The want of tenement houses is
greatly felt in Victoria. There are
many families who would domicile
hero if they could procure comfortable
dwellings. A building and loan as-
sociation would be to the advantage
of every one interested in the growth
and prosperity of the city. There is
an abundance of idle capital in Vic-
toria, which if applied to the erectioa
of comfortable dwellings would in-
sure a good interest on investment.

Mahon as a candidate for county
commissioner at the ensuing election,
appears in to-days issue. It is scarce-
ly necessary for us to introduce this
gentleman to our readers in a local
notice, because he has served the
people in the capacity of county
commissioner so faithfully and ably
in the past, that there are few who
do not know and rccognize his indis-
pensiblc usefulness in the councils
and management of the county's af-
fairs. We predict a successful can-
didacy for Mr. Mahon.

We are indebted to Hon. B. J.
Pridgen for the facts in the acci-
dental killing of Ed. Johnston, (col-
ored) atThomaston on Saturday last.
Tho colored man was out hunting
wild turkeys with . two young Ger
mans named Springers, and having
conic across a coach-whip snake be-
gan to throw at it. The snake show-
ed fight, and as tho boys started to
run, a gun in the hands of Mike
Springer was discharged, the load
taking effect in the back and neck of
Johnston, inflicting a wound from
which he died in half an hour. The
young Germans are well thought of
in that neighborhood, and the killing
was purciy accidental. Ed. John-
ston was a well disposed and indus-
trious colored boy who enjoyed the
confidcnco of the community, and
his death is deplored by all who
know him. His funeral was attend-
ed by a largo number of tho white
as well of the colored people of the
neighborhood.
Col. George P. Finlay arrived in
the city on last Monday and was met
at the depot and esccrtcd to the Ex-
change by a number of warm and ad-
miring friends. In the evening the
Exchange was illuminated, music
was procured and a large number of
our most prominent citizens called
to offer respects to tho distinguished
candidate for cosgress from the 7th
district, who has so faithfully served
the people in the state councils in the
past. Tho champagne stoppers pop-
ped, the music was excellent and tho
reception altogether a most pleasant
affair. Col. Finlay was in his usu-
ally pleasant mood, and when called
on for a speech, made a few hap-
py and well timed remarks, touching
the early days of thi3 western coun-
try when he, a mere boy, just en-
tering tho profession of the law, was
welcomed by tho people with that
generous hospitality for which they
have ever been distinguished. The
reminiscence of the gentleman touch-
ed a responsive chord in the hearts of
his hearers, and he was loudly ap-
plauded. The Colonel after thank-
ing bis friends for their courtesy,
concluded by saying that he would
fully define his position in a speech
at the Casino on Tuesday night,
and the party took their leave. Col.
Finlay is in splendid trim for
the campaign, and never appeared to
better advantage than on his late
visit to Victoria.
No little excitement was caused in
this cfty by the arrest yesterday ev-
oving of conductor Gallaway of the
New York, Texas and Mexican rail-
way, when bis train arrived, on the
charge of rape and seduction. Sher-
iff Fenner received a telegram from
Blchmond at half past four o'clock
upon which the arrest was made.
The person upon whom the outrage
is alleged to have been committed,
is said to be named Mrs. or Miss
Bruce who came down on the Mor-
gan road from Cuero and took the
Telfeuer road for Bosenberg, her
destination being Belton. At Bosen-
berg not being able to procure ac-
commodation, she went to Bicbinond
accompanied by conductor Gallaway,
and it was at the hotel at Bichmond
that the crime is said to have been
committed. Mr. Gallaway it is said
however, by persons from Blchmond
and Bosenberg returned by the 7:30
train of tfee same evening to Bosen-
berg and remained there that night,
and when the lady came on the
morning train saw her safely trans-
ferred to the train for Belton. We
gathered this statement with some
difficulty and cannot vouch for its
correctness.

congress from this, tho 7th district
arrived ou Monday last returning
homo on Wednesday.
Mr. C. W. Hayes, of Galveston,
and the representativo of the St.
Louis Globe Democrat, did us the
honor to call this week. Mr. Hayes
has been spending several days
among us, and expresses admiration
of our growing little city.
lion. W. II. Cram, of Cuero, was
among other esteemed friends to call

terday from Indianula, where he and
i Col. Finlay addressed the people on
political issues the previous evening.

ing relatives. Mr. Carroll was call-
ed there on account of the danger-

Speech et Col. Ffnlay ou Tn«
A large and appreciative *u4
greeted Hon. George P. Finlay on
last Tuesday night at the Cxaino,
composed of leading citizeus and
many ladies. Mr. Finlay's remarks
upon tho questions of tarilT and har-
bor improvements as applicable to
his district, were received with hearty
approval, and set the gentleman right
with those well informed upon thesa
subjects, proving that ho had been
misrepresented by some of those who
oppose him in the canvass. Mr.
Fiulay's arraignment of Tom Ochil-
tree upon his record and his no par-
ty principle and no platform candi-
dacy elided great applause. No
effort on the hustings in Victoria
ever produced a more favorable Im-
pression than did Mr. Finlay's speech.
Ex-Senator B. J". Pridgen after Mr.
Finlay concluded, was loudly called
for, and in a few well chosen re-
marks thanked the audience for their
consideration, declared hiir-wlf " re-
publican upon principio, a v? 'm¿. 1 his
candidacy was upon the rvy.ru .lean
platform; said that it 'was not in
good taste for him to take advan-
tage of Mr. Finlays meeting and that
at some future time he would address
the people of Victoria on tho issue
of tho day, and gracefully retired.
Col. Fiulay left on Wednesday for
Cuero. Owing to the crowded state
of our columns, we cannot give a full
report of his eloquent sound and log-
ical speech.

So brief was the summons of death
it could scarecly be realized. The
little one rose in the morning, bright
in all his baby beauty, and before
evening's close was cold in tho icy
embrace ot death, jjis tender love
had crept so deep into tho hearts of
mother and grandfather, and when all
seemed happiness around, tho littles
home circle was forced to yield tip
one of its brightest links, to unite
above in the golden chain of eternity.

this city, but now of Fcardall, Frio

for eight years and returned to the
bedside of his mother, who after a
painful illness went to rest on hist
Thursday night.
Mr.'E. Ignatius Coyle associated
with Mr. Paul A Lewis, of Galves-
ton, in the publishing business, paid
us a visit this week. The above
named gentlemen arc the authors and
publishers of a work entitled "Texas

four hundred pages of valuable in-
formation relative to Texas. Mr.
Coyle is traveling in .the interests of
his work.
A distressing accident occurred on
the Gulf, Western Texas and Faciüc
railroad on last Monday morning at
sevou o'clock at Inciianola. The
boiler of an engine on r. pilé driver
exploded, fatally scalding Mr. John
Casey, engineer, dangerously injur-
ing Mr. Fred. Montague, and slight-
ly injuring Mr. Joseph Jeckcr and
Mr. F. Montier. The cause of the
explosion is a mystery. Mr. Casey
was a young man. highly respected
by all Trho knew him and a special
favorite with the managers of the
railroad. A telegram "to D. C.
Proctor, Esq., attorney for tho road
who was in this city conveyed the
sad intelligence of Mr. Casey's death
at Cuero, where he bad been conveyed
by sp<yial train immediately after the
accident at his own request. He
died at five o'clock, having suffered
great agony and his untimely death
cast a gloom over the city of Cuero.
The people of which out of respect
to the deceased suspended all busi-
ness and attended the funeral. Cer-
tainly the death of a young man hav-
ing only bis goodness of hehrt, up-
rightness of character and moral
worth, to recommend him to á peo-
ple in these days of selfish mankind,
speaks not only volumes for the mer-
its of the deceased, but proves the
appreciation of those merits by a peo-
ple capable in their refinement of do-
ing honor to the virtuous dead unac-
tualed by sordid motives. The oth-
ers who were injured will recover.
