in this city. The hall was beautifully
decorated with evergreens, and be-
meath each gas fixture hung a wreath
of cedars. Suspended in the centre of
each was gilt cage with q canary
in it. Across the proscenium opening,
and over the stage was a beautiful H.

into letters, which, when light
ed, showed the inscription, "Our Lady

with lace curtains, and behind them
were ice cream tables. The pro-
grammes were of white silk, cut in the
form Of an apron and bound with blue,
with letters of gold printed on the
center. Each lady wore a Normandy
cap and apron, which had charming

General Joseph e. Johnston, the IL
lustrious soldier Of the late war, now
the successful general manager of the
southern department of this great
company, is en- rollte for Texas, to look
after the interests OF the company

ston is permanently connected with
its fortunes. 1t is one of the soundest
OF all the insurance companies now
doing business here and this everyone
knows, as General Johnston could not
connect himself with any other char
acter of company. 3
General Johnston's old friends and
many admirers will show their regard
for the grand old hero, by giving their
fire risks to the company which has
entrusted to his care their important
interests in their southern department.

local agents here, and will take pleas
ure in making exhibits Of the char
acter and standing Of the company.

OF business, yet we think the occasion
afltting one for us to pay tribute to
the grand old war.worn hero. We
suggest that the mayor and city coun-
ell, with the leading citizens, deter
mine upon a public reception beiitting
the city and her illustrious v,ditor.
Prompt action should be taken be-
cause the time for preparation is short.
The HERALD tenders the use OF its
columns for the purpose, and pledges
Its best effort to make his stay here as
pleasant as may be.

of the money market, lie has, while
travelling one of the most expensive

ent to witness the sport friend Pad
dock was on the field, and shouted
himself hoarse over the victory. He
even got so rash as to promise q keg
of beer to the nine Of his village, ifthey
won. From those who witnessed the
game, welearn that the Fort Worth
boys played fine game, while Dallas
made many bad errors. Joe Cougha-
nour'4 pitching was badly punished !
whitewashes were made. The Fort
Worth nine have fine pitcher and
catcher, which count greatly In a
match. The return game will be played

A week ago two MeXieaus entered

ana Que ~ them bought sel vi shirt

was " the impression that they had
taken more than they had purchased
Two days ago they made another visit
To his store, aud this time he saw Que
OF them slip u set Of studs into his
pocket AZ first be thought he would
make him dltgolge lhen aud there, bat
ON rejection he thought lao would let
him 20, aud by keeping track of him,
llnd not only what no lost, but posi-
bly same Goods stolen from other par
Ties, lle therefore informed Captain
Morton, and gave him description OF
the thief Morton kept his eyes open,
aud finally tracked his greaser 10 a
little Hhanty, about ten or twelve feet
square, which stands In the rear OF
Cameron's lumber yard, Mr. Austin
then got out u Hearch warrant, and
Marshal Morton made u descent upon
the house aud searched H. When he
entered he found no one there but n
Mexican woman, hut he discovered In
several vallsos ana trunks, goods OF
every description, which, In all proba,
billy, have been stolen. There were
clothing, laces, Jewtlry, silver ware,
clothes, and in fact, any quantity OF
new goods. Thinking he had dIscoy-
cred clue TO the perpetrators Of the
burglary at the New York Clothing
House, he sent for the proprietor, who, |
on coming there, identified many Of
the articles OF clothing M having come |
from the store, but could not swear
they had been stolen, ~ the |
marks had been removed from
them, Marshal Morton then arrested |
three MeXicans, who made that place
their headquarters, and taking them
to Mr. Austin's store, that gentleman
identified them as the
ones who had paid him u visit, and
pointed out the one which had stolen
the studs, and they were found in his
possession, Mr. Austlns mark being
stlll on the card The three greasers
were then taken TO Justice Peaks
office and placed under $500 bonds, TO
appear on Monday morning to answer
10 the charge. Only Que Of them

'ourt directed the marshal to arrest
he woman and take charge of sill the
and bring 1t to the courtroom
or Identification. Parties who have
ost anything lately should call Mt

n the lot. There is no doubt that these
men belong to band Of organized
hieves who have been doing great
leal of pilfering lately, and it is quite
probable they run the goods of in

asst as possible. The quantity ofgoods

,raced articles of every description.
