CITY INTELLIGENCE.
The Rail Thnrnday Night.
Despite the inclemency of the weather
the complimentary ball tendered the
Grand Lodge, I. O. O. F., at Turner's
llall, Thursday night, was well attended.
In fact, it was a rarely brilliant assem-
blage, and an occasion at which the par-
ticipants enjoyed themselves thor-
oughly, The handsome regalias of the
members and officials of the Order, added
to the magnificent wardrobes of tlio la-
dies, formed an imposing en»eml>le.
During the evening several impromptu
speeches were made by prominent gen-
tlemen, among whom were Judge Ilar-
court, Mr. Herring, of Waco, and Mr.
Miller. The supper was gotten up under
the direction of Mr. l>auman,and reflect-
ed mi'cli credit upon that gentleman's
taste as a caterer. The assembly did not
disperse until nyar dawn this morning.

foot of Sixth street. The deceased ap-
peared to be about thirty years of age,
live feet hix inches high, arid from his

man or deck baud on a steamer. On
searching his pockets the sum of four
dollars and live Cents was found.

At the opening of the court yesterday
morning, Col. George Flournoy, of the
counsel for tne State in the above cause,
offered the following affidavit in response
to the allegations set forth by the defense
in support of their motion for a change
of venue:
The State of Texas, County of Galves-
ton—We, the undersigned, after 'having
been duly sworn, do depose and say on
oath, that we ara citizens and residents of
said county and State, and have resided
therein for more than two years last past,
aud since the prosecution was begun in
the case of the State of Texas against
Andrew J. Walker and Jeff Black, No.
2323 ; that we are acquainted with the
public sentiment and feeling existing in
the County of Galveston respecting said
deponents and the said cause, wherein
the defendants are charged with the mur-
der of Green Butler, and that we ara sat
isfied there is no such prejudice against
them, said defendants, as to prevent their
obtaining a fair and impartial trial iu the
County of Galveston.

After a prolonged argument, which oc-
cupied the entire forenoon, ujiol' the mo-
tion of defendants aud the counter affi
davit presented by -the counsel of the
State, liis Honor overruled the motion
fer n change of venue, to which ruling
of the court the defense asked leave to
file exceptions. T liis matter having been
disposed of, the court took a recess until
3:30 p. m.
Upon reassembling the counsel for the
defense filed a motion for a continuance
of the case, upon the alleged abscuce of
a mat-rial witness, Wm. McFadden, who
was supposed to be in Jefferson County,
Texas, and not absent by the consent of
the defendants. The motion set forth
that the defendants proposed to prove
by the taid McFadden that, at the time
the murder was alleged to liavo been
committed that they, the said defend
ants, were about seven miles distant,
and that said testimony could not lie
obtaini d from any otber source.
The counsel tor the State liled excep
tions to the consideration of said motion
that the said motion was made after the
announcement of ready for trial ; after
arraignment, and the plea of "not guilty"
had been entered, and disposition of the
motion for a change of venue
Judge Cleveland, on the part of the
defense, denied that they hail announced
themselves "ready for trial."
Major McLemore admitted that no such
announcement liai been orally made ;
but that the proceedings had iu the cause
were equivalent to such announcement.
After a lengthy nrgutnent, the court
sustained the exceptions and denied the
motion of defendants.
The counsel for the defense gave notice
of exceptions to the ruling of the court,
Colonel Manly, on behalf of the de-
fense, asked for a severance, which, be-
ing granted, the District Attorney an-
nounced that the defendant, Andrew J.
Walker, would be placed on trial first.
The District Attorney asked the op-
posing counsel if they were ready for
trial, to which Judge Cleveland replied ;
" We aie not."
These preliminaries being settled, the
Sheriff then proceeded to call the venire
for jurors
At the hour of adjournment, the fol-
lowing named gentlemen had been ac-
cepted as jurors :
C. 11. Whitesides, plasterer; Alfonse
Lauve, bank cashier; Ilenry Pendleton,
book-keeper; A. Kenison, insurance
agent; C II. Ruff, lumber dealer; J. II.
McC'all, book-keeper; C. II. Lee, merchant.
The Sheriff was instructed by tha
Court to summon another venire of sixty
men. The jurors were then placed un-
der the charge of the Sheriff, with strict
instructions not to allow tliem to sepa-
rate.
The Court then adjourned till 11 A. M.
tliis day.
The Opera House.
Such a combination of crowded and
fashionable audiences as have attended
Miss Thompson's performances have not
been known in our city. Stellar at-
traction, as a rule, has opened to compa-
ratively fuil houses, but the audier.ces
diminish as the engagement draivs t"-
ward completion. This has not been the
case with the Thompson Troupe, their
business lias been continuously great,
Inst night culminating in an overflowing
house to witness "Mcphisto," the new-
est burlesque in the repertoire of the
company; and to say that satisfaction
was derived from the performance is not
going far enough in expressing the feel-
ing of the audience—delight and pleasure
was depicted upon every countenance,
and the universal regret is that Miss
Thompson . an not remain longer with
us? To-night closes her engagement,

tantly compelled to bid her farewell, as,

of the present season, she withdraws

CITY CONVENTION.
Four Candidates for the
City Council Nom-
inated.
The City Convention met at half-past
seven last night. Dr. Massie in the
chair, and Mr. Menard, Secretary.
The Chairman, Dr. Massie, stated the
object of the convention to be the nomi-
nation of four aldermen—one from each
ward of the city. He hoped that hcr-
mony and conservative action would
characterize the deliberations of the
convention; delegates knew the feeling
of the people, and he hoped that good
and true men would be put in nomina-
tion. If acceptable men were nom-
inated, the harmony and unity of the
Democratic party would be assured: if
men who did not meet the approbation
of the public were placed in the field, a
disruption of the Democratic party was
almost certain. He would like to see
every nationality and every interest rep-
resented in the Board of Aldermen. All
that was required was, that the nominees
should possess the qualifications of capa-
city and integrity.
The minutes of the previous session of
the convention were read and approved.
The two-third3 rula was declared to bo
in iorce in making nominations.
Nominations for the First Ward were
declared in order. The Chair named
Geu. DeBray and Mr. Clougli tellers.
Mr. Mar'.ow and Capt. Quin were put in
nomination.

A motion was made to make the nom-
ination unanimous.
Mr. Kelley said ho could not vote to
make tlio nomination uiianimrus. He
not think the nomination one that would
meet tho approbation of the voters of the
city. He did not think that Mr. Marlow
possessed the qualifications necessary to
make an Alderman of the city of Galves-
ton, and he wanted it understood that he
did not feel bound by the nomination.
Mr. Pentony said that Mr. Marlow was
the choice of some of the best men of the
ward; he was president of the ward
club; an honest, sober and industrious
man, and if he was poor, it was his mis
fortune and not his fault, and he thought
he had sufficient intelligence to make a
good alderman.
Dr. Massie desired to bear testimony
to the character and integrity of Mr.
Marlow ; ho had known him longer than
most of the peoplo of the city, and
thought liini possessed of about as much
intelligence as most members of the
Board of Aldermen.
General DeBray was nominated for the
Second Ward.
The General requested his friend to
withdraw his name, aud give the uomi
nation to s. uie man who was possessed
of sufficient property to givo him an in-
terest in the affairs of the city. It was
due to the property owners that they
should have representatives in the
Board of Aldermen. The General
suggested the nomination of Mr.
Girardin. who was a large prop-
erty owner, a man who had
great deal of popularity, and who would
make an excellent alderman. For him
self, he had no interest in the city which
bound him to it: he had no property,and
no family, and he thought it was a mis
take to ignore men who hail property in
terests in tha city, in making nomina-
tions. He was not an aspirant for office,
and sincerely hoped the friend who had
suggested him would withdraw his name.
Mr. E. S. Wood was put in nomination.
The name of Captain Fulton was sug-
gested. The Captain respectfully de
clined the use of his name.

ocracy of the Third Ward was entitled
to a representative in the Council, and he
would present a man who would be ac-
ceptable to all; U- would name Martin

cine several years ago, on a rigid inquiry
into all the evidences b »th for and
against him,
