The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1888-08-16

The dispatches last night from Dallas
indicate that the "Old Mariner" will have
a tempestuous trip through this state con
vention. He has held his present post of
honor and profit for many years, and
should the party this time say him nay,
surely he cannot fud it in his heart to
rebel.

AND it is Texan who has taken the
first practical step against the trusts.
Senator Reagan yesterday introduced a
bill in the senate, the object of which is to
break up the trusts and punish the mem
bers thereof. That is business. Many other
senators have done much talking, but
nothing else on this subject.

During the month of July last the Chi
cago, Burlington aud Quincy hauled more
than 20 per cent of all the lIveetock de-
iivered in Chicago. If it be true, as the
striking engineers declare, that this road
Is now doing but one-third its usual
amount of business, it must have enjoyed
a very large cattle tonnage. But one who
believes what the strikers say is also
bound to believe that the Burlington car
ries 90 per cent of the cattle reaching
Chicago, and no one, who has not taken
leave of his senses, believes that.

YELLOW FEVER.

Notwithstanding al the deception
u. ually practiced at the beginning of a
yellow fever epidemic, it is now confessed
as a fact that this horrible disease is
spreading all over Florida. At first it
was confined to one or two cases in an
obscure village north of Tampa. Now
Tampa is in the first stages of the cpl
demic. Manatee, small village, has
several cases. The disease is so mild at
Jacksonville as to occasion little alarm,
but it is marching on, nevertheless.
The malady has not been officially an
noun ced at st. Augustine, but something
must be wrong from the panic among the
people of that town during the last few
days, large number having fed.
The saffron contagion in Florida
evidently exists under the conditions
favorable to its spread, and it is not i'm
possible, from all we know of the habits
of yellow fever, that it should reach the
Mississippi valley yet before the end of
the season. Nor, is Texas free from
danger, and State Health Officer Ruther-
ford should keep close watch on New
Orleans, the great mother of epidemics in
the southwest, whilst every effort should
likewise be directed against the entrance
of the scourge from Matamoras, where it
is officially reported to be in existence.

Demise Of n Popular Citizen, Yesterday

Demise Of q Popular Citizen, Yesterday
Morning.
W. II. Waddle died at his residence in
Elm Grove, yesterday morning, after an
illness of about five or six weeks. No
death in this vicinity within recent years
occssioned more regret. When the news
reached the city and county building, yes
terday morning, expressions Of sorrow
among the Off Gals were universal, and all
Joined in recountipg the many estimable
qualities of the man. As husband and
father, as a citizen, and M an official, he
was one to be taken as a worthy subject OF
emulation, and citizens generally will join
with the REGISTER in this brief but earnest
tribute to his worth.
The deceased was born near Elm Grove
in 1S43, and was therefore in his fortieth
year. For time he was engaged in the
coal business at Elm Grove, and later was
in partnership with W. T. Chambers in the
same town. In 1876 he was elected TO the
Board of Commissioners from Triadelphia
district and served with great credit TO
himself and profit to the county. When
Sheriff Brown went into office Mr.. Waddle
was made his chief deputy, and in this post
he was continued by Sheriff Handlan, who
recognized his ability as an official. May
II, 1887, deceased was chosen a School
Commissioner for Triadelphia, having no
opposition, and received almost the mani
nous vote of the district This office he
held at the time of his death.
Politically, Mr.. Waddle was an ener.
eetic member of the Democratic party, and
as such welded powerful influence in his
district.

RAILROAD WRECK.

A Panhandle Train Jumps the Track
Three Men Hurt.
kserious accident occurred ct the Bel
mont mill. yesterday morning between 3
and 4 o'clock. Engine No. 80, in charge
of Engineer Dave Richie and Fireman
George Sheets, hauling train of pig iron,
ran into an open switch leading from the
mill to the Pewiky track and left the track
on the side towards the mill, while the
tender went over the bank, together with
three cars Of the metal. Richie sprang on
the same side as his engine and escaped
with sprained ankle, while Sheets jumped
over the bank on the other side The latter
was severely hurt about the arcs, back
and iegs and was taken to his home, where
he received medical attention.
Alex Kinney, ths engineer of the dinky
which was lying on the switch, and which
was thrown off the track by the locomo-
tive, was severely bruised By the force of
the collision. The responsibility Of the
accident seems to rest with the mill COM
pany, SIS it was through the failure Of their
employees to close the switch that the acct
dent occurred.

Wheeling Wins and Goes to Second Place
Other Games.

Wheeling Wins and Goes to Second Place
Other Games.
The second game of the series between
Mansfield and Wheeling z, at Island Park
yesterday aftesnoon, proved a close and
exciting contest. Wheeling succeeded in
obtaining good lead in the fourth inning,
but the visitors tied the score in their half
of the sixth, and from that on to the end
of the tenth it was auybody's game. In
that inning, aided by misjudged fly,
base on balls and several wild pitches on
the part of Darrah, our boys crossed the
plate twice, and, by banking the Ohio
boys, won the game.
The batting of Nichol, stapleton and
Brodis was good, the former having no less
than double, triple and two singles to
his credit. Morrison pitched an excellent
game, only six scattering hits being made
off his delivery. Other noticeable features
of the game were a fine catch OF a red-hot
liner from Peaks bat by Allen, the fine
right field play of Lerscb, and the excel
lent throwing Of both catchers to second.
Brodie drove tremendously hard hit past
the pitcher in the eighth, which Umpire
McDsrmott caught full on the knee-csp,
ipiuripg him so severely that he was
obliged to retire. He place WAS acceptably
filled by substitute umpire Sheppard.
Rrodie's hit would certainly have been
good for three bases, and it was unfortu-
nate that McDsrmott was not behind the
at at the time, as the drive would have
brought in Crogan, who was on first, and
TINS won the game for Wheeling.
By their victory of yesterday, our team
goes to second place, as Columbus lost
again to Zanesville. If the boys keep mp
their winning streak, they will soon be
hustling Lima for second place, and there
is no reason why they shouldn't, rs they
are playing ball for all there is in it.

gentlemen named are fully quail
fed to discharge the duties of the Office.
ana If nominated they wonld surely be
called upon to fill the position, for an
election by the people will inevitably re-
suit to the candidate of the Democracy.
For Prosecuting Attorney, two names
will be presented to the Convention. The
gentlemen contestipg for the place are
Lewis Jordan, the present efficient incum-
bent of the Office, and John A. Howard, q
well-known and rising member of the bar.
For Assessor for the City District there are
three candidates, Charles Blanchard, the
present competent incumbent of the Office,
d. H. Phillips, the well-known Justice Of
the Peace, ard George He'll, lately the Sec
rotary of the Board of Gas Trustees.
In the country district there are two
contestants, Noah Zane, who has filled the
place successfully for several years, and
Deputy Sheriff Morg. McCulloch, whom
everybody knows.
Candidates for district officers have been
named in all the districts in the county,
and the names have been heretofore pub.
lished in the REGISTER. The gentlemen
fixed upon are all capable citizens, and
will make an excellent set of officers, let
the voters at the primaries select whom
they may.
There yet remains an impression in sew
eral quarters, that the Clerkships Of the
County and Circuit Courts are to be filled
at the election the coming autumn. This
is o mistake, as both Clerk Hook and Clerk
Mitchell hold their offices for two more
years.
The fact that the Convention of Monday
is to select candidates for the House OF
Delegates should not be forgotten, and
every one should remember the great i'm.
portance of good nominations being made
for these places. Not only are the inter
ests of the city and county to be looked
after, but the Legislature to be elected
this fall is to choose an United States Sen
ator, to fill the vacancy caused by the ex-
piration OF Senator Kenna's term, and the
greatest care should be taken to send good
men to the body which is to make the
choice.
There is every indication that very
large vote will be polled. Every Demo-
crat should make it point to cast his vote
some time during the afternoon.

structed to report at the next regular
meeting of this Board, if it would be ad-
yisable to have the lot and buildings lying
south of the Webster school, in same

After a protracted debate, this was
amended by inserting the Committee on

mittse to examine into the matter and re-
port.

SOME COMMENTS.

SOME COMMENTS.
In connection with his statistical report,
Superintendent Anderson said:
The school year, which is near to its
close, has been q very prosperous one.
There has been no general interruption OF
the schools. The whole number Of days
will be over two hundred, which is above
the school number. The enrolment has
increased considerably, Notwithstanding
the fact that Washington school has not
been fully represented on the rolls. On
account of a large part of that school being
kept entirely ont Of the district, and quite
inconvenient to those living in the north
ern part of the city, the attendance has
not been "a good as when 1t was more con-
venisnt. The prevalence Of measles and
humps has also affected the attendance in
some parts of the city during the year.
THE COURSE OF STUDY.
'The course of study has been carefully
followed, and the rules and regulations
prescribed by the Board fully enforced.
''Tbe grade meetings for the year have
been of unusual interest. In all things
the principals and teachers have their
most earnest attention and hearty CO.
operation.
"There seems to be q general demand
for more supplementary resiing, and l
would invite your attention to the matter.
"The physical geography now in use

garded as too exhaustive and cumbersome,

The superintendent then recited the
names of the various graduates, which have
been heretofore published.

dent in regard to text books brought on

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

Delegations Should be Sent From This
State to the Baltimore Convention.
Chairman I. S. Riley, Of the Democratic
State Executive Committee said to
REGISTER reporter yesterday:
81 see you published this morning the
call Of the National League of Democratic
Clubs. / have been in correspondence
with Edward B. Whitney the Secretary,
and he is anxious that our city and State
be represented. Clubs Of Clarksburg,
Martinsburg and Philippi have Joined the
League and will be represented. We have
ten or twelve good clubs in this county,
and think some of them ut least should
be represented in this convention at Bal
timore, on July the Fourth. As time IL
short, meetings should be called as soon
rs possible, and Clubs desiring to join the
League should elect delegates. i under
stand that all railroads will sell excursion

sented in this convention"
