FIRE PROTECTION.
interesting Information and Facts for the
Sewer committe.

The city paid the Water Works com
pany during the year Of 1889 the sum Of
sll,39i % for fire protection. while the
actual loss by fire during that year was
S3ig7. 1t will thus be seen that the city
paid the exact sum Of sl0.S07 % more
than the loss by fire, and while the ex-
act figures OF the cost Of the Fire depart
ment are not now at hand, the fire loss
and the cost Of the Fire department will
not near reach the sum paid the Water
Works company for water never used.
The actual cost per gallon during that
year was trife over II l-3 Gents.
There are now 800 bydrants at
$50 year, which will amount to $4,000,
and II IL said by the Water and Gas COM
mittee that by the end OF the year there
will be 80 more, which will make $50 by
drants at $50 year amounting to- Sli,.
800. to which must be added the amount
exempt from taxation, which Is S3l25,
and the $500 that the city pays the
school fund for the rent of the ground
and occupied by the pump house. which
aggregates S3625, and you will have the
total OF $2l 1875. which will be the annual
amount claimed by the Water Works
company from the city for fire protec-
ton.
These figures are offered the Sewer
committee for their Information when
they have the conference meeting with
Colonel Breckenridge, and may furnish
slight basis or which to calculate how
much more to pay him for sewer privil-
eyes to make him u warranty deed to
the city.

In the year 1869 the Bastile was built
In order to protect Charles V against the
inoursions of the Burgundians. Among
the noted prisoners was the celebrated
young French physician, DR.. Mannette,
who was called from his home by hired
ruilians who represented that II poor
woman was bleeding to death but a short
distance away. The young man kissed
his pretty wife, hastily picked up his
case of instruments and departed on his
errand of mercy. The unfortunate man
was thrown into a lower dungeon of the
Bastile and never saw his loved one
again. He was discovered by the mob
who had broken down the strong doors
and overcome the guards and keepers of
this living tomb in the year 1888. The
wrecked man had been imprisoned 90
years when found, and from young ac-
tive man had become complete human
wreck. As his liberators burst open
he door of his dungeon, the poor man
cried piteously that they should not
murder him, and rs they gathered
around him he continually begged them
to 90 away that he wanted TO be left
alone, that the light hurt hs-eyes. The
horrliied spectators noticed that the
walls were covered with vermin, and in
places red marks which on close scru-
fury proved to be blood. A most horri-
BILE stencil pervaded the place, and they
were hurrying 10 get out when one OF
them discovered some characters on the
dirt besotted walls. Holding lantern
so that Its rays reflected brightly on the
letters, they finally made OUT that Emer-
son sold goods cheaper than any other
man In San Antonio, and that Emerson's
was good place to get money or spend
II. Good silver watches warranted at
81, So and 81. Good clocks warranted
from 81 up. Money to loan at low rates
and that was all.

Another Auction Sale Of Wool.

Yesterday afternoon the weymiller
clip of 1853 bags was sold at auction, and
brought 10 cents per pound. Consider
ing the condition of the wool this is the
highest price paid for wool this fall.
Mr.. Chilly, of Trinidad, Col, was the
buyer.
The selling by auction is rapidly grow
ing In favor, and II is predicted that in
the only way that wool will be sold I'm this
market The two auction sales this fall
brought the highest figures, and 1t Is
the only way that wool is sold in Lon
don, Liverpool, Australia, and others of
the largest markets of the world.
