TUESDAY. OCTOBER 3. 1893, THE GREAT EXCURSION. Scaly T.ili; about a. nine day's wonder--that Katy excursion-to Gnlveston lust Sunday was just thut.

Fully 10.000 people' were hauled to Qalveston by the Missouri, Kansas and Texan road, while the other roiids contributed 4000 or 5000 In addition. A lurce number went from Sealy und nil enjoyed Om trlji. Of course most of the trains were crowded and mitny iinci to stand up going and cum Ing and submit ullier ilUcuiufoi-U while hi the city, altogether the crowd wus Rood naturcd and Jiad plenty of fun. Cheap fares may al- tvuya be depended upon to catch excursions, and when Gnlveston invites the rotidn of Texua to send her some folks to pee the sights next time she hml better lay In plenty of grub and blankets. Houston Press: The Katy has worked Iho grandest excursion to Qalveston that evrr gotten up, anil now some of the other roartn may follow suit.

It is not polng to hurt south Texas to have the railroads take A hand in building; her domain. fThe rallronds In the northwest have nil tlouo so. and If the Texas railroarlH will be Kiilded by their example the country lying between Houston and Galveaton will bloom EM a great pa-adlse, and fence Join fence in lut a very short period of time. Jacksonville Banner: Sunday last Gal- K'estcm was visited by from 11,000 to 12,000 txuurslonisls, many of whom remained over Monday. Very low rates were made the International and Great Northern, fciiasouri, Kansas and Texas and Santa Ke j-'oitds, and the excursionists came from all over east, north nnd central Texas.

They well entertained by the citizens of the Island city. I-ockhart Populist: A fair estimate of the number of visitors in Galveston last Sunday would he between fifteen and eighteen thousand. SILVER WEDDING. Rev. and Mrs.

PETITIONS. The following petitions were received and read: John Tolex, as follows: Galveston, Oct. To the Mayor and City Council-- Gentlemen: In view of the fact that a year ago In August a petition was made to the city council by about 100 holders of East End property to extend the Sixth street jetty to the third bar, which was graciously received and acted upon, that is, referred to the board of public works for a report, which report we have never seen; also the fact that at the voting of the property holders in July upon the question of bonds to save the East End, a majority of the votes of the whole city, mainly West pronounced in favor of relegating the East End to the tender mercies of old Neptune; also In view of the facts covered by my communication to the Evening Tribune, September 6, calling attention to the terrible erosion and rapid encroachment constantly going on, especially between Sixth and Ninth streets, where the banks have been cut down three feet and forty feet back within a few weeks, and which I had hoped might impress some members of your honorable body sufficiently to cause a visit of inspect but so far I have only seen two members, and they were East Enders. Now, it does seem to me, as likewise to many in the Twelfth ward, which voted solid in favor of the appropriation, as well as to many in the Eleventh and Tenth wards, which border on the gulf, that the city fathers would not only bo doing thumsulves credit, but be fulfilling a sacred duty and a public trust, by making a visit to the aforesaid seen? of devastation, even at the expense uf one hour's valuable time and car fare. This limy seem a heavy load tu carry, but considering the exigency of the situation, I will agree to pay car fare and "set 'em up" btHides.

Now, gentlemen, something must be done, und 'lone quickly, for It IH race between the sand and the sea, or, as Mr. Bullln- ger would say, "Galveston versus Gulf." Another thing Is ao sure as fate, or any self evident proposition, 1. that if the gulf Its inroads as at present the time Is not far distant when there will be no avenues or eajjt of Seventeenth Btroct, und the worst of It is that instead of an expenditure at once of say $10,000, the city will be compelled In a- short time, for self preservation, to: expend ten times that amount or more, and all will have to bear the burden. So come OJid see and don't delay. Respectfully submitted, JOHN TOLEX.

We Mill five months before the next budget will be I eurnfKtly ask that proper steps be taken to relk-ve us of the absolute danger a a our city unless an appropriation of $5000 or JSOOO In made to meet present emergency.

Very respectfully, W. C. FISHER, M. Health Physician and Sec. Board of Health.

A resolution was offorod by Alderman Levy on the above communication as follows: Resolved, by the common council of the city of Oulveston a an emergency exists and In order to guard the city against the possibility of danger of disease through negligence of proper and precautionary sanitary measures tho sum of $5000 be r.nd Is hereby appropriated out of the special reuurve fund to the uses of the health department. Alderman Jackaon said that an emergency also exleted at the east end where (he property of Ihe oltlzt'ns was nhnut to he swept into tho gulf- and he moved to postpone Alderman resolution until the adjourned meeting called to act on the rt'vwrl uf I ha beauli currimlU.ee on thti east rnd prosSon, Alderman Jnques said he knew that the emergency did exlut he hai reaaons for voting f'r the appropriation which he would explain In private but did not cure- to i In public. Aldermnn In Riipport of hlr roso- 1m Inn Faid had exist ntnct- 1, and It was urgent that monc-y In' appropriated. A a Webber snld hr would like to know what Aldorman 1 1 private reasons were; the nlJormcn were here to transact public businepR And appro- Brifita cublla moaay. and tbar ibould not do thU for private and vttMplalfttd rations.

Alderman said he had had conference with the chalrmutt of tho hospital and health committed, who had requested him not to state hja for uupport- liiff the resolution publicly, he did not deem It prudent that those should out broadcast over state, and he had pledged tho chairman that ho would not state them in public. Alderman Boysou said he would ask the auditor how much money there on hand to meet this appropriation if It was ordered. Auditor Gros itated that was $7500 in the ypcclul reserve fund. Alderman Boysen resumed and said that the reports might show that, but the bank didn't say so, and the city had no money for this work. Alderman Harris read from the charter the article providing for the creation of the special reserve fund of $25,000.

He was wtlllnr rn vnt? for anvthinar not In tldn of the charter torkeeb the city in the sanitary condition It Is, In now. but be could not vote to violate the charter. Alderman Grneturnacher said there was an emergency now and the health of the city demanded that something be done. Alderman Werner said that the question of emergency had already been settlsd and It had been decided that there was an emergency some time afif, when twelve additional drays were put on and the board of health now comes and aake it shall continue' tho employment of this force a month longer. The board has done- well, and If the appropriation Is not made then tt will have to dispense with the extra drays and a number of the regular drays, leaving about enough to clean Market street and let the rat of the city go.

Alderman Jackson said the argument hud tit-ne out uf the range uC hiu motion and he would again urge a postponement of this matter to the adjourned meeting. Alderman Wegner said it was the understanding at the board of health meeting Saturday that if this appropriation could not be secured then the drays would have to be discharged and the force cut down by Wednesday. Alderman Jackson moved then that the matter be postponed to the meeting to be held on Wednesday afternoon, Boysen said he would second the motion of Alderman Jackson, as he had learned from the auditor that there was the sum of $7500 available, in cil reserve fund. the spe- Alderman Harris moved to amend by referring: It to the committee on finance and revenue to investigate and report on Wednesday, if there was not some other source from'which funds could be drawn. Alderman Jackson he could not see the use of referring It to the finance committee.

That the question of an unforeseen emergency confronted the city was one for the council itself to decide. Alderman Harris made some further explanation of his position find Alderman Jackson accepted that gentleman's amendment. A vote was taken and the matter of an appropriation of J5000 for 'the board of health was laid over until Wednesday afternoon.

Finance and revenue, on Alderman Harris' resolution to put Broadway In good passable condition from the western tcrml- of Mud bridge to the western boundary of the city, reporting as follows: "On February 6, 1893, the city council approved a contract with Gus McLean for 30,500 yards of aond in accordance with section 132c of the chaffer, costing By resolution January 1C, 1893, the council designated and directed this wand should be used. As section 132c of the charter prohibits the expenditure of mare Hutu fciO.uuO in year we are constrained to report that this resolution should not The report Is signed by James Spillane and Ben Levy. Alderman Harris said that the McLean contract wiia made In the last fiscal year and the report of the committee did not apply- to the resolution at all.

The report of the committee was adopted. The, same committee reported back the ordinance of Alderman Harris providing for making the waterworks bonds payable in gold with the opinion of City Attorney Balllngcr'as to the legality of such action. In the following words: City Attorney's Office, Galveston, Oct. the Committee on finance and Revenue of the Galveston City CouncilGentlemen: 1 beg herewith to return to you the ordinance proposed as amendatory of the ordinance providing for the issuance of the per cent forty year limited debt bonds of IS91, authorized by the amendment of 1891 to the city charter. I beg to advise tlmt, In my opinion, under the act of the legislature authorizing the city to issue this series of bonds, the council has no authority to make said bonds and the coupons thereto attached payable In gold.

There Is no Inherent power In 1 'a municipal corporation to Issue negotiable, or, as they are commonly termed, coupon bonds, as evidence of its Indebtedness. This power Is only derived from legislative action and such action is strictly construed, and the power thereby grunted to be exercised only In strict conformity to the terms of tho Kmnt. The right to issue these bonds is given in paragraph 132c of the 'charter, which reads: "The city shall have power to issue bonds to the amount of $1.240,000 of the denomination of $100, or any i thereof, payable forty years after their date or IHSUP, and bearing-Interest payable seml- annually at a rate not exceeding 5 per cent per annum." This means that the bonds issued shall lie payable In any legal tender of HIP United Sta tea and not in some particular coin or commodity. The maximum rate 07 Interest la Hxed nt 6 per cent and under the powers grunted the city did not agree 1 to pay greater rate nor can under any circumstances a greater percentage be exacted of It. Were the bonds ana coupons payable In gold, end should happen to be at GO per cent premium, then the rate of Interest would he Increased beyond the charter limit, which cnn not be done.

Again, the city's revenues are payable in any legal tender and from them the bonds und coupons are to be puld. Should the. bonds and coupons be payable In gold nnd that coin be at a premium of 50 per cent, the city would be compelled to pay tin? bonds anrl coupons In gold, when provision for such payment had been made In a depreciated medium. Thus not only would the Interest be Increased, but a debt would be put upon the city greater than allowed by its charter. The charter of a municipal corporation, especially when granting extraordinary powers, 19 to bf strictly conntrued and tixpreaft power to IssmV gold bonds not being Klv-n tills city by tlifr k-fHfOnture, which the o-ily body thAt cnn grant mich power, I am of the opinion a the city council can not pass this ordinance.

As the question mibmittod by you with reference to the availability of the already engraved bonds, I beft to say that, in my opinion, they can' not 1 lined. They all dated as of December, 1831, arc all made payable In December. 1931. This not In accordance with the Kach bund mupt be made payable forty yonrn frovn the date of Its bsno. A bond Is only when exeoutcd and delivered for value.

Under the head of unfinished busmeM the ordinance offered by Alderman Harrln regulating the counting ot ballots In city elections was put on IU second reading and on of Alderman Jackson, by a unanimous vote, was paflsed. The ordinance Is as follows: Be It ordained by the city council of the city of Galveston: That article 46 of title 4 of the revised ordinances of the city of Galveston be amended so as hereafter to 'read as follows: Article 45. The presiding judge of election In each ward shall be provided, In the same manner as other election supplies are provided, with three ballot boxes, to be numbered No. 1, No. 2 and No.

3 respectively. Before the balloting begins said judge shall open and examine said boxes and remove everything therefrom. One of the judges of election shall receive the ballots from the voters and deposit said ballots In said ballot box No. 1. which shall be kept securely closed while the balloting continues one hour from the time of opening the polls: At the expiration of said hour the receiving judge shall deliver aaid ballot box No.

1 to the counting judges, who shall- Immediately deliver over to the said receiving ballot box No. 2, which shall be opened and examined In the presence of all the and when everything is removed therefrom shall be securely closed; and until the ballots 4n box No. 1 have been counted, said receiving judge shall receive and deposit ballots In said box No. 2 in the same manner as during the first hour ballots were received and deposited in ballot box No. 1.

After the delivery of ballot box No. 1 to the counting judges the same shall be immediately opened by them and the tickets shall be taken out. one at a tlmo by one of the counting judges, who shall rtad distinctly while the ballot remains in his hand the name or names written or printed thereon, also the olllce that IB intended to be filled by such person voted for, and deliver the same to the other counting who shall place tho same In ballot box No. 3 and keep securely until the counting Is finished; and then said box No. 3, with all the ballots cast at the election shall be returned to the city clerk.

The same method shall be observed with each ballot and the counting shall continue until all the ballots in box are counted. And then the Judges shall deliver ballot box No. to the receiving judge In the name manner as heretofore prescribed for ballot box No. and thereupon the counting judges shall receive from the receiving judge ballot box No. 2, and shall then proceed to count the ballots.

In said box No. 2 in the manner heretofore act forth for counting the ballots In -box, No, and on until the polish-are and the ballots all 1 No person or. persons'shall be admitted In the room or plape where such -ballots are being counted except the judges and clerks of election; provided, however, that any political party may select a representative man, who may be admitted as a witness of such counting. After the ballots have been counted and the vote ascertained as herein provided the judges of election shall return their Hats and in the manner provided by law. liliHVr orrllhRnrA fwriiifttin" ployment of laborers on city the rate of waxes and hours of labor, was called up on Tu second reading, but at the request Alderman alter tiviine action was postponed until the next regular meeting.

i NEW BUSINESS. Under this head Alderman Jaques requested that further time be granted the special committee on the investigation of the John Sealy hospital. This brought on an animated discussion led by Alderman Wcirner, who stated that he had learned that the charter made no provision for-an Investigation by the hospital and health committee, and he would aak that this special committee be added to the board or board of health. In this conne'ct'lon he added that he wanted distinctly hnd appointed that commrtteejjfcs acting mayor and certain thinfis. in print In reference to-It, were, scurrilous and unfounded; his honor the had nothing whatever tu do with- but.

lie aa RCUUK hnd appointed them on his own responsibility and with tho beat of motives. Alderman said he wanted an investigation and when a report was brought In by that special committee he would guarantee that there would be 'Sworn statements behind It. Alderman Jackson said he was a member of that special committee, and as he read the charter the proper way to get an Investigation was through the board of health of the city and the board of trustees of the John Sealy hospital, Aidarman Jaques started off with a grand nourish to ask If the board of trustees of the Sealy hospital was a higher power than the aldermen of the city of Galveston elected by the people, when Alderman Webber shot In a point of order, saying there was nothing before the council, and he moved to adjourn. The mayor said he knew there was nothing before the council but thought he would let the Sixth ward alderman get through. The Sixth ward representative quoted the ordinances which he said authorized the council's action.

Alderman Jackson replied that an ordinance In conflict with tho charter was a nullity. Alderman Boynen put a quietus on the matter by moving that the special committee- to Investigate the hospital be discharged. The was seconded and adopted and the committee retired from business. Tho motion to adjourn was then renewed and seconded. Before putting it however.

Mayor Fly rose and said that as Alderman Wegner had allueded to something said about the hospital matter he desired to say that In so far ns that matter referred to htm lie should deem It a personal matter and proposed to settle it as such outside of the council Council then adjourned until Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Nat Stern, with Galveston fruit company, says of Dr. Dennis: "I had catarrh for years. I would choke at night when asleep, and could not breatha through my nose scarcely during the dav.

Dr. Dennis cured me over four months airo. I am still free from all trouble. He also fitted my eyes with glosses, which are more than satisfactory, although I had never before been able to get a glass easy on my eyes." Mr. J.

Shaw, a banker of Navaaota. says: "Dr. Dennis cured me of deafness and a running ear of over two years' stand- ins. I huve been entirely well for three months." Bo you see, when Dr. cures you you stay cured.
