Immigrant ship General Werder arrives with 220 migrants
The steamship General Werder from Bremen brings 220 emigrants mainly from Prussia and the Russian border provinces. They head to Texas German colonies and sail to Galveston yesterday. Some older men bring money to buy land at five dollars an acre, but most have little funds and will be farm laborers earning about thirty cents daily or forty dollars a year, with hopes of higher pay.
