2 A SON OF SAM HOUSTON. The .Escapade of a Man Who Disgraces a , Name Great in History. Galveston Dispatch in Globc-Dcmocrat. Temple Houston, son of the illustrious Sam Houston and Senator-elect from the Pan Handle district, while in a state of intoxication attempted to take the life of Policeman John Smith, who had placed him on a street car with the intention of seeing him home. After Smith had got Mr. Houston aboard of the car, paid his fare and instructed the driver where to let him oil, he excused himself to Houston and left the car. Houston followed him and insisted that Smith should go into the grocery store of C. Jordan and drink with him. Smith demurred to this, when Houston seized him, drew him up into the doorway and quick as a flash whipped out his navy revolver and presented it full in the officer’s face, saying: “I will show you the kind of a man I am.” Smith dodged, and as he did so seized Houston’s wrist, giving it a powerful wrench, which caused him to drop his revolver, when a struggle ensued, resulting in Officer Smith taking Houston to the police station, where Houston became so violent and abusive that the Chief of Police ordered him to jail to sober up. On the way to the jail he re sisted so violently that force had. to be used, ! and he was landed in that institution, all covered with mud, hatless and al nost s loe less, where he remained the greater part of i the night until he sobered up, when he was . released on bond to appear before the Re corder in the morning to answer to the i charge of assault with intent to commit t murder, and another for carrying concealed < deadly weapons. Houston had arrived here but recently , with the intention of spending the Christ- ( mas holidays with his wife and friends in ( this city prior to his departure for Austin to , take his seat in the forthcoming Legislature. A Sailor’s Description of His Bride. A member of the Seamen’s Association, lately married, is reported to have given to his comrades the following description of his new craft: “My wife is just as handsome a craft as ever left a milliner’s dry dock ; is clipper built, and with a figure head not often seen on a small craft. Her length of keel is five feet six inches, displacement twenty-seven cubic feet; of light draught, which adds to her speed in the ball-room ; full in the waist, spare, trim. At the time we spliced she was newly rigged, fore and aft, with standing rigging of iace and flowers; main sail part silk, fore-stay-sail of Valenci ennes, and stu’n’—sails trimmed with orange blossoms. Her frame was of the best steel, covered with silk, with whale bone stanchions. The ringing s intended for fair weather cruising. She has also a set of storm-sails for rough weather. 1 have been told that in running down street before the wind she answers the helm beau tifully, and can turn around in her own length if a handsome craft passes.” Orange, Mass., May 23,1883.
