THK OPKRA-nOPSB RINK.
The Bicycle combination, consisting of
M'lle. Louise Ormanda, John B. Prince, W. J
Morgan and T. W, Eek, were greeted by a
large aubience at the Opera house rink, last
night, and gave an interesting exhibition;
which was repeated at the matinee and to •
night. The small circuit gave but slight ac-
commodation fcr the display of their great
powers which has given them their present
reputation. If the weather permits the use of
the Fair grounds race course, ou effort will be
made to match them against a race-horse,
which will afford a good opportunity for a
tine exhibition.
At Tuesday night's ladies reception the man-
agement nill offer a pair of nickel-clamp
ckates for the best lady general skater, to be
determined by judges from all the skaters on
the surface. After the match the decision of
the judges will be announced. This plan is
adopted so that the competition will be op«n to
all lady skaters, a majority of the ladies not
desiring to enter Bingly into a competitive
skating match. •
On the following Tuesday there will be a
fancy drefs skating carnival with scenic
effects. No Bkater will be allowed to appear
on the surface except in costume, the custom-
ary character and masquerade costumes being
need, except the mask, which will not be per-
mitted to be worn. The managers of the
Opera-bouse rink gay that they intend to make
it a firm affair, not equaled sinoe the Cinde-
rella Fairy opera given by Mrs. Benson several
years ago. The ladies are already making ar-
rangements for striking anil beautiful cos-
tumes. The prizes will be the finest yet
given.
LADIES EFFORT SOCIETY.
The Ladies Effort society of tho First Bap-
iist church recently had its annual election of
officers, which resulted as follows: Miss
Barziza, president; Mrs. J. M. C. Breaker and
P. Hadley, vice-presidents; Miss Stewart,
treaturer, and Mrs. Fred M. Court, secretary.
This society has made, during the year,
f 1049 60, and paid out $1045 15 on the new
church building. The completion of the ohurch
building is the object for which they will
work this year.
FARLEY SMITH WON THE PRIZE.
Master Farley Smith, instead of Master Far-
ley Wilson, won the one-mile race last night
at the Casino skating rink, thereby receiving
his reward in the shape of a season ticket.
Bis time was recorded at four minutes and two
seconds. Master Farley Smith says that he
viill enter the five-mile race and compete for
the gold badge v/hieh is to decorate the cham-
pion of Houston.

On next Tuesday the following race stock
willli ave Houston for NewOrleans: Ferg Kyle,
Sulieta, John Henry, and perhaps Baralnister.
They will be in charge of their trainer, R. M.

rington and Louis Campbell, jockeys who

MARTIN SCHMIDT'S SAFE ROBBED.
Burglars entered the store of Martin
Schmidt, on the earner of Congress and Travis
streets, this morning, and robbed his safe of
¥150. Mr. Schmidt told your correspondent
that he was informed that about 3 o'clock a.
m. lights were visible in the back part of his
store, nnd persons were seen moving about.
Citizens who witnessed this were under tho
impmr.ion that some of the employes of the
store were still at work, and gave it no more
than a passing notice. All the doors of the
tstablishment were found locked this morning,
tut investigation showed that tho burglars
made their way up a telegraph polo on Travis
street to the wooden awning, and en-
tered the building by a side
window. From the fsecond floor they
went down stairs to tho business office in the
back part of the building. Mr. Schtniat is of
♦be opinion that the safe was unlocked by a
key that was made from the proper one. The
money had been placed and locked in the safe
last l>ight when Mr. Schmidt left for home.
This morning the safe was found locked, but
the money was not visitils. An examination
of the store showed that nothing had bsen
token from the fine wares of the house. The
bin gluts seemed to know what they were
looking for, and in getting it had a walk over.
The safe had no combination.

ANOTHER ARREST.
Julia Ely's husband has also been arrested
and placed in the county jail on a suspicion
that he knows something about the poisoning
of James A. Sweeney. Julia still sticks to
her original stcrv of having gone to Cross
Timbers to attend tho funeral of a doad rela-
tive. Up to the present time no reports have
come to the city to substantiate Julia's story,
lurtln r than one from Tom Lubbock, who
served papers on a negro woman, at Green's
ba>ou, last Thursday, who told him that she
had just rolurned from the funeral of a col-
ored woman who had been buried at Cross
Timbers. The officers are quietly at work
trying to unravel the mystery that has de-
prived a worthy family of its natural pro-
tector.
miss ANNA SWEENEY INTERVIEWED.
The Journal, this evening, published the
following interview that its city editor had
with Miss Anna Sweeney, sister of James A.
Sweeney, who died from poison, at the hands
of fome unknown person or persons:
"This mornbig a Journal reporter called
upon Mi68 Annie Sweeney, sister of the late
James A. Sweerey, to ascertain whether any
further developments had occurred iu connec-
tion with the recent deplorable death of her
brother. The lady, though showing evident
BfgrB of her deep distress, was vainly en-
deavoring to conceal It, and endure with as
much composure as possible the pitiless decree
of fortune.
" Has there been any further or lato develop-
ments in connection with the late unfortunate
occurrence?" asired the reporter.
" Nothing at all," she replied, " tho affair is
as darkly clouded in mystery now to us as it
ever was. But you say the negress Julia Ely
has been arrested. I can't imagine that she
had auything to do with it Bhe always con-
ducted herself about the house properly, and
gave perfect satisfaction as a servant. She is
not what would bo called a city darky, but is
unsophisticated, and, I believe, perfootly honest.
1 have often beard her use complimentary and
pleasant expressions about ray brother. She
seemed to think a great deal of him, and al-
ways seemed pleased to work at the house.
No, sir; ho never spoke harshly to her during
the the time; in fact, as mother attended to
the household matters, he had no doalings with
her whatever. She left the house and weut to
the country to attend the funeral of her Bister,
jubt as has already oeen stuted." For this
statement the reporter thanked the young lady
and withdrew.
