nent ship broker had offered to contribute
$4,000 towards sustaining the strikers.

no sign Of disturbance in any quarter.

HousToN, April G,-[Special THE city
council met in called session to discuss the
refusal of p, c, Walker, deiaulting city tax
collector and assessor, to resign at their
| command. Articles of impeachment were
drawn up againt him, and he was granted
tive week days to prepare his defense.
His trial comes up before them next Sat.
urday. The opinion is that this dilatory
method of the council in first CLOSING over
his shortage and allowing his bondsmen to
make it good will make it hard matter
to make an impeachment stick, but
people are thoroughly indignant, and al.
though it is said Walker will contest his
Impeachment, it will do him no good as
his ineiiiciency if nothing else can be con
clusiyely proven.
The German ladies, with their fair last
night at Turner hall, were very successful
and were well patronized. Some of the
most prominent and attractive German
young ladies OF the city managed the differ
ent stands and booths, selling lemonade,
sweet meats substantial edibles and the
like at reasonable prices. The hall pre-.
scented quite gay scene. The fair con.
tinues tonight and tomorrow night.
