MAYOR FLY INSTALLED.
FAREWELL ADDRESS OF THE RETIR-
ING MAYOR, HON. R, L FULTON.
Remarks by Mayor Fly—All the Members
of the New Board on Hand but
One—Oouucil Proceedings.
Aftor ten years of consecutive aervico as
mayor of Galveston, Hon. Roger L. Fulton
yesterday afternoon laid down tho gavol and
retired, turning over the office to his suc-
cessor, Dr. A. W. Fly, who was chosen as
mayor at trio election on Juno 5.
Shortly aftor 11 o'clock crowds of people be-
gan to movo toward tho city hall to witness
the closing scones attending the re-
tirement of tho old rogimo and the
inauguration of tho now. Many soomed to
think that something startling and sensa-
tional was going to happen and they hung
around tho corridor down stairs until the
council was called to order, and then they
climbed up stairs and packed themselves in a
solid, sweating and swoltormg mass against
the iron railing which shut them out from the
portion of tho room sot apart for the council
aud city officers.
The members of the retiring council and
tho newly elected aldermen were on hand
promptly, aud just as the clock in tho towor of
the city hall tolled out the hour of 4 Mayor-
elect Fly onterod tho doorway and with Mayor
Fulton proceeded to tho council chamber.
It was a close, suitry and uncomfortable
afternoon and not the slightest broezo tem-
pered tho intense heat which seemed to con-
centrate its overpowering force upon the
council chamber. Everybody perspired and
gaspod, while hundkerchiefs, fans and hats
were brought into requisition to got somo ro-
liof from the opprossivo heat.
Just before tho meeting was called to order
a largo and beautiful bouquet of llowors was
ptaced upon the mayor's table, intended for
Dr. Fly, and pretty bouttonieres wore dis-
tributed among tho mom bora of tho now
council, tho gift of a lady of this city.
mayok fulton and his buccessob,
Dr. Fly, entered tho council chambor a few
minutes after 4 o'clock, the formor looking as
calm, pleasant and unrutllod as if nothing had
happenod to break tho long, even tenor of his
official career and his companion glancing
about him with tho air of a man fully realiz-
ing the situation which confronted him.
Mayor Fulton and Dr. Fly took seats at tho
presiding officer's desk, tho old members of
the council occupying their accustomed seats
and the nowly elected members being dis-
tributed around the hall awaiting installation
Mayor Fulton brought his gavel down with a
sharp thwack and said:
"Tho council will come to order. Mr.
Clork please call the roll."
City Clerk Dan Buckley called the roll and
the following aldermen answered to their
names: Bolton, Fowler, Gallagher, Goggan,
Harris, Jaques, Kaiser, Levy, Mason, Rey-
mershofler, Schmidt, Schriebor, Walsh, Weg-
ner; absent: Boysen and Levine.
Alderman Boysen came in while the min-
utes were being road.
Tho minutes of last Saturday's moetmgs
woro read.
Alderman Kaiser stated at the conclusion
of the reading of the proceedings of tho
special meeting, at which tho returns of the
election wore canvassed, that ho had roceived
85 votes in tho Third ward but tho tally sheots
and roturns did not show that ho had received
any; however, ho had no contest to make, but
merely called attention to tho matter as show-
ing an error in tho count somewhere.
When the minutes of the business meeting
were read Alderman Walsh asked to have his
vote on tho labor ordmauco corrected, saying
that ho had voted "no," but the clerk had put
him down as voting in the affirmative.
Alderman Jaquos raised an objection to
Alderman Walsh blaming the error on
tho clerk, and Alderman Goggan re-
plied to him, as did Alderman
Walsh himself. The clork was instructed to
note tho correction of Alderman Walsh's vote,
and then the book was passed over to Mayor
Fulton, who affiled his official signature to the
minutes, thus closing his
TEN years of official SERVICE.
Tho mayor announced that the next thing
in order was the installation of the newly
elected officers, and said:
"I will request the alderman from the First
ward to introduce his successor to the coun-
cil."
Alderman Boysen rose and with a blush and
a smilo said: "I am gratified to state that I
am my own successor. The people have sont
mo back here to represent the First ward, and
I shall do my utmost to discharge that duty
faithfully, earnestly and satisfactorily."
The mayor next called for tho alderman
from the Socond ward to introduce his suc-
cessor, and Alderman T. J. Gallagher rose
aud said that, like Aldorman Boysen, his peo-
ple had sent him back for another term, and
he would do the best he could to represent
them.
Mayor Fulton called for the Third ward and
Alderman Goggan introduced Mr. William
Keppon, who bowed gracefully to the council
and took his seat.
Alderman J. H. Bolton introduced Mr. Rob-
ort Webbor as his successor to roprcsont the
Fourth ward and Mr. Webber said he was
tnoro for the best he could do for tho people
of Galveston and took his place.
Alderman Walsh introduced Mr. J. B.
Baudonon as his succossor iu the Fifth ward,
saying: "He is a young man I feel proud to
introduce to you as in every way worthy of
your respect, and I am satisfied he will make
a good alderman."
There was some applause from outside tho
railing at this, and Mr. Baudonon said; "Gen-
tlemen of tho council and fellow citizens, I
am proud of this occasion, and can only say
that I am hero to do tho best I can for the m-
torost of tho people of the Fifth ward and of
all of tho people of Galveston."
Tho Sixth ward was next called and Alder-
man Jaques arose, while somo of his admirers
on tho other side of tho railing greeted him
with a demonstration in the way of dapping
their hands and stamping their feet. Ho said;
"All I have got to say is that I hope I shall bo
as steadfast in my duty in tho next two years
as I have been in the past four months, and 1
promise you I shall do tho best I can."
Alderman Harris next introduced Mr.
Thomas W. Jackson as aldorman from tho
Seventh ward, saying: "I take pleasure in
introducing to you Mr. Thomas W. Jackson,
who will represent the people of the Seventh
ward, and it is my pleasure to say that the
people of that ward will have an efficiont and
capable alderman while Mr. Jackson repre-
sents them. He is a worthy citizen and will
servo tho people well."
Mayor Fulton said: "In the absence of the
aldorman from the Eighth ward I would re-
quest the alderman from tho Seventh—I mean
Mr. Harris—to introduce the now alderman
from the Eighth."
Mr. Harris said: "Mr. President nnd gon-
tlemon of tho council, I am pleased to intro-
duce to you Mr. Cornelius J. Williams, the
newly elected alderman from the Eighth
ward. Ho is tho youngest momber of tho
council and perhaps the youngest tho city
council of Galveston has ever had. I can com-
mend him to you as in evory way worthy. He
was born here in our community of poor but
honest parents and has oducated himself, not
only in ordinary branches but has educated
himself as a lawyer. Ho will make you a good
member and I commend liira, not only to this
council, but to every young man in Galveston,
white or black, as an example worthy of emu-
lation."
Alderman Williams is tho colorod member
who succeeds to the chair of Aldorman Pierce
Levine, and Ald9rman Harris' neat introduc-
tion was roceived with applause by tho crowd
on the outside.
Alderman Williams responded with a prom-
ise to do his duty as fully and conscientiously
as his ability would permit. Ho was there to
work tot Ike bebt interest of the city and to
promoto tho progress and prosperity of tho
ptople*
When tho Ninth ward was roachod Mayor
Fulton said:
"1 regret to say that the gentleman electod
to represent the Ninth ward is absent by rea-
son of sickness, and I would ask Aldorman
Schmidt to mako such remarks as ho feels in-
clined*
Alderman Schmidt said: "I rogrot that
Mr. Spillane, who has boon oloctod to ropro-
sont tho Ninth ward, can not bo present but [
am satisfied he will mako a good aldorinau."
Aldorman Bon Levy introduced himsolf as
his own successor from tho Tenth ward, say-
ing ho would in tho future, as in tho pust, do
his best to servo tho pooplo whom ho ropro-
scnted.
Aldorman Wognor said: "I introduco my-
soif as the aldonnan from tho Eloronfth ward,
an I havo dono sovcral times before, and can
say no more than that I will continuo to do
all I can for tho best interests of tho people."
Aldorman Schriebor introduced himself as
his own successor from the Twolfth, and this
disposed of the newly electod ward represent-
atives. After a little pause Mayor Fulton
said: "I would ask Aldorman Kaiser to in-
troduco Aldorman Wren.
Aldorman Wron camo forward nnd Mr.
Kaiser introduced him, saying ho folt sure ho
would make an efficient officer.
Mr. Wron said: "1 thank thogontloman for
what ho has said, and it shall bo my aim to
use whatevor ability I havo to sorvo the
people."
Aldorman Reymershoffer was roquosted to
introduce Alderman Honderson, and when
tho long man, whoso conscience rebelled at
tho official outh, straightened up and started
forward, the crowd in the lobby broke out in
a shout of applause. Aldorman Reymershof-
fer said: "Permit mo to introduco to you Mr.
D. B. Henderson, lately elected alderman at
largo. He is a good accountant, which will
bo of groat advantage when ho goes to look at
tho books, and he is a good business man. He
is also a good financier, something of which
tho council will stand in need, and he will
mako you a good alderman.
"And now, gentleman of the council," con-
tinued Mr. Roymorshotfer, "in retiring from
this body, whore I have served six years, I
beg to roturn my thanks for the many courte-
sios which have been extended me by all the
members of tho city government during my
period of service. I will always look back
with satisfaction to tho fact that tho people
have olocted me to this position and that I
havo always tried to do my duty. I may havo
orrcd in my judgment at times, but this 1 can
say: I have belonged to no cliques nor com-
binations, and havo over looked to tho interest
of all tho pcoplo, the laboring man and the
capitalist alike."
These romarks woro applauded and Mr.
Henderson paid his respects to the council,
saying: "I foel keenly the duties resting upon
me in assuming the office vacated by Mr.
Itoymershoffer and can only say that if at the
end of my term I shall have succeeded in ac-
complishing ouo-half as much for the good of
Galveston as he has done I shall feel satis-
fied."
Mayor Fulton requested Alderman Fowler
to introduce Alderman P. N. Harris and Mr.
Fowler said: "Mr. President and gentlemen
of the council, I bog to present to you Mr.
P. N. Harris who has been returned by the
sutfrages of the people as alderman at large.
It would be superfious for me to toll you who
Mr. Harris is; his record speaks for itself, and
a tree is known by its fruits."
Alderman Harris responded in an eloquent
and stirring talk, pledging himsolf to do his
utmost to promote the interest of Galveston
and telling tho council when in need of wind
to call on him.
At the request of Mayor Fulton Alderman
Mason introduced Alderman at Largo Paul
Gruetzmacher, who said that the people by
olecting him had trusted him and it would bo
his wholo endoavorto deserve that trust.
mayor fulton's farewell address.
The new aldermanio board having been
soatod, Mayor Fulton rose, while a buzz of in-
terest ran through the crowd, and delivered
his addross introducing Dr. Fly as his suc-
cessor. He said:
Gentlemen of the council: We havo mot to for-
mally transfer tho government of the munici-
pality to tho hands of tho mayor and board of
aldermen oloctod by tho people on tho 5th instant.
Before introducing to you my successor in
office I wish to extend to tho members of tho out-
going board, over which I have presided for tho
past two years, my thanks for their uniform
courtesy and kindness and my congratulations
on tho successful inauguration of tho very im-
portant works of public improvement author-
ized during their term of oflice. In laying down
my public duties and retiring to private life,
after presiding over tho deliberations of this
body continuously for a period of ten years, it
gives mo groat satisfaction to recall tho advancos
made by this community during that time in
social progress and material development,
Our commerce has been enlarged; ample ap-
propriations securod for doenening our bar; our
manufactures have been diversified; our churches,
schools, hospitals and charitable institutions
havo increased in number and broadoned in scope;
our harbor improvements havo readied tho point
of assured success, and many liandsomo struct-
ures of brick and stone have taken tho ploco of
old and dilapidated buildings.
Public improvement has kept pace with private
enterprise; miles of streets have been paved and
other miles aro under contract; wator for lire and
manufacturing purposes lias already been pro-
vided and an abundant supply of fresh water for
all other purposes has been contracted for; many
other improvements, unnecessary to mention,
havo boon completed, or are now under way. In-
deed, I can truly say, that the Galveston of to-day
shows great advancos in all directions over the
Galveston of ten years ago. Neither devastating
storm nor de ith-dealing epidemic has visitod
us, and a smaller defith rate than evor before re-
ported attests tho vigilanco of our health officers
and tho hoalthfulness of our surroundings. Peace
and order have prevailed. Life and property
have been secure. Crime has been suppressed.
Tho rights and privileges of all classes, without re-
gard to condition, race, religion or politics, havo
been respected. Financially tho city has never
boon in a healthier condition, as the books will
show. Tho old debt has been reduced to the ex-
tent of about $350,000. The interest on tho pub-
lic debt has been reduced from 8 and 10 to 5 per
cent and its payment has never boen dofaulted.
We have had no difficulty in negotiating at par
all tho bonds requited for works of public im-
provement. For the past eight years the city has
been on a cash basis and all salaries and othor
expenditures havo boon promptly paid at the
close of each month. I hope those favorable
conditions will continuo and that the administra-
tion now taking charge of affairs may havo a
successful and prosperous term.
I can not close without a word of grateful
acknowledgment, shared, I am sure, by every
member of tho community, to our proud galaxy
of philanthropists whoso benefactions havo
blessed us during the term of ten years of ray offi-
cial incumbency.
I vacate this chair with malice toward none,
with charity for all. and I can wish my successor
no better fortune than to bo able to meet tho
closo of his official career with a conscience as
cloar, a mind as quiet, and a spirit as unclouded
as mino are to-day.
I now take ploasure in introducing to you my
successor, Mayor A. W. Fly.
His closing remarks, as he handed the ebony
and silver-mounted gavel to Dr. Fly, were
greeted with enthusiastic applauso, which in-
creased as Dr. Fly rose to acknowledge the
introduction and assume the real duties of his
new office.
Dr. Fiy said: "Gentlemen of tho City Coun-
cil and Fellow Citizens: It is with no degree
of pleasure that 1 come before you this even-
ing, becauso the duties dovolvmg upon tho
mayor aro of gravo responsibility and I ain
well awaro that my path during rny term of
office will not b9 a bod of roses; in fact, this
bouquet that has boen presented to mo this
evening is probably the only collection of rare
flowers that it will be my pleasure to possess
for some time. But whatevor tho duties de-
volving upon your executive I shall endeavor
to meet fairly and justly, and in ordor that
the best interests of Galveston may be sub-
served it is tho earnest desire of your execu-
tive that tho utmost harmony shall prevail be-
tween tho legislative and tho executive
branches of tho municipal governmont for
the next two yoars, because wo aro all onlistod
in a common cause, tho wolfaro and prosper-
ity of Galveston, and if each member of this
council will join with me and work with that
degree of interest that men should, who aro
onlistod in a common cause, much good will
bo accomplished, and when our term of office
will have expired we will be enabled to have
said of us as of the servants of old 'Well done
thou good and faithful servant,'"
Upon the conclusion of Mayor Fly's re-
marks thoro was considerable applauso, and
when it had subsided he ordered the roll
called, and the aldormen of the new board re-
sponded as follows: Baudonon, Boysen, Gal-
lagher, Gruetzmacher, Harris, Henderson,
Jackson, .Jaques. Levy, Repnen, Schroiber,
Webber, Wogner, Williams, Wren.
Alderman Spillane was the only absentee,
being detained by siokness.
At the conclusion of tho call Mayor Fly
stated that in view of tho fact that thoro was
a contest in one of tho wards ho would sug-
gost that it would bo proper for somo aldor-
man to mako a motion to adjourn to moot on
Friday at 4 o'clock to tako up tho contest.
Alderman Jaques offered a motion to
that elfoct and Alderman Jackson roso and
said that being interested in that contest hu
would ask what mode of procedure thocouucil
proposed to adopt. Thfi oo&test was made
but ho had not roceived any notice and had
soon no affidavits in support of tho chnrgos
made and wanted to bo givon an opportunity
to moot the matter properly when it camo up.
Aldorman Wogner said this mooting had no
power to act on this matter and if a special
meeting was held to take it up it would havo
to bo called at tho request of a certain num-
ber of tho Aldermen.
Alderman Wren said ho thought tho propor
course was to call tho mattor up whon tho
mooting is hold and then for tho council to de-
cide how it would proceed and what course it
would adopt as to whether it would go into an
investigation.
Aldorman Jackson concodod tho correctness
of Alderman Wren's position, and Mayor Fly
stated that his object was to get the mattor
disponed of as soon as possible so tho council
might got to work on tho other business
beforo it.
Mr. Garthar, who is contesting Mr. Jack-
son's seut, asked permission to address tho
council, which was granted, and ho said that
ho cntorod his contest last Saturday and all ho
asked for was a fair and squaro showing when
it camo up.
Upon motion tho council thon adjourned.

Chief Miko Jordan was among tho numbor

Ho told the doctor thai he had exerted him-
self to defeat him, but having lost the fight

hold, is n virtual denial of tho inspiration of
the Scriptures.

A PLAN TO CUT THE BAR.
CAPTAIN DULLAHAN PROPOSES
FEET IN 60 DAYS.
20
Would Need Only a Deep Draught Steamer,
Three Anohors and $15,000
in Money.
Houston, Tex., Juno 11—a Nkwa corre-
spondent this morning had a short talk with
Captain Dullahan about deep water 011 tho
Galveston bar, and how it can bo hadspeedlly
and at comparatively littlo cost. His views
aro based on actual experience, and ho is
williug to back thom with vaiuos. Briefly
told, his plan is to get twenty feot of wator
across the bar for tho business of noxt season
instoad of waiting until tho jetty work is
done.
Before entering upon tho details of tho pro-
posed improvement it is noccssary, or rather
it should bo stated horo, that Mr. Dullalinn
has boon for fiftoon yoars engaged iu traltio
by boats aiong the gulf coast and on tho
waters of Buffalo bayou. Ho has seen tho
coast trade in all of its phases, and knows
perhaps as much of it as any man who has
boon in that line for tho Bame length of time.
In reply to a common iutorrogatory ho said:
"I can't tell you anything new, but will toll
you of a plan to got twenty feet of water in
sixty days over tho bar at Galveston, if you
want to print it. I will say in starting that it
is owing to tho length of the south jetty that
my proposed plan can bo mado a success. I
can cut, in sixty or ninety days at the outside,
a channel across tho bar at Galveston, mnking
a total depth of twenty feet, a width of 3U0
and a length of throe-quartorsof a mile, which
last, I think, crosses tho crest of tho bar. I
will tako a steamer 250 feot in length, with a
susceptible draft of twonty-two foet, but
capable of crossing tho bar with fourteen
feot, and placo it inside tho bar at a
depth of sixteen feot and will cut
through to that depth. I will place the
stem of tho vessel foremost, that is to tho
work. Will throw out three anchors from the
bow to Bteady the vossel. One will reach to
the front, ono on oach sido to the rear or aft.
These two would have a roach of 300 feet. The
propeller would bo put to work at a distance
of about six inches from the sand bottom. I
know the character of the bottom. The bow
of the boat being steady by the anchors the
stern can bo mado to play from ono sido of
the proposed channel to tho other, a distance
of 300 feot. The propeller will be say from
12 to 14 feet in diameter and its revolutions
will cut at the rate of a lineal foot a minute.
The boat will bo ballasted with water, the
dopth being rogulatod as neodod, covering a
range of from 14 to 22 foot. It will cut out or
dissipate the sand at tho rato of 300 feet lineal-
ly iu twelve hours. You can mako your own
estimate of how long It would tako to work
over the bar at that rato, a distance of three-
quarters of a mile.
"This channel would remain thoro, pro-
tected, as it would be, by tho south jetty. Be-
fore that jetty was there it would have filled
up by the first blow of any force. The wholo
work can bo done in sixty days to a certainty
uuloss the most unusual and unfavorable
woather and water conditions should interfore.
"To show you that I know what I am talk-
ing about, two years ago the Fairwind was
blown into tho shore and left in a foot and
a half of water just below whore now stands
the grain elovator. With a tug I cut out a
channel 5 feet deep, 350 feet long and 60 feet
feot wido; took her through it into deep wator
and tied her at tho wharf. It was dono in a
very short time. Tho Charles Fowler was to
be launched and to do it I, in the samo way,
dug a channel 7 feet deep, 50 feet wide
and 250 long in twenty hours and sho was
taken through that channel. These are facts
that people thero know well.
"I havo no boat that could do the work
across the bar, but I know of several that
would answer tho purpose well. Tho work
can bo done for $15,000, or about that, per-
haps a little moro, aud the channel be ready
for business in the fall. If I owned a boat
of tho desired size and make, worth $50,000, I
would bet it against half the money that I
could do the work as stated and in the timo. I
met a woll known and successful business
man of Galveston here the other day and told
him of the plan. He wanted mo to go to Gal-
veston and go before the chamber of com-
merce, make the statement and explain it."
