Formal Opening
•f the People's Hall way—Recur
•Ion Over the Kaat Winnie Line.
Upon the invitation of the Board of
Director* of the People's Railway Com-
pany, a number of gentlemen assembled
at the foot of Twenty-second street yes-
terday, at 12 o'clock, to join in an excur-
sion over the eastern division.
Two cars were in waiting and the party
ware soon under way. The occasion,
while it was intended to be one of plea-
surable diversion, not without a due
I hare of jollification, called to mind the
great significance which this new enter-
prise has, when considered in connection
with the march of public Improvements
in fthis city. The road is the offspring
of the general demand for increased fa-
cilities of transportation, and the thor-
ough and finishod manner in which it is
built and equipped, proves that the pro-
ectors have determined to make it safe
and reliable. Competition is the life of
trade ; there is room enough for all, and
Upon these assumptions the People's road
tomes In for a share of public patronage.
THE CAKB
used on this line are light, comfortable
and airy. In their construction many of
the latest improvements are combined,
chief among which are the " terrapin
back dome" surrounding them, the trucks
and the handsome lamps that are secured
beneath the dome by a chandelier-shaped
silver-plated frame. They move smoothly
over the track, and are easily propelled
by one mule, even when crowded to their
Utmost capacity.
Arrived at the terminus, the party dis-
embarked and occupied half an hour in-
specting the stables. The building is
30 by 100 feet, contains seventeen stalls,
room for eight cars, is
COMPLETE IN ALL
its appointments, and has an out-yard
100 by 120 feet square and well fenced,
attached to it. The loft is large, and
divided into two compartments, one for
storing forage and the other to be used
as an oiBce.
In the latter the excursionists assem-
bled to partake of " champagne on ice,
which had been sent "ahead" by the
thoughtful hosts. Barney Tiernan offici
ated, and kept the goblets full. Mr.
Blum, President of the Board of Directors,
in answer to a call, responded briefly.
Mr. Tod proposed and Mr. Walthew
responded to a toast to " Commerce."
Mr. Mosebach proposed the " Press," but
the press were bashful, and turaed the
matter over to Judge Tevis, who did
them justice. Mr. Rosenberg proposed
the
PEOPLE'S RAILWAY,
which was drank heartily ; Judge Tevis,
" Our sister city Houston," responded to
by Judge Goldthwaite, of that city; Mr.
Frederich, " The Directors ; " some one
else, " Mr. Superintendent Ogle," and the
party resumed their seats in the cars and
were driven rapidly away to the place of
embarkation. Among the gentlemen
present were Mayor Hurley, Leon Blum,
C. S. Tod, Mr. Rosenberg, Mr. Frederich,
Frank Harrar, C. O. Bingham, Ii. M
Tevis, Judge Goldthwaite, F. C. Mose-
bach, Mr. Hohorst, P. H. Hennessy, J. M.
Walthew, P. H. Carville, J. C. Ogle, rep-
resentatives of the press and others.

■ait End Notes.
Several dwelling houses are going up
In East End.
Several djoves of hogs ran at large oat
at East End.
A fine new dwelling, large and airy, is
going up at the east end of Avenue N.
A new drain is being put down at the
corner of Market and Twentieth streets.
A new pavement of English tiles is be-
ing put down on Market street, near
Nineteenth.
A pavement of English tiles is being
laid at the corner of Winnie and Eight-
eenth streets.
East Enders on Winnie were t'nrown
in a commotion yesterday over the street
railway excursion.
Preparations are being made to lay a
pavement at the corner of 18th street and
Avenue G.
A very unpleasant pool of water an-
noys those dwelling on Market street, in
the vicinity of Sixteenth.
Services will be held in the Baptist
Mission Church on Avenue K, between
10th and 11th streets to-day.
The man who was " chucked " into the
back-yard by his wife yesterday, did not
stand, with a shaving glass in one hand
and blacking brush in the other and per-
sonate Ajax worth a cent.
Trinity Church Guild.
A sermon will be preached to-night be-
fore this society. Immediately after the
usual services, an important meeting will
be held, to which all who are interested
in good works are cordially invited.
Rowing matters.
A rowing race will probably be one of
the interesting features of Christmas
day. A number of experts are agitating
the project, and lovers of aquatic sports
may be on the lookout for a single sct.ll
or four-oared boat race, or both, on that
happy holiday. Probably a tub race will
be added.
Everybody will be in for fun on Christ-
mas, and this additional attraction will
make things the merrier.
Local Notes.
.... The moon is four days old.
Four " tipsyites" were seen in a
Market street car at one time yesterday.
.... There were less intoxicated vic-
tims on the streets last night than the
end of the week generally presents.
.... The " People's Railway" mules
will soon be initiated; some of them
acted badly yesterday, and were not in-
clined to follow the track closely.
.... The west Winnie and depot street
cars are painted green and have a white
light; those going east on the same road
are painted red and have a red light.
.... Smoking in the street cars is a
habit which some gentlemen should rid
themselves of. Drivers can not always
be looking behind to remind you that it
is a breach not only of politeness but of
the regulations.
Bremond's Minstrel band was present
on Williams's Wliarf yesterday at the
departure of their leader, P. J. Kutliger,
for New York. A large crowd assem-
bled to the music of the band, one or two
speeches were made, and a letter was
read expressive of the good feeling of
the troupe toward their former leader.
Thanks
To Captain Smith , of the good schooner
St. George, from Tuxpan, for several
bunches of fine bananas. The St. George
is in port, with a cargo of delicious tropi
cal fruits. _
Arrested.
Pat O'Brien was arrested yesterday
on a charge of theft and lodged in jail.
He is known to have stolen several
whips and other articles from the store
of J. G. Gorham.
Burial of one or the Guards.
W. T. Byrne was buried from the
Cathedral Friday, with military honors.
He was a most estimable member of the
Washington Guards, and during his
life enjoyed the good will and confidence
of his fallows.
masquerade Rail.
The Independent Club will give their
fifth masquerade ball, at Turner Hall,
Tuesday evening. The Independent
Club dates its existence from the year
1869, and has already become famous for
the elegance of its entertainments.
Elaborate preparations have been made,
and it is intended to make the ball one of
the principal society events of the year.
The News returns thanks for cards of
invitation.
City Assessor.
Mr. F. C. Jeffries, city assessor, has
about completed his labors for 1874.
His assessment is the most satisfactory
that has been made for a lung time, and
nothing short of assiduous, unremitting
labor would have accomplished this re-
sult. The position of assessor, always a
thankless one, requires great determina-
tion to pursue anything like a course that
inures to the benefit of the city and not
the individual. The total amount of
taxes and penalties due the city as per
rolls of 1874, is #423,490 70.
Forgery.
Ben Roberts has been detected in forg-
ing the name of C. B. Lee upon checks
drawn upon the First National Bank of
Texas, in favor of himself. Two checks
have been drawn, each for the sum of
fifty-three dollars. These Roberts left
in the possession of two saloon-keepers,
to be presented for payment when his
drinking bills were sufficient to cover
the amount. Neither check had been
presented at the bank before it was dis-
covered that they were forged. Roberts
will appear before the Recorder next
Monday. Until that time he will remain
up among the " birds."
Entertainments.
An entertainment will be given al
Turner Hall on the evening of Wednes
day, December 23, in aid of St. James
Sunday School. It will consist of a con-
cert and supper, both of which will be
gotten up with a view to please. People
should remember that St. James Church
is young in years and needs assistance.
The prayerB of the righteous availeth
much, but a dollar or two besides goes a
a great way.
The Orphans' Fair will commence to-
morrow, and continue five days, in the
gas company's building on Market street,
near Bath Avenue.
Religions.
Trinity Chapel, West End.—The Rev.
S. M. Bird officiates atthiB chapel every
Sunday afternoon, at 4 o'clock.
Rev. John B. A. Alirens, of New Or-
leans, editor of Ver FamiUen Freund,
and the Rev. Mr. Schmidts, of Baltimore,
will preach in the German Methodist
Church, corner Avenue H aud Nineteenth
street, at 10:30 A. M. and 7:30 p. >x. to-day.
The Rev. Dr. Walker will deliver his
farewell sermon at St. John's Methodist
Church to-day. He leaves for Houston
to morrow morning to attend Conference,
and will be transferred by that body to
another field of labor.
Obstruction*.
Sidewalk obstructions may be Been on
Market street near Twentieth. Persons
desiring to pass that way can do so if
they know how to meander and under-
stand the aboriginal idea of single file.
The much vexed question as to how
sidewalk obstructions shall be prevented
seems to be no nearer a satisfactory set-
tlement than ever, and that, too, in the
face ot the law, which reads : " It shall
not be lawful for any person or persons
to ;encumber any street or sidewalk
within the limits of the city with cotton,
lumber, fire wood, carts, drays, wagons
or other articles, etc., etc."
Theatrical.
The final appearance of Mr. Wybert
Keeve and Miss Adelaine Stanhope was
made last night. The play was "The Bet-
ter Angel." Like all other performances
given by them upon previous occasions,
it was very successful. Throughout the
entire time of their stay in our city, the
impression made upon the public by Miss
Stanhope and Mr. Reeve has been alto-
gether a pleasant one. While the Fvtco
of Mr. Reeve will be remembered as
truly excelling, and in many respects
wholly surpassing, in point of compari-
son, most other actors who have assumed
the role, the Juiiet of MisB Stanhope will
nor be forgotton for its many fine points
and the beautiful manner in which the
several different traits of the character
were delineated. No more glowing tri-
bute could be paid to her than that paid
by the people themselves in granting
their presence each successive night.
Next Monday night will be the occa-
sion of Miss Bidwell's benefit. Then
will be presented for the first time in
this city, \ dramatization of the famous
novel by "Ouida," entitled "Strath-
more," No more fitting play could have
been selected for Miss Bidwell's benefit
She herself will assume the character of
Marian La Vaeat&ur. It is a beautiful
play, inwrought with interest and much
that is intended to captivate.
Miss Bidwell is so well thought of.and
such a favorite among Galveston'ians,
that no doubt many will be present with
her Monday night as an attestation of
their appreciation and esteem.
meeting or Trustee*.
A meeting of the trustees of the Pub-
lic Library was held at the office of
Messrs. Ballinger, Jack & Mott yesterday
afternoon. The following gentlemen were
present: Messrs. Mosebach, Hobby, Wal-
thew, Beers, Ballinger, Waul and Quin ;
Messrs. Sealey & Marlow being absent.
A permanent organization was effect-
ed, with Mr. Ballinger as President, and
Mr. Beers as Secretary. As is provided
by the ordinance, one of the trustees
chosen by the Aldermen, as well as one
from the number chosen by the citizens,
and also the Chamber of Commerce, shall
be elected to serve for a term of three
years, one also for a term of two years,
and one for one year.
The names of the following gentlemen
were drawn by lot to serve for such time
as is shown below :
Aldermen—George Sealy, three years:
Frank Marlow, two years; F. C. Mose-
bach, one year.
Chamber of Commerce—W. F. Beers,
three years; A. M. Hobby, two years; J.
M. Walthew, one year.
Citizens—W. P. Ballinger, three years;
M. Quin, two years; T. N. Waul, one
year. ,
On motion of Mr. Mosebach, a com-
mittee, consisting of Messrs. Mosbacli,
Quin and Hobby, was appointed to draft
by-laws, and report at the next meeting.
On motion of Gen. Waul, an executive
and financial committee of three was ap-
pointed to solicit subscriptions to pay
the debts of the Library, which amount
to about $500, and also to secure a suita-
ble hall for the Library, and report at the
next meeting. The following gentlemen
were named : Messrs. Walthew, Sealy
and Beers.
The trustees then adjourned, to meet
next Saturday evening at So'clock, at the
office of the Union Marine and Fire In-
surance Company.
Yaller Rose of Texas.
A youth in this city, a social spirit and
a gallant, will wear a "yaller rose of
Texas" on the lappel of his coat, with
two or three violets beside it, blushing
at the contrast. Good enough, though,
for it beats the " Belle of Tennessee."
Base Rail.
The Pastimes and Fly-Aways play to-
day at the Park, commencing at 2:30
1'. m.
The Centennial Base Ball Club of
Philadelphia are negotiating with the
Galveston clubs for games in March
next, after playing in New Orleans.
Lively times are looked for among the
ball-tossers.
Canght.
The boarding-house of Jim Wilson, a
member of the colored gentry, was
rather unceremoniously searched by a
couple of officers yesterday, where they
found, nicely tucked away under James'
bed, most of the clothes which were
taken from the Waters House a few
nights since. Mr. James Wilson was
lodged in jail. His first appearance will
be before the Recorder to-morrow morn-
ing. t
Child Lost.
A gentleman residing at the corner of
Broadway and Twenty-eighth street, re-
ported at the Police Station early yester-
day morning, that his little girl, about
two years of age, had strayed tway from
home and could not be found. Several
were on the alert, searching for the little
wanderer, and it had not been ascer-
tained last evening whether or not their
search had been of any avail. It is to be
hoped that there are no Gypaies about,
and it can fairly be presumed that the
little idler, which, perhaps, had strolled
away with some of her mates, has since
returned safely home.
Caution.
Often has the fact been noticed that
certain females had formed the habit of
perambulating the public streets at
night, and more especially in the early
part of the evening, and conducting
themselves in such a manner as not only
to attract the attention of others, but to
cause shame and regret at thsir actions,
Rarely an evening passes that this does
not occur. Their undue familiarity upon
such occasions, together with their loud
talking and boisterous conduct, has fre
quently given rise to the question, why
should this be tolerated V Strangers
visiting the city, more often than others,
are annoyed by these creatures. Re-
cently a prominent member of the clergy
from the interior of the State, while on
a visit to the city, and while strolling
leisurely alone one evening, enjoying a
walk down a public thoroughfare, was
much surprised at the manner in which
a woman acquainted herself by knocking
his hat from his head into the muddy
street. Although his silk hat was of
the finest quality, he was grieved not so
much at the loss as at the strange
and unaccountable conduct of the woman.
The determination on the part of the
officers of the law is, that such behavior
on the streets shall be stopped. They are
determined to arrest any and all such
persons who thus molest the peace, and
try them on the charge of vagrancy.
One unsuspecting individual has been
called upon to appear before a court
already, and although the fine in this
case was but a light one, a second offense
may demand that the extreme penalty of
the'law be enforced. The officers are on
the alert, and have undertaken a good
work.

Many things may not be worse than
useless when made in an unskillful man
ner, but the teeth are so identified with
the appearance, comfort, health and Ion
gevity of every person that they should
only be intrusted to a skillful and ex-

operations in the highest possible degree
of perfection. Dr. F. H. Knapp & Son

Grand Exhibition. — At Bauman's
Confectionery, No. 164 Market street,
daily to 10 p. m., from December 20 to
January 1,1875.
500 assorted large Fruit, Pound and
Sponge Cakes, ornamented in various
styles; also, Pyramids of every size and
style, Macaronis and Nougats. The con-
fections are made expressly for family
use. Having manufactured so many at
one time, it enables me to sell them at a
much lower price than any family or
party could make them. Every cake is
guaranteed to be first-class in every
respect. Samples of the cakes can be
tried at my store any time during the
exhibition.
This is a rare chance for housekeepers
to procure their Christmas cakes without
the trouble of making them. To those
who contemplate having parties, balls,
weddings, etc., I offer extra inducements,
My retail stock of Fine Candies is the
largest in the city. All are invited to
call on H. Bauman.
Notice.—Families wishing their cakes
ornamented can have them done from
50c to $1 50.
The subject of Sunday amusements
now being agitated in New York, is no
new theme, and even if it were, it should
not be confined to local limits, being a
very grave and serious matter, affecting
the whole country. Like most argu
ments, the question admits of strong
points on both sides, but the anti-amuse
ment advocates allege, very plausibly
that Sabbatarian diversions lead natur
ally to dissipation, and cite the statist!
cal record of crimes on Sundays as over-
reaching that of other days, the direct
result of free imbibations, superinduced
by the absence of church influences
Now.it is not drunkenness that is the
legitimate parent of evils, as it is the
poisons offered by the bar-room vendors,
that madden the brain and fire the
temper. And if those who lend them
selves to theBe indulgences would re
strict themselves to the use of such
liquors only as Gottschalk, of the Strand
keeps always on hand, Sunday pastimes
would be free from intoxication and
iniquity.
Grand gala night, Monday, Dec. 14.
While numbers of dry goods dealers
complain that " business is dull," etc.
the enterprising firm of I. Levy & Bro,
defy the situation, and meet the occa-
sion with a considerate modification of
their prices on everything, from the
plainest cotton goods to all the more
costly fabrics. The ladies are always
prompt to recognize and reward the lib-
erality of such a course, and conse
quently the courteous clerks at I. Levy
& Bro.'s have active employment, with
no time to waste gazing wistfully at the
customers they ought to have, as they
pass by. A lady wishing anything in
the dry goods line never passes I. Levy
& Bro.'s, for it is an established fact that
goods can not be bought cheaper else-
where, and until the close of the holidays
they can do better than ever,as during that
period they will not be allowed to find
fault with prices, and unless they actu-
ally wish to purchase, had better not
make any reasonable offer for goods, as
it will most certainly be accepted. A
chance in a fifty-dollar shawl falls to the
lot of every purchaser of ten dollars
worth of merchandise at I. Levy & Bro.'s
161 Market street.

The Waltham Watch Company.—
The watches made by the Waltham
Company have attained a popularity
never accorded to any other make, and
for the very excellent reason that all ar-
ticles sent out from the manufactory are
as near perfection as the very best of
material and most accurate workmanship
can produce.
The watches made by the Waltham
Company embrace every description,
size, price and design, from the cheapest
to the most expensive. The cheapest
watches are accurate time-keepers, and
the works will wear as long as if
higher price was demanded.
Watches are manufactured at the
Waltham Works expressly for use of
engineers, condoctors and travelers.
These watches are perfect in all their
details, and can be depended on in any
climate.
No other watch company makes
complete article, and purchasers should
always ask for the Waltham Watch,
full supply of which are always on hand
at the establishment of

The full, completed beauty

For hearts that burn toward heaven from

From the conflict ceasing never,
From the toil increasing ever?
From the hard and bitter battle with the cold

Will the hiils draw never nearer
Where the golden city glitters in its rainbow

Ah me, that golden city!

And the portal's golden shimmer.

A FLAINriVE DITTY OF THE " SEASON.
I vow it is a pity
That we followers of Chlty,
Or of Bl&ckstone, or of Kent, as the case may
be,
Shotild be cooped up in the city.
When our friend? and all the pretty
Girls are flirting at the springs and bathing in
the sea.
This morning, from my office,
I saw Bob Lucky doff his
Hat to Miss Carrie Knickerbocker, and speak
to her mamma,
Who is going with her daughters,
To drink the mineral waters
And try and find a husband for the elder at
the Spa.
And Bob will go to-morrow;
He's already been to borrow
The necesfary funds with which to pay his
way;
And, ten to one, the sinner,
Will be the man to win her;
Though none but his tailor will rejoice at thit,
they say.
So, you see my friends are leaving,
And I am left here grieving
In my dingy little office, with my eyes cast on
the floor.
My life, thus far. seems wasted;
My sandwich lies untasted,
And my office boy, unchided, spins his top
outside the door.
It's certainly but mean sport
To sit in the Marine Court—
'Though the name I must admit, savors
somewhat of the sea—
And wonder whether Blanche
Is waltzing at the Branch
With that odious Fitz Williams, oblivious of
me.
I can't endure this longer!
My love for Blanche is stronger
Than the interests of clients, if I had them by
the score;
So I've written a brief ticket-
On the office door I'll stick it;
It is worded thus: "Gone Courting. Will
remain ten days or more.
