Arkansas Pass Notes.

Conductor j. Z. Barker brought In
Yesterday evening Is cars cattle, one car
horses, one car wool, two cars wood and
ITO passengers.
The stock business on this road Ia in
creasing to such an extent that the man
agement Is compelled to increase its mo-
tive power orders for more engines
and their arrival may be looked for some
time next month.
The new stock yards, under the man.
agement OF Mr.. Baker, are nearing COM
pletion, and the same will be a great
convenience to stock men, as these pens
are right on the river so that stock on
arrival, or before shipment, can have
facilities for watering.
The company seems TO spare no ex-
pense or labor in accommodating its
patrons.
Mr.. B. +. Yoskum, manager, is Inde-
fatigable In his exertions to make the
road frst-class In all respects.
The only thing lacking now is a regu-
lar Sunday excursion train to run as far
as Jackson's gulch, distance Of "a miles
from San Antonio. At this place is q
magnificent grove with seven or eight
springs, and what is strange about these
springs is that no two springs are alike
as regards the taste Of water, one is sui
pher, another salty or blacklist, and SO on /.
PEOPLE not wishing to 60 this
far could get off at Bergs mills,
or various other places along the
route In order to escape the heat
and dust during the hot summer months
on Sundays, and we sincerely trust that
the company will look into this matter,
as great many San Antonians are ask
ing for 1t. We are satisfied, however,
that II the matter is placed before Presi-
dent Lott or b. T. Yoskum, manager,
the request will be acceded to.

Editor San Antonio Light.
With your permission | wish to call
attention to the presence Of Rev. Pin
son, great revivalist, in our city con-
Quoting q protracted meeting at the
Travis Park NJ. +. church; services at 8
a. IN. and S:l5 p. III. each day during
the week. The discourse last night
upon Seeking the Lord with the whole
heart" was delivered to large and in
telligent audience. That the services
were not in vain was shown by the
large number who rose for prayer. In
fact such was the interest that many
fingered at the mercy seat after the con-
gregation was dismissed, and the sex
ton had to delay closing the church for
some time. Already there have been sey-
eral conversions.
The prayer meeting this morning
was, without doubt, the best meeting yet
held in the city, so far as know. True,
Mr.. Williams, with all his earnestness,
and Mr.. Moody, with his international
reputation, have come and gone, but
there Is man In our city just from a re-
vival in which there were 40 converts

Be More Careful.

Young lads with guns in the thick
brush and underground on the hills OF
the rural suburbs, should be very care
full in shooting, lest some one passing
unseen should be victimiZed instead OF
lawful game. The excuse Of want OF
intention to kill human being would
be readily offered; but the guilt of care
lessness would be two evident. The
whizzing Of ball in unpleasant prox-
unity to passenger Is not unusual.

Death.

This morning, at 1929, the worn and
severely tried spirit of Mr.. John How
ard took its flight from IFS tenement OF
clay. He had been bed-ridden from par
alysis for fourteen years, and in coDse-
Quence thereof, few of the ancients
knew what had become Of him. The de-
ceased was native of Maryland, and
was descended from cadet OF the How
ard family, Of England, who emigrated
with calvert, Lord Baltimore. who
founded Maryland. Mr.. John Howard
removed to Texas, either in 1888 or 1889
and has been a citizen of San Antonio
for the space of AZ years. He participa-
ted in many of the stirring nights with
the Indians. in the interval between
1899 and 1916, and he served throughout
the war with Mexico. Mr.. Howard was
also one of the Texans who were cap
tured at Santa Fe prior to the admission
Of Texas into the United States. The
deceased was In his 9th year. Those
who knew Mr.. John Howard, the long
est and best, describe him AS large
hearted, generous. chivalrous gentle
man, who was faithful to his friends,
and placaOle towards his enemies. The
people Of the city should turn out, en-
masse, to attend the obsequies OF gen.
tleman who resided In San Antonio for
AZ years. Peace be to his ashes.

Il Scared Than.

Many persons residing on or near the
San Pedro avenue, were awakened or
alarmed at L o'clock last night by hear
ing a locomotive on the avenue. At
first they thought that one of the rail-
road engines had got of the track and
was on II jambOree. Then remembering
the steam roller they were afraid that
some boys were larking with it, and that
there WAS danger ahead. On going to
ascertain the cause they learned that it
was only the steam roller being re-
moved in proper charge. That was
perhaps all right, but people think that
IL should not be moved at such an I'M
seemlN hour.
