That Government Block.
The News' special telegram in this
morning's paper from Washington city re-
ferring to the arsenal tract of land belong*
ing to the United States government and
located in this city, created a good deal of
speculation to-day as to Its significance.
Revoking the order transferring ifc to the
department of the interior under a misap-
prehension of the facts seemed to
suggest the idea of there being
some big thing behind it The tract is a
block of ground 250 feet square, and is No.
108 in the Second ward. It was deeded by
the Aliens to tho government for the erec«»
tion of an arsenal. It is the block below
the gas house, frontiug on the bayou, and
so far as transportation on water goes, it
could not be more conveniently located,
and is only a short distance above the Gal-
veston, Houston and Henderson railway
bridge over the bayou. It is now consider-
ably washed into gullies, but of course
damage from that source could be very
easily remedied.

Moving for a New Court House, Jail and

A Chatty Review of the
^PTe«k*s Eventi.
Corpus christ!, Tex., March 28.-Colonel
John G. Prather, a prominent St. Louis
politician, and Colonel John N. Simpson,
president of the National Exchange bank
of Dallas, arrived in this city last Saturday
night, having coming to lish for tarpon.
Both are old friends but neither gentleman
knew that the other would be here on a
jaunt; at le.isi that's the way they tell is.
Well, the gentletneu throw themselves ou
the tender mercies of Judge John S. Mc-
Cambell and Claude Keeran, who, on learn-
ing their wants, immediately set to work
arranging a flah for their especial
benefit. Monday wna occupied in get-
ting the arrangements all per-
fected, and everything that was
good to cat and drink was placed on board
the revenue cutter Alma, William Laugh-
ton captain, and Claude Keeran's private
yacht, the Stella. Tuesday morning, bright
and early, with a clear sky and a fair wind,
the party, composed of about ten persons,
boarded the boats, the aails were spread
and away went the trim vessel", headed
straight for Corpus Christi pass, which
was rcached in due time.
After landing It required but a short
time to pitch camp and prepare dinner,
after which the fishing tacklo was brought
forth and the sport began. Some of the
party were contcnt to catch redflsh, which
bit freely, but the St. Louis politician and
the Dallas banker wanted big game and
fished only for tarpon. Now there
is no doubt that there are plenty
of tarpon at Corpus pass, but this is rather
early in the season for them and they bit
slowly or rather not at all the first day,
which ended only in the capture of a num-
ber of fine reufish sufficient to furnish sup-
per and breakfast. The following day,
however, the two tarpon flahermon met
with better luck, and while fishing from a
skiff about fifty yards from shore Colonel
Simpson had the great good fortune to
hook a fine tarpon. The Dallas gentlemen
was at once wild with joy, with excitement
running over the gunwale. He played
tho gamey denizen of the briny deep /or
fully an hour and of the two he himself
was the most tired and showed signs of dire
distress and fatigue. He pulled and he
tugged, and every time he looked
toward the shore he discovered that he
was gradually being taken to sc*w Knowing
that it would never do to be curried too far
seaward in a small rowboat, hs yelled for
Colonel Prather, who immediately pro-
cured another boat and went to the Dallas
gentleman's relief. He araved just in time,
for the gentleman with the tarpon was
completely exhausted and almost ready to
give up the fight. Colonel Prather was
fresh, however, and being a man of about
200 pounds' weight, he proved a match for
the tarpon, and began pulling him toward
tho shore. Others of the party then caine
to the rescue, and Claude Keeran, getting a
large boathook fastened in tho gills of tho
tarpon, soon landed his tarponic excellency
hign and dry on the beach. Tho tarpon was
certainly a noble specimen and weighed 87^
pounds one hour alter being taken from
the water. Ho was the only one caught,
but this was glory enough for Colonel
Simpson and nothing could Induce him to
cast unother hook in tho water during the
remainder of his stay at tho pass. He had
caught a tarpon—a big one—and he had
accomplished the object of his visit. With
Colonel Prather, however, it was different.
He, too, wanted tho credit of hooking a
tarpon; so he kopt diligently at work, but
to no avail, and finally ne came to the con*
elusion that he would have to give it up
and come at some better and more auspN
cious season. Last night the party re-
turned to town, all, especially the two dis-
tinguished visitors, highly elated with
their trip.
Getting tired of waiting for the county
commissioners to move in the matter of
building a new courthouse and jail, tho
people have taken the subject under con-
sideration and have gotten np the follow
ing petition:
To tho Honorable Commlsssioners' Court of
Nucces county, Tex.—Gentlemen: \ our petition-
ers most respectfuly represent that tho present
court house building and Jail of Nueces county
are entirely inadequate for the purposes for
which they are intended. That the jail Is inse-
cure aud unhealthful, and tho courthouse
building is an an liquate.1, badly and inconven-
iently constructed, and in no sonso con csponda
with the wealth and growing importance of
Nueces county.
Your petitioners, therefore, ask that your hon-
orable body take immediate steps under the
law to build a court house and jail for said
county to cost not le9S than $100,000. and to meet
this expense to issue the bonds of said county.
The petition bears hundreds of signa-
tures, among whom are many of the largest
property owners in the county. The court-
house here is a miserable structure, while
the jail is a disgrace to the county, and the
people have grown ttred of the slothfulness
of the commissioners. The county has not
a cent of indebtedness, has over $20,000 sur-
plus on hand, and has no place of security
in which to keep her valuable public docu-
ments. It is thought that the petition will
cause tho commissioners to wake up and do
something for the good of their county.
A meeting of the old confederates of the
county will be held to-night at the Light
Guard's armory for the purpose of organ-
izing a local camp of confederate veterans,
and speeches arc to be made by Hon. Stan-
ley Welch of this city. Judge Thos. Dodd of
Laredo and other prominent ex->confeder-
atea. The object of the camp will be social
enjoyment and to entei tain all ex-confed-
ates and old union soldiers who may visit
the city.
There is a loud cry among the people for
a system of waterworks, and it is thought
that before many more moons the cry will
be heeded. Oar citizens are beginning to
realize the great amount of good that will
accrue to the city from waterworks, and
they are also beginning to realize that
without them the growth of the city is be-
ing retarded, aud water will have to be
brought a distance of fifteen miles, and it is
estimated that it will cost a good deal less
than $200,000.

Little Rock, Ark., March 28.—In the
lobby of the house of representatives last
night ex-County Clerk Williams accused
Judge Martin, ono of tho owners of the
Briukley and Batesvillo railway of having
defeated the railway commission bill be-
sides the bill that Williams has before tho
house. Martin denied tho charge when
Williams drew a revolver and tried to sUoot
him. Martin jumped from his seat,
knocked Williams down and ran. Friends
disarmed Williams.
An Atchison (Kan.) man, during a recent
case of sickness at his house, paid a doctor
$4 for giving the medicine and his child $7
for taking it.

VANDALIA AND PENNSYLVANIA LINES.
Like Gilding Refined Gold. The Pull-
man car service on the Pennsylvania and
Vandalia lines between St. Louis and tlie
east has been increased by five new sleeping
cars of too latest design. This addition to
tho already magnificent equipment of vesti*
bule, dining and sleeping cars is almost
like gilding refined gold. It gives this
shortest thoroughfare between the south-
west and the east a stronger claim to the
distinction of being the route that atTords
all the luxury a traveler cau desire.
