Most of the memV.!i\s of Terry's Tcxr.s
rangers who attended the reunion have de-
parted for tlieir homos. The trains this
forenoon took tknm away.
'ill" KPneral expression from them was
that this was the grandest of all of their
reunions, the only wad part of it being the
pi.rtio ; after the feast. The banquet last
might at 1 he Armory hall, and tho very
touching scene utthe home of one of their
number, Mr. W. 11. Cleveland, earlier in
the evening seemed to be tile two features
indelibly impressed upon their minds. In
tho (lining room of Mr. Cleveland's home,
the ladies touted at the table, surrounded
by the ninety-four members who had come
there to shake hands wit ii tho wife ol one
whom they all so loved, the short but feel-
ing utterances that readied from heart to
heart made bv Mr. Cleveland to hi" com-
rades in war, the tears that came upon the
cheeks of the fair and the brave alike, cre-
ated a scene that beggars description, and
One t hat will ever be remembcrod by those

A l'llFSl.STATION".
A most enjoyable affair .occurred at the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. K. Raphael on
it ink street last evening, tho occasion being
a surprise partynnd presentation combined.
For the past year Mr. Raphael and his esti-
mable wife have taken a deep interest in tho
matter of building up and conducting the
Sunday school of the Congregation Beth
Israel in such a manner as to secure to the
children of the members of the church such
benefits as cau only be derived from a well
organized and systematic course of studies.
This worthy object has thrived so well
under their special care and attention as to
excite the praise of the entire Jewish com-
munity in this city. Their admiration and
mutual desire to give expression to their
feelings resulted in a determination to give
some substantial proof of tho same. To
that end a secret conclave Was held among
the leaders, which resulted in the purchase
of an elegant library of books, to
be presented to the recipients, together
with the event of a surprise party.
The following ladies and gentlemen were
accordingly notilied to meet at the Monti-
iflora hall "at 8 o'clock p. m., from which
tendezuous tliew proceeded in a body to
the residence or Mr. and Mrs. Raphael,
which they stormed and captured, to the
surprise of the inmates. The party consist-
ed of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Rosenfield, Mr. and
Mrs. 1). G. Rosenfield, Mr. and Mas. Henry
JTox, Mr. and Mrs. A, Cramer, Mr. and Airs
H. Prince, Mrs. S. Kiam, Mr. F, Haiti, Mr.
and Mrs. H. Sass, Mr. and Mrs. R. Cohen,
Mr. and Mrs. Alexander, Mr and Mrs. J.
Burgheiiu, Mr, and Mrs. 13. Jacobs, Mr. and
Mrs. C. S. Reich man, Mr. and Mrs. J. L.
ISouza, Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Rosenfield, Mr.
and Mrs. J. Cramer, Mr. and Mrs. W. Web-
er, Mr. and Mrs. J. Hirsch, Mr. and Mrs*
A- J.j Sclioenman, Miss Tenie Rosenfield,
Miss Meyer, Miss Emmicli, Mr. and ilrs. G.
Grumbach, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Frouncl,
Sir. T. Jones, Miss Lillie Nussbaum, Miss
Julia Raphael, Mr. Mose Raphael, Mr. L.
Sanders, Rev. Mr. Kaiser. Order being re-
stored Mr. H. Prince summoned Mr. and
Mrs. Raphael into the library, where, iu an
appropriate and feeling address, he
presented them with an elegant collection
of works comprised of Carlyle, Rollins,
Holmes, Hugo, Bronte and other celebrated
authors, in all about thirty-fivo volumes.
On the fly-leaf of each book the following
lines were suitably inscribed in black and
gold letters: "Presented to Mr. and Mrs.
E. Raphael for their untiring zeal and ear-
nest labors in behalf of theSunday schoolof
t'ne congregation Beth Israel, by the parents
and admirers. Houston, Tex., December
19th. 1888."
Mr. Kaphael on belialf of himself and
good lady responded feelingly, but not at
such length as his admirers would have
been pleased to listen, being taken so com-
pletely by surprise and consequently some-
what overcome. The assembled company
had taken the precaution to bring with
them a bountiful supply of all eatables,
especially the sparkling liquids, which when
all was spread on long tables hurriedly put
together by the storming party in the ad-
joining rooms,was done full justice to amid
joy and heartfelt toasts washed down with
bumpers. A section of Herb's Light Guard
band finding its way there rather mysteri-
ously capped the climax, and from that
hour until 1 o'clock dancing and merry-
making prevailed.
love's sweet bream.
This evening at C o'clock at Christ Episco-
pal church Rev. C. M. Beekwith united in
marriage Miss Hettie Elgin, tho lovely and
charming daughter of Mr. R. M. Elgin, and
Mr. \V. A. Wescott, assistant land commis-
sioner of the Houston and Texas Central
Railroad company. The church was taste-
fully ornamented and was crowded with
friends of the young couple. At the ap-
pointed time they entered the church and
marched up the main aisle,-stopping at tho
chancel raiiing. The bride was the embodi-
ment of divine loveliness and angelic grace,
and the groom was a fitting mate of so fair
a bride. To the inspiring strains from the
great organ the bridal party marched to the
chancel aud took their positions The
ceremony was very impressive.
(The attendants were Miss Lizzie
Speed and Mr. Robert Elgin,
plies Leila Blako and Mr. Geo. N. Torrey,
Miss Elsie Schmidt and Mr. Wm. Fulton.
The ushers were Messrs. P. H.Tforson, J C.
JCidd, 11. Dumble and Louis Scherding.
After the ceremony the relatives and near
friends advanced and congratulated the
hitppy couple.
From tho church they drove to the home
cf the bride's parents on Texas avenue,
where suitable refreshments wore served
and greatly enjoyed. There were a large
number of relatives of the fair bride pres-
ent, who had come from different parts of
the state to witness the ceremony.
Tho young couple left on tho 9.20 train
for Laredo, the home of the groom'smother,
kvhere they will spend several weeks. They
will return to make Houston their homo.
farmer's alliance meeting.
To-day there was a meeting in the district
eourt room of the Harris County Farmer's
alliance. Owing to some misunderstand-
ing about tho date the attendance wa3 not
as large as was hoped for. President G. A.
Garvey presided in the forenoon and Vice-
president Jno. Petrey in the afternoon, the
former being called away. Tho purpose of
the meeting was to consider the establish-
ment here of a co-operative store under the
management of the alliance. It was at
once apparent that there was a large senti-
ment in favor of doing it, but there were
counter reasons to be considered, hence the
meeting, after a general debate of the ques-
tion, appointed the following committee:
ito lay a plan before tho next meeting for
approval or rejection: T. W. Hillendahl. L.

port at the next regular meeting.

agement of the co-operative store there.
A resolution was also passed asking the
secretaries of the various sub-alliances iu
tho county to call meetings for the purpose
of petting the sense of their respective
bodies and a delegate was appointed to

THE GAIJ.ATIKTi CASE.
The examination of witnesses in the Jas.
Gallaher murdar cuse still continues and is
exciting a great deal of interest. The law-
yers are even taking a lively interest in the
ccnrse of testimony. The testimony for the
state, given by a colored lnnu and woman
who lived iu the same hous.i with tho mur-
dered pers-.ins, goes to show that (Icfendant

deed. They acknowledged that, he was
masked as t',> his face, but knew him by his
clothes and figure. The defense is estab-

ing by some good witnesses, Mr. ami Mrs.
Cooper, who live there and at whose house
tho prisoner was at the time the murder
was done. They showed that on account of
other rooms in the house not being fur-
nished, he slept in the same room in which
the family slept that night. They say that
lie did not leave there atall. A man named
Bush, who slept at the same house, corrob-
orated their statement. It is thought that
the state may later mako an effort to pr •-
j dcce relmttingtcstiinony. The case is being
j conducted with great shrewdness.
1'inu DEPARTMENT HALL
| This evening at Turner hall the members
of Houston's valiant fire department gave a
grand bail. It was largely attended, and
was managed so as to make it a grand sue
cess. The music was furnished by a section
of Herb's Light Guard band, and was done
in excellent style. A magnificent supper
was a big feature, and as tiie sun pi" march
whs played a long line of couples went up
from the hall to the heavily laden and beau-
tiful tables, which fairly groaned under the
weight of good things. The succens at-
tained must be largely credited to t he un-
tiring efforts of the ladies. The committees
in charge were:

■Bather an odd character, who lias boon
living in our city for several years, and mod-
estly claims to possess the power of fore-
seeing events, comes to the front to-day
with the following prediction and timely
warning:
Something is going on iu the skies above
and in the earth below; something is going
on and will assuredly come to pass. Some
nights ago I saw a great army of horsemen.
As the army advanced and came opposite
where I was standing, one of the soldiers
stood upright upon a pair of wheels. A bat-
tery of cannon then came in sight. This
man faced ma and said three times: Artil-
lery, artillery, artillery, then sat down, the
line moving right on. This occurred to me
was a sign of war, and whosoever is planting
the seed of war shall reap tiie harvest there-
of. God is witness that 1 have spoken tiie
truth in what I have seen and heard. I lie
not. Therefore it is well to take warning
and act wisely. Your humble friend.

means election.
Last night the members of Texas lodge
No. 1, Knights of Pythias, held an important
meeting in the Burns building and nomi-
nated the following officers, which is equal
to an election, the nominations being made
by tho lodge in meeting: R. Cocke, chancel-
lor commander; S. S. Squires, vice-chancel-
lor; N. W. Grlsmore, prelate; Ii. II. War-
ing, keeper of records and seals; M. P. Geis-
elman, master of exchequer: W. R. Sinclair,

finance and arms; J. J. Keller, trustee; M.
P. Geiselman, representative to grand

tion will be held next Wednesday evening.
Texas lodgo No. 1 is the oldest in' the state,
and is doubtless as prosperous as any. It
has a large membership, and under the able
management of the above corps of officers
will no doubt continue to grow in numbers
and in wealth.
colonel cocke's appointment.
News has been received here of the
election of William Richard Cocko to the
position of lieutenant-colonel of the First
Texas regiment. The vote was very com-
plimentary, and one that he greatly feels
proud of. The colonel is to-day receiving
the congratulations of his many friends
liera. He has for several years been a popu-
lar member of the Houston Light Guard,
and one of their best soldiers. II is advance-
ment is merited, and the First Texas regi-
ment will have cause in future to con-
gratulate herself upon the sagacious
selection. The colonel's first appearance
as a field officer was at the late Austin
interstate drill on the stafT of the lamented
Bedell, then commandant of (lie First Texas
Brigade, where his military bearing evoked
favorable comment on all sides. He will
make a gallant officer should the time ever
come for a display of gallantry.
a vexed question.
The Louisiana street bridge matter con-
tinues at a standstill despite tho fact that
tiie mayor and aldermen are giving it a
good deal of their time and attention. The
impromptu meeting of the council last
night amounted to little else than tho ex-
pression of conflicting opinions on the sub-
ject.. Tho mayor had instructed the city en-
!;ineer to give levels and bearings on the
jouisiaua street bridge so that the con-
tractor and builder could push aiiead with
the work. But the alderman said nav, nay,
by a vote, of 5 to 4. The city attorney is to
prepare and give an opinion on the subject
at the next meeting.
The King Bridge company has placed lots
of material where the bridge is to be
built, several .sections of the great iron
piers and many carloads of timber among
the rost. They also have a lot of men under
pay to do the work.
found this morning
This morning Mr. Conrad Wagner, who
resides on Washington road, in Clianey-
ville, found a gripsack near his premises.
Near by he also found a hat, pair of shoes,
pair of overalls, shirt and a coat, all of
which articles had been worn. A pass over
the Houston and Texas Central railroad,
which had been issued on railroad account,
was found in a pocket of the coat. It bora
the date of December 8 and was issued to J.
Jarversou. The pass was stamped and
counter stamped by the ticket agent of that
road in this city, and was from Houston to
Fort Worth, good on train No. 3 leaving
this city on that date. Mi1. Wagner gath-
ered together the dliferent articles, placed
them in the valise and took them to his
house, afterward notifying the police.
shearn's new pastor.
Rev. E. W. Solomon, the new pastor Of
Memorial church, presided at the prayer
meeting last night in the chapel. Those
present were very much entertaiued, and a
most favorable impression of him has been
formed. The stewards, trustees, Sunday
school officials and members of the congre-
gation are requested to meet him at the
chapel to-morrow (Friday) night, at 7.80
o'clock, for the discussion of church affairs
and also to make his acquaintance.

texas base-bale league.
Captain J. J. McClosky has just returned
from a flying visit to Halve ;t m and in-
formed The Nev.s correspondent that the
idea of getting up a southern league had
been abandoned iu Texas and tho more
practicable plan of running a Texas league
substituted, lie says Galveston will not go
into a southern league, having changed her
mind sin'e Mr. Wharton's departure, hence
to make aiiy further effort in that direction
would be folly. He says Fort Worth, Dal-
las, Waco, Austin, Houston and Galveston
will go into a Texas league with salaries
limited to flOOO a month, and it will run all
the summer. A southern league, be fears,
would not have lusted more than a month
or so. There will bo a meeting at Fort

have a representative. Mr. Aleck Easton of
Galveston will likely be president and Mr.
Tom Nunn of Austin, lie says there is no

merely a question ok fact.
This afternoon Mr. O. T. Holt, actingclty
| attorney during the absence of Mr. Ring,
informed a News correspondent that the
muddle about the Louisiana street bridge
could be easily settled on circa instances
that are susceptible of proof. He said if
the city asked the King Bridge company
not to push the completion of the work on
theLouisianastreet bridge the city will have
to stand u]> to the contract, but it the King
Bridge company, without such request,
failed to comply with the contract, the city
will not be bound to it. It is merely a mat-
tor of fact and one that, when shown, will
settle the question.

race was between Sitterle's brown horse
Yellow Wolf and McLean's gray colt for

not good guessers, ns the colt won by forty
feet, and local sports are in mourning, it
is said that $9000 changed hands on the race.
To-morrow and Saturday there will be
