of peace. About them are flags and bunt-
ing. The representation is very striking
and attractive.

ed against them, while (i to 1 each i3 to be
had against Unite, Fenelon, Jim Gore and
Wary, and from 7 to 100 to 1 against every-
thing else in the race, the odds being laid
against everytbirg that has not already
been declared out by the owners. The odds
against some of the candidates are ridicul
ously low, noticeably so in the case of
White Note, against whose chances but 10
to 1 are now offered, while it is good betting
that theie will be at least 20 to 1 against
b.m at the track, iWbot more.

noted, were announced positively to day as

the mayflower and sachem win.
Marblehead, Mass., June 23. — After
having been poetponed for two days on ac-
count of bad weather the regatta of the
Eastern Yacht club was sailed to day with
as much wind throughout the contest as
any of the sailors wanted. The chief inter-
est was felt in the contest between the M »y-
flower and Galatea, the first class sloops,
between the Sachem and Iroquois, of first
class schooners, and between the cutters
Huron and Stranger, the former being of
American and the latter of English build.
The Mayflower and Sachem won ea3ily in
their respective classes. Shortly after
turning the first stakeboat the Iroquois's
mainmast was cast away, which ended her
chances.
General regret was expressed that the
Puritan had withdrawn, for as there was
promised a heavy blow many desired to
see how she would fare in a contest with
tbe Mayflower and Galatea.
The sea was very rough, and after 11.30
o'clock, or from the beginning of the race
to the finish, there were no less than a
dozen more or less violent storms of wind
and rain, making it one of the nastiest
yachting days possible.
The course for schooners of the first and
second class was over a thirty-six mile tri-
angle, while that for the smaller craft was
twenty-four miles long. The Mayflower
was first over the line at 11 31.30, followed
by the Iroquois, Galatea, Sachem, America,
Stranger and Huron in the order named.

About Church Building—To Discuss the Amend-
ment-A Negro Constable's Break.
Tyler, Tex., June 23.—The Methodist
Episcopal conference has appointed W. S.
Herndon, B. W. Rowland, T. R. Bonner,
Jno. B. Douglass and H. J. McBride a
building committee to erect as soon
as practicable a handsome church
edifice for that denomination in
this city, to cost about $20,000. The site will
probably be at the corner of West Erwin
and South Boyce s reets, within a stone's
throw of the Cumberland Presbyteriau
church now in course of erection. It is
noticeable that of all the desirable lo-
cations for such institutions in this city,
only one locality has been selected by all
tbe religious denominations of the seven
churches for the white people of the city,
no two of them are further apart than an
ordinary tone of the human voice can oe
heard.
A corps of laborers is constantly at work
extending the waterworks system farther
it to the residence portion of the city.
Hon. W. S. Herndon and Judge John D.
Duncan of this city speak in Mineola to-
morrow in favor of prohibition. Colonel
Herndon will go from there to Henderson
and speak Saturday.
In one of the precincts of this county the
justice of the peace and constables are
nf groes. To day quite a rumpus was raised
by the constable of that precinct at-
tempting to arrest on the street
a negro who a few days ago
had been fined by the jus-
tice, and whose fine and costs had been
paid in full by a friend. The negro re-
sisted arrest on the ground that the capias
pro fine, with which the constable was eq uip-
ped, did not authorize his arrest, since he
owed his friend and not the state.
Tie matter was submitted to a lawyer for
settlement, and he decided that he could
nf t be legally arrested. The man looked
proud and the colored officer looked hackod.
THE FARMERS' ALLIANCE.
The Members Intend Starting a Cotton Ex-
change o! Their Own.
Dallas, Tex., June 23.—The Farmers al-
liance of Texas, comprising 200,000 men in

lish a cotton exchange in a large Texas
city, and te this end have made overtures
to Dallas. The matter is under considera
tion by leading Dallas citizens. It is pro-
posed to erect a large building and display
cotton samples to be forwarded by the
several county alliances of the state.
The machinery of tbe cotton sampling
business will be under tbe direction of
agents selected for business knowledge.
The object of the plan is to give every cot-
ton planter a chance to have his cotton put
in the market to the best advantage. In
addition to cotton other products will be
placed in the exchange. This week a com-
mittee of the alliance will be in Dallas to
confer with the citizens.

the Castvoville Killing—Death of a Promi-
nent Lawyer—Other Items.
San Antonio, Tex., June 23.—Late this
evening T. P. Richardson of Hcilallan
county was arrested in front of the Southern

L. O. Dargan to-day sold his ranch, a few
miles out of the city, to W. H. Hubbard of
Chicago. A few days ago oil was discov-
ered on the land, ana inthe sale Mr. Dargan
reserves the right to dig for oil, natural gas
and minerals on twenty-seven acres.
Abundant evidence of oil on adjoining
lands, belonging to General G. W. Rass and
Colonel H. B. Andrews, have also been
found and tests are being made.
Parties in possession of the facts in re-
gard to the killing of Mr. J. V/. Hilde-
brandt of this city, at Castroville yester-
day, by Sheriff Thumm, talk of the case
reluctantly and it is hard to obtain infor-
mation. It is known, however, that
lhumm approached his victim while he
was In the county clerk's office examining
some records, and knocked hi<n down with
a heavy mucilage bottle. He then ham-
mered bim with his revolver, fracturing hi3
skull in several places. When Hilde-
brandt was allowed to get up, he staggered
to the further end or the gallery and made a
feeble effort to defend himself. By aspas-
modic effort he fired twice, but was too fee-
ble to raise his revolver and tha balls en-
tered tbe floor. Thumm then took deliberate
aim and shot him between the legs. Hilde-
brandt expired almost immediately. An
autopsy whs held, arid physicians gave It as
tleir opinion that Hildebrandt would have
died from the fractures of the skull even if
he had not have been shot. His face was so
horribly beaten up that his heart broken
young wife was not allowed to look upon
his features when theremainB were brought
into the city. The general impression is
that the killing was the result of an old
ftud growing outof alleged indecent propo-
posals made by the sheriff to the slster-in
law of deceased. He was regarded as one
cf the most inoffensive, upright and worthy
yourg men in the city.
Albert Dittman, Esq , one of the leading
members of the San Antonio bar, died last
night at his residence on Houston street.
Out of respect to his memory the court ad-
journed to-day, and a committee was ap-
pointed to draft suitable resolutions.
The venue of the Coy-Butler cases, for
killing Sheriff Elder of Karnes county, has
been again changed, this time from Wilson
to DeWitt county.
