GALVESTON.

GALVESTON, Oct. THE lease of the flats
in the harbOr to Charles Fowler now awaits
only the signature of the mayor TO make ii
binding. So far as is known veto is not
probable. The preliminary impression is that
the grant is for Mr.. Huntington to establish the
tern inal facilities of the Southern Pacific rail-
road. If such is the case, it is probable that the
Virginia Point project will be thrown in the
back ground. Another outcome will likely be
the establishment of a powerful rival to the
present wharf monopoly. The idea that the
railroads and municipality. instead of the
national government, should build the harbor
is being actively propagated; and, in this con-
nection, the charge is publicly made that the
jetty wall, upon which so much has been eX-
pended, has sunk seven feet, the result of
quickSand, action of the waves or ravageS of
sea insects.
While attending the services at the syna-
gogue to-day Mr.. II. Kaufman and his two
children, Joseph and Belle, also Mr.. J. Meyer
and daughter, Hattie, were taken violently i'll,
vomiting and exhibiting all syptoms of poison
ing. Medical aid was quickly summoned and
ali are now on Il fair way to recover. InveSti-
CATION showed that all had partaMep of cake
which had been prepared by Mrs.. Meyer and
divided between the two families. What in
gradients came so near causing five deaths can
only lie determined by a chemical ANALYSIS.

in giving the history of protection he said that
political parties had always urged it
as temporary measures. The Wing party
thought that it was ephemeral, but protection
existed, and still the cry was in a few years
longer, its objects will be accomplished. He
deprecated the fact that the tariff on tobacco

By order of board of directors.

Why is it so many su Ter from rheu-
matism, aches, pains, kidney diseases,
liver complaints, heart affections, etc ?
1t is simply because they will not
come and be healed. All diseases be-
gin from a want of iron in the blood.
This want OF iron makes the blood
thin, watery and impure. Impure
blood carries weakness and distress to
every part of the body. Supply this
lack of iron by using Browns Iron
Bitters and you will soon find your
self enjoying perfect freedom from
aches, pains and general i'll health.
