Galveston, April 21.-To-dsy has been by
far the gala day of the fest. at the break OF
day the Galveston artillery opened the fes-
t%ivilies with a grand salute of f%orty-fve
guns awakening the people to a knowledge
of the fact tina to-day they were to celebrat
their great and glorious natal day of indie
pendence. As early as eight o'clock the
procession began forming, and thence on I'M
til about II o'clock when it was entirely
formed in the following order:
First division-Firemen, engines and pet
hors and visiting singers.
Second INSTRUMENTATION Artillery, with
three guns and fifty cadets of st. Mary's
college, and the Washington Guards.
Third ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ia carriages and
the may or and board of aldermen.
The procession was formed at the corner
of Strand and Bath avenue, and after march,
ing through the principal streets
ended at Sandsrs' garden picnic grounds,
where the military we're dismissed, and every
one of them began TO enjoy himself. The
weather, though very uupropitious after a
few April showers, cleared up and tonight
is cool, pleasant and delightful. The pro.
cession was one Of the grandest of the kind
ever seon in the city, and the streets along

anxious eyes eager to catch .glimpses
of the brillif 1t displays made by the iremen
and military. At the garden everything in
the way of amusement was to be found, and
it seemed as though the city was vacated, all
turned out to celebrate their glorious indie
p~endence. 1t is estimated that fully seven
thousand people we're in attendance on the
picnic. Dancing has commenced, under the
electric light, and will be continued until late
Nothing unpleasant has taken place to mar
the happiness ofsny one. The grand triumph

fremont streets, fell with crash this morn
tngjust before the procession passed, crush,

MURDER OF AN ENGLISHMAN
In TENERIFFE.

\ correspondent writes under date,
Porto de O1otara, July The execution
OF TWO Spauiards, Pedro Armas aud Mau-
uel Brilo, for toe murder Of an Englirh-
man W and a half years ago, took place
on the 2Dd of July in the Port OF Orotara
Ieuerlife, Canary Islands. The murder
WAS one of the most horrible and cold
blooded ever committed. 1t appears that
the victim, Mr.. James William Morris,
was employed in an English house OF
business at Port Orotara, and was on very
intimate terms with the two murderers,
SO much so that it is supposed he informed
them that he carried the keys Of q safe in
which was deposited a large sum OF money.
THIS excited their cupidity; and one even
irg they enticed the unfortunate man to
an uufrequented spot a shot distance
from the town, near a cemetery, and there,
while quietly walking along together one
threw u handful of lime into his eyes, and,
after knocking bin down with o heavy
stick, they both stabbed him. After ran
sacking the body. taking among other
things the keys of the safe, they carried his
body into the cemetery, and, opening a
tomb, threw in the body; then, after
closing 1t, they sat down on the stone TO
smoke a cigar; one remarking that Morris
could not complain, as they had given him
Christian burial. Unfortunately for them,
when replacing the stone that covered the

tomb they broke off a small piece from the
corner , and tour days afterwards u blind
boy who was attending a funeral was
attracted to he tomb by the strong smell
OF decomposition, and the people with him
observed several flies issuing from a hole
in the corner. The authorities were
informed Of it and caused the stone to be-
raised, when Morris's body was found 10 o
high state OF decomposition, The money
having been stolen from the safe, suspicion
fell upon Pedro Armas and Manuel Brito,
as both had a bad reputation and were
known to bave been intimate friends OF the
murdered man, Strong and conclu-
sive evidence Of their guilt having been
brought against them, they were arrested,
tried, and sentenced to death. They We're
then sent to prison to await a confirmation
OF the sentence from Madrid, where they
remained two and a half years, during
which time several petitions were present
ed to the authorities in order to procure
the remission of the sentence however,
thanks to The untlring efforts OF the
English Consul at Santa Cruz, the confr-
nation at length arrived, and the execution
was fixed for the 2nd July. AS soon as
the date was fixed the murderers were
urged to confess their horrible crime, but
refused to make any statement until the
eve Of the execution, when they both
admitted the murder and also confessed
having committed several robberies, at
tempting to shoot a Spaniard, and twice
setting FIRE to the Judges house. On the
morning Of the 2ud OF July the inhabitants
of Ofotara were asfir very early, and at
5 a.. m. a large number Of people from sill
parts OF the island had collected at the
scal0ld, which had been erected during
the night or the very spot where the
murder was committed. Three hours
later. the prisoners left the gaol in a small
cart, accompanied by a priest holding a
crucifx; they were both dressed IN black
gowns with tall black hats. The elder OF
the two, Pedro Armas, appeared to be
very much affected, but his companion
showed no 81 gns OF feeling whatever. They
were to suffer death by fgarTotting,' and to
die facing the cemetery. Arrived at the
scnffold, they were both led on to the plat
form, and after having kissed the cruciix
and received absolutioo from the priest
they were seated side by side,each. with his
back against the post to which the instru-
ments Of death were fixed. There being
only one executioner one man had to
witness the others death. Pedro Armas
was the first to suffer, and the wretched
man himself aided the eyecutioner to put
the irons round his neck before being
bound. He suffered considerably before
dying, as the executioner, being a very
old man, had not sufficient strength to
screw the irons tight enough. The exprv-
sion on the dying mans face which
was exposed to view, as no bandages
were used. was indescribable, the eyes
starting from their sockets and the tongue
protruding in a horrible manner. The
other prisoner died almost instantaneously.
Their bodies remained till sunset, when
they were taken down and buried but
the scatfold still remains as a warning to
all evil-dOers.o-TimeS
