Matters in Committee.

ST. LOUIS, June ct was within a
quarter of an hour of 10 o'clock, the
time set for the convention, before the
committee on platform got together for
their session of today. The sub-cOm-
mittee Of II, which had been in confer
ence long after midnight, reported it's
inability to reach any conclusions and
the committee as whole seemed prac-
tically where they began when they
started. The question confronting the
members was whether to refer the
matter again to the subcommittee or
fight it out themselves in committee
of the whole, or relegate the whole
subject to the action of the convention
1t was freely predicted in the CORR
doris outside the committee room that
the latter course would be the upshot
and the convention would have to deal
with a majority and minority report.

A jolly Picnic.

When a number of young people
start out to have romping, jolly time
of it in the woods, it makes little diff
ference if the party is large or small.
The eXuberance of their spirits COM
pensates, often for lack of numbers,
and such was the case yesterday with
one group of fifteen ladies and gentle
men who camped for day in the
shade of Riverside park. A jolly time
was spent in playing games, eating,
drinking lemonade, ice water, etc,
and in trying to fish, but those who
tried it became lost from the party
and could scarcely find their way
back through the wilderness. Among
those present were Mr.. and Mrs. M.
Slayer. Misses Adele, Josephine and
Lizzie Maureaux, Emily Weiss, Addie
Epson, Minnie Lerich, Lannie Alex
ander, Lille Smith, Stella Foreman,
and Messrs. Gwinn, Green, Childers,
Slack, Turner, MaureauX, and others.
A return to the city was made after
supper, about $50 o'clock.

Will You, CAPTAIN?

The chief of the police should call
the attention of his policemen to the
way the negro loafers obstruct the
sidewalks on West Commerce street,
in front of and next door to Zins-
meyers saloon. Great bucks sit on
chairs on the sidewalk and stretch
their legs half across the walk, and
refuse to give way for white folks,
either ladies or gentlemen. A police
man might find it quite interesting to
patrol this entire block more frequent
ly at night.

Oregon Republicans.

PORTLAND, Oregon, June 6.-The
count is proceeding slowly, and re-
turns are still coming in fragmentary,
with several counties yet to hear from
Multinamaha county, including Port
land returns, are nearly complete.
These give Herman, (republican), for
Congress 1900. This will give him
over 1000 republican majority. Lord,
Rep.) candidate of judge of the su-
preme court, has majority nearly as
large as Hermann's. From the pres
ent indications, the republicans will
have IS in the legislature, and the
democrats 25. Every republican state
senator insOregon is probably elected.

Only SIS a Year.
PropcSely Misleading.

The very correct las usuaD reporter
on the Express throws another mis-
take of its own upon the evening
papers, of which the LIGHT is one.
1t says "the evening papers were
wrong in stating that engine No. 1
arrived at the fire Sunday night first,
No. 2's horses having baked" What
the LIGHT said last Monday was the
truth and just the opposite, that No.
2 arrived first, the horses of No. hav-
ing banked. The Express either does
not know how to read plain English,
or else is purposely misleading the
public as to the evening papers, and
this is not the first time this has been
attempted.

Judgment Sustained,

The following judgments in local
cases will be of interest to the legal
profession and the public in general:
Mary A. Maverick VS.. F. Florez ct
al.-Appeal from Bexar.
Appellant claimed the land under
execution sale, and offered in evidence
the judgment and order of sale, and
the execution docket subsequently af-
firmed the sherifFs deed. Objection
was sustained on the ground that it
did not appear that execution was is
sued upon the judgment within one
year from its date. Held, error. A
sale under an execution issued under
a dormant judgment is not void but
only vOidable and at the instance of
the defendant in execution. (Baggess
VS.. Howard, 40 Tex. 15S; 20 Tex. 225;
Freeman on Elk. %, 3O). Reversed
and remanded. Opinion by Walker,
j.
Amalia Schmidtke ct al. VS.. John
A. Miller-Appeal from Bexar.
Scire facias to revive Judgment
lies in the court where the Judgment
was rendered regardless of the resi-
dence of the defendants. So Tex,
474.
The petition alleged that the de-
ceased left estates which came into
possession of his heirs, but no allega-
ton appears that there was no admin
istration nor necessity tor it. The
judgment sought to be revived was
simply a money judgment, and the
allegations donOt show proper cause
for citing the heirs.
There is no evidence that the de-
ceased left any assets at his death.
Without inheriting assets no liability
rests upon the heirs for the debt of the
ancestor. [62 Tex, $50; IS Tex, 472.
Reversed and remanded. Opinion by
Walker. J.

viii Try Again,

At their meeting last night the
members of the Powder Hill Gun club
presented their secretary and treas
urer, A. Dittmar, with handsome
gold writing pen in recognition of his
efficient services as secretary.
This club admits their defeat on
Sunday by the Lone Star Gun club,
but claims, and with good grounds,
too, that it did some creditab1e shoot
ing. 1t will again challenge the vic
tors in about month and expect that
victory will enwreath their guns in
well earned laurels.

Theatre Nearly Destroyed.

New YORK, June Ga bout half
past six o'clock this morning, a fire
broke out in Tony PASTORS theatre, in
East 14th street; as the flames gained
rapid Roadway, three alarms were
sent out. The theatre is in Tammany
hall building, and adjOins the
Academy of Music, which at one time
was seriously threatened by the
flames. By dint Of hard work, how
ever, the firemen succeeded in pre-
venting this, and at S:45 a. m. the fire
was under control.

A. J. kissing the printer, nor is he in

Within the Hall.

ST. LOUIS, June 6.-The convention
gathers tardly this morning, owing
probably to protracted meeting of
the platform committee last night,
and its further conference at o'clock
today. The national committee and
the committee having in charge the
seating arrangements of the hall
are evidently gallant people, for
the ladies are first to get into the
building, and are comfortably settled
in boxes and balconies, before half
thousand men can be seen in the
auditorium. A roughly made paint
ing of Thurman, as he looked 10 years
ago, was taken from California
headquarters, and has been con-
spicuously hung up to help the
red bandannas boom the old Roman
into Vice-Presidentia place on the
ticket. Among the early arrivals at
the hall is delegation of women who
are here to insist upon the incOrpOra-
ton of a plank in favor of the womans
rights in the platform. These ladies
look much fresher than the men,
bers of the platform committee with
whom they had a protracted discus
sion last night, but without convinc-
ing the committee. A number of
newspaper men like the wise virgins,
have come prepared anticipating de-
bate upon the tariff plank of the plat
form committee report. They have
brought lunches with them and are
fortified for siege. AS the delegates
come in, there is a good deal of talk
about the efforts to be made by silver
men to have their views reflected in
the platform, and as to the chances of
some of their representatives
getting the floor and partici-
pating in the discussion upon
this rather delicate question. In the
early hours of morning while the con-
vention is gathering but single red
bandanna can be seen in the hall, and
that hangs listlessly from one of the
boxes occupied by the Women Suffra-
gists. But thousands of pockets are
bullying out with Thurman banners
ready to be thrown to the convention
breeze at the proper moment.
The Gray men still hold on to their
gray hats and the gray muslin ban
ners hang on to the end of
their canes and umbrellas. There
is no cheering as on yesterday
as delegates file in as on first day.
Ohio and New York delegates are par
ticularly tardy and there are ground
less rumOrs in consequence that there
is a hitch in the Thurman pro-
gramme which included second
after his nomination by Tarpey of
California by General Powell of Ohio.
First applause of morning is evoked
by the appearance of Thurman's ban
dana placed upon banner pole of
Wisconsin delegation. At this mo-
ment temporary chairman White
appears upon the stage and consults
with Chairman Barnum of the nation
al committee.
A resolution signed by large num-
Der of prominent democrats was pre-
sented, declaring that the perpetual
cry of the republicans demands the
enforcement of the Monroe doctrine in
its length and breadth. That territorial
ACKNOWLEDGMENT by foreign powers in
America should be discouraged and
discountenanced by every means in
the power of the United States gov
eminent.

Houston appears to be rushing the
mourners as the most murderous city

in her records of violence during the
past two years and having established
her reputation should be content to re-
pose on her laurels. Austin has given
up the race, and Fort Worth has
quietly dropped to the rear.

Charles DENLY, of Indiana, now
minister to China. Above is new
portrait Of this distinguished gentle
man. 1t is universally conceded that
"Cleveland and DENLY" New York
and Indiana, would be strong COM
binatiOn.
Mr.. DENLY is Virginian by birth.
He was born in the year 1880. His ed
ucation included three years at George
town College, in the District of Column
bia. After leaving that institution he
entered theVirginia Military Institute,
where he was graduated in 1850. In
1853 he went to Evansville, and enter
ed an Office as student of law, at the
same time editing democratic news
paper published in that city. He was
elected to the Indiana Legislature in
1856. Two years after he married a
daughter of United StatesSenatOrFitch
of that State. President Buchanan APP
pointed him Surveyor of the Port of
Evansville, an office which he held
three years. He was removed by
President Lincoln, in the year 1861.
When Fort Sumpter fell he raised a
military company in support of the
Union cause, and performed local SER
vice until September, 1861, when he
was appointed Northumberland of
the FOrty-secOnd Indiana Volunteers.
He was wounded at the battle of Per-
ryville where he had his horse killed
under him. His promotion to be col
onel Of the Eightieth Regiment of In
diana Volunteers followed soon after
that event. In February, 1868, he re-
signed his commission on account of
physical disability.
Returning to Evansville he opened
an office for the practice of his pro-
fession which he followed until he
went to China. In 1876, and again in
1884, he was delegate at large to the
democratic conventions held in those
years. In 1884 he favored the nominal
ton of ex-senator Mcdonald for the
presidency, but supported Mr.. Cleve-
land when this became impossible,
and worked for the democratic ticket
very efficiently during the campaign.
THE San Angelo journals are not in
love with the Acknowledgements
icy Of Ballinger in the matter of rail-
way extension. The Standard says:
"Ballinger's futile attempt to harass
the San Angelo railroad committee
and prevent, if possible, the extension
of the Santa Fe, indicates the small
ness of some of the people that inhabit
that village, and explains why the
place wears shroud. That kind of
spirit freezes the blood in the arteries
of trade, and is the most effective way
of town committing suicide that can
be thought of. Americans admire
those who meet enterprise with enter
prise, and have nothing but contempt
for those who seek to kill progress
from behind with club"
There are more ways than one of
killing a dog besides choking him
with butter, and more than one way of
killing off public enterprise besides
hitting it with club from the rear.
If San Angelo will come to San Anto-
MO the LIGHT will guarantee to show
several methods of numbering pro-
gress, all in a well preserved condi-
ton, kept cool and fresh on ice and
warranted good in any Texas climate.
