by the addition of ten patrolemen to

have little chance to ply their respective
trade?.
The Cottlngbam Caae.
James Cottingham, who made an as-
sault upon Tom Tydings about two
months ago, was tried in the Criminal
Court yesterday. The charge named in
the indictment was assault with intent to
murder, but the jury gave a verdict of
aggravated assault, and assessed the pun-
ishment at one year's imprisonment in
the county jail and a fine of $500.
Runaway.
A mule attached to a dray rushed
wildly through the business portion of
tiie city yesterday, scattering men and
other mules—this does not refer to the
men—and giving a tone of life and activi-
ty to the streets such as has not been wit-
nessed since the circns was here, When
last seen the mule was making for the
suburbs, where probably his grain inter-
ests lie.
Base Ball.
On Sunday afternoon the celebrated
Deaison Blue-stocking Base Ball Club
will open a series of games with the
Galveston nines.
The Denison club will arrive to-day.
Their reputation in the State is one of
which any clnb may be proud, and,
flushed with many victories, they come
bere fully equipped and determined to
go in and win.
Arreata.
A youth, named Pink Gibbs, was ar-
rented yesterday for assaulting and cut-
ting a person whose name is not known.
Mattie Nelson, a colored cyprian, at-
tacked a man on Postoffico street last
night, and, drawing a pistol, fired at him,
but without effect. She was arrested,
and will be examined this morning on a
charge of assault with intent to murder.
Almost a Fire.
A coal oil lamp exploded at the store
of Mr. Pelan, on Market street, between
Bath Avenue and Twenty-fourth street,
last night.
Phenix Hook and Ladder Company
No. 2 were on the spot almost instantly
after the cry of fire. For a time the
danger was very great of a general con-
flagration. But thanks to the prompt-
ness of this company and the exertions
of neighbors, the fire was suppressed
without making any headway. No alarm
was sounded.
Alledged Abduction.
R. F. Cordua swore out a warrant of
arrest before Justice Hancock yenterday.
against Mrs. Lewis, Nettie Lewis and
Annie Mullone, alias Annie Johnson.
He charges the parties with kidnap-
ping a young girl, Maggie Marlines, who
was living at his house, and had been
raised by him from her birth.
Justice Hancock required bonds from
all parties concerned, to appear for ex-
amination bafore him on Monday at 3
P. M. I
Almost a Fight.
Market street was thrown into a state
of excitement yesterday, about 4 o'clock
p. m„ on account of a collision between
several parties who wished to settle up
old scores. The person attacked ran into
a prominent dry goods establishment for
protection against his adversaries, who
were three or four in number. Being
pressed he drew a weapon in defense of
himself, and immediately the store was
cleared of clerks, with one exception.
This exception was asked by some one
if he desired to fight, but before he had
time to answer, a pale gentleman next
door drew forth a whistle and set the
neighorhood agog with the most un-
earthly noises. They were not without
their effect, however, for an officer
stepped upon the scene and led the fes-
tive youths to the station house.
After they were gone brave men sprang
from all sorts of out of the way places
aDd formed a group, talking and gesticu-
lating in a manner somewhat similar to
the illustrious Don Quixote at the wind-
mill.
Theatrical.
" Henry IV " should have attracted a
large audience. At the presentation of
such a play, and one ao seldom put upon
the Btage, the Tremont Opera Hooae last
night should have been literally packed-
Falntaff, it is said, was Shakespeare's
favorite. The traits of this monstrous
knight are those of pure nature, and it is
thought that Shakespeare's mind was re
fleeted in this creation. Whether this is
true or not is immaterial, but certainly it
is a character which serves well to illus
trate the universal genius of the great
writer, as well as the quick, bold, de
cisive imagination which enabled him to
produce men of such extraordinary qual-
ities, of stature so huge and yet so clear-
cut.
Falttaff has been spoken of as possess-
ing the passions of an animal, coupled
with gigantic intellect, tireless fancy and
unfailing wit. He is an incessant talker.
He never is without an answer. Lie he
will, and lie he does, until lies seem to
live and fructify within him. He is a
swindler, often a thief. He loves money,
and out of the sixty odd numbers of
ways of making it " the honestest way
was by sly theft." He is a wicked man.
Conscience ends at a certain point, and
he carries out his wickedness with little
aspiration for being just or unjust.
This huge fellow, a coward, a jester,
swearer and boaster, never grows repul-
sive. At most be is a knight and ap-
pears well-bred and courteous.
A man, then, who can develop a genn-
ine portraiture of Falttaff's life in its
several wide and varied phases, surely
can not fail to amuse, delight and win
the appreciation of the audience. This
was done by Mr. DeBar last night in a
manner well nigh perfect. It met with
a more general acceptance than did his
Falttaff in the "Merry Wives of Wind-
sor."
The support added much to the whole,
as it was much better than usual.
Mr. ^Thornton's fPrince of Wales was
very pleasing, unaffected but natmal.
To-night Mr. DeBar will make his last
appearance in Galveston for this Beason.
Are the public aware that we are having
presented here the very best star actors
in the country? Mr. DeBar will make
his last appearance in his great creation
of Sluetirin, in the drama off' Jack Shep-
pard."
Sand Pirates.
Seven men were arrested yesterday
for removing sand from private property
on the beach. The matter will be inves-
tigated this morning by the Recorder.

Dk. E. de F. Ccbtis, having devoted
twenty years of his practice to the re-
moval and permanent cure of all cases
of exhausted vitality, premature decline
and nervous debility, is fortified in a con-
viction of his perfect ability to root out
the seed of all such distressing ailments
and to restore the patient to a condition
of established health and strength. Dr.
Curtis's stay in Galveston is positively
limited to November 29.
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 lon-
gevity of every person that they should
only be intrusted to a skillful and ex-
perienced dentist, who will perform the
operations in the highest possible degree
of perfection. Dr. F. H. Knapp & Son
are now at the Girardin House, prepared
to perform all operations in dental sur-
gery. <
Tiie Union Prayer Meetings for-
merly held in the Episcopal Church
tower, under the name of the Working-
men's Prayer Meetings, are now held
every Saturday, from 8 to 9 p. m., at the

sociation, No. 167 Postoffice street, be-
tween Twenty-first and Twenty-second
streets. Members of all denominations
are earnestly invited to attend, and a
special invitation is extended to strangers.
The Corner Stone
Of the new building now being erected
for Phoenix Hook and Ladder Company
No. 1 was laid Friday morning with ap-
propriate ceremonies. Among those pre-
sent were Messrs. Harrar, Smith, Sorley,
Sheilds, Kirkland, Jockusch, Sealy,
Brown, Steele, Yard, Fleig, Crossman,
McComack, Settle, Davie, Hoffer and
Davey. Besides the above-mentioned
gentlemen, all of whom belong to Hook
and I>adder Company No. 1, a large num-
of citizens gathered at the spot.
The corner stone was a block of marble
about two feet long by one foot high by
sixteen inches thick. A square hole was
cut in it large enough to admit a tin box
containing, among other thingB, copies of
the daily and weekly News, county scrip,
a hundred dollars in Confederate money,
a lot of car tickets, several coins, a plas-
ter of paris cast of the Fire Department
badge, Fire Department ordinances, and
a copy of the constitution and by-laws of
the company. The stone was placed in
the northeast corner of the building,
about three feet from the ground, and
presented upon its external face a carved
design, the same as that worn on the hats
of the members.
A copper plate, upon which was
stamped in a skillful manner the follow-
ing, was also placed in the tin box :

A Correct Answer to a Simple
Question.—"Miss Nettie, will you please
tell me where I can get some good kid
gloves ?" " Why, Miss Clara, 1 am tur-
prised at you to ask this questiou, as
every lady in this city is supposed to
know that I. Levy Si Bro. are the only
importers of kid gloves, and they keep
all the shades and sizes you may call
for. These gentlemen not alone keep
the largest assortment of kid gloves,
their assortment of dress goods, shawls,
neck wear, corsets, belts and hosiery de-
serve the admiration of every lady." One
thing is certain, at 161 Market street,
goods are sold cheap.
Tribute of Respect,
The subjoined correspondence is taken
from the Colorado Citizen :
Colcmbcs, October 30,1874,
Mr. Hardy Xddins:
Dear Sir—I have been asked by the
donon, citizens of this place, to present
you with this watch guard. It is not
presented to you on account of its intrin-
sic value, but as a souvenir, to impress
you at all times that our people appreci-
ate the efforts made by you in allaying,
as far as was in your power, the distress
and destitution caused by the ravages of
the scourge—yellow fever—which vis-
ited our city one year ago. Great gene-
rosity was exhibited toward us in the
way of furnishing the destitute money
and necessaries for caring for the sick
by the citizens of Galveston, as well as
other points in and out of the State, and
now that one year has nearly passed
since its ravages ceased, all have the
same kind feelings for the aid and sym-
pathy extended to us at that time.
As you are now thrown into more cloae
associations with our people, on account
of your position as superintendent of our
railroad, we hope to know you better in
the future than in the past, and feel con-
fident our business, as well aa social re-
lations, will always be of the most pleas-
ant nature. You have our best wishes
for your future success and prosperity.
Yours, respecfully,
D. F. Frazell,
For the Donors.
CoLUiiBCB, Nov. 8,1874.
Mr. D. F. Frazell:
Dear Sir—The beautiful souvenir pre-
sented me, through you, by the citizens
of Columbus, is accepted with my most
grateful thanks. Always entertaining
for the citizens of Columbus the liveliest
feelings of esteem, the keepsake will be
a reminder that my poor efforts to do my
duty by them have been aDpreciated far
beyond their deserts. Desiring you to
convey to your citizens my grateful ac-
knowledgments for the many courteous
favors received at their hands, I remain
very respectfully, Hardy Eddins.
Honor to whom honor is due. In his
relation as Superintendent of the Gal-
veston, Harrisburg and San Antonio
Railroad Mr. Hardy Eddins has won for
himself popular favor and esteem. Skill-
ful, wise and efficient in his management
of the road, along with this, Mr. Eddins
has all the requisites to be found in a
thorough gentleman. At all times he is
pleasing and obliging, and while always
winning the esteem of passengers, he has
proven himself to be of great value to
the railroad.

HUTCHINS HOUSE,
The energy and enterprise of the citi-
zens of Texas are the infallible spells
with which the people have lifted, as it
were, the State to its present wealthy
and prosperous position. Full of ac-
tivity, and inspired by local pride, the
spirit of mercantile progress has de-
veloped a trade in her dealers, which has
not only enabled them to make Galves
ton a prominent and buBy Southern mart,
but empowered them to settle thriving
towns, build valuable railroads and in-
vite large capital to their borders. The
Ixjne Star State shines out to-day with a
lustre uneclipsed in the national horizon,
and by its steady and unerring light the
tradesman is beaconed directly to the
Strand, where J. Gottschalk is prepared
to supply him with the choicest and
cheapest liquors.
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 aa if a
higher price was demanded.
Watches are manufactured at the
Waltham Works expressly for use of
engineers, conductors and travelers.
Theee watches are perfect in all their
details, and can be depended on in any
climate.
No other watch company makes a
complete article, and purchasers should
always ask for the Waltham Watch, a
full supply of which are always on hand
at the establishment of
M. W. Shaw & Bro.,
Corner Tremont and Market streets.
Tweney-three brigands, who in
the summer had committed a robbery
at a watering placo on the French fron-
tier, were recently brought to the scene
of their exploits to be shot there by
Spanish troops. Tbe troops were at
fifteen yards distance. Ten men fell
at the first fire. Eight fell at the sec-
ync fire and the other five ran away,
the bullets having cut tbe cords that
bound them. One was last seen pur-
sued by four soldiers, who continued
firing. How many lives has a cat ?
Bismarck's real grievance against
Von Arnim lies deeper than the mere
possession of those letters. Rome fights
the Prince very hard, eTen in Berlin,
and the game of the ultramontane op-
position is to get the Chancellor out of
his office and another man in it; and
their candidate is Von Arnim. This
is the real source of the animus.
