Correspondence OF the Herald
GALVESTON, July Is, ISSO.
Two little negro girls named Gawky and
Lille Holmes, and white boy named Jimmy
Gerhardt, were arraigned before Recorder
Campbell on the charge of disorderly con-
duct. The testimony showed that these little
msereants freQuented the western portion of
the city beyond police limits, and wayaid
little children dispatched to corner groceries
on errands and rob them of their money or
parcels, and then beat and maltreat them.
The officer preferring the charge stated that
he caught Jimmy Gerhardt in the act of
kicking a little boy, just able to walk,
in the back, and that it was Won
der that he had not injured the child'S spine.
The recorder very properly assessed their
fine and sentenced them to ten days impris-
onment in the city prison and to be fed upon
nothing but bread and water, in the hope
that such rgid treatment would bring them
to realization Of their otlense and their pa
rents to a knowledge Of their duties to s0ci
ety. There are other gangs Of these young
mscreants in other portions of the city,
whose otienses are Just as heinous, and it is
sincerely hoped thar they will also tail into
the clutches Of the law, and meet that pun
i:hment their oltenses 50 richly merit IN
the past few days the east end of the beach
has been covered with a large quantity Of fish
known as skip jacks" These had become
quite offensive, and were yesterday removed,
at the instigation of the municipal authori-
ties, by Captain Harry Painter, of the sani
tary department. who removed and buried
eight dray loads. There WAS no session of
the district court yesterday, an adjournment
being had until next Tuesday. The grand
Jury were in session and examined number
of witnesses. 1t seems to be the determine
ton of this body to find out all transgres-
sions Of law, and bring the transgressors to
punishment. Friday all reporters of the
| local press were required to put In an appear
ance and state to the in
quisatorial board all they knew about

Mayor McLemore has been employed to
defend Johnny Herron--the horse-boy--
who wilfully hit Mr.. Charles Dallian on the
side of the head with brick. The case will
be called next Wednesday, and 1t is quite
probable that Johnny will have chance to
become master of some trade, instead of sell
ing pers on the streets Of this CITY,
Last night lively fight took place between
sailors at the intersection of Bath avenue and
and Market street. Officer Pither in at
tempting to arrest the party was set upon by
the belligerents, who gave him such lively

I for help. Sergeant Hunter quickly
responded, and the officers, still finding they
we're over-matched, called to their AID sew
efal citizens, and with their assistance The
burly sons of Neptune were carried to thu

used up, bat he stuck to his man bravely
