the dallas committee.
The committee that went to Dallas afosv
days ago to consult with the stockmen as>
sembled there with a view of securing the
beef refrigerates and canning establish-
ment for this point, returned this morning
on the special car furnished them through
the courtesy of Receiver Dillingham. The
following composed the committee that
went to Dallas:
T. VV. House, Wm. D. Cleveland, W. O.
Ellis, .J. C. Hutcheson, Dr. T. J. B>yles, J.
T. Brady, J. J. Sweeney, John Finnegan, J.
J. tfettegast and G. A. Quiulan, Sam E.
Allen.
The News correspondent, in search of
facts connectPd with the visit to D tilts of
this important committ e, met W. O Ellis,
a Houtton Danker and prominent young
business man of the city, and asked him a
few questions in relation to the subject:
" "Where did the committee stop while in
Dallas;"
" Atthe Grand Windsor hotel, wherstwo-
thirds of the stockmen were gueSts."
" Was the committee well received by
the stockmen assembled?"
" The committee could not have received
more coi dial treatment at tfceir hands. The
stockmen numbered over lul), and were a
line type of men in physical appearance,
snd gave evidence of great mental
, strength." .
Did you meet the stockmen in comau;-
166:'"
" The convention fixed 2.80 p. m as the
' time for different towns to present their
■various claims."
" What towns presented claims?"
" Houston, Fort Worth and Dallas, with
San Antonio lying back as a dark horse.
At the time of meeting, J. C. Hutcheson
presented the claims of Houston in a neat,
concise snd argumentative speech, which
was earnestly applauded, and evidently
xnat'ear impression on tho stockmen as-
sembled."
" Are Houston's chances good?"
"I consider them better than those of
any towh that is now presenting its claims.
Houston's advantages speak for themselves
through railroads, steamers a.id sailing
vessels."
After the special car left Dallas with the
commit lee. en route to Houston, Chairmiu
T. W. House called the members to order
for the purpose of expressing a few kindly
sentiments toward the officers of tho Hous-
ton and Texas Central Railway company.
On lrxtion, Dr. T. J. Boyles was elected
secreteiy. He read to the committee the
following resolutions, which were unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved, that the committee, on behalf
of the citizens of Houstou, and as an ex-
pression of their own appreciation, do ex-
tend to llr. Charles DiUinph un, receiver,
and to the management of the Houston and
Texas Central Railway company their
thanks for the ample facilities and accom-
modations afforded them in attending the
Cattlemen's convention at Dallas, in be-
half of the effort to secure the refrigerating
establishment at the city of Houston.
Resolved, that they express their warmest
appreciation of the courtesy of Mr. George
A. Quinlan, general superintendent, and
for his anticipation of their every want and
comfort of thl3 committee while on their
trip.
Resolved, that the secretary of this meet-
ing publish these resolutions and furnish a
copy thereof to Charles Dillingham and
George Quinlan.
was an invited guest.
In speaking of the Arkansas Post battle
reunion tho came of W. H. Coyle was acci-
dentally omitted. While Mr. Coyle was not
a veteran,in either service, he was present
as an invited guest through the courtesy of
both sides, and held up both ends with con-
siderable distinction. Mr. Coyle, in public
life, belongs to the hardy set of men who
fight fires when the other distinguished
burgers are in warm beds. He is past chief
of the fire department.
.'.x inquest on twins.
This morning. Justice Railey was notified
that two colored infants were lying dead
at their mother's residence, No. 18 Crosby
street, in the Fourth ward south. He sum-
moned a jury, and went to the house
designated, and investigated the case. As
stated, he found the children dead. The
testimony of the grandmother, Fannie
Lewis, showed that the iufants died with-
out any evident cause, and that no doctor
was in attendance. The mother's name
was Jones.
geological i1001is.
At the last meeting of tne Geological
and Scientific association in its rooms in
the Cotton exchange, J. B. Davies, engineer
in charge of the prospecting party placed
in the field by tho Houston and Texas Cen-
tral Railway company, presented the asso-
ciation with an excelleut specimen of
block coal from the McDonald mine, in
Eastlrnd county. This seam is geological-
ly much higher than the three seams which
are found in Coleman county, and is ac-
companied by a seam of torbanite that is
considered more yaluable as a gas pro-
ducer than coal itself. It is a well-known
species of cannel coal, ussd for the manu-
facture of paraffin oil, candles, etc. Pro-
fessor fotreeruwitz exhibited the petroleum
earth or crust from near Palestine, notice of
which appeared a few day3 ago with a
qualitative analysis.

MEETING OF THE C0AKTEU COMMITTEE.
At the last meeting of the citizens for the
purpose of debating the subject of giving
up the city charter. Judge C. Ansou Jones,
J. Hutcheson and Judge E. P. Hill were
appointed a committee to prepare the. ne-
cessary act or acts and notices of applica-
tion for presentation to the
legislature for action. This after-
noon the committee met and
discussed the matter. It was decided to give
notice at once of application to the legisla-
ture for the passago of a law repealing the
charier of (he city of Houston. It was also
concluded by the .committee that any
further legislation on the subject should
best be by general law, for the passage of
which,no notice would be necessary. The
committee is actively at work and it is
thought a solution of the question will no
doubt be reached without difficulty.

DUPED BY A FALSE BARON.
How the Tables Were Turned on a Provincial
Money-lender in France.
An extraordinary case of swindling, in
which the tables were completely turned
on a provincial money-lender, has lately
occurred. It appears that one of the tribe
of sharp-witted practitioners of the Jingle
genus went to Bordeaux for the purpose of
effecting a stroke of business. He passed
himself off on some of the unsophisticated
inhabitants of that great provincial city as
the Baron de Lussac, son of the late Cora
Pearl and of a certain princely personage,
whose name it is needless to mention.
After having amused himself by a few ad-
ventures in Bordeaux, the baron returned
to Paris and deputed au accomplice of his
named Schaeffcr to borrow £200 from a
M. Bcuffalais, a Bordeaux money-lender.
Bouftalais advanced half the sum, but
went with Schaefferto Paris in order to see
the pseudo baron, whom he found to be a
veritable reproduction of the prince who
was alleged to be his father. The money-
lender, enchanted to make the acquaintance
of so distinguished a person as the Baron
de Lussac, who seemed to be the very
quintessence of Parisian pschuttlsme,
parted with another £100. While awaiting
the return of his capital with interest, M.
Bouffalais unburthened himself to a legal
luminary, who opened his eyes a little. It
sterns that he had lent the first instalment
of the loan to enable the false baron to pay
a fine inflicted upon him for having as-
saulted the police.
In Paris M. Bouffalais 'learned that no
one is ever fined"£100 for an assault on the
police, the maximum penalty for such an
offense being £8. The money-lender had
his two debtois arrested a.t once, and the
pair appeared before the correctional tri-
bunal. The Eelf-dubbev baron turned out
to be a Prussian named Prinz, and he told
the judge that he had acted as a jeune nre-
mier at the London aquarium, his real pro-
fession being that of a player. He was
condemned to three months imprisonment
and his accomplice to eighteen months.
IGalignani's Messenger.
Some months ago Daniel Kelly of Port
Clinton, Pa., saw that a heavy boulder had
fallen on tho track of the Pennsylvania
railroad, and he managed to run ahead and
stop an approaching train in time to avoid
a wreck. The other day he received a
costly gold watch and chain, with the com
pliments of the railroad company.

Heretofore these entertainments have

admission will be charged. Let the friends
of this brilliant little society fill the house.
For the past few years it has entertained

ner and deserves generous support.
