SAN ANTONIO FOUNDED.

The City Of San Fernando de Austurias
Was laid off by Don Joseph An
tonic de Nilla-SenOr y Sanchez,
comptroller general of the royal
accounts of quicksilver, and cos
mOgrapher of this kingdom New
Spain or MeXicO.) The following
is taken from his report ITO the
king of Spain, in 11lS,' entitled,
province of Texas, towns and
forts. speaking of the Preside de
San Antonio de BeXar,) he says:
This immense country begin
ming at the Medina river, that
divides the province of COaguila
from this. From the Medina
river to the Preside of San An
tonic de BeXar, seven leagues.
This fort PresidiO) of San An
tonic de BeXar is distant from
that of MOnclova, chief settle
ment of Nueva EstTamadura 10
leagues. and is the capital of the
province of Texas and New Phil
ipinas.,, although the.presidio of our
lady del Pillar de los Adaes ought
to he the capital on account of its
being situated nearer to the from
tier of Louisiana, and the river
NachitOces. The fort of San An
tonic has garrison composed of
"A captain. one lieutenant, one en-
sign, one sergeant and forty-seven
soldiers; it is situated adjoining
and contiguous to the town of
San Fernando. the church of which
is in charge of priest belonging
to the diocese of Guadalajara.
Climate is mild. 1t is situated in
latitude 30 degrees and ) minutes
and longitude PA degrees and )
minutes.
This town was founded by his
eX"ellency, the Marquis of Casa
Fuerte, vicerOy of this New Spain
in the year 1871. Contrary to the
custom of his predecessor he did
not give his name to the town
that he founded, but that of San
Fernando. in honor of the heir to
the crown, the present Don Fer
nandO de Asturias. who now
governs Spain very happily. To
settle this town cOlOnists
were brought from the Canary
islands, and | was ordered to lay
out the egidiOs or town track and
survey and put in possession the
settlers, which order | faithfully
executed" Lie.

A COMING REVIVAL SEASON.

With Next Sabbath Mr. Clapp and Mr.
Herald will Begin Evangelical Work in
Yankton-A Trained Choir of Fifty Sing.
ers to Assist.
A series of meetings in the Congrega-
tional church of this city under
the direction of Rev. Mr.. Clapp
and Charles Herald, of Chicago,
will begin next Sunday morn
ing at eleven o'clock. Great prepara-
ton has been made for these meetings
and it is hoped that the religious senti-
ment of this community may be
thoroughly enlisted and that great good
may be done. Our city has long been
noted for its moral, educational and
religious spirit. The public schools of
our city have been for
years far in advance of any
thing in this northwest. The most
enterprising and successful college Of
the territory is located here. Our
churches are notably large in their men,
bership and we'll attended, and there is
every reason to believe that this effort
in the right direction will be productive
of great good.
MIR. Herald, who comes from Chicago
to assist in this work, is a man of rare
power and ability. and has led, for. years
the large chorus choir in Moody's taber-
nacle of that city. This is not only the
largest but one of the best (If not tho
best choirs in Chicago.
A platform extending across the
north end of the Congrega-
tional church and large enough to az
comodate the speaker and, sixty or more
singers, has been erected and it lie in
tended to organize q choir of fifty or
more voices who will meet tonight and
tomorrow night to drill.
Our people should cordially support
this effort, as it is understood to be in
no sense a Unconventional movement,
but an earnest attempt to aid christians
in building up o religious life and to
advance the cause of righteousness and
God in our city.

a stone Threwer RasEed.

Sioux City journal: The parties who
threw the stone through the car window
were caught yesterday by John Nc
Donald, special for the Milwaukee road.
Their names are Dewitt Harrison and
Louis Moura. They were taken before
Justice Smythe at Elk Point, and plead
guilty. Harrison confessed to throwing
the stone and exonerated Lis partner
fully. The case will be given to the
grand jury o in session at Elk Point,
tomorrow, and Harrison will be dealt
with as he deserves. John Mcdonald
deserves credit for the way he worked
the case, and the lesson Harrison may
learn may serve as pointers for others
who think it smart or wish to vent q
personal spite by throwing stones
through the windows of moving trains.
