San Antonio, August. 1. There is
great complaint in tills section about
lailures of checks and drufts not reach
ing this city. Capt. Shelly or the stale
troops says complaints along the
southern line of the International aro
frequent, and that there must be some
system of robbery being practiced.
Merchants have sent drafts to his city
and they have never readied their
destination. Among the complain
ants is Shelly himself, who Called at a
store to-day to collect" tho balance on a
draft which had never been received.
Whether these robberies are done in
this postoillcc or on the road is the
question.
It is settled that the court martial
which tried Major Kress found a ver
dict wholly exonerating him. There
wiisiio ground for the charges.

Alvarado .August l.-The day open
ed up brightly and beautifully, not a
cloud to mar the universal bluotiess of
the overhanging skies". Tlio gods
could not have smiled upon us more
ausp ciously In tho way of suitable
weather than we have had during the
day for tho Interesting ceremonies of
uiu reunion oi arsons' Texas cav
alry brigade of tlio late wars between
the states. Tho crowd began to gather
together yesterday and since then have
been pouring in by every train, in
buggies, carriages, wagons, on horse
back, and lit every other way known
to human transportation, until tho
numbers In attendauco aro simply
enormous. It is variously estimated
that from fifteen to twenty thousand
souls were on tlie ground to-day, com
lr ?,e(1,.?f c,l,ws from Johnson, Ellis.
Hill, Tarrant, Dallas, Kaufman and
other counties, besides a number from
distant portions of tho state. It In
recognized as by far tho largest crowd
ever before assembled In Johnson
county. Tlie committee on grounds
have dono their duty nobly and well
In preparing, adorning and beautifying
tho hill upon which the reunion Is
being held on College Hill, in tlio
lovely grove justsoutli of the institute.
Kissing tho breezes as they waved
from tlie ro3truin(we notice tho follow
ing banners whicli havebeen preserved
as memeutoes from tho days novdr to
be forgotten: Tho old brigade battle
flag, whicli evidence wear and tatter
and clearly perceived holes made by
the enemy's bullets, occupied thu'inost
prominent place in front of
the stand; to tho left was
hanging a well-worn and faded flag,
the colors of company D., 12th regi
ment, commanded by Capt. Higli
smilh; near it were tho colord or tho
13th, and just In the rear were the ban
ners of other companies of the brigade,
not indexing, however, that these em
blems during tlie perilous times waived
above those whose fighting was always
in the rear ranks.
The Waxalmchie band was on hand,
armed and equipped under the leader
ship of Professor W. A. Gr.ty, and
promptly at 10:30 o'clock they sent
forth tlie sweet and enlivening btralns
of that good old piece, Hail Columbia,
etc., after which Capt. V. G. Vere,
pros-blent of the association, called tlie
meeting to order Jn a feeling and
touching manner, and then Intro
duced tho Ilcv. J. Fred Cox, the old
original chaplain of the
brigade, who after reading
tlie last Pslam, ollbred up sweetly and
fervently a supplication of tliaiiusand
petitions to thoGod of battles and of
peace.
Tlie president then introduced I. A.
Pulton. Eso.. who tinon tho nartoftbe

of the citizens of Johnson county ami
Alvarado. extended to the entire assem
blage, and especially to tlie members
of the old brigade, and the federal sol
diers present, a hearty and cordial
welcome to tlie festivities and hospital
ities so gladly prepared for their pleas

by Mr. Patton, was appropriately re
plied to by lieutenant (Judge) Ire Ab

very happy in his response, especial

ism of his comrades-iii-aims,
and tlio grand
principles for whicli they so nobly
struggled to establish and perpetuate,
and especially was the judge apt iti
referring to tho simple, yet beautiful

the pulpit that if there were Infidels

concerned tnoy could go to the dovil.
General Lewis states in substance
that ho was present and that the most
that Mr. Mackey said was that If there
were such persons in tlie church they
should give up their infidelity or quit
the church; that a nolo from anyono
to hhu within tho next ten davs ask
ing to lmve their names droppetl from
the rolls would meet with a prompt re
spouse. Your reporter was not pres
ent, and ho Is not prepared to say
whether the Examiner quoted Mr.
Mackey correctly or not, but we have
heard good and truthful men say that
the Examiner did quote him correctly
and that ho classed men holding such
views with Judas, and said in sub
stance that the sooner they went to
their own place the better.

Galveston, Aug. 1. Tho pavlllion,
Galveston's favorite lieach resort, Is in
ashes. Foutteon minutes mtlllcud for
Its destruction. Abi ut U o'olock this
afternoon a thin column of smoke was
noticed arising on tho southern side of
the building, and a moment later tlio
flames rushed upwards. The engines
turned out promptly, but the sand
holes and bail place retarded progress.
When they arrived tho pavlllion was
anittss of whirling smoke and blaze,
and several buildings opposite ami
along side had been sucked into the
spreading conflagration. IRobcrt
Spranger, snare drummer of tho puvll
lton bund, was at a window In
one of tho turrets. He had
been asleep In the tower and seemed
dazed at the danger. Three times the
unfortunate man came into view ami
the people shouted at him to jump for
his life. He at last got upon the win
dow sill 'and throw himself for
ward, diving Into the water.
In the air he mndca full turn and
landed squarely upon the plank side
walk on ills back. He did not speak,
and In a few minutes was tlead.
His injuries by flro would
have proven fatal even
without the fatal jump. His shoul
ders, breast, ears and face, and es
pecially his nose,were lerilbly burned.

Wurzlow's restaurant, Riefeb's
saloon, Batebelder'a refresh
ment place and various establishments
connected with tlio pavlllion were
burned to ashes. Tho oiigln of the
lire is.supposed by some to have been
the explosion of a gasoline stove; oth
ers i-ay a lighted match carelessly
thrown on tlio sun-warmed rnsln
caused the conflagration. Tho pavll

says tho accumulation of silver dollars
has become so great It Is now quite a
serious question how to dispose "f
them. All the storage capacity of tho
various vaults and sub-treasuries

and the additional vaults built recent
ly are also full. Tho last congress ap
propriated $ 100,000 fbr tho purpose of
