The German emperor is not the only
potentate who has recently approached
close to the border of the shadow land
and whose physical condition is at present
by means assuring of long life. King
Louis of Portugal and Dom Pedro, en-
peror of Brazil, are both reported in crit
zeal condition and expected to die at any
time. Whatever may bel the issue of
their present ailments, or the distinction
that may attach to the names Of the first
two mentioned among their own people,
the act of the latter in liberating six hun
dred thousand slaves a short time ago
will fix his name upon the roster of the

Fly fishing for salmon near Bangor, in
Maine, is now the sport of the time. The
fish are coming in from the ocean in
large numbers, and several hundred
pounds day are being caught with flies.
This no doubt affords the Bangorites
heaps of fun, but they haven't all the
angling sport to themselves by any
means. This is one of the finest seasons
for angle worms in this section that has
been known for years, while the crop of
sun perch, goggle-eye and channel cat Is
the best and hvliest ever known. And

A VIrago's Raying.

CHICAGO, July 1S.-Mrs. Albert B.
Parsons, wife of one of the executed
anarchists, was seen last night by a
reporter. She was told of the arrests,
and asked if she knew anything about
the matter. She became highly ex-
cited, and stated that if was any con-
spiracy it had been gotten up by the
police. They have not murdered any
anarchists since November last, and
they are thirsting for more blood. II
don't belive there was a conspiracy,
only in the devilish imagination of
Bonfield and his millions" She grew
more excited as she went on, and
finally said, ''if Grinnell and Gould
Were not killed very soon 1 will kill
them myself, and you can rest as
sured I will not make bones of
it." pointing to her 10 year old son,
she con dnued, "what do you suppose
am raising him for, I shall teach
him that his father was murdered and
by whom, and those red handed
butchers had better look out"

BILOXI, Miss, July 1S.-In order to
correct any false impression that may
exist in regard to the Norwegian bark,
Magnolia, now lying in quarantine,
and reported to have yellow fever on
board, a corresp ondent has thorough

cola, about 40 days ago, with a clean
bill of health. A few days after leaving
Rio Janeiro; the captain and four men
died of yellow fever, and were buried
at sea. No further sickness has de-
veloped since the death of the captain
and the four men over month ago.
All vessels arriving from infected

THE REUNION.
Shall it "FIzzle." or be a Success.

Shall it "FIzzle." or be a Success.
Communicated.
The long spoken of reunion of the ex-
Federal and Confederate Veterns will
prove an utter failure judging from
outlooks, as they present themselves
to the unprejudiced observer. The
writer has taken pains to get the
opinions of men who have an under
standing in matters of providing for
large bodies of men. Camp arrange
ments and entertainments ON large
scale, and it is the unanimous opinion
that the sum of 81 800 is entirely I'M
sufficient to cover the expenses of
such an undertaking if the same shall
be gotten in a style which would be q
credit to the citizens of San Antonio
and the people of southwestern Texas.
The citizens of San Antonio seem to
take SO little interest in the whole
matter, that the discOuraging effect
shows itself even on the regular APP
pointed committees of whom hardly
any attend to the calls, and in fact
the matter stands today where it
stood months ago, with the exception
probably that $500 are in sight, but,
as stated, an insufficient amount to
cover the necessary expenses from the
estimates of gentlemen who have ex-
perience in matters of this kind. The
serious questions arise now, will
there be reunion at all? If so, will
it prove success? Can San Antonio
and Western Texas afford to make
failure of this thing? If the FORM
er question is answered in the affir-
native, and the latter in the mega
tive then how could it be worked?
The only possible solution can come
from the people. If the people
are Indifferent, it is better to let the
whole matter go by default, otherwise
the people must take energetic steps
to secure success, and this can only
be done, if the parties in whose hands
the arrangements is laid can rest con-
fident that in case of shortage of funds
the whole people will stand by them
in the emergency. For this purpose q
mass meeting of the people should be
called and there decide whether or
not the reunion is possibility or not.
If from the interest shown in this
mass meeting by large attendance
and its willingness to assist in the
way of raising funds, subject only to
be collected if need be, it will decide
If the reunion is possibility with
chance of success, or the con trary, in
the latter event it should be dropped at
once and the minds of the few ardent
workers in that direction should be
relieved from constant strain of ex-
element, in which they necessarily
have been thrown for some time past,
and another place should be given the
opportunity whose people to show an
interest in public enterprises of this
kind

GreenWall in New York,

Theatre Manager Greenwall, of Tex
as, was in some trouble recently in
New York, with Mr.. LIE Grand White,
over the transferring of date with
Billy Florence. Greenwall gave his
note for 5000 in payment, and White,
fearing that he would leave town
without paying, gave the note to
German deputy sheriff for collection.
The deputy went to Greenwalls
rooms and took his diamond ring and
a watch from him while he was in the
bath and held them until he settled
with Whites lawyers fer SIPS. Green
wall is mad, White is nervous, and
the case may result in an affidavit
against the officer for theft.

DRUGGED AND DEBAUcHED.
A Pretty Young German Girl Is the
Victim Of a Soldier and
Female Accomplish.

About three months ago a pretty
German girl named Frederick, said to
be about Is years of age, came to this
city from Austin, and was employed
as servant at boarding house on
Nacogdoches street. During her SER
vice there her conduct, as far as can
be learned, was satisfactory, and she
left for good reasons. Then she sought
employment in the house of Houston
street business man, who resides near
the reservoir. He saw she was pretty,
thought she was fond of pleasure, and
said, 'I'm afraid my place won't
suit you. 1 live good way out
of town and there isn't much
chance of your getting out" II don't
care for that" answered the girl, "all
want is a good home" The girl
was engaged, and everything was
satisfactory until two or three Sun
days ago, when according to accounts,
she was the victim of a most dast-
ardly outrage. The girl left home
about 2 o'clock and walked from her
employees house to the place where
the cars start on Government hill.
In so doing, she passed the residence
of a Mrs. Thompson, who keeps a
house of questionable resort, but of
which she was ignorant. Mrs.
Thompson spoke to the girl, she an
swered her, they chatted for while,
and then the girl asked for glass of
water. She was then persuaded to
enter the house, and there she was in
troduced to soldier named Roberts.
Beer was proposed. Mrs. Thompson
gave the soldier 25 cents. He went to
Chris. Mueller's for the beer and they
all partook of it. Whether the girls
portion was drugged or not is not
known, but she sOlemnly asserts that
after drinking the beer she does not
remember anything until next morn
ing when she found herself in bed
with the soldier. And there
is no doubt that she was
debauched. There are several
who aver that the girl was seen in the
bedroom in a drunken or drugged
state, attired onlyin chemise, sitting
upon the soldiers knee, and both
were acting in an indecent manner.
OF course the employer missed the
girl, but as it rained very hard upon
that day he concluded that she had
stayed with her old employers at
Nacogdoches st. Nothing further was
heard of the girl until Monday night,
when he saw her waiting near Chris.
Mueller's and took her home. The oc-
currence was reported to her employ
er, and the facts as related were then
discovered.
Since then the girl has returned to
Austin, where it is understood her !
bethrothed resides, and is now living
there.
The police are investigating this
matter and are satisfied that she was
drugged and debauched, and efforts |
are being made to get the girl here in
order that the debaucher and his &C
completes may be dealt with accord
ing to law, for the offence is nothing
less than rape and the punishment
death, but the girl is anxious to
avoid publicity and does not
want to prosecute. 1t is said that
an affidavit of rape will be made
against the parties, and the girl forced
to attend here as an attached witness.
In any case, the matter will be re-
fefred TO the GRAND iurv for action
