Houston, Tex., Dec. 25.—The members of
the Houston Fire department, to helu out
the monument fund, will to-morrow
(Thursday) evening give a grand masque-
rade ball at the Market-house. They have
already sold soveral hundred tickets, and
the event promisee to be immensely suc-

placed on the firemen's lot in Glen wood,
has arrived in the city from Italy, where it
*as ordered by Mr. Byrnes, and was carved
by tlje finest workmen in the old country.
It is six feet two inches high, and is a
statue of Mr. Robert Brewster the oldest

A SLIGHT FIRE.
This afternoon between 1 and 2 o'clock
the alarm of fire called the department to
the corner of Polk and Jackson streets in
the Third ward, where they found the resi-
dence of Mr. S. B. Strong nflre. Prompt
action, however, saved the building from
more damage than the partial burning of
the roof. It caught during the preparation
cf the dinner, and was not discovered for
some tiino l>y the occupants of the build-
ing. The damage from fire was confined
to tho roof, but there was damage from
water to both furniture and building.

The two black villains who last night
killed Mr. John Phillips and badly beat his
companion, Mr. J. D. Freeman, in the Fifth

succeed in making the capture. Mr. Phil-
lips' funeral took place this afternoon, and

He was boaten to death with a small piece
of timber. His bereaved family have the
sympathy of a large number of friends.

Person, in which the latter was shot twice,

tween them before.

The Prohibition Question.
St. Paul, Minn., Dec. 25.—The Pioneer
Press' Bismarck special says: The excur-
sion of the members of tho legislature to
the Pacific coast got away to-day aftor a
day's delay. An extra car jvas placed at their
disposal. A similar excursion last year to
Helena was burdened with some outsiders,
but this oijie is comparatively free of frionds.
Last year there wore some ugly resolutions
adopted by t^je members left behind, but
this year nothing of the kind will happen.
The propriety of the excursion will prob-
ably not be questioned.
Attorney-general Goodwin holds that all
persons engaged in the sale of intoxicating
liquors are doing so in violation of law anu
are liable to nftcst and pmjlshment there-
for and have teen since ftdiniasion into the
unlop. All license laWsTn force after the
adoption of the constitution, being repug-
nant to prohibition, the article became nul
aud void (epso facto) and since that tim
there has been no authority in the state for
granting licenses for tho sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors. All persons since the adoption
of the constitution and proclamation of
the president, having made any sales of in-
toxicating liquor or who do so hereafter are
liable to arrest aud punishment under the
tlon bill by tho present legislature has no
bearing whatever upon past or future of-
fenses until it goes into effect July 1, 1800.

tle success. One man named Clouts
was found secreted in some bushes near
Tarentum and taken to the lockup. A re-
volver with one empty chamber was found
on his person. He protested his innocence,
but tho feeling was so Intense he barely es-
caped lynchiog. The Knights of Pythias,
of which order Ruttert ia a member, has of-
fered a reward of $500 for the capture of the
murderers.

LvnchbURG. Va.. Dec. 25.—The last con-
federate war horse is supposed to have died
three days ago on the farm of his owner,
Colonel R. T. Craighill, near this city.
"Stonewall Jackson" was his name, but ho

He was 33 years old and was ridden in the
war from the spring of '62 to the close and
received threo wounds in battle. His owner
intends to bury him where he died and
erect a monument to his memory. From

FAMISHED FARMERS.
Distressing Reports from East North Caro-
UnH—Sufferinu: for Meat and Bread.
New York, Dec. 25.—The World's Char-
lotte, N. C., special says: The farmers in the
eastern portion of this state are very badly
situated this winter. Tho cotton crop has
proved almost a total failure and the corn
crop is very light and no wheat worth
speaking of was thraalied. The failure
was caused by continued rain during the
summer months which kept the lands cov-
ered with water so much of the time that to
raise any sort of a crop was an utter impos-
sibility. Reports say the farmers in many
instances are in an absolutely des-
titute condition. For some weeks
the question of calling a special
session of the legislature to dovise means
for their relief has been agitated but Gover-
nor Fcwler declines to do this, saying tho
sufferers must look out for thomseivos.
There are many poor farmers in the eastern
counties who have large families to sup-
port and, it is said, they have sold most of
their household effects to buy bread and
meat, and that now starvation staros them
in the face. Indeed, in many instanoss the
people ore compelled to go from three to
six days without any sort of food whatever.
Negro farm laborers are leaving as fast as
they can got away. Farmers do not try to
hold them saying that they have no Induce-
ments to offer. _

ton Butts of Augusta was killed yesterday
at that place by John Davis, justice of the
peace of that precinct. No particulars.
