Did Not Get Started.
It wa» the plan of the management of the
Street Railway company to start the new
electric cars on the Fannin-Travis street
belt to-day, but the electricity wouldn't re-
spond and the result was that the cars did
not start. A number of friends of the com-
pany gathered at the power house on Com-
merce street at 10 o'clock and enjoyed re-
freshments of a suitable kind preparatory
to taking an electric whirl on the
west end belt. The refreshments were
delightful. but when the guests
were ready the whirl was not there,
to that feature was announced as postponed
for the afternoon. Several of the omciala
and Invited suests wore present at the time
indicated, and when two beautiful cars
glided out of the car shed and were placed
on the Proston street line, all by hand,
everyDody was ready to enjoy tho ride. But
still the invisible power could not bo con-
trolled. and the crowd that stood aronnd
were again disappointed, and Mr. Guess,
the electrician, said that such was often the
case in attempting to get lines started.
There are a number of parts to be tested
before the scheme will work. Tho next at-
tempt will be mads iu the morning, so that
there will be no disappointment it failure
should again result.
Til* Meeting Saturday Night.
There is clearly a great deal of earnest-
ness In the people who are moving in the
effort to have a big meeting Saturday night
at tho market house to do what they be-
lieve to be for the good of this city. Judge
Hamblen, who owns a good deal of propers
ty Jiers and who is a prominent lawyer at
the bar, is a loader in the movement and is
fully in favor of law and order, and he
thinks that some steps ought to be taken
to remove any damaging impres-
sions that may have gotten abroad
about Houston. He says the people of
Houston ought to be there, and the meeting
is for every good citizen in town. Two
bands of musio have been Bocnrod for the
evont, and several speakers have been se-
lected. They are anxious to have the com*,
pletest harmony, as every citizen is inter-
ested in Its success. The idea seems to be
not to antagonize nny, but to get all in the
movement for the good that is to be accom-
plished. Those who seem to know most
about it say there are good people in the
city who have not come forward in tho
matter because they do not thoroughly un-
derstand the object.
A Musical Treat.
The second of the sorles of summer night
concerts by Herb's Light Guard band at
Hutchlns' nark will take place to-morrow

Wind and Dut.
This evening betwen t! and 7 o'clock a
dark cloud was noticed eajt of the city.
Everything was very quiet, and the ordi-
nary eye glancing at it would hardly have
rested upon It a second, butinasmall party
of gentlemen some one called attention to
it. County Clerk Winkler looked in that
direction and said; "We will have a blow
pretty soon."
Kach one thought the county clerk was
doing all the blowing that would be done,
but before twenty minutes had passed a
gust of wind came up from that direction
and soon the dUBt was so thick in the streets
that one could not see half a block ahead.
The wind whizzed along at a lively rate,
and soon everybody was making a general
rush for places of safety. It lusted only
a few minutes, however, but made things
lively while it did, many persons enter-
taining the idea that it might be a cyclone.
It was attended by only a few large drops
of rain.
Stonewall's Meeting.
There was a special meeting last night
of the members of Stonewall Fire company
at the house, on Smith street. It was to
consider an Invitation from the Chosen
Friends to attend a picnlo to be given at
Opitz park Sunday, the &>th instant.
The courtesy stirred up a good deal of en-
thusiasm and the invitation was accepted
with much pleasnre, and there will be a
large attendance of the members of the
company.
The meeting also decided to make some
changes in the constitution and by laws.
Recovering Mora Stolen Goods.
Captain John Morriss, who arrested four
boys recently fo? the theft of brass and
other valuables from the old Wiggins &
Simpson foundry, is still recovering stolen
property. Yesterday and to-day be get
back 5o0 pounds cf set screws, considered
very valuable. £s»m Millican and William
Demestue have given bond and were re-
leased from ]aiL W. M. Connors and Frank
Wells are still in tke bastile awaiting the
day of trial. _____
Soldier Bcya Happy.
The statement In th» papers this morn-
ing that the state encampment would be
held this year at AustU instead of Aransas
Harbor was read with much pleasure by
the local soldiery, who save ratber a lean-
ing to Austin. This is Carticnlarly true of
the famous Light Guard, who have many
friends there, and are a'ways haopy. It
will doubtless result in the attendance of
largor companies from heri
The Courts.

Brenham Buzzings.
Brenham, Tex., June 11.—a society evont
of more than usual interest occurred la3t
night—It beingagerman tendered by Mr.
and Mrs. F. Kiber, complimentary to Miss
Ida Bell of Fort Worth. The elegant par*
lors were well filled with guests, some
fifteen couples engaged in dancing until th e
Mweo sma' hours ayont the twal." The ger-
man was led by Mt. T. H. Dwyer and Miss
Bell. The occasion will be long romem-.
bered with pleasure by the participants.
The Bronham Light Guard are drilling
regularly three times a week, the full
strength of the company being represented
on each night.
It is a fact, patent to all, that though the
company is already a flue one these drills
aro perfecting them, and in future contests
will tell greatly in the company's tavor.
No small honors have been gained by the
boys in pa3t contests, but they aspire to
6till greater things, which they will un-
doubtedly achieve.
The ministers of the different Baptist
churches throughout the county held aeon*
vention yesterday at which it was decided
to commence camp meeting in the near
future at some place in the county. A
number of places were suggested, but no
decision was arrived at, though it is thought
they will conclude to hold it near Brenham.
They meet again to-morrow night and will
then decide upon the time and place.
The recent rains have been oZ vast bene-
fit to the farming interest. Crops wore clean
and in proper condition for rain and, just
about the necessary amount fell.
STATE PENITENTIARIES.
Lively Times at New Birmingham.
New Birmingham, Tex., June 11.—Major
T. J. Goree has been appointed general
agent of the New Birmingham Iron and
Land company instead of assistant in the
land department. He is also one of the in-
corporators of the New Birmingham Pips
Works, which will cost when completed
$100.000,work on which is now being pressed
with all possible vigor. Hands and teams
not beincr sufficient for the demands con-
siderable rivalry exists between the Star
and Crescent and the Tasse Belle furnaces
and the pipe works, and wages are climb-
ing every day, one asserting they can pay
as much as the others.
The vote of the people on levying a special
tax to supplement the school fund was
unanimous; not a vote was cast against it.
At the last council meeting an ordinance
was passed issuing $7000 in bonds to build
a school house. They have already been
placed at par. This is the first and only
debt New Birmingham has.
The assessment was completed a few days
ago, and at a very low estimate the assess*
meat of the city property amounted to $424,-
000. m

EX-INSPECTOR HOLLAND DISCUSSES
THE CONVICT PROBLEM.
White Convicts Can lie lit formed, bnt the
Negroes Are Not IIU tit That Way—
Tlielr Treatment Generally Hu-
mane—Tbe Sugar Plantation.
Dallas, Tex., Juno 11.—Colonel W. C.
Holland, ex-inspector of Texas peniteniti-
aries. was interviewed to»day by a News j
reporter concerning hi3 observations of i
prlsou discipline and the general condition
of the state convicts.
"What, Colonel, are your conclusions as
to the possibility of reforming convicts?"
the reporter proceeded.
"White convicts can be reformed, but ne-
gro convicts cannot be. I have found in the
penitentiary negroes serving their sixth
term, and many of them will leave with the
full determination to go back. In fact they
say so. A very large percentage of the ns-*
groes in the penitentiary are bootblacks
from the cities of the state."
"How did you find discipline?"
"Generally good."
"Are the convicts humanely treated?"
"In the main, they are."
"Are they afforded opportunities for
religious instructions?"
"In outside camps they have no such op-
portunities. There is no preaching on tho
farms or at the railroad camps."
"Do you consider that the objects of ponal
servitude—the protection of society and the
reformation of the convict—are carried out
by the camp syntem of ponal discipline?"
"They are net and they never will be un-
til the state assumes entiro control."
"Did you And complaints numerous from
the convicts?"
"In some camps I did, while in others 1
found scarcely any."
"What was the character of tho com-
plaints?"
"In some instances overwork and short
food."
"What were the maximum hours of work
found by you? Did you find that convicts
had b«*eu worked as many as sixteen hours
a day?"
"My answer to that question will be
found in :ny report to the superintendent."
"What course would you recommend in
tho way of reformation?"
"To put the convicts exclusively under
tbo control and management of the state,
lotting the state by all means feed them,
taking that and all other control out of the
hands of contractors"
"Are you opposed to the system of leasing
out convicts?"
"Except where the state has entire super-
vision of their control."
"How is the state sugar plantation got-
ting along?"
"It has proved an eminent success. It
provides labor for from 150 to 200 convicts,"
"Was complaint made to you by the con-
victs on that plantation of short food ox-
long hours?"
"Not at all. It is managed by the state,
and tho convicts are properly fed and
looked aiter. On the state's plantation
there is no trouble and there aro no es-
capes. Negro preachers under sentence
preach to the convicts on the plantation."
"Do you adviso an extension of the state
plantation system?"
"I do. My idea is to have the state pur-
chase sullicient raw land to employ the
labor of 500 convicts. Such laud can be
bought in Fort Bend, Wharton or Brazoria
at from £5 to $0 an acre. 1 would have all
tho necro labor in tho penitentiary em-
ployed In that way. You cannot work white
labor on sugar plantations. White men
cannot stand it."
WILL CARRY THE GOSPEL TO AFRICA.
A Well Known Wacoiso's Departure—Census
Figures—First Wheat.
Waco, Tex. June 11.—Mr. H. w. Hubby
left this morning for New York to take a
course there iD the missionary medioal in-
stitute, preparatory to going to Equatorial
Africa as a Southern Methodist missionary
to the black tribes of the Soudan. Mr.
Hubby is a prominent citizen and had for
years been asuccossful building contractor
in this city. He has accumulated consider**
able property and was doing well in all re-
spects. Ho says he feels callod upon to take
the step he has undertaken.
Mr. Joseph McCann, special agent of the
United States census bureau, who came to
Texas under orders to establish local agents
in gathering statistics of manufacturing
interests, started for Charleston, S. C. to-
day in response to an order by wire direct-
ing him to that point. He expects tore-
turn again and take up the work in Texas.
He remarked to The News correspondent
that every plant, however small, would bo
counted, and that tho showing would greats
ly exceod ordinary conjectures. In other
words, that Texas has more manufacturing
establishments than io commonly sup-
posed.
The first lot of wheat of the present har-
vest was marketed here to-day by Mr. N.
W. Harris, a farmer of tho Bosque valley,
seven miles west of Waco. It is strict No.
2 milling test, 60 pounds to the bushel, and
brought 00 cents, which is a premium price.
Will H. .Mayas, editor of the Brownwood
Bulletin, and hecretary of the Peco3 Valley
Fair association, referring to reports of the
meeting in Waco on the 9th instant of rep-
resentatives of race and fair associations,
said to The News correspondent: "Those
reports Wero somewhat misleading, and
without correction wou.d do injustice to
several associations whose dates come be^
fore tho Dallas stato fair. The Comanche
fair's dates, already fixed, are September 23
to 23. The Pecos valley fair of Brownwood
has dates September 2iJ to October 2. The
Concho fair October 5 to 10, and the Taylor
fair will probably be held October 13 to 16,
ali tkose dates, you will notice, being be-
forothe Dallas fair, which opens October
17. The Waco representatives thought best
to fix their dates just after Dallas. No cir-
cuit was formed, it merely being agreed to
work in harmony, avoiding so far as possi-
ble, all conflict in dates."

and will bo a busy term. The Rio Grando
railroad robbers and accomplices will be
tried. Una of the latter is reported to be in-
sane. Proofs are believed to be conclusivo
against them; besides, ali of them, except
the oue reported crazy, has tnade a volunw
tary writteu confession. Besides these cases
are the election cases from Starr and
Hidalgo counties and the Point Isabel
lighthouse condemnation suit.
'lhe land upon wflich the lighthouse is
situated belongs to private parties. This
case v. as in court at tbe last term, but as
the money was not placed by the govern-
ment in control of the court the case was
continued. Last week tho owners of the
property took formal possession, it having
been heretofore in char«;o of the govern-
ment, although not having been lighted for
several years, the machinery having been
removed about four years since.
Tho contractor for building the United

ness. He has several ranches near Mata-
moras. He is now in his 66th year, bale aud

He has buried his implement of v/ar and

Since the duty has been taken off of cers
tain classes of sugar tho house of Louis
Kowlsky has received large quantities of
seioucillo from Monterey and other points
in Mexico, it being much cheaper than
other sugars, is used exclusively by the
lower classes and consequently but little if
auy is shipped to the interior of the state,
as t he entire amount imported is usod here.
Mr. 1J. G. Duval, who for a number of
yonrs heretofore has held tho position of

Tho First National bank opened for busi-
ness Friday, Juno 5. and from the present
outlook promises to be a success. Tho first

supplying a long felt want in this section.
Although there wero good raius during

As A Preventive
For Consumption and Catarrh, which originate in the poison of Stftofula,
take Aye^s Saraaparilla. The existence of this taint, in the blood, may be
detected in children by glandular swellings, sore eyes, sore ears, and other
indications, and unless expelled from the system, life-long suffering
will lie the result. The best medicine for all blowl diseases is Ayer'a
Sarsaparilla, which is considered by physicians to be tho only remedy
for Scrofula deserving the name of a specific. I)r. J. AV. Itosworth, of
I'hilippi, W. Va.. says : "Several years ago I prescribed Ayer'a Sarsapa-
rilla for a little girl, four years of age (member of a prominent family of
this county), who was afflicted with scrofula. After only three or four
I Kittles were used, the disease was entire!) eradicated, and she is now iu
excellent health."
"My son—now fifteen years of age — v.ss troubled for a long tiino
with catarrh, in its worst form, through tho effects of which his bio d
became poisoned. About a year ago lie liegan using Ayer s Sarsaparilla,
and is now entirely well."—D. P. Kerr, Hig Spring, Ohio.
" My husband's mother was cured of scrofulous consumption by six
bottles of Aver's Sarsaparilla."—Mrs. Julia Shepard, Kendall, Mich.
"Ayer'a Sarsaparilla cured me of catarrh."—L. IIeiirickon,A\ are, Mass.
