Mary Layer Last Evening.
Mr.. August Schwartz was married to Miss
Mary Layer at the German Lutheran church
last evening. The ceremony was conducted
by the Rev. A. Wieder. BY the time the hour
for the ceremony had arrived, the little church
was crowded with the congregation and the
friends Of the high contracting parties. The
altar was tastefully decorated with boqut IS of
flowers and every thing betokened the happy
event to take place. Mr.. Wieder took occa
sion, on the arrival of the bridal party, to well
come them, and then to deliver an appropriate
discourse, which kept the audience in suspense.
Upon the conclusion of the ceremony, which
was very interesting, the happy couple and
their guests repaired to the residence of the
groom at the southwest corner 0f Belvin and
north Flores street, where an elaborate supper
was really for their enjoyment. The company
kept up the entertainment until midnight,
when they dispersed, leaving Mr.. Schwartz
and his wife at home
The bride was the recipient of some hand
some presents from her friends, among them
a toilet set from Dr. Amos Graves, a silver
card receiver from Mr. Geo. Smith, a pair Ct
handsome vases from Miss Otela Rippstein, a
pair Of vases from Mr.. Huppertz, an elegant
rocking chair from Mr.. Wolfson, handsome
dressing case from Mr.. Geo Kalteyer and a
fruit stand from Mr.. Felix Bachrach, beside:
several useful household articles.

There was numerous gathering at the
springs last evening. Many of those present,
participated in the prize dance for the gold
medals to be awarded to the best dancers.
Messrs. Sim Hart, Harry Fowler and w. H.
Cayce were chosen as judges. They did no.
have any trouble in picking the best dancer
among the gentlemen. for even the unprac
ticed eye could see that Master Porfrio Garcia
would carry off the laurels. He is a lad ot
some twelve years and exhibited wonderful
grace in his movements. But it became diff
cult to choose from among the bevy of young
ladies'. Some five or six rounds were made
in which the number gradually decreased un
til finally there remained but three, Miss Ella
Welsh, Miss Hattie Ferry and Miss Letitia
Porter. 10 Miss Porter was awarded the
prize. She had attended dancing school onl,

OUR BUSINESS SEASON

Tomorrow is the last day of summer, and
ordinarily we might claim the end of the sum-
mer dull season, and the beginning
OF the business season to last through
to the next summer but San Antonio
has known no dull season this year
her business has steadily increased while
its building boom has reached a higher point
than ever before known in its history.
But the fall season is upon US to augment
and add volume to the trade; the grain crop
is made and being marketed; the cotton fields
are yielding their snowy fleece, and the Hocks
of sheep on thousand hills are labornp I'M
der their load OF wool, soon to be clipped
and sent to our market. We predict that the
business season now upon us will be unpre-
cedented in its results, and will demonstrate
that our city is not quite equal to its require
ments. We want larger hotels, and larger
capitals invested in our mercantile houses.
banks and commission houses. We need
more enterprise among our business men,
looking to the future, in order that we may
grapple the advantages Of the present moment
to secure our city against the possibility of
falling away in our trade and commerce. We
should right now see that railway to Fred
ricksburg and to the coast is put on foot and
built within the next two years. Then we can
laugh at all efforts to take away our trade

trct from defeat by conscntiug to fraud

Of schoolboy at gamo of marbles, 1T is
easy to sec the end of Lamar's potency as a
factor in American politics.
In fact the affair concerns him more
than IL docs Manning; and it concerns the
Democratic party moro than either. We
take IL for granted that if the tclcgraphic
report is correct, Chalmers must get the
scat upon contest; for we do not believe 1t
possible to find Democrats enough to make
majority of the House who, upon second
thought, could be so bcsottcd rs to ratify
such swindlc. We hope that Senator
Lamar, for the sake of his name in history
If not for the credit of his status in current
politics, will lose no time in disavowing
this outrage. As 1t stands, 1t may be
termed the first great blunder of tho Demo-
cratic party since its restoration to power.
And we hazard nothing in saying that, il 1t
is ratified by the House, no further blum

The Numbering Begun.

We have never taken much stock in the
staple Republican outcry against alleged
"outrage" and Intimidation" in the South.
In the late contest between General Chal-
mers and Hon. Van II. Manning, in what
is known as the Oxford District of Missis-
sippi, our sympathies were with Mr..
Manning, mainly because he represented
the interests Of our friend, Senator Lamar.
But General Chalmers was elected by
majority that ought to have been unques-
tionable, and having been elected, the COM
mission should have been issued to him by
the officer whose duty 1t is to canvass the
returns and declare the result. 1t appears,
however, that the county clerk Of Tate
County, in which something over 1,400
votes were cast for ]. r. Chalmers, returned
the same upon his tally.sheet as having
been cast for J. r. "Chambless > where
upon the canvassing officer deducts those
votes from Chalmers, thus leaving Manning
with plurality, and issues the commission
to the latter gentleman.
1t does not require intimate acquaint.
anoe with the facts to demonstrate that
this is n simple, unembellished fraud. In
fact, it is the clumsiest and most buAgling
fraud that ever came to our knowledge.
1t amounts to the Acknowledgement of
majority of the voters of q county by one
stroke of the pen of a clerk, and that stroke
so apparently willful and intentional that 1t
does not admit of even the poor defense of
'clerical error"
The clerk of Tate County knew very
well that no person of the name of j. II.
"Chambless" was running for Congress in
that district--or any other district for that
matter. He knew that j. X. Chalmers
was running, because, as is admitted in the
telegraphed account Of his own proceedings,
the ballots themselves had that name and
no other upon them.
This affair will present an embarrassing
situation to the Democratic House Just
chosen. With sixty.odd majority the
Democrats can easily sustain the fraud by
which Chalmers has been swindled out Of
his seat If they want to but If their ma
jority was 325, such action would DO fatal
to them-unless we wholly mistake the
temper Of the rest Of the country. 1t Is
doubly unfortunate that such a clumsy aud
silly fraud should have been attempted in
the district which is the home of Senator
Lamar, because, as we remarked, his politl-
cal interests were regarded as involved ia
tae contest and therefore some part Of the
disgraceful responsibility will be likely Ia
fall upon him. This Is sorry period Ia
put to the brilliant career of the great
Southern Liberal If his fortunes have
become SO desperate that he can only save
his candidate for Congress In his own dis
