PARIS, March 16.-The journal (offi-
ciaD publishes a decree depriving Gen.
Boulanger of his command for breach of
discipline, in visiting Paris three times
without permission. The Journal says
that General Boulapger came to Paris
on February oath, and again on March
End, and again on March 10th, without
permission from the war office. The last
two times, it says, he was In
disguise, wearing dark speotacles and
affecting lameness. The paper dwells
on the serious nature Of such breaches
of discipline by a general officer, and de :
clares that the order placing Boulsnger
on the non-aotive list, by depriving him
OF his command. has already been ap-
proved by the President Carnot. Bou-
LANCER telegrsphs that he will arrive in
Paris tonight. Excited crowds are
awaiting him at the depot.

That Blood.

The secret Is out. Walter Peasants

ting q nuisance in leaving that large
pool Of blood on Fourth street bridge
and did not say anything about 1t for u
week or two. But DR.. MeDger exam
ined it and reported that 1t might be

friends, MIR. Glenn Cotton, has volun-
TERED the information that the blood
was that of q valuable horse which was
ridden from BOerne in three hours BY q
brute of q negro, and at night in CROSS
ing this bridge dropped from exhaus-
ton. A veterinary was sent for and
bled the horse and revived it sufficiently
to get 1t to MIR. Peasants, its owner,

The Santa Fe Boys are Tired.

KANSAS CITY, March 16.-The strike
situation on the Santa Fe road is IN
changed this morning, not a wheel is
turning except a few switch engines.
The engineers and firemen persist in
saying they have received no orders to
strike; that they are simply "tired" and
want to rest. No trains have been moved
in any direction. The officials refuse to
receive freight Of any kind. The Union
depot presents q regular Castle Garden
appearance, as hundreds Of emigrants
have been brought in, whose destination
was somewhere on the line of the Santa
Fe. Two hundred of them are crowded
into the emigrant room. All trains on
the Gulf system, and on the Missouri ri
Pacific are moving promptly on time
and the engineers say positively that
there will be no trouble on the Missouri
Pacific but claim TO know nothing re-
garding the Gulf.

Took His Wife for Fireman.

KANSAS CITY, March 16.-At 1l:26, Ben
johnson, foreman OF the A. +. and S. Fe
round house, at Argentine, backed an
engine up to the Union depot and cou-
pied II on to train No. 3, which is a
through California express. Ben Whar-
ton, who has been an engineer on the
Santa Fe for ten years, mounted the en-
CINE. He is not Brotherhood
man, having been expelled from
the organization during the great
strike of 1887. He has since
applied for admission, but has been re.
jected. Shortly after Wharton had
donneG his overhauls a sensation was
created in the crowd by the appearance
of his wife, who pushed her way through
to the engine and was assisted 10
seat by her husband. She de-
as fireman on the trip, and
covered her clothing with rubber
ulster while fireman's cap sat jauntily
on her black hair. Promptly, in re-
spouse to the conductors signal, at 1l:36
the train started and proceeded slowly
on its way. Not a cheer or
sound of any kind greeted it as
it passed along, and it could have been
mistaken for funeral train. Every
car was packed with passengers, as the
train carried those who had tickets for
No. 3, which was due to leave at 11:15.
Just before the train start d paper was
handed to Wharton, offering to paw him
double wages and all expenses in the
city.

DEPLORABLE CASE.
Dying i'm Poverty and SQualor-.
Somebody's Mother.

Dying in Poverty and Squalor--
Somebody's Mother.
The people south Of M ason and Dixon's
liue, boast with some show of truth and
pride of the absence of abjcct poverty in
their midst. Bnt as is often the case
the world over, there are exceptions to
this over-weening pride that can not be
Wanted. and q case in point has been re-
ported 10 the LIGHT, not, however, by
the county physician, who has called
but by the kind and charitable
ladies of this city, some of
whom have found out the case and have
been faithfully attending the same, re-
CARELESS of weather, time or other con.
ditions.
The case is that of poor woman, the
mother of several small children, and
who lives in dirty hut In dirtier lit
tie alley back of the Lutheran church,
and which opens on Presa street. The
mother is too poor to buy the necessaries
of life for her children, and is too Ill
with consumption to be able to labor for
hers and their spstenance. In fact, 1t is
the belief Of those who have seen her,
that she cannot survive more than a
few days more. She Is, In fact,
a county patient, and If able to stand
the long three mile ride "over the hill
to the poorhouse," should be taken
there. but in its advanced stages the dis
ease has taken such a hold that such a
rough ride would be the immediate
death of her. Her physician says she
can not enter the city hospital, as 1t is
against the rule and hence she has to lay
and die, attended only by the few ladies
who have the true Christian love and
spirit In their hearts. Other assistance
would not be refused and our kindly dis
posed citizens should come to her aid,
as the officials of this municipality seem
to ignore it.
The city authorities prompted by q
great sense of charity and little regard
to duty, should investigate this deplor-
able case.

issued to the wool growers OF western
Texas:
OFFICE OF THE SAN ANTONIO
Wool AND CorToN EXCHANGE.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, March Is, 1883.
To the Wool Growers of Western Texas:
Recognizing that the wool interests of
this section are intimately related to
the interests of San Antonio and are
therefore entitled to our best attention;
recognizing also that oOnctr ted action
on our part is essential to attain the OBJ
jects in view; the merchants of this city
have formed an organization known as:
"THE SAN ANTONIO WOOL AND COTTON
EXCHANGE"
The object Of this organization 10 to
furnish wool growers and merchants
handling this staple increased facilities
for handling, storing and marketing
woods; 10 offer them such inducements
and accommodations as their best in
terests demand. so that San Antonio
may retain it's title of being the leading
wool market in Texas. We propose to
furnish ample warehouse facilities at
reasonable charges and to obtain for
shippers the privilege OF dispOsing Of
their woods, either In this market or Of
reshipping TO eastern markets, at
through rates OF freight from point of
first shipment; thus giving them the
choice Of other markets. We will make
advances to the wool growers and msr-
chants at as low rate OF interest and ON
as liberal terms as any other city in the
state.
Having for years past handled your
woods TO our mutual advantage, we shall
strive In the future, BY increased efforts,
partly outlined in the foregoing, to
merit your continued confidence and
trust that the intimate business and per-
sOnal relations existing between us may
be strengthened in the years to come
and that you will cheerfully join hands
with us to make San Antonio what ma
ture destined her to be: 1.-The CONNER
cial Metropolis OF Western Texas"
Yours Respectfully.

Strange, But True,

The other night Mr.. III. A. Blair, the
druggist on East Commerce street, re-
tired to rest about ten o'clock and then
turned of the electric light. About an
hour afterwards he had occasion to go
into the store and the light was then
out. About three O'Clock suspicious
noise was heard in the store, and being
under the impression that burglars were
there. Mr.. Blair went into the store,
previously armlDg himself with two
pistols, doubtless intending to make
ghosts of the depredators, and was then
surprised to find the light burning
brightly, but the globe was broken in
two places. evidently by the electricity.
The same kind of accident occurred at
JOske's and nearly OCoasioned fire, but
in that case the light was left burning.

Looking Further to 1t.

In reference to the alleged county
bribery case alluded to in the last issue
OF the Gossip, it is stated that there are
several witnesses willing to give testi-
mony before the grand jury who, for
prudential reasons, will not talk other
wise, and that there is probability that
the case will be siFred by the grand Jury
in order that it may be seen whaf, If
any, truth there is, in the charges made,
or rather inferred in the Gossip.

and fewer navigable waters, more Ia
borers and less labor, and more gold
and less money, more COWS and less but

A MILKY SOPORlFlC.
The Mysterious Manner in Which
the Family Milk Supply Was
Thoroughly Chloro-
formal.

Thoroughly Chloro-
formed.
There is one young married man in
this town who Is now afraid to eat, at
least at home In the bosom Of his fam
lily, and has for some time past taken
his meals down town at restaurant.
Being only married the short space of
two years, and having lovely little
wife, it Is painful to him to even medi-
tate on the turn Of affairs-his domestic
affairs-have taken, and whilo 1t Ia not
the province this paper, or the press,
to give the subject In all it's details. 1t ie
just as well to state that the usual
mistake has been made that
great many young married peo-
pie make: they do not lean one upon
the other and give and take forgiveness
and overlook each the others little
faults, temperaments and idiOsyncra-
cies. An open quarrel followed and the
husband. rather than bicker, quit the
house. Yesterday he was called upon At
showed him a small quantity of milk
which she stated was the morning milk
and which she and her sister had used
in their coffee at noon and nearly burned
the lining of their mouths with. They
had used the milk in the morning with
no apparent effect, but at noon the milk
was found as aforesaid. No one had en-
tered the house or been in 1t except the
two ladies, and there the mystery rests.
ChlOroform was kept in the house for
medicinal purposes, but whether this
WAS the identical quantity used or not,
is not learned.
The gentleman thinks the affair was q
little ruse OF bis young bride TO awaken
his sympathy and bring him home
again, and 1t should succeed, but she
should never try the same dangerous
experiment again, as chlorotOrm is dan
gerous agent to tamper with.

The Cause.

The cause Of the many delays in the
arrival Of the I. & q. N. trains in this
city, is stated by the road officials to be
due to the bad condition of the track
in the BLACK waxy lands, between
Taylor and Alvarado. Texas. Not hav-
ing had rains in that section for two
years, until abont two months ago and
then having almost GO days continuous
rain. the ground has become SO spengy
under the track that there is scarcely
any bottom to it. The road officials are
now putting in fifty cars of rock per day
and are trying to find bottom and bal
last the road, and when that is accom-
plished. there will be no more delays.
The rolling stock and power of the road
is in fine condition, and this is the only
hindrance to making o. t. schedule.
