A collection was taken up to paw ex-
penses and some other business transacted
The Chair then put the question on the
adoption of thereport ofthe committee. Not
much attention was paid to it, and, to the
great amusement of the opposi' ion, only
nine or ten voted aye, while chorus of
nays was voted The motion to adopt was
clearly lost, when the Chair again put the
motion. and it was emphatically adopted
amid the laughter of the opposition. Gin
ton L. White announced that the caucus
virtually killed the primary and took its
place, and he would not be bound by the
procedure. The caucus then adjourned.
The fight was over the candidacy Of Messrs.
Rock, Murray and Ryan for Trustee. AS
chosen, the ticket was believed to be strong
Tor Mr.. Rock. Later in the evening four
teen of the nominees were found to be for
Mr.. Murray, and induced that gentleman
to make a stand at the primary to-day. SO
that it is probable there will be a regular
and an opposition ticket in the field.

luctant voters over to the Huntoon side
and one leading White promoter vas forci-
bly, kept on the opposite side. The major
ity was clear for Huntoon, and it was
so announced, but it was impossible
to say how the vote stood as be-
tween genuine Fourth Ward Repub-
liams, so inextricably mixed were they
with First, Second and Third Warders.
But from the subsequent proceedings, it is
for Huntoon. Elwood Bruner was unani-
mously chosen Secretary. NJ. A. Howard
moved that the Chair name q committee of
seven to select and report thirty-eight per-
sons to be voted for at the primary as dele
gates to the convention of Thursday next
Clinton l.. White objected. He thanked
the friends who had voted for him. He
had been beaten, thanks to the efforts of
the volunteers from the First, Second and
Third Wards. But he respected the Chair
man and asked him to see that there was
fair play. To have the Chair name the
committee would look like cut and dried
job, and not rebound to his credit. 1t
would be better to let the house choose the
committee. He moved to amend to ell ect

NJ. A. Howard and others addressed the
caucus. There was confusion and protest
ing, and finally after an attempt to vote
viva yoce, division by separation was had,
and the amendment lost. Numbers of the
defeated shouted for their friends to leave
the hall. and some did During this con-
fusion, it is said the Chair named the CON-
mittee; but so far as the bulk of the audi

Grand OpeninR.

Sim Hart is a daisy, and "dOn't you
forget it," This is a chestnut, we
know, but Sim sells the bell that goes
with it, and If you can't ring, get one
from Sim and ring IL when we fire
this at you. Sim began business SIX
wears ago in a little store opposite the
Menger. He had no capital, but ne
had plenty of cheek and business enter
prise and he knew what strength there
was in printers ink and he used II 10
tell the people what he had to sell and
how he sold 1t. He has since rose to
the enviable position as the chief toDac-
conist of San Antonio, and now supplies
the smokers of 40, 600 population, besides
sending out large shipments OF his goods
to the surrounding towns and country.
His two places of business on Com
merce street are now in full go. One is
located up town, at Commerce street
bridge, and is regular bOu-
doir Of a cigar store. The other
is located down town, at No. PSI Com
merce street, next to the Kampmann
building, and the grand opening OF TINS
one took place this morning at III
O'Clock. A large crowd Of Sims trlends
attended the opening and partooK OF
fine glass of claret punch with him. All
day customers tnronged the spacious
store, buying and examining the fine
stock of Imported Key West and Ha-
vana cigars, leading brands OF clga-
rettes, smoking and chewing tobacco,
pipes, cigar and cigarette holders, and
the thousand little niCk-knacks and late
novelties Sim always has on hand. HIS
perfumed tooth-picks could not be sup
piled fast enough for the demand, on
account OF the Mikado opera tonight
and Mcintyre & Heath's Ministries Sun
day night, the box-sheets OF which are
now open at this store, If you go to
these entertainments take tOoth-pick
and you need not fear that any faint OF
refreshments between acts will remain
after you take your seat by your girl.
The elegant finishing, wall paper and
ceiling is the work of Il. II. Russell, while
the silver foil OrnamentatiOn is the work
of Mr.. Albert Lasteree, Mr.. Harris efii-
cicnt clerk. A look at the store should
be taken by every one.

THE LOVERS FLED.
Mamma Got Mad-They Went Home
and are En- Route for Happiness.

Mamma Got Mad-They Went Home
and are En- Route for Happiness.
At Floresyille, in the Lodi district,
lives pretty Mexican girl named Joa-
quina Leaf. JOaQuina 10 very young it
is true, only IA years of age, but she has
learned the lesson that cupid can alone
teach. She came to the conclusion that
Salvador Talamentes was the only man
that could fill the aching void in her
youthful heart. They were both awfully
love-sick, and were certain that hymen
was the only physician who could cure
them. On Wednesday last, Salvador quiz
city interviewed the county clerk,
blushed and stammered an explanation
that he wanted a marriage license for
himself and Joaquina. Unfortunately
for the loves, the clerk knew Joaquina,
and, worse STILL he knew she was under
age and declined to give license with
out mamma consent. This was awk
ward, because mamma did not know
anything about the matter, and If they
told her, they were quite sure that
she would prevent the matrimonial
contamination of their love. The lovers
talked long and anxiOusly together and
returned to their separate homes. That
night Joaquina was very sick and her
mother advised her to see doctor. She
left home for that purpose but the only
doctor she saw Was Salvador, and he at
once cured her complaint. Joaquina did
not go home that night, but went with
Salvador to the house of a trusty friend,
and early in the morning drove out to an
adjacent depot where they caught the
Arkansas Pass train and came on TO San
Antonio. In the meantime the mother
missed her daughter, heard the facts of
the case, got mad, and had warrant is
sued for Salvador, and his friends con-
ceived in what the law calls an abduc-
ton. A friend communicated the intel
ligence to Salvador and his inamorata
and they returned home. The old lady
then found out that it is too late to carry
on her opposition and wisely has given
consent to the marriage, which will
shortly take place. In the meantime the
lovers are happy in that sweet com
muniOn of souls that creates
1.-Two beings with single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one,"
Here let us leave them. By and by
they can have the discussion as to which
is the one.

Caught a Tartar in Petticoats.

Deputy Constable Krempkau went out
Yesterday ia his usual good humOr, to
seize some household effects under a
writ OF sequestration, and had no dream
that his scalp was in imminent danger
OF being scratched off his head. Mrs.
Killing. the owner, or claimant of the
sequestrated furniture, was small,
squatty and dumpy woman, not at all
ferociOus looking, nor formidable in her
appearance. but she turned out to be all
hornet meat, and flew at the constable
like hungry office seeker after an Of
flee. In less than the twinkling OF an
eye, she had riddled and torn OIL the
consta ble's shirt, and considerably de-
moralized him, but he finally caught her
by the wrists and held her until she
came to her senses. Mrs. Killing says
she had no idea that Krempkau was an
officer, executing legal process; but
that she imagined he was an able bodied
tramp out on a rampage, and about to
strip her house of its furniture, but her
excuse is very attenuated and lonesome.

pension, and this effort has been
successful, az papers were received here
yesterday from Commissioner Black
notifying the proper persons that the
claim of Jester has at last been allowed,
and certificate for $1,000 back pay
has been forwarded to Mrs. .Mulligan, of
i. Chicago, and the blind veteran will now
