WEDNESDAY, JANUARY, a, 1888.
POINT TO THE PANHANDLE.


The meeting of the joint committee,
held In the directors rooms Of the Texas
National bank yesterday, resulted In
call for mass meeting to be held at the
court house at O'Clock tomorrow after
noon. This meeting will be most i'm
portsnt one, as two matters OF vital i'm
portsnee to San Antonio and all south
west and western Texas are involved.
The first Is the proposed railway extern
zion into the Panhandle and concerning
which the LIGHT few days ago gave q
very clear and lucid statement In Its To-
cal columns. This city is asked to do a
comparatively small thing, Judged by
the benefits which will naturally follow.
The projectors of this rosd-which will
San Antonio than 1t Is to Dallas; and,
which, when extended to Denver,
will bring that city 324 miles nearer the
gulf via San Antonio and Arkansas Pass,
than 1t is via Fort Worth and Calves
ton-offer 1t to this city for a subscrip-
ton of 500, 900 in real estate, not one
rod OF which is to be decided until the
road is built, end the first train OF cars
has passed over the road from the Pan
handle to this city. The increase In the
value Of real property in San Antonio,
consequent upon the entrance OF this
road in this city will not be less than
one million of dollars the first year, snd
only ten per cent OF this sum ia asked as
our bonus towards securing 1t. Mass
meetings In San Antonio have too often
been allowed to go by default.
This one should be well at
tended. Every citizen in San
Antonio is interested in making
this connection with the panhandle,
and should be interested in seeing that
his presence and influence is not denied
the mass meeting called for the court
house tomorrow afternoon.
The question, also, of convention OF
southwestern Texas delegates to con-
slider the best means of developing the
luNSicete VI tulb bcCllOu, DC M huJ uuCL "
the stHte immigration convention, will
come before that mass meeting, and
this is q matter in which San Antonio is
most deeply Interested.
The interest manifested in the citl-
zens' committee and in the board of
trade Is constantly developing, and all
that Ia necessary is that this interest
should extend to our people In general.
Let the score or two OF live, wide-aw&ke
business men who are giving character
aud impetus to these movements
for the upbuilding of this city be
encouraged and strengthened on tomor-
row afternoon by a full attendance at
the court house. DR.. Kulp. who Is here
in the interests OF this road, specially
desires full attendance Of the citizeni
that he may lay before them his project
and get their answer before returning to
the Panhandle. Tomorrow afternoon al
o'clock is the day and date. The com
mittees will be there, the originator o.
this most important railway project will
be there. Let the citizens themselves be
there.

Immediately under the guns Of the
large garrison at Fort Smelling, directly
underneath sleeping Waterman, and
within few feet of the beat of patrol
ling sentinel, there was. perpetrated
yesterday morning one of the most dar-
ing and successful burglaries ever
known in the history of the Northwest.
The victim of the burglary is Victor
Robinson, post-trader and United States
postmaster at the fort, and who occu-
pies the Observation-Disclosures frame
building located at the west end
of the high bridge spanning the MissIs-
sippi river at that point. On entering
the store in the morning the sight that
met the proprietor'S eyes was a most
disheartening one. Goods, books and
papers were strewn about the room, the
heavy safe door lay in the middle OF the
/ floor, and every portable article In the
place of particular value was missing.
From the safe the burglars secured
about $50 of the traders money, SlOO
of government funds and stamps to the
value of about $50. Registered letter
packages and other papers of unknown
value were taken, which will probably
raise the amount OF
BOOTY SECURED TO sSOO.
The entrance ito the building was
gained through window III the rear,
and the indications are that the safe
door was removed by meaus Of dyna-
mite cartridge inserted through an
opening made with a steel drill, and
that goods were piled about the safe to
muffie the sound of the explosion. The
robbery is supposed to have taken
place about O'clock in the morning, as
the sentinels on duty heard all unusual
explosion about that time, bu, could
not locate the report, and concluded that
it came from the east side of the river.

but heard no unusual sounds. He was
awakened by the explosion, but was
very sleepy and thought little about it,
believing it to he the sunrise gun reg
uiarly fired at the fort.
The job was evidently the work OF
professional crooks, and causes great
excitement among the police authori-
ties, who are working every clue Of
fpred to detect the marauderS. Speaking
of the matter a leading st. Paul detect
i've said: lit was the most daring
burglary of the kind | ever heard of.
The very thought of the use of dyna-
mite under these conditions would not
even be considered by one professional
craftsman in q hundred.
