A BASE BALL ROW.
Secretary Nolan's Action About Thurs
days Meeting Raising Cain.

1t will be remembered that at the
last meeting of the directors of the
Texas Base Ball league at Galveston
it was decided that the last meeting of
the season, fixed for September 26,
should be held in this city. Secretary
Nolan, for some unexplainable reason,
has seen fit to ignore the action of the
directors, and Sunday announced on his
own authority that the meeting would
instead of here. The understanding all
along has been that the meeting should
be held here, and the directors of the
Austin team propose to have 1t here,
too. Yesterday Director Winning wired
all the league directors that the official
meeting had been arranged for this place
next Thursday and they were to come
here instead of going to Fort Worth.
He says that Mr.. Nolan had no authority
to change the meeting place after it
was once fixed by the directors meet
should and will be held here as originally
fixed. 1t is the general opinion here
among the fans that this is but another
scheme of Messrs. Nolan, Works, Sulli-
van and Ward to have n little meeting
all by their little lonesome, and
arrange next years league and
schedule in their own interest.
The other clubs are very tired of
being made ell in" for these gentlemen
to make Doodle out of, however, and it
is highly probable that the management
of next years league will be taken en-
tirely out of the hands of these gentle
men. 1t certainly should be done as
this leg-pulling of the entire Texas
league in the interest of two or three
men should cease thus early in the ac-
ton if we hope for good league next
year.

THE CASE DISMISSED.

Wilmington, N, c., Sept. 2S.-United
States Commissioner Buntin this after
noon dismissed the case against the de-
PENDANTS, captain and crew of the steam
er Commodore, which was detained here
on suspicion that she was carrying arms
to Cuba. The ship is still in libel and
will be held until the next term of the
United States district court in Novem-
Der. Possibly special hearing may be
provided, as Commissioner Buntin has no
jurisdiction in cases of libel.

THE PROSPECTIVE DUCHESS.
The Differences Between Mr.. and Mrs
Vanderbilt May be Patched up
Through Her.

New York, Sept. 23.-Chauncey NJ
Depew returned from Newport today,
where he is supposed to have been on a
mission of peace to patch up the differ
ences between Mrs. VIM. X. Vanderbilt
and her former husband in anticipation
of the approaching marriage of Miss
Consuelo Vanderbilt to the Duke of
Marlborough.
Mr.. Depew looked very happy, as
though he had accomplished the object
of his visit. Her dowry will of course
be a large one; $1O,OOO,OOO is the sum
generally mentioned. In addition to
the $1O,0O0,OO0 Miss Vanderbilt will have
$4,000 year, which sum goes with every
Vanderbilt girl for pin money.
Mr.. Vanderbilt called on his daughter
at the Marble house yesterday in the abb
sence of Mrs. Vanderbilt.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal condi-
ton hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars; free.

EXAMPLES FOR AUSTIN.
Showing How Other Towns Build and
Grow Rich on Cotton Mills

In the Manufacturers Record last
week particulars were given of the 49,
OOO-spindle mill to be built at Union
S. c., by the Union Manufacturing COM
pany as an addition to it's present plant.
A correspondent of the News and
Courier, in giving history of this COM
pany, says:
"The Union has run year, paid a
dividend, liquidated a big portion of it's
Indebtedness, and it is reported that the
stock is worth $125 now.
"The stock of the mill was 100000;
the company borrowed $150,00O in order
to make $250,00O mill. A portion of
the balance will probable be paid this
season. When this is done the stock will
be worth $166 2-3. This is splendid
showing for q 10000 spindle mill. In
the meantime, citizens, seeing what was
being accomplished, determined to in
crease the plant; the books of stock were
again opened, and the stock was rapidly
taken for the addition of 46,000-spin-
die mill, and the management has gone
to work on the new mill with the same
push and energy that characterized the
former movement, and before long the
hum of 10000 more spindles will be
heard. This will bring to Union an adj
ditional population of 1900 to 1000. AL
ready the vacant stOrehouses are being
rented and merchants are moving in
and opening their goods"
What Union has done other towns can
do if they will show the same degree
of activity and energy. A mill running
nearly 10000 spindles, as this one will
do, means wonderful addition to the
business and prosperity of a town.
Twenty years ago the Piedmont Man
ital of 100000 and the water power of
the Saluda river. 1t now has capital
of 100000, three mills with $4,000 spin
dies and surplus of 100000, with which
it is building another mill of 10000
spindles, having paid all these years 10
per cent dividend annually on the stock,
and the stock is now worth $1.30 on the
dollar and can not be purchased at that
figure, for it is not on the market. When
the water is low the mills are run by
steam. 1t employs HOO operatives, and
their pay roll is about SIG, 900 per month.
The output is $1,000 years Of cotton per
day. About one-third of the produce of
these mills is shipped to China, and
much of it to other foreign countries.

POSTAL REPORT.

Washington. Sept. 23.-The annual re-

Der of postoffices in operation in the
United States June 30 1895. was
70,604 During the year 2422 postofhces

TRIED TO SCUTTLE HER,
Another Dastardly Outrage on
the Whaler Gayhead at
Honolulu.
Narrow Escape of the Vessel-The
American Ship Harry
Morse Safe.

The Pacific Mail steamer Peru arrived
in port yesterday morning from China and
Japan by way of Honolulu. The steamer
was due last Friday, and her delay was
due to the head winds and rough weather
between Yokohama and Honolulu.
From the latter place the Peru brought
news of dastardly attempt to sink the
whaling bark Gayhead. This was the Sec
ond attempt made to destroy the vessel,
the last steamer from the islands bringing
intelligence of her having been set afire by
incendaries. This time an attempt was
made to scuttle her, and that she
was not sent to the bottom is little
short of a miracle. Three of the
Gayhead s crew were imprisoned for arson,
but as the evidence against them was very
slight they were given the alternative OF
going to jail or to sea in their vessel. They
preferred Imprisonment, and the Gayhead
sailed away on a short cruise in charge OF
the mate, Captain Shorey remaining ashore
to prosecute the men.
The Gayhead was only out a short time
when a fierce gale was encountered and
she began to leak badly. An examination
disclosedsthe fact that there was three feet
of water in her hold, and upon investiga-
ton it was found that five auger holes had
been bored in the starboard biIge, near the
bow. The mate attempted to run back to
port, but the gale drove him out to sea.
The holes were covered, and the men were
kept at the pumps day and night. Nine
days of anxiety and suspense were en-
dured when port was finally reached again.
Captain Shorey's indignation knew nc
bounds when he heard of the dastardly
outrage, and he charged the imprisoned
men with the crime. He was at loss for a
motive for the cowardly work, but insisted
that the men in Jail had refused to go to
sea in the Gayhead because they knew that
the holes had been bored.
Hunted States Consul-General Mills re-
leased the man despite the captains pro-
test, and the captain made vigorous COM
plant against the action of the Consul in
the Honolulu papers,
The Peru left 1000 tons of cargo at Homo
lulu and landed 700 Japs and Chinese
there On the night before she sailed the
American ship Harry Morse arrived from
Sydney. The vessel was in command OF
Captain Merriman, whose home is in this
city and who had with him his wife and
two children. The Morse was out 101 days
and had been given up for lost.
The Coptic is due from the Orient on
Friday. She has taken the place of the
Oceanic, which has been sent to England
for extensive repairs. The Coptic is in
command of Captain Lindsay, who was
last out here in the old Gaelic. He was at
one time in the English navy and flies the
flag Of the royal naval reserve.
