The ustIn Greys Enter the Liats at
the Mobile Drill.
The fact has more than once been
mentioned in THE STATESMAN that
on the 4th of May next, the greatest
Interstate drill that ever came off in
the United States will take place st
Mobile, Ala. It was also Well-knoWn
that the Austin Greys were particu-
larly anxious to go. For some time
1t was a matter OF uncertainty; now it
has been happily decided in the affirm
alive. 1t ought to be source of pride
too, to every citizen in the Capital City
that these gallant syoung fellows are
going to attend. They represent in an
eminent degree the dash and bravery,
the culture and manhood of Austin.
There is not single "carpet knight"
in thelot, and if severe traiging, and
high endeavor to win, count for any
thing, there is splendid prospect of
our Austin boys coming back as vic
day and night. They expect to re-
days. 1t is the favorlte gray, with
navy blue trimmings and handsome
helmets. The boys will leave Austin
on the first of May, and on their re-
turn will engage in ano ther competi-
tive drill at the Exposition. 1t is al
NEST too much to expect them to win in
botn contests; yet stranger things have
taken place. Anyway, they have the
best wishes of the entire town for
their success. The following is list
of the men who are going, consisting
of five officers and twenty-four picked

TEXAS DAY.
How Tie Glorious Twenty-First
Will be Observed at the
Great Fair.

The tWenty-first of april IS the day
of DAYS in the annals of Texas. Time
can never dim one iota of its glorieS,
and the fame of San Jaclnto will go
sounding down the ages, challenging
the admiration of mankind, as long as
the love of gallant deeds and lofty pa
triotism endures on earth.
1t is peculiarly fitting that this his
toric day should have been
chosen for Texas at the Worlds
Fair. A number of the states have
already celebrated their "day" Did
any of them fall on an anniversary so
famous? Not one. In truth, not a
tory, can furnish parallel. The re-
suits of that decisiYevictory, won by
Houston and ibis noble band, are
known to the world! for they altered
the destiny Of country imperial in
Texas OF to-day
1t is with pc, altar pride that the
Texans who visit New Orleans on the
21St Of next month, can par
ticipate in the occasion. The day
reflects additional lustre on the
commonwealth, which manifest des-
tiny has surely decreed will be the
foremost and greatest of all the states
of the American Union. All men
can see this now; but it was the fiat
of fate from tt" ginning.
In regard to this occasion Governor
Ireland was lately the recipient of the
following letter from Commissioner
Elliot:
NEW ORLEANS, March %, 1885.
To His .Exeellency John Ella Governor
Austin, Texas:
DEAR SIR:-I will commence with
in the next few days arranging for
the celebration of "Texas Day."
These days are great events in the
history of the states here, and are
made the occasion for not only
much controversy and generous con-
VITALITY, but for immense benefit
to the states. Thus far some
eighteen or twenty have celebrated
their days respectively. Enter
have been furnished cost
ing from 5000 to 81, 800; speeches have
been made; pamphlets and other
works showing up the resources of
their states have been distributed by
the thousands. Souvenirs in the
shape Of badges, medals, etc, have
been issued to the thousands Of visi-
tors present at the celebrations, and
by these means the states and terri
tories have derived much benefit. l
have been calculating as to how small
an amount we could get along
with. To have the cheapest band
of music, ice cream and cake, ac-
companied by lemonade and
cider and those little souvef
mir badges, together with the cost o.
printed invitations, such as are custo
mary on such occasions. will cost in
the neighborhod of 1925 to $3.50. l
have figured it down to the very low
est, and 1 wish l could make it even
cheaper, but l hardly see how it is
possible. l don't think any of the
states thus far. or territories, have
gotten along with. less than $500 for
their entertainments.
He closes by predicting a successful
Celebration that shall rebound to the
credit of the Lone Star State.

THE RESULT
was quickly reached. On returning
to the Senate chamber, Mr.. Terrell
read the report of the committee,
which recommended the dismissal of
Alex. Sampson from the Senate. Ran
dolph made brief speech ID favor of
the adoption OF the repSrt, and the
vote was taken. Twenty-one Senators
| voted to expel. Jerdone refrained from
voting and was about to explain his
| action, when motion to excuse him
was carried.
Senate the House committee was en-
gagged in examining into the case OF
| Tyron. AS the committee would not
allow reporters to enter, nothing
could be ascertained of their
proceedings except their con
clusion. They were so rate in getting
out their report, however, that the
House had adjourned, before it wa;
brought in. The House Committee
had done exactly as everybody ex-
pected, and in substance was to the
effect that Tryon was
GUILTY OF BLACKMAIL,
and recommended that he b;
expelled. This report viii
come up in the House to morrow
and it is not difficult to fore
tell what action will be taken. No
body doubts that it will be adopte,
and that TrYon will share precisel,
the same fate that Sampson did.
Both these men are to-day in al
exceedingly bad plight. Both are dis
graced publicly, but of the two Samp
sons dishonor is greatest. Verify i

corruption. Little did he dream when
assuming an air of injured innocence
that retributinn on swift wings was
about to oYeItake him. The expose
came in at the right time. Justice,
for once, was not baked. Thus was
the picture and the sketch both veri-
fled. Both were true to the life.

The nominee for president of City
Council, John q. Farra, is at present sec
retary and treasurer of the Baltimore Il
Philadelphia Railroad Company, and is
about 80 years of age. He is native of
Wilmington, IL son of ex-Chief Engineer
of the Surveying Department Daniel
Farra, and was educated Mt the public
schools ind the late L. Clarkson Taylor's
well known academy. He was iii the sur
veyor's Office with his father for several
years, and about eight years ago was
appointed secretary and treasurer of the
Delaware Western Railroad Company, in
which position lie was continued when
the road was purchased by and merged
into the Baltimore n Philadelphia rail-
road. In 1879 the Democratic majority
of City Council was desirous of making
him chief engineer of the surveying
department, but he declined the proffered
honor He has never held any public
Office, but is thoroughly conversant with
public affairs, and is an unusually avail
able candidate for the office for which he
has been nominated. He is consistent
Democrat, and though he never indrlged
in any official aspirations always took III
active interest in political affairs. He
has been twice secretary of the City
Democratic Association, and wns secre-
tary of the Bayard Association Mt Cincin-
nati in 1880 and Chicago i'll 1884. He
will poll the full strength of his party Mt
the election, and will doubtless receive
considerable support from Republicans
among whom he is we'll known and well
liked unless IN exceptionally strong can
didate is nominated against him.
Mr.. Farrl's nomination was complete
surprise to him, ms he did not aspire to
the position nnd was out of town when
the nomination was made on Saturday
evening. He is holding the matter under
advisement, and will announce his de-
termination in Il few days.

Scout Finnncr Becomes More Com
nden' and Keeps IscIIcr Order az
the Meeting "f s;,IvaGiDnisls in the
OId Foundry.

The time is now here. Behold the
clock that's in the steeple,n cried Scout
Linneus Flanner when he rrached Tent
and Market ut o'clock Sunday night.
and the intelligent youths that enuJp
passed him about loudly coincided wi h
him. 'Linneus will you never go
home 2" observed n facetious young man.
and other jibes were cast ut him. unit,
the police arrived and restored something
like order.
One thousand people is small estimate
of the attendance ut last nights meeting.
The performance opened with Linneus,
Captain Hartglove of Baltimore and
man from Camden in II tambourine over
ture, entitled ''Will you go?" The tam
bourines did some fine work but they had
poor support. MIR. Flanner isn't much of
a singer, but when he smiles in the face
of large audience and picks up tho col.
lection plate some of those present be-
come weary.
During the rendition of '.Will YOU goy'
IN untaned youth from the outskirts
averred that he would. The scout took
him ut his word and saw him ns lar rs the
main entrance.
Scout Planners mas41er toward the
youth of this city had greatly changed
since the Sunday previous. Then he
gently told the unruly that if they
must break the benches they
would please spare the borrowed lamp.
Sunday night when the scout put himself
IN defiant attitude and said '.Now you
can either set down and stop talking or
go out" the young sport quailed and
the small boy was by no means equal to
the emergency
Mr.. Flanner took up several collections
during the evening, and said, among
other things, that the lord and your
self are always majority against the
devil" Several women in the audience
arose and spoke as did three young men
who had been brought into the salvation
camp. When the meeting was at its
hight, the man from Camden wanted all
who believed i'll the power of prayer to
raise their hands. And the small boy
raised his hand in clusters and cried
'here !" The Scout, who was crouching
on the platform, gave Var CFy and
with bound went out on picket duty.
The irreverent youths at once arose and
fed out into the darkness. Billy Wray,
was conspicuous by his absence and it
was announced that he was fighting hard
in another battle field, but that he was
steadily advancing ON Wilmington.

Church Convention.

The executive committee of the General
Conference of the A. U. F. @. NJ. p.
Church Connection has decided to call a
general convention of the connection
on or before September 25th next, at
some place yet to be selected, for the fol-
lowing reasons: First, because of the
general declension of the convention /;
second, because the literary departments
of our churches and connection are gener-
ally defective third, because we have no
system or means for the education of our
ministers fourth, because there is no
uniform system OF Sabbath school teach
ing, and the want of general interest on
the part of the members of the connection
in Sabbath schools fifth, because in the
matter of eleeting ministers by the
churches, should only be by those who
are bona fide financial members, and
where the election and appointing powers
of the conference are contradictory and
conflicting with the book of discipline
and church government generally.

The Pennsylvania Locking Horns
with 10 on the Neck.


PHILADELPHIA, May 13.-The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company to-day locked
horns with the Baltimore Il Ohio in the
"Ncck," and that dreary section of
meadow land and marsh is likely To be
the scene of open warfare between the two
big railroads before the Maryland corpor-
alton succeeds in getting its freight line
constructed across the lower part of the
city from river to river. Appearances
now are that the fight will be as lively
outside courts md councils as it now
is within. Eight hundred laborers
were employed to-day grnding
and preparing n road bed for
the Baltimore Il Ohio across the
"Neck." Another gang of workmen COM
manded by construction bosses Of the
Pennsylvania railroad were working with
might and main also at various points
throwing up high embankmcnts and laying
extra tracks. To the representatives Of
the B. d o. the new departure on the part
of their great rival meant obstruction
and delay for the new road. The
Pennsylvania road has, in fact taken
possession of its full right of way
60 feet wide on Commercial avenue,
in the neighborhood of Mitfiin, Moore,
Meadow and Mexican streets, where the
Baltimore q Ohio line will cross, and are
laying three tracks where only one has
been needed. The same work of tripling
the tracks has been performed on Swan
son street, where the Baltimore a. Ohio
will again cross. At one point an embank-
ment IL feet high has been built across
the Baltimore & Ohio grades. In the
meantime the new company makes rapid
progress.
The work all through the "Neck" is
very difficult, and anything but agreeable
at the wet season of the year. Many of
the worlSmen of both forces have to labor
in water two feet deep. The work by both
companies is being rapidly pushed, and
orders have been issued by the Baltimore
" Ohio to have the trackbed from river to
river and up along the Schuylkill finished
and ready for the rails by September LIST.
