Held Crim,nally Liable.

PITTsBURG, October 9.-Superin-
tendent J. B. Starr, of the Fort Wayne
road, was arrested yesterday, charged
with being criminally liable for the
death of Miss Harriet Weyman, killed
in a collision at Federal street cross
idg one year ago. Suit was brought
by the commonwealth under the
state law, making manager
or employer criminally responsible
for the death of a person in disaster
where proper precautions to prevent
the accident had not been taken. Su-
perintendent Starr waived hearing,
and furnished $1,000 bail for trial at
court. Engineer A. B. Martin, who
had charge of the locomotive at the
time of the accident, was also arrested
and gave bail in the same sum for
court.

Jack Frost's Compliments,

England and France, as we'll as
sections of our own north, have al
ready been visited with snow storms,
and all weather prophets predict
very cold winter. Blankets and COM
fortables will be early inquired after,
and Wolfson, with his usual fore
thought, has provided them. In
blankets he shows the largest and
choicest assortment ever brought to-
the southwest; and in comforts is
equally we'll stocked. Don't think of
going cold and shivering in bed when
you can sleep as snug as a bug in a
rug under VOL sons blankets. He
has them at pieces that cannot be
duplicated, from cents up to dollars. 2t

Wolfson's Commitments,

To the ladies of San Antonio, in
forming them that as the regular
opening day was showery, rendering
it unpleasant for them to visit his es-
tablishment, he will continue to hold
himself in readiness to show them
through his departments until all
have had an opportunity of inspect
ing his stock, particularly his dress
goods and millinery. His floors were
crowded all day yesterday and
customers were so intent on
buying that it was impossible to pay
as much attention to visitors as was
desired, but all personal attention,
consistent with necessary regard for
the wants of purchasers, will be
shown the ladies by Mr.. Wolfson,
who earnestly requests the presence
and inspection of his present stock
which is in every respect superior to
anything he has ever before shown in
this city. 10-9-2t

MARY'S LITTLE LAMB AND FREE
WOOL.

FROM THE SPRINGFIELD UNIoN.l
Mary had little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow,
And built little tariff pen
To keep it safe, you know.
But Rogar Mills, he came along,
An ugly boy was he,
And smashed the little tariff pen
To let the lamb go free.
And in the night an English wolf.
AS silent as a clam,
Came providing round the broken pen
And killed the little lamb.
Then Mary wept, but hopeful said,
"I'll have free wool, at least ~
"And so you shall" said Roger Mills;
So said the ugly beast.
But when she went to get the fleece,
The wolf was sitting on it,
"Come," said he, land get your wool;
I've fixed my price upon it,"
So Mary traded with the wolf,
And roundly did she pay;
For that dear fleece she fed the beast
A twelvemonth and day.

Pioneers,

The little steamer of the F. F. Col
Inns Manufacturing Company, that
goes placidly to and fro on the San
Antonio river, may perhaps be the
pioneer of big canal river system of
great local and internal advantage,
even as Mr.. F. F. Collins was the
small pioneer of big organization
that is destined to revolutionize Texas,
and to rectify climatic errors. Since
Mr.. Collins advent in this city, his
water system and the Eclipse wind
mill has made such radical changes
in ranching and farming that men no
longer fear the perilous drought. Pro-
vided with that system, men can have
ample water supply for irrigation and
cattle, although it necessitates an out
lay of cash, it brings rich dividend
on the investment. That is the rea-
son why the system ispopular and its
adoption ever increasing.

Why Wolfson Does Not Quote Prices

Wolfson advertises most literally
and in an infinite variety of ways, but
he never quotes prices, because it is
misleading. He does not desire to
be classed with those who advertise
special drives at prices below i'm
porters' prices, and then, when such
goods are called for, inform customers
that the run on that class of goods
has been so great that none are left.
Mr.. Wolfson has been all over that
ground and knows all about it. 1t IS
only dodge to rope in customers,
hoping to sell them something else at
a high figure. WolfsOn's goods are
offered at lower prices than can be
found in the state outside of his house.
He makes no variations from those
prices. Every day figures are lowest
fiugres with him, and all who come
to his counters are treated alike.
Carrying the largest stock in the
state; buying always in unbroken
packages for cash; he secures the
lowest prices and sells as he buys.
He advertises no drives to deceive,
but will give you lower figures than
you can get elsewhere, and only asks
a comparison of prices to demonstrate
that fact. He has the largest stock
of goods he has ever offered and is
going to sell it. Those who buy of
him will get bargains every day. ct
ALL delegates elected to the repub-
lican state convention held at Fort
Worth, April "a, 1886, in so far as the
tenth congressional district is con-
cerned were elected to the congresion-
al convention as well. This conven-
ton is called to meet in this city next
Saturday and all who are properly
members thereof should take due no.
tice Of the fact and govern themselves
accordingly. Due n"tice will be given
of the place in which the meeting will
be held.
THE first regular meeting of the
Texas State Forestry Society is to
be held in Dallas on the Goth instant.
This makes new department for
Texas and most commendable one.
The area of forrest land in Texas is
greater than in any other state of the
American union and some interest
should be taken in the preservation of
so valuable part of the public do
main. 1t is to be hoped that a full
representation of those interested in
forest preservation and forestry in
general will be present on the day
above mentioned. Out of that meet
ing should grow something of definite
good to Texas.
