JOINT SESSION
OF COMMITTEE
AND TRUSTEES
FIRST MEETING RESULTED IN IN.
ITIAL STEPS TOWARD SETTLE
MENT OF CLAIM OF THE BRICK
PAVING COMPANY.

Yesterday afternoon at 4:30 O'Clock,
the councils committee, which consist
ed of Aldermen Concannon and Rem
shaw and Engineer Thornton, met the
board of bond trustees, the acting city
attorney and Mr.. Crany, representing
the brick paving company, in the office
of the chairman, Mr.. Bushnell, and the
matter of effecting a settlement for
the work and the delay in the work,
was one of the principal events of the
meeting.
The bond trustees entered into a
discussion of the defective sewer on
DeVilliers street with the other gen.
tlemen, and evinced much interest in
everything that was said. Mr.. Craney,
the brick paving company's representa-
tive, would not commit himself on any
proposition. but promised to lay the
matter before his company's officers
just as soon as possible. In the abb
sence of the officers, he could not
speak with authority in the matter OF
settlement, nor would he advance any
thing in the manner of suggestion rel
ative to the settlement question with
his company. He said. however, that
he would lay the entire matter before
the officers and the gentlemen present
then gave him an idea Of what they
desired laid before the headquarters of
the paving company. This is the sub
stance of a letter which he will pre-
sent:
The city, through the board or
works, will proceed to relay the de-
fective portion of the sewer in ques-
ton, and the work thus far done by
the paving company would be paid for
at cost of same. When the sewer is
finished, the city promises to place the
street again in as good condition as it
was when work was interrupted. After
this is done, the question OF demurrage
will be taken into consideration and
then the paving will be resumed. If
the sewer is not laid in time to per-
NIT the completion of the brick paving
within the contract time, as held and
governed by the contract with the
board OF bond trustees. then also the
demurrage question will figure. The
city will rot take over the material on
hand now, as it will all be used when
the street is finally paved. The meet
ing, in fact, did not reach anything de-
cisive, and another one will be held
when the paving headquarters are
heard from. The committee will then
report to the council.

IN LINE WITH ACTION OF coUN
GIL REGARDING SEWER,

At a special MONDAY meeting of the
board of works, which was held yester-

were present, instructions were issued
to the city engineer to proceed as soon
as possible with the work of reIaying
the sewer on DeVilliers street, or that
part of it between Chase and Intenden-
cia streets. One and one-half blocks
of that portion of DeVilliers street are

city and paid for, according to the
charges made out by the paving com.
pany.
The meeting of the board was for
the especial purpose of acting upon
the communication from the city coun.
ell. This was the resolution intro.
duced by Alderman Renshaw, after the
sewer discussion had been prolonged
at the last regular meeting of the
council. The resolution was conveyed
to the board by the clerk, who also
attended the meeting and from pros.
poets at present, the work will pro-
coed at once.

PELICAN AND
BULLDOG FIGHT
UNUSUAL ENCOUNTER WITNESS
ED AT NAVY YARD WHEN MAS
COT OF CRUISER MONTGOMERY
ATTACKED WOUNDED BIRD.

A large pelican. with q broken wing
has been adopted as the second mas
cot aboard the cruiser MONTGOMERY
but it was not the efforts of sailors
which brought mascot No. 2 aboard
The bird was caught by bulldog from
the cruiser, and only after a fight
which lasted several minutes. which
was witnessed off the navy yard.
1t was told by sailors yesterday that
the dog was frisking about on deck
until it's attention was attracted by a
pelican which idly tapped its huge
wings and which was striving to rise
from the water, few yards in the
stream. The dogs attention was rivet-
ed for a few moments upon the
struggling bird and then, before any
one could prevent, the animal was IN
the water and swimming toward the
bird. The latter recognized the on.
coming swimmer as foe worthy OF
his steel, and prepared to meet that
foe with an attack that was worthy OF
many an ADLER fighter. BY lodging and
the free use of the big beak. the dog
was held at bay for while, but after
maneuyering about, came up behind
the pelican and made a grab at the
back. Getting such a hold, the dog
swan ashore with an intended meal,
but sailors met the animal and wrested
the bird from its mouth. A few mo-
ments afterWard the weakened bird
revived and made another attempt to
get at the pup. The latter was lust
as anxious to get the bird.
1t was found that one wing of the
pelican had been broken in some man.
ner, probably by a shot. 1t was fed
and cared for, and an attempt will be
made to get the bird in healthy state,
and it will be kept aboardship. Per-
sons who witnessed the encounter said
the bird kept off the dog for some
minutes. and had it not have been han
dicapped by the game wing, it would
have made a better fight.

Last Nights Play.

THE Thief" Henry Bernstein's re-
markably and strainingly emotional
drama, was presented at the opera
house last night to an audience of av-
erage size. Miss Effie Shannon play
ed the part of Marie Louise Voisin-
the thief-and it is hard to conceive
of more perfect portrayal of wretch
edness than she presented in the part
of the conscience-stricken woman.
She kept her audience constantly on
edge.
Herbert Kelley took the part of
Richard Voisin, husband of the thief,
and he, too, gave a most excellent ex-
ample of emotional acting.
There are only seven persons in the
cast and to the ordinary observer
there is hardly room for Improvement
in the entire personnel.
The play is without doubt of un-
usual merit, in fact, almost master
piece in emotionaiism.a but to the av-
erage theatre-goer Is almost too
straining. 1t keeps the senses on
high pitch at all times and leaves
one at the end with an extremely
tired feeling Do a hard days work,
imagine you've been to the theatre

primaries has convinced the ants that
they can defeat prohibition by d ma
jority of from $4,000 to 25O.0O The
vote in the Democratic primaries,
when all are counted. will reach over
325, 900 votes. OF that number the
ants declare that more than 100000
were anti votes. COlQuitt's vote will
be over $4,000 and DaviGSOns over
$4,000. They calculate that no prohi-
bitionists voted for either. This would
give the ants from these two sources
alone 10000. They also calculate that
not less than 10000 Bailey-antis votes
for PoindeXter, bringing the total well
up to 100000 That submission car
ried is not taken into calculation II
is well known fact that many ants
voted for submission believing that it
was the best way to dispose of the
question once for all and stop agita-
ton.
With nearly 400. 900 votes. which did
not come into the primaries. which
the ants claim are nearly all against
prohibition. they seem now willing to
test the matter at the polls with the
prohibitionists. The ants have held
back on account of the vast expense
a prohibition election would entail,
but they have come to the conclusion
that it will be cheaper to fight the
matter out once for all.
ProhibftfOnists Have Majority.
Another thing that induces the ants
to look favorably on a constitutional
convention is the fact that there is no
longer any doubt that the prohibition
lists have two-thirds in the coming
legislature and can submit the mat
ter If it is desired.
That governor Campbell originally
intended to submit some very drastic
measures for the regulation of the
saloons there is no doubt. He will
probably not do so now. The gov
ernor does not court defeat. He has
senatorial ambitions and for the legis-
lature to repudiate him as the people
have, would only add TO his humilia-
tions and destroy forever any hope
that he might have of becoming
States senator Bailey two years from
now.
Senate May Confirm Hawkins.
There is also every indication that
the senate would confirm commission
er of insurance Hawkins. despite gov
ernor Campbelrs desires, but for the
fact that senator Hudspeth, of FL PasO,
and senator Brachfield are opposing it.
Their influence and not that of COVER
nor Campbell will result in the COM
missioner being Inundated by not be-
ing confirmed.
Insurance Repeal Not n Victory.
That the insurance law is repealed
cannot be in any manner construed
as a Campbell victory. This will re-
suit from the demand of the people
and not on account of gubernatorial
influence. The fact that a bill for
which he is sponsor cost the citizens
of Texas many thousands of dollars
to get off the statute books certainly
cannot be a source of consolation or
gratificatio to the governor.
Unless the temper of the present
legislature changes it looks very much
as If the very special session which
the governor convened to boost his
political ambitions will be the means
of eliminating him forever from any
hope Of being a leader Of the Democ-
racy Of this state.
