of each was severely questioned.

tended this morning with eager listeners
to the elevatIng q evidence given in
against the unfOrtunates there ar
raigned.
The war correspondent of the Ex-

mind by penetrating historical rO-
mances and "reminiscences. They are
good, Chawles.

Miss Anna +. Westervelt, the niece
of the Misses Westcott, who died yester-
day, was a most interesting young lady,
and her death will cause her many
friends in San Antonio and abroad a sad
shock. The remains were Inferred this
morning at 10 O'Clock.
Decoration day is approaching. Let
proper arrangements be made for its
celebration, for there's nothing more
beautiful in the customs OF civilized
nations than this manner of expressing
appreciation of the herOism and virtues
of departed heroes.
The lucky winners in the raffes at
Turner hall last night were Geo. Lock
mar. clock; Miss Withers, toilet set;
John Hickman. toilet set; Miss Ximenes,
scarf; J. Campbell, pistol; Joe Dryer,

to take place during the meeting of the
Texas Press ASSOCIATION here. One of

There are still some beautiful alliga-
tor marshes in the vicinity of Jackson
and Elmira streets. They are quite we'll
preserved, and with the beautiful green
scum that has formed over them, make
a most aesthetic abiding place for the
little frogs that coral forth their joyous
notes of pleasure at every eventide.
Three Mexican women, vendors Of
canary birds. fingered on the sidewalk
in the rear of Dulling's store until or
dered away, this morning. They were
so poorly clad that one might read their
Utmost thoughts through their apparel,
and many were the dudes who almost
ran into the iron railing while gazing
upon them.
Remember, the Mayor, has called
meeting OF the citizens at the court
house ON Saturday night to look after
the entertainment of the Press associa-
ton. Texas editors are spunky indi-
viduals, and if San Antonio doesn't en-
terrain them properly, the advertising
she gets from their meeting here won't
avail her much.
MIR. George H. Millington. of Milling
ton, Tenn, arrived in the city last eve
ming to see his brother, MIR. Ed. Milling
ton, who was dangerously wounded in
the leg in a riot at Murphyville on the
18th ult. Mr.. MillingtOn could not reach
here before amputation took place,
which was necessary to save life, owing
to delay caused by wash-outs in the
railroads. Mr.. Millingten is greatly re-
lieved to find his brother doing well.
