City-Five Houses Consumed.
Delayed Special.
San Antonio, August 27.-About C
o'clock this afternoon fire broke out in
Hugo d Schmeker's grocery house,
occasioned by the igniting of leakings
from barrel of alcohol. The flames
spread rapidly, and in less than five
minutes the whole building fronting
Commerce street, running back around
Groos' bank, was in flames. Three
streams, were converted into one,
playing Cd the buildings. The mai n
fight was to contine the flames, and
the effort was successful. Hugo e.
Schmelzer's wholesale grocery was de-
stroyed. The damage is estimated at
$500 900. The fight made by the fire
men prevented the flames from ex-
tending further. Four men were badly
burned, among them the shipping
clerk for Hugo d Schneider and ne
gro who fell through the floor and was
rescued almost in u dying cond ition
This is the greatest fire this city has
ever had, and at this time, after con-
suming nearly five houses, IL is barrel y
under control.

WE give space to an interesting ar
ticle to-day on the subject of insurance,
from the pen of a thoughtful, practical
business man. This gentleman in
forms us that despite our splendid
system of waterworks the rate of in
surance on cotton is so per cent. more
than when we had no such system,
and that the rate is now double what
il was at one time. 1t may be that
there are more monopolies than rail-
way and telegraph.

Cotton Insurance.

TO the Editor OF the Gazette.
The attention of cotton men of Fort
Worth aud others throughout the into
rior of this state is called to the COM
placent edict of body of insurance
men, styling themselves "the eXecu-
tive committee of the association of
fire underwriters for Texas" We of
the interior are told that 3GD4 per cent
and no less will satisfy the association
or the companies they are endeavoring
To serve with such extraordinary zeal.
Galveston was called upon by the
modest committee TO contribute about
p per cent. (tire risk about three times
as great as in Fort WORTH but she
very promptly held an indignation
meeting and declined the honor. Now
If the cotton men of Galveston are JUS
titled in getting warm about this mat
ter, the question arises, what ought
the temperature of the cotton men of
the interior beas they contemplate the
subject. The insurance organization,
/ presume, in view of the way interior
cotton men were scattered, concluded
that as they, were least likely to pro-
test in a way to force notice, that it
would be expedient TO make them bear
the heaviest part of the burden-ap-
plying the screws gently to Galveston
and Houston.
1t is my conviction that in town
like Fort Worth, the risk on cotton in
an open yard Is not one-third AS great
as it is in the Galveston congresses.
Reasons:
First-A total loss OF even one bale
Is almost an impossib lily, from the
fact that the cotton Is on the ground
and can be approached OH all sides
both for the purpose of scattering the
bales andusing water.
Second-Being exposed to the
weather 1t is wet good part of the
time and cannot burn.
Third--On account of enclosures be-
ing plaAk and wire II fire would quick
iy make itself known by the smell
and being seen.
Fourth Being on the ground 1t |:
exposed but little to the action of the
wind, which Is the great thing To con.
tend with ut fires of all kinds.
Fifth--The cotton is never piled
which is far from being the least i'm
.ortant feature of insurance in oper
yards.
But I do not think unorganized tall

Sleep.
6. r. B.-Dec. 26, 1889.

ESQ HE G1vETH HIS BELOVED sLEEP."
He sees when the footsteps falter, when their
hearts grow weak and faint;
He marks when their strength Is failing, and
listens to each complaint;
He bids them rest for season, for the path
way has grown too steep;
And folded in fair green pastures, He giveth
His loved ones sleep.
Like weary and worn out children, that sigh
for the daylight's close,
He knows that oft they are longing for home
and its sweet repose;
So he calls them in frem their labors ere the
shadows around them Creep,
And silently watching DER them, He gtveth
His loved ones sleep.
The babe that she softly pillows so tenderly
on her breast;
Forgotten are now the trials and sorrows that
made them weep;
For with many a soothing promise He giveth
His loved ones sleep.
He giveth it friends the dearest can never
this boon bestow;
But He touches the dropping eyellds, and
placid the features grow;
Their foes may gather about them, and storms
0AoAHu tHCuA S"CSps
But, guarding them safe from danger, He
giveth His loved ones sleep.
All dread of the distant future, all fears that
oppress to-day,
Like mists, that clear in the sunlight, have
noiselessly passed away;
Nor call nor clamor can rouse them from
slumbers so pure and deep,
For only His voice can reach them who giyeth
His loved ones sleep.
Weep not that their tolls are over; weep not
that their race is run!
God grant that we may rest as calmly when
our work, like theirs, is done!
Till then we would yield with gladness our
treasures to Him to keep,
And rejoice in the sweet assurance, He giveth
His loved ones sleep.

A FIENDlSH DEED:
Deliberate and Persistent. Attempt at
Poisoning.

POtSOuInS.
BoSToN, May 3l,--A most deliberate and
persistent attempt at poisoning, in which
the victims had a narrow escape from
death, has just came to light in this city.
The wouldbe poisoner is Frank W. Rey-
nolds, 24 years old, who resides at SO Com
mon street. Reynolds for some time has
been employed in the bottling establish
ment of G. w. & c. Z. Miller, No. S62 At
lantic avenue, and for about year has
been on bad terms with one William A.
Wilson, another smploye at the place.
The trouble originated in some slight tran
saction. A week ago, it is alleged, Rey-
nolds, who appears to be cranky, decided
to murder Wilson by poison, and accord
ingly emptied vial Of croton oil in some
medicine which the latter was using. The
first draught made Wilson dangerously i'll,
and it was not till Sunday that he was pro-
nounced ont OF danger. Investigation re.
suited in Reynolds arrest and confession
this morning He said that he did it to
see what effect the oil would have, and in
order to make the test complete put lot
of it in barrel of rum which the employees
were in the habit of drinking, which mad e
them all violently ill. Reynolds, who says
he is married, looks more or less mentally
afflicted, although not actually insane. He
took his arrest quite coolly, and was locked
up in the Tombs on the charge Of attempted
murder.

the opposition was so strong that the mo-
ton was Withdrawn.
The Assembly will adjourn finally this
evening.
When the Assembly reconvened the re.
port of the Finance Committee was con-
sdered After some discussion rs to the
distribution of the quarter centennial

IL- services, according to the complaint,

with Miss Prescott, who was also spending
the hot months among Wisconsin's cool

EXCITING ADVENTURES.
The Dashing and Romantic Career Of I
Baltimore Young Lady.

BALTIMORE, May 31.-The flag presented
by Gen. Beauregard, at New Orleans, on
Monday, was the work of Baltimore belle,
q girl Of remarkable beauty and rare culture
and accomplishment. She was Miss Hattie
Carey, the daughter OF prominent citizen.
All of her family were strong Southern
sympathizers, and Miss Carey made her
self conspicuous by appearing on the
streets wearing the Southern badge. and on
one occasion. it is said she waived Con
federate flag from an upper window Of her
residence while regiment of Union troops
were marching along below. These acts
coupled with Miss Cary's high social posi-
tion, directed the attention of the authori.
ties particularly towards her, and it was
strongly intimated she would be arrested.
Information of the threatened arrest
reached the family, and the next day Miss
Hattie, accompanied by her sisters
Jennie and Constance, and brother
Wilson N. Carey, Jr., left for the South.
They were the bearers OF liberal supplies
for the Maryland boys, and were on the
first steamer from Baltimore that was over
hauled attempting to run the blockade.
their way in small boat across the Potom-
nc and were cordially received by General
Lee at Richmond. Miss Hattie went to
Centerville, the advance post OF the Con-
federate forces, and created a sensation IN
the Confederate camp by singing for the
first time the now popular Maryland, Ny
Maryland" the troops joining enthusiast.
tically in the chorus. During the fight at
Bull Run General Beauregard mistook q
detachment of Kirby Smiths troops for
Union forces on account of the similarity
OF the flags used. and the next day after
consolidation with General Lee the battle
flag used from that time until the close OF
the war was decided upon. 1t was red
field with blue crossbars and white stars.
At the request of Gems. Lee, Beauregard,
and Others, Miss Carey and her sisters
made three flags, working all night upon
them. Miss Hattie's flag was presented to
Beauregard and her sisters to Gems. Joe
Johnson and Van Dorm. During the last
year OF the war Miss Carey, whose beauty
had captiyated many hearts, and whose
work in the hospitals had won the graft
tude of many a suffering soldier, became
the wife of Gen. Pegram, who soon after
lost his life at the battle Of Five Forks
while gallantly leading charge. She and
her sisters remained nursing the wounded
till the close of the war, and then Miss
Carey returned to Bal timore and opened q
young ladies' seminary, in which she was
remarkably successful. A few years ago
she became the wife of Prof. A. Lowell
Martin, OF the John Hopkins university.
She is now leader of the society in which
she shone so brilliantly as belle nineteen
years ago.

. se,zure or .Doctored- Tea.

New YoRK, May 31.-A lot of tea, con.
sisting of 245 packages, which arrived at
this port by the steamer Greece from Lon
don rect ntiy, was yesterday condemned by
the assistant appraiser, James X. Davies.
The tea was found upon examination to
contain mineral substances which nad 9een
used 10 give color and weight to it. 1t IS
said that this shipping of "doctored' tea 70
America by English merchants is getting
to be very common. Hereafter all tea ar
riying at this port will be examined by Mr..
Davies under the act of Congress relating
to the matter, passed last March, there be.
ing no consignment on its way here now
which is exempt from the operation OF
that law. Merchants in the trade believe
that that when the English realize that the
United States Government is in earnest in
irving to prevent such stuff from being
brought into the country they vii! desist
in their attempts to sell it here!
