HE ESCORTED HER HOME,
And Was Knocked Down by Two Mel
in the Second Ward.

And Was Knocked Down by Two Men
in the Second Ward.
An estimable young colOred man
named Johnny Jones, who is employed
at the International depot, went 10
church last night, and at the close Of the
service undertook to escort Golored
belle to her home in the second ward.
In passing along a dark portion OF Dali
las street two men sprang out OF the
shade, and one of them struck Johnny
pretty good lick, knocking him down,
but the blow had not sufficient force TO
stun him. The young lady became
scared and ran OFF at Il $40 gait, scream
ing. The assailants vainly endeayored
to stop her in her alarming progress,
and whilst they were so engaged Johnny
picked himself up and made equally
rapid tracks in another direction. 10
the end both Of the parties got away
without further molestation.
Johnny, when seen, soon after his es-
cape WAS considerably scared, but he
was jubilant. At the time OF the assault
he had $50 in currency and a $50 check
in his pockets, and is mighty glad that
the men did not get il.
1t is not known whether robbery or
jealOusly was the motive of the assault,
and Johnny cannot recognize his assail-
ants. The police, however, have II clue
that, it is hoped, will lead TO the arrest
of the two men.

A SAD DEATH.
The Wife of Assistant Postmaster Wal
tiers Passes to Eternal Rest.

tiers Passes to Eternal Rest.
Mrs. j. B. Walters, wife Of the assist
ant postmaster. died this morning at
$40, at the family residence on Blum
street, from puerperal fever. The de-
ceased was delivered of u girl thirteen
days ago, and appeared to be doing wei,
but within the last few days the fatal
fever developed and OccasiOned her
death.
Mrs. Walters was formerly Miss Dora
Reese, daughter of an estimGble citizen
Of Gonzales. She was born on the 2Oth
of January, 1861, and was married to
MIR. Walters in Gonzales on September
II, 1884 Since then she has resided
with her husband in this city. Two
children were the issue of the marriage,
boy, who died in June last, and a girl
who survives her unfortunate mother.
The deceased lady was most atfec-
tionate aud estimable woman. In her
own home she was loved by all who
knew her, and she has made many
friends here. Her married life was of
the happiest kind and her husband Is
broken-hearted at the rupture OF those
dearer ties. To him the LIGHT offers
its heartfelt coincidence in his sad be-
reavement.
The remains will be taken to Gonzales
tomorrow for interment in the family
grave.

In the Rogue,s Paradise.

From a gentleman who is residing in
the City of Mexico it is learned that
Max Roth, who victimiZed the Texas
Figaro and many citizens Of Texas, ar
rived in the Mexican capital in deplOr-
able condition. He was ragged, dirty,
and unkempt. That night Max took
his bearings, and Hey! Presto !!
Change :. the next day he appeared on
the streets, dressed in the most fashion
able attire, in fact, a regular dude, and
was around the streets hob-nobbing
with many influential members of the
Jockey club, who are said 70 have got
Ambassador Sedgwick into such serious
trouble. How, or by what means he had
made such change is not known, but
from enquiries that are being made in
the city, it appears that there are some
suspicious of further crOOkedness.

ABOUT CoRN-BREAD.
Almost a Bloody Ending OF an Argument
as to Who Cooked II Best.


Four men began a little argument in the Re
VOlVing Light saloon this morning at about
one o'clock, which nearly ended in shooting
sCrHpe. The agent for a preserve known as
liquid bread food, had dropped in with two Of
fiCers, II. and l.. They drank ut the bar, and
l.. and r. began talking on the merits of
this liquid bread and other bread stutfs. L..
liked corn-bread and Mr. Ball told him he
knew of a cOlored woman who could cook the
best cOrn-bTead in the country. P. was from
Maine and II. was from Maine, and something
said, made l.. little angry and he said q
few words TO p. about being a Yankee
ii. told l.. not 10 say anything ard tried TO
keep the peace, when Mr.. l.. went outside a
little while, but returned, seemingly more
garry than before. He began abusing II.
and told him he could not fight him; could
not come out on the plaza and toe a
mark with him; he struck II. in the
face and they then got on the sidewalk, and
ii. told him to pull his pistol If he wanted u lit
tie fun # that kind. As he said so both
drew pistols and LIS. pistol, which must
have been ready cooked. exploded. the ball
speeding harmlessly by, hurting no one, as
Policeman Ziegler had stepped up and
threw the weapon aside at the right time
Nothing futher was done, and the two were
separated. The matter is being Investigated
by the mayor today. Both Messrs.H. and l..
have been the best of friends until last
night, and probably are good friends yet. The
affair is to be regretted, the more SO, as IL
was evidently the result Of excitement of the
moment and no more.
