THE CAPITOL SQUABBLE.
A Liberal Proposition From the
Contractor.

There was another meeting of the
capitol board yesterday afternoon, when
all the board were present except Treas
urer Lubbock, who is attending the
barbecue at San Angelo. Colonel Abner
Taylor, the contractor and his attorney,
A. l.. Matlock, were present.
The proposition of Mr.. Wilke, the sub
contractor, to substitute new roof of
tin or put the copper one in order, being
referred to, Governor Ross said he was
not ready to act upon that proposition.
Calling General Hogg to the chair he pro-
posed an adjournment.
Colonel Taylor-"Ileft communication
on your desk"
Governor Ross-"Very Well. You had
better get it, as did not see it,"
Colonel Taylor went to the governors
desk where he found it still unopened. 1t
was then handed to Secretary Dickinson,
who read it.
Colonel Taylor's proposition in sub
stance stated that, having been advised
that there were objections on the part of
some of the board to some of the work
and material of the new capitol, he came
here to acquaint himself with the objec-
tions and ask the board to point out the
alleged defects. He believed that the
building had been completed according to
contract, even including the roof, though
not satisfied himself as to the material
adopted for the roof. Mr.. Wilke, however,
had submitted proposition which, if ac-
copied, would, he thought, remedy this
matter. He was not disposed, however, to
stand on technicaIities, and desired to
complete the building SO that it would be
a credit to all parties, and stood ready to
remedy such defects as exist under his
contract with the state.
A rambling discussion followed the read
ing of Colonel Taylor's communication,
principally between Land Commiss Toner
Hall and Attorney-general Hogg, when
the board adjourned until to-day, when it
will hold secret session.

IN BUSINESS CIRCLES.
Result OF a Roundup by States
man Reporter.

In whatever pertains to the business
inte rests of the city of Austin The
STATESMAN is first, last and all the time,
Jealous in, so far as lies in its power,
giving to the public and in directing and
attracting the attention of merchants in
the territory contiguous 10 Austin to the
excellent facilities offered by our whole
sale men for supplying them with every
thing they can possibly need in conduct
ing their business and supplying their
retail trade.
In the course of general roundup"
among the merchants yesterday, re-
porter of The STATESMAN, on hunt for
items and to talk crops and the prospects
for the fall trade, dropped in for chat
with Mr.. John Orr, the wholesale
grocer. Mr.. Orr has been in this
city but two years, having moved here
from Calvert, Tex, in August, 1856,
but in that com aratively short period of
time he has become thoroughly associated
with the business interests of the city and
is we'll known as one of the heartiest
workers towards any project looking to
the mercantile advancement of Austin.
Mr.. Orr was for eighteen years resident
of Calvert, and while in that city was en-
gagged in the same line of business as
now, and is as oonversant with it and the
particular needs and demands of this
section as is the carpenter with the plane

Stacks of such goods as soda, starch, soap

indicates that great many staples are
handled here, while piles of sugar, of al

Austin Singing Circle-attended the
corner stone laying at st. Edwards college
on Sunday afternoon in full force, and
delighted their hearers with choice Sc
lections. First in the reportory was a
"veni Creator" in full chorus, an original
composition by the director of the circle,
Prof. VIM. Besserer, and was composed
specially for the occasion. The harmonic
and contrapuntal features of this sacred
song reflects credit on the young and
talented composer, whom we are glad to
call an Austinite. The ebay of the Lord
by ZSyssig, and "Hymu of Praise" by
Otto, were rendered in grand style. The
following are the members who took part
in the singing; First tenor-H. BARBER,

Railroad Accident.

A south bound freight train on the
International yesterday afternoon about
1 O'Clock, while approaching the trestle
work leading to the bridge, had the engine
to jump the track, owing to some defect
about the switches.
The engine was carrying full head of
steam, and before it could be shut off the
engine was wrenched across the track,
derailing the tender and dragging from
the rails the first freight car and the
trucks of the second.
Ths track was badly used up, and tie
wreck was not cleared and the track made
passable until a'clock last night.
John Carroll, the engineer, stood at his
post of duty until his engine stopped and
began to careen over, when he jumped off,
painfully sprainipg his ankle.
The first freight car turned over on its
side ard was left in that position last
night. The accident delayed both south
and north bound trains.

Quarantine Declared Against New
Orleans by the!Authorities.


Orleans by the!Authorities.
State Health Officer Rutherford, upon
information from New Orleans, Saturday
night, declared quarantine against that
city.
He had what he conceived to be positive
information from an authentic source of
the existence of two cases of fever in that
city.
Doctor Rutherford was in the city Sun
day,to consult with the governor about it,
and his action was approved, notwithstand-
ing several kilograms we're received from
New Orleans denying that fever existed
there. Doctor Wilkerson, chairman of
the board of health, telegrsphed the gov
ernor yesterday morning relative to the
matter: and the following reply was sent
him:
AUSTIN, September II, 1883.
c z. Wilkerson, New Orleans:
The precautionary measure to prevent Texas
from the hazard of yellow fever was based upon
information deemed authentic by DR.. Rutherford.
If his prompt action proves unnecessary the
quarantine will be raised. He will doubtless give
due respect to your personal assurances.
L. S. Ross
DR.. Rutherford Saturday night removed
DR.. Blunt, health officer at Galveston, and
appointed DR.. Fisher in his stead and his
action was approved yesterday by the
governor.

A Hint to Puny People.

From their arrival on this planet to their
usually early departure from it, people Of
weak constitutions and angular physiques
pass sort of half-existence. Like dormice
they burrow in their home retreats, afraid of
heat, afraid of cold, constantly afraid that the
shadow of the dread reaperwill materializeand
exact the forfeit which he demands from all,
sooner or later. No finer medicinal assurance
that afforded by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Used with persistence-not with spurts and
spasms-this genial and professionally COM
mended tonic will do much toward infusing
strength into puny system, and rounding of
petite, nerve tranquility and nightly repose
are encouraged by it, and malarial, rheu-
matte, bilious tendency overcome. 1t re-
establishes digestion and prevents kidney
troubles.
