Comptroller Eckles Talks.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. July g.
Comptroller Eckles states that the
information given out in his office
yesterday, that he had directed
Bank Examiner Wilson to take
charge of the First National bank

take. The name of the fail
ed bank was Albuquerque
New Mexico National Bank; five
national banks failed yesterday
and this morning. AS reported to
comptroller Eckles they were the
American National Bank of Pueb-
10, Colorado, Central National
Bank, Pueblo, Colorado, Puget
Sound National Bank of Everette,
Washington, National Bank of
Ashland; Ashland, Nebraska,
and the First National bank of
Winston, n. G. Comptroller Eckles
has directed Examiner Brown to
assume charge of the two above
named failed banks, at Pueblo {;

Why Not do LikewiseP

1t must be admitted that the
presentation of the opera "Pina-
fore" by the Austin Musical Union,
repeated last night at the West
End, was a most creditable one for
that organization and a pleasant
entertainment for our citizens. The
scenic efforts were good, but could
have been materiallysenhanced by
the rowing of Sir Joseph Porter and
his retinue from the shore to the
ship in sight of the audience, that
could easily have been done.
Nearly all the characters were eX-
cellently portrayed; though Mrs.
Brush's Josephine" was rather
weak, especially in her long solos,
otherwise she was excellent and
used her fine soprano" well. The
weakest character was Louis
Whites "Sir Joseph Porter X. c.
b." that is one of the main pivots
of the opera. In the first place his
costume has no resemblance what
ever to that of a British admiral,
then he does not enter into the
delicate humor and keen satire
that Gilbert intended, and his
voice is neither plant nor strong
enough for the part.
These are perhaps unavoidable
faults and may be readily forgiven
when we consider the general eX-
cellence of the company.
The delicious breeze and the
pleasant surroundings suggested to
many this idea. Why could not
other similar entertainments be
given on the lake and in the same
way during the summer? We
have all the local talent and a
Mimic Mimic Island, city or fortress
could be raised there as easily as
the ship. Many suitable comedy
drama or operetta could be select
ed for this that would please and
draw crowd of those who would
enjoy such cool and pleasant
midsummers night feast. The only
trouble would be the difficulty of
transporting the people, but, pos
sibly, after a little more censure
and more experience the street
car companies would be able to do
something more reasonable in that

Duke of York Married.

LONDON, July 6.-The, marriage
of the Duke of York prince George
of Wales), and Princess Victoria
Mary of Teck, an event for which
all England had been looking for
ward to with deep interest, took
place at 1890 o'clock today in the
chapel royal st. James palace.
The wedding was a brilliant af-
fair and was attended by a
large gathering of the men,
bers of the British royal family,
continental soverigns or their rep
preventative and many members
of the highest nobility. The
weather was beautiful and if there
is any truth in the old proverb
"Happy is the bride whom the
sun shines on" the new Duchess
of York will be exceedingly happy,
for a more splendid day has sell
dom been seen in London. The Oc-
casion was made one Of national
rejoicing and partial British hol-
iday,

The Mackey Base Ball club has
been organized and contemplate
trip to Austin. They will also
tackle the San Antonios and claim
they will put up an interesting
game. The Mackeys were strong
team several years ago, and the
games played with the Jokers in
'SS, which were for pure glory, were
probably the most interesting ever
witnessed in this city, with prob
ably the single exception of ascer-
tain game at the beginning of last
season, which is no doubt yet
fresh in the minds of the patrons
of the city.

PERTINENT POINTS.
Some Facts in Respect to Refuse
Fuel and Economic, Per-
feet Sanitation.

IecG 0anlGaIlOn.
That street sweepings, refuse and
other matter can be utilized as fuel
has been demonstrated in England
and, provided that a specially con-
structed stove and oven are used,
three tons of this new fuel is equal
to one ton of coal. Even the ashes
can be screened and used as fer
tiliser. So far has the practicable
ty of this been demonstrated that
the borough of Halifax is arrang-
ing to furnish motive power by
means.
The Importance of this invention
cannot be OVer-eStimated. 1t
means that all refuse, excrements,
ETC., can be completely annihilated
by burning, the best mode of sani-
tation, that even this action will
furnish power for electric lights,
water works, mills and factories,
and then the purified ashes can be
protitably utilized. What more it
may do in the hands Of science,
none can tell.
In Manchester and Stafford the
local matter, sewerage and other
refuse is collected periodically by
the city under an ordinance that
gives the council the power to tax
property owners their prO-rates of
expenses which is assessed as taxes
and so charged just as water and
gas is, also run by the city. When
this refuse is collected it is at once
taken to the huge crematory at
Stafford and there by incineration
is converted into a fine white odor-
less powder. This powder forms
one of the most potent and por-
table fertilizers, and finds ready
and profitable sale. Add to this
the new pOwer-giving fuel and in
such a locality the crematory must
prove a bonanza. -
When this crematOry, or what
we call garbage furnace, was first
proposed, a site was sought and
found in a piece Of land owned by
the city, in convenient and pop
ulous spot. When those in its V j.
entity heard that, howl of right
eous indication was sent up, aye,
even to the heavens. Petitions up
on petitions were sent into the
council, urging it to abandon its
resolution, to spare their families
the horrors Of the obnoxious etflu-
via and the dangers of pesti-
lence and suggesting that it could
be better located on the isolated
outskirts of the city. Property
owners kicked hard too because
said the action would depreciate
property. After due consideration,
the council built the crematOry on
the proposed site, and, strange to
say, there is less mal-odOr, and a
better state of health in that,
than in any other section of the
twin cities.
These facts are pregnant with
thought for those who are anxious
for the city of San Antonio to be
placed in the best sanitary condi-

They Are Married Now.

NEW YORK, July 6.-The World
says: at was rumored in theatre
cal circles last night that Julia
NARROW had married her leading
man, Mr.. Robert Taber. Both
sailed from New York, on the City
of Chester, June 22nd. A passenger
on the City of Chester, whose
veracity goes, in most instances, is
the author of the rumor. He al
leges that the ship had scarcely
gotten away from Sandy Hook be-
fore the passengers suspected
the couple of being married.
They was accepted as a fact, be-
fore the ship reached Cape Cod. 1t
has long been known that Miss
NARROW looked with favor upon
Mr.. Faber, and the story of the
marriage is generally believed.

LOG-RoLLING

Members, on Their Plans.

Members, on Thelr Plans.
NEW YORK, July 6.-COngress-
man Crisp, of Georgia, and Con-
gressmen Mcmillan, of Tennessee,
Clark of Missouri and Fellows OF
New York, We're together for two
or three hours at the Hoffman
House yesterday. Col. Phil.
Thompson of Kentucky, joined
the party, and all hands discussed
politics generally. They said
their talk was informal, and they
were not attempting to outline
of any policy to be followed on sill
yer or other legislation. When con-
gress meets Mr.. Mcmillan said Mr..
Crisp would undoubtedly be chosen
speaker. Without going into de-
tails, he said: 81 suppose that the
next congress will enact legislation
to restore confidence in financial
circles, will discuss tariff changes,
and will repeal the fed
eral election laws. John
Davenport's service will surely be
dispensed with. Mr.. Crisp started
for Washington, and it is said, he
intended to leave the capital for
Georgia, this morning, Mr.. Nc
MILAN had intended to go to Wash
ington with Crisp, but he went
down town, and delay on the cable
line, prevented him from reaching
the hotel in time to catch the train.
Mr.. w. MILAN said he was going
to Tennessee, to remain until the
beginning of the session. While
these congressman were in
the city, some Of the
friends Of Thomas Cookly,
who has been assistant doorkeeper
in the House, submitted his name
as candidate for the position of
chief dOOrkeeper, to succeed CX-
Congressman Turner. There was
some informal talk as to the
making up of committees. Nothing
more definite was reached than
the statement that the friends of
NJ. MILAN expect he would be
chairman of the committee on

R. c. Davy, of Louisiana,
was at the Hotel Marlborough.
The Board of Trade of New Or
leans has passed a memorial asking
all congressman from other states
to favor the repeal of the Sherman
act. He said other Boards of Trade
are following its example and
the sentiment of business men
seems to be generally in favor of
its repeal. / think the majority of
the delegation will vote to repeal
that portion of it, which COM
pels the purchase of $4,000
ounces of bullion month"
What substitute legislation will
they favor?
"They are committed on that
point. think they will vote to
repeal the Sherman act, without
putting a substitute into same
