Runaways we're quite frequent yesterday
AT IL o'clock yesterday Mr.. Cannon's horse
attached TO wagon ran out of his yard and
dashed down Machanic street, just opposite
Heidenheimer Bros. Captain Atkins, the
chief of police, ATTEMPTED to stop the fright
ened animal by seizing him by the brdle but
the reins broke loose from the bit leaving
the bride in tho Captains hand, and the
horse dashed forward in his mad career, and
WAS eventually checked up on Luikin's
wharf without committing any serious
damage. This was followed at 1880 by Mr.
BogePs horse attached to light wagon,
taking fright on Strand street and running
away, upsetting the wagon and throwing the
driver out at the corner of 9th street. The
horse was soon after stopped. The driver
was slightly injured. Mr.. Robinson's horse
attached to cart took fright about 6 clock
at tho corner of Fifteenth and Broad way.
and ran down Fifteenth to Winnie street,
where he was checked up without any ma
terisl damage being done to horse. wagon or
driver.--The City Health Officer has
issued notice defining the locality where

were made yesterday for violation of the city

treatment at the Houston Infrmary, for
paralysis Of the right side for sometime, and
came down here several weeks ago, and en-
tered the hospital, has, under the tender care
of the Sisters of Mercy, became much i'm
proved. Last Wednesday she applied to the
Chief of Police for assistance to return to
her home in Corsicana. The Chief, after
hearing the girls story, became interested in
her behalf, and through Captain McCor-
mick, presented her case to number of
citizens, who promptly responded, and
money enough was soon raised to replenish
the girls wardrobe and send the unfortunate
woman to her home.-A shark six foot

The heat was so intense Wednesday night
last that the steamship Josephine, with
cattle aboard, from Clinton for New Orleans,
had seven suhocate, and was compelled on
reaching this port to discharge and feed and
water the balance here before pro-
ceeding on her voyage. Sixty
more head were added at this port
Galveston has certainly forgotten the prompt
and noble response that was made when
she was u sufferer by the terrible cyclone of
1875, as no effort has been made on the part
of her commercial men or Cotton Exchange
to extend relief in the way of supplies or
money for the relief of the Savoy or Brsck-
ettsvile sufferers. Such stolid Indifference
on the part of the chief commercial city OF
Texas is open to sharp criticism and will not
| strengthen Galveston in the hearts of the
people of North and West Texas. The
Broadway Baptist church, however, is Il nota =
BILE exception. They, at covenant meeting
held last Wednesday evening, took up &C l.
lection for the Savoy uflsrers.-Large

United States Circuit court yesterday Judge
Bradley denied the application of d. G.
Hitchcock Il Co. for mandamus to compel
the city to levy tax for the purpose of pay

court being of the opinion that no sufficient
ground for mandamus exists in the merits
of the case. In the same court
Messrs. Allen, Poole IL Co. were
discharged from bankruptcy and the
trustees were lieved Of all liability. In
1874, Allen, Poole 4 Co. made an assignment
for the benefit Of their creditors, and since
then the matter has been going through the
different courts, and the case, in consequence
of the magnitude of the amount involved
and the prominence of the parties interested,
has attracted great deal of attention. -

schooner Lydia, at Lufkin's wharf, took $40

weakening on the part Of Grants hackers.

Mrs. b. Il. Davis, her sister and her sister-in-
