respond and use his influence with
the eleven congressman and two
United States senators, to eliminate
the amount that may be required to
procure deep water on Galveston har-
Dor from the river and harbor bill,
and that the amount required be made
a special appropriation. 1t was fur
ther resolved that the mayor and

DEPARTMENT NOTES.

Gov. Ireland was visited yesterday
By Mrs. Hubby, of Houston, to inter
cede for the pardon of a party of her
name who was convicted years ago OF
murder in killing a man named Gard
ner in Milan county. 1t is the same
case in which Gov. Roberts committed
the sentence from death penalty to
life in the penitentiary. Gov. Ireland
refused, as he has done before in the
same case, to grant any pardon.
The charter of the Texas Invest
menU Company Qimited) of Fort

will probably cover the necessary ex-
peditureS.

New ORLEANS, Nov. 19.-The
Times-Democrat has received the fol-
lowing: In the Everglades. via
Jacksonville, Nov. 20-The Times
Democrat expedition through the
Everglades reached Lake Okeechalee
November 1. The expedition encoun-
tered two severe gales on the lake,
and two boats were swamped but no.
body was lost. We found eight large
rivers runniI g from the lake south
into the Everglades, which we par
italy explored. We made six unsuc-
cessful attempts to cut through the
swamps bordering on the Everglades.
On the 10th of November we went
up the I'D. river distance of two
miles. This river, which we named
for the Times-Democrat, is on
the extreme southern shore of
the lake. From the banks of
the river we cut through the
surrounding marsh. The expedition
is now within a half a mile of the
great saw grass, and is going at the
rate of a quarter of a mile a day.
There is neither water to float canoes
nor land to stand on, nothing but mud
and marsh. The grass is ten feet high.
We are going through it if in the
power of mortal man. All well.
A subsequent dispatch from Fort
Myers indicates that the expedition is
in great danger, if not lost, because of
a great fire in the saw grass. This in
formation comes from a gentleman
who accompanied the expedition to
the edge of the saw grass region, bor-
der1ng on the lake. The telegram is
as follows:
FORT MYERS, Fla, Nov. 19-I ac-
companled the TimeS-Democrat party
until they cut two day journey
through the border of the Everglades.
The second day after leaving the
party and while sailing on Lake
Okeechahee, I discovered that the
saw grass marsh had been set on fire
and the country for miles now is
one of raging fires. If the expedition
fired the grass purposely before get
ing in they acted wisely. If done by
accident after entering 1t, or set fire
by Indians, not one of the expedition
will ever live to tell the tale"
Signed] S. II. MARSH.
The Times-Democrat telegraphed
to Diston, where company is dredg-
ing along up the border Of the lake, to
send relief party in search of the ex-
petition and discover if they have
been injured by the fire.

CHURCH NOTES.

Rev. E. E. Bramlette, one of the tu-
tors of the state university, and quite
young man, preached his first ser
mon in this city Sunday to DR.. Good
wyn's congregation, in the senate
chamber. His subject, Faith" was
treated in brief and peculiar, but
refreshing manner. His discourse
was supplemented with a fine exhor-
tation by DR.. Goodwin. Two misses,
both quite young, but, as the pastor
explained, fully advised of the nature
of the responsibility and old enough
to properly appreciate the obligation
OF the church, were received into
membership, DIR. Goodwin also took
occasion to allude to the subject of
he new church and urged the men,
bers of the congregation to contribute
to the balance required for the COM
pletion of the building. In connec-
ton with the current expenses of the
church, Mr.. Doom, at the close
of the services, stated that
out of a membership of about 400
names on the church register, less than
100 had so far paid up their assess
ments, and that in consequence there
was a balance of 1901 due the pastor
on his salary. He hoped they would
now come forward and close the
breach by their contributions, in adj
vance of the annual conference, to
which the pastor will shortly have to
report.
Among the most active workers of
the church is Mrs. Gov. Ireland, who
seems never to tire of doing good and
is ready and willing to assist in every
charitable service. Among other la
dies deserving mention in this respect
may be named Mines. Folts, Kirby,
Stacy, Parker, Fisher, Warren, Wal
ton, Donnan, Hicks, Hotchkiss, Cal
lett, Morris, Moore, Ainsworth, Doom,
Pope, Hill, Sadler, Ragsdale, Murrah,
Written, Warmoth, Zimpelman, Cool
wyn, Misses Ireland, Swearingen,
Hardeman, Williams, Shelley, Jones,
Fry, Goodwin, and others whose
names do not just now occur to the
writer.
AS observed by the reporter, who
by the way, will be civil enough to
visit and take notes of the other
churches occasionally, DR.. G.'s services
were well attended, including a num-
Der of young ladies and gentlemen,
students of the state university, and
other schools of the city. With one
of the most accomplished organists in
the city, and a good choir, the congre-
cation needs only fine organ to have
excellent music. The addition of Miss
Simpsons sweet soprano voice to the |
choir, makes quite a notable improve
ment in the singing. The congrega-
tion will doubtless take steps to have |
a grand organ for the new church, as
soon as practicable after their hand
some edifice is finished. They expect |
to have the basement of their building
completed for regular Sunday services
by the end of the year.
The missionary society of the |
church meets monthly, Friday even
ings, at Mrs. Kirby's. The Ladies'
Aid society meets at 3: 30 p. m, every |
Friday at the parsonage.

Resolution of Thanks.
TYLER Courier.1


Col. Britton, the state railroad en-
gineer, is well satisfied with the con-
dition of the different roads.-Orange
Tribune.
Certainly; Col. Britton knows just
how to return a favor after riding
over a railroad with it's superintend-
ant, and both on a special train at
that. When the legislature meets it
ought to thank the railroad managers
for keeping their road beds and their
rolling stock in such fine condition, as
it is reported to be by Col. Britton.
But for the reports of Col Britton the
people along the lines of the Texas &
st. Louis and the Texas & Pacific
roads would have pronounced them
rough and dangerous. 1t is indeed a
relief to know Officially" through Col
Britton that these roads are first-class
in every particular.

The Prince Won Redeem, lord high
chamberlain and director of the court
of music at Berlin, whose death is
Just announced, married the daughter
and heiress of the great Hamburg
millionaire, Senator Jenisch, lady of
extraordinary intelligence and spirit,
who died eight years ago. At the
time of the marriage, despite Countess
Redern's enormous wealth, remarkable
beauty and intellectual endowments,
she was not considered well born
enough to grace the Princes
circle. She was, however, pre-
scented soon after her marriage, and
Frederick William ~, after acknowl-
edging the youthful brides profound
obeisance, exclaimed, in voice suffi-
GENTLY loud to be heard by all the per-
sonages: "Ah! Countess Redern-by
the way, tell us what was it your ia
Their dealt imp" The countess drew
herself up to her full height from the
reverential attitude in which she had
been standing before the hrone, and
replied: my father, your majesty,
dealt in integrity and intelligenceP'
The king subsequently always paid
marked attention to her.

Commander Frank Wildes, COM
handing the Yantic, appeared before
the Proteus court of inquiry and pre-
vious to taking oath asked whether he
appeared to testify to the acts of
others or to have his conduct as COM
mander inquired into. The room was
cleared while the subject was consid-
cred. After short conference Com
mander Wildes was informed he was
summoned as witness. He had pre-
viously refused to answer any ques-
ton tending to criminate himself.
He was then sworn and said upon
learning of the disaster of the Pro-
teus, it occurred to him to send sleds
for the Proteus or Greeley party. He
refused, however, to give the court his
views on the subject.
The following official order has
been made; 1t appearing that certain
persons have been practicing systema-
tic frauds On eX-union soldiers and
their widows and orphans or other
heirs,..by making false representations
concerning pension claims and eX-
tcrting illegal fees for services preten-
ded to have been SO promised to be rem
dered, and this department having
reason to believe some postmasters
are aiding these fraudulent agents by
furnishing them list of names of eX-
union soldiers and others supposed to
be entitled to pensions, and also by
distributing their unaddressed circu-
lars among that class. Therefore
postmasters are forbidden, hereafter,
to furnish such lists or to distribute
any circulars of the kind indicated,
unless addressed to some Individual

A decision was rendered by the
supreme court Of the United States
to-day in the important Mercer Colo
ny" land case Of William G. Walsh,
commissioner of the general land Of
flee of the state of Texas, against
William Preston. This was a suit
originally brought by Preston, upon
an alleged contract between the Re
public of Texas and one Charles F.
Mercer, by which the latter agreed to
bring into Texas large number of
immigrant families and settle them
upon the unoccupled lands, and the
republic of Texas agreed to give Mer-
Ger and his associates, by way of COM
pensation for this work, $40
acres of land for every fami-
ly thus brought within its limits.
The court holds: inasmuch as
there is no proof that Mercer
ever brought enough settlers into the
Republic of Texas to constitute a
shadow of compliance on his part
with the terms of the contract, the
state is released from all obligations,
which the Republic of Texas may have
assumed by virtue of such contract,
and that accompaniment has no valid
claim to equitable relief. The judg-
ment of the United States circuit
court is reversed and the case re-
manded, with directions to dismiss
the bill. Opinion by Justice Miller,
Justice Harlan dissenting.
