Floresville Elected County seat-Baptist
Convention Camp Meeting, Etc.
Editors SAN ANTONIO LIGnT
FLoREsvILLE, Texas, July 10, 1885,
When, in the course of human events, ii
becomes our duty to break some painful bit of
news to the public we perform the task deli
cately, yet firmly and fearlessly. In the
present instance we are called upon TO
chronicle the result OF the late county seat
election. The day passed off quietly, but
great amount of energy was exhibited in Sc
curing voters, and as a result the largest ever
known to be polled in the county was cast on
that day. All day long the little quiet, yet
brave and mighty, weapons were hurled into
the enemy's camp, and the close of day wit
messed a defeat for Sutherland Springs.
Although we have not the official count yet
enough is known to safely place the result at
400 majority for Floresville, and Floresvians
are now happy. On the other hand Suher-
land Springs does not submit gracefully to its
defeat but called a meeting to consider the
question Of another election on the ground Of
error 10 the order of the last one. Our in
formant does not know to what extent they
considered. Your correspondent hopes they
will not do any rash act, and consider
Its triumphs are won In silence
As solemn as ought can be,
Its weapons are ballots, not bullets
Its arms are brave men free"
Scarce had the election panic quieted down
when the Baptist association visited rs piyin ~
us some very interesting sermons. 1t is a
rare thing for our citizens to have such an ar
ray OF talent come together in their midst.
Services were held in a pleasant arbor near
the academy. We hope much good may
result from their short visit with US.
Rev. Jones, pastor in charge Of Floresville
M. E. Church South, proposes holding camp
meeting at the following places; Bird S
school house, beginning July 20; Floresvlle,
July 2S; Shiloh, August 10; Stock dale, August
II; to continue two weeks at Floresville and
one week at each of the other places. Your
correspondent would be pleased to have his
old friend, Rev. II. S. Thrall, attend during
the progress Of the meetings at Floresville.
We read of a one-horse wagon running
away on Commerce street, San Antonio. II
certainly was queer sight. The horse
might have prevented it had he been attached
to the wagon. ADIos.

A Peculiar Game.

AS the LIGHT commissioner was passing
Schools yesterday he heard what appeared to
be disturbance, and naturally went inside to
investigate the matter. There he found seated
six Italians around table playing strange
game, the name of which he could not ascer-
tain. The principle Of the game was this /:
One player put out so many fingers and called
the number exhibited. The opponent had to
repeat it, and at the same time exhibit the
the same number offingers. The vehemence
with which the numbers were called and tn e
speed of exhibiting the fingers made the game
very exciting to the many spectators who
eagerly watched it.

A wOULD-BE SUICIDE.
Strange Discovery of IA Man Hanging by
HIs Heels Near Houston Street.

As my friend and were walking past the old
bridge, our attention was attracted by mon
who was hanging head downward from one of
the cross beams, with his feet so wedged In be-
tween the timbers that II took several minutes
and our united efforts before we could extri-
cate him. Upon lifting him up found my
hands covered with blood, and as l laid him
down upon the bridge, saw a deep CASA ex-
tending from ear to ear across his throat. We
were Mortified at the CHASTITY spectacle. and my
friend fastened away for ply sican. In the
meantime / noticed an occasional trembling
of the would-be suicide, and judged rightly
that life was not extinct. BY this time the
physician arrived and at once applied restora-
lives, and in "a few moments the poor fellow
recovered consciousness; / knelt down beside
