a Masniacent Gin rlnnt.

Wharton, Texas November o,--Thefe Is
now in process of construction and near
ing completion a monster gin plant in
Wharton. which, when finally equipped,
will be far the largest on Che coast OF
Texas. 1t viii be remembered that about
six weeks ago the Sorrei Bros lost their
new gin house and machinery by tire. also
seed house. cotton on hand, etc. Nothing
daunted, they set TO work TO replace the
buildings and machinery. A bid was ac-
cepted and heavy force of hands vent
TO work. The main gin building is now
complete, 3sxso feet. brick foundation, built
OF corrugated iron. There viii be two
batteries. Each battery consists OF four
gin stands and revolving platform press,
each press having capacity of nifty bales
per day. One set Will be huller gins. Ad-
iacent il the storage house, capacity thirty
bales seed cotton. The latest and most
Improved loading machinery, where two
wagons can be delivered at once, will be
nut in. Both huller and ordinary gins have
condensers. The seed house will be 24xso
feet. All building rooms win be lighted
by electricity. the dynamo furnishing
thirty lights, sixteen candle power each.
The mere cost of machinery alone for the
gin house foots up away into the thous-
ards.

THE FISHING INDUSTRY.

Meesrs. Mum & Co., who are conducting
the red snapper fishing business at this
port have made another addition to their
fleet. the schooner Dauntless arriving from
Gloucester, Mass, this morning by way
of the gulf fishing grounds The new
vessel, which has Just been launched. is a
typical fishing craft, long heelcd with a
clean run and clipper bow, just such a
craft as could weather the heaviest gales
that blow across the banks of Newfound-
land.
The fishing business Is assuming large
proportions In Galveston, and the fleet Of
Mum X Co. now consists OF the schoon-
ers Helen, Dorothy and Dauntlese, with the
Estella, which is not now In service,
Nest of the fishing Is done on the Cam
peachy banks, some 500 miles to the south
ward OF Galveston, as the fish on the in
shore banks are somewhat erratic in char
acter and do not always respond TO the ef-
forts OF the fishermen to entiap them and
leave the banks for days at time. After
supplying the local market the fish are
shipped to the interior OF Texas 10 Kansas
City, st. Louis and as far north AIS Chi
cago. The smacks are plentifully supplied
with ice and the fish are placed on cold
storage as fast as taken from the water
The vessels are operated on shares. the
smack getting n certain portion OF the re-
ceipts. The cost of the food consumed on
each trip is then deducted, and the re-
nainder Is shared between the men. 1t
Will thus be seen that the more fish that
are caught, the more money there will be
to divide.
The business is daily growing, and In
time will assume large proportions, as
there Is no reason why the West should
not receive the greater part of It's salt
water fish through this port.

Galveston, Texas. November lo.--There
rs further trouble ahead for the Galveston
city street railway. which recently went
iEto the hands OF receiver, Major r..
b, Baer of Houston being In charge.
To-Day In the United States dis-
trict court yoluniinous petition was aied,
II being the Intervention OF the city OF
Galveston. The petition sets forth that
the said street railway company Is in ar
rears for ad yalorem and school taxes for
the years 1895. 1896 and 1897 10 the amount
OF $l1,S5o,SS 1t is further represented
and shown that the city council OF Calves
ton has the right to grade and improve the
streets OF the city. after first having cstl-
mates Of the cost OF same submitted to it
by the city engineer. In case street rail-
way operates a line OF road along such
streets as are graded and improved, II shall
pay one-third OF the cost of such work
and the abutting property owners the re-
mainder. In 1893 many of the streets OF
Galveston were paved and otherwise i'm
proved. and the city in It's petition filed
today alleges that the said street railway
company is delinquent for It's share of the
work, amounting 10 a total of S5l. 5iS.i5.
Therefore the city asks Judgment against
the Galveston city street railway COM
pany for s4s,s9s.9S and prays for an order
OF court to sell the property OF the road.
The city maintains that these claims are
a prior lien TO all others. An attempt will
be made to secure an early trial.
