NEW CINCINNATI COURT HOUSE.
It is Planned, but When viii 1t BE
Finished?

Finishedo
Two years ago this spring the people of
Cincinnati had an impression that Justice
had not been done in a murder trial A col
ored murderer was sentenced TO imprison-
ment instead of to be hanged Thereupon
the indignant populace proceeded to wreak
vengeance, not on the judges who bossed the
trial, or the jury who let the prisoner off, or
yet on the lawyers whose eloquence magne-
tized the jury, but on the magnificent Hamil-
ton county court house. They riddled it and
set it on fire The fire destroyed the finest law
library west of the Atlantic states. The
damage done was almost incalculable. A
vast amount had to be added to the tax list
of the county, and the citizens will have to
go down into their pockets and pay it 1t
was jolly sort of vengeance that.

BURIED TREASURE.

As an Offset to independent politics and
earthquake matters, our special from
Houston, this morning, will be found of
some interest to lovers of the sensational
and also those familiar with the history
and incidents of the war of 1886.
As remarked by our Bayou city cores
pondent, the local traditions of Harris
county, to be found among that honored
class of our citizens known as old Texans,
point to the probability that the Mexi-
cans may have left treasures behind them,
which, during the rout on the famous
21st of April, 1886, they were unable to
make their escape with. That these ira
ditions have been seriously believed by
many-as much so as that LATTE, the
famous pirate, left gold and
silver buried on Galveston island,
is evidenced by the fact that many years
ago excavations were made in the vicin-
ity of the battle ground for the purpose
of discovering this alleged buried wealth,
but without avail.
The story which comes from Houston
may possibly be based on hearsay and
imagination, but it is interesting, never
theless, as connected with the illustrlous
contest, which gave to the people of Tex
as their liberties.

A SEA WALL AT GALVESTON.

Several citizens of Galveston are dis
cussing through the columns of the News,
the practicability of constructing sea wall
or other defense against the waters at
that place. According to enc of the esti-
mates 1t will cost 100000 per mile for a
sea wall which would be about seventy
miles long. This appears to be rather
extravagant estimate, but even if it is cor
rect, placing the value of the property in
Galveston at S21,OO0,OOO, it would cost
33l3 per cent. of the value to throw suf-
ficient protection around the property.
The Zuyder Zee in Holland was diked out
in order to reclaim land which was of no
value at all, how much greater then would
be the reason for protecting interests
which are at present so great!
There is no doubt of the fact that with
every recurring severe storm on the gulf,
Galyeston's protection against the waters
i; weakened. The interest on S7O0O,OO0
at per cent. is $4,000, which would re-
quire the levying annually on the city
property a tax of 2 per cent. at the pres
ent valuation. But how much would the

wIGGINs' LAST PREDICTION.

Another dreadful earthquake to take
place in Jacksonville, Fla, New Orleans
Houston, Galveston and San Antonio or
the 29th inst, has been predicted by the
now famous, or rather notorious, Prof
Virgins, of Canada. He again advances
the theory of the shifting of the center OF
gravity of the earth caused by the con
junction of several of the larger planet.
and the earth's two satellites, whose ex
istence he asserts.
The professor not only assumes to
foretell another prodigious subterranean
disturbance, but to indicate its direction,
and localization on the surface of our
| planet.
1t cannot be absolutely claimed that it
| is any more of an impossibility to pre-
dict such catastrophe by scientific cal
culation based on known natural phenom-
ena than it is, by mathematical process
to foretell, to a second of time the oc-
currence of an eclipse.
But until Professor Virgins has proven
the truth of his theory of planetary in
fluence in producing earthquakes, and, as
he says, shifting the center of gravity of
the earth, his prediction of the great up
heaval which, he asserts, is to shake us up
in Texas to-day week, cannot be accepted.
II would be useless to pay any more
attention to it than Virgins
prediction of the great storm
and tidal wave which were TO sweep over
the Atlantic coast some years ago, but
which came not.
Not that some of our Texas cities do
not need a shaking up,including Galveston
possibly lethargic-citizens elsewhere,
but we do not believe it will be done by
Virgins shake on the 18th.
In the meantime if the day passes
without any quake deputation of
Texas cowboys, wild and woolly," should
be sent to Canada to interview" the pre-
fessor.
How it is he left out Austin from the
list of doomed Texas towns, cannot be
imagined.

DIR. wAGGENER's ADDRESS.

Attention is called to the speech de-
livered by DR.. Leslie Waggener, the chair
man of the university faculty, to the stu
Gents, upon the formal opening of the
course of study for this scholastic year.
While the first part of the address may
have a peculiar interest to those matricu-
lated as students, the major part of the
grafton is a clear cut and mastery discus
sion fraught with interest to everyone
what is education? DR.. Waggener's dis
section and amplifcation of his theme, is
the elucidation of scholars and teach
er's retrospect of his motive in the past,
his ambition for himself and his pupils;
a rule of conduct and bid for an inspi-
ration bending to effort and success. The
appropriateness of the lesson as the initial
step in the years course, cannot be sufii-
GENTLY commended, and if the students
but stamp upon their memory the truths
they have heard, and keep as an index to
the end and aim of their studies, the
broad principles the doctor so ably laid
before them-then indeed will true edu-
cation be worked out in our state uni
versity and Texas have flung out over her
broad expanse, men worthy of their
alma mater and such instructors.

Nearly all its residents are contemplating
leaving its storm-washed shores to avoid
possible like calamities in the future. Mr.
Jesse Ramey, one of the unfortunates who

Mr.. Charles Niclwarner, brakeman on

met with very painful accident while
the train was passing Whitewright com.
ing north. He accidentally fell between
the cars, three coal cars passed over his
left arm, MASKING it into a shapeless
mass. He was brought to Denison i'm
mediately and a, surgeon called. The
arm was amputated just below, or rather
at the shoulder joint. He passed through
the operation without murmur, and
bids fair to have a speedy recovery.
strange incident connected with the
late storm is the fact that the beach
along the town of Matagorda was found
to be literally covered with snakes, after
the blow. In space of some 500 yards
fully 280 of these reptiles were slaugh-
tered. This is not a snake story, as the
party from whom we have it, although
he may be like the average man, fond of
telling a good fish or snake story coca
sionally, does not do so in this particular
instance, but vouches to the truth of the
above facts.

IT is not at all certain that, as intimated
by the Washington correspondent of the
World, the setting aside of so many demo-
cratic congressman throughout the coun-
try for new nominations, is a rebuke to
the administration. There may be other
causes why these representatives have
been invited to stay at home. However,
as to Texas members, there is no doubt
that such opponents of the presidents
silver policy as Reagan and Mills have
seemingly met with the warmest welcome
by their constituents, having been unani-
mously invited to go back to Washington.

A SLIGHT MISfAKE.

"Whose horse is tbat?" asked Mr. Barry,
the well-known liveryman, last night.
"NTr. Pillows, of the telegraph office
and he wants him fed" was the reply of
the hostler.
Must be a new horse of Mr.. Pillows.
Regular high-fyer. See how restless he is.
Knows he's in strange place. All the
flyers are that way. Call up four or five
of the boys and be careful and get him
out of that buggy and feed him well,
said the cheerful Barry.
Mr.. Barry's orders were carried out and
for solid hour that horse ate. He was
eating when telephone message from
Mr.. Pillow reached the stable wanting to
know why his horse was not sent for.
Hes been here an hour" was the
reply.
impossible, for he's standing in front
of the telegraph office now. You've made
a mistake and got somebody else's horse"
1t was true. By mistake caused by
believing that Mr.. Pillow drove fine blood
ed horses, the hostler had taken the
STATESMAN reporters horse to the stable
instead of Mr.. Pillows, both steeds being
hitched in front of the telegraph Office.

property values increase if it were an as
sured fact that there would be no danger
at all from the waters? At low estimate
the increase would not be less than 10 per
cent, and even if the assessable property
did not increase over the present amount,
that 10 per cent. increase would pay the
interest on the cost of the sea wall for five
years. Besides, there is not taken
into consideration the loss of life
and property from the storms and the de-
probation of values, because there can be
no question as to the latter happening.
If the city of Galveston had to pay one
half of the value of the city property to
purchase immunity from the waves, the
price paid would not be exhorbitant. The
two storms which have happened in the
st six months show that long time
does not necessarily have to elapse for
this water scourge to come, and it would
seem to be actually necessary for the city
to do something to protect its citizens.
Appropriations could possibly be gotten
from the national and state governments
which would decrease the expenses to be
borne by the city very much.
The idea of the writer in the News that
it would take seventy miles of sea wall is
prima face absurd, as there seems to be a
necessity for but few miles on the gulf
front, and if this be all that is required,
the above arguments will apply for
tiori
