and stole a new set of harness, a

A message received from Laredo
last night at seven o'clock, says a
terrific rain was falling, the wind
blowing at a velocit3r of 40 miles
an hour, and hail the size of a
man's fist had fallen. Just about
this time the wires went down and
no further news has been received.
It is feared some damage was done
but nothing is known.
Appropriate Easter services were
held at several ofthe churches in
Brownsville yesterday, and the
special music rendered was much
enjoyed by the large congregations.
A Herald reporter attended two
of these services and both the dis
courses and music were much ap
preciated. There are a number of
splendid voices in the different
church choirs of the city, and the
music is first-class in all respects.
The following couples have been
granted license to wed .since last

A horse hitched to Dtiuman's
delivery wagon became "frightened
at a beer keg in front of Weller's
saloon, this morning, and ran away.
The animal only ran a short dis
tance before the wagon collided with
a sign post across the street from the
Miller hotel, where the vehicle was
left. No one was in the wagon and
the only damage done was a pair of
broken-shafts and a dilapidated -set
of harness. The animal was caught
in front of Lea C. Hilljs office.
The city council held its regular
ineetiiJgliiiS6rningand transact
cd considerable business
portant nature. Among other
things attended to, was the leasing
of the city market for the ensuing
year to Macedonio Garcia, at a
rental of $433 per month, and the
appointment of a board of equal
ization, W. M- Ratcliffe, A. D.
Childress and A- A. Browne being
appointed. . A. detailed report of
proceedings will be published in
tomorrow's Herald-.
Last Saturday morning during
the rain, lightning struck the tele
phone wire at- Adolpho Garza's
residence, burning the ground wire
in two. No serious damage was
done, but Manager Stegman of the
telephone company was somewhat
puzzled for quite a while, to find
the trouble. After making all
kinds of tests he discovered a small
hole about the size of a pin in the
iusulation of the ground wire, and
close msoection showed tlie wire
had been melted by the electric
current. The wire was spliced and
everything worked satisfactorily
again.
The Bazar to De held tomorrow
nigSt at the opera house will be
well worth the trifling admission
of ten cents for grown people and
five cents for children. This will
be one of the most interesting affairs
held for many years in Brownsville.
The Ladies' Home Journal booth,
Rebecca at the Well, art gallery,
children's toy laden tree, table of
useful articles, table of fancy art
icles, and the famous astrologer
and palmist are some . of the at
tractive features. The doors of
the opera house will open at 7:30.
Come one! Come all ! It will be
worth a visit.
The many friends of Guy Rent-
fro will be pleased to learn thai he
has secured a lucrative position in
the City of Mexico with the British
American Cable conipan'. Mr.
Rentfro has recently graduated
from a reputable business college
with high honors, standing among
the highest in his classes and. gives
promise of a splendid career. The
position the young- man has accep
ted offers ample opportunity for
promotion, and The Herald pre
dicts that Mr. Rentfro will soon
become one of the Cable, company's;
most valued employes. The gen
tleman left this morning for the
City of Mexico to begin his duties.
A pleasant call is acknowledged
from Mr. Josiah Turner, of Cam
eron county, who is among the
visitors in Corpus Christi this week.
Mr. Turner's first visit to Corpus
Christi was in 1S45, the gentle
man coming here with Taylor's
army. Among those here then were
Kinney, Dix, (father of Capt. John
Dix,) Kelsey, Mann, Everett, Pet
tigrew and others all having pass
ed away long ago. Mr. Turner,
who was in the siege of Fort Brown,
settled on the Rio Grande, owning
what is now called the Galveston
ranch, above Brownsville, where
he has resided nearly ever since.
Corpus Christi Caller.
The Herald' received a very
pleasant call from J. H. Johnston,
of Paris last Saturdav afternoon.
Mr- Johnston has been here before,
and thinks the Brownsville country
is'bound to come to the front sooner
or later. He recognizes, as every
sensible man should, that the work
of development can not be com
pleted insjx or twelve months, but
thinks the progress made this sea
son, and the success attained in
trutk and onion growing in this
section, will result in a more prompt
recognition of the advantages and
possibilities here. He leaves to
day for Rio Grande City on a pros
pecting tour and from there will
return home. Mr. Johnston tells
us he will later join a party which
will visit Mexico on a tour of 'investigation-
and will visit Jalisco
and other points along the Pacific
coast. " - '-
