ANTONIO. TEXAS. FRIDAY, o.
Off Sandy Hook.

New YORK, August 1O.-The
steamer City of New York, was
boarded five miles off Sandy Hook
while at anchor, waiting for high
tide, to cross the bar, by the repre-
sentatives of the press who learned
that the voyage was a pleasant I'M
eventful one, and that Mr.. Blaine was
well and has not suffered from sea-
excellent health, and that his trip had
renewed his youth. The steamboat
Carin has just pissed up the North
river, with James G. Blame aboard.
The steamer City of New York is close
behind, and is handsomely decorated
with flags. The tugs of the harbor are
blowing salutes.

No More Twain But One Flesh.

Mr.. John Francis, of the Excelsior
Guards, and Miss Celia Perkins were
united in marriage last night at the
residence of the bride, on Starr street,
the Rev. DIR. Starnes officiating. The
bride was nicely attired in cream silk
with orange blossoms. The groom ap-
peared in full dress suit. The occa-
sion was made interesting by the APP
pearance of Capt. :. Turner and the
Excelsior Guards in fatigue uniform.
John has been a member of the
Guards quite while, but made his
biggest victory last night. His exam
pie will likely be followed by his COM
rades, judging from the mashes they
are making in that portion of the
town. Much luck. Johnnie.

WAS SHE CRAZY?
A Laughing Little Loiterer. Sup

~ Aeee''''S ~'NS'S O's>' ~ - oSS
posed Lunatic.
A jury in the county court yester-
day afternoon passed upon the condi-
ton of mind in which Maud Hamilton,
poor looking little woman with very
bright eyes, was found last Saturday
and on Wednesday by Policeman
Frank Brown. He testified that he
saw her first on the streets, and
noticed that she was laughing inn
moderately. The serious officer tried
to discover the cause, but could not,
and on asking her why she laughed,
she said that she was laughing at
fellow who was mo goOd.n He left
her, and the next time he saw her
was a few days afterward, when she
was found in Krempkau's saloon,
merry as ever. She was arrested
and put in the bat cave in the same
cell with lot of negro prostitutes.
She gave her name as Maud Hamil-
ton, and told the iailer she was from
Austin, and that the officers there had
paid her fare and put her on the San
Antonio train. During the night she
became violent and nearly frightened
the negro women into fits. They all
began giving the most unearthly
bowls, and Maud was then placed
in an upper cell in solitary
confinement. Here she declared
she saw snakes coming out
of the floor and began pouring
water on the floor from big bucket.
This soon leaked through and gave
the negresses probably the first and
only bath they will ever be guilty of.
The water was taken away, and then
she rolled up her bedding into
bundle and sat upon it all night. In
the morning she would not get off the
bundle, saying she had a fellow
wrapped up in there and was holding
him down so he could not get out.
During the trial in court her demean-
or was not violent or demonstrative,
except in the matter of laughing.
She caught sight of Mr.. Juan
Barrerra and began laughing so
heartily that Juan made his escape
from the room. She was told by
Judge Wurzbach: "They say you
are crazy; are you?" She replied:
We'll can't help that, if am"
After a few moments deliberation,
the jury decided that she was of un-
sound mind, and in few days, it is
probable she will be sent to the
state asylum at Austin.

RAILROADS MUST HELP.

The work of the Southwestern I'M
migration society is largely accom-
plished, so far as that work can be
without railway cooperation. The ad-
vertising of southwest Texas is as yet
most imperfectly done, it is true, and
this mainly owing to the fact that SO
many counties have failed to pay in
the assessment levied upon them in
the pro rata adopted at the organiza-
ton Of the association in the conven-
ton held here last spring; but, some
advertising has been done, and en-
quiries are being constantly made of
the secretary, L. NJ. Gregory, for IN
formation. Particularly is the enquiry
made concerning rates of railway
transportation, and so far no satisfac-
tory arrangement has been made.
What is needed is a "prospectOr's
ticket" not an excursion rateo for an
excursion coming into the state once
every two or three months, but low
rate for prospectors who desire to
come into Texas and see for them
selves the quality of the lands and
the nature of the investments that Of
fer. 1t is certainly for the interest of
the railways to make such rate I'M
less they are so directly interested in
lands in other sections that they do
Int 70
Texas to be settled up in their power
to avoid it. The enquiries being con-
stantly made by mail from all Sec
lions of the country concerning low
rail rate into Texas for those
who come to see that they may
purchase, is the thing most needed of
all others to give success and result to
the work of the immigration society,
with headquarters in this city. The
attention of the press of southwest
Texas is directed to this matter with
the earnest request OH the part of the
immigration society that they will
give earnest and constant voice to this
necessity for low rates of transporta-
ton to parties desiring of coming into
southwest Texas with view to pur-
chase lands and make their homes
here. The opening up of the unoccu1
pied farming and mineral lands of
southwest and west Texas will re-
turn great revenue to the roads of
Texas, and by a hearty cooperation
on their part such rates could readily
be secured over the great trunk lines
as would enable prospectors to come
to Texas, make their enquiries in
person, judge for themselves of the
outlook and so form opinions intelli-
gently. Unless this work is done the
Service of the immigration society
will becut short just where it is on the
Bve of practical and tangible re-
suits. The LIGHT has been repeatedly
Importuned to call attention to this
natter and urge upon the press and
people, upon the capitalists and local
Railways, the necessity of interesting
themselves in securing from the great
brunk lines such low rates of fare into
Texas as will allow men of moderate
means to visit the state in person and
pee for themselves the lands upon
which they seem now so strongly in
blined to settle.

turning home from work that night, found

at once given, but no trace of the murderer
