Brenham Hook and Ladder Com-
pany No. 1, Thursday night celebrated
their twenty-first anniversary in
their usual hospitable manner at their
hall on North Ant street.
By $ o'clock their ball over the
truck house was tilled with firemen
and friends who were treated to re-
freshments awaiting the opening of
the festivities which helped to enliven
the already ever bouyant spirits of
the gallant firemen and sallies of wit,
jokes and historical bon mots on each
other were rehashed and r§juviu»ted
with up-to-date embelishments for
the delectation of the invited guests.
Supper was announced and the as-
semblage sat down to a banquet that
in its variety and elegance has seldom
been excelled in the city, where it
was entirely in the hands of men only,
though it was apparent that the deft
hand of fair woman had furnished
the delicacies of this occasion, for in
addition to the excellent and t*J*ind-
ant supply of barbecued pork and
mutton, there were pies, cakes, turkey
chicken, salids, etc., in great profus-
ion, with an abundance of mild
beverage to wash it down, whiie the
bauquet hour was enlivened by re-
citals of brief sketches of the com-
pany's experience in their long years
of service.
The history of this company is al-
ready familiar to readers of the Ban-
ner, who will recall Col. Giddings
speech on the subject at theiiOth an-
niversary celebration last year.
The new organization or re-organiza-
tion is now startiug on its 22d year,
but the Brenham Hook and Ladder
Company No. 1 was organized at a
time when Federal troops were en-
camped in the city when our homes
and our lives were in jeopardy by the
frequency of incendiary fires, when
citizens were being arrested without
process of law and unceremoniously
thrown into jail or the guard house,
with no chauce for trial to prove inno-
cent of imaginary or trumped up
charges, and no chance to get out
save by bribing an officer of the
enemy. This state of affairs went on
here until those who had laid
down their arms, became desperate
and decided that something must be
done to protect their homes, and this
Fire Company was organized, in lieu
of a military company, which would
have been treason, but it was in
roality a military company, its Fore-
man, Col. D. C. Giddings, being rec-
ognized as its captain and the assist-
ant foreman as lieutenant. Signals
were agreed upon to summon this
company to the square armed, and on
one occasion it was called out, when

The Danger (Signal.
What promises to be one of th«
notable events in the history of the
.local stage, will undoubtedly be the
production in this city of the famous
•comedy-drama from the pen of Mr.
Henry C. DeMille, entitled "The Dan-
ger Signal," at the G rand Opera house
Saturday night. The plav deals of
.life iu the far West, its scenes b^ing
laid ata lonely railroad station of the
.Montana & Cheyenne £1. JR. i t is said o
Mr. DeMille, that before writing this
play, and ihat wishing to have all
t he details in the shape,of soaaery and
effects accucate, he personally made a
journey to.this spot, aud spent several
months on tfce ground sketching the
same, and th«t the scenes .can .he easi-
ly recognized by most tnum-cointineu-
tal passengers who have made the
trip to California. The play deals of
.characters in that far western country
that are remarkably tame to nature,
aud tells .a love-atory that appeals
strongly to the sympathies of the au-
dience. The play is aptly termed an
idyl oi rail, and contains many realis-
tic railroad effects, including' a mou-
nter locomotive composed of steel and
iron, Ja freight train, railroad station
and* telegraph office, a cyclone rotary
soow-plo\r at work, and the cannon
hall express, which crosses the stage
At the rate of fifty miles an hour. The

some negroes in Watrous-
vill©, and gallantly responded, when
a couference was held with the com-
manding officer of the Federal troops
and the riot act read to him, warning
him that if their ravages upon private
p»operty and bad treatment of citi-
zens did not cease, a band of deter-
mined men who had laid dowu their
arras would take them up again and
wija© them from the lace of the earth.
The Federal soldiers were further
ordered to keep off the streets at
L^igiht and the order was obeyed with
^s ntmeh celerity as any ever given at
the numerous fires this company have
helped extinguish.
Many of tne charter members of the
original company have crossed the di-
vide aud entered iuto the great un-
known, but as soou as there is room
for another member, so popular, Is
thi* company, that some one applies
for membership, which at present is
almost ae large as the constitution
permits.
And Political Speaking. A Large Crowd
. Out.
Thursday Oct. 18th was the day set
for the grand barbecue and politica-
mass meeting at Chappell Hill. The
event had been well advertised and
elaborate preparations made for the
occasion.
Chappell Hill though only a small
place, is full of big hearted generous
and hospitable people, and when she
does things, she does not mince mat-
ters, but goes the whole hog, which in
this instance was a number of hogs,
aud beeves, excellently barbecued to
feed the assembleu multitude.
A large number of Brenhamites in
eluding very nearly all the candidates
on the Democratic ticket and Green's
Brigade band went down and joined
in the festivities.
Hon. E. T. Moore, of Austin, and
District Attorney "W. E. Mayuard
of Bastrop, and Ben S. Iiogers,
were the speakers of the occasion and
delivered splendid addresses which
were well received, the enteusiasm
commensurate with the party's hope
of success and if any attendent has
been apathetic his attendance on this
occasion, is a guarautee that his en-
thusiasm has been fired.
Some of the attendants had not re-
turned up to a late hour Thursday
night.
A large number of colored people
were in attendance, and Thursday af-
ternoon rumors were sent out to bring
in more to help fiuish up the barbecue
aud listen to the speeches of Messrs.
D. C. Giddings, Jr., W. E. Mayuard
and County Attorney J. P. Buchanan
and Ben 8. Kogers.

A Caldwell special of tha 17th says :
Sayers and Hutchison spoke two
hours each at Buffalo. There was a
big crowd. Everybody was wild.
A Bellville special of the 17th says:
General J. C. McBride, of Alvm, the
gentleman who anticipates getting
into congress from this district by
way of the Populist route, was in town
today. He will speak here Nov. 3.
The Colorado Citizen says :
"Editor Rankin will issue a special
edition in the near future. Now, al-
though Baukin is a little reticent—
unless he gets with a squad of Tom
Greeu boys—yet he is a worker, and
the special will be au fait. "Uncle
Daniel's" services ought to be brought
into requisition to write up the Ban-
ner's advent and tell how the federal
soldiers burned the office not accord-
ing to Chesterfield."
Of course the whole story, though
old to most of the press gang will be
retold in the special edition, which by
the way, will be a hummer.

Chicago, Oct. IS.—Considerable ac-
tivity was displayed at opening of the
wheat market this morning, but
quickly relapsed into that dull and
stagnant condition that has become so
marked of late. The pent up bull
feeling of yesterday was distinctly no-
ticeable, however, and with the
steady buying demaud that has last-
ed throughout the session better
prices have ruled; the improved cash
demand appears to have a certain ex-
tent restored, confidence of the trade
here and with any marked encourage-
ment prices will range on a highor
basis. Foreign advices for the first
time in a long while have showu
some strength, while total clearances
wero decidedly better at about 500,000
wheat and flour. Keports from New
York idicate a much bettter feeling
there, a deeper interest manifested on
the outside by foreigners being in-
creased bidding for wheat, and al-
though there has been no export from
there today a lot of wheat is being
loaded iu barber. London cables say
Argentiue wheat is seriously dam-
aged. This is confirmed by Antwerp
advices stating Argentine crop dam-
age by storms. Outsiders were good
buyers of corn today, while the local
traders did the selling the range has
been very narrow and trade limited.
Beceipts continue light, while each
brings a large decrease in the stocks
continuance of these couditioos any
length of time is bound to start shorts
to covering with the usual result
should the line of any size.
Oats have been excedingly dull
throughout the session. The opening
was firm at a shade over yesterday's
close. Firmed up 3-4 for May and
gradually eased of!, closing tame at
about yesterday's final quotations.
Provisions no special features, market
opened at a shade under yesterday's
close, but has ruled steady
throughout.
New Yobk Oct. 18,—It was the old
trouble of too much cotton for sale of-
fers made by Europe at lower prices
wero accepted there was some selling
by local and southern Joperators par-
ticularly by New Orleans for long ac-
count and more or less bearish manip-
ulators prices here declined 7 to 8
points and closed steady with sales of
146,000. Port receipts wore 47,141
against 36,088 last year making 295,186
thus far this week against 254,269 for
same time last week. Exports from
ports were again liberal reaching
31,000 bales or nearly 130,000 in three
days ; New Orleaus expects tomorrow
11 possibly 13,000 against 13,000 last
year; Houston received 14,260 against
15,720 last year; Memphis 3,243 against
2,448 against 1J571 last year; Spot cot-
ton here was 1-16 ceut lower Middling
uplauds 5 15-16 with trifling sales ;
Isew Orleans, Savannah Charleston
and Augusta dropped 1-16; New Or-
leans sold 8000 and Memphis 5000 with
a fair business at other points; New
Orleans drupped 6 to 8 on futures;
Manchester was steady with more
demand for cloths ; Liverpool was
active; Spot sales reaching ,8,000 at a
decline of l-32d while futures fell 3 1-2
to 4 1-16 and closed quiet. There was
some buying towards close by Ger-
man houses'aud New Orleans operators
but the market lacked snap. Tho
south is so anxious to sell and crop
movement to ports aud interior towns
is so large that many who think price
low hesitate to buy fearing that bot-
tom has not yet beeu reached.
