Memorial Services.
The memorial services and funeral sermon
of Dr. George W. Peete were held at the Pres-
byterian Church Sunday morning.
The music by the choir was appropriate and
well rendered, while the prayers and scriptu-
ral readings were particularly suited to the
solemn occasion. The funeral sermon, by
Rev. Dr. Bunting, was one of his finest efforts,
and there were lew dry eyes when he con-
cluded.
In spit* of the drenching rain every] seat
was tilled, so great was the popularity of the
deceased, and bad the weather been more
propitious there would nt>t have been stand-
ing room after the hour for the services to
commence.
At the conclusion of the sermon, Rev. Dr.
Howard delivered an address on the lessons
of the storm and tho duties of tho churches
to the sufferers.
How to Amend the City Charter.
The fact appears to be unknown, or to have
been forgotten, that the Legislature, by act
approved April 24, 1874, enacted a law pro-
viding for amendments to city charters.
For general information the law is appended:
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the
State of Texas, Tbat whenever, In the judg-
ment of the Board of Aldermen of any incor-
porated town or city. It becomes necessary
or desirable to amend the charter of said
town or city, tho said Board of Aldermen
shall prepare suitable amendments to said
charter, and submit said amendments to the
qualified voters of said town or city ; pro-
vided, that in no Instance when the incorpo-
rated limits of any town or city shall be ex-
tended as herein provided for, shall it be law-
ful to tax the person or property embraced in
said extension, to pay toe then existing cor-
poration debt, unless the same is agreed to by
a two-thirds vote of the tax-payers embraced
in said extension.
Section 2. That said amendments shall be
printed and posted in said city or town, or
published in some newspaper In the county
where said town or city shall be situated, for
thirty days anterior to the day designated for
taking a vote thereon.
Section 3. Should a majority of tho votes
cast be in favor of said amendments, then
and in that event said amendments shall be
considered ratified and adopted and shall be
considered and held to be part of the organic
law of said town or city.
Section 4. That no amendment shall bo
proposed or submitted by any Board of £1
dermen which shall contravene or bo repug-
nant to the constitution or statute laws of
this State,
Section 5. That the election contemplated
by this act shall be conducted in all respects
as other elections for municipal officers in
said city or town as by law required to be con-
ducted.
Section 6. That this act shall take effect and
bo in force from and after it> passage.
Tremont Opera House.
Under the most favorable circumstances
the management would have reason to be
proud of the substantia! encouragement ex-
tended last night, but taken in connection
with the stringency of the times, following so
soon after the flood, and the fact that it rained
from early afternoon to close of the perform
auce, the occason was little less than an ova-
tion. Every seat in the parquette, dress
circle parquette tier were taken, and
standing roowt was scarcely to be found.
The entertainment was made up of songs,
dances, character aufg, musical solos and the
thousand and one transformations and spe-
cialties that go to make up & variety perforn*
ance. Some of the pieces were capitally ren-
dered ; some of them only passable, and at
least one that gave offense to refined feel
ings.
Mils Howitt has a voice of some compass
pretty well under control, and a rather dash-
ing and sprightly style. Miss Jourdan is a fair
actress, personates the young swell with good
effect, and makes her changes rapidly and
well. Miss Leigh sings a ballad with good
taste and Is a superb dresser.
Walter Bray, the comedian of the com-
pany, is too well known to require particular
notice. He Is equal to almost any emergency
and can fill, at an hour's notice, almost anv
position that tho business demands Mr
Kelly plays well on tho violin, the banjo and
concertina, and when occasion requires, per-
forms on two at a time. Mr. Turner fills his
allotted place with judgment and skill. Tho
musical director, Mr. Donniker, is a proficient
in his profession, and is. perhaps, the most
important personage connectod with the
company. The managers, Messrs. Sheridan
and Mack, take a full share of the entertain-
ment on their own shoulders, and render
acceptably all that they undertake.
The audience last night gave unmistakable
manifestlons of being pleased, and wo doubt
not but that most of them will bo in attend-
anceagain this evening, when the programme
will be changed and new features introduced.

tract if it was binding and full as to all neces-
sary particulars.
Tho City Attorney stated that the contract
was binding, and would hold the Gas Company
to a fulfillment of the terms as therein set

Alderman Boyd was desirous of making the
contract with the company, but he wished to
know exactly what light they agreed to fur-
nish, whether of one or fourteen candle
strength.
The vote was taken on the adoption of the
contract. Adopted by the Mayoi's casting

A daring burglary always creates a feeling
of distrust throughout.* community, but when
following oq the heeli of the minor attempts
at house-breaking, and in an entirely differ-
ent part of the city, the feeling of uneasiness
is doubly felt.
On Friday last Mr. J. Lieberman received
per the New Orleans fcteamer, a large stock
of goods, but that daybeing the lestival of
the. Jewish New Year, the goods were allowed
to remain in their boxes until Saturday, when
the work of unpacking aud marking began.
This was continued on Sunday until shortly
after noon, when a part only of the goods had
been unpacked and placed on the shelves.
The store wa3 closed about 2 p. m. and the
rest of the day the clerks had to themselves.
Monday morning, when the store was
opened, the shelves, which had been newly
packed with goods, were found to have been
emptied on the west side of the store, the
thieves commencing at the street door and
working backwards with the utmost delibera-
tion, showing that they had intended to make
a clean sweep.
The shelves referred to were filled with
woolen shirts, valued at about twenty dollars
per dozen, and of which some forty-four
dozen were stolen. Besides this several
dozen pairs of pants weie missed, as well as
other articles, but the full amount of the
goods lost can not be ascertained until the
bills for tho goods can bo received.

but two burglars
were engaged in the work, as is shown by the
mode of operating employed by the miscre-
ants. That they were not professionals is
also apparent from the traces they left behind
them—the door being very clumsily opened
after failures, and the. door being selected
which offered the most resistance.
The goods selected not being of the most
value, and the fact that no attempt was made
to force either the safe, which contained a
considerable sum of money, or the cash
drawer, which also had not been emptied into
the safe, as is the usual custom at pight—

It Is also apparent that the thieves wero
frightened away before they had finished their
proposed work, as goods were dropped from
the back door to where the tracks show the
cart stood near the gate in the yard. They
also dropped a hammer, a cold-chisel and a
large iron wrench with a handle some five
feet in length, whick are now at the police
office.
no clue.
Up to the present time the police have been
unable to gain any clue as to who were the
guilty parties.
One of the most remarkable facts of the
whole affair is that two clerks employed in
the store sleep in the room above, and were
not awakened by the thieves during the whole
time they were engaged in their work.
night, that officer Warner was obliged to ar-
rest him. His Honor asseseed the fine at
three dollars and costs, which he not being
able to obtain, he was oommitted to the city
coop for three days.
Peter Kennedy had two charges against
im, disorderly conduct and resistiog arrest,
but the Judge decided that the latter only
constituted a part of the former, and there-
fore fined the accuced five dollars and costs
or five days confinement.
John Darling was accused with being drunk
and disorderly. The accused is one of the
sailors on the San Antonio, and Captain Rea,
of that vessel, stated that the man had prom-
ised to do better in the future; so his Honor
assessed the lowest penalt/of the law, viz:
one dollar and costs, which the Captain paid.
John Piras, charged with being drunk and
down, was discharged, as the officer testified
that he was not disorderly but merely over-
come by the amount of liquor he had drank.
John Purceli and Frank JJavis, charged with
fighting; were fined $5 and costs each, which
they paid.
C. O. Peterson, charged with being drunk
and disorderly in the market, by using the
foulest kind of language to those present;
was fined $5 and costs or five days imprison-
ment.
Henry Young, a colored man, charged with
discharging firearms within the city limits;
explains that he was merely cleaning out a
Derringer, which had been wet, but the law is
very strict, and leaves no discretion to the
court, and he was therefore fined $5 and costs,
the lowest penalty.
Henry Davis, charged with abusing and in-
sulting P. Gray, had his case continued.
John Lavett, charged with being drunk and
unable, was discharged, as the proof was
that he was guilty of no disorder, but merely
overcome by the liquor he had drank.
Martinez was charged with being drunk
and disorderly.
The officer testified that the man was very
disorderly on Avenue L Sunday afternoon,
and that he was using such language as to
make himself a public nuisance.
Martinez pretended to not understand a
word of English, but he had talked too much
of tho language when drunk to play that
game successfully now, so he was fined $5 and
costs for his coilduct.
G. Peterson and Jesse Wamseck were
charged with abusing, insulting and assault-
in/? Joe West. The evidence showed that
West and his wife, both black, had been
grossly insulted and abused and West knocked
down by a party of roughs on Mechanic street,
but it was also proved, by three respectable
witnesses, that neither of the accused had
been near enough to the complainant to
strike or abuse him, and, in fact, that they
were quietly passing at the time alleged;
therefore, they were both honorably dis-
charged.
James Coffee, charged with being drunk
and disorderly, was discharged, as he was
guilty of no disorder.
The theft cases mentioned in Saturday's

Benefit of St. Mary's Orphan A sylnm
Eds. News—St. Mary's Orphan Asylum,
about four miles below the city, near the
beach, felt severely the ravages of the late
storm. A part of the buildings were wrecked
and mined, and the grounds made desolate by
the oversweeping waters. Its exposed posi-
tion caused surprise that all there did not
perish,' but the inmates were unharmed ex-
cept in the losses that deprived them of shel-
ter and subsistence. This institution has
about seventy-five orphan children, whose
parents were of various creeds. It was estab-
tished and sustained by the efforts of the Sis-
ters of Charity, whose lives are devoted to the
noblest charities, of which this is one.
Their unselfish mission is not confined to
any land or faith, but their good works are
known in every clime. They shrink from no
labor, however lowly; they know no discour-
agement, but quietly arid effectively relieve
suffering, provide for the distressed and
homeless little ones whose parents are in the
grave, and bestow their benefactions upon all
alike who are in sorrow and want. A blessed
reward in the life to come, for their ministra-
tions of mercy, *"u which all lofty self-sacri-
fice enters, is the meed of recompense they
hope for with unfaltering trust*
An entertainment, under the auspices of
the Catholic ladies of Galveston, will be
given at Turners' Hall, next Wednesday
evening, 6th instant. A beautiful little drama
will be presented by the orphans, and volun-
teers will appear in tableax and furnish
music.
The exercise* promise to be highly interest-
ing, and will well repay an attendance. Let
every onevwho can assist in this praiseworthy
benefaction, and help the children and good
Sisterhood in this the hour of their sorest
need. Let parents think of their own chil-
dren, should death deprive them of their nat-
ural protectors, and contribute gladly to the
cause of the maintenance and education of
these fatherless ones. A FRIEND.

notes of the storm taken by captain dev
# EREUX.
Report of the storm taken by Captain C. B.
Devereux, of the brig C. C. Robinson, from
New York, consigned to C. W. Adams & Co:
Monday, 13th September, came to anchor off
Galveston, east end. Bearing by compass
northwest by west; distance 12miles; weather
heavy ; a very threatening appearance.
Weighed anchor and put to sea.
Sept. 15th—Barometer falling Ja»t; a very
heavy sea struck the vessel, which washed
everything movable from the deck, including
the starboard anchor. Wiod east-northeast;
gale increasing fast; took all sail off the ves-
sel except three; reefed mainsail and main-
staysail. At 8 a. m. main-staysail blew away;
barometer very unsteady at 29.(K), and falling
fast. Every one busy throwing overboard
the deck load, which had got afoul of the run-
ning rigging. At noon the masts threatened
to go by the board. At 12:30 the wind and
sea was frightful; fore-topmast and all at-
tached went by the board, carrying with it
the main-topmast; cut away the wreck from
the vessel, as it was threatening to stave the
bulwaiks in; the wreck stuff drifted around
under the bow and carried away the jib-
boom. 10 p. M., mainsail blew away.
Midnight it was blowing a complete hurri-
cane, the center of which bore ESE., and no
veering of the wind taking place, but Increas-
ing in violence. Barometer down to 23.60.
Thursday, 16.—Still blowing a hurricane; a
heavy sea struck the vessel, starting top gal-
lant rail, staving in the after hatch. At 2 A.
m. another heavy sea struck the vessel att,
throwing two seameh over the wheel, leaving
them badly braised and unconscious; barom-
eter 28.01. At noon the center of the storm
Eassed over the vessel, it then being calm,
ut a tremendous heavy sea running.
At 2 p. m. the wind struck the vessel from
NNW. with terrific force, blowing complete
sheets of water all over the vessel. Barome-
ter down to 27.85.
Friday, 17th, 10 a. M.—Wind moderating; ba-
rometer going up fast.
At 4 p. M. barometer 28 60.
Saturday, 18th.—Blowing a very hard gale
from NW. Found that all tho sail had been
blown away except half of the -foresail and
jib topsail.
At 4 p. m. got an observation and found that
I was in latitude 20.30, longitude 95.15.
Sunday, 19th.—Got foresail repaired and
bent it, and found that the salt water had
penetrated the tanks, which rendered it im-
possible to driDk, except 100 gallons, which
was also brackish, drinking it almost prostra-
ting every one on board the vessel; and since
then have had heavy weather until I anchored
off Galveston bar, Oct 2d, at 11 A. m. The
vessel has remained through all the rough
weather perfectly tight.
Come Indorsed.
Hereafter no persons need apply for relief
except those who come properly indorsed by
some respectable citizen. Those indorsing
are earnestly requested to investigate the
actnal condition of the applicant. Only suf-
fers from the storm are entitled to aid.

THE COCttTS.
Justice.' Conits.
At JusTice Johnson's but one criminal case
was tried—The State vs. Eliza Brown, for
using abusive and insulting language toward
Aliza Jackson, and making threats against
her bodily safety. The evidence showing that
the charge was true, Eliza was placed under
a bond of $50 to keep the peace for twelve
months.
The usual civil business was transacted,
and two or three applications for relief at-
tended to.
At Justice Brosig's the only criminal case
was that of The State vs. Turner Roberts, for
assault and battery on Hattie Thomas. The
evidence was conclusive, and Roberts him-
self admitted his guilt, so the Judge fined
him three dollars and costs. When the fel-
low learned that his bill, including costs,
amounted to eleven dollars, he exclaimed :
" What! pay leben dollars for slappin' a
nigger. 1 doesn't do dat. I goes to jail
fUBt," and he did.
At Justice Hancock's there was no crimi-
nal business, only the regular routine work.
Recorder's Conn.
. Leslie Thompson, Recorder; E. O'C. Macln
erney, Clerk; A. H. Willie, Attorney.
Pinon, for abasing, insulting and threaten-
ing Mrs. McClellan, continued from Saturday,
was tried. The evidence for the prosecution
showed there had been considerable dispute
between the complainant and the colored
cook of the accused, on Wednesday last, and
the language used was calculated to perpetu-
ate hard feelings.
When Mr. Pinon returned home he found
his cook crying, and inquiring the cause, was
told that Mrs. McClellan had called her
harsh names, whereupon he called the
old lady out and proceeded to curse and
abuse her in a violent manner, threatening to
kick her if she ever meddled with his cook
again. The defendant's witness swore that
Mr. Pinon could not understahd English well,
and only intended to ask her why she called
his cook those names, but the excuse did not
have sufficient weight with His Honor to se-
cure an acquittal, and he was fined twenty
dollars arid cost, which he paid and departed,
with ominous looks towards the cause of his
trouble. "
Frank Smith, for disorderly conduct, by
throwing fish-bones in the market, while sit-
ting at a stall, was fined $5 and costs, or five
dais in the coop.
Gus Hewev, for disorderly conduct on the
street, was fined 85 and costs, which he paid.
George Taylor, for being drunk and disor-
derly, and creating a disturbance on Bath
Avenue, about midnight Saturday, was fined
55 and costs or five days imprisonment.
There is a hole in the floor of the old coop,
through which the negro women who are
confined in the coop call down to the men in
the market below. The most obscene lan-
guage is used by these parties, and Sunday
night offloer Lynch arrested Alf. Gardner and
Kobt. Smith for disorderly conduct, in an-
swering the women; they were fined $3 and
costs each, or three days confinement.
Wm. O'Brien, charged with disorderly con-
duct by cursing and swearing on the streets,
was fined thiee dollars and costs, or threo
davs.

brating his escape from the raging billows,

A Duel at San Franclaco.
[From the San FraOeisco Bulletin.]
On Tuesday afternoon John Whalen
and Joel Lindsar, two practitioners in
the Police Court, had some words in re-
gard to the election, which ;so wounded
the sensitive soul of Lindsay that he de-
clared nothing but blood would atone for
the insult, and to bring about an oppor-
tunity to assuage his sanguinary threat,
he sought the counsfel and asai stance of
Edward Dudley, a son of old Dudley,
who readily promised to stand by -him,
first taking the precaution to arrange
with Colonel Lee that the latter should
act as second for Whalen. Whalen ac-
cepted the challenge, an i tho parties last
evening repaired to a small ravine near
Lake Merced, where the principals were
stationed opposite each other at 20 paces.
The dueling pistol with which each was
armed, teing heavily charged with gun-
powder only, in accordance with the un-
derstanding between the seconds, though
of course unknown to the principals.
About this time,Mr. Oreen, the owner of
the ground, who is also a special police-
man, interrupted the proceedings, and
had to be let into the secret of the liarm-
lessness of the weapons before he would
permit the deadly conflict to proceed.
The word being given, both parties
blazed away, but without effect, and
piBtols were reloaded in the same mar
ner. A second exchange of shotB was
had, with the same result, whereupon
Liindsey became excited, and pulling out
a huge revolver with which Dudley had
provided him, he commenced blazing
away, the little crowd breaking
for shelter in all directions, the sui-
geon being foremost in getting be-
hind a bush. Finally Lindsey was
seized and disarmed, when it was found
that the pistol furnished him had also
been loaded with blank cartridges. By
this time the bloodthirsty young men be-
gan to see how ridiculous the whole thing
appeared, and after a drink or two at
the Ocean House, they shook hands and
returned to the city. On the way back
Lee managed to upset the buggy con
taining himself and his principal, bruis-
ing the latter pretty severely. Aside
from being the laughing stock qt the
town, the young cavaliers have rendered
themselves liable to prosecution in send
ing and receiving' a challenge. Coun-
selor Clarke is no believer in such torn
foolery, and in a few days all the legal
lore of the pseudo-combatanta. may be
requisite to rescue them from tlie conse-
quence of the ridiculous attempt to re-
vive the customs of the departed age of
honor.
A missionary meeting was held on
Wednesday at Baltimore. The Eev. Mr,
Graybill, a missionary stationed in Mex
ioo under direction of the Southerfi Pres
byterian Board of Home and Foreign
Missions, delivered an address on the
moral and religious condition of the peo-
ple of Mexico. Mr. Graybill has been at
work a year and a half, and bis field is
confined to the two cities of Matamoras
and Brownsville, on opposite sides of the
Rio Grande. He reports that he has suc-
ceeded in establishing at Matamoras a
church with regularly ordained elders
and deacons, and a membership between
fifty and sixty. He has organized several
schools in the same city, and has under
him two native helpers of more than
usual promise.
The means of boring through moun-
tains have been greatly perfected of late
years. The boring of tlie Mount Cenis
tunnel advanced at the rate of four yards
a day; that of the St, Gothard now goes
on at about ten yards daily, and will be
completed, according to contract, by the
23d of August, 1880. The total length of
the St. Gothard tunnel will- bo 15,041
yards.

Dodge, Sept. 30, 18T5.
Eds. Kews—Ot course, amidst all the de
vastation caused by the lata storm, we
could not expect to come out soot-free, but
the general impression Is that we are not
near as badly hurt as was at first supposed.
Good judges say the cotton crop is damaged
about one-third.
The first day of the storm a boy about 12
years of age, who lives with Mr. N. P. Miller,
a few miles south of this station, was coming
into town on horseback, when a tree in fall
ing struck him, breaking his thigh. The lit-
tle fellow crawled about fifty yards, trying to
catch his horse; but failing in that he man-
aged to climb on a stump, where he was
found by some parties driving through the
woods. The boy was taken home, but died of
his injuries a few days after
a young man named Vann, living north of
tewn, in jumping over a ditch, managed to
break one of his legs.
