Thew Didn't Meet.

There was no meeting of the Harri
son and Morton club OH Saturday
night. The secretary (pro tenn was at
his post, there were at 9 o'clock three
colored men in the hall, and the cele-
brated republican committee of ten
was also there, not as part of the
meeting, but as mighty" republican
factors in the coming county election.
The president was conspicuous by his
absence, and it is presumed that for
once in his life he got too much water
(rain.) All the other officers were alb
sent. AS there was no prospect of
meeting, the intending participants
retired in disgust.
The LIGHT is not pleased with the
management or rather mismanage-
ment of the club, and ON all hands are
heard complaints from members. All
are of an opinion that if the club
means business, it should be conduct
ed in a business-like way, and this
play-at-work-ki nd-of-business should
cease

Baby Carried Off by an Eagle.

WICHITA, Kansas, September "a
The baby of farmer, VIM. Beattie,
who lives on Cinnamon river, north of
the Territory line, was carried off by
an eagle Saturday. Beattie went to
work in the morning, leaving in his
dug-out his two children, one five
years old and u baby aged two
months. A bout noon Beattie re-
turned home and found his girl in
tears. She said she had taken the
baby into the yard and left it while.
She went into the house. In a few
minutes she heard cry, and on look
ing out, saw the baby flying away. as
she expressed it. Her father knew at
once that an eagle had visited his
home, and summoned his neighbors
to the wooded banks of the river for
which the eagle had made. In
about an hour the sound of
a shot summoned the searchers
togetl or. One of the men had found
the eagle, and was engaged in dead
ly conflict with it. He had emptied
his gun at the big bird and broken II
wing, and was using his gun as a club
when reinforcement arrived, and the
eagle huttered in the bushes, then the
father saw his infants dead body
horribly laceraJed, and part gone.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
This Temple of Amusement Now on
its Third Season.-"The
Bandit King"

ms ! emple OF amusement W." OH
it's Third Season.-"The
Bandit King"
Sunday night for an opening of a
Grand opera house in such a strictly
religious community as San Antonio,
is thing unheard of in its history,
and last night was an innovation that
was predicted by some people to
prove a mistake. The doors were
promptly opened at 7:30 o'clock, how
ever and the gas lighted, including
the handsome street lamp erected in
front of the house. Willard Simpson
and w. p. ROte were in the box office,
and soon the people began coming in.
In they streamed until the ticket SELL
ers had more than they could do, and
still they kept coming. Promptly on
time the curtain went up and
every seat in the house was
by this time occupied. From that
time on until the close of the six act
drama of the Bandit King the
house laughed and grew still by
turns. 1t is safe to say that every
body in the house laughed from the
crowded gods in the gallery, who
were somewhat noisy, to the intel
lectual and fashionable parquet, at
the grotesque, though very realistic
acting of Burt Clark, as kansas
Jake" the fighter, the drollery of
Blake, as A. Breezy Gush, the In
diana editor, or the piquant soubrette
work of Miss Oracle Fox, as "Sarah

in "A Mountain Pink" "M'Liss,"

nance and fire into his quad
ripple impersonation, and the audi
ence was evidently satisfied. The
play is of the blood and thunder kind,
of course. Everybody knew that be-
fore they stepped into the house, but
all were amused. and what more is
wanted? Mr.. Wallick has a good sup
port, and can show, too, quite as well
trained horses as did the professional
Snowman, Prof. Bristol.
Tonight the performance of the
Bandit King will be repeated, and
tomorrow night Mr.. Wallick will close

cry appointment was perfect. The ush-
ers did not get ratified, the lights were
plentiful and bright enough to read
ones programme, the orchestra played
sweet music and the stage settings
and scene shiftings all o. k. The or
chestra music was as follows:
Bohemian Girl, selection ID. Mueller
Espanola serenade. ........M etra

Wreck of a Famous Vessel.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-News has
reached Gloucester by the schooner
Flying Scud," just from a fishing
cruise on the coast of Labrador, that
the famous old clipper ship, "Dread-
naught," is one of the vessels wrecked
on the coast of New Foundland. This
celebrated vessel was build in 1858,
and the following..year on she first re-
turn trip from Liverpool, she beat the
Cunard steamer Canada into Boston.
Five years later she made the phe-
nominal run offs, 900 miles from Sandy
Hook, to Rocklight, Liverpool, i'll 10
days, eight hours. In 1862 the ship
accomplished the feat in sailing, that
still stands without parallel, going
from Sandyhook to Queenstown, 2760
miles, in 8 days, II hours. For a long
time this trip was the only topic in
sailing circles. Pictures of the ship,
and of Captain Samuels, Of the yacht
Henrietta fame, were printed until
Photograph stones were worn out.

A Clever Feat of Surgery.

CHICAGO, September 24.-Officer
John H. Weinke underwent an opera
ton yesterday, to obtain relief from an
injury received in the Haymarket riot,
May 4th, 1886. Immediately after the
bomb exploded a pistol ball struck
Weinke in the back of his head, and
lodged under the skull. At the hOspi-
tai the physicians deemed the
removal of the ball not necessary
to his complete recovery, and it
was allowed to remain. At
intervals since, it has troubled him
greatly, sometimes causing him most
intense pain for weeks. Yesterday
afternoon Drs. Henrokin and Hollis
onas operated for the removal Of the
bullet, which was found completely
covered with bony growth. The bull
let had been fiattened into shape re-
sembling horses hOof.
