card of yesterday does sn injuutico
In attributing selfish motives to us.
We otyoct to the street-working
ordinance because it etempU one
clast of religious ministers to tbe ex
elusion of others. It specifies minis-
ters tif the gospel, excluding Unita-
rian, Jewish, Spiritualistie and oth-
er clergymen that teach no gospel.
We will admit that religion bas dons
mneb for civilisation, and due court
eay should be shown ns a token of
appreciation. This courtosy is
shown by the exemption of church
property from taxation. The Her-
ald cares nothing for the exemption
of ministers; it is the manifest ten;
dency of our laws toward churcbism
that we object to. Churches wield
a benign influence and society should
iu every proper way recognize that
fact. The laws too should grant
some immunities to churches, but
they should not be proscriptive of
some creeds, recognizing.like Kirk’s
street-working ordinance, only tbe
claims of “ministers of tho gospel.”
As we said before, this is class legis-
lation of the most pronounced type.
With such a precedent what is to be-
come of the religious liberty that the
constitution of our father’s guaran
tees ? It is but a step from this or-
dinance toembodylng religious claus-
es in all our laws. After that it will
be but a step to sectionalism and
then—we daro not picturo to our-
selves what must inevitably follow.
Religion is good; all kinds of re-
ligion have the noble aim of bone-
fitting mankind. In our humble
wny we shall always be ready to
help tho cause of morality, temper-
ance and virtue, but so far as we
havo tho powor wc shall always in-
sist that church and slate be kept at
a safe distance, one from tho ollior.
A Sickening Nuisance.
In our report-trial capacity wo
find many things to complain of—-so
many that we almost grow tired of
this part ot our duty. But wo can-
not shirk it. Our duty to tho pub-
lic however, demands that we ex-
pose a nuisance whenever and
wherever It may occur. Ono of the
most shocking and shameful nuisan-
ces that has recently come under our
notice is that tolorated by the pro-
prietors of the saloon at the north-
west corner of Main Blrcot and
Houston avenue. There is scarcely
an hour in tho day thut ono or more
drunken loalors aro not curlod up
on the roiv of boor kegs that orna-
ments the east side of tbo building
to tho disgust of all respectable peo-
ple. At night this corner hocomes a
very pandimonium—the rendezvous
for a horde of foul-mouthed, blas-
phemous drunken blacks and whites.
The orgies continue through the
night and the first beams of day
find many of them on beer kogs or
spread out upon the sidewalk sleep-
ing off tboir debauchery.
Tho guests of the Alamo hotel
mako particular complaint of the
engagemens played Sunday night.
The foul language of those congre-
gated there could he heard blocks
away. Wo aro informed upon good
authority that tbe marshal’s atten-
tion has boon called to the matter,
but for some reason he has failed
to suppress it.
We hold tho proprietors are
responsible for the kind of place
they keep and their business fos-
tors and promotes a nuisance; thoir
city license should be revoked and
thoir business suppressed, unless an
improvement is soon appaicnt.
“Our House” has changed owners
to-day. J. J. Collins has disposed
of it to his old and faithful employes
Messrs. Fox and Murphy. These
twoyotrng men are well and favor-
ably known in the community, the
junior being a son of the genial,
whole souled K. Murphy. “Our
Honso” has always enjoyod an ex-
cellent reputation in the trade, and
the new firm will endeavor to keop
tip the prestige earned under the
old n anagement. A full supply of
groceries will always be found in
stock. Tho Herald wishes the new
firm abundant success in their ven-
ture. Mr. Collins will now devote
his whole attention to his storo on
Main street, near Austin avenue.
He contemplates engaging more
largely in the wholesale grocery
trade, and knowing his indomitable
energy, we feel safo in saying that
he will build up a large trade not
only for himself but for Denison.

Tbe Fatal Duel and tbe Lonely
Death.
From tbe Sedalia Democrat.!
There are but few people in Se-
dalia wbo did not know John G.Gal-
livan, a telegraph operator, wbo
acted as manager ot the company in
this city in 1876. Ho served as mes-
senger boy in the office in 1867 8,
and by etrict attention to business
mastered the art of telegraphy, and
was given an office in Texas. His
father died there and John support-
ed his mother’s family. In 1876
John, having been appointed mana-
ger in the very office he served as
messenger, moved back to Sedalia
with his mother, who, in addition to
her own family, brought a pretty
young lady with her, wbo served in
tbe capacity ol domestic. This girl
went by tbe name of Josephene
Huarly, and was originally from
Canada.
John soon showed a decided pre-
ference for tbe society of the young
lady, and finally under promise of
mariiago seduced her. The result
of this criminal intimacy began to
show after they had been living
hero some months, and John expres-
sed a willingness to marry the girl
as he had promised to do, but bis
mother violently opposed such a
step. When the time rolled around
for the girl to bocomo a mother, she
was bundled up and sont to a hospi-
tal in St. Louis, to pass through the
trying ordeal among strangers. Sho
had relatives in that city, but would
not go noar them to publish her own
disgrace. In duo course ot time she
gave birth to a boy, tho vory imago
of its father. Sho returned to this
city with tho little pledge, and again
appealed to John to oomply with
his promiso of marriage, but his
mother still stood in the way and
forbid tho bans.
Tho young mothor was induced to
tako a trip to Texas, and during her
absence John and his mother’s fami-
ly removed to St. Louis, whore he
got employment in the Western
Union office.
Tbe girl returned from her Texim
trip to tins city after a few months
absence to plead for that acknowl-
edgement duo her, but found hor
seducer gone. She sought the ad-
vice of frionds and was told to
follow him up. Sbo coramunicatod
with him by lotter and made an
appeal that would have mcltod a
heart of ice. He replied that If she
would come to St. Louis ho would
marry her. Sho went at once, with
bright hopes before her, and he mot
hoi- at the depot, and would proba-
bly havo carried out his promise
this time only for tho influence
that had been brought to bear on
him on previous occasions, and he
was again induced to disgraco his
manhood by giving tbe girl the
dodge and leaving her to care for
horHolf and child as best sho could.
Tho Gullivans at once went to
work, pulled up stakes and departed
for parts unknown. Somo days
after their departure the girl was
surprised by receiving a dispatch
from John, telling her to join him
at Omaha. True to her womanly
instincts, she was willing to follow
the object of ber love and cause of
her disgrace, to the ends of the
earth. Sho started immediately to
Omaha, and arrived there only to
tied that her seducer had again
given hor tho dodge. Sho then
came to this city, and aftor remain-
ing a short timo, started once more
ill search of the ono who was un-
worthy of such devotion as hers.
John's name, it is said,was placed
upon the telegrapher’s black list,
which would prevent him from get-
ting employment in any offico in the
Unitod States, and ho became a
ided satisfaction. Instead
of matting tho non whom hn
baa robbed G. left tbe city hastily.
Before leaving ho placed Joxie un-
der tbe onre of his mother—who
knew1 folly of the liason. The young
grocery merchant threw up bis situ-
ation and followed the deatroyor of
hia happiness. Prom that time un-
til the fatal meeting near Texarkana
some months since it was a race for
lite. As told above, Josie and
John’s mother followed him from
place to place; and but lor the oppo-
sition of his mother young Gallivan
would have married tbe girl. At
Sedalia, while Gallivan was in
charge of the Western Union there
tbe young grocery clerk (whom in
this we will call Samuel T.) found
him. Samuel gave John the alterna-
tive of marrying the girl or fighting
to tho death. John agreed to marry
hor within forty-eight hours. Hero
Samuel rested upon his oars* but be-
fore tho forty-eight hours bad ex-
pired Gallivan was far, far away.
Samuel acknowledged bimsolt loil-
ed again but ho did not relinquish
his search. Although baffled he pur-
sued his purpose and dogged the sc-
ducor’s stops. Ho was only ablo to
track him by watching tbe move-
ments ot Mrs. Gallivan and Josie.
So Boon ns John would secure a sit
uation the women would join him.
John knew that revenge was upon
his truck and ho moved about rap-
idly. Finally Samuel came upon
John near Toxnrkana he begged for
his lifo and again promised to marry
Josio; hut Samuel had woaried of
such promises and told him that he
must fight. They were both armed.
Tho mooting occurred about sun-set
one evening. Tbe two young men
walked silently away from tho littlo
town and sought a socludod spot.
John again promised to marry the
girl he had ruined and begged for
his life. Samuel answered that ono
of them must dio. With no eye
but that above they took thoir
places a few paces apart and a
moment later two pistol reports
rang out upon the twilight air. It
had been mutually Bggreod that in
case one fell the other should go
away wiih his lips sealed. At the
first fire Gallivan fell mortally
wounded; Samuel received a slight
flesh wound in the left arm. Going
to Gallivan he asked if ho should go
for a physician, but ho answered
“no, a physician can do no good ; it
is a dead shot. Get away from
here and save yourself.” They
parted. During the night young
Gallivan crawled back into the
town and under the dopot platform
where ho diod. He evidently in-
tended to get to tho railroad and
go to Dallas where Josio and hia
mother were awaiting him.
The abovo is furnished tho Her-
ald by a “mutual friend” of both
John ana Sam. and who did uil in
his power to avert tbo terrible trag-
edy.
RECORDER’S COURT.
Wo’ve never heard tho mayor
sing, and don’t think that lie can
sir; but if ho could and wanted to,
wed recommend this stanza ;
I’m mayor Grubbs of Denison
town, the council cut my salary-
down, its enough to make an an an-
gel frown, though he’s mayor of the
city.
If uny such reflections through
tho mayors cranium passed, tho
wanderer. A letter was received a press ot other business would not lot
day or so ago by a lady in this city
from her husband who is in Texas,
and knew John well, stating that
the dead body of tho seducer had
been found under a railroad plat-
form in a town in Toxas, Bomo days
prior to the date of the letter, in an
advunced state of decomposi lion. It
was impossible to toll whether he
bad crawled under tbo platform and
died or whether he had been mur-
dered and his body secrotod there.
It is possible that the avonger of
the girl has followed him in his
wandering and lias meted out jus-
tice lo him. Or it may bo that the
lashings of a guilty conscience drovo
hint to a suicide’s death, and after
taking poison he crawled under tho
platform like a poisoned rat into its
hole, to die where his struggles
would not be seen. In either event
it looks very much like a just retri-
bution.
The subject of the above, John
Gallivan, was at one time con-
nected with the telegraph bus-
iness in this city and it was
hero in tho winter of 1878 4
that John fell upon the roel of bis
fate. It was here that be first mot
Josie Huarly, a very pretty and
sprightly Frencli-Canadian girl of
about sixteen years of ago. Josie
was, previous lo meeting John, en-
gaged to a young man who was
clerking in a store in ibis city. But
them last; for Wright, the stout po-
liceman upon the scene appeared,
and to the mayor’s presence five
male offenders steered. Four were
charged with being drunk, and
there was no denial, saving the court
tbe trouble and tbe labor of a trial.
A fifth admitted no was drunk, and
while faking bis composure upon
tbo Btree, was guilty of indelicate
exposure. The quintetto was all
sent to jail to work out fines anil
foes, and now at Pryor’s calm re-
treat they get tboir moals and case.
Not the mayor, nor the marshal,
nor e’en the city clerk, from this
mornings lieatod levee, got the
“equiv’lent” lor their work. Now
this is very liUoly just what tbe
mayor thinks, if he sang, lie well
could do so to the timo of Captain
Jinks:
I’m mayor Grubbs of Denison
town, the council cut my salary
down, and cut the officers all aroun’,
though they labor for the city.
There is a moral to this talo which
clearly goes to show that wicked-
ness and punishment with one an-
other go.
