WANT GOOD PIANOS.
What a Famous Instrument Maker Says of
the South.
Mr. Albert Weber, the groat piano manu-
facturer of Now York city, is in Galveston.
Speaking of tho demand for pianos in the
south and Texas in particular, Mr. Weber
said to a News reporter:
"Tho people in this part of the country are
buying good pianos. The day of cheap instru-
ments has gone by. Those who ouy pianos,
if they haven't enough money to buy a good
one, wait till they havo. The business of
making first-class pinnos has been hoavior the
past year than for 1891, and tho buying from
the south has increased in proportion."
Mr. Weber and Mr. Thomas Goggan leave
this noon for Houston, Dallas, Waco, Austin
and San Antonio.

Aldermen Levi and Kaiser were the only
absent members when Clerk Buckley called
the roll at yesterday's adjourned meeting of
tho city council.
Tho roading of tho minutes of the last meet-
ing was dispensed with, and the following re-
port of the budget committee was read:
Tho special committee on budcot. to whom was
referred tho accompanying resolution and list of
assessments to be considered in connection with
tho budgot formerly submitted to them and re-
ferred back, bog leave to roport as follows
thereon:
Your committee, after consulting with the city
assesaor, find that from his assurances it will bo
impossible to figure on an assessment roll of
more than $24,000,(KK). The assessor's report on
the resolution and list above reforrod to is here-
with submittod.
They are therefore unable to raise the estimated
assessment roll abovo$21,000,000, and resuomitour
budget as formorly. However, wo havo inserted
an estimato of 50 per cent of the amount duo on
tho notes given the city for the purchaso of the
Winter placo. We believe that tins can be safely
done from i ho assurances given us by tho city
attorney and auditor. This gives an additional
sum of $4667, and by taking $1033 from the allow-
ance for unforeseen contingencies, wo havo $.">700,
which restores tho pay of policemen to $75 por
month and firemen to $65 per month.
With theso changes your conimittoo resubmits
the budget heretofore presented, and respectfully
asks your approval and adoption thereof. Very
respectfully, R. II. Tiernan,
Auditor and Secretary of Committoe.
At the conclusion of the reading Alderman
Harris asked for tho "accompanying list"
spoken of in tho roport.
Clerk Buckley: "There is no list hero."
Harris: "It should bo there, and I want to
know why it is not there. It is part of that
report and should be read."
Auditor Tiornan: "I think it is on my de3k
down stairs. I will go after it."
Harris: "It is strange that such systematic
efforts are made to keep that list from the
public." (Replying to some alderman near
him.) "Public policy, is it? What is the
meaning of all this? The list was introduced
with my resolution at tho last meeting. Tho
nowapapors published tho resolution, but not
tho list. The News ignored it, while tho
Tribune could not bo induced to publish it,
not even for $5 a column. I don't know
whore tho public policy comes in, but if it is
against public policy to let tho county and
state know thoir rights and to let them under-
stand how badly they are bomg deceived by
the city assessment rolls, then I for ono am in
favor of going against public policy. Has the
city of Galveston gone baok to the days of
Lalitte that sho indulges in such methods and
6huts her eyes to such injustice? I know that
the property of Galveston should be assessed
nearer $50,000,000 than $24,000,000. There is
not an alderman horo who does not know this,
and yet the budgot committee comes in with a
report that it is impossible to raise the assess-
ments more than $24,000,000. Find that list
and I will show you how to raise a part of it
anyway."
At this point Auditor Tiornan returned and
reported that ho had been unable to find the
list. "The papers wore together when the
budget committee was in session," said he.
"Mr. Sherwood took the list from tho other
papers, foaring that it might bo published."
Assessor Sherwood: "I appeal to every
member of the committee to say if I said any-
thing about the publication of that list. I had
nothing to do with it."
Auditor Tiernan: "Some ono of the budgot
conimittoo, it mav not have been Mr. Sher-
wood, proposod that the comparative state-
ment prepared and presented by the assessor
be not published for the reason that as tho as-
sessments rendered to the city showed a mate-
rial increase over those given by the county it
might bo the means of working a hardship on
some taxpayers by reason of tho state and
county officials having their attoution directed
thereto and thereby having their property as-
sessed at a higher value. Tho statement was
then detached and loft in my dosk, and not
considering it of material value, I paid little
attention to it and it has been mislaid."
Harris: "I would like to have that list
brought bofore the council and published in
the newspapers. I want the world to see for
themselves how the property owners of Gal-
veston fail to bear a just and fair part of the
burden of taxation."
Fowler: "I rise to a point of order. There
is nothing before the council. The report of
the committee has not been acted on and un-
til such is the case all discussion is out of
ordor."
Levine: "I move wo adjourn."
Goggan: "Before that is put I ask for a
leave of absence for two weeks, as I must be
absent from the city about that length of
time."
Jaques: "There are other matters wo can
dispose of, so let us go ahead with the meet-
ing. Thero is enough to employ our time."
Levine: "I withdraw tho motion to ad-
journ."
Goggan: "Now I move that the roport] of
the committee on budget be adopted."
Mayor Fulton: "All in favor—''
Jaquos "Hold on there. What are we vot-
ing on? If it is the report of the budgot com-
mittee I want to understand it so that I can
vote intelligently. I would like to have that
report road again."
Clork Buckloy then read the report, and
when he reached tho portion referring to tho
policemen Alderman Bolton asked to have the
portion of the budget relating to the police de-
partment read.
"I see," said he, "that no provision is made
for tho four patrolmon placed on the force
last summer. I want thom on there."
Reyinersholfer: "As a member of the
budget committee and of tho fiuance commit-
tee, I invito the attention of tho alderman to
the clause iu tho city charter providing that
any alderman who shall iucrease the expenses
of any of tho departments after tho budgot
has boon prepared shall be doomed guilty of
malfeasance in olllco and upon conviction
shail be removed from his office. The com-
mittee has done all in its power and finds it
uttorly impossible to raise tho assessment rolls
to more than $24,000,000, or to provide moro
money for tho oxpenso of the city."
Aldonnan Harris ^advancing triumphantly
and producing tho missing list): "This will
perhaps assist you to raise the assessments
above $2-1,000,000 and provido all tho money
tho city needs. Mr. Clerk, will you please
road this li3t?"
Clerk Buckley then road tho following list
submitted to the council at tho last mooting by
Alderman Harris with the following resolution:
Whereas it is the sonso of this council that
many of the assessments rendered to the city as-
sessor and board of appraisers by tax payors are
in many instances unequal, too low and not in
consonance with tho progress made by our city
during tho past few voars: therefore be it
Resolved by tho city council of tho city of Gal-
veston, that tho city assessor and said board of
appraisers bo and are hereby instructed tc strict-
ly enforce tho laws of tho city as to tho rendition
and valuation of property to tho end that a fair
and equal assessment of all property in tho city
may be made { and their attention is especially
directed to the accompanying list of taxpayers,
whoso property should be raised in valuo as
thereon indicated, and ho is hereby instructed to
raise them accordingly unless good and valid
cause cau Imj shown to the contrary to this
council.' *

Making an increase of about $4,500,000 without

are actually worth. Add this to our present roll
and wo havo $27,500,000.
Goggan: "That report may bo correct, but
this council has no right to say what the tax-
payers shall be assessed. The charter pro-
vides for an assessor and a board of ap-
praisers. If they do not perform their duty
they can bo impeached, but the council has
no right to perform thoir duty for them."
Harris: "That is all very nice. We may
havo no right under tho charter, but thero is
something greator than the charter here. Tho
constitution of the states of Texas says that
taxation shall be fair and equal. I contend,
and ©very gentleman in this hall knows, that
taxation in Galveston is not fair and equal.
The wealthy escape while the small taxpayer
has to pay one-half, or more, tho full
value of all he owns. I had that roport
prepared for the puroose of opening the eyes
of tho people to tho injustice being dono
in Galveston."
Jaques: "With all due doference to Alder-
man Goggan I beg to say that in my opinion
it is tho duty of the aldermen to see that
every city employe performs his duty. Tho
assessor is an employe, and it is our duty to
see that he performs his duty properly."
Goggan: " If the assessor does not do his
duty we can impeach him; that is all the
council can do. We have no right to say to
him that we shall assess this man's property
at such a figure and that man's at another.
That is a matter with which wo have nothing
to do. If the property is given in by tho own-
ers at too low a figure, the assessor must not
accept the figures, but that is his lookout."
Harris: "The assessor has no discretion. If
the people swear to their figures ho must ac-
cept them. Tho way to stop tho evil is to
force the owners to come forward in person
and make the oath and do away with the sys-
tem of offioe-boy swearing."
Reymershoffer: "It will do no good to raise
tho assessments now, for if this is done we can
not estimato on the distribution of it this yoar.
All our bonds are issued on last year's assess-
ment rolls, and to do as the alderman [Harris]
wishos would cause trouble."
Schmidt (reading the ordinance defining the
duties of the assossor): "You seo here that it
is specified that the assessor shall submit his
rolls to tho council. Is there any alderman
horo who can vote to accept as right assess-
ment rolls such as we have? Everybody
knows that it is ridiculous to havo Ball,
Hutchings & Co. assessed at only $104,000."
Goggan (interrupting): "Everybody knows
that while Ball, Hutchings & Co., ren-
der $104,000 they may have a quarter of a
million doilars in government securities not
subject to taxation."
Schmidt: "That may bo all right. But
look at tho balance of the roll. There are
plenty of others then who do not hold govern-
ment securities and who do not pay any more
in proportion than Ball, Hutchings & Co. I
hold that it is a matter which comes properly
before this council, and that it is our duty to
see that taxation is fair and equitable."
Bolton: "I don't want the police force cut
down one man. Wo need all the regular force
and I want tho patrolmen retained. The
budget committee say they can't find the
money to pay the expense. I'll point out away
to find $0000 of it. Wo now pay the Soaly
hospital $18,000 a yoar. Sho can bo run for
$12,000 easy. Thero's $6000 for tho budget
committee to use, and I move that it be used
that way."
Harris: "I insist on my resolution boing
voted on."
Schmidt: "I move that that resolution be re-
ferred to tho city attorney."
Mayor Fulton: "You aro both out of order.
There is a motion now bofnre the house to
adopt the report of the budgot committoe;
that must be voted on first."
A vote was then taken and the motion to
adopt the report was lost.
Jacques: "I rise to explain my vote. I
voted ngainst adopting tho report because tho
committee had cut otf the appropriation for
sand for street filling. I now give notice
that unless some provision is mado for filling
the streets I shall ask for an appropriation for
tho purpose of buying two steamboats for tho
use of residents of my ward. It is so low
now that when it rains we can't got about. If
we can have no sand we must have the steam-
boats."
Alderman Goggan was granted a leavo of
absonce for two weoks.
Mayor Fulton, who loft for Washington last
night, then turned over the city government
to Mayor pro tern. Wegner, and on motion the
council adjourned until 4 o'clock this after-
noon, when the budgot committee will sub-
mit anothor roport.
THE TEXAS T. P. A.
THE
STATE CONVENTION OCCURS
APRIL 19th TO 22d.
MRS. ANDREW MEYER,
Whose husband is a lithographor with Ciarko
& Courts, says in speaking of Dr. Donnis:
"For over two years I have had a bad ca-
tarrh. My throat was constantly dry and
parched and sore and as my friends well know
there were times whon I could not speak
above a whispor. My ears wero stopped up
and painod mo and hearing dull. I took cold
at the slightest exposure and my rest was
brokon at night by phlegm gathering in the
throat and tho effort to clear caused nausea.
I folt weak and tired. I had boen treated by
fivo diiferont doctors, but got no rolief. I)r.
Donnis has entirely cured me in less than
two months."
DR. DENNIS, EYE, EAR, NOSE, THROAT.
In spito of tho hearty opposition of the
medical fraternity in Galvoston Dr. Donnis
has built up one of the largest practices in
the south. Many cases of doafnoss have been
cured in two or threo months, who had boen
troated for from one to two years by other
specialists without relief.
Dr. Dennis is a graduato of three of the
bost medical colleges in America and succeeds
simply bocause he koeps up with tho most ad-
vancod ideas in medical scionce and knows
how to cure his oases. Office 2031 Market

HEADACHE.

The Wholesalers Will Entertain About 450
Knights of the Grip in Royal Style.
The Committee at Work.
The Texas Travelers' Protective association
meets in Galveston on April 19, 20, 21 and 22.
This was decided upon at thoir convention
held in Waco last yoar.
It will bo remembered that the chamber of
commerce invited these thoroughbreds to
come to this city and hold the annual conven-
tion for 1893, promising to ontertain them.
The invitation was accepted, hungrily, of
courso, for tho mystic words, "oyster roast,"
hung in the air.
Tho chamber of commerce has appointed
Mr. James Mtitire as chairman of a committoe,
which he is to select, to take steps toward the
entertainment of the visiting drummers. The
wholesalers of Galveston have practically
agreed that no stone shall be left unturned to
give these visiting, hustling, story-telling
gentlemen a very different reception than they
ever havo had, and so the programme will be
about as follows: Sail on the bay, visit to the
jetties, oyster roast, drive on the boach, bar-
bocuo on the mainland and a grand ball.
Wine suppors can bo had in any city, and
they aro pretty much all alike. But other
cities can't get up an oystor roast, an excur-
sion on a magnificent bay, a visit to the most
stupendous jetty work ever undertaken in tho
world nor a drive on the most magnificent
boach on^the gulf. Galveston can offer all
of these in addition to wiuo suppors and grand
balls and barbecues, and that is one reason why
the drummers will bo treated so royally.
Another reason is that Galveston's whole-
sale business in all lines has been hoavier tho
past season than during any similar time in
live years. All of the wholesalers admit this,
and they are anxious that the drummers of
Texas shall see for themselves that Galveston
is quite
able and ready to compete
with New Orleans, St. Louis or any other city
for tho Texas trade.
Drummers aro an observing, calculating,
shrewd sot of men—they have to be—and they
see many things that the ordinary business
man overlooks, and they tell of those things
on the road. Many towns have boon made or
unmade by the drummers. When those gon-
tlomen come to Galveston, see the business
dono here, the natural advantages of tho port,
and havo enjoyed themselves as they can in
no other city on the gulf or anywhere else,
they will go their ways and tell about it, and
Galveston will get tho biggest and best advor-
tisoment sho can hope for. The wholesalers
recognize this and they propose doing them-
selves and this city credit in the matter.
Right hero it may bo well to speak of tho
new business iu all lines which Galvoston is
picking up. Merchants who have boon trad-
ing in St. Louis ttfa'd other cities have paid
their first visits to Galveston this season. In
nearly each instance a bill of goods was pur-
chased and a permanent customer secured to
tho city. Ono buyer purehasod a $5000 bill,
which was burnod up in transit to him. Ho
came directly back to Galvoston and dupli-
cated his order, remarking: "I like tho way
you men do busings. I like this city. I
shall trade hero in the future."
Ono reason why the wholesale business is so
good is bocause tho farmers of Texas last
yoar came nearer to getting out of dobt than
over before. They got more for their cotton
and they paid their merchants. They raised
their corn and meat and other things and
kept at home tho money which had been pre-
viously sent north for those supplies. The
merchants, on being paid by the farmers, in-
creased their stocks of goods and paid thoir
bills. Much of this business camo to Galves-
ton, and theso faots will bo laid before tho
visiting drummers that thoy may grasp tho
situation.
That is tho way Galvostou wholesalers pro-
pose advertising this city through the drum-
mers. What idoa equally good can be sug-
gosted? *'•
THE FEDERAL OFFICES.
Those Who Want 'em, and Their Qualifi-
cations Therefor.
Now that the inauguration of Grover Cleve-
land is soon to occur, it may be well to con-
sider who stands half a show for the collector-
ship of Galveston.
Now, there is Captain P. N. Harris of this
city; he went into tho race to stay and ho has
a basket full of pledges from congressmen
and senators in Texas, California, Illinois,
Tennessee, Kontucky, Louisiana, Alabama
and Mississippi. That indicates that he has
somewhat of a pull, doesn't it?
Mr. Royal T. Wheeler, whose deft hand has
shown itself in many a convention, is indorsed
by Congressman-elect Gresham. Colonel
Wheeler is doop, and still, and the old adago
that still water runs deep may be oxomplifiod
in his case.
Captain James McDonald is backed by the
business men of Galvoston pretty heavily.
He has a friend at court, and his services dur-
ing the lato state campaign brought out his
executive ability. Captain Jim's drag-net is
hitched to a strong hawsor, and it needs but a
powerful engine to haul it in.
Colonel George P. Fin lay is in tho race for
place, and thoro is but one place. This gen-
tleman is traveling on his record, and quito a
cloud of dust is being raised by his vigorous
traveling.
Hon. Lyt. Mooro, he of the Von Moltke-liko
silonco, hopes to be able to sign tho mystic
word "collector" after his name. If there is
one thing which Mr. Moore can do as well or
bettor than most legislators it is to bo silont.
He made a record on that and time has dealt
kindly with him.
Mr. Albert Wois: Well, ho wants to be tho
next collector, 'tis said. So do others.
Colonel Groriham says that ho will havo
voice in tho appointment of tho collector, and
he does not think that tho other congressmen
from Texas can afford to antagonize him.
Who will direct tho merchandising of tho
Columbian stamps the noxt four years?
His honor, Mayor Fulton, has gone to
Washington to attend tho inauguration—so
ho said. But a piug hat on Captain Fulton
indicates that ho is out for tho postmastoi-
ship.
Colonel A. M. Shannon was a good Ciarko
man in the last state campaign, and Colonel
Gresham favors him for postmaster. Thou,
too, a postmastorship in Galvoston is better
than tallying the cough of a dredgo scow's
whoozy engine. v,
Mr. J. W. Burson was an aspirant for the
postmastorship, and thore is no indication
that ho is out of tho race. Why shouldn't a

The Crawford Will.
Mrs. M. A. Crawford's will came before
Judge Wm. H. Stewart yesterday on a motion
for a now trial made by tho executor. After
hearing elaborate arguments from attorneys
who represented the will and tho contestants,
the court set aside the verdict of the jury and
granted a new trial.
The beneficiaries in the will, who inherit the
estato after the death of Alexander and ftay-
burn Crawford, are contesting tho probate of
tho will, to-wit: Mrs. W. F. Swain and hus-
band and Mrs. Maggie D. Phillips and hus-
band of Houston. They allego that Mrs. M. A.
Crawford, at tho time sho mado her will, on
July 24, 1889, was of unsound mind, and had
been for the past ten years.
The property involved in this litigation is
estimated to be worth about $3000.
Mrs. M. A. Crawford, deceased, and hor
husband, M. A. Crawford, deceased, came to
Galveston from Nashville, Tenn., in 1838.
They were accompanied to Texas by the late
Banker B. A. Shepard of Houston. Mr.
Shepard married a neico of Mrs. Crawford's at
the hitter's homo in this city soon after com
ing to Texas. Messrs. Crawford and Shepard
were partners in this city and Houston for
many years. The partnership dissolving, Mr.
Crawford romained in this city and engaged
in tiio wholesale crockery business and Mr.
Shepard went to Houston and engaged in the
banking business.
