THE CHEAP GROCERS.
are full of people who mercilessly pelt
the passers by without regard to rank,
color or condition. No uue is spared from
their good 1 atured attacks, Wit everyone
takes it as a mattei of course, and the
fun grows fast and furious. At an early
hour this morning Recorder Fontaine
made a rush for a passing street car, but
his feet decided that the course of the ad-
ministration was a radical cue, and start-
ed out on their own account. The result
was that. Mr. Fontaine .^ut ribvvd with
foice enough to .bankrupt hi* spinal
column and brake the crystal oi his
watch, while the car continued the even
tenor of its way. The Indies are doing
a little quiet auow-bttiiiug 0 > tiVir'bwn
account, and their screams and laughter
attest that they thoroughly enjoy it. A
well-known citizen, on his way down-
town, had so much ■ f the “beautiful”
poured down toe back of his neck that
he was compelled to return home fur dry
underclothing. A young society' man
undertook to snow-ball a couple of la-
dies of his acquaintance, and was quickly
sent into winter quarters with several
ounces of snow neatly tucked away un-
der his collar. J. E. Mason, the book
man, and P. H. Rose, the photographer,
undertook to enjoy themselves with a
sleigh ride, but the crowd would not
have it, and lMtted them so fast that they
had to give it up. A colored dray driver
took offense at the manner in which the
crowd pelted him, an 1 jumped off w’ith
a heavy loaded whip aud showed tight.
He was quickly knocked down and
buried in snow. Frank Lee, of the firm
of Ricker A Lee. is ainoDg the “wound-
ed.” He happened to get his cheek in
the way of a particularly hard snow-ball
and wears a very7 pretty contusion as the
result. The colored driver of au express
wagon thought to run the gauntlet by
lying down in his wagon, but the crowd
detected him and tilled the vehicle full
of snow, from which, a few' momeuts
later, emerged a very white colored man,
Andrew Baldinger, of the firm of Bal-
dinger Bros., thought a sleigh ride in
sunny Texas would be a. novelty, and
when the crowd got through with him
bis opinion was confirmed. Commodore
Chubb says that he has been here since
’38, and that, the late cold weather aud
the present fall of snow, which is still
falling, is unprecedented. In 1848 there
was a terrible freeze; in 1867 much sleet
and snow; in 1873 a considerable snow-
storm, but it remained for 1886 to cap
the climax aud demonstrate the truth of
the old saying that you can get nuything
you want iu Texas. -
But few street cars are running and
those with “double headers,” while the
business of the city to-day is—snow-
balling and Arctic fun.
ON STRAND.
At the corner of Strand and Center
streets, a lively party, consisting of
Messrs., Hawley, Jeunett, Ketchum,. Jcu-
kinsou' Geo. Sweeney, Virgc, Patrick,
Percy, Hodges, Beers and inauy others,
held their own against all comers, and
mercilessly snowballed every Slrauuite
and others of note whom unhappy
chance directed to at way. Judge Bal-
linger’s presence suspended hostilities.
He went by unscathed, but as the next
man got the judge’s dose, the equilib-
rium of things was restored. In the
custom-house Mr. Jim Bro.vn was held a
distinguished prisoner. WithiD the glass
door he bid defiance to his besiegers, who
howled in chorus on the outside for just
one chance to give him a dose of snow-
ball. The odds were too great, even for
Mr. Brown ta tackle, and at last accounts
he was still waiting his chance to run the
gauutlet. Mr. Gould, the commercial
and marine editor of the News, an 1
Evening Tribune's representative were
also ball-bound for some time, but man-
aged to escape under cover of their lead-
pencils.
A TRICK WHIOIl WORKED.
An old negro driving a dray was set
upon at the corner of Market and Tre-
mont streets. Taking in the situation,
and realizing that his mule was too slow
to escape by flight, he jumped off and
gave battle with snow balls until, yield-
ing to superior cumbers, he ran to a
pile of drift and dropped to the ground
face downwards. Capt. Johuuy Moran,
thereupon ordered to cease firing. There-
upon the darkey jumped up smiling,
mounted his dray and drove off amid the
hurrahs of the crowd.
Manitoba’s Miseries.
Montreal, Quebec, Jin. 12.—Dr Or-
ton, M. P., arrived in the city yesterday
from Winnipeg, and states there is dan-
ger of a rising amODg the Bloods, Black-
feet anti Piegans, in the western portion
of the territories. 'The Doctor states that
they are well aimed.

lin curtains, all of the olden time, are

Annexation of Burmah.
Mandalay, Jan. 12.—The decree pro-
claiming the annexation of Burmah to
Great Britain is well recomd here. The
natives desire t<> t*e entirely subject to the
British government with the idea that,
this wil dishearten pretenders and pre-
vent uprisings of people.
Prison Revolt.
Paris, Jan, 12.—A dispatch from
Riems, a town in the department of Ruy
de Dome, states that six huudred con-
victs iu the prison there have revolted
and secured possession of the pri.-on.
They erected barricades and otherwise
prepared themselves for defensive oper-
ations. Troops have been ordered to
Riems to quell t’ue disturbance.
The Weather.
Washington, Jan, 11.—For the west
gult-stat; s fair weather; in northern por-
tion cloudy weather and local snows in
southern portion, slightly warmer, pre-
ceded in southern poi’tion by nearly,sta-
tionary temperature. Winds generally
easterly. Cautionary signals continue at
Galveston.
Col. Richardson Dead.
New Orleans, Jan. 12.—A dispatch
from Jackson, Miss., announces the death
there last uight of Col. Ed. Richardson,
of the firm of Richardson & May, of this
city. Deceased was president of the late
world’s exposition, and one of the largest
cotton planters in the world. Col. Rich-
ardson was stricken with paralysis while
walking on the street aud died before
aid could reach him.
Opening- of Parliament.
London, Jon. 12.— When parliament
opened to day large crowds had con-
gregated iu the vicinity of parliament
house, long before the beginning of the
session, and when Mr. Brad laugh aud
Mr. Gladstone arrived they were loudly
cheered.
The vaults of the houses of parliament
were thoroughly searched this morning,
but no indication of a “Guy Fawke’s”
plot was discovered.
Right Hon. Arthur Wellesley Peete
was re-elected speaker of the house of
commons without opposition.
Burned to Death.
Union City, Tenn., Jan. 12.—A fire
attended with terrible results occurred
yesterday at the residence of Mrs. Miles,
at Jordan Station. Mr. Dickey was
awakened about six o’clock by flames
bursting thiough the ceiling of bis room.
He awoke Mr. Sam McConnell, a son-in-
law of Mrs. Miles, who aroused the fam-
ily and succeeded in saving them in their
night clothes, with the exception of Miss
Miles, the fourteeh-year-old daughter,
who was burned, together with a negro
woman. Mr. McConnell had to throw
his wife two childicm, Mrs. Miles, and
her younger daughter, from the second
story to save their lives. The whole
family has suffered terribly from burns
and the intensity of the cold weather, and
in fact the lives of all are in danger.
CONDENSED TELEGRAMS
A coroner’s jury in Virginia City,
Nevada, found that a man came to the
his death “from gunshot wounds in-
flicted by a pistol.”
A Washington paper Says that the rea-
son why the newspapers, lie so much in
that city is that they get the most of their
information of the office-holders.
A free trader in Washington thinks
that if all tlje free trade voters iu the
country could be united in one party the
number would be larger than that of
either of the old parties.

All there is left of the rebellion or se-
cession movement, is a sentiment em-
bodied in the person of Mr. Davis, and
for this reason the “secession element”
would prefer less newspaper garrulity

displaying.—San Antonio Express.

would do without it. The name by
which it is generally known is woman.
