Houston, Oct.

K. -This afternoon at t.K o'clock' the city council met In ad- Ifurned for the purpose of discussing the proposition of the city constructing or building Its waterworks. Mayor Browne presided, with secretary Blchard- Hon at his desk, and the foJiowing aldermen in their seats: Fox, Geiselman, Hlrsch. Shearn. Bailey, Relsner and Schilling.

Aldermen Kohlhouft, Hamilton and Lysle were absent. The business was opened by reading the report of the board of public works on the waterworks resolution of Alderman Hlrsch, 3.3 follows: To the Mayor and City Council of Houston: The board of public works In return- lute the resolution offered by Alderman Hlrach to enable the fflty of Houston to construct and maintain Its own system of waterworks and electric lights, bee leave to report that In the opinion of the board BUch a step. In view of the present bonded indebtedness of the city, would be unwise and Inexpedient at this time. If, however, your honorable body should differ with this board on this question, we respectfully suggest that It may be possible that some mutual and satisfactory arrangement can be made with the present and light companies whereby these plants nnd franchises may be acquired by purchase, and we recommend, In the event you differ with us on the expediency of the proposed measure, that the acquirement of the present plants and franchises by purchase be first Investigated. This would avoid tearing up very expensive nnd vexatious work at any time and which Ehould be carefully considered--and In no event would the board recommend the Issuance of a bond bearing over 6 per cent Interest.

The chairman of this board, Mr. T. W. connected with the Houston waterworks company, as vice president, refuses very properly to act on tnls resolution and report. Respectfully ubmittod, A.

BgMNg. Hit-sob inm-M that he re- 'celved and flled. Seconded. Relener proposed to amend It to appoint a oammlttee of five, three aldermen and two citizens, to confer with the waterworks and electric light companies aa to price. Fox seconded Rclsner's amendment.

Hirsch said the report ought lo be flls- posed of flrst, and another motion considered later. Relsner said he wn3 surprised at the Kentleman position in the mutter. At Relsner request the report waa reread. Bailey said he thought the report was lo be first considered, and he seconded Hlrech'a motion to receive and Hie it. RelHner claimed that hia motion or amendment, wus In order.

He wanted to go at the thlnp in a biifil- wuy, as the people would have to vote on It anyway. He didn't want to drive nor frighten any capital from the city, and Tie knew that the stockholders JiRd rights that they would protect in the courts, and they ought to be recognized. Hirsch said ho favored the appointment of the committee, but thought the report ought to be disposed of. He criticised the report by saying it claimed in one place that the -city was too much In debt now to do anything, and then In another place BUggested purchase of the waterworks and elertrtc llgnt plants. Fox thought the report of the board wan very Kood, und that the alderman was mistaken about It.

BaUey he didn't see what the aaop- lion or the report hud to iiu wUh Uiu matters, and wanted It adopted. Rftlsner stated his amendment again, for the understanding of all. Haliey said that the amendment, as he understood It. practically killed the resolution of Uirpch, and he thought the people ought to have sometltlng to any In matter, Relsner then explained that ho wanted the committee to Investigate the cost of a new system of water works and of a fire alarm, as well as to ascertain the price of the now In use here. The amendment of Alderman Relsner was accepted and the whole adopted.

The committee Is to be composed of three aldermen and two expert citizens, whose duty will be to make an exhaustive inquiry into the cost of constructing new water works and a new electric light eystem, and also into the price of the present systems asked by tho owners; and further to ascertain the cost of maintaining and operating the systems and the pront or advantage to the city ot owning them. The original motion and amendment contemplate a thorough Investigation into the fact! and an exhaustive report on the subject of a city's owning and operating Its own system of water works nnd electric lights. The report Is to be made at the next meeting, November 13. Meeting adjourned. DROUTH RECOLLECTIONS.

The clouds that floated beneath the blue nky to-day are greater In number than for tnamy weeks and appeared the first nebulous suggestion of rain that has come oyer tlids city for a long time. The length oC the present dry spell makes it a matter of deep concern to the entire people of this section, and in conversation to-day with one of the oldest citizens of south Texas a News man obtained some interesting facts. He was Mr. S. M.

MoAshnn, cash- lei wf the T. VV. House bank, a highly esteemed citizen of Houston and probably the closest observer of weather conditions, appearances and their results in this part of auite. He nas been In Texas over nfty years and first resided in or near LaGrange. "W.hpn did we have such a dry spell as this before?" asked the News man.

The last dry spell greater than this was In the year 1860, It began on April 19 of that year and lasted to September 17. and was one of the most remarkable perhaps within the memory of any living Houston- lau. Larpre cedar brakes la many parts of the country died, the crop amounted to Httw or nothing, but after the rain In September vegetation took life and that year fcrought forth the only truly top crop of cotton -1 ever It made more than the under or llrat crop. A the rain the weather continued mild, grass grew rapidly and horses ana cattle lived on It There was scarcely any corn produced, and they had to Mvo onirasa. Despite the fact that It regarded as a most disastrous year to the farming interests the people did not suffer from hard times.

An acre of around raised scarcely five bushels of corn, and yat Texas got along all right. The slims are unfavorable for rain now. but we will have it before the winter advances much further, nnd we will have a wet soring You cnn count upon this. You have sceri that a storm has been predicted for this section. The prediction was made before the bit storm In southern Louisiana aad New Orleans nnd now we will not hnve a storm Tha violence and magnitude of that storm I wore so oomlltlonR foretell- Ing Another have bpen done away with send It will not now put In an appearance The conversation drlftwl to the crops of to-day and it was mentioned that this kind of weather was good for the cotton planter and augur cane growers, and nearly all of tha lumber men.

THE DIVORCE WAS GRANTED. Some unusually interesting matters, and what must have been a trying ordeal for I'aJr witness, were brought out yesterday In divorco trlul that came before iho civil district twurt, Sam prf-aldint. The plaintiff, who Is pretty wellj known In thia city, nought a from her on the ground of having- I been harshly, almost to cruelty, treated by him. Her petition form In i ntancd that nhe hd bven well raised and I had enjnyed tender nnd fr.Mtt\n I trontmrnt at the hands of those- who surrounded her early life up to the time of I fler marriage, was very sensitive to treatment of any other kind, hence at- by ftuafctnil to of bar I madt burdtn unto cruelty, with other facts uinllar to these, furnishing KruuM upob. which to make the testimony valid and answerablft.

youur lady't testimony brought Into effective service. young lady was possessed of acoompl.thwents of mind, beauty of pemvn, itna that made her uitntcUve lv thv vppovltv swX, Iirer testimony wan to the that on when wife away t'rum hotrw, toi tpM that not only he, out anybody, couM love her, and fur- that he laid hande upon and repeatedly kissed her. though much affain.it her wishes and In of stubborn resistance; that told him it was unjentle- nianly, mnd him of his marital relations and Infidelity created to his wife. On the strength of statement being sworn to, und made presumably against that feeling of modesty which Is a lovable part of every young lady's character, the court granted the divorce und awarded the custody of the child to the mother. COMING FROM ARKANSAS.

A letter was received this morning by a gentleman, lately, from Arkansas and now a resident of Houston, frpm a party of home seekers who will leave that state in a few days en route for Houston with a view of making homes in this part, of Texas. In an Interview with a reporter the gentleman went on 'to say that there iwoutd be at least thirty families from southeastern Arkansas, along the line of the Cotton 1 Belt railroad, who would move to southern and southeast Texas before the first of January, I89t. He is well satisfied that the Inducements offered in the shape of cheap lands would he the means of bringing a great many farmers from the old settled parts of Arkansas to Harris and surrounding counties. Continuing, the gentleman said: "The class of people who ere coming are not speculators, but sturdy farmers, who will purchase lands anil mnko homed. The real estate people of Houston are using every effort to settle up the country, but they need the co-operation of the railroads of Texas In doing this by making some reductions in rates."

TEXAS BOADB OAU THE BOOK ieiASB'8 BAUD. itehtwn taoiul Meetraj--Otlifornia'i Bajlroad Oommittlon Southern Fuirtt Sobmluk The Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe yesterday issued an amended freight tariff meet- Ing the cut in rates made by the Rock Island a few days ago. The Santa Fe's rates apply to Galveston and Houston as well as to Fort Worth and Dallas--In fact, they apply to all points on the Santa Fe line except points west of Brownwood and rates to points west of Brownwood will be made by adding reguler differentials.

The official announcement of these rates Is contained In an advance notice issued from the.office of L. J. Polk, general freight agent of the Santa Fe, and designated as "amendment 9 to joint freight tariff, Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe. No. 601A," and reads as follows: Effective October 30, 1893.

Houston, Oct. was stated In these dispatches exclusively this morning that the Houston and Texas Central was liable to stand In with the Rock Island and meet Its cut on freight rates. That Is exactly what the Houston and Texas Central did to-day, and so did the Southern Pactllc. Both, of these roads announced today through General Traffic Manager Beln that they would meet the Rock Island slash on rates Into Fort Worth by making the same rate to Houston and other aouth Texas points. Circulars to that effect today went to the local freight agents of both these roads.

Now southern Texas polntu tin well as common points other than Fort Worth and Dallas will enjoy these reduced ratea on freight and denned territories through the action of the Sunset and Houston and Texas Central. This Is a Koud thing for Houston, and shows that these lines lutend to protect the Texas hub. It will be remembered that when the Rock Island made Its cut several days ago, The NOWH stated that the Katy and Southern Pacific were not'going to sit back and see Fort Worth enjoy a pull over Houston, Galveston and Dallas. As usual. The News was right.

This cut by the Southern Pacific and Houston and Texas Central means that the Sap will likewise fall In line, as It IB well known that the latter Is but a caudal 1 two lines. What they do the Sap' may be expected to do also. The acllon of the above roads was something of a surprise to a gretit many people, as It was believed that none of the roaus would meet the Rock Island cut, but would let things rock along until tho Southwestern traffic association could have a meeting and adjust things, 'bringing about a restoration of rates. Others, however, thought differently, after getting the hint which was printed this morning relative to the Houston and Texas Central. The chances for the freight men to get together and restore rates are now thiin they have been before The situation has become serious, and all 'of the lines will now work to a common end--that of bringing about peace, and doing away with the cut-throat rates.

The cut rates Southern Pacific and the Houaton nnd Texas Central go Into effect on Saturday, October 28. A CUT Tn TKXAS. St. Louis, Oct. St.

Said a railroad man ol" speaking of the recent disaster at Jackeon: I hope to see the time when the laws of the United States will require all roads to run only vestibule trains. Of the five recent wrecks through rear collisions, had the trains been vestlbuled In every case but one the loss of life would not have occurred and the destruction of equipment would not be one-tenth as great. In four cases the reports show that coaches of different roads were in the trains, und in all probability the platforms of some were higher than those of the road's coaches, so that when Hie collision came tho highest platform roile over the lower, then on through the coach, causing the destruction of the coach, loss of life and personal Injuries of a serious nature, such as would be Impossible were the trains ves- libuled, -is. when properly the coach platforms of the sleeping cars, day coaches and baggage cars form a solia train, and, while the rear coach or sleeping car may suffer some, beyond that, except a heavy jar. no trouble of a nature follows.

Another fault In running passenger trains nt the present day Is are not enough men to look after the train. Trains of twelve coaches are running through Indianapolis every day with no more train crew than has the four-car neoommorlation train, so In of accident, even If well fore-warned, the nUl mothnd of stopping 1 by hfiml- brake becomes of little avail. He well understood the situation nt Jaek- son. and he ronld not see any possible excuse for that accident. He was satisfied that the seconrt section was coming Into Jackson at a much higher speed than has been stated.

This mixing of coaches In trains to hnnHIo the worlds fair business Is a reckless proceeding, and the only wonder wns that wrecks hnd lieon so few, but we might look for the telescoping of passenger trains until the vestibuled train, cumes Into general use.

LouU "Republic. General Pawengar Ji.me* of the Mluourl, iUmna and bag one of the most unlqua problems of railroad ticket before him. Several ago a Watfnar ileapinv car conductor lost the ticket! belravlnc to upward of forty who had Intrusted their precious to hli cart. It Is a well understood custom of all railroads that the conductor of every night train shall secure the tickets of passengers when they retire, In order to them to the next conductor, thud avoiding awakening the occupants o.f the- berths. This rule Is In vogue on the.

Iflnouri, Kansas and Texas line. Among 'pther changes on the long run from' Gatvsstoh to Chicago, the Chicago Flyer on thli line Is taken In cnarge by a new crew at Hannibal, where solid ves.tlb.ule.il train, which Is the pride of Mr. Barker's heart, passes Into the care, of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy "road, over whose Hues it goes to Chicago. Not many days ago the Incident that gives rise to this narrative occurred. About forty-two passengers were alecp In two Wagner sleepers, when the north bound (Iyer reached Hannibal.

All of them had tickets for Chicago. Some of them bore return coupons, others read through to points In the eaut one, indeed, carried its owner to Europe. All of these valuable bits of worth not far from nooo. were In the hands of the sleeping car conductor for delivery to ihe new train conductor who would take charge as the ye went across the bridge at Hannibal Into Illinois. As the train entered the metropolis of Marlon county the Wagner conductor was busily engaged lu the drawing- room of one of his coaches, sorting the tickets and preparing them for the next conductor.

As the train entered Hannibal depot he left the little piles of tickets and carefully locking the door behind him. as he now declares, Went out to duty on the platform-- to assist chance patrons of the Wagner company on or oft the coaches In his charge. He was, gone perhaps ten mln- e3 'i, Wlren he returned he at once went to the little drawing room. of the sleeper to resume his work with the tickets. They were gone! If ever a heavy heart performed us mission Is was that sleeping car conductor.

He nearly fainted. Frantically he tore about the car. He looked everywhere--on the floor, under the seat in the window sill, even to the hatracks did he rush and ransack for the bits of paper that told of the contracts between the Innocent forty-two sleeping passengers and the various railroad companies over which they were to complete their journeys. In a few moments the new conductor of the train came Into the sleeping car The conductor told his story. At first nic train thought it wub a juke 1 hen he discovered that there was no mistake about It.

There were two men with forty-two tlcketless passengers on their hands. Some were women; some were un- traveled girls; some -were Texans, who nuver trifle. The thoughts that surged through those brains were maddening There was but one thing to do-- carry the passengers to Chicago and depend upon the Missouri, Kansas and Texas company to Issue new tickets on personal This was done and no particular questions asKeu. After It was all over the sleeping car conductor was relieved from duty He In now wandering about the railroad otllces wondering where the deuce all thone tickets put off on his head waV.lSIpffSoiS would have a splendid damage suit on fl the sltua tton stolen tickets will of course be handled.

Lebanon Jurisdiction Over All Catholic Marlonltes. Temple, Oct. entertained a distinguished vlltor within her the past week no less personage thau Father Maroon FaraJi, a Syrian priest.

just from Mt. Jje'uaauu, He. spe-aHs no English at 11 and waa accompanied by his Interpreter, Alexander Paxlgl. They were in Temple lust Wednesday and Thursday and were the guests of Father P. A.

Heckmon of'St. Mary's cburch. Father Farah conducted mass at St. Mary's Thursday in the Syrian language, which was the tonvuft spoken by our Saviour Jesus Christ and his blessed mother. The Syrian population of this country has grown to such proportions that a missionary of their own faUb, and race has been sent to look after their spiritual condition, as tbey speak ho English and the rites of their church a little different from the Roman forms.

Father Farah found no Syrian people In Temple, but at Waco he said there over twenty. He preached a sermon to tho Americans with the aid of his interpreter at Waco. He is just above the middle height, powerfully made, and has very prominent, swarthy features, black hair and eyee, and a thick, heavy black beard streaked with gray falling 1 over his expansive breast. Speaking through his Interpreter he said that he was born and educated on Mt. Lebanon, where there is a very large seml- rmry In charge of Syrinn WatMonitow Father Farah sold that he Is a mlBslonary priest and was sent out by the patriarch of Antioch, who lives on Mt.

Ijebanon, and has lurisdiction over all the Catholic Marlomtcs throughout the world. There are twelve archbishops and over 40,000 priests to look after the spiritual wants of the Marlonites throughout the world. Since the time of the late crusades, tho Interpreter said, religious interests of Christendom at Mt. Lebanon had been looked after by a council representing the seven groat powers of Kuropc. This council acted as a uefense from the 111 treatment of tho Turks and Mohammedans of the neighborhood.

Outside of the Mt. Lebanon district, Father Farah said, the Moham- medans constantly persecuted the Christian Svrlana. This is the rooson why many of them come to the United States, which they consider a highly Christian country, where all religions are protected. Father Farah has preached In Canada, California and other states in the union. He carries letters to the Catholic bishops from" the patriarch.

Every summer fie spends at about eight miles from the cedars of Lebanon. When asked why he wore a beard when the Hpmon and other priests had none, Father Farah said simply that was a sicn of disgrace for a Syrian priest to be smooth shaven. They were shaved when they had committed a grievous sin, MEDICAL. ASSOCIATION. Son Atttonio.

He makes more money on it--but do you want to ruin your clothes for his profit? The imitations of Pearline are sold at a lower price, naturally, for they're not good. Some are dangerous, and would be dear at any price. There's nothing equal to Pearline, the original washing compound, which saves the most work in washing and cleaning, and doesn't do harm.
