ThiB evening at Turner hall and garden a
large crowd gathered to enjoy the last sum-
mer night concert of the season and right
well were they repaid for turning out, for tha

regard them. The committee of workers to
whom oredit is due consists of M. Kattmau.
chairman, August Moser, P. A. Heitman and
P. H. Colby.
Woodmen of the World.
This evoning the members of Magnolia
camp, Woodmen of the World, mot on tho
third floor of the Prince building on Main
street, corner of Princo, and had something of
a social feature in connection with the meet-
ing. There was a large attendance of ladies
and gentlemen. As a recognition of tho good
work done by mrb. G. C. Davis in building
up the camp she was presented with a beauti-
ful gold modal. Colonel Will Lambert, one
of tho high officers of the camp, inado tho
presentation, and in doing so spoke in appro-
priate and eulogistic terms of the
lady upon whom tho members wanted
to bestow a compliment and convey
to hor an idea of their appreciation of
what she had done. Ho was peculiarly happy
in his remarks. The beautiful medal was
handed to Mrs. Davis, who was evidently
much surprised at the whole occurrence.
Through the feeling of surprise could bo
seen one of pleasure and gratification at the
compliment.
A pleasant feature of the evening and one
that materially aided in its success were the.
refreshments which were served at a timely
moment and promoted tho animation of tho
goodly compnny.
The Biff Celebration.
To-day tho committee of three—composed
of Messrs. Aug. Moser, E. P. Schmidt and I.
•Japhet—recently appointed to look after the
finances necessary to a proper and creditable
celebration on Ootober 21 of the discovery of
America called upon several of the leading
business firms to ask for subscriptions. The
committeo had before figured up the neces-
sary expense to have such a celebration as
was proper. After making these calls thev
were of the opinion that tho celebration hail
better not be on such a large scale as had
been intended, and hence they will leave off
the tableaux and such other features as are
very costly. This step is necessary, as it re-
quires money to carry out such plans and tho
way in this case is not clear.
Order of the Eastern Star,
Yesterday afternoon a meeting of ladies,
connections and relatives of Masons, took

Lena L. Voge et al. vs. G. W. Floeck &
Bro. was the stylo of an injunction suit that
was to-day called before Judge Jas. Maater-
eon. The plaintiff sought to prevont the de-
fendants from selling a certain quantity of
flour that they had obtained possession of in
the course of law to satisfy a claim. The in-
junction was denied and the suit was changed
into a suit for damages and filed with the dis-
trict clerk. The amount of money involved is
$1760.
Ornamenting Billboards.
The first theatrical pictures of the season
have been hung on the walls to-day, and it
begins to look as though the theater-goers of
Houston were again to have an opportunity to
indulge in the pleasures of the stage. They
aro here for tha "After Dark" company,
which is to play at Sweeney & Coombs' opera
house on the 14th and loth instant, and the
company is regarded as a good attraction this
season. The pictures aro rather attractive.
Building the Brewery.
Work on the brewery and refrigerator is
being pushed ahaad by the Houston brewing
and ice company. The company have just re-
ceived all the material for the building, and
the machinery is now in a way to go ahead.

ing been placed in the Carnegie iron works at
Homestead, tho company here was hold back
two months, the order having to be changed
to and filled by another establishment.
Hit by a Train.
Late this evening Joe Taylor, in a buggy,
tried to cross the railway tracks just north of

engino. The buggy was broken away from
the horse and knocked upside down. Mr.
Taylor escaped, but the horse and buggy were
both badly used up.

A number of colored republicans of the
Third ward met last night and formed a olub,
which they named the Benjamin Harrison
league olub. J. C. Cullen was elected presi-
dent and J. W. Smart secretary.' An execu-
tive committee of three was appointed to act
with the president nnd secretary. The club is
permanently organized and ready for tho cam-
paign.
Lyceum Meeting:.
The Lyceum meeting last night was well at-
tended and much interest manifested by tho
members present. Tho discussion on tho
proposition to tender the property to
the state was extremely animated.
Action was deferred until legal
advice could be had regarding the proposed
transfer, but much antagonism to the propo-
sition was manifested, the idea 6ceming to ob-
tain that tho lycoum belonged to Houston.
A gentleman was present by request of Aus-
tin people to noto the action, to hear and re-
port it if favorable.
Itau A way From a Catastrophe,
This aftornoon at the Congress avenuo
crossing of the International road Dr. R. M.
Knox was crossing the track in a buggy when
suddenly a train boro down upon him, almost
striking him before he saw it.
Ho could neither advaneo nor retreat, 60 ho
whirled his horse clown the track ahead of tha
engmo and whipped him out of its reach till
engineer could stop his train. It was a des-
perate recourse but it saved himself and
outfit.

BASTEOP BULLETIN,
Politics, Iteliglon and Business—Some
Opinions on the Campaign.
Bastroh, Tex., Sept. 8.—Winter seems ihnch
nearer, as a brisk north wind has been blow-
ing for twenty-four hours, but the drouth
continues. Not even a tiny drop of dew is
vouchsafed tho thirsty land.
Mr. E. B. Burleson, a farmer aud sub.
stantial citizen, said to The News reporter
this morning: "Cotton iB going to turn out
rather slim in our part of the county owing,
to dry weather and the worm, but com is
good and health is splendid. As to politics I
am a Hogg man, straight out, and think Gov-
ernor Hogg is certain to be re-elected by a
heavy majority. So far as I can sob the third
party force is mighty weak, and will not
amount to much here."
Elder Tohoar, colored Baptist evangelist, is
conducting protracted services under a tent in
the suburbs of town. The attendance is im-
mense, the preaching above the average
forceful originality, but the success is barely
moderate.
Mr. Louis Eiler, sr., one of Bastrop's promi-
nent merchants, said to Tub newb correspond-
dent to-day: "Business is fair and getting
better all ttio time. Bastrop is not only into
the cotton business, but wo hava plenty of
corn, and to spare. For instance, Mr. P. J.
GUI of Hills Prairie has just delivered at tho
depot for shipping about 3000 bushels at 45
conts per bushel."
Sheriff Davis informs The News that from
some cause crimos are growing moro frequent,
and he is kept quite busy. There are now
only twelve boarders in the handsome now jail,
however. In answer to inquiry requesting his
position in political affairs, Mr. Davis said:
"Well, I prefer regarding all that as a side
issue."
Dr. H. B. Combs, president of the young
people's society of Christian Endeavor, re-
ports the last meoting quite encouraging. The
subject discussed was "Prayer Answered,"
and several mombers participated. He says:
"I am neither a Hogg nor Clark man, but a
thorough prohibitionist, and intend to vote
that ticket entiro from president down to con-
stable." Tho vote for prohibition nominees
will be very small indeed here.
Rev. W. Wooten, pastor of tho Methodist
church, is at homo this week, after taking ae-
tivo part in tho summer campaign of pro-
tracted meetings and assisting in the work of
Presiding Elder Rov. E. S. Smith, whoso
health has been too feeble to allow him to per-
form all the work in the district.
Elder Frank Willson of tho Christian church
has just closed interesting protracted BorviceB
here, and expects to hold a meeting soon. He
is an earnest, devoted minister of the gospel,
with marvelous zeal and pei-Beverance, and is
deservedly popular in his own and other
churcheB in Bastrop.
Hon. W. 15. Maynard, candidate for re-elec-
tion to the officio of district attornoy, made a
professional trip into Lee county this week
and in answer to inquiry from the News cor-
respondent sayB:
"The race in Loo county is between Hogg
and Nugent, but mostly Hogg, while here,
you know, it is the reverse, being between
Clark and Nugent, but mostly Clark. Nugent
will receive botween 350 and 400 votes in Leo
county, while there are comparatively very
few Clark men there. Major Sayors made an
able defense of democratic principles and se-
verely criticised somo of the planks in tho
platform of the third party at Giddings. I
believe Judge McCormick's decision enunci-
ates the law and that he will be sustained by
the higher courts, The political pot is begin-
ning to boil all along the line. Hogg and
Clark speakers are on tho road and ready to
entertain 'tho dear people' at any time with-
in an hour's notico. I have simply been on
the road shaking hands with 'the dear peo-
ple' and tolling them what a fine district at-
torney I would make."
Misb Theresa Erhard returned to her Gal-
veston home yesterday, having made many
warm friends in Bastrop, who will always bo
glad to welcome her back to the old town.
Miss Browder of Fort Worth, after a visit
of three weeks to her friend, Miss Katio Or-
gain, ieft for home this morning. Several
couples of young folks united in giving her a
farewell sociable last night at tho elegant
home of Captain B. D. Orgain.
Mr. T. C. Cain and daughter, Miss Minnie,
returned from their visit to friends near Elgin,
bringing with them Miss Susie Lane of Flato-
nia, who will remain hero a while, the guost of
Miss Minnie.
Money Didn't Seem Scarce.
Vet.asco, Tex., Sept. 8.—Judging from the
lively betting here yesterday and last night on
the New Orleans prize fight, no one would
have thought there was a scarcity of money
in Velasco.
The cargo of tho Blue Star will be finished
off with 2000 bales of cotton, now arriving.
Fifteen hundred cedar logs, 80 to 100 feet
long, are being brought down the river for
the steamship Skuld, to arrive next week.
They are. for export to Germany.
Stevedore Nelson of Galveston, who is boss-
ing the recently organized Velasco screw--
men's association, says they have done as
good and much faster worlcthan any set of
men ho ever saw, and that anyone of them
would pass for an expert in any port in tho
world.
Dead and Dragged Along.
Arilknk, Tex,, Sept. 8—J. M. Sullivan, one
of the pioneers of this county, was found dead
hanging from his cart on the AnBon road this
morning, his old horse walking along the side
of the road dragging his body. Mr. Sullivan
was a few years ago one of the wealthiest cow-
mon and landowners in this county and was
well known to all the old settlers here.
The true laxative principle of tho
plants used in manufacturing the pleasant
remedy, Syrup of Figs, has a permanently
beneficial effect on the human Bystem, while
the cheap vegotable extracts and mineral solu-
tions, usually sold as medicineB, are perma-
nently injurious. Being well informed, you
will use the true remedy only. Manufactured

Statos can pass upon it during the coming
term of that court, probably in April or May.
Asked if he had any comments to make

Culberson replied: "None at this time, ex-
cept that in my opinion the decree is er-
roneous and will bo revorsed by tha supremo
court."

San Antonio Sifting?,,
San Antonio Express, Sopt. 8.
The appointment of a successor to E. L.
Barcroft, the late general agent of tho Cotton
Belt, headquarters in this city, is creating con-
siderable interest among the local railroad
men. Some forty applications for tho position
have been made, so it iB said, and several local
railway freight men aro reported as having as-
pirations to fill the place. The appointment
is to be made by Gonoral Traffic Manager A.
S. D. Dodge and General Freight Agent W. B.
Groseclose and the new man, some assert, will
come out of the present employ or will be
from St. Louis. Tho Cotton Belt people have
a hard row to pick, rustling freight, and none
but tho ablest men can be used by the com-
pany, hence it is considered quite a.compli-
ment to a man's rustling proclivities to say
that he is a Cotton Bolt employe.

pointed auditor of tho Now York, Texas and
Mexican Gulf railways at Victoria and W.
B. Carriere will be traveling auditor in place
of Mr. Boyle.

Cotton Belt, headquarters at Houston, waB in
tho city yesterday.

Tiie Tranneontinentnl Meeting.
Chicago, 111,, Sept. 8.—Aftor four days of
profitless wrangling over the Pacific coast rate
the Transcontinental association adjourned
this evening subjoct to the call of the chair-
man. The only result of this meeting so far
developod is the withdrawal of tho Canadian
Pacific from tho organization.
The Southern Pacific refused to sign the
agreement providing for uniform commissions
or tho establishment of a joint agency in New
York for distribution of immigrant traffic
west of the Missouri river. Besides, the
Southern Pacific takes the ground that it
would not be policy for it to enter into any
agreement for maintenance of rates. It pre-
fers to be free to fight the retiring roads.
Kates to Mexico.
St. Lows, Mo., Sept. 8.—The southwestern
traffic managers yesterday and to-day devoted
much time in secret session to the considera-
tion of Mexican rates, the matter being first
taken up in joint conference of Mexican line
traffic officials and a special committee of
the southwestern railway and steamship rate
committee. A report was finally formulatod,
provision being made for changing such rates
from time to time and for promulgation
jointly.
Under tho adjustment reached rates from
St. Louis, all rail, will be 10 cents per 100
pounds above ocean and rail rates from New
York, other territories taking the sum of locals
via St. Louis or New York, as tho case may
be, provided this adjustment be ratified by
the New York lines.
Rates both from New York and St. Louis
will be largoly in the character of commodity
rates adjusted to meet tho requirements of tho
Mexican trade. It is quito volumnious, rates
ranging, Now York to tho City of Mexico in
carioad lots, from 79 cents to $1 60 per hun-
dred pounds or thereabouts, according to the
character of tho commodity involved. Before
the close of to-day's session a readjustment of
the cotton rates for the season was discussed,
but no decision was reached. Western classifi-
cation rules made effective regarding valu-
able live stock, with tho provision for a rata
equaling 200 per cent of the ordiuary rata
where the shipper makes no valuation. Class
C rates are mnde effective on September 14.
On caBtor boans, to aid ill the diversification
of Texas erops, it was decided to make no
change in tho existing common point tern-
ory at present.

T. Polley, the present democratic nominoo
for district judgo in this district and also the
appointee to tho vacancy by Governor Hogg,
convened court Monday at this place. As
there was no court here last February quito
a diversity of opinion prevailed as to the man-
nor in which the jury should bo soloctod.
Several criminal cases coming before tho
court caused the citizens to bo anxious to se-
cure a good grand jury. Henco a largo part
of the county asked J udge Polley to appoint
jury commissioners. This he positively re-
fused to do, but instructed tho sherilf to sum-
mon the jurors.

Payne as to tho certain chargcs made against
the sheriff and the grand jury and trouble was
imminent for somo time. Almost everyone

twoen Henderson McGown and Tom Clark in
which McGown was fearfully laceratod with a
knife.

A DOZEN RABID DOGS.
Great Excitement and. a General Slaugh-
ter—Brenham JM0t03.
Bkenuam, Tex., Sopt. 8.—There was a lively
time in tho Earlywino neighborhood this
morning. A lot of dogs had been bitten
several days ago by a dog which at the tune
was suspected of having hydrophobia, and to-
day the bitten do^.-* began to show si^ns of
rabies. First one, then two, until finally there
were a dozen mad dogs careering over tho
country foaming at their mouths and snap-
ping at every object, animate and inanimate.
This was too much for the peaeoful denizens
of that quiet neighborhood and Iheynlotu'e
inaugurated a crusade Against the crazy
brutes. Some eight or ten dog^ wore kilied
and peace once more reigns. No person was
bitten but several were scared pretty bad;y.
Torn Matchelt bought a pony from A. Cav-
allard, paying $45 for it. Ho tied tho animal
in the lot adjoining Lockett's livery stable.
The pony was wild, and while rearing and
plunging in its efforts to get away it fell
down and broke its neck.
Yesterday ovening at a store on tho corner
of Douglas and Sandy streets John Hewitt and
Jerry Green were holding a six-shooter, when
ono of them let it fall. The weapon was dis-
charged, but nobody hurt. The report at-
tracted quite a crowd.
The Second regiment band, though as pre-
viously mentioned had given their last sum-
mer concert, consented at tho solicitation of
friends to give another one, and to-night
quite a solect audience was present at Ger-
mania park to hear the music.
George Brown, on a charge of fighting, was
fined $5 by Justice Curry.
The grand jury this afternoon brought in
throe indictments, all for felonies.
The Ladies'auxiliary cemetery association
are in receipt of a communication from Bill
Arp'n business manager that the lecturer can
be induced to como here in October. It is
probable an arrangement will bo perfected,
profitable alike to tho lecturer and tho associa-
tion.
Some fifty odd excursion tickots were sold
to Clear Lake this morning.
R. E. Graber returned to-day from New
York.
Julius Schmidt went to Lyons to-day.
Louis Korff went to Somervell.

Bracket!, Tex., Sept. 8.—Tho tax assess-
ment rolls of Kinney county wore received
and approved by the county commissioners
yesterday. Taxable values for 1802 aro $2,l(>i),-
S17, showing a decrease of $6ti,000 from last
year. Tho decrease is the result of lowering
the taxable valuation of cattle and sheep.
The county is in splendid condition, money in
the treasury and don't owe a dollar.
This county is in better condition, owing to
the recent heavy rains, than for several years
past. Stockmen aro happy, as a good winter
range is assured.
J. C. Yates, deputy sheriff of Kinney county,
arrested at Spott'ord to-day a man by the
name of Alfred T. Young, who is wanted in
Atlanta, Ga., for swindling and cheating.
Young has been hanging around Spofiord for
tho last two or three months and acting in
such a manner as to cause Yates to watch
him.
He was finally seen to post a letter on the
inaii car directed to Atlanta, Ga., and upon
inquiry made to the authorities there in-
structions were given to arrest him at once
and wire. He was quite surprised to bo shown
his photograph which was taken fifteen years
ago, but acknowledged that he was the man
and expressed his willingness to return and
stand his trial.
