TEXAS THEATRICAL OUTLOOK.
TALK WITH HENRY GREENwALL.
WHO CONTROLS TEXAS BUSINESS.
Has Given UP the Grand nnd May
Make His Future Headauhr-
tiers at Houston.

Mr.. Henry Greenwail, who still controls
the theatrical situation in Texas, and who
UP to the present season. occupied sim
liar position In reference to the entire
South, was In the city yesterday and
chatted pleasantly with many of his old
friends here In reference to the theatrical
outlook.
When Mr.. Greenwall held the Grand
opera house at New Orleans he practically
held tho key to the theatrical situation in
the South But It was very expensive
luxury and cost Mr.. Greenwall about $780,
0O0 AT the end OF the present season he
gave up his lease OF the Grand opera house
and will likely devote his personal atten-
ton the coming season to his Texas In
terest
IF l should leave New Orleans, as is
likely" said Mr.. Greenwall to a Post rep
resentative. Il will make my future head
quarters either at Galveston or Houston,
more likely Houston, as | find move life
and progress here than in any other town
in Texas.
The theatrical outlook for the COM
Ing season is very encouraging. We al

up to date, as against seventy three, which
was the total booking last season. and be-
fore the season opens ] expect to have at
least ninety attractions for the Texas
circuit"
In addition to the Texas houses under
Mr.. Greenwall's personal management,
such as at Galveston, Houston Dallas and
Fort Worth, he runs an opera house at
Savannah, Ca. and does the booking for
san Antonio, Austin, Waco, Brennan,
Beaumont, Orange Marshall, Denson.
Sherman. Paris, Tyler Texarkana, shreve-
port and Lake Charles, La, Joplin and
Springfield Mo. Little Rock, Fort Smith,
Van Buren,, Pine Bluff, Helena and Hot
Springs. Ark.
Among the attractions the coming sea-
son. continued Mr. Greenwall will be
such old and popular favorites as Robson,
Crane. War1o, James, Hitter aud Hanford
Sol Smith Russell Charaton Morrison,
Roland Reed and the Blstonians
We have some cracker jacks among the
new attractions which will make their first
appearance in Texas next season. Among
these are the Turtle, Jack. the Bean Stalk,
one Of Klsw Erlanger's big attractions
the Colonial Girl, one Of the greatest New
YORK successes this season: the Gilmore
band, Evil Eye Thomas jefferson. son of
joe Jefferson, the Bride Elect and many
mere that l can not recall without refer
ence to my list
On the whole, the coming season will
be very successful one. Texans will get
practically all the attractions that come
South. OF course, there VIII be some
cheap shows among them, which can mot
be avoided; you must take them as they
come but there will be larger proportion
OF first-class attractions than during any
previous season.

WOUND UP IN A ROW.
The Emancipation Celebration Closes with
a Shooting Scrape.
TwO MEN WERE WOUNDED LAST NIGHT
a Double Set of Trustees j. Likely
10 Cause some Trouble In
the rutut..

The second days festivities OF the
Emancipation celebration we're carried out
as per scheduled programme with some
sensational features thrown in for good
measure.
Before the turmoil came c. n. Love, In
a neat speech, awarded the loving cup
donated by Messrs. Sweeney G. Fredericks
to the Sheridan Guards The various prizes
were awarded to the crack bicyclists, So
cleties and winners in the pony races.
The fireworks display was brilliant and
an appropriate finale to what has been
the most successful celebration held in
many years
The first trouble came about noon yes
terday, when, despite the fact that it had
been publicly announced that a meeting
would be held at 4 p. m. to elect trustees
Of the park for the coming year, the old
board OF trustees got together and re-
elected themselves. The opposition met
at o'clock as per announcement with
C. N. Love acting chairman, and elected
an entirely new set. Speeches were made
by j. S. Tibbitt, A. j. Wakefield, w. II.
Clark, e. K. Scott and others. At the
time excitement ran hlgh Inc lolloWlls
persons were elected at this meeting as
trustees for the ensuing year. j. A. Mat
thews. Sam Wilson, L. R. Scott H. NJ.
Freeman, Andy Parr, j. j. King aud
william Jones. Thus the Emancipation
park will have two sets of trustees until
perhaps the matter will finally be adjudi-
Gated in the courts.
Everything had gone on quite pleasantly
after this contest until about $3.50 o'clock
last night. when a war of words took place
between George Williams and an unknown
party, which resulted in Williams recelv-
ing a very dangerous shot in the left
breast Drs. S NJ. Lyons and F. L. Nc
David were called in to attend the wound
cd man. A true account of the shooting
was not obtainable last night
Julian Perry received flesh wound at
the same time. He was an eyewitness to
the shooting, but wasn't acquainted with
the one who did the shooting. Williams
was removed to a relatives house near
the Emancipation park and up to last ac-
counts his condition was regarded as dan
gerous.

To the Honorable Commissioners Court OF
Harris County.

Harris County:
Houston, Texas, June 15--Whilst as
sisting Mr.. Maxcy in his investigation OF
the paving of the second two miles of the
Atascoceta road on June s. 1899, finding
that by the methods employed by him
same would fall short OF the requirements
of the contract OF Messrs. Hipp & Key, and
In order to make more thorough and
complete investigation of the actual condi-
tion of the work in question, determined
20 use the level and rod and have trenches
cat the entire width OF the road. and take
ave elevations to each cross section instead
of three as adopted by Mr.. Maxcy, and use
ihe level, without which It is impossible
to procure reliable data.
On the day following, with A. Hebert
as rodman. and accompanied by force OF
workmen, trenches were cut at each point
tested ON the previous day by Mr. Mnxcy,
With two additional points; 1--we elevations
were taken at each cross section, Wig; two
on the left at equal distances. one I'm the
center and two on the right at equal dis
tances, The result OF this work is attached
TO this report, giving an average width of
10 6b2 feet instead OF 20 feet as called for
in the contract, shortage OF ,0174 per
cent. The depth originally called for was
10 inches, after a thorough and repeated
rolling. This work was begun in Feb
