The excursionists yesterday had q
royal good time OF it. The Alamo city
was on her good behavior and showed
as fine q specimen of winter climate as
can be found on this continent under
any circumstances. The praises be-
slowed upon this city were not stinted.

The United States senate by vote

her senators being secured against this
measure OF relief TO the widow OF so
valuable public servant as was Gener-

more work the state immigration COM

the door OF it's clerkship just where the

KAFFEE kLATSCH.
A Very Pleasant and Successful En-

A Very Pleasant and Successful En-
tertaInment at st. Marks.
The deanery OF st. Marks was very
lively place last evening from O'Clock
until 10. The ladies were there In force,
and where the ladies' are there Will the
"Oroadcloths" be gathered together.
The occasion Of the gathering was a
genel II Invitation to "Kaffee Klatseh,"
which drew q very generous party OF
San An onio's beat TO the cheerful par
lors and ,.brary Of the deanery. There
seemed to se some uncertainty as to the
derivation fthe term, a learned profess
sor and a literary lady OF no mean gifts
being equally divided In opinion as to
whether 1t was "Volapuk" or pure
Greek. The name, however, did not de-
tract from the success OF the social party
either In Its uninterrupted fervor OF con-
versation or In Its financial returns.
Mrs. Mary A. Maverick presided over
the vestibule and with an attendant well
coined the guests aud Ieceived their Con-
tributions to the funds OF the aid So
ciety Of the church. Old age and youth,
beauty In all Its diversified forms, musi-
cal talent and talents Of every descrip-
ton, including high art and pure
elocution, contributed their quota
to the enjoyment OF the hour.
Dean Richardson, as usual, was
kindly attentive to the comfort and
pleasure OF the guests, and did the hon
ors OF presentation to the bishop, with
dignity and grace all his own. The
bishop was naturally the center OF at
traction to the hundred or more who
thronged the rooms, but beauty always
holds Its own In any court, and there
were numerous pairs OF bright eyes that
held their own charmed circle, and so
the company WAS pleasantly broken into
groups. There was no Formally, no
stiltedness, few wall flowers, smiles on
every face, no end of ringing laughter
loving tones, some sweet music, n de-
lightful recitation by Miss Jessie Bell,
and last, but by no means least, $40 so
to the credit OF the church funds, not to-
mention the uncomputed worth OF the
real pleasure enjoyed by one hundred

last evenings entertainment. TO emu

The financial success OF the informal
gathering Ia one OF its pleasant features.
The coffee and cake were delicious, all
the more SO that they unloosed the
tongues OF the takers and were made
the occasion Of an acceptable addition
to the church funds, which, judging
from the Still unfinished condition OF the
deanery, are not as flush as would be

Following a Clue.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. H.-Early in
December the train on the st. Louis,
Iron Mountain and Texas railway near
Geneoa, Ark, was robbed. The case
was put into the hands OF detectives,
and by following a clue afforded by the
finding OF slleker. man by the name
Of Brook was arrested, he having pur-
chased waterproof from q
Waco, Texas, dealer. On being
confronted and recognized by the engi-
neer of the train Brook was induced
to peach on his confederates, and
located them In the North Alabama
mountains, giving the names OF Reuben
and James Burrows. They resided In
q stronghold about twenty miles from
Vernon, Ala, but being surrounded by
vigilant allies they got warning and on
the approach Of the detectives, fled from
their home, and although pursued by
shots from Winchester rifles succeeded
In escaping under cover of early
dawn. As further pursuit among the
moonshiners Of that section was useless,
the detectives left tue vicinity. The
chief of police, Of Montgomery, Ala, on
Sunday last arrested the much wanted
men, but when nearing the police sta
ton, they made a desperate resistance
and broke away from the officers. One
was captured again and proved to be,
beyond any doubt, James Burrows
The other brother was chased
some distance and only escaped
by shooting Il citizen who attempted
