Cas- Brennan has for a
long time been we'll supplied
with men capable of supplying
gas, but until the past few days
has never had "gas machine. !"
She has one row. Mr.. Abe
Meyer, "the boss cigar and
crockery nian," has just had put
up in his store a Sunlight Gas
Mac. .iine," manufactured by ].
J, Paquette. of New Orleans.
The apparatus is. simple and
cheap; it makes the gas ofgaso-
line as it is needed for consumR-
ton. The one in Meyers store
has ten burners and was lit up
for the first time on Saturday
night. The light is fully equal
to that of the best coal gas.
The machine does not burn the
gasoline directly, but the vapor
evolved from it. The cost of
this gas is, only about IS cents
per thousand feet, while that of
coal gas is from S. to 81 in
Texas towns. 1t entirely obvi-
ates, the necessity of large and
expensive gas works. is small
and compact occupying but lit
tie room and is admirably
adopted for lighting churches,
halls, theaters, stores and the
like. Mr.. Meyer will take
pleasure in showing his gas ma
chine and in casing about

Tn. colored policemen made
three arrests for disturbing the
peace, but as the charges would
not hold water the defendants
were dismissed.
Monday Frank Johnson,
Beasley Moore, John Anderson,
Allen Ayres and Ben Garrett, a
very handsome quintette OF col
ored gentleman, made their
bow to His Honor, the mayor.
Their presence was onthe COM
plaint Of Mr.. Samuel Stin-
nette, a colored peeler, who
charged that the quintette had
disturbed the peace and quiet
of the very quiet suburb known
as Camps, on Saturday night a
week ago. Mr.. Stinnett it ap-
pears endeavored to sustain his
charges against them alone and
single handed. They outnum-
bered and outswore him, pro-
ducing twenty witnesses to
prove that they had not dis
turbed the peace. If it had
been necessary they could have
proved that Sam Stinnett was
never in Camps and that no
such man as he ever lived at all,
but as there was no occasion
for it the proof was not made.
This quintette makes eight that
Stinnett has captured on the
same charge but not one of
whom he was able to convict.
They are as slippery as eels.
Shade Mckinney, a very bad
darkey, was fined $3.50 and
trimmings on Thursday last.
He battled manfully. with the
bastile fleas until Monday, when
he compromised by paying the
trimmings. He is going to the
country for a change of air and
scenery.
Tuesday. = Miss Caroline
Hall, a colored lady, whose
character is just the opposite to
that of Caesars wife, was charg-
ed with fighting one Fanny Es-
ties, also colored, at her own,
Carolinc's domicil or ranchero.
A deputy marshal appeared at
the ranch just as the hostilities
became highly interesting and
arrested "all both" Of them.
They plead guilty and were fin
ed 81 and trimmings, amount
ing to a grand total of $40 in
each case.
Caroline was then put on
trial on the charge of keeping
a disorderly house. Ten wit
ness were sworn to show that
Miss Caroline was a strictly hon
est, virtuous, Woodworking
washerwoman. His Honor took
the matter under Amusement
until to-day.
Wednesday.--The case against
Mm'lle Carolina Hall, colored,
was dismissed, the proof requir-
ed by law to convict person
of keeping a disorderly house
was not made by the city.
Mademoiselle Hall departed in
peace.
