and finish can be seen at H. Schultze
Jr. 214 E. Houston street.

Wrong House.
County Judge Wurzbach was awakened
from his slumbers at 3 o’clock this morning
by something that sounded like an elephant
walking on the front gallery of his residence.
Geiting up he discovered it to be a drunken
man who had mistaken his house amt was
tri ing to get in to no to bed. The judge led
him out the front gate and started him toward
home.
Reducingthe Rates.
It is not known whether the proposed
ox cart t 'am freight line has scared the South-
ern Pacific or not but one thing is clear a
material reduction in Texas fre ght rates has
been made to western points on that road.
For Eagle Pass the rate is 80 cents instead of
73 cents per hundred pounds and from Del
Kio it is 25 cents instead of 85 cents. Material
reductions are also made to other points.
This road also promises to furnish double
deck cars to st cktnen for transfer of sheep
and goats which means a practical reduction
of rates and these cars will hold twice the
quantity as can be carried in the ordinary
cars. _
Runaway.
Dr. Shepatd’s horse took fright today at 1
o’clock on East Commerce street while the
doctor was driving him in his phaeton and
ran down the street east of St. .Joseph’s
church which connects Commerce with Blum
street. The Doctor was thrown out and
bruised a-’d some articles he had with him
were also deposited on the ground. The horse
ran against the wall of the Menger hotel and
whs secured by Mr. ■’ill Gaston.of Bergstrom
& Gray's stables. The Doctor was taken to his
residence.
A Sad Death.
Mr. George Sampson has written a kind let-
ter to the brother of Mr. J W. Keveney of
New York giving details of the latter's sad
death which oc urred at t e Menger hotel on
Tuesday as reported m the Light. Tnose de-
tails are sad. The deceased was an estimable
young mini who came highly recommended to
influential citizens but who had practically
lost one lung and ea e here a short time ago
in search of health He was benefitted by the
climate and so pleased with the locality that
he proposed to loca’e in the city. About two
days before his death he was ailing from what
appeared to be a bad cold but did not pay
much regard to it. On Monday night he was
around feeling sick but not at all alarmed.
Symptoms of pneumonia however rapidly de-
veloped and "on Tuesday his spirit passed
away.
Madame Candelaria.
This historic relic of the Alamo returned
yesterday from Austin whence she had gone
to solicit assistance from the legislature to
enable her to pass the remainder of her days
in comparative comfort She expresses her
gratitude to Governor Ross Miss Brewster
Ke tps l ntative Robinson Senator Burgess
and many other legislators whose names she
d"es not remember for their genial cour’esy
and kind service. It is understood that Gov-
ernor Ross will -end a special message today
to the legislature and ask that this old friend
of the early day Texans may be p aced on the
pension rob of the state. We but echo the
sentiment of the people of San Antonio when
we solicit this action by the legislature.
THE RECORDER'S COURT.
A synopsis of the Cases Before his
Honor this Morning.
The habitats of the police head-
quarters are very favorably im-
pressed with the new recorder and
the general opinion is that he is one of
the best officers that ever filled that
position. Gentlemanly and dignified
in conduct he listens patiently to all
that is said upon both sides and then
takes a reasonable as well as a legal
view of the case acting as a rule very
justly to all concerned. This morning
the recorder had several cases before
him and adjudicated in the same
good manner.
Lula Pickett and Sadie Riley col-
ored damsels were charged upon a
continued case with being vagrants
to-wit public prostitutes. The col-
ored damsels pleaded guilty and
were each fined $5.
R. Reaves and W. Richards were
charged with fighting. The evidence
showed that the two men quarreled
on South Flores street over the merits
of a horse and that Richards called
Reaves a liar. Then they “fit” it out
and according to one of the main
witnesses the combatants were well
matched and therefore he would not
; let anyone interfere until the fight
! was practically over. Both men were
1 roughly used but Richards apparently
got the worst of it. The recorder
didn’t blame Reaves for resenting an
i insult but said he was wrong for
fighting on the public streets there-
fore he fined him $5 Richards as he
caused the trouble must pay $7 and
he censured the gentleman who
practically abetted the fight.
John Schrand a boy was accused of j
being disorderly but was dismissed I
with a caution.
J. M. Mullins pleaded guilty to
striking Minnie Rodgers and 'was
fined $-5.
Henry Schubert a hack driver I
went into tiie Menger hotel bar to get
a drink and left his team outside un-
attended for a half hour. So Officer
Schumacher swore but Schubert said
he left it in charge of a man to mind.
Schumacher replied this was a mere
ruse to avoid punishment. The re-;
corder evidently took this view of the |
case for he fined the accused $2 but ;
told him that if charged again with |
the same offence he would fine him
|lO.
Macedonio de la Fuente was
charged with being drunk but Mar-
shal Shardein said the man was still
too drunk for trial and his case was
con tinued.
B. E. Taylor was next charged with
violating the sanitary ordinance but
as it was shown that the notice was
only served late on Monday and he
was rectifying the evil complained of
the case was dismissed.
Changed Boarding Houses.
A man named Clioz is in the county jail.
He boarded with a poor Mexican named Pelas
and while she was absent he too* away prop-
erty over the value of $2O and skipped. He
was traced to the Brackenridge quarries by
Deputy S .er tf Krempkau and there arrest-
ed. The probabilities are that the state will
in the future provide Clioz with board and
lodging.
Turning the Tables.
It is currently reported on the street that
the mayor's interest have gone to Austin this
afternoon to try and kill the board of trade
a.i.en ituents to the city charter which passed
the house yesterday evening when they shall
come before the senate. Whatever may be the
result of this attempt it doe- not do away with
the sober fact hat the mayor's crowd have
been badly left io their attempt to add to the
powers of an office already too extended The
board of trade amendment leaves the mayor
the power of appointing his engineer and adds
to that the office of street commissioner but it
sweeps away from him the power he now
holds of appointing marshal attorney treas-
urer. auditor and assessor and makes these
offices elective.
Suit for Libel.
The suit by Joe Fuller a hackman. against
the Galveston News for (13000 damages for
libel is on trial in the district court. The
libel was published February 10 1887 in the
telegraphic correspondence sent the News by
their correspondent (). H. P. Garrett and
stated that Fuller had been arrested and
jailed for theft. Nothing on the police bcoks
could be found to prove this assertion of the
News and nobody could be found who gave
the reporter the item. He must have manu-
factured it. and now the News will have to pay
roundly for the shortcoming of the corres-
pondent.
THE EIFFEL TOWER.
As Described by a Parisian in a Let-
ter to a San Antonio Friend.
Mr. H M. Landauer of this city has re-
ceived a letter from a friend in Paris in which
he gives the following Interesting particulars
of the great Eiffel tower the new wonder of
the world that will be one of the attractions of
the Paris exposition: “Through the kindness
of Engineer Eiffel the architect of the cele-
brated Eiffel tower in Paris France a party
of fifteen persons undertook the task of as-
cending the colossal structure. At in
the afternoon the party started. Ac-
cording to the instruction of Mr.
Eiffel who told them to follow his
example starting at a slow pace and taking
step by step slowly as he found that a slow
swinging movement of the body in ascending
would to some degree lessen the tiresome
journey. At 3 o’clock the party arrived at the
first platform 350 steps. This contains four
restaurants with a capacity of seating 4.200
persons. As the temperature in the iron
staircases was very cold the party was obliged
to protect themselves with furs even for the
ears. After another march of one and a halt
hour the party reached the second platform
885 feet. At 5 o’clock only ten persons
of the party were left the rest being tired
out. After another half hour only four
gentlemen left from the original party
reached the third p'atform. On the3oth of
March the tower will be completed and to
give you an idea of this colossal structure
let me tell you that it is built t tally of iron
and is 1000 feet high. To this add the light-
ning rod twenty feet high. The lantern on
this tower has a circumference of 80 feet
and is large enough to shelter a whole family.
This is nearly a thousand feet above the earth
and seen from the Paris exposition grounds
looks not larger than the head of a pin.”
August Holzapfel of Cuero for four
years postmaster at that city as a re-
publican appointee was in the city to-
day and paid a very pleasant visit to
the Light office. Mr. Holzapfel did
good work for the republican nominee
for congress C. G. Brewster during
the last campaign.
