DOUGLASS MEMORIAL SERVICES.
The capacity of Trinity Methodist Epis-
copal church, colored, was never before
taxed to the extent it was on Wednesday
nigh't, 13th Instant. The occasion was the
memorial mass meeting of the colored peo-
ple of this city in honor of the lamented
Frederick Douglass, who died on the 20th
of last February at his home in Washing-
ton.
A very appropriate programme, compris-
ing sacred musical selections, brief eulo-
gistic addresses and a grand oration, to-
gether with resolutions of respect, was
beautifully rendered.
At 8.30 o'clock the exercises began. Em-
mett J. Scott of the Texas Freeman, as
master of ceremonies, briefly announced
the order of exercises, after which Rev.
w. C. Oole, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E.
church, offered a fervent prayer, which
was followed by the national hymn,
"America," rendered by a choir composed
of voices from the leading church choirs.
Dr. J. H. Garnett, grand orator, was in-
troduced by the master of ceremonies, and
delivered an eloquent address appropriate
to the occasion.
Upon the completion of the doctor's ora-
tion the c'hoir sang "Safe in the Arms of
Jesus" in a very feeling way.
'Short eulogistic addresses were made by
ex-Senator R. Gleed, Rev. H. Watts, James
Green, Charles N. Love, Prof. S. C. Col-
lins and Rev. Freeman Parks.
A very beautiful poem, written by Miss
C. M. Thompson of Fort Worth, was re-
cited by Mrs. Nannie Russell Crawford.
Prof. W. B. Cogle of the committee on
resolutions read a series of resolutions,
"whioh were unanimously adopted by a ris-
ing vote. Prof. Q. A. C. Todd, the blind
organist of Trinity church, sang a solo
entitled, "Here and There." "1 Am Satis-
lied," a duet, sung by Mr. and Mrs. J. A.
Somervllle, was excellently rendered. The
pastor of Trinity churc'h, Rev. Wade {Ham-
ilton, pronounced the benediction. It was
near midnight when the multitude dis-
persed for their homes.
LEGISLATORS INVITED.
The Houston business league is in com-
munication with a junketing party of Mas-
sachusetts legislators and hopes to succeed
In getting a visit from them. In response
to a message sent from here the following
was received this forenoon concerning the
party:
"Augusta, Ga., March 14.-To Houston
Business League: John T. Patrick and
party are viewing Richmond, Va., to-day.
They left Atlanta, Ga., night before last.
Senator W. F. Dashiel is one of the party.
"CHAS. S. HOED, Gen. Pass. Agt."
On the strength of this Secretary Dexter,
in the absence of President J. M. Cotton of
the league, has wired the tourists a press-
ing invitation to come here to see Houston.
The trip is being made for the purpose of
seeing the advantages of the south as a
location for the cotton mill. It is in that
connection that the Houston business
league is trying to get them to come here
and should they succeed the visitors will
be properly entertained and shown around.
"WA'NG."
This evening Sweeney & Coombs' opera
house was packed almost with people who
seemed much delighted by the presentation
of the sparkling comic opera, "Wang." It
was seen once before here, but the recol-
lections of it were undoubtedly so pleasant
that many wanted to see it a second time,
and they, with others, turned out this
evening. The opera has much popular mu-
sic and some very tuneful music, but these
features do not constitute its full attract-
iveness. The costumes and settings are su-
perb and the comedy effective throughout.
The chorus was one of the largest of the
season and the whole furnished a real
treat.
Cleveland's minstrels will open at the
opera house to-morrow (Friday) with
a matinee and close with an evening per-
formance. They give a grand street parade
about noon.

remainder of the week. The precipitation
on an average for the «... k was below the
normal, and the d»ii< uii.-y ranged from
.50 of an inch over the northwestern por-
tions of the state to .ii . it .75 0f an inch
over the east coast district.
Sunshine: The week has given about an
average amount of s : hint' over north
and central Texas, while over the other
portions of the stat- dense fog, with
broken cumulo stratus ami stratus clouds
prevailed, which reduced the amount of
sunshine to slightly beh,w the normal.
Temperature: The \\. .-k opened with the
temperature ranging frum 2 degrees above
the normal over the ■ itliern portions of
the state to slightly l».-!..w over the north-
ern portions. The temperature rose slight-
ly about the middle of the week until it

until the close of the week, when a norther
of marked intensity reached the central
portion of the state aid the temperature
fell 10 to 22 degrees an I ranged from 8 to
14 degrees below the dally normal, while
it continued above the normal over the
southern portions of the state. The tem-

northwestern portions the state to — de-
grees over the east coax' district.
condition OF CHOPS.
The weather was ex'«-ptionally fine for
sowing oats during the greater portion of
the week, and this work was rushed. Oat
sowing is about completed in a few locali-
ties, and a good acreage has been sown.
Early sown oats are coming up nicely, and
the plant looks strong and healthy.
Wheat la doing very well and it is re-
ported that the crop has not suffered from
the drouth and cold weather as much as
was first suspected. Some spring wheat
has been sown this season, and it is the
desire of the people that it may do well.
Farmers In many sections are planting
corn, and, where not planting, they are
getting their ground ivadv for this work.
It is shown in special bulletin No. 2 of the
Texas weather service that the average
date of planting corn over southern Texas
Is March 9, and corn planting this year is
late, which is due to the late cold weather.
The drouth in the fall also had a tendency
to keep the farmers from breaking up
their land for spring crops.
The severe cold weather over north and
central Texas at the close of the week will
have a tendency to check farm work and
will retard farm work to some extent.
Water for stock is still scarce in a few
localities over the western portions of the
state.
The warm weather during the past two
weeks has started grass to growing over
the southern portions of the state, and the
pastures are beginning to look green. Early
planted vegetables are coming up nicely
over the coast district.
Farm work is well up, as a general rule,
considering the late season.

THE NOTARIES PUBLIC
HAIL STORM.
Considerable Damage Done at Crockett.
Stones Very Large.
Crockett, Houston Co., Tex., March 14.—
Yesterday evening about 7 o'clock heavy
clouds began to gather and in a few
minutes the darkness was intense, being
relieved now and then by vivid Hashes of
sheet lightning, which illuminated the
heavens to almost daylight brightness.
It looked for a while like a severe wind
storm, but at 7.50 it began to hail and con-
tinued for twenty-live minutes, the stones
falling thick and fast, and on a space of
ground three feet square a ]»• < k of them
could have been gathered. Very few of
the stones were as small as partridge eggs
and many were larger than guinea eggs.
The News correspondent In a minute's
time gathered a gallon cup full from a
small space and measured them, and the
average was four inches in circumference
and four and one-half inches long. Glass
was shattered in the windows in the west
side of the houses, and this morning win-
dow glass is in demand. The Mary Allen
seminary and the city high school were
considerably damaged. The roof of the oil
mill was damaged by the stones. Old cit-
izens say this was the heaviest hall storm
that has ever visited this section,
AT BR VAN.
Bryan, Brazos Co., Tex., March 14.—A
very heavy rain and wind storm visited
this place last night, blowing down signs,
fences and trees, ami damaging several
stocks of goods by flooding the buildings.
The rain fell in such torrents it was im-
possible to see across the street. One or
two houses were blown from their blocks.
A norther has been blowing all day, it
being quite cold.
HENRY FLOWERS ARRESTED.
Sandy Point, Brazoria Co.. Tex., March
14.—Sheriff Yerby passed through here to-
day noon in charge of Henry Flowers,
charged with shooting and killing Will Ed-
wards on the Darrington plantation last
November. Flowers will be lodged in the
Brazoria county jail.
WEATHER AND CROPS.
Angleton, Brazoria C^,—Warm, sultry
weather. Crop preparations are being rig-
orously pushed. The range is rapidly be-
coming green again.
Huntsville, Walker Co.—A heavy hail-
storm, accompanied by rain and vivid light-
ning, fell here Wednesday night. The early
gardens were pretty badly damaged. It is
still damp and cloudy.
Georgetown, Williamson Co.—'Four hun-
dred and fifty bales of cotton were bought
here Tuesday of A. J. Nelson by VV. 8.
Leake. Mr. Leake also bought 300 bales at
Hut to. The price paid for the entire lot
was 1.60c.
Hitchcock, Galveston Co.—The prospects
for a fruit crop could not be better. The
frost can do it no injury, as it has passed
its high water mark and Is beyond danger.
Strawberries will have a good season for
about a month.
Goldt'hwaite, Mills Co.—'A cold norther,
accompanied by a mist of rain. The ther-
mometer stands at 30 degrees above zero.
The past week's warm weather has caused
vegetation to spring up rapidly, but this
cold spell will check It.
Bryan, Brazos Co.—A heavy electric
storm passed to the northeast of town
Tuesday night. It was very hot and dry
Wednesday. Mr. John Astln, a planter of
the Brazos bottom, reports his corn already
up and growing rapidly.
Ledbetter, Fayette Co.—This station has
shipped over 4000 bales of cotton this sea-
son, more than it has ever shipped be-
fore. Farmers in this section are well ad-
vanced in their work "here, most of them
having their corn planted.
Taylor, Williamson Co.—Plowing and
planting and in fact all kinds of farm work
are being vigorously pushed forward at
just this time, and with a good seasonable
rain within the next week or ten days the
outlook will assume an air of complacency.
'Centervllle, Leon Co.—Farmers are get-
ting a late start. Oats are doing well.
Corn planting is just 'beginning this 'week.
A good rain would be acceptable. The sea-
son is considered backward, as heretofore
at this date corn planting was just about
'finished.
Oakwoods, Leon Co.—Weather warm and
cloudy, but no rain. Ground in tine condi-
tion for farm work. Corn is being planted
this week. Cotton land being prepared. So
far farmers are getting well up with the
work. As a general thing the country and
people are in better shape than they have
been for the past ten years.
Belton, Bell Co.—Farmers throughout the
county have been busy planting corn this
week. The ground Is nice and loose and
pulverizes well. Farms where corn has
been planted look as nice as gardens. The
News correspondent is of the opinion there
will be no appreciable reduction in the cot-
ton acreage of Bell county in 1895.
Rockdale, Milam Co.—A thunder storm,
the first this year, visited this city Tues-
day night. A heavy rain fell. A heavy
storm occurred northwest of town. The
ground is in excellent condition. Fruit
trees are putting out, and if there Is no
more cold weather a big crop is promised.
Farmers are somewhat behind with their
planting.
Benchley, Robertson Co.—Rain com-
menced to fall about 7 p. m. Wednesday
and continued two hours, it being the
heaviest rainfall for several months. The
ground is thoroughly soaked and farmers
are In fine shape for the making of this
year's crop. Stock water is plentiful, grass
growing rapidly and all kinds of stock
doing well.
Lufkin, Angelina Co.—A heavy rain has
fallen in east Texas. While the land was
already in firstrate condition for plowing,
t'he farmers want to see it so thoroughly
soaked that a crop may be grown without
so much rain in summer. The farmers are
very backward with their farm work, prin-
cipally on account of so much <^ld weath-
er in February. v
Corpus Chrlstl, Nueces Co.—-The News
correspondent has just made a trip of
about fourteen miles in the country and on
the way interviewed a large number of
'farmers. He found tllat all were highly
encouraged over the prospects of abundant
crops and nearly all were of the opinion
that the drouth in this section is a thing
of the past. If nothing unforeseen happens
the truck farmers of this county will ship
many tons of vegetables to the Interior
during the coming season.
Victoria, Victoria Co.—The weather for
the past week has been cloudy and warm,
with occasional light showers, making per-
fect growing weather. Corn planting is
nearly finished, and In many fields Is up
several inches. Cotton planting is well
under way, and with no set backs will be
finished unusually early. The acreage ln
cotton Is considerably decreased, being
supplanted by corn. Several hundred acres
of tobacco will be grown this ■eacon iii
this county, and if results are favorable
will be largely increased next year.
Geona, Harris Co.—The acreage of sweet
potatoes and corn planted this year will
be unusually heavy in this section; and it
would be difficult to estimate the number
of fruit trees set out. it really looks as if
every one was going into the nursery busi-
ness. The usual amount of cotton will be
planted, but better grades are sought after.
The ground could not possibly 'be in a finer
condition for work of all kinds. It is worth
watching to see the fine northern horses in
teams of three and four laying a continuous
ribbon of soil a mile long or more upside
down with such nicety and precision.
Hood's Sarsaparllla has the largest sale
of any medicine before the public. Try it.
