repair
this bni?dlr,g. This is the second arrest
growing cut of the repetition of the same
<ffen«e; upon the occasion of the first ar
rest, however, Mr. Menard was hinne'.f
made a party defendant; this time oaly tbe
workmen were arrested. Tho first prosecu-
tion was dismissed by tbe recorder, and as
the case presents practically the sasQ8
status now ae it did at first, it Is a well
founded assumption that Recorder Foatalue
will dism'ss tbe case again to dav. The
outcone of this trouble points very directly
to a damage suit against tbe city.

Frtc&ution Versus Camp Stool.

Gal-vkston, Tex., February 8 —I ualar-
statd that tbe rush for seats for the Bjoth-

to roeke tbe sealing capacity larger, to fill

I wish Misers. Green wall every success in
their enterprise, and give them due credit
for brirging to Galveston such good
attractions. Still, in the intersst o!
the safety of the theater-going
public, I bfg leave to inquire of
yon whether there is not some city ordl
nance in existence forbidding the usa of
these camp stools? In case of Jre the exits
of the Tjcmont opera-houaa are by no
means bnfliclent, even if the house i< not
crowded. How will it be when the hoase Is
crowded and the gangway a blociel by
camp stools? Tne gangways shouli al-
ways be ktpt clear, to say the least, aad
these camp stools should not be allowel.

A STILL FURTHER EULOGY
ON THE CHARACTER 0FW. P. BALLINGER
Fe!o!uiiors Submitted to the Court of Appeals
bv Mr. F Charles Hume-Response
by Presiding Judge Whits.
In the couit of appeals yesterday Mr. V.
Ctarles Hnme presented the resolutions re-
cently passed by the bench and bar upon
the death of Judge W. P. Ballinger, ac-
coniFBiijiig them with the following
eulogy:
Kay if pleat-e (he court: I am commis-
sioned bj the bar to make known to your
honoiB tne resolutions they have adopted
upon tb6 event of the deata of our distin-
guished brother, William P. Balllnger, and
to move that ihuy be entered of record.
By a single fortunate battle one may be-
come famous as a commander, and the ob-
ject of the ready adulation that follows with
eager acclaim tbe glamour of military
acnieveuielit; a fairly shrewd mind, apt in
conit rehetdlng the prejudices and passions
of men, and onacrupuloas in converting
tit m in: o mere factors of personal ad vance-
n.ent, may enable its pos3esor to oovar the
ebculders of a charlatan with the augast
robes of statesmanship; the gifts of gra
cions presence and ot pleasing speech miy
even sbleid for awhile the unworthy incaia-
bent of tho sscred office from ths so>rn of
juet reprobation; but no disguise can con
ceal the mr-ntalor mora'ldeficlencies of him
who, "In open court," pursues the practice
of the lsw.
He stfcds ever in the fliod of that light
which tbe Ine-tinct of human safety casts
upon the tinstee of a most sacred trust, and
Diust, whether he will or not, submit to its
revelations.
Ko brief probation of day, or month, or
year, is adequate to secure for him the
merited and abiding respect and confidence
of men. A lifetime of coascientlous labor
and of puis purpose is weil spent if it
crowns him with that glory at last.
It was the happy lot of the great lawyer,
whose death wo now lament, to fill the
measure of professional ambittonaud then
to take leave of life with its fairest honors
thick abcut him, with unimpaired faculties
and unclouded fanif, ttie acknowledged
chief "f tb« har of his stats.
Be will be "remembered with his land's
language." Where will yju look tn all the
records that chronicle taa history of oar
jurisprudence without Aiding his name?
To what page will yon tarn that does not
bear the imprees;of his vljforoui handiwork?
Sagacious as an adviser; laborious and
exhaustive in preparation, taking nothing
for granted and yielding not to tbe un-
proved dicta of names, howsoever im-
posing; spirited and uncompromising In
advocacy; learned in the reason and in the
philosophy of ths law, as few men are, he
brought to the service of his ollents a pro-
fessional eqaipinent furnished with every
weapon ofiurensic conflict.
But the heart speaks for hlrnin less ambi-
tious, though far tenderer tones.
Lovingly to be remembered is the kindli-
ness of his demeanor to all who enjoyed the
pleasure of his acquaintance, especially his
fellows of the bar, In whom ha at all times
manifested the warmest interest, and by
whom he was not[more respected as alawyer
than admired as a companion and honored
as a friend. The pleasure of no engage-
ment was so urgent as to constrain him to
forego the genial salutation aad the cheer-
ful inquiry, the.word of encouragement to
to the young, and the aid his large learning
and experience enabled him so readily to
give.
Fitted by fortune, taste and personal ac-
complishments for the gracious art of hos-
pitality, nothing gave him more pleasure
than the presence of friends at tbe lovely
home so well known to us all; and it may
be doubted whether any member of the bar
of this state ever imposed upon his
brethren eo many and so delightful social
obligations.
And if so endeared to ns by the graces of
his private life, how mav we measure the
strength ot the links that bound to him the
hearts of his own home—where every
thought was a prayer for the preservation
ot his life and health?
Have sou read In the Talmud of old,
lu the legends the Riibbiiis have told
Oi the llmitieBa realms of air,
Have you lead it—the marvelou3 story
Uf Sanflaipbon the Angel of Glory,
Sandatphon the Angel of Prayer?
IIow, erect, at the outermost gates
Ot tl-.e City Celestial he waits,
With his ;eet on ths ladder of light,
That, crowded with an«oin unnumbered,
By Jacob was seen as he slun.bereel
Alone in the desext at ntghs?
Serene in the rapturous throng,
Unmoved by the rush of the song,
With eyes untrnpca; toned and slow,
Among tha dead angels, the deathless
SandalptiOi) stands, listening breathless
To sounds that asccnd from below.
Fi< in the spirits on earth that adore,
I'rom the souls that entreat and Implore
In tliu ferver and passion ot prayer;
Frcm tho hearts that are broken with lOEses
And w eary with dragging the crosses
Too ht avy for mortals to bear.
And he gathers the prayers as he stands,
t nd they change Into flowers In his hands—
Into garlands c f purp.e aud red;
And btneath the great srch of the portal,
Through the streets of the City Immortal
Is wafted the fragrance they bhed.
We stood by the grave of our brother but
yesterday. The day was desolate, with
cloud and rain and drifting shadows; bat
upon the cold srd that covered his body
were heaped the floral emblems of Immor-
tality. And os they mingle! their psrfutne
with the caustic breath ot winter, and soft-
ened its scowl with the smile of springtime
and the sweet incense of love aad bops,
ihey seemed to me like the girlands ot
Handalphon, filling paradise with the fra-
grance of accepted prayer.
RESPONSE PROM THE COURT.
In receiving the resolutions, presiding,
Judge W hlte spoke as follows;
It Is very meet, right and proper that the
bench and bar of Texas should p*y fitting
tribute to the exalted character aad supe-
rior virtues of William P. piiilngar.
They honor themselves in paying appro-
priate honors to his memory. For the mem-
ory of such a man does not belong ex-
clusively to his immedlats family and
friends, nor indeed to the cominanity and
cily in which he livedr it is eqially tbe
property of the commonwealth an! the
heritage of every citlzan of tiie state.
For more than forty years he has bsen
prominently identified wit'a tha laterasts
and prosperity of Texas.
"A youth to fortune aid to fams na-
known," before attaining his m ijjrltytie
c*st his lot with her people at tima when
her future was o'ercast wita doaot «nd un-
certainty, when it had bee jma ovideat ena
must abandon tho struggle longer to main-
tain her precarious exlstenca S3 a sap.trate
and independent republic, a time wbea she
most needed wlseheadsand brave, patriotic
hearts to guide and steer her through tbe
political quicksands and breakers threateu-
irg tobiBtulf her. He made tha ctty of Q il-
vteton, then comparatively au iasigatacaat
village, the home of his adoption. Hsra ha
has lived for more than f>rty yetr.s an!
here in his daily goings in aad out bafora
his fellcw-meu, the early aspirations of his
romising youth, tha untiring energies of
Is matured manhood, the increased po^ar
and ir flntcce of his middle age have at all
limes displayed and illustrated the noblest
virtues of the perfect citlzan. And here he
has died. Happily he was permitted to live
and see Texas in wealth and population ba-
ccire a mighty empire, whose teebia star
Flitters like a planet of the first saagaltude
i.u the coBsteliatlon of states. And ha lived
to see Galveston a graatcommarc'.al mart,
a beautiful city, the glory of hor o??n peo-
ple and the pride of every Tsxan who
delights in the present prosperity aad
tnture possibilities ot his state. To seoara
ibis deal prosperity no individual ci'.izja
bos contii'onted mora Creel.-0.' his tirn?,
aeaps end abilities, and never had state or
city a truer snd more devoted sou thia
Tt-iss and Oalveston poss33sed ia William
P. Balling*!'.
In the perfoimancs of the nuny pablb
tjpstB confided to his care, and in his con
cuct of the high and important oiflses to
which he was called, he never failed to em-
phasizrt the responsibilities of their duties
by tbe fidelity and energy with which he
executcdthem and gained for hlmjelf a
rt>(.ciaiion for statesmanship of the hlgh-
eiit oider. In the civil list of Texas Ms
name will occupy a prominent place on tha
roll of citizenship.
But while it is always a pleasure to con-
template and admire a public career so fall
of borors, we who are assembled on this
solemn occasion are more deeply and par-
ticularly interested in that phase of hla life
whirh presents him to posterity as au en-
during type and splendid model of oar
noble profession.
His natural and acquired abilities of
eveiv character were so supplemented by
long jears of patient, unremitting labor in
tl-eftudy and acquisition of the law until it
had almost become with him an exact sci-
ence if fleeting the perfection of human
wisdom when its principles were properly
applied to the varied conditions aud a&iirs
of mi n. As a lawyer he justly attained tha
highest rank, and in that highest rank he
was primus interpares. As a counselor he
was the soul ot honor, aad the soundness of
his wisdom and correctness of hisjadg-
rnent were proverbial. As advocate he was
pre eminent, and in argument wielded both
tbe battle-ax of Cceurde Lion and tha keen-
edited scimeter of Saladin.
Ko client ever suffered injustice or neglect
ar bis bands; no adversary vituperation or
abuse from him. No court was ever misled
or deceived by his knowingly misstating
the law; no younger or weaker brother ever
felt merciiessness of asperity in his lan-
guage, or claimed in vain his protection or
assistance. He was tbe embodiment of a
manly, affable courtesy which never failed
to command the admiration and respect of
oil, even those to whom he was opposad.
Mo Inlghtlier Paladin ever championed the
ceuse of right or distress; no Levite ever
ministered at tho sacred altar with purer
heart or cleaner hands than ha in the tem-
ples of justice.
His It sal reputation and character ara the
noble legacy he lias left to U3 his brethren
of tbe bench and bar. It is without taint or
blemish—it is a fit object of pride—a very
tower tf strength, and furnishes a constant
example worthy of all emulation.
A gieat man—a great citizan—a great
lawyer bes indeed fallen in tbe state.
Ripe in years and full of honors he say
the last ot earth as doubtless he desired to
fee it—in the peaceful quiet of his own
loved home—a home sheltered by the trees
ho bad planted aad adorned bv tne sbrao
bery and flowers bis own hands had.reared;
a bomo where tho comforts aad luxarias
added to tbe beauties of ita adornments; a
home wbere bis delightful and genial hos-
pitality was so generously disponed for the
pleasure and happiness of others—thare
wbere his nffections were most centered—
surrounded by tbe loving hearts of his ourn
ramily, and ministered to by the lovicg
hands of those most beloved—It was there
tbat Death came and found and claimed him
for his own. There he will ba forever
mourned. It is but natural and right we,
too, bi!< friends and brothers, should mourn
bis loss. But tot as those without nopa.
Ko,
It Is not the wl ote of life to live,
Nor all of death to die.
Lamurtlne, tbe French poet-philosopher,
baa trnly remarked that '-death is thegreat-
est act oflile, since it gives birth to a higher
state of existence." He might have added,
8B existence whose mortality becomes lm-
moitul, and where—it oar holy religion be
not a fbble and a delusion—it is promised
tbat the pure in heart shall see Qod and en-
joy blm forever in the company of the
blest.
Who tbat ever knew him could doubt the
spotless porlty of William P. Balllnger?
When ibe finished completeness of his
character and works as citizen, lawyer and
man are contemplated, and the magnitude
of bis loss to tbe state considered, we are
Impressed with the application of the beau-
tiful lines of the poet:
lie did not fall
Like drooping flowers that no man notlceth.
But like a great branch from some stately
tree,
Eert In a tempest and flung down to death,
1 likk with green foliage—so that pltnoualy
Knob passer by that rnin wondereth
And saiih, "Che gup this branch has left is
wide,
Ihe lota thereof can never bo supplied."

with htm to Chicago via the Suit, Colorado
and Santa Fe, he jumped the trala at

H&utical Notes.
Tbero were no arrivals reported y ester-
day, neither were thare any clearances.
Tbe sai.d that Is dumped.on the new pier
by the dry dock slip is beginning to rise to
quite a height, and partially shuts off the
view to the east.
The weather seemed to bo propitious for
fUbirg along the wharves, where red fi3h
and »>out were baing caught in abuudaaca.
At Kabt's wharf tne greatest number ot
ted hsh were caught, wh<sre quite a orowd
had collected to try tueir luck. Tha fish
bit tepidly, and wero hauled out as fast as
(be lin»B were thrown la, affording rare
s pert to the atglers.

EOOTH ABB BAR3ETT SEATS.
Ihe Greatest Hush Ever Beiore Experienced in
This City for Reserved Beats.
According to announcement the box office
for the sale of Booth and Barrett seats was
opened yesterday morning at tho Tremont
pTcmptly at 0 o'clock. In anticipation of
the sale a crowd began to gather around
tbe theater some time before this hour,
seme o£ the parties arriving ag early as 7 a.
m., end waiting ia position unlil the open-
ing of the theater. By 9 o'clock several
hundred people stood compactly in line in
front of tho theater door. This number did
not in numerical proportion begin to rep-
resent the number of seats that was con-
sumed, as nearly every man inline held
picxies from friends, and representing oa
a average from five to ten seats.
Among the first demand was
a csli lor thirty-Eeven seats to supply the
patrons of a prominent wholesale honse in
the city. The next call was for twenty for
tbe same purpose, and from these figures
the Lumbers demanded at a single call
giaded down. The wild rumors afloat that
tueculators had bought up the choice se»ts
were unfounded. Tne houses of L. & H.
Blum and J. B. Hogers were those securing
the largest number of tickets in bulk, and
the tickets secured by them were in re-
sponse to orders from their friends and
patrons in the country. Tne rush was un-
precedented in the history of the Tremont
opera house, and when parties were able to
get out cf the crowd, after secarlag ttietr
lickets, they appeared as though they had
gone through the ordeal or a rega
isr "rnili." For about three hours the
lusb continued without abatement,
ai d by noon every seat dosvn stairs, 505 by
dciBsi count, had been taken for bota
nights, or in other words, 1010 seats had
been sold at 13 each, representing ia actual
letfclptB $3030 within three hours, or a Ut-
ile in cxcess of $1000 an hour. The demand
ho we v er con tinued d nring the day, the resu 11
teing Ihe marking off of positions for caap
s tools heie snd there through the aisles, anil
ihe resetving of the rear portion of the Brat
gtllety or family circla. To meat the de-
ir&Ed the space tn the orchestra, tlffcy seats,
will be sold to day, and a diagram of the
first fcullery or family circle will be pre-
pared, from which seats maybe selected.
Those now who would witness either per-
tci msnce from down etaira must take camp
stools or seats within the orchestra railtug.
Several hundred people can yet be accom-
modated tor each performance by c^mp
stcole or in the alienee.
