Colon Services at St. I«ha<i,
At the appointed hour, 7:30 P. M„ the
eager crowd commenced to assemble at
the house of prayer, to hear again the
words of God, and to rejoice in the
" Happy day when Jesus washed our
sins away." Rev. Mr. Wells, of St.
Louis, then announced the song;
"What meau» this strange commotion?"
Rev. Mr. Nabors then offered an
earnest petition for the spirit of love
and the power of conviction to rest upon
the assembled multitude.
The services v> ere then conducted by
Rev. Mr. Lewis, which commenced with
the song :
"Save, save, O Jesus an to.
Save a poor sinner frjm dying."
He then read Nclieuiiah, 6, with
explanatory remarks upon the same, de-
livered with the usual power and force
of the speaker.
Dr. bunting then announced a contin-
uance of the meetings, and urged upon
*11 especially to attend the morning
meetings, as 'r*>ing the season of refresh-
ing grace. He closed with a tribute of
thanks to the brethren who had c<tme
from afar to aid in the good work, In-
voking Uod's blessing upon them in this
life, and eternal happiness in the life to
come.
Rev. Mr. Lewis read St. Mark, 15-22
to !j9, as the basis of remarks that fell
upon the ears of his hearers as live coals
from the altar of grace. The speaker
uttered many good and wholesome
truths, and in glowing eloquence pointed
to Him who is ' the way, the truth and
the life." At the close of his remarks,
he made a touching appeal to God to
strengthen his servants, and enlighten
those yet in darkness. The meeting
continued till a late hour, with unabated
interest.
Presentation Last Night.
For some time past it has been
whispered In police circles that it was in
contemplation to present Chief Wester-
largo with a badge, and last night the
presentation took place at the Central
Market Station. After the roll call of
the night force, Recorder R. M. Tevis, in
behalf the members of the police force,
presented the badge—which is of ex-
quisite design and was manufactured in
New York to order—with a few well
chosen remarks, in which he referred to
the past valuable services of Captain
Westerlage, and complimented him upon
having surrounded himself with such an
efficient force.
The Chief, in response, said it was
unnecessary to inform those assembled
that he was no speaker ; therefore, the
only thing that lay in his power under
the circumstances was to return his sin-
cere and heartfelt thanks for the compli-
ment bestowed upon him.
After the presentation the party ad-
journed to Barney's Corner, where re-
freshments were partaken of.

Lucia at the French
til.. »— .orfta" To-night.
with the good paople of Galveston
there ia no question whether la is batter
to have opera In Holy week or in some
other week of the fiftyWith them
it is opera then or not at all'. Since
we can only have this highest and most
refined of entertainments but one week
in the year, let us then enjoy a morsel of
that which art has provided for the
pleasure of the most cultivated and in-
tellectual.
" Lucia " is an opera well known to all
our musical citizens. Its entrancing
melodies are heard in the.parlor, in the
concert-room, and in the church. With
them we woo the maid of our love—with
them carol the birth of the Prince of
Peace. Less brazen, less feverish than
'• Trovatore," it equals that gipsy story
in popularity. It charms the multitude,
it fascinates the musician.
The traditions of the role of Lucia are
so well established that from the instant
a prima donna sets foot upon the Btage
and warbles the first notes, Begnava del
mlemio to her closing melody, Spargi
d' annu o pianto, we have ever in mind
the manners and the method, the beau-
ties and the excellences, of a half score
of others who have personated the lovely
Scotch girl.
EOf Mademoiselle Moisset we can with
pleasure express delightful satisfaction.
Her tenderness and pathos in the earlier,
and her weird wild notes in the latter
scenes, enchanted all who heard them,
and the critics forgot to criticise as they
joined in the plaudits bestowed upon
her. Right here we desire to speak of
M. Momas, the director. We can now
well understand why Paris held him
fast and refused to let him go. He is a
model director. So quiet and yet so
firm, he gives to the whole performance
a bieadtli that we seldom find under
other batons. He gave abundant testi-
mony of this quality in the spirited
chorus Percorrete la Spiaggi Vicine. M.
Momas holds every instrument to its per-
fect work, and allows none to get
beyond his controlling grasp. MM.
Gadilhe, the Egardo sings the music
with the precision of a master, fiis
voice is fresh, sweet, powerful and pa-
thetic ; but it is a trained voice—it is con-
trolled by a master musician. His per-
formance is magnificent. The grand
sextet, Chi mefrena, was a perfect whirl-
wind of passion and tumultuous melody.
As a whole the opera was successful and
brilliant; it reassured us of the splendid
ability of the French Opera Company,
and we can perform no more acceptable
service to lovers of the highest order of
musical entertainment, than by counsel-
ling them to be present to-night at the
presentation of La Favorite/.
The Revival.
The religious meetings yesterday were
largely attended, although the threaten-
ing condition of the weather somewhat
interfered with the evening service at
St. John's Church. Between eight and
nine o'clock services were held on
Twenty-second street, near Market, the
revivalists being seated in open car-
riages. By some it was predicted that
the departure of Dr. Hammond would
lessen the interest felt in the meeting ;
but it is found that the audiences have
been quite as large as they were when
he presided. The services will be eon
tinued at the same hours to-day.
Open-Air Music.
A Project for
Blr Brats
Inrit ia tke Parks and on
$ r.s-
The closing of the va rl0xh' places of
amusement in the city will leave in our
midst a number of first-class musicians,
who, with proper encouragement, might
be indttWd *» organize a. band Jhat "would
reflect credit upon the community. With
the exception of the band organized by
Mr. Richard Maddern a year or so ago,
Galveston has n«v«r been able to boast
of her " brass music." The colored band,
led by Charley Wall, is at present the
band of the city. It -is supplied with
good instruments, and the pieces played
by the baad Jewell played. Bit what
is wanted is $ Mnd ©* efchteen
pieces, with a 'elder caprtne* of arrang-
ing music to suit the popular taste.
" Mollie Darling " may have been a dar-
ling when sUe first saw the light, but we
have had considerably more than enough
of « Mollie."
What is wanted is a leader like Thos.
Baker, who in addition to the gems of
the opera, will give us a pleasing mel-
ange of ihe .popular songs of the il*y
The ciiy ought'to be Swilling to engage
such a band at least fhree evenings in
each week, to play in the public parks
and esplanades.

Cune. Indictment, far theft of a gold

Eds. News—It occurs to me that
there is more excitement about the city
sidewalk contracts than there is any
occasion for. If I am correctly in-
formed, the sidewalks, when graded
according to the contract, will en-
hance the value of the property more
than the cost, while, at the same time,
it will promote the health of the city
by securing better drainage. As a san-
itary measure alone this proper grading
of the sidewalks and drains along the
curbing may be worth more than the
whole cost, as it may be the means of
saving our city from much sickness,
possibly from an epidemic. A greater
objection to the Hitchcock contract
appears to be that the bonds to be is-
sued will impose a heavy debt upon
the city. But I understand the entire
cost of the whole is to be paid by the
owners of the property thereby improv-
ed, and that bonds are only to be issued
to pay for such part of the work as
the property-owners do not pay for,
aud that, in fact, the bonds that are
issued will, in the end, be paid by the
property for the improvement of which
they are issued, aud will not, there-
fore, be a tax on the city at large. I
know it is said by some that the bonds
can not be legally issued for this pur-
pose, but I can hardly conceive of a
more necessary power for such a city
as ours than the power to make im
provements as are necessary to the
general health and comfort of the peo-
ple; and it appears to me perfectly
equitable that the property thus bene-
fited and enhanced in value should pay
the cost of the improvement. Noth
ing can be more unjust than that per-
sons should be allowed to own whole
blocks of city property for the purpose
of speculation and not be made to con-
tribute anything toward the general
improvement of the city, while
they reap their full share of
all the improvements made by others.
If the city does not have that author!
ty, it will follow that our citizens will
have to walk tlirough mud and water,
for many years to come, for the want
of improved sidewalks in the front of
all such property as the owners refuse
to improve themselves or to pay for.
I am informed, and I suppose cor-
rectly, that Mr. Pritchard, who has
contracted to put down curbing, lias
done near $20,000 worth of work, and
that all this has been paid by the own
ers of the property benefited, except the
amount of about $2000, for which only
city bonds have to be issued. Now, if
the property owners will do their part
as^well in paying for the work of
Messrs. Hitchcock & Co., there will
Ije but few city bonds to be issued, and
if the property for the improvement of
which these are issued can not be made
to pay them under our present city
charter, then we ought to lose no time
in having our charter amended and
the necessary po vers given to the
Couucil witnout delay. But, as
property owner myself, I will here say
tnat I would much sooner pay my
share of these bonds than that such
important improvements should not be
made. It is, however, the opinion of
some of our best lawyers that the pres-
ent charter gives the Council full pow-
ers to make all the property of the city
contribute its equal share, in the way
proposed, toward its own improvement
i id the general health of the city.
If, then, the proposed grading,
curbing and paving of our sidewalks
is a necessary sanitary measure, the
next question is whether Messrs.
Hitchcock >fc Co. arc now proposing
to do it for a. fair price. I have made
inquiries of good judges, and am
assured that their contract price is
really below what it will cost any
property owner to get the same work
done by any one else; and that, in
fact, as now modified, it is every way
most favorable to the city. But if any
one thinks he can get the work done
cheaper, this contract leaves him at
perfect liberty to get it done in his
own way. And consequently he has
nothing whatever to complain of, ex-
cept that he is required to have a com-
fortable sidewalk before his own door,
instead of compelling his neighbors to
walk through inud and water to get
past his lot. An Old Citizen.

The Cruiade.—Revolutions never go
backwards, and that the temperance
movement is gaining ground in the
Bayou City, few, acquainted with the
facts, will feel jdieposed to doubt. At
first the "crusaders" was deemed a very
considerable and harmless joke; but
pow, that they are openly indorsed by
the best people, the most intelligent and
excellent ladies and influential and lead-
ing citizens of Houston, it is more appa-
rent that the crusaders of this city not
only mean business, but the influence by
which they are backed will insure them
a respectful hearing in the Legislature.
The crusaders here are a fixed fact,
whether they are only successful in ob-
taining "local option" or not.
Alleged Emhezrtemtnt.—Mr. William
B. Ochiltree was arrested and examined
in the Recorder's Court yesterday, on a
charge of embezzling §20 from a man
named Woods. The face of the prose-
cution bore a pretty look. It seems that
Woods lent the $20 to Ocliiltreo for some
object, and the latter failing to repay tho
amount, Woods had him arrested.
Ihe Volks-Fcst.—Read tho announce-
ment in to-day's issue of the News, of
the sixth grand annual Volks-Fest in
Houston, May 4 and 5, at the State Fair
Grounds. It will be an occasion second
only to the State Fair itself. The pro-
gramme will be published shortly.
District Court.—The court met at the
usual hour yesterday, but the moft of the
day was taken up in sounding th6 docket.
No suit of public interest, or of much
importance, was taken up
County Court.—The County Court was
in session yesterday. The first business
undertaken was the consideration of sun-
dry bills. All the justices were present
except P. Christian, Esq., of the Hockley
precinct. • 1 f
The Mercury.—Sam. L. Allen, Esq., a
prominent citizen of Houston, became of-
fended with the Age for saying that he,
Mr. Allen, was going bond for J. H. Ba-
ker, during the late imbroglio wh^eby
the material of that paper was detained
from being transported to Galveston
Inqnext.—Although the jury of inquest
held on the woman, Kate Carroll, who
died suddenly in the Fifth Ward, ren
dered a verdict that deceased came to her
death from excessive doses of whisky,
still the opinion-prevails among the resi-
dents of the Ward and tke associates of
the deceased that her death resulted
from poison, either administered by her
own or another's'hand.
On the Rampage.—Taylor Mills, col
ored, allowed himself to get on the ram-
page. Becoming infuriated with Cyrus
Gamble, a brother freedman, he broke
down the door of the lattpr, entered his
house, and threatened him with deadly
weapons. Mills was arrested and held
to answer. His examination before the
Recorder takes place to-day.
0(h1» and Ends—Yesterday morning
the city was visited with a drenching
rain, rendering the streets muddy and
disagreeable.
That part of the city beyond Long
bridge has been steadily improving ever
since the rabuilding of that structure.
Dr. Hammond and the religious excur-
sionists are expected in the city to-day.
At the Opera. House temperance meet-
ing, the other night, a gentleman from
the stage arose and requested the audi
enee to join tke Band of Hope in singing
the air of Auld Lang Syne, but few la-
dies or gentlemen responded, seemingly
not knowing anything about that good
old tune.
The Germans of this city are steadily
making preparation for the Volks-Fest,
May fourth and fifth, and there is every
reason to conclude the festival will sin-
pass the festivals of all previous years.
James Manning was fined $5 and costs
yesterday for druak and disorderly con-
duct. Failing to pay he was committed.
The Mexicans who assailed Officer
McDonald have not yet been tried, but
will be investigated to-day.
A man named Parrot was mulcted in
$5 and costs yesterday, for drunken
conduct on the streets. He proved im-
pecunious, and hence was committed to
the lock-up to work on tlie streets.
Crops.—The interior seems to be doing
splendidly. Corn is growing-, and cotton
well up, at least so says that live gro-
cery merchant, Henry Henricks, Esq.,
who Las just returned from a trip to the
middle counties.
Recorder's Col-KI.—Before Hon. R
M. Tevie, Recorder:
M. Dugee, disorderly conduct; fined
$25, ani required to give a bond in the
sum of $200 t-j keep the peace.
Mace Brown, drunk and disorderly;
fined $5.

THE MILD POWER
A young man living near Winamey
Postoffice, Ohio, undertook to have a
little fun a few nights ago by imitating
a dog. So he hid in the corner of a
fence, aad vrlien, presently, another
joung man named Mullen came by oil
his way to the Postoffice, he crawled
°Ut °n a" fuuia, barking llad growling
moch like a dog as possible. His
imitation was so perfect as to deccive
Mullen completely, who drew a revol-
ver and shot the too successful mimic
dead ou the spot.
Temperance Crusade.
The announcement of tlie commence-
ment of the temperance crusade at
Houston lias created a sensation in
whisky circles in this city. To-day
(Wednesday) it is stated that the initial
demonstration will be made here, com-
mencing at Martin Davey's, on the
Strand, at 10 a. jr.
Ice ! Ice !! Ice !!!—Some persona fear
that the new ice company (the People's
Lone Star Ice Company) may not be able
to keep up supplies. That theBe persons
may have their minds disabused of these
notions, we will give tlie following in-
formation bearing on the subject: The
schooner " Benj. Courtney " has noiv dis-
charged a load of ice, which is in the
company's building ; the schooner " Al-
fred Brabrook " left Bath, Me., March 9 ;
the schooner " M. A. Coombs " left Bos-
ton, on the fourteenth instant; the
schooner " Cyrus Hall" was a!so loading
at Boston on March 14—all with ice for
the People's Lone Star Ice Company.
Our readers may readily see that their
supplies will be equal to all demands.
But these are not all the vessels that
may be named as loading ice for this
popular company. Others are loading
and will continue to load, and as there
will be no selling out to monopolies, all
may rely on obligations, at the reduced
rates, being fulfilled. mr38 lw
Ladies should not fail to call at I. Levy
& BiiotuEli's, 1U1 Market street, for bar-
gains. TheBe gentlemen are keeping a
large stock of l'ancy and staple dry goods,
and aie selling tliem off at very low prices.
They have received by last steamer : 500
children's hats, at prices to please every-
body, and 1000 large si/.e ready-made
mosquito bars, at 75c. I. LEVY & Buo.'s,
161 Market street, is the place to go to.
The Waltham Watch Company.—
The watches made by the Waltham
Company have attained a popularity
never accorded to any other make, and
for the very excellent reason that all ar-
ticles sent out from the manufactory are
as near perfection as the very best of
material and most accurate workmanship
can produce.
The watches made by the Waltham
Company embrace every description,
size, price ac-.'. design, from the cheapest
to the most expensive. The cheapest
watches are accurate time-keepers, and
the works will wear as long as if a
higher price was demanded.
Watches are manufactured at the
Waltham Works expressly for use of
engineers, conductors and travelers.
These watches are perfect in all their
details, and can be depended on in any
climate.
No oth^r watch company makes a
complete article, and purchasers should
alwavs ask for the \\ altliain Watch, a
full supply of which are always on hand
