Galveston. Texas. April 1.-THE great
est anxiety still exists here rs to the fate
OF the notary public lists sent in by Cow
ornor ssyers and which came up for con-
firmation last Friday before the senate at
Austin Nobody knows whether the OK
ecutivc committee won or lost: the mem-
beers themselves don't even know.
Several kilograms have gone to Senator
Linn and one or two have been received
from him. but the mystery is not yet
cleared up. No positive statement has
come from Austin as to whether any por-
tion OF the Galveston county notarial lis,
has been confirmed.
Evidence has come to the surface hcre
within the last day or two which would
indicate thar no action whatever was
taken on the notarial list from this coun-
ty II Is believed Senator Linn stood iirin
10 carry out the wishes of the executive
committee but that II brought on some
opposition and that action was postponed
The executive committee is very mucr
interested in this fight II wants TO win
II they lose this time the hght will be re
newed two years hence.

INDIAN HEAD GONE.
Historic Feature of the Pali-
sades Blown to Pieces.

New York. May 31.-Memoria1 day
was signa1led by the final destruction
of one of the most historic points on the
Palisades of the Hudson, known as In
dian Head.
A blast in which at least 10 900
pounds of dynamite were used was
fired off at the quarries of the Carpen-
ter Brothers, located at Coytosville,
near Fort Lee The blast brought down
about 100000 tons of rock. 1t was the
most successful effort ever made and
brought out of the palisades an area
surface of 20 feet frontage by 165 feet
deep.
The blast was made by using a tun-
mel about IS feet to the cliff and cross
ing a section of Indian Head. From
the tunnel two wells were sunk, one at
a distance of % feet and the other at a
distance of rs feet from the entrance.
Into the wells the dynamite was pack
ed. TWAS exploded by means of wires
connected with a battery at the top of
the mountain. The defamation was
scarcely heard by the persons present,
volume of smoke and a mass of dis
engaged rock falling toward the river
being the principal evidence of the
work. The sound was much more dis
tinctly heard at a distance Of half a
mile from the scene of the operations
Huge masses of rock were thrown to
the river road, some of them falling in
to the river. Blocks that lay IN the
roadway were three times the height of
a man and weighed many tons.
Indian Head, the point finally demo1-
ished yesterdays about 500 yards from
Washington point, at which General
Washington arrived after the defeat of
his forces in New York. The declivity
which he climbed still stands. Indian
Head a few years ago projected $50
feet into the North river beyond the
point at which the demolition COM
menced.
Major S. H. McClare of the palisade
commission, when asked what he had
to say about the blast, said:
Going a this rate it will not take
long to destroy all the beauty of the
palisades. After more concerns enter
into the business the rate of destruc-
ton will increase and the palisades will
be wiDed out
