Washington, Jan. 11.—The report of
the engineer commission on the deep
water harbor on the coast of Texas has
been printed, and it made a document of
eighteen pages. It is. as is known, a
thorough review of tin* whole subject and
will enable members of congress to inform
themselves so as to act intelligently and
without unnecessary delay lath* premises.
As yet there has been very little dis-
cussion about a Texas deep water harbor,
but this largely arises from the fact that
there has been nobody to keep it con-
spicuously forward in the congressional
mind. The Texas delegation, of course,
as well as oilier congressmen from other
western states can be depended upon to
advance the project in a legislative way.
but something more is needed beyond a
few spoken words in debate or an affirma-
tive vote when the time for final action is
íe.iched.

RIDDEN ON A. RAIL.
Souvenir of tlic Catholic Congress.
Chicago. Jan. II.--The official reports
of the proceedings of the Catholic con-
gress at Baltimore and the centennial cel-
ebration of the establishment of the Cath-
olic hierarchy, which have been impat ent-
iy awaited by Catholic organizations and
individuals throughout the country, was
issued here to-day under the authority of
Cardinal Gibbons by Wm. 11. Hughes, ed-
itor of the Michigan Catholic of Detroit.
The work being intended somewhat as a
souvenir, has been given a strikingly ar-
tistic dress. It contains a complete icpori
of the congress to the minutest details of
every paper presented, as well as an elab-
orate account of the ceremonies and inci-
dents attending the celebration of the an-
niversary. The volume is profusely illus-
trated with the portraits of the arch-
bishops and bishops and of the prominent
Catholic laymen and participators in t!ie
deliberations of the congress..
Of Interest to Texan .
Wasimnoton. Jan. 1'. —The census de-
partment says it will apDoint the super-
visors of the census in Texas at an early
day. The reasou the appointments have
not been made is because the supervisors
are not agreed on.
Postmasters—J. M. Garrett, Marien-
feld. Martin county.
The confirmation of Cuney as collector
at the Galveston port has not yet come up
in the executive session of the senate. It
is reported he will eomc to Washington in
a short time, presumably to see after his
confirmation.
It costs the government just the same
as individuáis, a good deal of money for
its legal business. For instance, take the
expenses of Texas, which for the last
year were as follows:
Northern district—Marshals $13,475.87,
jurors St 1,450, witnesses $13,800, prison-
ers 85200, bailiffs S12S5.95, miscellaneous

rents $1074; total $54,505.45.
Eastern district -Marshals $3500, jurors
$10.000, witnesses $10,500, prisoners

regular fees of attorneys $2359.91), regular
fees of assistant attorneys$1064.83, clerks
$1254, commissioners $1217.20, rents
$2505; total $54,666.43.
The total expenses of the United States
courts in Texas for the year amounted to
$145,556.37.
A Wife-Beater Seised by Regulator* and
Given a Drubbing.
East Liverpool, O., Jan. 9.—Hooks-
town, Beaver county. Pa., was thrown
iuto the wildest excitement last night by
the appearance of a gang of regulators in
that village. They called at the residence
of Johnstown Calhoun, one of the oldest
and wealthiest and best known residents
of Beaver county, and demanded he make
amends for his alleged brutality to his
wife. They called upon him to come out
on the street He first refused but was
finally induced to make his appearance.
The regulators then seized him and placing
him on a rail started on a march through
the principal streets.
Senator Voortiees.
Washington, Jan. 9,—The house has
been engaged all day in the discussion
and consideration of the district of Colum-
bia budget This matter comes up at this
time every year and nothing of interest is
ever connected with it in the way of
speeches, except remarks here and there
in regard to the extravagrance of certain
portions of the bill, but it goes through all
the same, for '"Uncle Sam is rich enough
to buy us all a farm," and economists ac-
complish their purpose by getting their
names on the record as men careful in the
distribution of public funds.
In the senate Mr. Vorhees delivered the
speech which had been announced for
several days. It was on his resolution
calling on the attorney general to lay be-
fore congress any orders issued to the
United States district attorney at Indian-
apolis in regard to the arrest of Blocks of
Five Dudley for counselling an attempt to
bribe the voters of that commonwealth in
October. 1888. His speech was a pre-
pared one and he delivered it in an active
and deliberate manner, emphasizing here
there, though he read from manuscript.

The iron ore deposits of Alabama
are classified as hematite, or red ore.
limonite, or brown ore, siderite, or

The hematite, or as it is usually
called, red hematite, is the most im-

per cent of high grade metallic iron.
This deposit is not only the largest in
Northern Alaban , but is regarded by
scientific men as one of the mineral
