ECLIPSE WANT COLUMN THE DAILY STANDARD xaaLrr EASLEY HENDRICKS GENERAL TRANSFER AGENTS a This reporter made diligent efforts yester-to find some one who attended the meeting at Music store announced for Thursday night to organize a Young Christian Association Failing to learn anything concerning it we concluded the attendance had been too small to effect an organization However it has transpired since that tbe names of thirteen persona were enrolled as members Mr the meeting Messrs Dunn Harry Cobb and Hayes were appointed a committee to draft a constitution and by-laws Another meeting will be held next Thursday night wbena' permanent organization will be effected Organizations of this character exist in almost every city in the United States and have been productive of much good "We hope there will be a good attendance at the next meeting as the object of the orgaiza" tion is praiseworthy and commendable Dr Arthnr Wolff Senior Surgeon and one of the staff of the Galveston Medical and Surgical Institute has taken an office in the rear of jewelry store on Main street where he may be consulted on all kinds of surgical diseases Doctor Wolff has diplomas and certificates from the principal medical schools of Europe viz Paris Schools of Medicine Hoilawd London and has been lecturing on surgery at the College of physicians and surgeons in New York He has a very large nrinemariuin ot in struments and all the modern surgical appliances Specialities: Diseases of the eye ear nose throat diseases of women Hernia (Rupture) Ac We advise patients to call early 105-dvv-lm

of handling none hut the best of good Red sign Williams Bro's Barnes on the Sanitary matter Orr morning cotemporary contains a lengthy disquisition on sanitary matters from the pen of a sojourner and while his views as to thfe urgency and importance of measures looking to the improvement of the sanitary condition of the city are no doubt correct and well-tini ed he has made an agregious mistake in referring to the office of a prominent law firm orthe street thereabout as an example for Illustrating what he terms the of our public thoroughfares The premises ot Messrs Hanna Hogsett are exceptionally neat and clean being well supplied with gravel and the care and attention bestowed upon the office and its surroundings by Captain Hanna is proverbial It is true that the restaurant on the corner extends back to within a few yards oftheir office but Captain Hanna states that he requires the owner of it by the terms of his lease to remove the swill and other offensive matter daily and we venture the assertion that there is less ground for complaint here than at any other similar establish tnent in the city Again there Is nothing offensive about the streets in that locality and why the learned sanitarian should cite this place alone in criticisms so general in their nature is scarcely comprehensible It is highly improbable however that the writer intended any injustice to the eminent legal gentleman referred to but it is certainly far from complimentary that their place of business should be referred to through a public journal in connection with a warning to authorities that in regard to the enactment of sanitary laws to save us from the melancholy fate ot several Southern cities fin times never to be forgotten by the sufferers when death removed nearly half of their It is obvious to the minds of all that the mayor and board ot aldermen should give the sanitary condition oftheeitv their earnest attention but considering the fact admitted by that our topographical situation makes Fort Wortli one of the most health-spots in the union no fears need be entertained of an epidemic especially such as have visited the southern cities referred to Such a calamity may be classed amoug the impossibilities HEXDRIX night subject to order Onllr 'iven Km' ceiveil pt and special attentiojf 1 re nKtttr HEED LATHROP Wholesale and Retail Dealer in Books

tax law which contains information ot interest to all business men and especially those who may have entertained doubts as to the constitutionality of thi law The attorney general says that only the law of 1673 had beeu declared unconstitutional at the Galveston term of the supreme court but a rehearing had been granted The tax law of 1876 however or rather the law in regard to occupation tax passed by the last legislature (under the new constitution) is perfect and its constitutionality has never been questioned Larceny Justice McClung was engaged to-day in the preliminary examination of the case of the State vs Hedrick charged with larceny defendant aud a man named Beau stopped at the Peers House last Monday evening and Bean being intoxicated Hedrick put him to bed He then left the

the night As the case is undergoing investigation we refrain from giving any particulars The State is represented in this trial by John McLuu-ry and the defendant by Field Ball Two Shots without Effect A shooting affray occurred at the depot yesterday evening arising from a dispute about a settlement between a man named Burke and a carpenter whose name we think is Hamilton Burke fired two pistol shots at the other party neither one of which took effeet Both were in a room and he must have been a very poor marksman or did not care to injure the party assaulted Burke was arrested by Marshal Courtright and officer Taylor aud placed under bond The ease was to have been brought before Justice McClung to-day for examination but up to the hour of going to press it had not been called
