Disturbers Of Public worship.

The attention of those who congre-
gate in the vicinity of churches, on
Sundays, for the purpose of playing
ball, and for other amusements, is
directed to the following state enact
ment upon the subject of disturbing
public worship:
Section l. BE it enacted by the legis-
lature of Texas, That Article 2S4 of
an act entitled can act to adopt and
establish penal code for the state of
Texas" approved August 90, 1856, be
so amended as to read as follows {:
"Article 2S4. Any person who, by
loud or vociferous talking or swearing,
or 10y any other noise, wilfully disturbs
any congregation assembled for reli-
gus worship, and conducting them
selves in u lawful manner, whatever
may be the religion professed by such
congregation, shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor, and( upon convic-
tion thereof shall be fined in any sum
not less than twenty-five nor more
than one hundred dollars, and may be
imprisoned in the county Jail not ex-
ceeding thirty days, at the discretion
OF the jury.

synopsis of theproueedings oiaprcclnct
muss meeting held ut Lancaster on
Saturday Nst, at which two pre-
cinct4 arr0gntcd to themselves the all-
thority to represent Dallas county.
Tie affair loses much Of It's Significance,
however, when the fact Is taken into
consideration that the delegates to the
meeting were sef-elcrted, having
ueilhcr been appointed nor elected By
any constituency.
In this 'mass meeting" as IL was 10y
courtesy called, the authority of the
chairman Of the democratic executive
county committee was entirely ig-
nored, and the rights of the majority
of the democrats of Dallas county
treated with contempt. Whether the
action Of this rump meeting is to be
recognized 10y the democracy Of Dallas
county, is question for the people
themselves to decide.

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN
CHEMISTRY.

The dominion of man, over the
forces of nature, is continually being
enlarged and extended by fresh dis
coveries i'm the limitless field of chem
istry. A very important one has just
been announced from France. NJ.
Paraf has ascertained that the deposit
ton of small quantity of chloride OF
calcium, upon soil i'm cultivation, will
answer all the purposes of rain or arti-
fetal irrigation. The rationale Of this
Is that this chloride has so powerful at
traction for water, that IT absorbs the
latent moisture Of the atmosphere, and
when placed about growing vegetation
renders other irrigation unnecessary.
The discoverer has applied this chlo-
ride to all kinds of soils successfully,
and he has ascertained that it may he
applied in such proportions as viii pro-
duce the necessary irrigation Of the
land more cheaply and efficiently than
Ly canals or other means for artificial
irrigation. One Of Mr.. Parafs appli-
cations will produce and retain abund-
ant moisture for three days, when the
same amount Of water, Introduced by
the ordinary method, will evaporate
in an hour, and he believes that his

Indian Matters.

The following kilograms have been
received at Lieutenant General Sheri-
dams headquarters from the COM
manding officer, Fort Sanders, Wyom-
ing:
A party of Indians came to Rock
creek valley on Saturday afternoon
and ran off over one hundred head of
horses. The Indians crossed the rail-
road at Horseshoe Bend, going north.
The animals belonged to MIR. George
Parker and others. A small party of
white men are on the trail and report
from Lookout station that they want
help.
Cherokee Bob, VINO is just i'll from
Rock creek, reports to me that the In
dians have gone northwest and will
probably cross the Platte near the
mouth of the Sweetwater. He says
they took seventy-five horses from Mr.
Porter seventy-five from George Har-
per, sixty from John Wright, and forty
from Mr.. Kelly, making two hundred
and fifty altogether.
YANKToN, ID. r., June 14.-At the
Ponca agency on "Wednesday, David
Neal, q white man in charge of the
farming operations at the agency, was
assaulted by Thick Nail, an Indian be-
longing on the reservation, and Sc
yerely mutilated in his arm by the
tomahawk of the bloody Indian.
Thick Nail escaped from the reserva-
ton, but Major Carrier, the agent, is
using every effort to bring him to pun
ishment.
There has been of late considerable
trouble on the reservation growing out
of the effort of Major Carrier, under
instructions from the department., to
compel the Poncas to earn their sup
port by manual labor, and it is prob
able that this assault grew out of the
attempt to enforce department orders.
The cavalry have driven offthe Brule
Sioux from their contemplated raid Oh
the Ponca agency and the Niobrara
settlement, but they are still menacing
the agency.

TEE TRANS S-CONTINENTAE IRON
AGE.

OF Marshall, must sadly have mis-
taken the sentiment of the people Of
Texas towards the memory of Sam
Houston, when it republished, from
the New Orleans Bulletin, an article,
in which that old hero is characterized
as "a debauched old dragoon."
1 is true that the people, in order to
cousummatc the act of secession, re-
moved him from the governorship of
the state, but his subsequent course of
remaining quietly in the state, advis-
ing obedience to the powers that were,
his pateri.al interest in and sympathy
with the people during the war, al
though he disagreed with them as to
the wisdom of their course, thoroughly
won back the popular affection, and at
the time of his death, and ever since,
there has been but one sentiment in
Texas in regard to him, and that is
that with all his faults, Sam Houston is
entitled to the undying love and re-
spect of the people of Texas. This feel
ing is so universal in our state, that it
is astonishing that n newspaper pub
lished within its borders should dare to
outrage decency by reproducing so foul
a sentence as that to which we have
alluded.

Mr.. Frank Bond, vice president, and
Colonel George Noble, superintendent
of the Texas Pacific road, reached
sherman last Tuesday evening, and
remained over until Monday evening.
We had the pleasure of talking with
Mr.. Bond, and of course we tried to
get all the information possible in re-
gard to the building of the Transconti-
mental branch of the road. Mr.. Bond
had nothing new to tell, and could
only reiterate what Mr.. Scott told us
on his recent visit. Arrangements had
been made with the creditors of the
road, by which all mortgages on the
road were lifted, and the company al
lowed to put on first mortgage of
$1,000 per mile, for the purpose of rails
ing money to complete the gap from
Brookston TO Texarkana, and from
Dallas to Fort Worth. Bonds repre-
senting this mortgage are now in the
hands of the engraver, andwill be ready
to be placed ON the market in fifteen
days from this time. Meanwhile cap
italists are being sounded on the sub
ject of investing in these bonds, and
there is every prospect of an early sale.
Mr.. Bond is confident, from the thor
ough inspection of the Transcontinent-
al branch, that heshas Just made, that
he can complete the road within nine
ty DAYS after the money is secured. He
is making all necessary arrangements
for beginning the work, so that when
the money is obtained, not an hour
will be lost in preparation. He was
delighted with the country from Tex
arknna to Sherman, and declared that
] L. halfn~n fhnra a inner

We are satisfied that an earnest eli
fort is being made to raise the money,
to complete the gap in our road ana
that If possible it will be-done IN time

SOME PECULIARIfIES OF COVER
NOR TGLDEN.
From the World.i

His house in New York, fronting
Gramercy park, between Twentieth
and Nineteenth streets, has u little
lawn and fountain in the rear. His
mansion ut Albany is situated in re-
mote, high place and surrounded with
some broad acres. The view from it
is fair and beautiful. Fondness for
plenty of room to work in and to live
in, and for the open air, and for horse
back and carriage exercise, is one OF
the governors traits. He drives early
when here in Albany, and his table is
always Hospitality spread for more than
those whom his roof shelters. Some
nieces grace the board and some little
children occasionally. He is served
with wholesome plenty, eats moder-
ately, and loves at table to tell or hear
a good story.
Not long after dinner 1t has been his
habit, when not too much badgered, to
mount a spirited horse and ramble
through some upper streets and canter
in the park.
We give the above extract, for the
reason that the people ought to be in
forming themselves in regard to the
personal habits and peculiarities of the
man who stands a good chance to be
the choice of the next national demo-
cratic convention, for the presidency.
The successful manner in which he
has dealt with the gigantic frauds in
his own state, and the reformation he
has effected in state aud municipal ad-
ministrations, point to him as the
fittest man TO clean the Augean
stables of the national capital. In
politics he is sound states rights
democrat, and his election would be
worth untold millions TO country
where there is but one alternative-the
full recognition of the rights of the
states, or q consolidated despotism,
which you may misname republican
ism, but which in fact is Imperialism.
Not only do we require a man OF
sound principles, but we want one with
the nerve of the true reformer. Tilden
has shown himself to have both.

LAST DAY.
Closing OF the Weeks Races Over the
Associations Course.

The closing day of the weeks races
over the Blood-Stock associations
course yesterday, was attended by the
largest crowd Of the week. Considera-
bic disappointment was manifested at
the postponement of the great four
mile race, but it was one Of those una
voidable circumstances over which
neither the owners of the horses nor
the officers Of the associatian had any
control. There was no lack of sport,
however, and what was lost in quality
was made up in quantity. The frst.rsce
was half-mile dash between Chance
and Pete Mccartney. Chance was the
The Dallas weekly herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1885, 1875-06-19

fav0rte, though considerable conf
dence was felt in Pete, but he failed l.
show those characteristics which hay
made his llustrious namesake 50 no
torious, and failed to get away-witi
Chance, who won the race in oil.
The next race was n mile dash be
tween II pony and an unknown horse
The pony showed his blood, and
stepped under the string several yards
in advance.
Then came the saddle horse race
mile dash, for which there were five
entries. Captain Gaston's Longfellow
showed his blue (grass) blood and
passed under the string in the lead, to
the great satisfaction of his friends and
hackers.
After this, was half mile race be-
tween pacing mare and q trotting
horse to a sulky, which was won by
the latter.
Then came trotting race, one mile
to sulkies, between a bay horse belong
ing to Captain Burris and an unknown
black horse, which was easily won by
the former.
Then came the grand finale-a foot
race between that delicate, effeminate
invalid, Joe Harris, and n Lancaster
lad named Lowry-distance, seventy
five yards. Joe was very confident,
and SO calm and majestically did he
bear himself that he actually I'M
pressed some of the bystanders (the
reporter among the number) that he
could run. The reporter thought so to
the amount of about one dollar and
half, or thereabouts, and now he
mourns as victim of misplaced con-
fidence. Well, they started, and that
is about all Joe did. Half an hour after
starting Lowry walked in painting like
q wolf, and in about twenty minutes
after Joe quietly dropped in and
wanted to know who had won. On
being told, he smiled ghastly smile,
and made u break for home.
Tomorrow afternoon, at o'clock.
we are to have the great match against
time, for five hundred dollars. Captain
John H. Stones brown horse, Colonel
Nelligan, has been entered to make
four miles ip 7:44. Nelligan is horse
of wonderful bottom, and all things
being favorable, will make matters
lively on that turf for three or four
minutes.
Tue inaugural races of the associa-
ton have been a most complete and
triumphant success. With but very
short time to prepare their grounds
and make the necessary arrangements
for the visiting of stock to the city,
they have accomplished wonders, and
Dallas-city and county-can point
with pride to the liberality and energy
with which the officers of the associa-
ton have managed the affair from its
inclpiency. The success of the inau-
gural insures the success of the fair and
fall meeting, which will doubtless
eclipse anything of the kind ever wit
messed in the state.
1t would be unjust to fail to mention
the name of Colonel Ed. Finnin in
