Jciremoii Iron.
l)r. A. S. lluey, of Jefferson, exhibited
in this office yesterday a specimen of
Iron from the Jefferson Iron Works.
This iron is said to be fully equal to the
Scotch pig. The works have been in
operation about fifty days, and have a
capacity of from twelve to fifteen tons
day. The company owns 14,000 acres of
land, all of which is iron land. The iron
now being used is on the surface and in
the form of boulders. The whole is cov-
ered with wood, believed to be sufficient!
for ten years' use. The iron is made en-
tirely with charcoal. Should this iron
prove to be as represented, and as we
hope it will, the enterprise will be of
great benefit to the whole State. We
know of no reason why a State so rich
in ores as is Texas should depend on
others for her metals.
A Special Term
Of the United States Pistrict Court
will probably be held in this city in Oc-
tober, to appoint supervisors of the elec-

first rack—second class.
Notwithstanding the uncomfortable
h<*ir at which the second class sailing
vessels started, a large number of spec-
ta'ors gathered upon Kuhn's Wharf to
w tnees the " go." It was a little after
it a. m. when the boats got away, which
tliejr did in tolerably good order, occupy-
ing the following positions, number one
t»ing nearest the wharf:
1. Sloop Lily.
2. Catboat La Coquette.
3. Catboat Surprise.
4. Sloop Little Pove.
5. Sloop Alice.
6. Sloop Whitney.
The boats held well together until they
nmred the first stake-boat, when the Lily
slowed in advance, with the Whitney
i"um behind. Thus they turned, the
''•her boata keeping well up. Soon after
tie turn, and the vessels had. straight-
ened out. Surprise took the wind hand
*-mely, overhauling Whitney and as
aiming the second place. Abreast of
1 ellcan Island the boats stood as fol-
hws: Lily first. Surprise second, Whit-
ney third, Alice fourth, and La Coquette
fifth.
After this nothing could be distin
KulaluMl, though as far we could learn
tiiey continued to hold these positions
during the remainder of the race. They
came in past the house stake boat as
follows:
Lily, first—time, 2h. 31 m. 20s.; Sur
prise, second—time, 2h. 44m.; Whitney,
third—time, 2h. 55m. 21s.; Alice, fourth—
time, 3h. 24m. 55.; La Coquette, fifth—
time, 3h. 45m.
SECOND RACE—FIRST CLASS.
The crowd had greatly increased by
the time that had been announced for
the start of the first-class boats, but the
vind being brisk, it was several minutes
before the impatient crafts could be made
to keep in steady position. Finally, they
look their places as follows—number one
being, as above, nearest the wharf:
1. Sloop Nellie.
2. Languy Fanquy.
3. Sloop Florence.
4. Sloop Magic.
5. Nonpareil.
0. Rattler.
7. Mattie.
8. Ella.
Considering the number of boats and
the freshness of the breeze, the start was
'air. Ella took the lead, Magic next,
vith Nonpareil, Mattie and Nellie close
behind.
FIRST STAKE-BOAT,
Nellie, Nonpareil and Ella turned the
itake-boat together, followed by Magic.
Florence, Fanquy and Rattler in that or-
der. The Magic took the lead on the
turn. At a point half-way between the
first and second stake boats, Nellie sailed
to the front handsomely, Mattie showing
second, Nonpareil third, Magic fourth,
Florence fifth, Ella sixth, Fanquy sev-
enth, and Rattler eighth. The wind was
fair and the boats acted well, being
straightened out and having an opportu-
nity to take the bearings of the situation.
Nonpareil added sail and began to con-
test heartily for the second place, which
she Boon took, after a hard struggle on
the part of Mattie. Just before near-
ing the stake-boat, Florence began to
gain, and soon she drew up abreast of
Magic.
SECOND STAKE-BOAT.
Nellie passed the second stake boat
first, about five hundred yards ahead of
her nearest competitor. Nonpareil turned
second, Mattie third, Magic fourth, Flor-
ence fifth—a length or two behind Magic
—Fanquy sixth, Klla seventh and Ilatllci
eighth.
Soon after passing " the Btake-boat,
Florence took the fourth place and Magic
fell into her wake. Nellie still continued
to hold her position handsomely, and
kept gaining on all but one of her com
petitore. Florence was now up and do-
ing, striving for the third position, which
she took, leaving Mattie to the winds
and waves, and putting hard down after
Nonpareil. The latter soon succumbed
to fate, and Florence, giving her the mit
ten, struck away beautifully after Nellie.
Nellie, nothing daunted, still held her
own, and continued to increase her dis
tance.
The following is the order in which
the boats passed the lighthouse: Nellie
first, at 12:14 o'clock; Nonpareil second;
four and a half minutes later; Florence
third, five and a half minutes later; Mat.
tie fourth, eight and a half minutes later.
Magic fifth, .nine and a half minutes
later; Fanquy sixth; Ella seventh, and
Rattler eighth.
THIRD STAKE-BOAT.
Here Florence passed Nonpareil and
began to sail energetically for the front.
There was a stiff breeze from the south-
east, and the boats, for the first time, be~
gan to tack. Florence now began to show
her superiority, and crossed the bow of
Nellie by a close shave on the first tack-
Nonpareil gained distance, and after the
third tack took the second place, Flor-
ence being first and Nellie third. After
the third stake boat was passed, it became
evident that the race lay between these
three boats, and before Florence reached
the red buoy or the
FOURTH BTAKE-BOAT
The day was conceded to her by her
competitors. From this point Nellie flew
before the wind, and began rapidly to
gain lost distance. Nonpareil had a good
lead and was sailing finely, but Nellie
was at her work, and passed the home
stake-boat third in order, but second best
by the closest shave—winning the place
by reason of the time due her from Non-
pareil on account of the difference in
their lengths.

Afternoon Races.
Bo far the largest assemblage that has
witnessed the boat races came together
last evening on Kuhn's Wharf. The eve-
ning air was fresh from the east, and
everything seemed to combine to make
the afternoon all that could be desired.
The ladies were largely in attendance
and every foot of space on the outer edge
of the wharf was occupied.
Capt. Wm. Boyd was everywhere pres-
ent, and to his efforts and those of the
committees is due the fact that nothing
occurred to mar the pleasures of the
evening.
At 5:20 the report of the gun announced
th:.t the single sculls were off and the
first race of the evening had begun.
There were three entries;
Effle and Jack O*Lantern.
The start was good, Puke B. taking the
lead at the first half mile. Jack O'Lan-
tem then came to the front and held it,
passing the stake-boat first, followed by
Puke B. and Effie in that order.
The boats ran In this manner until they
neared Kirker's wharf, when Puke B.
came forward under an increase of
stroke, and from that point began to con-
test with Jack o' Lantern for the honors.
A few more strokes decided the question,
and Puke B. passed the stake-boat win-
ner by one-half length. Time—Twenty-
five minutes.
The second race for four-oared boata
came next in order, with entries as fol-
lows : Gipsy, Jennie and Boyd.
Gipsy took the lead on a fair start.
Soon after Jennie gained the second
place, leaving Boyd third. No material
change occurred in their positions during
the remainder of the race, Gipsy show-
ing about two lengths ahead at the stake-
boat, and Boyd turned eight lengths be
hind Jennie. On the home-stretch Boyd
lost distance, while Jennie failed to bet
terlier condition. Gipsy came in easy
winner. Time—17 minutes.
In the third race there were three en-
tries, Gipsy, by the Alerts; Jennie, by the
Police Crew; Gussie McKernon, by the
Washington Crew. Gipsy got a little
advantage on the start, but lost it at the
first half, where Gussie McKernon took
the lead, leaving Jennie in well behind,
and a bad third.
At the stake-boat, Gipsy and Gussie
turned together. After a Bhort and
spirited contest, Gussie gave her water
to Gipsy, and came down the home-
stretch closely followed by her lively
competitor. From the third half mile
the race was very exciting, and but for a
timely spurt on the part of the crew,
Gussie would have passed the stake-
boat winner, perhaps, but by less than
the fifteen seconds which she had to
space. Time—16 minutes.
This, it may be noted, is the best time
that has yet been made around the
course.
tub tub race.
Five entries—Alexander Nichols, John
Boyd, The. Ayres and Mr. Pyer. The
tubs got away handsomely, John Boyd
showing to some disadvantage, as he dis
appeared under the water.
The. Ayers stepped out—accidentally
—Mr. Pyer showing his rear in the third
place just as he went down to catch
'* crab," John Hitchcock making a spurt
for his paddle, which had taken water,
and Alexander Nichols dry as a bone and
skimming the sea like a duck.
At the Btakeboat Alex, was a splendid
first, John second, and Boyd coming up
with hiB tub in one hand and paddle in
the other. He wanted third, but they
ruled him out, and awarded the prize to
Nichols for his excellent display of tub-
manship.

Fire.—Yesterday morning a fire broke
out in an old wooden building on Milam
street, near the market, belonging to Mr.
S. Pristin, and used as a soda water
manufactory. The engines were out in
time, but not soon enough to prevent the
entire destruction of the building. The

on the third seven years. On the fourth
indictment he was found not guilty.
Among the robberies perpetrated by
Roberts was that of Messrs. Bollfross &

one of the last of the burglars who
raised such a hubbub in Houston in June
last.
Gone Up.—Yesterday county scrip
was quoted at 85c, ha7ing been quoted at
40c. and 45c. at the close of the iate Rad-
ical administration.

Must either hold or driye;
Be that by hia biz would rise
Must either burst or advertise,
and that is the reason why Mason, who
does not mean to burst, advetises all
sorts of Sunday reading for the blessed
Sunday morning. He has all the Sep-
tember magazines, and late books till you
can not Bee. The school books, which will
arrive at the Independent School Book
Headquarters by the next steamer, will
be something mountainous to lodk at.
An enterprising man may purchase
a cheap business at auction by C. F.
White & Co.
Stammering Cured.—Pr. Harvey, of
Virginia, has opened an office at room
No. 14, Cosmopolitan Hotel, where he
will remain for ten days only, for the
purpose of curing stammering, an im
pediment of speech, loss of voice, etc. A
cure in every case. Those aifilcted will
do well to call at once.
The Live Fish Retreat is for sale by
C. F. White & Co.
The sovereign whose sway is mildest,
and whose utterances, although occasion-
ally given forth stutteringly, are alwayB
grateful to the subjects, is that sovereign
soda fountain of G us McKernon's, on the
corner of Tremont and Church streets.
Every visitor to the city should see this
marvel of a marble soda monument.

Our Congresnlonsl Nominee.
The Houston Age, speaking of the
nomination of Judge Hancock, says
that he was not the choice of that
paper, but that it has no right to utter
one word of complaint in regard to
him, and has no doubt that he will meet
with a hearty support from all parts of
his district, and that his election is
already assured. The Dallas Herald
says:
It gives us great pleasure to chroniclc
the nomination, and to express our
earnest conviction that the Fifth Dis-
trict has put her best man forward.
The course of Hancock in the past is
the surest guarantee of what his future
will be. If anything for the prosperity
of Texas can be secured by unremitting
attention to his duties, his constituents
may rest assured that Hancock wi!l
secure it.
The Houston Telegraph says:
The nomination of Hon. John Han-
cock as the Democratic candidate for
Congress from the Fifth District will
give very general satisfaction through-
out the State. In this action, the Fifth
responds very heartily to the Third
District, and strikes hands with the
broad-minded and liberal men of the
State. A rebuke has been administer-
ed to wire-workers and filibusters,
which we hope will have a good effect
in the conventions that are to follow,
The struggle was severe and protracted,
but, as will ever be the case when their
representatives are earnest and devoted,
the people have come out victorious.
We regard the nomination of Mr.
Hancock as the very best that could
have been made. He has ability of
more than an average grade, and his
legislative experience will give him
more influence and weight than eould
possibly have been commanded by any
new man.
Humorous.
It does not follow that a loaf of bread
is inhabited because there is a little
Indian in it.
" Tom, what in the world put matri-
mony into your head?" "Well, the
fact is, I was getting short of shirts."
Affectionate little girls do not bury
their dolls now-a-days. They cremate
them, and keep the ashes in a toy
sugar-bowl.
A Detroit father keeps his boy in
nights by varnishing a chair and sit
ting him down. It is a novel plan
but awful tough on the trowsers.
A New York paper gravely observes
that the suicide of a farmer, which it
notices, " is singularly strange, inas
much as he was not in the habit of
doing such things."
An Illinois editor returns thanks for
a centipede sent to him by mail from
Texas, "It being," he says, "thefirst
cent of any kind that we have received
for several weeks."
A Milwaukee woman, far gone with
consumption, begged the doctor to
give her something that would keep
her up until the verdict of the Beecher
Committee was published.
According to the census there are
only two men in America who make a
specialty of the manufacture of hand
organs, and yet they still live and are
free from the fear of assassination.
A Delaware man thrashed his wife
almost to death because their baby
didn't get a prize at the baby show,
and then he offered to trade the baby
for a pig.
A painter being asked to estimate
the cost of painting a certain house,
drew forth pencil and paper, and made
the following calculation; "A nought
is a nought: three into five twice you
can't—I'll paint your house for fifty
dollars."
An inveterate toper, in a locality
where the ardent was under ban. Dut
some rock candy in a bottle, rubbed
the neck with camphor, and then had
the druggist fill it with whisky, the
wife of the purchaser was "troubled
so much with the headache."
An Ottumwa boy charged a stump
with blasting powder, attached a fuse
to blow it up, and got on the fence to
see the fun. He isn't collected eaough
yet to tell how funny it was, although
the citizens are collecting him in dif-
ferent parts of the suburbs.
While a youthful couple were being
joined in wedlock in a justice's court,
in New York, the damsel rather aston-
ished a number of spectators by sud-
denly breaking out with: "I want to
know whether we are to keep house or
board, before going into this thing!"
Says The Arizona Miner: "It is a
beautiful sight to attend an Arizona
wedding. The bride in white —the
happy groom—the solemn minister—
the smiling parents, and from twenty-
five to forty shot guns standing against
the wall ready for use, make up a
panorama not soon forgotten."
An Eastern paper tells a story of a
young woman of Brattlesboro, who
seut a friend to buy her a pair of
shoes: "She told her friend to get
number fives, but her friend, being
anxious to secure a good fit for her,
ordered the storekeeper to change the
marks on a pair of sevens. He did
so, and the lady said they fitted better
than any she had had for along time."

the interest of all concerned, that it must
meet the approval of all. The day is now ab-
solutely fixed, and there will be no variation
from the programme now announced. A suf-
ficient number of tickets had been sold to
have enabled us to have had a large drawing
on the 31st July, but a short postponement
was considered preferable to a partial draw-
ing. Let it be borne in mind that
