THE CONCERT.
Fourth Entertainment of the
Musical Union.

MuSlCdl OulOu.
If the Musical Union do not prove one
of the financial successes of Austin enter
prises it will not be for want of merit nor
lack of excellence in any of its entertain
ments. The series of summer evening
concerts given during the season have
been some of the most enjoyable musical
treats ever given in this city. Number
four of the summer series was given last
evening at the Union hall to a
large, fashionable and appreciative au-
dience. The programme opened with a
quartette, 80, Vert Thou in the Cold
Blast" by the Misses Habicht, Messrs.
Newning and Warner. This was the first
time an Austin audience has been favored
by the singing of the two young ladies
mentioned, and their voices are, indeed,
a valued addition to the Union and the
musical interests of the city. Their tones
are rich, full, strong and bird-like; their
voices are beautifully trained. In the
quartette and in duett later in the
evening their voices mingled exquisitely,
and, in the runs up ann down the register,
they were as ripping water, mellow in
tone, sympathetic in touching harmony,
clear and distinct in every note
and syllable. Theirs, certainly, is
the power to please with the
rich and beautiful gift at their command.
Mr.. W. E. Booth was down upon the pro-
gramme for recitation "Combat from
the Lady of the Lake." but not being
prepared with that extract from the
Scottish bard, he, by persuasion of the
audience, as voiced by Mr.. Stacy, sub
stituted story of one Prometheus. Mr..
Booth has recited this interesting episode
once before in Austin, but that did not
detract from the enjoyment thereof, the
history partaking rather of that ripeness
of flavor which connoisseurs have ever
held, age alone can give to product of the
vineyard and wine press.
A solo: soft in the Silly Night" by
Miss Ruth Lee, was one of those gems of
song that hold the audience enrapt, and
her voice is one that can enchant the list
ener for hours without WEAKNESS.
Mrs. Campbell sang the favorite old
Scotch ballad, "The Maid of Dundee"
that received a hearty and merited encore,
to which she responded (by special request)
by whistlipg "The Nightengale," accom-
panying herself upon the piano. This
was also heartily enc0red, for no one
could listen to the exquisite whistliug of
Mrs. Campbell and be satisfied with one
rendition.
A Scotch ballad by Mr.. Warner (the
Scottish school of music was the favorite
last evening", and chorus by the Union
ensemble concluded the excellent pro-
gramme, after which the floor was pre-.
pared for dancing and several figures of
the german, lead by Mr.. E. S. Morris snd
Miss Eula Caldwell were danced, the entire
delightful evening closing its pleasures
with the stroke of the midnight hour.

Looping Wolves.

Mr.. W. b. Brady, who lives near the
city limits on East Seventh street, yester-
day evening hearing a great commotion
among lis chickens looked to see what
was the matter, and discovered large
looping wolf in the act of making his din
ner of a fine Plymouth Rock. Mr.. Brady
quietly reached for his trusty gun. In the
meantime Mr.. Wolf concluded he didn't
like the chicken nor the neighborhood,
and began to make hasty retreat, but to
late to miss the load of buckshot sent
after him, and he made off badly wounded
Parties from the prairie districts state
they have never seen wolves 80 numerous
and bold as at present.

THE RECEPTION BOARD.
They Met Yesterday and Refuse
to Receive the Building.


The capitol reception board held a
meeting yesterday morning, and after
some discussion, unanimously adopted
the following resolution, introduced by
Land Commissioner Hall and which was
seconded by Treasurer Lubbock:
"Wherees, The qualified acceptance
under the act of May 2, 1888, of such por-
tions of the new capitol building as were
stated by the commissioners to be
furnished, saved and reserved to the state
all rights under the contract; and,
Whereas, From investigations thus far
made, defects then latent are
now shown to exist IN said
building, and that said defects
are not the result of the use by the public
of those portions SO received by the board;
and,
Whereas, 1t is found that the roof leaks
in many places, and has SO leaked from
the time it was put on; and,
Whereas, The state, under the contract,
is entitled to water-tight roof of the best
construction; and,
Whereas, Said leaks are claimed by the
commissioners and others to be caused by
the expansion aud contraction of the
metal, against which, under the contract,
the contractor was bound to provide;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the opinion of the
board that the capitol building is not in
its entirety finished by the contractor in
the very best workmaulike manner, style
and method, aud we decline to receive the
same.
The capitol board will now meet and
consider the proposition made by Mr..
Wilke to put the roof in good condition.
Encouragement Hogg returned from
Hampstead last afternoon, aud the board
will probably meet to-day to consider the
! matter.

IMMIGRATION.
Texas Now Should Get to Work in
This Important Matter.

Mr.. f. B. Chiffon, secretary of the
Texas immigration bureau, was on hand
with four large chests Of printed infor-
nation about Texas, including railroad
folder, which was spoken of as an encyclo-
pedia of Texas facts and figures. Copies
of this folder will be placed in the waiting
room of every railway station west of the
Mississippi river, whereby home seekers
and capitalists may read and learn to love
Texas. From a San Antonio gentleman
News reporter learned that Texas has
not come up to what Governor Ireland
would call "the full measure of It's great
ness" in this immigration movement, all
but four of the senatorial districts hav-
ing defaulted in whole or in part. The
districts that came up to the full measure
of public spirit were those of Dallas, Gal
weston, Abilene and the Pecos. This infor-
nation must be news to those who remem.
Der the dictatorial role played on the focr
of the immigration convention by a
few who are now as remarkable for being
in the background as they were there con-
spicuous in their opposition to the Dallas
man to whom the convention, and cOnse-
quently the immigration movement, was
due. But the movement, all the same.
goes bravely on. In Colorado it is upon
the lips of thousands; in the other south
ern states it has suggested the import
ance of a solid southern immigration
movement. Prompted with that idea by
the governors and immigration commits
sioners of North Carolina, Tennessee,
Florida and Alabama, Mr.. Chiffon, of the
Texas immigration bureau, while in this
city, has issued a call for
AN IMMIGRATION CONVENTION
of all the southern states to be held in
Montgomery, Ala, commencing Noyem-
Der ], delegates to be similarly appointed
as they were to the deep water convention.
By the mutual action and aid of all the
southern states a bureau of immigration,
it is expected, will be organized with
width of Influence that will reach the Mt
most confines of civilization.
The above, taken from the Dallas News
of September 4, furnishes much food for
reflection, and demonstrates this fact;
That the state immigration bureau, under
the management of F. B. Chiffon, has

Broke Jail.N

Yesterday morning when the Jail officials
opened the Jail door and entered the
building they found the door of the cell il
which they had kept Earnest Trimble and
Ed. Barker the night before wide open and
the two gents missing by very large
majority.
An investigation showed that they
managed to secure bar of iron with
which they forced the door, and, after
getting ont of the cell, egress from the
building was an easy job, as the windows
have been taken out preparatory to
putting in new ones.
Trimble was implicated in the Driskill
hotel robbery, which occurred some weeks
ago, and Barke: was in for theft. Both
are colOred.

The chairman of the republican county
executive committee has called conven-

The number of delegates to attend have

city about ten majority over the entire
