aerman Settlement in Texas—Origin
and Summary History of
These Events.
BRILLIANT OPENING SCENE.
Everything Goes Off Smoothly and the Open-
ing Concert Indicates a Splendid Meeting.
Details' of the Occasion.
Houston, Tex.. May a.—It was away back
m the days of la rig syne, about the year
1840. that Prince Salms anil hi* little band
of immigrants from the fatherland, after
many hardships and privations, pitched
their tents at New Braunife'.s, in Comal
county, and established a colony there.
Despite the trials and tribulations that they
had endured without a murmur, they wera
In no wise dismayed or discouraged. Ger-
man people, as a rule, are as patriotic
as thpy are Industrious and thrifty, and
the word fail is not in their lexicon. They
did not come to Texas expecting to find a
Band of milk and honey or elyslan fields, In
■which to loll in leisure, but they were
locking1 for a home, where by honest labor
they could thrive and prosper.
They found it.
J
OAlPTAil'N FftAiNX RErOiTARIDT,
President State Saengerfest Association.
Since the establishment of their colony
many others have followed ill their foot-
steps, and to-day a large portion of Texas
citizenship is comprised of sturdy and
happy Germans, who have newer regretted
that they came to Texas and made this
state their abiding .place for weal or woo.
Those German immigrants who came here
under the leadership of Prince Sahns and
established their colony at New Kr.iuttfels
Were scarcely settled In their rude but
cosy hotmes before the Inherent love of
Bong music asserted itself. True to the
traditions of their forefathers in the old
country, they set about to establish u
singing society, and it was organized in
1845, under a live oak tree oil the claFisic
■banks of the Comal river. At that time
there were but eight singers, who would art
together at convenient intervals and engage
In singing. It was in 1850 when the singing
society, Germanla, was organized, that
regular rehearsals were held, the lirst be-
ing on the f4d day of March of that year,
the anniversary of the republic of Texas.
Then, Vhl1 love of song began to spread
among the German settlers of the state,
and local societies were constantly on the
Increase.
Shortly after this a singing society was
organized in San Antonio, and ill 1852 the
"Dutch maennerchor" was organized at
Austin, . which is probaiblv the oldest
society belonging to the saengerbund.
In 18G3, while celebrating tlie Fourth of
July, sundry songs were rendered by the
Germanla society, a number of San An-
tonio singers participating. It was on this
occasion that the suggestion of forming a
eaengerbund or singers' league was made,
and the societies of Austin and San An-
tonio were invited by the New Braunfels
society to meet at a saengerfest to be held
at the latter place on the 15th and 10th of
Oetoiber, 1853. The invitation was ac-
cepted, and in spite of the fact that the
eleihents warred, the singers were on hand.
fThe heavens wept and the lightning flashed
(and the rivers and creeks became so
uwoolen and angry that they were well
nigh impassable, to say nothing of the
muddy roads which they had to travel to
reach their destination. It Was only by
passing through great difficulties and dan-
ger that the Han Ahtonlo singers succeeded
in crossing the Salado and Cibola creeks,
which had lashed themselves into a per-
fect fury. The Austin singers were con-
fronted by the overflowing Ilianco river,
and had to make a halt with their wagons.
lAt the risk of their lives they crossed the
river, the water sweeping away their
effects, including their singing notes, and
nothing was saved from the flood except
their lm#s and the banner they carried.
But they got to New Itraunfels.
They were there on time, too. and not-
withstanding there was so much mud and
slush that they had to go to the singers'
Stall in vehicles or on horseback, the saen-
gerfest turned out to be a grand success.
Ft was then and there, on October 16,
IS53, that the German Texas saengerbund
•was organized and the lirst meeting of the
delegates of the various societies took
|)lace. The New Biauhfels Singers had
previously framed a brief and practicable
constitution, which was unanimously
adopted, and according to which a saen-
perrest was to take place every year, San
lAntonio being chosen as the next place of
festival.
The second saengerfest was held In thait
city on May 11, 15 and 1G, 1854. in a 'hall
fount of wood especially for that purpose.
3t proved quite a success. Easy and well
known songs had been selected for the
mass chorus rendition, such as every so-
ciety could learn and sing without trouble.
The saengerfest was attended by the sing-
ling societies of San Antonio and New
(Bra-unfels. Sisterdale, Lagrange. Collet to
and Victoria, all of which had joined the
singers league.
The third saehgerfMt was held again at
Kew Braunfels on October 12 and i;t, 1855.
The societies of New BraunMs, San An-
tonio, Austin, Lagrange, Columbus, In-
dianoia and Sisterdale participated.
The fourth saengerfest was also held at
tNew Braunfels In 185B, and the fifth saen-
gerfest at the same place in October, 1857,
only the societies of New Braunfels. San
Antonio and Fredericksburg being repp-
sen ted.
The sixth saengerfest took place at Fred-
ericksburg, which Was the boi-der of civi-
lization and situated in a territory swarm-
ing with Indians. Attending societies were
those of Fredericksburg. San Antonio, Per-
den.iles, New Braunfels. Great Creek and
Austin. It was a difficult trip by wagon
and on horseback, seventy-five miles from
Ban Antonio and ninetv miles from Austin
fctill the festival was largely attended and
a grand success. The seventh saengerfest
was held in New Braunfels In Mav, 181)0,
when for the first time a mixed chorus,
the Cohcohdia of New Braunfels, rendered
some numbers in the urogram me. It was
then decided to have the next saengerfest
at Austin, but in the spring of 1801 the
war broke out and the German singers of
Tetas did net hold any more saengerfests
tfor ten years, San Antonio moving lirst
for a revival of the meetings. In 1870, in
the month of September, the eighth saen-
gerfest was held at San Antonio, but few
of the league societies being represented.
{New Braunfels was then chosen again
without flxintr any date, and the next fes-
tival was held In May, 187:1.
The tenth saengerfest was held at San
Antonio in October, 1874, and the eleventh
saehgerfest did not take place until n ta-
ker, 1877, at San Antonio. It Was a grand
affair, a magnificent orchestra .jf lo-,il
talent being formed and for the lirst time
mass choraseg were sung with the accom-
panitnent of an orchestra. This saenger-
fest marked the period of a transition of
the previous unpretentious but p'leasatu
singing festivals Into the more pretentious
festivals of music of the last decade.
The twelfth saengerfest was celebrated at
Austin, April 15, 16 and 17, 1879, the New
Orleans national orchestra of St. Louis
<>i -.hg engaged for festival music and ac-
£wiujMniment. In this way the sln^lnf: fes-
tivals began to assume a more different and
expensive charcter and from one festival to
another more attention has since been paid
to orchestra music and to the Introduction
of t'he greater musical works of the most
distinguished composers.
On April lit. 20, 21 and 22, 1881, the thir-
teenth saengerfest was held in Galveston,
when the following societies participated:
Frohsinn of Dallas, Beethoven of San An-
tonio. Swiss glee flub of Dallas, Arion of
San Antonio, Maennerchor of Austin, Maen-
nerchor of N«»w Braunfels, Saengerruiule of
Austin, Germanla of Brenharn, Germanla of
Austin, Quartette clu'b of La Grange, Maen-
nerchor of H uiston, Maennerchor of Fred-
ericksburg, Salamander of Galveston.
The fourteenth saenger/ost took place on
May 15, 16, 17 and 18, 1883, at Dallas, with an
orchestra eiigag.-d from New Orleans. The
societies represented were: Salamander,
Galveston; M'aein.erchor, tfaengerrunde and
Germanla, Austin; Liederkranz, Houston;
Frohsinn and Gruetli, Dallas.
Tin? fifteenth saengerfest was held at
Houston nil April 28, 2!) and 30, 1885, at
which an orchestra was engaged and con-
ducted by Carl Beck of San Antonio. Ten
societies were represented.
The sixteenth suentji rfvst was celebrated
at San Antonio on April 12. 13, 14, 15, 10 and
17. 1SS7. The orchestra consisted of forty-six
llrst-class musicians, who had been enlisted
from all parts of the union—Milwaukee,
Chicago, New Orleans, Galveston, San An-
tonio a ad Austin. Twelve societies partici-
pated.
Tiie seventeenth saengerfest was held at
Au tin on April -3, 24 and 25; 1889. The or-
chestra consisted of thirty musicians, all
from Texas except three. It was decided at
a meeting of the delegates that the German
Texas singers' league should participate in
a saengerfest to he held In February, 1890.
at New Orleans by the North American
singers' union.
Next came the eighteenth saengerfest.
which was held at Galveston on April 15, 16
and 17, 1891, which was also a grand success
The nineteenth and last saengerfest was
held in Dal his in May, 1892, and was one of
the largest and most successful musical fes-
tivals ever held in the south. Now the
•j'Wentfeth saengerfest is being held in this
city, and it wi'.i be fully up to those which
have preceded It.
T'TT!R FI'R8T DAY,
Houston. Tex., May 8.—The celebration of
the twentieth state Saengerfest commenced
in this city to-day and it bids fair to be
one of the most enjoyable and successful
festivals of any ever held in the state. The
attendance Is large and everybody seems
ta be Inspired with the spirit of music and
innocent revelry. The weather, too, was
favorable to-day and there was nothing
to detract from the pleasure of the occa-
sion. The city is more lavishly decorated
to-day than it was yesterday, many of
•the business men reserving their gay
decorations for the commencement of the
aotlve festivities. The decorations, haw-
ever, are principally in the inside instead
of the outside of the buildings. Almost
every saloon In the city Is profusely decor-
ate I within the building and some of the
designs are as artistic and patriotic as they
are unique and catchy.
Be.-i les the singing societies which ar-
rive! yesterday and last night, a complete
list of which appeared exclusively in The
New.-:, the following singers arrived this
morning; G a 1 ves t o n m aen n e rc hor—Pri»f.

In spite of the fact that the German vis-
itors kept late hours last night, owing to
the fact that it was late when many cf
them arrived in i.ie city, they were up and
stirring about the city very early. By 9
o'clock Turner hall presented a scene of ac-
tivity and merriment. At 10 o'clock a re-
hearsal for the tirst concert of the series
took place at the opera house. It was
speedily made apparent that the concrt
would be u grand success and a musical
event of no small dimens"»ns, as the dif-
ferent numbers of the programme Were ex-
ecuted in a brilliant and artistic manner
without a hitch, it was discovered that the
acoustic properties of the house were all
right in view of the changes that had been
made in the stage, and If any of the singers
entertained the slightest misgivings as to
the result of the opening concert they were
readily dispelled by this rehearsal.
'Hills a^ern ;un 'at 4.30 the Galveston
quartette society arrived and was met at
the International and Great Northern depot
by a mixed delegation from the committee
on reception and the vHous'ton quartette

When 'the two cluibs arrived at head-
quarters a regular merry-'inaklng followed.
The Galveston society rendered a beautiiful
selection and were applauvled to the echo.
President Bryan, on behalf inf the Houston
organization, delivf-red a brief address of
welcome t-» the Ga'lveston visitors, in wihlch
he said he hoped that the present gather-
ing wotf.d lea 1 to more intimate relations
between the tiwo societies in the future.
President llawiey of the Galveston society
responded in ah eloquent strain and Joined
President Bryan in the wish that the two
organizations will know eadh other better
it'rom this time on. The societies then had
an interchange of uninsic, each rendering a
l'tiw selections, and merriment anJ good-
fe.'iijwshlp reiigned suprtwne. A great deal
is expected of the twin societies and no dis-
aippo'intimcnt will ensue. As vocalists they
are hard to turn down.
THE EXCURSION.
In response to an invitation from the
local singers the visitors went on a delight-
ful excursion to Magnolia park this after-
nooh. Receiver Johh Kennedy looking
after the guests. Promptly at 3.30 o'clock
the crowd began to gather and when the
tra-in of four coaches nulled into the d*»uot
at the foot of San Jacinto street they were
quickly filled by the singers and their
families.
Hon. John Kennedy, receiver of the
Houston He)t and Magnolia Park road,
who was on hand and personally super-
vised the excudsion, immediately ordered
an extra coach, which was also rapidly
1l.:< .1.
Arriving at the park, the visitors spent
two hours in enjoying 'the delights of the
woods, ilshing and r uing on the bayou.
Magnolias were pknt'.ful, and the gay
saengetibunds found no end of snort in
cllmib'llig the sky-scraoing trees and pluck-
ing the sweet magnolias. The saengerfest
orchestra was on hand and occupied a con-
spicuous place on the pavilion, where they-
rendered a delightful programme of con-
cert music. The happy excursionists en-
Joyed themselves huge'iy and expressed
their surprises at tie- wonderful natural
beauties of the nark and the whole-souled
manner in which the local s.nger3 enter-
tained their guests.

A GRiE>AfT OCCASION.
Houston, Tex., May 8.—<If the initial con-
cert given at t/he opera house to-night is
an Index to what the saengerfest is going
to be in its entirety It may be safely as-
serted that the twentieth celebration of the
•festival of song will oversnadow all of its
predecessors. The opera house had been
tastily decorated with flowers, bunting,
flags and streamers and the large stage was
almost a solild mass of floral and other de-
signs. About 300 singers occupied the stage
along wltih the orchestra and the opera
house was packed, nothing but standing
room being left. The visiting ladles from
Ga'lveston, Austin and other places occu-
pied the boxes and applauded the different
singers until their litble hands were as
rosy as their cheeks.
The programme as printed In The News
this morning was executed, with the excep-
tion of one change. On account df the a.b-
sence of G. T. Warner of Austin, who was
booked for a solo, "Gondoliera" was ren-
dered by Mrs. (Bel-'Ja McLeod Smith, H.
Kirklanid and C. H. Mueller, who sang so-
prano, tenor and baritone respectlve>ly.
After the coronation march by the or-
chestra H. -B. Rice came forward and de-
livered the address of welcome In English,
speaking as follows:
Ladles and Gentlemen: I have the dis-
tinguished honor as well as the great
pleasure of welcoming you here to-night.
On beha'lf of t'he saengerfest executive
committee and also on behalf of the citi-
zens of Houston, I extend a greeting
wh'fch in sincerity of purpose will be only
equaled by your sweetness of song and the
melody of your music. This Is a most fit-
ting occasion to pay tribute to an organi-
zation which has for its formation and
principles the peace, enjoyment and culture
of the human race. I believe that I may
say 'Without fear of successful contradic-
tion that among all the customs of socie-
ties and associations in our broad land,
none brings mere happiness to the human
heart, more refinement to the mind than
this beautiful biennial custom of our saen-
gerfest. Here in our great republic, men
»'f ail classes and people of a-U nationalities
-ee.ignlze its worth and delight in paying'
iomage to a custom so beneficial to sa-
fety.
When we look around upon this pret-
■t'.ly decorated hall, with its symbols; when
we gaze into the faces before us, with their
joyous anticipations, we no lunger wonder
t ine potent p >wer of music or the in-
citing influence of song. To an audience
•o cultured it would be useless for me to
describe how in long past ag-'s the classic
Greek and the philosophic Roman wrote
their country's history in songs and verse,
nor how we of modern times wit»n all the
advancement of civilization recognize the
fact and concede the truth that, though
undeveloped, the Inborn love of music was
'.s great and its power as wonderful at
history's dawn as it Is to-day. The annals
are replete with stories of valorous deeds
and chivaltric acts performed by both In-
dividuals and'bodies of men under the stim-
ulus of song, dating from t'he time when
Israel's hosts were cheered by the boast-
ful, yet truthful memibefs of the
beautiful iMavim, the Hebrews' honored
poetess, and extending even to our day.
The broken ranks of the Scots have been
reformed and heralded to victory under the
.(trains Ui' their native bagpipe; many an
rOngllsh sailor has gone down with lliw
battleship While listening to a cheering
"God Save the King." Thousands of French
aol l.ers. when bleeding and dying upon the
battlefield, have, under the soul-stirring
echoes of "La Marseillaise," lifted their
feeble voices and cried: "Vive la France!"
And the proud < agles of Prussia have, un-
der the inspiring sounds of "Die Wacht am
Khein." headed the resistless legions that
swept before them and brought back many
a trophy of victory to the fatherland. And
here, in our native land under the stars
and stripes, and with all our well knovvn
lirs, have we wo-n and maintained a re-
public uneqUaled in the world's hintony.
"Thusi we could .go on forever and pay
just tribute to the muses and their honored
sons. It has been said that where music
reigns Supreme peace sits content, and,
judging from the expression of thofie around
me, Its truth became more bright.
"And how. my friends, we will no longer
detain you from your evening's enjoyment.
To our visitors I trust this occasion will
be one of unalloyed pleasure, and that in
after life the memory of this celcibratlon,
the twentieth state saengerfest, will be
remembered with kindliest emotions, for I
speak the truth when 1 say that the city
of Houston as" an entirety welcomes you
with best and warmest greetings.
iHe was followed 'bv F. A. Kelehardt, who
welcomed the slngein and their friends in
German. His remarks, when translated,
are as follows:
R»speo:ed Guests, Ladles and Gentlemen:
I have the bonier to welcome you In the
name of our town, our citizens and last
but not least In the nattie of the singers
of Houston and the officers of the twen-
tieth state saerigerfest and o heartily wei-
i come the German veteins of this state. With
i iotvtful a.ritiieiuation and with glad expect-
ancy, and yet not Wlthbu.t hraitancy and
some fear that our Weak efforts might
nut be equal to this great undertaking, we
aiwaited tli'.s hour. Our former saenger-
fests have aceomplui»hi-d so ma eh and have
understood s«» well how to make tlies* fes-
tive assemblies genuine feasts of music
•that we ftar you will expect too much of
our efforts, but 1 wi»h to nai ul >ou that
we have endeavored to do our best and
that we -have done every:»?iini? that we
knew how to do. We ti i. ; our • fforts to
that end have not been a:..';-gether fruit-
li There is probably no better example
of the power of soflg tiii'in jo/' thes our
periodic:!'. asscin'bXea. You w.ii probably re-
member haw insignificant t he b' winning of
our 'association was and h iw it continually
■Inu'eased from a numerical standpoint as
w. li as from the standpoint of usefulness.
To-day it exceeds t'he fond'e.st anticipations
of it-; founders. To you, my German fel'.ow-
oltlz ns. ail honor is due for awakening in
the citizens of thi-s great state a love and
adlmiratiou for music. Y'ou did well to
brin.:; with you from your fatherland the
noble-t, the best, the Grrman s ing. Noth-
ing i.s more ennobling and wields a greater
influence than wweet music. By all peoples
and i y nut* it was kn Kvn. 1 ve-n in
the olden time, bow great wa<s the power
of song upon the lncilnati'jns of the peo-
ple. L was the Marsei.lalse that gave to the
French almost •superhuman courage. It was
the songs of Kuener that inspired the Ger-
man nation to shatoe off the yo'ke of the
French, anil It was the Watch-on-the-Rhine
that made a nation of the German people.
We trust that the days you may s,<end In
our in ids Will be fraught with much pleas-
ure. 1 again bid you one and all a hearty
welcome.
"Singers' Greeting," by the mass chorus,
followed, under the direction of Prof. Fel-
den. "The Earth Is the Lord's" was the
next number by thut justly celebrated mu-
sical aggregation, the Austin musical uni'ori,
Mm. Florence MaXey singing the solo, and
singing It sweetly. iMra. Lock Brush,
whose clear soprano voice Is the pride of
Austin, never sang better, and then there
was Frank Browne, Cralne. Stacey and the
rest of the boys, and when they got down
to business a "concord of sweet soundu"
was found to be the result. A beautiful
overture by the orchestra under the direc-
tion of Prof. Herb came next, and Was
1 i 1 >e ra 11 y a p p I a u d ed.
One of the features of the evening was
"'Aria and Scena from Freischutz," by Miss
Margaret Fisher of Brenham. 'Misis Fisher
has a graceful stage presence and a won-
derfully sweet ahd well trained voice. She
was loudly applauded, and for an encore
sang tint soul-stirring and tuneful ballad,
"If the Waters Could Speak as They
Flow." When she retired she carried «wlth
her the admiration of her auditors and a
floral ciosb almost as large as she is.
Tin n came the Galveston quartette so-
clety with the "Winter Serenade." It Was
painfully warm In that packed house for a
number with such a chilly title, 'but the
Galveston boys got there, just the same,
They always do. They had a reputation
to sustain, ami they sustained it clear
through. The "Winter Serenade" is one of
the prettiest piece,i ever written and it was
in excellent hands. When the members of
the quartette club filed on the stage the
applause Commenced, and it lasted for
.sometime. Then the (boys began to sing and
saing for all there was out. Director
Becker looked at them With a smile of con-
fidence and proceeded to beat time, He
knew Ills team was at the I rat and they
were winners. When they finished their
rendition a howl of applause went up that
almost lifted the roof. Men stood up,
ladies clapped their hands and floral of-
ferings were shied at the stage, It was a-n
encore, and it was the first one received
by a Flociety. The boys came back and
sang "Sleep, My Lady," and the second
rendition was more pleasing than the first.
The applause was absolutely deafening,
and the Galveston singers were kept busy
for half an hour shaking hands with their
admirers.
FRANK H'EfRB.
Director of Orchestra.
"It was the finest I ever listened to,*
said General Passenger Agent Parks of the
Southern Pacific.
"Can't be beat," chimed in Bob Adair
of the Houston auantette club.
"I presided when they were organized
and was t'heir first president." said Dud-
ley Bryan, "and I'm proud of them from
away back.''
"Warrior's Life" was next rendered bv
the mass chorus and orchestra, after which
there was an intermission and another
instrumental selection. Then came the
Beethoven maennerchor of San Antonio
with "At the Wayside Inn" as the bill,
and they rendered it magnificently. This
is one of the strongest and best trained
societies in the saengerfest, and Its mem-
bers added another conquest to the long
list of achievements to-night.
They were vociferously applauded, and
the audience refused to let up until they
had rendered a second number, which was
as beautiful as the first.
The Galvestoh singers will 'have to look
well to their laurels lest the Ran Antonio
boys take them from them. The honors
were divided pretty evenly between the or-
ganizations to-night.
After another overture by the orchestra
the Austin saengerrunde had an inning and
demonstrated the fact that they were sing-
ers of no little merit.
This was followed by "My Old Kentucky
IPome" by the mass chorus, which was
probably the sweetest and most pleasing
rendition of the evening. This song is dear
to the hearts of ail southern men especially.
They like the sentiment, and the melody 'is
all that could be wished. The fact is, the
mass chorus Is a wonderfully strong one.
It is fu'll of excellent German voices—the
most musical voices on earth—and thev
sang tiie above song with remarkable ex*-
pression and tenderness. The participants
in the mass chorus are all schooled in
music, and if there was a bad -voice it was
not developed to-night.
"Dixie" was tiie last number rendered
and the manner in which it was sun# by
the sons of tin- fatherland challenged willl
applause and unceasing admiration.
Taken In its entirety the concert could
not have been improved on and the opera
house will doubtless be filled from pit to
dome to-morrow afternoon and night.
To-morrow morning at 10 o'clock there
will be n rehearsal for the second concert,
which will be given as a matinee In the
afternoon.

FOREIGN FLASHES.
THE RESCUED TOURISTS.
Grata, May 8.—The seven tourist's rescued
yesterday from a cavern near Scuralch,
after having been Imprisoned over 200 hours,
are progressing toward trecovery. Joseph
Fasching, the chief of the tourists' party,
said that when the party fouhd their means
of exit cut off they proposed to make an
attempt to dive into the stream and swim
ou't of the cave, but the current became *o
rapid that this plan was abandoned as
hopeless.
The entombed men passed the next forty-
eight hours huddled together under a rug,
but they were unable to sleep, owihg to
the cold. An attempt was made to make
a fire of driftwood, but the wood was
damp and would not burn. On Tuesday
the provisions, of which there was only a
small supply, became exhausted, and all
thought the cavern would become t'heir
grave. When on Wednesday, however, the
box of provisions sent by the rescuing
party lloated in on the stream, their fears
turned to joy as this was the first proof
which had reached them that eli'orts for
their rescue were being made.
Mr. Fasching threw a message enclosed
in a metal capsule Into the water asking
for fresh supplies to be sent In the same
manner. Uhls message he has since learned
had nut been received by the tescuers. The
party had llfctlle to eat "In the 'last three
days of their imprisonment, but only the
»>>y Ileid't sufifered to any great extent
fr,iin weakness. A cand'Ie was kept burn-
ing all the time. T'he diver Fisher, Who
was tiie first to reach t'he imprisoned party,
•is suffering from violent fits of shivering,
due to the Intense cold water which he
swam through. The only nourishment he
i'S able to take is tea and braioy.
COTTON SHIP'S AFIRE.
London, May 8.-This morning fire was
discovered in the cargo of the Dutch steam-
er Edam, Captain Btumsa, from New York.
The tire was caused 'by the overheating of
some of the cottoh which constituted part
of the cargo. About lfiO 'bales were dam-
aged. A -luantlty of grain and flour was
also damaged by the lire and water. The
damage sustained by the vessel was of an
insignificant character. The fire burned
quite fiercely for two hours. "lie large
steam pump of the Netherland-American
companv contributed most latgily to the
successful fight against what at one time
'looked like a disastrous Are.

ganized for the suppression otf a revolution.

A Curious Circumstance in Old Nacogdoches
Two Brothers, One of Whom Will
Be Sheriff.
Nacogdoches, Tex., May 7.—Returns from
the populist primaries held last Saturday
ere not all In, but It is certain that the
following are nominees: County Judge,
ti. P. Dunson [present incumbent|; county
attorney, G. \V. 0<trnes; district clerk, Zac.
C. Vulght fpriesient' Ineumlbeint]; county
clerk, Jno. F. Perritte; county treasurer,
R. Lee Drown; surveyor, J no. H. Gilbert;
sheriff, A. J. Spradley [present incumbent].
Two offices are yet doubtful, tax collector
and assessor, but probabilities are In fa-
vor of Geo. W. S?hoffner and It. E. Mc-
Kewen, respectively.
We have the strange anomaly of two
brothers running for sheriff, both nominees,
one the present sheriff, A. J. Spradley,
who has held the office long time, now
nominated by the populists; the other, his
brother, J. Mat Spradley, who is now and
long has been the favorite deputy sheriff,
and is the democratic nominee. They are
both popular outside their parties, and no
matter which Is elected it is expicted that
the other will be his deputy, and the people
Will not kick. Their relations as brothers
will not be disturbed in the least. The
democrats will try to elect iMat Spradley,
while the populists will do their best for
John Spradley. It Is understood that each
one wants to be elected. John Bpradley re-
fused to run last election till the democrats
railed to nominate Mat, and then John came
out on the populist ticket and beat the
democratic nominee. The democrats have
repemted of their blunder In rejecting Mat,
which was unjustly done on account of his
supposed leaning to-ward the populists, and
have tried to make amends by nominating
him now, having every confidence in him,
both politically and officially.
BELL COITNTY DEMOCRATS.
Beltkm, Tex., May 8.—The basis of repre-
sentation adopted by the executive commit-
tee yesterday is one delegate for every
thirty votes ca:?t for t'he democratic presi-
dential electors in 1892. This will make the
county convention consist of 145 delegates.
Then it wijl take 73 votes under the majori-
ty and 97 under the two-thirds rule to
make nominations.
The executive commllttee having failed
to make any reeotfmiiend'atlons or sugges-
tions as to quailllications for admilssion into
the primaries or as to making nominations
for county and precinct offices, the poli-
ticians ahd office-seekers ar'e somewhat at
sea. The primaries ail being cabled to meet
on the same day, it wiU not be easy to se-
cure perfect unity of action on a number
of questions In wliieh politicians are In-
terested, and then, the county conventions
having been caiKed to meet on nhe second
day after the primaries, there will not be
much time in wihflch to rflanipulate the
dt'legates -thiat l's, supposing it to be pos-
sible to manipulate t'hem.
While the committees were out yegterday
Hon. Monta J. Moore was called upon
and made a brief speech announcing his
candidacy for fco<ngress from this district.
He told this reporter for The News that
he would make a thorough canvass of the
county before our primaries meet. He will
get a good support In this county.
Among other prominent men in town
yesterday the reporter noticed Hon. H.
I'. Robertson of Temple. Mr. Robertson
has been spoken of for the state seriate
from this district, and it is understood
that he is in the hands of his friends.

ed County Judge, Boone Anderson; sheriff
and collector, 0. P. McMillan; county ahd

San Marcos, Tex., May 8.—Hon. Horaca
Chilton spoKe here in the courthouse yes-
terday at 2 o'clock p. m. to a good sized
and attentive audience. His Speech was
characterised throughout by a strong and
clearly defined policy of action on the lead-
ing issues how before the people, the sliver
question being placed far aoove and be-
yond everything else. No harsh or unbe-
coming criticisms were indulged in by the
speaker, but before concluding he depicted
the weakness and helplessness of t'he third
party In such terms that it sounded like an
invitation to their funeral.
BRiINGHtTRST AT NAVAgOTA.

Bringhurst, candidate for state superin-
tendent of instruction, delivered his lecture,

TAYLOR UNCONFlRM'&t).
Washington, May 8.—The senate dis-
cussed the nomination of C. H. J. Taylor,
the Kansas colored man, to be recorder of
deeds for the District of Columbia, for an
hour while In executive session to-day, and
adjoutned without taking action. Several
speeches were made in opposition, and Sen-
ator Martin made the only speech in sup-
port. He contended that as this appoint-
ment had gone for many terms to negroes,
and not residents, the arguments against
Taylor on these grounds were without
foundation. The opposition to-day was
based entirely on Taylor's non-residence
and the arguments were for home rule In
the district. During the session a circular
was shown on the floor dated in OctobeiT,
signed by Taylor as the president of the
negro national democratic league, which
created some merriment. In this he speak®
of President Cleveland as "the giant re-
former of the age," and praises Secretary
Carlisle and Senator Voorhees In extrava-
gant language for the part they took ih
the repeal of the Sherman law, and tells
how Mr. Carlisle "obviated the ruihoui
Issue of bonds pending the dilatory action
of the senate upon the silver bill."
TWO HUNIDROOD AGiAiINttfT THREE.
Brazil, Ind., May 8.—The scenes of to-day
were the most excitilng since the com-
mencement of the ibiig strike. About 200
miners marched in line, headed by a bra«s
band, through Main street late t'hls after-*
noon to the Nellie mine and demanded that
three miners—(Harry, Claude and Verr*
James—quit work. This they refused to do,
and it looked for a whKe like a desperate
fight wou»ld occur, but the arrival of a force
of deputies prevented trouble.
The James boys are stalwart men and
wa.lked to the center of the mob and t»K$
them they woukl work In spite of all
intimidation. This created another row,
but the crowd kept a respectful distance
from them, as it was understood that
they were armed. The miners are or-
ganized and claim they will force the»
James boys to quit work, consequently
serious trouble Is anticipated. The mine
is located a Short distance southeast ot
the city.
