TWO MUSIC MERCHANTS.
Their Respective Views as TO the

Their Respective Views as to the
City They Earn Their Bread in.
Here is an item clipped from the
Galveston News of August 81:
mike Goggan, who attends to the
business at San Antonio for Goggan
Brothers, is in the city and is in his
usual good health. Mike does not
take much interest in water as gen.
eral rule, either deep or shallow, but
he gives it as his off-hand opinion that
deep water at Arkansas Pass is snare
and delusion."
Now hear what Mr.. ,CheesmaDr
another music dealer of san Antonio,
has to say:
Galveston has no natural advan-
tages in her favor, but she has the
money to secure deep water. 1 am in
favor of Arkansas Pass for deep water
of course. / have lived on the coast
of Texas for twenty-five years and
ought to know something of the
merits of both places. Arkansas Pass
has all the natural advantages. l.
have lived at Galveston, Matagorda
and Indianola, and have boated all
along the Texas coast and know it
thoroughly. / hope San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass will gain the victory III
the Denver convention"

THE BRAkEMEN,
They Can Dance as Well as Twist
Brake Wheel.

Brake wheel.
The members of the state order OF
the Brotherhood of Railway Brake
men met at Muth's beautiful garden
with their lady friends and enjoyed a
sociable ball in company with a great
many citizens of San Antonio and
their ladies. Dancing was continued
until $50 o'clock this morning. The
music was contributed by Prof. Muth's
orchestra; a "cullud gemman" did
the prompting in very ordinary way.
The weather was COOL and after the
grand march, Grand Master Wilkin-
son addressed the audience in a plain,
straightforward manner, thanking the
city of San Antonio for the cordial re-
ceptions they always give the Brake
men, and assuring us Of the lasting
friendship of the order. He spoke at
some length on the three cardinal
principles of their order, and put the
members almost on the prohibition
side of the question. He ended with
a fine tribute to the ladies, mothers,
sisters, wives and sweethearts.
The regular order of dancing was
then begun and all passed a pleasant
evening.

A Young CannibaI.

Jonathan Bowman, a well known
mechanic in this city, sent his son to
The Southern hotel this morning to
collect bill. The clerk was absent
for few moments and while waiting
for his return the boy went to the ice
cooler to get drink of water; Israel
MCGEE. one of the colored boy en-
ployes around the house, objected to
this and beat the boy, who went home
and told his father. He returned with
the boy to the hotel to enquire into
the matter. Seeing MCGEE, Bowman
spoke sharply to him and asked what
he meant by hitting his son, when
MCGEE sprang at him and hit him
severely under the left breast. A
fight then ensued and the police ar
rested both combatants who will APP
pear before the recorder Monday
morning.

After Two Months S.
New York TT bune.

New York TT bune.
Gen. Harrison in every respect is q
stronger candidate today than he was
when nominated two months ago. His
record as gallant soldier in the field,
distinguished leader of the In
diana bar and sagacious legislator
with an honorable and useful career
in the United States senate is without
flaw, crease or wrinkle. The demo
cratic press has had leisure to scruti-
nize his speeches and public acts, and
to ascertain whether he had ever
done or said anything which could be
used against him in presidential
canvass. Feeble attempts to convict
him of inconsistency in his record on
the Chinese question, of hostility to
the interests of workmen during the
labor riots of 1877, and of contemptu-
Gus disregard of the principles of civil
service reform have been abandoned
as soon as made. Defamation has re-
coiled at once upon the defamers, and
only served to prove that Gen Harri-
sons reputation is invulnerable-
Eight weeks have passed and our
friends, the enemy have nothing to
say against him.

A Little Fact.

Contrary to the Express, the great
90" strike of brakemen is still as
powerful as ever, even after a six
months hold-out. 1t is not failure,
and the strike has damaged the 20"
road nearly S5,O00,0O0 worth, and the
road is now negotiating big loan in
Boston. The stock has been reduced
from l.3S to la par. The brak emen
have resolved to keep it up and only
one man of the 5000 strikers has
turned traitor. Contributions are
pouring in to the strikers from every
brotherhood lodge in the United
States and Canada.

How she DIED.

Miss Lizzie Quinn was the one who
died in Palestine, Tex, last July, in
stead of Annie Quinn, who is now the
wife of Mr.. NJ. McDermott. A letter
from Palestine, dated August 80, says:
"On the 22d Of July last, a physi-
clan of this city was summoned to see
Maud Rodgers, whom it was after
wards learned had assumed the name.
Her real name was Lizzie Quinn. She
was unconscious and died in thirty
hours. The cause of death was con-
pestiye fever of cerebral form.
