Galveston. Texas. December 2e.--An i'm
portant suit was filed in the civil district
court today by the City of Galveston di-
rected against Kicker, Lee & Co., con-
tractors. The suit is an action Oh an Of
fetal bond and Joseph Levy. IL. Marwitx,
L. William English and X. b. Hawley are
made parties TO the case as suretits on the
official bond. This litigation grows out of
the oity's street paving contracts. The Pc
ution first shows that under the charter
the city has authority to contract for the
Improvement of the streets. and that, act
ing accordingly. the plaintiff on January
IL, 1898. entered into written contract
with Kicker. Lee \ Co. to pave thirty SIX
blocks of the public streets al Galveston.
Az the same time the defendants executed
bond TO the city in the sum OF $4,000
that they would keep said paving in le-
poir for a period Of ten years. unless the
damage should be occasioned by Hood or
fire.
The contract called for pine blocks. COW

lefldt 10 De uStd, IL was PUT GOWN all
right, but the city now claims that rains
and bad weather frequently causes the
payements 10 swell up The streets have
been rendered dangerous in consequence.
The city called upon the contractors to re-
pair such damaged places. but they re-
fused. and the city went ahead and ordered
the work done. This state of affairs has
been going on for more than n yearrE
city having paid out in the meapk1 ttle
sum of Sl050 for repairs.

Jim kept on firing, and finally, his patience
being exhausted: "J-J-Jin / c-c-can't
s-s-stand ii any l-l-longer. I'm so-g-going
to the r-r-r-r-r-r all the time moving down
the hill. Before he could pronounce the
word "rear" jim called him back and gave
him his gun. He got behind his stump and
was soon loading and firing as coolly rs "a
veteran, and continued 10 do so until the
enemy was reinforced and compelled our
little brigade 10 "skeda0de."
We had running fight" back to our
line-oi-battle, which had been formed in
front of the town, where we prepared for the
exrec ed attack by piling logs, rails, and
anything we coald fimd for temporary breast
works, our position being in swamp, where
the mud and water were ankle deep.
1t wasn't long before skirmishing began
all along tie line, and at p m. oar pickets
were driven In and we could see dark line
Of blue moving towards US. Raising a hur-
rah, they started at double-qucs, but one
volley broke their line, and they fell back in
confusion; in short time the same move
ment was repeated, and a second repulse
followed; the third time they rallied, hut
we poured such a storm Of shot and shell
into them that their ranks were broken, and
they fell back disheartened.
This ended the fight for the day, after
which we got picks and spades and went to

a man wanted to carry his pedigree through
several generations, it would be even Evan
apGriffith apDavid apJeDkin apHugh ap-
Morgan apOwen. Or sometimes the iatn-
ers name was taken in the possessive case
as Griffith Williams now written Williams.
Among the Gaelic inhabitants of Scotland
and Ireland Mac was used to signify descent.
Thus, MacLain Mas Master, MacFariand. o
was also used by the Irish in the same way,
resulting in O'Harra, OSulliyan, O'Neal.
Fitz is q corruption of the French word fills,
son, and was first given by Henry the First
to q natural son whom lady objected to
marrying because he had no surname, tina
name given being FitzRoy. Hence, we have
FitzPatrick, FitzAllen, FitzJames, and so
on.
Many original Christian names have be-
come surnames by adding son; as Adamson,
Jameson, Thompson, Johnson, and so on.
Adams is contractive of AdamsOn, and
Jones of johnson.
The general European system, whereby a
son inherits his fathers name, has its excep-
tions, the most notable being the present
royal family of England, which has never
adopted an Interchangeable surname. This is
true of other distinguished houses, rs those
OF SAKE, Nassau, Bourbon and Orleans.
The system of surnames WAS consolidated
in the 14th century by q decree of Henry
the V. requiring the name and description
of the party IN any writ or indenture to be
accurately act forth. Men took surnames
from the localities in which they lived
Thus we have Byfied, Underhill, Apologize,
Atwood Atwell, Field, Flood
Many names appearing in the Doomsday
Book of William the Conqueror, originated
in the occupation of the persons bearing
them for instance, William the Chamber
lain and Rudolph the Hunter, becoming
William Chamberlain and Rudolph Hunter.
Many Of our names come through the
Saxon chronicles. Thus, Baxter, or Bagster,
the feminine of Baker; Webster, the fem
mime of Weber or Weaver; Spencer, from
dispenator, or steward. Many names are
combined with ward, meaning keeper, as
Durward, dOor-keeper; Woodward, forest
keeper Hayward, keeper of the town cattle
Personal characteristics gave their names
to many people; as White, Black, Brown,
| Gray; and Read, Reed, Reid, all of which
are old spellings for red
Of the SO first names of men in general
use, 80 are taken from the Bible. To these
may be added proper names for women, also
such names as Prudence Faithful, Charity
Temperance, and so On, the Christian virtues.
Suppose, now, we take meMbers of the
Loyal Home Workers and trace their names.
Thus we have Seaman, q sea-faring man
Jansen, Scandinavian name synonymous
| with johnson; Keyser, corruption of the
German Kaiser, the same az Caesar Best,
the superlatiye of good; Rivers, a dweller
by the river Stockton, place where cat
tie are kept; Plummer, a gatherer of plums;
and so on.
Let the Loyal Home Workers follow up
this subject. They will find much pleasure
and much incidental information in so do

We marched all night and crossed the

bridges behind us, passed through Calhoun

repulsed, which was the only fighting OF the
day.

Our division being rsar-guard, we had our
hands full to day. Continually pressed by
the enemy, we often had to stop and check
them, then double-quick to overtake the
rest of the command, but our loss has been
very light considering the number OF tight
places we got into during the day.
At Adairsville we were halted, formed in
line-of- battle, and ordered to rest which we
very much needed. The Yanks attacked
Hardee's Corps, but were repnlsed. We are
victorious in every battle, but still we have
to retreat. There is no doubt that Sherman
has an army largely in excess Of ours, so
that he can place force equal to ours IN
our front and send 10000 or 10000 men
around one OF our TANKS, which compels us
TO retreat; hut we are not discouraged yet.
We hope, by forcing him to attack us
under disadvantages, as he has been doing
for some days, and driving him into the in
terror, farther from his base, that we can
eventually weaken him until we can risk a
general engagement

shelter behind trees, and a six hours battle

We were relieved early in the night and re-
