Fine Strawberries.
The Nf. vVS received yesterday fioui Mr.
G. W. Durant at Alviu a box of fine sample
strawberries, grown at Mr. Duranc's place,
Tha samples were from the flower lip
through all the grades to the full rips
bo.'ry, showing that neither the plant nor
•mil was in anyway hurt by the present
cold ana,). The berries were some that
weru planted last July and allowed to run
as th"y pleased, henca the vines gavo some
protection to tho fruit. Mr. Durant says,
however, that ihey are a fair sample of his
entire acreage in this delicious fruit. They
show that the future crop for this season
will be good. Where the crop has been
thinned the berries will be retarded several
•weeks ir. ripening, but the perfect blooms
that are now making tho!rappearance indi-
cate that tha lovers of this delicious fruit
can fe-i.st upon strawberries until tha latter
part of June.

THE OAI.VE9TON HOPE AND TWINE FACTOIIY.
The corner-stone of tho Galveston rope
and twine factory, which will occupy tbe
block just east o." tho Galveston baitging
factory, was laid yesterday with appropri-
ate ceremony, President A. B. Homer
presiding and dispensing bumpers of
foaming beer to tho faithful toilers
with the trowel. This building is being
const ructed on the day labor plan instead of
l>«ing let out by contract, and though it will
be of similar dimensions to the bagging fac-
tory it will not cost when completed more
than half the cost of that building. In
other words Mr. Homer says that tho cost
of the building will not exceed $50,000.
The corner-stone was laid yesterday in the
southeast, corner of the building.
The east side of the stoue bears the in-
scription, "A. D. 1800. Galveston Ropo and
Twine company. 1). H. Dyer, architect,
Fall River, Mass." The south side of the
Stiono bears the namo of tho officers and di-
rectors of tho comoauy: "Arthur B. Ho-
mer, president; J. D. Rogers, vice-president;
Geo. Sealy, treasurer;directors: Leon Blum,
II. A. Landes, L. S. McKinuoy aud N. H.
Bicker."
The building will bo a one story structure
.100x120 feet, with office, boiler and engine-
rooms and picker-room each 80x40 feet.- The
mill will be supplied with a 150-foot brick
chimney and equipped with a 200-horse
power Corliss compound tandem engine, ar-
ranged to double its capacity at any timo
by putting in a twin engine without stop-
ping tho work.
The Galloway boilers will be of 300 horse
power. By the use of economizers all the
motive power will bo arranged so as to
double it at any time. A new feature in
this will be the rope transmission. Instead
of a main driving belt the machinery will
be run by al}.< Inch four strand manilln
ropo with ten strands of ropo running over
tho grooves on the drive wheel. The build-
ings, with store liousos,-etc., will cover the
entire block except a passageway of tliirty-
ftvofeet through the center of the block.
The plans for this building have been
examined and approved by Mr. Stratton,
inspector for the Manufacturers' Mutual
Insurance companies, who pronounces the
construction perfect, from an insurance
standpoint, and omo of the few buildings in
the city that will pass a first-class inspec-
tion. When the Sprinkler system i3 put. in
the entire plant will insure for 1 per cent
in the Mutual, which is equivalent to about
a quarter of I per cent per annum. The
store-house, where tho manufactured pro-
duct arid raw material are to be stored, wiil
insure for half of 1 per cent, which goes to
illustrate the importance of properly con-
structed buildings, with all modern appli-
ances for tho prevention and suppression of
fire.
Mr. Homer, who is personally super-
vising the woi lc, expects to have the build-
: iug completed by May 1. and ready for
; operation by August 1. The mill will be
\ started with half its operating capacity and
| will ba able to turn out live tons of binder
twine or seven and a half tons of ropo of
j manilla or sisal, together with one ton of
I col fou rope; or twino per dayjot' ten hours.
The mill equipped with all the necessary
j machinery will cost about 1125,000.

The presence of these prominent real es-
tato men of Denver in the city kept the
local veal estate dealers pretty busy during
tbe day in making their acquaintance and
ascertaining their wishes regarding pros-
pective investments, henco the week opened
light so fat- as concerns actual transactions.

The leading members of the western syn-
dicate who purchased the 660 acres in the

veston, though Mr. O'Donuell of Denver
and Senator Fishback of Arkansas

huve had numerous meetings of late dis-
cussing details. As to the method of im-
proving their property, they have decided
to appropriate f50,030 to ba used toward
laying off the property In an addition to
Galveston. Tha lots in the new addition
will be 25 feet wida instead o^40. as are the
ct her lots in the city. In nearly all the new
towns in the west 25-foot lots havo been
found to be the most conveni-
ent division of the blocks. They
are now awaiting tha determination of the
Galveston City Straet Railway company re-
garding the equipment of tiieir lines with

BUILDING IMPROVEMENT.
o.i the four stories has been completed, and
all that is necessary to complete the build-
lug as fur as tha brink v. ork'is concerned is
the towers and engine-room, upon which a
number of workmen were engaged yester-
day. The work is being rapidly pushed for-
ward so as to have eveiytliinsr in readiness
in order co p'.aco tha machinery in tho build-
ing when it arrives which will b,' in about
one week. The roofing was being placed
upon the main portion yesterday and will
be of gravel.
The first work was commenced on tlia
structure on October 15, and since then it
lias been carried on steadily without delay,
in regard to a sufficient number of hands lo
put the mill in operation it was learned
that n great quantity will bairaported from
tho mills north. The building will bo
raady for occupancy about the 15th of April.
It, occupies the block between Church and
Winnie and Fortieth aud Forty-first streets.
FOB Til BIB KMI'I.OYE:-.
The two blocks of ground bet wean Win-
nie street and avenue II, bounded by Forty-
first and Forty-third streets, nro being filled
tip above the levol of tho street grading,
aud when this is finished a number of cot-
taifcs will be erected upon tho ground. Con-
tractor Mcllenry, who has tho contract for
constructing ttie houses, said to a News
man yesterday that as soon as tbe work of
grading the hind would lie finished he would
Htart immediately building 'he residentes.
About forty will be cons'.muted and will bo
rented only to thu employes of rhacotton
mill for their families, being o^y about a
halt block from thu factory and convenient
to work. The work of constructing them
will be commenced shot lly and a number of
mechanics will bo employed in order to
havo them ready by the time the cotton
mill will commencc operations.
SOON TO BE ERECTED.
The olel frame building on tho northwest
corner of Twenty-fourth and Mechanic
street is being torn down and the material
carried away. Upon this ground will lie
constructed a handsome five-story brick
building by Messrs. Clarke & Courts, who
lately purchased the property for that pur-
pose. The ohi building has stood there for
many years aud greatly marred the appear-
ance of the general surrouiulings." The
Clarke & Courts building, to be used as a
printing establishment, will greatly en-
hance the beauty of the block, ami will no
doubt be a magnificent structure.
The block upon which tho waterworks

AMUBEMI3NTS.
Close of the Lizzie Evans Enfraeement—
Lewis Morris in Faust.
Miss Lizzie Evans, tho popular little sou-
brette star who made her reputation hero
sevoral years ago in Fogg's Ferry, closed
lier engagement at the Treinont last
riiglij In a double bill, the three-act comedy
Fiuo Feather?, concluding with the well
known one-act comedy Xan, tho Good for
Nothing. In both bills Mis:; Evans acquit-
ted herself with credit and won plaudits of
an audience considerably larger than the
one that greeted her ou iter opening night.
MORRISON'S FAUST.
The next attraction at the Tremont will
be Lowis Morrison In his spectacular pro-
duction Faust, on Friday and Saturday
nights with a Saturday matinee.
The version of Faust given by Lewis Mor-
rison, says the Philadelphia Ledger, i.s that
prepared by Bayle Bernard. It is dramati-
cally eirectivo and well written. Although
it naturally reminds one of Henry Irving's
production of Faust, it can not, lie
said to be an imitation, for originality is
displayed in the details of the scenes, and
the character of Mephistopheles is entirely
different from that presented by Mr. Irving.
Tho latter made an excee-diugiy grotesque
and offensively cynical Meuhistppheles. Mr.
Morrison did not tlo that. Ho was light and
rollicking at times, but underneath there
was to bo seen a controlling melancholy,
lie delivered his lines with expression, and
altogether played tho part beyond criticism.
It was superb acting.
