A PANIC.
The Entertainment at Casino Hall Yester-
day a Fraud.

A panic occurred ut the Casino hail
yesterday afternoon among the children
who attended the entertainment given
by Prof. Leon and Madam Austin. II
had been advertised that at the conclu-
sion OF the programme presents would
be given to each one In the audience.
There was some delay In this part Of
the agreement. and the children becom-
ing restless. commenced shouting out
for their money to be returned, as they
had been swindled. The disturbance
continued to increase until perfect
scene OF confusion ensued, the children
Jumping on the chairs and smashing
them, also breaking the windows In
their endeavors to reach the stage. The
uproar attracted the attention of the
police, and Captain Hughes entered the
nall TO ascertain the reason Of the dis
turbance. His appearance was the sig
nal for n worse scene OF confusion.
the children taking Captain fom
Hughes for Professor Leon. They
surrounded him and demanded their
money back, saying they had been
swindled; one young lady slapped his
face, and another pulled his beard. At
ter several efforts he reached the stage
and attempted to pacify the angry ju-
veniles by speaking TO them, but with
out effect. Finally he went to frofes-
sor Leon and obtained the so-calied
presents, which were mere rubbish, and
attempted to commence the work of dis
tribution himself. This was hopeless
task and he was carried bodily by the
surging crowd of small humanity to the
door. He finally threw away the basket
and managed TO get the children down
the steps without any injury. The
whole performance throughout was Of n
very Inferior character. and the promo
tiers of 1t undoubtedly swindled the chill
dren by holding out a bait that presents
would be given away, which on exami-
nation, consisted of small wax tapers.
bits OF tin and marbles.

In the year 1869 the Bastile was built
In order TO protect Charles V against the
incursions 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 n 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
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 1889. The
wrecked man had been imprisoned 80
years when found, and from young ao-
tive man had become a complete human
wreck. AS his llberators burst open
he door of his dungeon, the poor man
cried piteously that they should not
murder him, and as they gathered
around him he continually begged them
to go away that he wanted TO be left
alone, that the light hurt his eyes. The
Mortified spectators noticed that the
walls were covered with verInin, 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 to get out when one Of
them discovered some characters on the
dirt besotted walls. Holding a lantern
SO that its rays reflected brightly on the
letters, they finally made out that Elmer
son sold goods cheaper than any Other
man In San Antonio, and that Emerson'l

it. Good silver watches warranted a
So, 50 and 81. Good clocks warranted
from 81 up. Money to loan at low ratei

How Was II Done?

William Froelich, German from The
country, was picked up from the ditch
on North Flores street, opposite MIR.
Jose Cassiano's residence, about IL
o'clock last night by Officer Martin and
taken to the police station. He had a
very bad, deep cash in the front part Of
his head that laid bare the skull. lie
was very drunk and could give no ac-
count Of himself. In the yard where he
was found lives negro family, and u
negro man living there told the officer
that the man came to his door and tried
to force himself in, but he refused him
Ambulance and the man went OIL. lie
did not know how he came to have the
cut on his head, but supposed he fell and
cut 1t on a rock. This story looks de-
cldedly thin, as the cut was too clean to
have been made with rock. but looked
as II 1t had been made with Ratchet
or other sharp instrument. The man
laid In the bat cave all night, and this
morning the Recorder allowed him to
go. without fine. He left, bareheaded
and.bloody and no doubt is now wander
ing about the city, with his wound not
yet dressed.

Valuable Relic.

The Spanish spear head reported
found by the Express, in the excavation
for the bank building next door, is one
of the most valuable relics of the early
Spanish colonists yet discovered. Mo.
Cosgrove can vouch for having stuck it
in the ground himself over 800 years
ago, and that 1t is OF the finest Damas-
Gus steel, having had 1t made by Fritz
Russl out OF a horse-shoer's rasp. The
spear head should be sent to the Smith
sonan Institute, there to be held as a
proof OF the pointedness Of the Express
editorials, on the water works question.

The Salt to Compel an Accounting Of the
seal.Rsek Tobacco Company.
An Associated Press telegram from
San Francisco August 30th says: A
decision was rendered yesterday in the
Superior Court by Judge Mcguire in
the case Of Witcher Jones, formerly OF
Danville, Va, against Joseph Bran
denstein and Berg Bachman & Co. ei
al, which, from the amount involved
and the prominence Of the persons con-
cerned, has attracted much attention.
The plaintiffclaimed he entered into part
.nership' with Brandenstein and Berg
Bachman & Co. September, 1881, for the
purpose Of manufacturing tobacco un-
der the name of the Seal-Rock Tobacco
Company that on January Q, 1882,
his partners, without his knowledge,
formed a partnership with Noses Hell
ler, Henry Sutliff, and others, and or
ganized the j. B. Pace Tobacco Com
pany y; that the defendants have paid
themselves from the dividends Of this
company since its organization 81, l,000,-
600 and that the affairs Of the Seal
Rock Company were secretly misman-
aged by his partner so as to cause its
failure and absorption by the j. b. Pace
Company.
The Court decided that the Seal-Rock
Company was merely an agency of the
original partnership Of September,
1881; that the J. b. Pace Company
was a similar agency; that the property
of both companies belonged to the CO.
partners and that the plaintiff was
entitled to dissolution Of co-partner-
ship and the accounting prayed for.
The value of the property involved is
said to amount to several million dol
lars.
