Hon. W. E. Dwyer, postmaster
at this place and chairman of the
Nineteenth senatorial district for
the republican party until the
San Antonio convention, was as
mad as the traditional wot hen on
reading the political nows from
Austin in tho Houston Tost
Tuesday. And the hurrahing
that he received from numerous
friends who called at the post-
office during the afternoon did
not serve to cool the charring
embers of his wrath to any ap-
preciable extent. Over at San
Antonio the other day it is stated
that Mr. Dwyer "cussed" a blue
streak when tho news that a con-
testing delegation from Wash-
ington county had been seated,
His language on the present oc-
casion would appear to bear out
the statement.
"In the first place," said Mr.
Dwyer, "the Austin repre-
sentative of The Post evidently
got his information from a gon-
tlemen to whom truth is stranger
than fiction. I did not quit the
republican state executive com
mittee. I have not made any
overture to Mr. Green nor any of
hie lieutenants. I am with Haw-
ley in this fight and will stay
with him until the last ditoh has
been reached, and then fall in it
along with him.
"Nat Q. Henderson accused
me of buying up the delegates
to nominate my brother, Thos.
Dwyer, for oongress, as if I
would do suoh a thing," and Mr.
Dwyer looked really hurt.
In regard to the statement that
Mr. Dwyer bolted the convention
Mid quit the oommittee, the re-
porter waB shown the following
from the report of the conven-
tion by the San Antonio Express:
"V>'. E. Dwyer, member of the
oommittee from the Nineteenth
senatorial district, insisted that
his delegation from Washington
county be seated without a hear-
ing from the other side. While
this piatter was up it was asserted
that I'aul Frioke, of Mr. Dwyer's
delegation, had joined thejbolters,
Mr. Dwyer denied this and at his
request the case was postponed
temporarily until Mr. Fricke
could be brought before the com-
mittee. Mr. Dwyer agreed to
this postponement."
Mr. Dwyer asserts that he left
the convention, as stated in this
paragraph. That tho door was
■hut behind him. After leav-
ing the convention hall he went
find Mr. Fricke, whom he
located at dinner. Up to this
time neither Mr. Fricke nor Mr.
Dwyer had visited the Hawley
convention. Some little time
was consumed in eating dinner.
Messri. Fricke and Dwyer then
started back to the Green con-
vention. On their way they
bought an afternoon paper and
in it they read of the seating of
the contesting delegation from
Washington county, and by this
omen knew that no follower of
Hawley had a ghost of a show at
the Green meeting.
In the article from Austin there
is an intimation that Mr. Hawley
ia after the scalps of the post-
masters at San Antonio, Austin
and Hillsboro. From this state-
ment Mr. Dwyer takes the cue
that Mr. Green will be after tho
postmasters at Galveston, Hous-
ton and Brenham, with perhapsj tho bank a few months ago, ie
others thrown in for good|iying at the Central hote, ir

The article from
as follovts:
Austin,Texas, September24.—
It is understood here that lion.
Bill Dwyer, postmaster at Bren-
ham, who quit tho State republi-
can executive committee at San
Antonio last Monday and joined
the Hawley crowd, has since
made overtures tu the Green
people with tho view to securing
recognition from Green of the
candidacy of his brother, Tom
Dwyer, who was nominated for
congress last Wednesday by a
caucus of Ninth district so-called
Hawleyltes, who had been de-
nied admission to the convention
presided over by Green.
Green's representatives in this
district seem unwilling to treat
with Dwyer, however, and mani-
fest a disposition to nominate J
T. Harris, the noted colored
orator to make the race. Dwyer,
they allege, has no purpose in
view ip putting his brother for-
ward save that of placing him in
a position to be in at the cutting
of the Federal pie next time in
case McKinley is reelected, and
as he is supposed to be harboring
a hope for something better than
the Brenham postoffice they do
not, if they can help it, propose
to help him to something the
obtaining of which would neces-
sarily mean the sacrifice of one
of their number. Dwyflr, they
claim, has been promised the
backing of Hawley and they are
disinclined to deal with him,
^fearful of being over reached.
They doubt his sincerity.
Paul Fricke, another Washing
ton county celebrity who ran in
the Hawley bunch in San
Antonio, is also looked upon with
suspicion by Green's friends.
They are of the opinion that
Hawley has decided to discipline
United States Marshal Siebrecht,
and that he has given Fricke the
tip that there is a chance to get
that gentleman's job, hence his
activity as a Hawley ite.
Furthermore it is well understood
that several of Mr. Hawley's
friends have talked it out plain
that the San Antonio, the Hills-
boro and the Austin postoffices
are to be vacated next time if Mr.
Hawley has his way, and that
new material will preside over
each if your Uncle William gets
another term. George Clifford,
tha postmaster at San Antonio,
has alwavB been a warm friend
of Grten's ftnd contributed no lit-
tle to his sucoess at San Antonio
last week and for this reason he
has been marked for slaughter
by the Hawley crowd. Clifford
is possessed of much political
influence and it is necessary to
the success of the plans of the
gentleman from Galveston that
he be relegated to the roar as
much as possible. The task of
getting rid of him will not be an
easy one, however, as he is
something of a fighter and has
something of a pull himself, and
when the Hawley people get
through with him they will know
that they have been up fcgainst a
most lively and interesting pro-
position.

AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Mr. Weeren came down from
Burton Monday afternoon and
secured rooms at tho Central
hotel. About 11 o'clock in the
evening ho retired, after giving
the night clerk instructions not
to call him. Ho complained of a
severe headache and said he
thought sleep would help him,
At 9 o'clock Tuesday the por-
ter knocked on Mr. Weeren's
door, which was locked. Mr.
Weeren partially opened the
door and informed the porter
that he was siok and did not want
any breakfast.
At 9:30 Annie Hunt, the
chambermaid, entered Mr
Weeren's room to put it in order.
She found the lodger lying on his
left sido facing the south window.
He paid no attention to her, but
the woman noticed an effort on
his part at intervals as if to get
up. At such times his head
would roll from side to side in
way to remind one of a patient
suffering from an overdose of
morphine.
Shortly after this Mr. Adolph
Russi called to see Mr. Weeren,
and he at once, went after a phy-
sician, Dr. £. Becker being
called and remaining almost con
stantly by his patient's side.
Mrs. Weeren and Mr. Robert
Weeren arrived on the afternoon
Central train, and were constant
ly by the side of the sufferer.
Mrs. Weeren informed a re<
porter that her husband was sub
joct to severe attacks of stomach
trouble.
At last report Mr. Weeren was
still unconscious, with the
chances against his recovery
Dr. Becker refused to make any
statement concerning the con-
dition of his patient except the
declaration that he is a very sick
man.
Some of the Facts Which Are to be Em-
bodied Therein.
Galveston, Texas, September
24.—At a meeting held at 5
o'clock this evening in the edi-
torial room of the Galveston
Tribune between the committee
on correspondence and the cor-
respondents of the various news-
papers now here, Chairman Las-
ker made theso statements, »hicb
will be embodied in an official re-
port and sent out to the world by
the Associate Press:
Not 2 1-2 per centof the homes
in Galveston escaped serious
damage.
Three thousand houses were
completely destroyed.
Six thousand peoplo, or one
sixth of the population in the
city, 1000 people living 0x1 the
island outside of the city limits,
and 1000 people on the mainland
coast country were drowned, a
total of 8000 lives lost.
The sanitary condition is
menacing, but not necessarily
bad. Several thousand closets
were washed away and cesspools
exposed, but the saltwater filling
them had a tendency to purify
them and render them possibly
harmless.
It will cost 81,000,000 to remove
the debris.
In a short time indiscriminate
feeding will cease and needy
families will be supplied by the
delivery system, thus doing away
with waste.
At first food and disinfectants
were needed. There is now
plenty of both. What is needed
is money to render habitable tht
homes of penniless people.
The committee thought this the
better charity.
