THE CHARITY BALL.
City Hall Presented Gay Scene
Last Evening.

Gallery Well Filled With spectators-A
GoodIy sum for the Invalids' Home.
aIhe Charity ball for the benefit of the
lnyalids' Home, occurred at City hall
last evening. The preliminary concert
py Gilberts' full or chestra Of ten pieces
ald not begin till s. 80 O'Clock, but by Il
SO many spectators had gathered in the
gallery, (the price of admission being
5o cents) that ali the front seats and
ose in the second row all the way
around were taken. BY the time the
uancing began there were at least 400
people in the galleries.
After brief and charming concert by
the orchestra, at about nine O'Clock the
reception committee, or patronesses, en-
tered the. hall on the arms of the ushers,
and on the carpeting in one corner await
ed the arrival Of the dancers. The COM
mittee were, Mrs. George G. Frye, Mrs.
Samuel Augustus Stevens, Mrs. Charles
Payson, Mrs. DR.. Spalding, Mrs. e. III.
York.
The dancers to the number Of about
nifty couples, came onto the floor in pro-
cession. The unusual spectacle was pre-
sented Of p,ore gentlemen than ladies.
The row of wall flowers in black coats
and white shirt fronts must have been as
pleasant and unusual for the ladies to wit
ness as it was the reverse for the gentle
men,
The small numbers rendered the dane
ing especially enjoyable because there
was plenty of room. 1t also rendered the
spectacle more beautiful because there
was less orowding and more Of uninter-
rupted and rythnical motion in the
round dances. The number, however
was increased later in the evening by
many who had been attending Mrs. Nc
Donald's reception in honor of the return
home Of her son and ghter-in-law,
MI. and Mrs Grant Mcdonald. Under
the rear gallery was handsome apart
ment formed by draperies and elegantly
furnished. This was the tea room. Her Q
sat several small tables where tea was
bowl, carved from block of ice and full
OF ice water.
At intermission Caterer Robinson
served oyster patties, salads, ices, cakes
and coffee.
The committee Of arrangements was as
follows: Mrs. G. II. PaysoD, Mrs.
George G. Frye, Mrs. j. A. SpaildEg,
Mrs. E. H. York, Mrs. G. o. K. Cram,
Mrs. S. A. Stevens, Mrs. Henry L. Tay-
lor, Miss Marcia B. Knight, Miss Matil-
da 6. Clifford, Miss Nina Fassett, Miss
Helen 9. Brown.
The floor manager was Nathan Clifford
and his aids were Wadsworth Noyes,
John f. A. Merrill, Philip j. Deering,
John G. Allen. Elias Thomas, Jr., Fred
erick q. Fassettp Edward d. Noyes, Ar
thur S. Bosworth, Harrison M. Davis

Rocket suggested that they fight it out

AS Rocket stepped forward he fell dead,

FLYER WRECKED,

Out of Fifry-Two Passengers None Were
Killed.
HoUsToN, Tex, June 2O.-The north.
bound flyer on the Missouri, Kansas and
1exas was wrecked ten miles north of
here last night at branch Of White Oak
bayou, which is usually dry, but is now
swollen by heavy rains. Engineer Henry
Garrett, within twenty yards of the
bridge, saw it sag and applied the air
brakes, which partially reduced the mo-
mentum. The engine stuck to the track,
but the tender, baggage car, smoker and
two coaches turned over. The injured
are: j. W. Slecum, fireman, hurt in the
side; John Graham, I'M jured in the back,
hip and side, may die; Z. D. Renfro,
baggagemastcr, bruised in the back;
Butler Davis, injured in chest, jaw
broken; Allen johnson, aged 5 years,
injured on hip. The injured we're
brought to Houston and placed in the
hospital. 1t is feared some are Injured
internally. There were fifty-two passen.
gers on the train and considering that
two coaches were reduced to kindling
wood, their escape from death is mi
raculous.
