H. AND T. C. LANDS.
The Attorney General Asks that no More Pat
ents Receive Commissioner Halls
Signature

Special to the Gazette
AUSTIN, TEX. Sept. 12.-The follow
ing explains itself:
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE,
Austin, Tex. Sept. IL.
To Hon. R. NJ. Hall, Commissioner of the Land
DEAR SIR-The attention Of this de-
partment has been drawn to the fact that
the Houston and Texas Central railway
company has recently placed all lands
claimed by it on the market for sale; that
it is now fast disposing of them by quit
claim deeds; that itsis procuring patents
to them as fast as possible,
and also the lands claimed by
the Waco aha Northwestern
railroad by its assignees. ImpelIed by
a sense of duty and propriety as well,
this department begs to ask that no more
patents claimed by that company receive
your signature for the reasons:
l. That this department deems the as
sigument of the Waco and n Northwestern
claim TO the Houston and Texas Central
railroad company illegal and unauthor-
lied, and that the lands in fact or in law
were never earned from the state by said
Waco and Northwestern.
2. That if not all the certificates
to the Houston and Texas Central rail-
way company are illegal, now that it has
obtained sixteen sections to the mile for
sidings, and switches in addition to every
linial mile of road completed under the
law, thereby acquiring improperly nearly
one million acres of land more than it
was entitled to.
Action to settle the questions in court
has thus far been delayed on &C
count of other important heavy
litigation and other duties that
require the undivided attention of the
force in the department. Feeling that
you have never been fully advised of the
premises, this letter is, with the pro-
foundest respect, addressed to you.
Your Obedient servant,
Signed. j. s. HOGG,
Attorney General.

IN THE SWIM.
The Growing Glory OF Fort Worth Her
Pure Artesian Water.
How it is Used in the Great NatatOrium Soon
to be CompIeted-A Magnificent
Institution.

The Fort Worth natatorium will soon
be completed, and will be an Institution
of which Fort Worth may well be proud.
The building, which is of pressed brick
and stone, would be an ornament to any
city, and the enterprising citizens who
have invested such a large sum of
money in this institution deserve credit
for their faith in the city and
for their public spirit. Although the
building is not finished, the swimming
pool has been thrown open to the pub
lie. and daily hundreds of our people
avail themselves of the privilege of dis
porting themselves in the finest water
found in the state of Texas, the far
famed artesian water. The pool, tank
or basin, which is 100 feet long, about
forty feet wide and twelve feet deep
is built of cut stone cemented to make il
perfectly water tight. Into this basin
hot and cold artesian water flows at the
rate of 1000 gallons an hour, entering at
the bottom of the basin. A waste pipe
carrying of 1000 gallons an hour empties
the water from the surface, so
that the basin is always
filled with pure water. 1t required
thrty-three hours to fill this basin, so the
the capacity of the basin can be appT6-
ciated. Around the basin are some
thirty dressing rooms, while sliding
boards, spring boards, ropes and rings
are arranged in the room for the benefit
of swimmers. 1t Is the intention
to have ladies' and children $
days as well as gentlemen days.
A portion of the basin is so arranged
that the water is shallow for those who
do not wish to trust themselves to deep
water It is said that if it is found de-
sIrable huge blocks of salt can be
brought here from New Iberia, La,
and a genuine sea bath enjoyed without
travelling to the gulf.
Turkish. Russian, vapOr and other
baths viii be put in before the building
will be completed. Fort Worth can
boast of the most magnificent swimming
school and Iavatory in the South.

seeepshead Bay Races.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-The Coney Is
land jockey club determined to hold races
at Sheepshead Bay to-day, no matter
what the condition of the weather was.
The day was decidedly bad for racing.
The rain was so binding that the specta
tors could hardly see the start, and only
occasionally could they distinguish the
colors of the jockeys on the track. The
track was fetlOck deep in mud. The
event of the day was the great Eastern
handicap, for which twenty horses
started. The lottery of racing was adj
mirably exemplified in the result. The
Hearst stable relied on the $40 ZOO colt,
King Thomas, but he was left at the
post and the race was won by his stable
companion, Tournament, who was so
little thought of as winner that a stable
boy rode him. He started at odds of
eighty to one. Most of the finishes were
close. The number Of spectators was
small.
First race-Seven- eighths of a mile.
Cartoon won; Maidstone, second; Cas-
sius, third Time, 1888.
Second race-One and one-eighth
miles. Oarsman won; Swift, second.
Time, 2:01.
Third race-One mile. Badge won;
Bess, second; HindOo Craft, third.
Time, 1:4S.
Fourth race-The great Eastern handi-
cap for two-year-olds, three-quarters of
a mile. Tournament won; Lord Dali
meny, second; Civil Service, third.
Time, 1:l7
Fifth race-Seven furlongs. Gregory
won; Prince Edward, second; Mary T.
third. Time, 1:33.
Sixth race-One mile and three fur
longs on the turf Bellewood won;
Burnside, second; Lotion, third. Time,
2:43.

THE GALVESTON PosToFFICE.
An Interesting Race for q Soft Place Under
Government.

An Interesting Race for q Soft Place Under
Government
Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEX. Sept. 12.-The Of
fee of postmaster at this place, now so
ably and acceptably filed by Col. Thomas
A. Gary, promises to become a bone of
contention among ofice-seeking Repnb-
licans since the withdrawal of Capt.
william. H. Griffin. It was developed
to-day that there are three active appli-
cants in the field for this lucrative office.
They are Col. William H Sinclair, Col.
William NJ. Stafford and Mrs. Virginia
Morris, the present stamp clerk in the Of
fee.
Col. Sinclair is now in Washington
wrestling with the powers that be for the
place. While his friends are hopeful of
his success, the straight-laced RepubIi-
cans believe he does not stand a ghost of
a chance. They hold that his interview
in 1884, after Cleveland's election,
wherein he spoke euIogisticalIy OF the
president-elect, and IN derogation of
Mr.. Blaine, will defeat him
in his efforts for Office under the
present administration, of which Blaine
is so powerful q factor. This interview
they assert is on file in all the depart
ments at Washington and will be used to
defeat Sinclair in his efforts to secure the
postmastership here. Ever since that
interview Col. Sinclair has not been re-
garded by the genuine Republicans here
as a true disciple OF that faith, and they
claim that by it Sinclair expected to re-
tain the office OF collector of internal
revenue under Cleveland which he had
held for twelve years. Hence they are
not favorable to his candidacy for the
postoffice, preferring the appointment of
Col Stafford or Mrs Morris to the Office
if Col. Gary is ousted
Col. Stafford has heen pursuing a still
hunt for the office, and, it is asserted, is
strongly endorsed. He is a man who Is
universally popular, of excellent bust
ness ability and would make an admira-
BILE postmaster.
Mrs. Morris, who is sister of the re-
doubtable Tom Ochiltree, is a lady of
brilliant ability, perfectly competent to
discharge the duties OF the office and
will undoubtedly command the
support of her brother Tor
the place, who viii be aided in his efforts
in her behalf by a strong endorsement
from here in her favor The struggle for
the place is watched with great deal of

Special to the Gazette.
HOUSTON, TEX. Sept. I2.-The board
of directors of the Houston and Texas
Central railroad company met yesterday
and organized by the election of the fol-
lowing officers: Charles Dillingham; +,
president; z. W. Cave, treasurer;
Horace Hall, secretary. The property
of the Houston and Texas Central rail-
way company sold at foreclosure sale in
September. 1888, is still in the
hands of the receiver appointed
IN the equity suits at Galveston, and no
order has yet been made by the court for
the delivery of the property to the
purchaser. Several important inter-
ventions filed in the original suit are still
pending. 1t is thought that these inter-
ventions will be determined at the en-
suing November term of the United
States courts, which means that the road
will then be taken out of the receiver 8
hands. The name of the company is
also changed, it will be noticed, from
