Another Street viii Do.

A strong protest from citizens will
be presented to the. city council
against the granting Of the rightof-
way for the proposed new street rail-
way along avenue d. This Is the only
good street in the city leading out to
Government Hill and the Sunset de-
pot and is a fine drive for carriages
and other traffic. 1t would be q pity
to ruin such fine street, and the rail-
way is not needed on that street as
the avenue G car line is only one block
away and answers all the purposes
for the residents of that part of the
city. A line running further east
would do much better, say on Austin
or some other street.

A Reverend Weather Prophet.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, December 12.-Rev.
Ira R. Hicks, of this city, who has re-
ceived considerable fame as weather
prophet, predicts there will be severe
storms and the coolest weather of the
season within forty-eight hours, and
that the period of the regular annual
winter solstice storms, between the
18th and 25th instant, will hurry the
time of the disturbance. He also looks
for storm of exceptional intensity, a
blizzard, perhaps. on the End and 3rd
of January.

Bunch Likely to be Heard From.

Bunch Likely to be Heard From.
NEW ORLEANS, La, December r.
Notwithstanding all the efforts made
to capture him, and the large reward
offered, Eugene Bunch, the notorious
train robber is now definitely known
to be in the vicinity Of this city, and is
liable to be heard from atany moment.
The result is that trains of the North
eastern and Mississippi Valley roads,
commence carrying armed guards,
and all train employees are supplied
with Winchester rifles, to be used in
case of another attack. The roman
tic bandit who has been a lawyer,
editor and school teacher, had the
bravado the other day to ride over the
Northeastern road at point where he
robbed the express manager of SIS, 900
a few weeks ago, and no one ventur-
ed to modest him. He has q great
many friends in a portion of the coun-
try men toned and they offer him every
assistance in eluding the officers of
the law. Bunch, so the police say,
was last week in this city and within a
mile of the city, and spent money
with some of his friends very freely,
but local officers did not care to tackle
him and the crowd he had at his
back.

The New Grand Scribe.

Col. Peter G. Rucker, Grand
Patriarch 1. o. o. F., Texas, has re-
turned from visit to Houston to in
vestigate the affairs of the late Grand
Scribe, l.. F. De Lesdernier, who COM
mitted suicide in Florida i'm state of
temporary insanity. AS far as the
examination was made it appears that
the accounts of the order were salts
factory. Grand Patriarch Rucker has
since appointed Henry A. Linn, Of
Raymond's bank, Austin, to be Grand
Scribe for the unexplred term of the
officer. Mr.. Linn has filed first-class
bond and has taken charge of his
office

Caught.

In Saturdays LIGHT an account of
the insults received by two young la
dies, the Misses Emma and Annie
Conrad, received at the hands of two
men and two women while they were
sitting i'm the dress circle of the opera
house with their little brother, was
given. Mr.. Conrad, their father, and
their two brothers ferreted out the
guilty parties, and Constable Rafael
Martinez has arrested one of the men
and the names of the other man and
the two women are known and they
will be arrested. The man arrested is
John Coffee, u switchman in the yards
of the A ransas Pass railway, and he
was taken before Justice McAllister
this morning and ident titled by the
young ladies and was found guilty
and fined SIS and costs for disturbing
the peace. The amount foots up to
$3.50 for the fellow. Justice McAlli
ter would have fined Coffee more than
this, but it was proven that he was
the least implicated in the matter, be-
ing caught in bad company and being
only passive actor in the matter.
The officer arresting him, however,
had long chase after him. He found
him at TESTS saloon, on South Flores
street, and chased him around
through Cevallos street to South La
redo street before he halted him.
The others, when arrested, will be
dealt with quite severely. The case
is an aggravated one. The young
ladies are ladies in every sense of the
word and were attending strictly to
the play and did not provoke the in
suit in any way.
1t is the opinion of great many
citizens that the Arkansas Pass railway
company cannot afford to employ men
of this character and the master of
transportation will probably be asked
to discharge him.

In the Wrong Place.

A very good Catholic and her two

voutly crossed herself, and her daugh-

when the litter of those around them
showed the mistake and they stopped
short in their religious exercise.

Their Business Booming.

Probably no one thing has caused such a
general revival OF trade at Dreiss, Thompson

trade is simply enormous in this very valuable
