STREET PAVING AND GRADING.
Much to the gratification of every citizen,
the contractors havo resumed the laying of
boia d'arc blocks, which several weeks ago
was stopped on account of tha high wator in
jBBrth Texas Inundating the ground where
the wood was obtained! The graveling is
f»T ahead of the paving, and hence the latter
van be laid as rapidly as possible, and the
contractors say it will be dono. This will
bring Into use and beautify several promi-
nent streets that are now useless and un-
seemly.
Tho grading by Commissioner Kennedy
of unpaved streets has greatly benefited
theiu for service, and in appearance had
made them as burnished gold to rusty lead.
The work that lie has done on streets cross-
ing Main, between Rusk and the fair
grounds, is dally the subject of compli-
mentary remafk and a source of pride to
citizens and pleasure to tho visitors to look
upon. Houston's streets never before com-
pared with themselves.
The commissioner novr has his bicyclo
and is constantly on tho move.
STItEET ItAILWAV IMI'ROVEMENTS.
The Houston City Street Railway com-
pany ia extending it3 track in various di-
rections through the city. They have now
a force of men laying track on Houston
avenue, tu the Fourth ward north. They
laid a block to-day and will keep up their
work until their supply of tics becomes ex-
hausted, or until they receive others, that
are daily expocted from eastern Texas.
They have also laid track on Prostou
street, from Travis across the bridge
to a connection with their old
track that cornea into Prestoo from Wash-
ington on Ninth street. This is part of a
new belt that tho company is constrjctlng
in that part of the city. They have also
done twelto blocks In th® Fifth ward, to
becomoa part of their Fifth ward bolt line.
It coos out on Liberty road, betweon Jones'
anil the Phoeulx Lumber company's mills,
to John Lyons' hotel, a block beyond it,
then turns toward Buffalo bayou ana
turns back near McKee> store, passing
to the Houth of the Elysian street schtol-
house, and making a junction with the old
belt line at the company's stables on McKee
street. They have also laid sixteen blocks
of now track in the Third ward on their new
belt line, which will leave tho present Texas
avenue lluu on Jackson street and go out it
to Pierce street fourteen block", and along
Pierce to Caroline, and on it back to Texas
avenue, making a total of thirty-two blocks,
half of which ia now dono and tho other
to be finished just as soon as 4000 tiea.vhich
have been due several days, arrive. They
have strong steal rails for this line and it
will be, when finished, one of tho best lines
in the city.
The company is to-night putting in new
steel crossings lu the Fifth ward lines so
that in crossing railway tracks all jolting
will be dono away with.
A CANAL TO THE UltAZOS.
Several thinking men of this city in con-
templating an ample water connection with
the deep w.iter of the gulf are talking very
oarnistlv about the construction of a canal
from Houston across the level prairio to the
navigablo waters of the Brazos river. Care-
ful Investigation has brought out tho fact
that such a Bclieme is entirely practicable
and will cost less than u million dollars. At
this eost they ostimate that from tbo point
selected above Columbia, which will
give fifteen feet of water into tho gulf, a
canal that will give fourteen feot of wator
all tho time can bo opened. Houston's alti-
tude ia slightly over thirty feot above the
point in question, which will necessitate a
much greater depth here than there, but
the whole will uot cost moro than #1,000,000.
The estimated width will be eighty feet.
Half a dozen of leading business men,
among them an enterprising banker, have
the matter in hand and do not
care to have it published until more ac-
curate knowledge is obtained. One of the
first steps will lie a survey of tho proposed
route, upon which futuro action will bo
based.
SHOULD BE REMEDIED.
Tho condition of the old cemetery in tho
First ward, across tho Central track and
north of tho Houston infirmary, is a reflec-
tion upon tho refinement snd culiuroof
this city. The fence around the entire place
is down, tho railings and fences intended to
protect graves have been broken down, and
in somo cases the gravestones' have been
taken and thrown upon the ground along
the pathway for stepping stonss across
muddy and wet places. This ia not as it
should bo lu u Cllj with the preieusluuH of
Houston to refined taste and to the civili-
ities of the period. If for no other reason,
as a condition of things that reflects upon
Houston it should bo changed.
DISCHARGED FP.05I CUSTODY.
This afternoon upon writ of haboas cor-
pus W. C. Brandt was brought before Judge
Mastersou for a hearing. He had an affida-
vit of a negross charging him with bolug the
party who shot and killed Hester Moore, a
uegress in the Fifth ward a week or moro
ago. The testimoaev showed that Brandt
was in another part of tho city when tho
killing occurred, and as tiie affidavit was
made against him on suspicion, the court
ordered the prisoner discharged from cus-
tody.
The shooting occurred at 10 o'clock at
night and the woman was shot through tha
window of her house.

tive programme will be rendered:

LOST HIS WATCH.
Sheriff Ellis this morning for a moment
laid his watch down iu a room in the court-
house, and when he came out he left his
watch nnd chain upon tho seat. A few min-
utes after he missed the articles and went
back for thorn immediately, but they had
mysteriously disappeared and have not yet
been found. The lost, property is worth
about 8140, and Sheriff Ellis has had the
watch no long that ho values it above its
intrinsic worth. Ho purchased it many
years ago from Mr. George Clark and gave
for it $175. Not many days ago a vory hand-
some piatol disappeared in tbo same way
and from the same place.
NAMES AND NUMBERS WANTED.
At the meeting of the board of directors of
the Commercial club last evening they ap-
pointed the development committee, of
which Hon. IJ. C. Smith is chairman, to
call upon the city authorities and urge upon
them the importance of enforcing the ordi-
nance requiring houses to be numbered and
streots to have their names put up, as re-
quired and is customary. Thii is a good
move and one that will meet the approval
of every enterprising citizen. Houston is
becoming a city and her needs are such as
to make this action vary timely.
JURY COMMISSIONERS AT WORK.
This afternoon the jury commissioners,
Messrs. T. G. Epperson, R. E. C. Wilson
and W., D. Cleveland, met in the district

MarijiN, Tex., May 88.—Mr. G. J. Elam,
our new postmaster, has taken charge of
the postoffice. Mr. C. J. Bartlett, the

doubt hoki the office down to the satisfac-
tion of tbo public.
Tho following teachera were elected for

Montgomery, Ala., May 38.—The demo-
cratic state convention was called to order
at 18.30 to-day by Chairman Tompkins of
the stato committee. W. W. Davidson,
