DEEP WATER ASSURED.
Fifteen and a Half Feet of
Water Already Secured.
San Antonio Express.

San Antonio Express.
James C. Fulton came up
from Rockport yesterday OF
his way to st. Louis on q
business trip. From st. Louis
he will go to the Topeka deep
water convention rs delegate
from Southwest Texas.
Mr.. Fulton said the harbor
work at Aransas Pas was pro-
crossing splendidly and that
the results SO far were very
satisfactory and more hattering
than had been anticipated. He
said the engineers report for
Monday showed that at the
shallowest place at low tide
there was Il depth of Is ID feet
of water on the crest Of the bar,
which is a gain since the work
began Of from 4 to 6 feet.
Mr.. Fulton said that Chief
Engineer Jenkins. who is in
charge of the work is much
pleased and says it shows all
the theories of the engineers
to have been correct and that
he believes the depth over the
bar will continue to increase
daily. He also believes that if
at the time Of the late storm
the foundation work had been
as far advanced as it is now the
depth over the bar would now
be fully twenty feet.
The people down on the
coast, Mr.. Fulton, says, are
.jubilant over the outlook for
permanent deep water.

An Ellis county farmer says:
l have been living in Texas for
twenty years and in this time 1
have bought but s. worth of
meat. I have fifty head Of
hogs on hand now, twenty-five
of which are thoroughbred Po-
land Chinas, and l can sell
them at $50 pair as fast as
they get big enough to take
away" He might have added
that the farmer who buys u

of lard is not Il business man,
and can not make Il success. IL
will be some years before the
farmers of Texas get in shape
to quite the foolish practice of
buying what they can raise at

Great is the Office of Comp

conclusion that the Dockery

makes the Comptroller's au-

ters involving the payment of
money from the United States

Nobody seems to know just
what is going to be done about
the sugar bounty. Secretary
Carlisle notified Senator
Henderson, the counsel for the
beet sugar men, that he would
hear his arguments against
certifying the case to the Court
of Claims, any time after the
twentieth of this month. Since
that time nothing has been
heard from Mr.. Henderson. Re
gardless of any argument that
may be presented it Is not
thought likely that Secretary
Carlisle will send the case to
the Court Of Claims against the
wishes of the claimant. 1t has
been stated that he might over
rule or reverse the decision of
Controller Bowler. but that is
something that he had no au-
thority TO do.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Capital City.
Regular Correspondence of The HERALD.

Washington, ID. c., Sept. %.
1S95.-The sensationalists are
at it again, and with about as
much foundation for their stor
les as usual. On Saturday Sec
rotary Carlisle went to Marion,
Mass, where he spent several
weeks early in the summer. He
didn't tell the newspaper why
he went. Marion is known to
be in the vicinity of Gray Ga
bIes. That was enough for the
vendors Of cheap sensations.
The wires were kept hot with
stories of Secretary Carlisle
having been sent for. by Presi
dent Cleveland and all the de-
tails Of why and what he has
wanted for were telegraphed off
with no better foundation than
a lively Imagination. 1t is al
together probable that Secre-
tary Carlisle went away to es-
cape the haet, which has been
terrific in Washington since
the middle of last week; also,
that he will combine business
with comfort and see the pres
ident before he returns.
1t will be a long time before
Secretary Lamont hears the last
Of his not attending the Chick
amaugua celebration. He was
down for a speech, but instead
of going to Tennessee he went
to Maine, to bring Mrs. Lamont

his friends jokingly tell him
that he would have attended
the celebration if they had not
put him down for a speech.
The one thing that he can't do
is to make a speech.

The Fancher family has been par
ticularly unfortunate one. Aside from
the illness of Miss Fancher it has had
many afflictions. Her brother jim,
whom she thought so much of, was in
jured by train two years ago. The ac-
cident resulted in his death. Mr..
Fancher, who married again after the
death OF Mollie's mother, went to the
funeral. On his return to his home in
Providence he found his son, by the
second wife, dead. The boy had been
killed while his father was away
Miss Fancher is now quite alone as
far as kin-people are concerned. Her
father, mother, aunt and brother are
dead.

FISH AND GAME ASSOCIATION.
Annual Meeting to be Held at Augusta
Today.
Especial to the PRESS. J

Augusta. December 3l.-The annual meet
ing of the Maine Sportsmens Fish and
Game association viii be- held at the rooms
of the judiciary committee, State House.
tomorI ow afternoon at two O'Clock. The
directors will meet at the same time. I'M
portant matters will come before the asso-
citation.
Among the matters that will be consid-
cred before this important meeting will
be whether OF not sportsmen shall be al
lowed to send the head of any big game to
a licensed taxidermist for mounting with
out going with it, as is the law at the pres
emit time requires. = t. }i
Generally speaking, he chief object Of the
hunter is the trophy, and good opinion has
been expressed that it will be perfectly
justifiable and in accordance with good rea-
son TO allow the sportsman TO send the
deer head 10 the embalmer, rather than in
convenience him by travelling several
miles.
One reason advanced in favor of estab-
fishing this recommend alton is that BUCKS
will DO shot rather than does, on account
of the heads.
More than one of the wealthy sport smen
who have come into Maine the past fall
have paid fines for the violation of the fish
and game laws.
The meeting tomorrow afternoon will be
full of fish and game.

Attempted Murder at Jay.

Jay, December 81 The residence of
Mr.. Irwin Thompson, situated in Jay,
was the scene of an attempted murder
on Saturday. When Mr.. Fred Walton
entered the barn about 5 p. M, to do
his usual chores, he found man there
whom he ordered out. Supposlng that he
h ad gone. Mr.. Walton continued with his
work. After he had gone to the house
and returned again to the barn, he was
attacked by the man, stabbed and
knocked senseless to the floor. The
knife pierced his heavy clothing and
made slight cut in his body. Had it
not been for his heavy clothing the knife
would have penetrated his abdomen. The
would be murderer escaped and search is
being made by Deputy Sheriff Allen
and Constable Farnum. Three strange
men were seen at the village of Jay,
and it is thought that they may be the
suspects.

HAvERHiLL is GLOOMY.
But One Shoe Factory Will Continue
Manufacturers Refuse to Arbltrate anu
Are Not Trying to Secure Help.

Hayerhill, Mass, December 31.-Not sine
the morning after the great fire in Eebru-
a1y, 1852, has such gloomy feeling perYad-
ed The city as today. The great industry OF
the city has received a severe check.
Chick Brothers have decided TO let the re-
naming portion of their $50 eployes go as
fast as their jobs are finished and close the
factory for the present without trying TO
secure new help. The strikers are from
each loom in the factory, SO that work
could not be continued as the rooms were
broken up. Their pay roll has been about
S6OO0 per wees. Only one more large rae
tory is left and that is that of J.H. Winch :
ell & Co., but this firm is one of the most
liberal in the city and pays fair prices ana
Las no contract labor. 1t is expected this
factory will not be struck. Their pay roll
for Ia Dor is about $1,000 per week. Inc
manufacturers do moi feel inclined to ar
bitrate as they say that they took orders at
low prices and cannot afford to pay more
for labor until these goods are made up.
Every body IS ask ing what the end Will be.
