NOTES FROM FLORESVILLE.
FLoREsvILLE, September 2, 1889.

FLoREsvILLE, September 2, 1889.
Floresville is quiet. kind and cor
dial. Strangers find it most pleas
ant place to visit. The merchants
and county officials are prompt, cour-
teous and efficient.
Some of the stores are doing a rush
ing business, though the general APP
pearance is mostly dull or under av-
erage just at present.
Mrs. Sutherland near the academy,
keeps neat and elegant boarding
house and is lady of unassuming
and pleasant manners. To prevent
mistake or disappointment to gentle
man strangers, it may not be amiss
to mention that her husband spends
much of his time at their stock ranch
in the country. But there are single
ladies of very marked attractions at
the house, whose acquaintance might

men of genuine moral worth and re.

BOOMING BEEVILLE.
BEEvILLE, Texas September 3rd

DEE LILLE, leAds oeplenlueT oIu'
1t seems that inquiries have been
made at other points concerning the
proposed new railway to run across
southwest Texas through Beeville.
The people everywhere are enthusi-
astic over the enterprise and at the
proper time practical aid can be ex-
pected from them. Whether or not
the present enterprise goes through
tits a settled fact that such a line is
necessity. 1t will drain vast re-
gion blessed with fertile soil,
healthy and bracing climate and
good seasons and can easily support
heavy population and afford paying
business from the start to new road.
Last night the heaviest rain for a
year fell here. 1t seems to have been
general. The farmers, however, have
kept their cotton we'll picked and the
damage done will amount to little.
The three gin houses of the county
have been kept busy.
The Beeville Dramatic and Gun
clubs, the two new amusement organ
izations, have arranged for regular
meetings. The members of the Gun
club especially anticipate fine time,
for the country around the city is
swarming with game. The crop of
quail has never been surpassed.

THERE is work before the committee
and before the citizens yet to be ac-
complished if the fair is to be held.
The fair stockholders agreed to hold
the fair conditionally. These con-
ditions are a subscription of SIS, 900, of
which $1,000 is to be Immediately de-
posted. Over s., 900 of that $4,000 is
yet unsubscribed, and matters wait
for that subscription. 1t is not true
that the fair will be held subscriptions
or no subscriptions. It is clear case
of put up the money or give up the
fair.

Houston is endeavoring to enlist
eastern capital in manufacturing

San Antonio could have had one mil
lion invested in cotton, wool, leather
and paper manufactures had her
home capitalists been willing to in
vlte eastern capital on the same terms
proposed by Houston.

THE London strike, the Cronin
murder trial and the examination of
Marshal NagIe for killing Terry have
attracted so much public attention
that the race troubles of the south
engage only local hearing. All the
same in Mississippi, Alabama and

concerted action against the Door
COlOred men has been determined up
on. There is no excuse, even in the
OK parte reports which reach the press,
for these Outrages and it leaves ground
for the opinion that the terrOrizing of

has been determined upon i'm order
that they may be made to voluntarily

OFFICES IN NEW YORK CITY.
Struggle for the Federal Appointments
There Occupying the Presidents Time.

The fight over the New York city offices is
now occupying much of the Presidents atten-
tion. There is still considerable pulling and
hauling. The Platt men are in the usual har-
mony with themselves, and that is all they con-
slider necessary to harmony. They don't take
into much account any but the Platt forces
They are confident that the appointment of
Erhardt, collector, and Van Cott, postmaster,
will be made before the President goes on his
trip on the bay. The appointments are rather
expected to-day. While it has been assumed
for some time now that Van Colts appointment
was assured, and it is still so held to be by his
friends, there is some talk Of an effort that is
being made to defeat his hopes, and to keep
Pearson in the New York post-otfice, for while
at least
The men who are supposed to be in control
of these New York matters give but little heed
to this matter. The hitch that is really troub-
ling them is over the surveyorship of the port.
Very strong influence has been exer-
cised in the interest of Mr.. Jacobus,
thought to be the first thing that an
agreement had been reached upon. But, ac-
cording to list drawn up by the vice-Presi-
dent, Mr.. Platt and Mr. Hiscock Mr. Jacobus
was replaced by MIR. Willis. This list, it is un-
derstood, named (besides Erhardt and Van
CotD MIR. J. U. Knapp, of Auburn. naval
officer, and Mr.. Willis for surveyor The fight
is by Mr.. Jacobus' friends against the selection
OF the latter. Jacobus is in the field with
strength and it is thought that that
appointment will hang fire some time. The
others, including Knapp, are expected at any
time

From Wall street To-Day.

New YORK, April 5.-The stock market
opened with a moderate volume of business
which was not so closely confined TO a few shares
usual OF late, still Atchison, Reading. Bur-
ington, and Missouri Pacific were leaders,
some days past. First prices, with but few ex-
ceptions, were from 10 g per cent higher
than last evenings figures, but the improve
ment was not maintained in the early trading
and everything retired small fractions, though
the losses were in no case for more than II per
cent. Jersey Central and Texas Pacific were
strong features and rose slightly, and among
the specialties Pittsburg and Western preferred
rose % per cent on very light trading. Later
in the hour the entire list rallied and prices
figures all around The rise continued till the
end of the hour, but there was no special
feature developed and at IL O'Clock the market
was fairly active and strong at small fractions
better than the opening prices.
