There wns some tall swearing
done In Justice Johnson's court this morn
ing. Inst October, the Captain Of II vessel
about clearing from this port, engaged three
seamen from Tom ToloX, who keeps sailors
boarding house. The Captain gave notes for
advance pay on the consignees Of tho vessel
Tho Captain soon after boarded the vessel in
the outcrroads, and few hours before sailing
mustered his crew and found that the men
palmcd of upon him by Tolex, were "land
iubbcrs.' He had no chance TO send them
ashore or time to delay and being short
handed, he awaited of help from u neighbour
ing vessel, by which he communicated with
the consignees not TO honor his notes. These
facts were substantiated by the officers
and crew of the vessel. Upon the
return of the vessel to this port FOlex had
the captain arrested and sent for the amount
of the notes given, claiming that the men
who signedthe notes mot the men engaged
had sailed pn the vessel. The landsmen
were Eng Ahmen, who had become dissatis-
fed with Texas and wanted free passage
back TO England, which the testimony
showed that Tolcx assisted in obtaining. The
case was tried before ajury and decided in ia
vor of the plaintiff,

For the past three nights the Galvestonians
in the vicinity Of Bath avenue and intersec-
ton of Market street, have been enter
tanned by the daring feat of Miss Ada Reno,
a trapezist at the Grand Central,
by flying across the street suspended by the
teeth, with arms extended, from slender
rope stretched across the street.
Considerable connection exists in the Fire
Department. The city in their eagerness to
retrench, have as usual, begun at the wrong
end. No, and G Engine companies have
been placed out of commission, and at a
meeting of fire company No. 5, an order was
read from the Chief of the department, Or
dering that company to vacate their present
quarters, and occupy No. As out on Avenue
X. The company have resolved not to obey
the orders of the Chief, and il tits attempted
to be enfo ced they will ask to be sus-
pended. Engine Company No. c, has also
been ordered to transfer their engine, horses,
and hose reel over to the city authorities.
The engine and hose reel are the property of
the company, and they most swear that they
will sec the city damned before they will
give up their company property. Trouble
is anticipated with the IRE laddies. In the
meanwhile insurance on property has de-
cided upward tendency.
A startling rumor is on the street tonight
that Jay Gould has purchased the Gulf Col
orado & Santa Fe railroad. How much ere
dence is to be placed in it at this late hour, |
am unable to state, but will investigate and
give results in my next.
A very pleasant anil highly enjoyable

spersed with music, vocal and instrumental,
of a high order.
