Rev. A. II. Wright delivered an admirable
lecture on temperance at City Hall last night
The prevailing sentiment was that there must
be something besides law to establish temper
ance on sound and enduring basis. Public
sentiment must be in favor of it. He thought
young children should be instructed in the
evi of drink and SO brought up that they
would shun liquor as they now shun any crime.
Good music was furnished by the quartette

The Cumberland street Fire

In the hurry of writing the article on the
above subject Saturday, the Advertiser includ-
ed all the m orning papers as censuring Machi-
gonne ste amer for neglect and carelessness.
The PRESS account was correct. The Argus
said
"Machigonne got stuck in the snow near
five's house. An extra horse was procured,
but they had no chains or ropes such as the
emergency required, and long time was vast
ed in findi ing some. With such bad going il
would have been wisdom to have prepared for
emergencies"
Machigonne does not respond to first alarms
from the box rung in, Falmouth taking that
box by official order of December 9th. When
the Machigonne's horses were telephoned for
they were sent to help No. SIS steamer which
was stuck near that engines house. Machi-
gonne is always prepared for emergencies, with
extra hook or tongue for extra horses large
coil of rope at back of engine, axes, and all
needful appliances to help along in bad going
In fact we have known Machigonne company
for twenty years, and always found them
prompt and active.

Rowing.

John A. Kennedy writes the Boston Herald
that large number of scullers would appear
in the National races If different system of
classification was adopted. There is a great
rush for giants, and a good big man will always
beat good little man. He would have four
classes: first, heavy weights free to all; second
middle weights; third, light weights; fourth,
juniors Any and all weights should be allow
ed to row in the junior races, as it is generally
conceded that light man will learn much
quicker than heavy man, 'and, in the Junior
events, that fact would counterbalance the adj
vantage on the other SIDE Not so in subse
quent races, however, as the large man, hay-
ing had training, has become expert; can use
his power to advantage; and therefore, should
be compelled to start in the class of heavy men
weighing more than 145 or 100 pounds-men of
the build of Courtney, Riley, Lee, Mumford,
Murray, Gaizel, Holmes and Buckley. We
have had some good little men in Roach, Rath-
borne, Blake, Lyons and others might name,
but they were driven out of rowing by the odds
against them. IT these men could have
chance to row in either the second or the third
class that have suggested, they would be in
duced to take up rowing again, and many
young men who are not of large build, and,
who, by reason there of ARE deferred from strug-
Cling ag ainst more powerful club associates OF
rivals outside, would prepare at once for action

NEW COURT HOUSE, Mr..
James Wahrenberger, an archi-
tect of Austin, is in the city and
at the meeting of the commits
sioners' court on Monday he
presented the detailed plans,
elevations and a perspective
view of a proposed courthouse,
together with the detailed spe-
cihcations for its construction.
The building presents an im-
posing appearance, being two
stories with mansard roof and
tower in center of main front.
The style of architecture is that
known as renaissance. The
size of the building is to be Sc
by 100, the first story to be ID
feet in the clear and the second
twenty. On the ground floor
there is ample provision for the
various county offices and fire
proof vaults for the treasurer,
the district clerk and the county
clerk, on the second floor. there
is a large and elegant court
room and also jury and judges
rooms. The county court
room is on the first floor. The
extreme height of the building
to top on tower is o2 feet and
to the top of cornice al feet.
The estimate cost of this build
ing of Austin brick with Austin
stone facing is $4,000, or if
built entirely of stone about
$1,000 more. The necessity
for a new courthouse is, we be-
lieve almost universally admit
ted. To repair and remodel
the present building would be
almost a useless expense as
none of it could be utilized ex-
cept the bare walls and they are
cracked and broken in places.
The county is wealthy
and populous and a fine
courthouse would be an
honor to the county and
the people. A new one is an
absolute necessity, and the only |
question is, shall it be built now |
or postponed till the future, |
meanwhile the records are in |
constant danger. Fine public |
buildings always make favor
able impression on strangers
and prospectors.

ANOTHER PLAN.- Mr.. NJ.
Russi, architect and builder of
this city, on Tuesday waited on
the county commissioners and
presented the plans for a new
courthouse. The dimension of
the building are to be II by IS
feet. On the ground floor rooms
are provided for all the county
Offices, including separate rooms
for the county judge and county
attorney. There is also a COM
modious county court room as
we'll as fire proof vaults for the
county and district clerks, tax
collector and county treasurer.
On the second floor is the dis
trict court room 40 by 70 feet
and also four good sized rooms
for grand jury,jury and attached
witnesses. The building is to
have a mansard roof and tower.
The first story is to be 10 feet
in the clear and the large court
room - feet. The height to
the cornice is to be ~ feet and
to the top of the dome So feet,
The estimated cost of this build
ing, constructed of Houston
brick, is $40, 900, or Whereabouts.
The perspective view OF Mr..
Russi's plan presents a very
fine appearance, but of course
it is not as large or as imposing
as the $4,000 plan presented
the day before, Mr.. Russi is
the architect and builder OF the
Giddings and Lieb building and
also of the GRADER buildings,
old and new. He has made an
examination of the old court
house and says that while it
might be repaired and remod-
eled, it would be much better
in the long run to build a new
house out and out.

This community was shocked
yesterday, on hearing the sad
intelligence of the sudden and
unexpected death Of Mr.. Allen
Taylor, whose late residence is
IN close proximity to this place.
The facts relating to this sad at
fair is in substance as follows:
About ten o'clock yesterday
morning whilst Mr.. Taylor's
family were absent from his
house, except Mrs. Taylor, who
was busily engaged in attending
to her household affairs, Mr..
Taylor got his gun and went
out to the wood pile tied
string to a stick which was
about three feet long, placed
the muzzle of the gun to his
head and fired it off with the
stick in his hand. Mrs. Taylor
on hearing the report of the
gun went out to learn the cause
of the report, when to her SUI
prise, she beheld her husband
lying on the ground and the gun
by him. he was bleeding and as
she supposed dead. She gave
the the alarm, life was not yet
extinct. DIR. S. Bowers was
sent for but only arrived in time
to see him breathe his last; he
lived about one hour after the
fatal shot was fired, but was
speeches.. An inquest was
held and verdict was rendered
in accordance with the facts
elected.
Deceased was no doubt
laboring under spell of mental
arrangement at the time he |
committed the deed. The cause |
of his mental arrangement, was |
doubtless the result of severe
attack of sunstroke which he
received some years ago, from
the effects of which he never |
entirely recovered; he vas, if
correctly Informed about II
years of age, he emigrated from
Tennessee to this county about
the year 1851 or 1857, settled
on and improved the place upon
which he resided up TO the day
of his death; was a farmer by
profession was naturally very
industrious, was in easy
circumstances and without any
pecuniary embarrassment. had
for many years been a devoted
of the Missionary
Baptist Church, during which
time he lived the life ola Jealous
and truthful christian, he had
the good will of all who knew
him; to know him was but to
love and respect him. In short
feel 1t impossible to do justice
to the memory of this our most
worthy and highly esteemed
citizen, throng the medium of a
short letter. He leaves a wife
eight children and a host of
trends to mourn his death.
The funeral obsequies, took
place at the Union cemetery
about two o'clock this even
ng, a large concoures, of citizens
was in attendance to pay their
asst tribute Of respect to his
sacred memory. Peace be to

Guilty occurred between w. 1.

M. hir Lucius a welt over the

peared and arrested Mcmahon;
crown OF negroes, some it is
said with pistols, gathered and
although bond was offered
McMaahon he was taken
by 1nge to the bastile and lock-
ed up. For a few minutes
things are said to have looked
quite squally. Marshal Doran
came over from the fair grounds
and at once released Mcmahon
on bond. Doran had given
Inge special instructions not to
arrest or attempt to arrest a
white man under any circum-
stances, and his arrest Of Nc
Mahon was a disobedience OF
orders. 1t is likely that Inge
will be relieved.

FIRE Wednesday morning
a little before daylight early
risers smelt smoke. The fire
alarm was sounded and prompt
ly responded to. Small quanti-
ties of smoke were seen issuing
from the store Of A. Aaronstein
on St. Charles street next door
to the old Schwarz building.
The doors were broken open
and the counter was found to be
on fire smudging, the want of
air prevented its breaking out in
a blaze. The timely applica-
ton of few buckets of water
put the fire out. The general
appearance of things led to the
belief that thare had been in
cendiarism; a fire inquest was
held by Justice Hackworth and
alter a careful and patient inves-
tigation the jnry returned a YER
dict that the fire originated
from some cause unknown to
the jury. 1t is stated by Mr..
Aaroustein's friends that he had
lately came here from Navasota,
where he had been clerking for
the past two years; that he had
just purchased an entire new
stock of cooks paying therefor
500 in cash, He had been
open here about a couple Of
weeks ard had but recently, at |
the solicitation OF a friend insur- |
ed his goods with McClung & |
Robinson, agents. who had writ |
ten him a policy for $500 in the
La Conhance Insurance COM
pany OF Paris, France. When
the fire alarm was given Mr.. A.
was sound asleep at his room
in the Mcintyre house. The
exact loss could not be asser-
tanned, but it will probably be
between $500 and $500.
