COL, GRESHAM'S CHANCES FOR THE
CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION.
Excursion Rates to Galveston— Captain
Faulkner Tells Why His Namesakes
Will Not Go to Chicago.
Said a prominent Galvestonian yesterday
regarding the raco in the Tenth congressional
district: "It seems to me that Wells Thomp-
son's prospects are not as bright as thoy are
generally supposed. He is seriously handi-
capped ni Fayette, Austin and Galveston
counties on his prohibition record. He is
handicapped on this throughout the entire
district, for that matter, but particularly in
the three counties named. Then he has burn-
ed all his powder in this canvass already. Ho
went into the lield long before Colonel Gresh-
am or 11 r. Moore, and worked hard for in-
structions. He now has of instructions 21
votes. Ho may possibly get one or two
more votes than this, but it takes o/Js to
nominate.
"As to Mr. Moore, he has, as nearly as 1
can get at it, 12 instructed votes, and may get
L1 others. His election can only bo brought
about by having the entire Thompson strength
thrown to hiin, and also a part of the Gresham
vote, or vice versa.
"As to Colonel Gresham's strength, the im-
pression is that ho will get about twenty-olio
votes in the convention. Galveston should
have the representative and I'll tell you why.
She polls the largest voto in the district and
would give her candidate a majority ranging
from 8000 to 4.000. As she is more largely in-
terested in national legislation than any other
portion of the state it would seem that a repre-
sentative chosen from among her citizens
would be more conversant with the direct
needs of that district than anyone else. He-
sides Galveston, although the chief commer-
cial city of the state, has not had a represen-
tative iu congress in thirty years."

Captain A. Faulkner, the genial general
passenger agent of tho Houston and Texas
Central railway—the only railway in the
south the captain thinks—was in this city
yesterday. A News man asked; "Captain,
isn't your road going to run any cheap ex-
cursions to Galveston this summer?"
"Nary a $5 rate," sonteutiously remarked
Captain Faulkner.
"Why not?"
"Well, when we did run at that rate one of
your prominent hotel men here said that the
excusionists did no good to Galveston—that
his hotel got no benofit from the cheap rates.
So we concluded that if our line didn't help
Galveston by cheap rates it would be folly to
make 'em."
"What is the reason that the b aulkncr
guards did not get a detail to the Columbian
exposition?"
" Too many Clark men among 'ern—-nearly
all of 'em are Clark men. And Calvert didn't
go for Hogg, as you know if you read The
News. 1 speak pretty nearly by the card."

Speculations as to Whether Mars Is Inhab-

Point to the Planet Tc-Hight.
To-day, and in fact for the next thirty days,
the planet Mars will be an object of close

that on which we live, are revolving in ondless
Said a prominent citizen of Galveston to a
News man yesterday: "Why is it that none
of tho railroads aro bringing excursionsists to
this city? Thoy are putting on $2 50 rates to
San Antonio, and $1! ratos to Velasco and
cheap rates to all points distant. They don't

space.
The ancient god of war in the rounds of its
orbit has reached a point within 35,000,000
miles of the earth, a condition which occurs
but ouco in fifteen years, the oxtreuie distance
which the planet puts between itself and its
neighbor, earth, boing 141,000,000 miles.
It will cast its bright light upon the observor
from its placo of reposo in the southern skies
in the constellation Capricornus. Since its
last close visit great improvements have been
made in astronomical instruments, and doubt-
less the result of its present near approach
will be the addition of much interesting and
valuable information concerning that planet.
When viewed through the great Lick tele-
scope in California, Mars will bo seen as at a
distance of 17,500 miles, the instrument hav-
ing a magnifying power of 2000 times. At all
tho great observatories in tho world tho planot
will he watched and studied and it will bo
strange indeed if tho observers are not ena-
bled to add to the science of astronomy many
facts of value and interest. Fifteen years ago
the discoverios mado and data obtained were
numerous and much is oxpoctod from tha pre-
sent condition.
Mars may be studied with perhaps more
interest thau any other planet because of the
existenoe of conditions which make it not
only possible but likely that it is habitable
and therefore the abode of animal life perhaps
in Hb highest form.
The man who may live on Mars may be
radically different from the being who repre-
sents, according to the Darwinian theory, tho
highest development and perhaps culmination
of animal life upon the earth, but whether
like or unlike he would be an object of much
interest, and information concerning hiin
•would be eagerly sought.
The discussion of the existence of rational
beings on Mars has brought out numer-
ous propositions, although as yet appareitly
impracticable, forcommunicatiou between '-ho
planets. If ilars is enjoying that inventive
age and possessed of the genius which
characterizes time on ttie earth
to-day, and the researches of the astronomers
on each planet show the existence
of human iife upon the other, it
is possible that some method of communica-
tion may be adopted. This may seeui ln-
crodiblo at first thought, but it is a matter
nevertheless which is engaging the serious at-
tention of scientists at the present time in
connection with their observations. Year by
year scientific resoaroh and invention pierces
further and further into the mist which ob-
scures the unknown, and the result ot the
next month's study of Mars may add much
to science's ever increasing storehouse of
knowledge.
At any rate, the observation of the planet
will prove highly interesting and afford food
for entertaining conjecture for thousands of
people until probably the middle of Septem-
ber.
Take a good look at Mars during August, or
you will be obliged to wait fifteen years for
another equally favorable opportunity.

In the United States district court the De-
troit electrical works of Detroit, Mich., have
filed suit against the Galveston City railroad
company for $38,002 91. Papers were served
Wednesday evening on Colonel W. H. Sin-
clair by Deputy United States Marshal John
M. Whelan.
The plaintiff recites that on October 27,1890,
at Buffalo, N. V., Colonel Sinclair, president
of the Galveston City railway company, en-
tered into a contract with the Detroit elec-
trical works for:
Four SO.rXX) Watt standard Roe generators.

The above material, f. o. b., Detroit. Terms,
$15,000 cash upon starting of cars, balance m
bank paper at 0 per cent interest.
Plaintiff avors that on December 31, 1890,
according to terms of agreement, it furnished,
sold and delivered to defendant eleven 15-
liorso power separate motors, mounted on
trucks, complete with car equipment, at $1800
each, amounting to $19,800; also one 80 K. W.
dynamo, at $3250.
That on July 22, 1891, plaintiff sold, de-
livered and furnished to defendant nine 15-
liorse power separate motors, mounted on
trucks, complete with car equipment, at $1800
each, amounting to $16,200, and one 80 K. W.
dynamo, at $3250. . . „
That defendant agreed to pay to plaintiff
$15,000 in cash upon starting the said electric
cars, and the balance in bankable paper at li
per cent. Also that tho cars mentioned in
contract were started January 1,1891, but that
defendant, has not paid the said $15,000, nor
any part (thereof, nor has it furnished and de-
livered to plaintiff the bankable paper in set-
tlement of balance due on said account; but
defendant has delivered to plaintiff its note
for $15,000 in part payment of said account.
Plaintiff further alleges that it has at vari-
ous timos since December 17, 1890, sold and
delivered to defendant certain goods and
wares to the value of $6032 05.
Plaintiff avers that, after allowing all
credits, tho amount to which it iB entitled is a
total of $36,089 46, with interest at 8 per cent,
amounting in all to $38,002 91, and prays for
judgment for said total amount, plus the costs
of the suit.
This suit is returnable Octobor 17 next.
the defendant.
Colonel W. H. Sinclair, president of tho
Galveston city railway company, was seen by
a News reporter last night regarding the suit
of the Detroit electrical works filed in tho
United States district court on Tuesday.
Said he: "The motors puretiased of the De-
troit electrical works were guaranteed to suc-
cessfully do certain work; they were guaran-
teed to handle a 16-foot car ond a trailer;
they were sold and guaranteed to do the work
properly when geared to both axles of the
car, this being one of the chief elements in
their purchase; and they were to be delivered
within a certain time.
We have tried these motors thoroughly
and carefully. They will not do the work
guaranteed; they will not haul a 16-foot car
and trailer. It is impossible to gear them to
both axloB and work them. They wore not
delivered according to contract and the fail-
ure to do so has lost our company a great deal
of money.
"I had Wm. D. McQuesten, ono of the fore-
most electrical experts in the United States,
como down here from New York city and
make a careful examination of these motors.
His roport—which I have in writing—is ad-
vorse to the Detroit company. Mr. McQues-
ton reported that the motors, had they boon
well constructed, were too light to handle a
loaded 16-foot car at a rate of fiftoen miles an
hour—which rate was guaranteed—and that
they could not. consequently, haul a loaded
trailer additional He roported that the mo-
tors were not equal to tho work for which they
had been designed.
"The two dynamos which 1 had purchased
of the Del roit Electrical company are the only
part of the purchase now in use. All the
motors and parts are piled up in our power
house—simply so much old junk.
"As to the note for $15,000 which the com-
pany rofors to in their bill against the Galves-
tou City railway company, I paid that last
March aud have it put safely away. When it
comes to a settlement tho company will bo in
our debt. All our motors aro now of Westing-
liouso'a make."

Now York Herald.
On the coral reefs of Coneeicao, off the
north coast of Brazil, lies tho American bark
Nehemiah Gibson, broken and dismantled.
At least she was lying there when Captain
Ezra B. Rislcy and his crew of nine men left
her in two boats on June 29 last, having saved
what little was left after a marauding band of
half breed Indians from the coast had plun-
dered the wreck.
After traveling thirty-five miles in open
boats the unfortunate men reached Povoacao,
at tho mouth of the Mossoro river, where tho
boats and their contents were seized by cus-
toms ufficiais and tho men mado prisoners. It
was not until after great difficulty that the
captain socurod enough money to take him-
self and crow to Pemambuco, whore thoy
took passage for New York on the United
Statos and Brazil mail steamship Soguranca,
which arrived hero yesterday.
Tho Nehemiah Gibson was an American
ship and was under an American commander
and manned by an American crew.
Captain Risloy ga^1 a graphic description
of his experiences. Tho bark was on her way
from Pensacola, Fla., to Rio Janeiro with a
cargo of lumber. The captain after leaving
Ponsaeola laid his courso to the eastward to
catch the trade winds. When he changed to
the southward after passing the Rocas his
chronometer played him false, and instead ot
running down tho eastward of Brazil as he in-
tended, his vessel struck on tho sharp reef of
Conceicao on the evening of Juno 28.
The tough oak planking of the bark was
speedily perforated with holes and she filled
rapidly. All night the crew remained oil
board, while tho sea made a clean breach
over her. .1 ust before morning tho wind fell
and the son abated somewhat.
Dawn showed that tlio ship was a hopeless
wreck, and proved also the utter futility of
attempting to save any of her cargo. Tho
sailors began preparations to save such arti-
cles as tho boats would carry. Hardly had
they got to work, however, when more than
100 half breed Indians were seen in their cat-
amarans close to the vessel. In spite of a de-
termined resistance by the crew scores of them
clambered on board. The crow seeing the
utter folly of fighting against such tremendous
odds retreated aft nnd tho half breeds began
their work of pillage. They left nothing that1
they could carry away.
They first removed everything movable
from the decks to their big sea canoes. Then,
while some of them stripped tho bark of her
sails and all of the rigging they could get
away with, others broke in the cabin doors,
smashed open lockers and literally stripped
tho interior of everything valuable, including
the captain's instruments.
Meantime tho captain and crew had not been
idle, and such articles as thoy had managed to
carry away before the Indians ransacked the
cabin had been stowed away in two of tho
bark's boats, which were moored on the lee
side of the wreck.
The savages did not offer to again injure the
crew, although some of the heads of tho sail-
ors were soro from the tight when the robbers
boarded the vessel. The crow had saved a
part of their clothing and provisions enough
for one boat.
The Indians, having secured nearly every-
thing worth taking, began to cast covetous
eyes on the two bout*, and Captain Kisley at
half-past 11 a. in. on June 29 ordered the crow
to give way. There was a brisk wind blowing
from tho eastward and a short, choppy sea.
Captain Risley laid his course westward to
strike, if possible, sumo town along the coast
where there was ail American consul.
The wind kept increasing, and at 5 p. m. the
boats were taking i£ water as fast as the men
could bail it out- Oil shore—for tho coast
had boon kept iu sight-tho Norwegian bark
Louis was seen at anchor on the ballast
grounds, nearly out of sight of Maria Concep-
ciou. The bouts ran alongside of the Louis,
and the mate, iu the absence of tho captain,
kindly reooived tho shipwrecked crow.
Captain Risley was told that there was no
American consul at Maria Conception. The
night was spent comfortably on the Louis, and
the next morning Captain Risloy and Ins men
continued their trip. A barkentine was
sighted at anchor at 4 p. m., and the boats
ran alongside of her. Her mate volunteered
tho information that tho town of Povoacao
was ou tho west bank of tho River Mossoro,
which emptied into the soanoarly opposite tho
point whero the barkentiuo was lying, and
that a representative of Messrs. Abe Stein &
Co., agents of tho Nehemiuh Gibson at Phila-
delphia, was there.
When the shipwrecked men reached the lit- i
tie port, however, customs officials seized thoir |
boats and effects and the police mado them
prisoners. In spite of their protests and ex-
planations the captam and his men wero kept
under guard on board their own boats until
the next morning, whan thoy wore liberated.
Captain Risley wag disappointed in not find-
ing the representative of his ngents, but he
succeeded in sending a telogram to the Ameri-
can consul at Pemambuco.
The consul cabled to Abo Stoin & Co. to
furnish tho crew with money to keep them
until a steamer could take them to Pornain-
buco, and also to pay their passago to that
port.
This was done, and after n detention of
twelve days in Provoacao Captain Risley and
the crew left for Pemambuco. During the
twelve days the captain says he frequently

Fell to His Death.
Yesterday afternoon Worticy Brooks and
H. B. Lowenhielin started down the Santa Fe
tracks towarcl Fiftieth street. Brooks was
under tho intluence of liquor. At the trestlo
at Forty-fifth street Lowenhieim started
across, followed by Brooks. A splash in tho
water caused Lowenhieim to look around
and ho saw that Brooks had tumbled over-
board. Lowenhieim immediately went to
his assistance r.nd found that Brooks was
badly injured about the head, his face being
bruised and his eyes blackened. Lowenhieim
started to summon tho patrol wagon, but
Brooks objected, saying: "Don't send for it:
I can walk." Lowenhieim did send for tne
wagon, but Brooks died before it arrived.
Deceased was an Englishman, about 35
years of age. He was at the time of his death
in the employ of J. F. Roll of this city, and
was also a member of the choir in one of the
Episcopal churches in Galveston He lived at
2419 Postoflice street and left a wife.
Justice Spann held an inquest on the body,
and rendered a vordict that the death resulted
from an accidental fall from tho railroad
trestle at Forty-fifth street, deceased striking
his head against a piece of timber.
Where Is the Country Girl?
Several yachting onthusiasts have arranged
to sail the yacht Novice against the Country
Girl, provided the Country Girl will sail for
$500 a side. The race will be from some point
along the docks to and around Red Fish and
return. To this end $100 has been posted
with Wm, Molfatt on Central wharf as an
earnest, and the backers of the Country Girl
have been invited to step up and cover.
This race is to take place soon after the
regatta now on the tapis between tho Novice,
Undine, Country Girl and White Wing has
been sailed off.
To-Day's Yacht Race.
The race between the yachts Undine, White
Wing, Novice and Country Girl will be sailed
off to-day. L. C. Arledge and Wm. Hunter
were chosen to act as judgos, and they will
select a third party to assist them.
It was agreed that if no yacht arrived back
prior to the lighting of Bolivar light, it should
be no race. The r»ce must be sailed within
the B-hour limit, over same course and under
the same conditions as in the previous trials.

Ayer's Hair Vigor
Is the most elegurit and popular hair-dressing in the market. It quickens
into renewed activity the hair-roots and thus restores to the hair all that
lias been lost by sickness, old age, or neglect. It imparts
to the hair a silken texture, keeps the scalp clean, and
cures itching and troublesome humors. When the hair
