MOTHER GOOSE"
The Old Fashioned Dame in New
Quarters.

Aud last night it was "Mother Goose
that held high carnival at Musical Union
hall. The old lady and her brood are
rather grotesque lot of individuals, and
if there YVES anything Represented last
night it was the grotesque. The enter
tainment WAS partly sublime, partly
ridiculous. The former was that portion
of the programme devoted to music.
There we're solos by Mrs. Katzenberger,
Mrs. Gilbert and Mrs. Maxcy; duets by
Mrs. Katzenberger and Mr.. Warner,
and an instrumental selection (piano),
by Miss Ritz. Mrs. Katzenberger re-
pested her successes of the previous even
ing, each song being vociferously recalled.
She was kindness and graciousness en-
bodied, acknowledging each recall in the
way which most pleased the audience, by
granting an encore.
Mrs. Maxcy is Austin's favorite song
stress, and all are delighted when an OPP
portunity is given to hear her sweet voice.
She was in grand voice last evening and
sang her sweetest, being heartily encored
and almost covered with flowers.
The ludicrous and livelier portion of
the programme was the aforementioned
"Mother Goose" and her brood,
in a costume quadrille or lanciers.
To state it mildly, they made hit. The
costumes we're all representative of some
character in Mother Goose's melody,
'cept one. His was original and carried

Arkansas Pass.

Col. VIM. P. Gaines, Hon. w. H. Pope,
Hon. Jno. B. Rector, and Mr.. R. E. Mad
dox, who went down to Arkansas Pass last
Monday with some twenty-five others
from Fort Worth, Dallas, Waco and San
Antonio, returned last night.
They were delighted with their trip, and
after careful examination of the coast,
from , Corpus Christi to Rockport,
thew were satisfied that deep water
can be secured at Arkansas Pass. They
say the country between here and Arkansas
Pass is rich and beautiful, and Austin Is
acting wisely in securing railroad COM
munication with it.
They found the water in Arkansas bay
from thirty to forty feet deep, and on the
bar from eight to ten feet.
The gentlemen are confident it will be
the deep water port of Texas.

Letter From Oak Hill.
ICorrespondence.l

OAK HILL, Travis Co, April 10, 1883.
To the Editor of the Statesman:
Our little town, Oak Hill, seems TO be
waking from a long, drowsy slumber. The
spring rains have carpeted the valleys with
verdant grass, and the wild flowers makes
it look beautiful. Oar springs that we're
almost entirely dry, are now overlooking
with clear wa'er.
Prospects for good crops are very
promising; the farmers all seem to be in
high spirIta. The most Of them have their
corn worked out and are now planting
cotton, ard $ ock are all meuding fast.
Our school opened April 2.
We have church the first Sunday in
every month, and don't forget, we have
one Of the most beautiful groves for bar
becues or cnmp meetings.
The health of this vicinity is good.
There was a supposed mad dog in this
village few days ago. No harm done.
Several have killed their dogs.

HAPPY HEARTS.
A Beautiful and Happy Wedding
Last Night.

The marriage of Mr.. Andrew L. Jack
son with Miss Susie Nj. Rutherford was
solemnized at tho Southern Presbyterian
church last evening at 1880 p. m. Rever-
epd Doctor Smoot Oiliciated in his usual
impressive manner. This happily termed
"rosebud wedding" was ftly em5lematic
of the youthful high contracting parties,
and especially typical of the fair maiden
Just budding into womanhood, who, rs
she passed out from the threshold of the
dear "home nest, "bHde goodbye to girl
hood days.
The floral decorations at the church
were both artistic and profuse. An arch
of roses, surmounted by a "true love knot"
from the center of which was suspended n
marriage bell, made entirely of white
roses, was placed in front Of the altar,
while from each side festoons of roses
were hung on the walls.
Promptly at 1880 the organ pealed forth
the stirring strains of the wedding march,
and the ushers, Messrs. Roger @. Rober-
deau, d. Tom Iglehart, John II. Bur!eson
and Graham w. Baker, proceeded up the
aisle, followed by the bridal party, con-
sisting of four attending couples to the
bride and groom, as follows: Mics Annie
Rutherford aud Mr.. G. M. Hicks, Miss
ellie Baker and Mr.. X. l.. Bats, Miss
Sodie Booth and Mr.. r. u. Culberson, Miss
lallle Walker and Mr.. A. S. Walker. APP
reaching the altar, and passing under
he floral archway, they filed respectively
o the right and left, the bridal couple
standing under the bower of roses.
The bride was handsomely arrayed in
white silk and MORE dress, wearing
natural flowers, white rosebuds and
orange blossoms.
The bridesmaids costumes were white
null, with gBrnituie of rosebuds, each
carrying huge punches of magnificent
buds in hand, tied with ribbons of CORE
spending color Miss Annie Rutherford
carried La France roses; Miss Nellie
Baker cluster of The Bride rose; Miss
Jodie Booth, Jacqenot and Marie Guillot
combined; Miss Sallie Walker reveled in
Irofusion of lovely MarechHl Neil buds.
The closing and very pretty feature cot
The ceremony was the preceding of the
Lewly married ccsple, as they turned from
ihe altar, by little Misses Fanny Ruther-
ford ard Mamie Booth, strewing roses in
their pathway as they passed QUO of the
house of God, man and wife.
The bridal party were driven immedi
ately to the residence of Mr.. A. S. Ruth
erford, father of the bride, where con-
graduation and Rdieus were soon made,
Mr., and Mrs. Jackson leaving on the $3.50
train for New Orleans for brief soiourn.

MAD FRANKS.
A Colored Maniac Creates Some
Excitement.

a COlOr9Q mduldC SISdtSo SOlhO
Excitement.
Yesterday morning negro man, named
Jake Hardeman, at work on the farm of
Mrs. beats, few miles below town,
created some excitement and for time
seriously threatened to commit murder.
Yesterday morning he went to work
p'o8igg but soon after left his
plow standing andreturned to the
house, where he met Mrs. beats
in The yard, and, seizjng her, threw
her over the river bluff, distance OF
about tea feet, but, fortunately, she
was not injured.
He then picked up an ak and made an
attack on some colored folks, but they
managed to get out of his way. He then
mounted horse and was furiOusly riding
him when he was captured and bound.
Several officers here IN the city were
notified, and went down and brought him
in and lodged him in jail. Last evening
he had regained his composure and senses,
and remembered nothing at all of the
morning freak. He says he was blowing
when suddenly he felt peculiar sensa-
ton III the head, and remembered moth
ing until he came to himself and found
he was in jail. He will probably be re-
leased to day.

three hundred official drill medals. This is

that the "toter" found 1t necessary to add
somewhat to his transportation strength,
which, however, was very natural in its
effect After the conn letion of the pro

Mobile Will Send a Representa-
tive to Austin.

The Daily Register, of Mobile, Ala, in
closing long article containing an inter
view with Mr.. Charles T. Hichs, yice-presi.
dent OF the drill board, and also most
complimentary notice of the drill, says:
ut is not certain that any of the Mobile
companies can attend though the Lomax
Rifles will make an effort in that direction,
Mobile certainly ought to be represented
in an affair Of this magnitude. Texas has
always treated Mobile men most cordially,
and the boys will be glad to have an OPP
portuniiy to revisit the Lone Star state.
Business interests may prevent attend
ance, but if it is at all possible the Mo
bile company can be counted on as com
petitor."
Mr.. Hicks is doing valuable work for
the drill His services will result, it is
thought, in bringing several of the crack
companies Of the souh TO our drill.

The county commissioners should COM
mence the building of bridge across the
Colorado at once. The increase of travel
between the north and south sides of the
river. the brilliant financial standing of
the county and the expected heavy crops
of 1888, together with the probability OF
having the depot of the Arkansas Pass
railroad located IN the eastern portion Of
the city, demand its construction before
the next crop begins TO come in, and, if
the signs don't deceive, two bridges may
not be sufficient to accommodate the
travel. Build the bridge, and let's boom

New York, March 24.-GSpecial Telegram
to the BEE. - STocKs--Gould's return 10
New York late last night caused q flutter in
Wall street to-day. All were anxious TO
know what the little man would do in the
market. The bull operators expected him to
sustain the market and the bears looked for
the reverse. The question regarding the
Missouri Pacific dividend was as perplexing
as ever. In some quarters the assertion was
made that a 8 per cent dividend would be de-
clared at Mondays meeting. Gould refused
10 be interviewed about the market, declar-
ing that he had given it no attention for six
months and knew nothing about II. II has
been evident to close observers that Missouri
Pacific was being sold by insiders for several
months, and the general belief is that the
Goulds, and, perhaps. good Deacon Sage,
have quietly filled the crowd up. Parties
having explicit faith in the statements of the
company's oficers-that the road was earn
Ing its dividend and that the campany's af-
fairs were all right-have bought il freely,
believing a z per cent stock cheap below 90.
The price certainly was low, but recent de-
velopments prove the incorractness of the
cheap theory. The entire market hinged on
tue Gould stocks, operators were mostly
bearislf and a decline vas noted i'll London.
News from tho west OF a general strike Of
Burlington swltchmen also tended to cause q
feeling Of depression, and the opening sales
were at declines ranging 10 Il per cent. The
professionals and longs sold Missouri Pacific
heavily and a quick drop of u points result
cd I04 being the lowest price reached.
