OUT OF THE WOODS.

A Clean Bill of Health for the Railway
Project and Pointer Taken Towards
the Panhandle.
The railroad folks were all feeling
good last night. The strain was over
and the reaction was pleasant. The
north country people were over their
sweat; San Antonio was through with
her fret and the railroad management
was all serene, you bet. The PROPOSE
tion made on Monday night for q guar
antee committee Of 40, each one of whom
should be responsible for one-fortieth Of
the amount Of right-of-way, was the
basis upon which the committee went to
work and shortly after O'Clock A-40ths
OF the pledge secure, the committee
thought it perfectly safe to come to
terms and assume the responsibility OF
the remainder l6-40ths. This was ac-
cepted all around as satisfactory and the
papers were duly signed and obligations
entered into for the building Of the road
to Kerrville via Boerne and Comfort by
November l. 1887. 1t is not expected
that any such time will be consumed in
construction, but that Is the margin.
The probabilities are that the road will
be running into KerrvIlle by next June.
The work OF the original thirteen" con-
tinues to materialize dollars slowly, and
at this writing there is only about $1,000
each Of the $4,000 pledged that
has not been subscribed. The
cost Of right-of-way should not sit
heavily upon the liberal and public spir-
tied citizens Of San Antonio. No one
will be more directly benefited by the
road than the farmers through whose
lands the road runs. These men could
well Afford to donate the right of Way
through their farms as they will be hetT
ter of after that strip is deducted than
they would be II no road was run their
way. In any case the cost of right OF
way should not fall heavily on the 40
citizens who have guaranteed il for the
general good. There have been too
many already in this railroad matter
who have accepted of the public good at
the private expense Of few no better
able to lift the burden than scores Of
those who have not touched 1t with q lit
tie finger. San Antonio will derive more
direct benefit from this northwest ex-
tension than from any road now running
into the city. Each added mile will en-
large the volume OF her trade and open
to q fuller settlement the productive
lands along the line. San Antonio Is
certainly open to congratulation on hav-
ing secured this northwest extension
her new opera house, and the sppro-
priation for q government building In
one year. A few more months and
Lott will publish the bans iron bands)
OF marriage between this city and Kerr
vile and there will be no objection to
the ceremony as the parties are agreed
and no one can lawfully forbid the
bans.

San Antonio's Latest Enterprise.

We invite the attention of our citizens
and especially that Of the business men
Of San Antonio and the surrounding
country to new and valuable enter
prise that has recently been established
in this city.
This establishment Ia virtually
branch Of the celebrated Consolidated
Time Lock Company and Maeneale &
Urban's Safe Works Of Cincinnati, I'M
der the management OF Mr.. ii. M. Dali
ton, the son of the inventor of the
Dalton Dual Time Lock and Dalton Per-
mutation lock, locks which took the
highest prize awarded (the gold medal)
at the International Inventors exhibit
ton, London, England, 1885, against all
other devices OF the kind, and which
are supplanting and removing all other
time and combination locks throughout
the country, because Of their superior
merits and valuable advantages.
We enquired the meaning Of non-lock
out, and was informed how other time
locks by stOppage Of their movements
occasioned a locking Of safe doors that
necessitated their being broken open
and loss OF many hours ere the bank
could get at its money, securities, notes,
etc., 1t was also demonstrated practical
ly (by creating stoppage Of the time
movement) how this lockout could
never occur with the Dalton device; but
further than this, not only does this lock
provide against accident to Its watch
mechanism; but 1t prevents q lockout
even II the combination lock should fail
in its action. 1t certainly is a most per-
feet piece Of mechanical ingenuity, and
the Dalton Formulation lock is not far
behind the time-lock and presents points
Of superiority over all other timers.
Maeneale & Urbsn's factory being one
Of the largest and most fully equipped
safe works In the world, Of course make
class Of work second to none, and in
many respects superior to that of other
makers. Theirs are the only eight fiange
safes made in the world, and contains
the patent hinge cap, inside iron Innings
and solid angle corners, besides many
other points Of value detailed ut seine
length to us by Mr.. Dalton.

must either be idiotic or possessed of
supreme gall. He was noticed peddling

patriots at prices considerably under

police, and 1t was soen found that he
could afford to do SO, as the cigarettes
were stolen from several saloons In the
