ALLIGATOR STORY. = Major
Moses Austin Bryan, who in
1881 was a resident oil San
Fliipe de Austin, on Saturday
last attended the picnic on Mill
creek below Bellville, Major
Bryan says that some two miles
above the present railroad
bridge there was a large lake in
the creek and several years
prior to 1881, Jehu FURNISH,
then a youth of II was fishing
at the lake with a brother, a
small boy, a huge alligator
caught the boy, and was about
getting away with him when
Jehu rushed into the water and
mounting the alligator's back
inserted his fingers into its eyes
and commenced gouging and
Notwithstanding that the alliga-
tor went down several times he
retained his seat on its back
and continued mis- gouging until
lit let his brother go, when Jehu
seized him and made ashore.
The boy though considerably
hurt by the alligator lived to
grow to mans estate. Major
Bryan says he regards Jehu
Furnish as one of the heroes of
early Texas. This incident of
early times has never before
been in print, but can be vouch-
ed for by a few of the original
settlers yet living and some of
whom never doubted the truth
fulness of Jehu FURNISH.
Mill creek took its name
from the fact that John Cum
minis erected the first water
mill in Austin's colony on the
creek some distance, below
where the railroad bridge now
stands. Il

THE PICNIC.
A Tremendous Crowd and a Soft
%f a5f Time.

Time.
The union Sunday school pic
mic has been all the talk for a
week past, all the schools in the
city had agreed to participate
in it. Saturday morning was
the time set for it to come off
and everybody who anticipa-
ted going was up a full hour
earlier than usual. BY half past
seven o'clock there was a for
ward movement from all parts
of the city towards the Santa
Fe depot, and by eight o'clock,
the time set for the departure
of the train, there was a, dense
throng of people and but
few cars in sight, a little
time righted matters and
the crowd commenced getting
aboard. A good deal of switch
ing was done and much anxiety
was manifested, upon the part
of the excurters, to be off;
people going anywhere are al
ways anxious to be travelling.
As everything has to have a
starting time, so has an excur-
sion, this particular one was to
start at 8 o'clock sharp" but
the crowd SO far exceeded the
expectation of the managers
the delay was in a measure una
voidable. At $50 a. NJ, the
train consisting of twelve or
thirteen cars, in all, pulled out
for Mill creek with as large and
as joyous a crowd as ever set
out on a May-day picnic.
All the white Sunday schools
of the city were on hand, the
children being accompanied by
their teachers, superintendent
OF schools, parents and friends,
besides a great many persons
who went merely to enjoy
the excursion and have a day
in the country. In the train
there was one standard passen-
ger coach, one caboose, Several
summer coaches made to order
for executing and IN addition to
them four or FIVE flats had been
provided with seats running
lengthwise of the cars and with
itarpaulins for roofs, these cars
were admirably adapted for the
purpose they admit a free cir.
culation of air and gave the ex-a
curriers' an unobstructed view OF
the country. 1t is useless to
say more about the beauty, of
the cars except to say that two
open cars were provided with
impromptu seats made of cross
ties; the gentlemen who were
unacconipanied by ladies had
the pleasure of riding on these
elegant coaches. The first stop
was made at Stones landing,
four miles from town, where M.
Stone. and a number of ladies
and children got aboard. At
Kenney, the first regular sta
ton below BRENNAN, fortyor
more children and their grown
took passage, At Bell
vile about one hundred chill
dren got aboard and about one
hundred men got ashore and
took beer aboard at a friendly
saloon near the depot. "All
was announced; the en-
CINE snorted, the throttle was.
and Mil creek. the OBJ
jective point was soon reached.
A little after IL o'clock
the train halted about three orI
four hundred, yards below the
creek. with about one half of
the train on an embankment
ten feet high. Ten or fifteen
was consumed in max
ing a safe landing; commissary
car was unloaded and every
one got their respective baskets;
the picnic grounds proper were
quite extensive embracing as
large an area as any could
desire.

Whitsunday Services at ST Peters
Church OH Sunday 18th.

Reported for tie Banner
Appropriate services, COM
memorative of the coming Of
the Holy Ghost, "the Comfort
er," were held at II A. NJ. in St.
Peters church; with fine music,
well rendered by the choir, and
sermon and celebration of the
Holy Communion by the Rec
tor.
At $50 P. NJ. the children
of the Sunday school held
their "Whitsunday celebration,
which was chiefly a service of
song, with a beautiful display
of appropriate symbols and
notices.
The beauty and significance
OF the crimson-red-roses on a
back ground OF evergreens, on
two well designed arches, were
highly appreciated by all, and
produced a most pleasing effect.
But the most touching scene
was the formation of the mot
toes on the two arches, with
large letters of gold-leaf pre-
viously prepared and handed
up at the proper time, letter by
letter, by the little children,
and inserted in their proper
places by Mr.. Englehart, SPELL
ing out in letters of gold the
two great facts of our creed, as
notices for the day: Christ
hath assembled" on one arch,
and on the otaers "The Cons
forter is come" 1t was deeply
affecting to see, with what in
terest each little child watched
the placing of their respective
letters, and their apparent joy
and satisfaction when all was
completed, the notices finished
and their testimony given to
the truth of Gods Holy Word,
and we could but think, surely:
"0ut of the mouths of babes
and stockings THOU hast or
