SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Dec. 12.--An eff
fort is making by President Lott Of the
san Antonio & Arkansas Pass road, Dan
Sullivan the banker, Arson Maher and j.
w. B. Patterson to establish union stock
yards in the southern portion of the city,
where beeves Of West Texas can be
handled for shipment to st. Louis,
Chicago and elsewhere with more facility
than at present. A fifty-acre tract of land
has been purchased and as soon as SIS 200
have been subscribed active work will be-
gin on the sheds, pens and necessary
buildings and office. The sum of Sl2, 900
has already been subscribed and it is
expected that the remaining $4,000 will be
raised in few days and that work
will begin before the middle OF Jan
uary next. This lis an enterprise
of vast Importance to San Antonio. With
the completion of the Arkansas Pass rail-
way the practicablllty of such yards are
beyond doubt, as the question of freights
will be regulated by the competition of
water and rail routes.

AN oPERA-HOUsE INCIDENT NOT DOWN
ON THE PROGRAMME.
A very pretty little incident occurred
at the opera-house yesterday evening
after the matinee. Several ladies ex-
pressed desire to be presented TO Miss
Katie Putnam. When this was intimated
to the latter she sent them a cordial inyi-
ton to meet her behind the scenes. In
the aiterpiece, "a Youth Who Never Saw
a Woman" Miss Putnam, as the YER
dant youth, prints an enthusiastic
kiss upon the cherry lips
of the first maiden whose
lovellness broke upon his Cor herr en-
raptured gaze, This kiss inspired one OF
the ladies with au intense passion to pose,
herself, as the target Of the kisses of the
charming yet innocent youth. Some one
told the talented little actress of this,
and when the lady in question was in
troduced, still dressed as the youth, she
laughingly threw her arms around the
visitor and printed an impulsive kiss
squarely upon her lips. The recipient OF
the honor was equal to the occasion, aud
exclaimed "Go way, Strawberries and
cream" Who will blame her?

Jo BADGERS STORY.
His Wonderful Shot at the old Crow
 i'm Fork State

HIS Hf OnOeT1u1 ShOt at lhe e1O SEo VI in York State.
 From the San Franciscan Jo Badger used to tell a good story Il may date back to another ."Jo," surnameC Miller. But Mir. Badgers story, whether old or new, always produced it's effect. Jo would gradually insert himself into s crowd of sportsmen engaged in the popular amusement of proving Ananias to have beer an unsophisticated bungler in his business and after listening to their accounts of sucl slaughter wrought among the birds and beasts as to make one wonder that the entire fauna of the region was not exterminated, he would begin in that easy drawl that pertains by right to the acknowledged raconteur ot the corner grocery:
 Speaking of shooting, the longest shot ever made was way back in York State when wasn't more'n boy. I'd been used to handlin' gun some, but nothing to speak of-wasn't considered no kind o''shot. Well it was a Sunday mornin' happened to look at an old dead tree away off, most as far as
 I could see anything There was one limb left, and crow was sittin' on it. It was so far off that 1 couldn't a seen the crow if it
 hadn't been black and the old tree so gray. I could just see twas crow, and that's about all. The old shotgun stood behind
 the door, loaded, and I took it up and just
 in fun pointed it at the crow. I didn't have
 no more idea O hittin that crow than I have
 now O shootin' you. But sighted him, and
 without thinkin' what I was a-doin' pulled
 the trigger, and bang she went"
 Here Jo would stoop down, looking for
 another piece of shingle something to
 whittle on; and after second or so some
 impatient auditor would be sure to ask
 HWell, dye hit 'im?' The surprised and
 innocent look on Je's face would be study,
 as with the air of one who had utterly for
 gotten that any denouement was expected
 he would slowly answer:
 ''Hit 'ims Bless your heart! no; didn t
 come within mile of him?"

SCENES IN A SHOPLIFTER5S LIEN A Varied Array of Goods Stolen By a
 Notorious Woman.


 BOSTON, Dec. 11.-Last May a thin, ugly middle-aged woman, who said she was un married and poor and that she worked for living hired two rooms in a, dwelling house at Everett, Mass, under the name of Smith. Every morning she went away and at night came back with some kind of 8 bundle. The other occupants of the house entertained no other suspicion of her than that she was 'Equeer." On November 3d last she disap- peared. A few days later her landlord re- ceived letter signed Jane Weldon saying that Miss Smith had suddenly started to visit friend. A few days ago the landlord, wishing to move and ignorant of his lodgers whereabouts, notified the police to take charge of that lady's property. The officers visited the rooms and one glance at the lodger's immense collection of miscellaneous articles convinced them that she was shop litter. A short investigation identified Miss Smith with Mrs. Jane Weldon, the author of the before mentioned letter, and who is now serving six months tence in the house of correction The stolen articles were found neatly packed. They have been removed for identification to the police station where those that have been unpacked cover the chairs, desks and floor of the chiefs office, while the unopened packages quite fill an adjoining room Nothing at all approaching this astonishing accumulation has ever before been known here. An iternized account of it would fill entire page of newspaper. By way of indicating it's nature the Herald prints short list specifying seven pocketbooks con taining S155; thirty eight articles of iewelry, and a great deal more; and one hundred and thirteen pieces of silver ware, and under the head of mis- cellaneous names almost anything that Mz.

 NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 11.-John Alexander, colored, convicted Of the murder of his wife last February, was hanged to-day in the par ish prison i'll the presence of the fifteen wit nesses allowed by law. Alexander killed his wife with axe, cut her to pieces, put her in sack and buried her in a ditch where the remains were found several days after, lead ing to the discovery of the murder and the conviction of the murderer.
 Alexander passed the morning chat ting with the prison officials and newspapers reporters. He gave the deputy sheriff some numbers to play in the lottery and protested against the picture of himself published in an evening paper. He was quite cheerful and frequently laughed heartily. After being baptized he ascended the scaffold and took the seat on the stool The hangman in black domino and mask stepped from cell and adjusted the rope and immediately sprung the trap. Alexander's neck was broken and death was almost instantaneous.

Faxes on the Western Union.

ALBANY, Dec. 11.-It was rumored about the Capitol to-day that the old dispute be- tween the Western Union telegraph company and the city of New York had been revived and that the sheriff on Thursday served an injunction on the officers of the company in New York to recover the amount of taxes due, $100,0O0, by that corporation. By a shrewd move the publicity of the fact has been kept from the public until now. It was also rumored. that a determined effort would be made tonight to have the Attorney General take immediate action in the matter and have the further prosecution of the case postponed until the session of the legislature when the company will endeavor to be re- lieved from the tax The Attorney General was in New York city tonight in attendance at the complimentary banquet of the Man hattan club to Governor Hill.

 clergyman praying and reading from the
 scriptures At their conclusion all save the
 members of the family withdrew. After the family had taken their last leave of the dead
 man the coffin was closed and sealed. Then, followed by the family. pallbearers and friends, the coffin was conveyed to St. Bartholomew's church and placed upon low catafalque, at the foot of the altar, near the chancel The family and friends occupied the center seats in the church and the pallbearers sat in the front seats at the right of the main aisle. The church services were the beautiful and impressive burial ceremonies of the Episco- palian church. Every feature was simple and unostentatious. The rector was assist ed by Assistant Bishop Potter and Rev Frederick W. Clampett in conducting the services. The choir, under the manage ment of MT. George Pell and assisted by Carl Waters organist, rendered MT.

The services were conducted by the Rev. MT. William H. Voegler, assisted by the Rev.
