Motion for New Trial.

The attorney for defendant in the
Childers murder trial have moved
for a new trial and filed the follow
ing:
~. The court erred in overruling
defendants motion for continuance
in this cause, filed December 16,
1889.
2. The verdict of the jury is con-
trary to the law and the evidence.
5. The verdict of the jury is con-
trarv to, and in violation of the charge
of the court.
4. The court erred in its charge
to the jury in defining murder in the
second degree, manslaughter and the
law of selfdefense as applied to this
cause.
5. The charge of the court was
contrary to the law and inapplicable
to the evidence in this cause.
6. The jury and each of its con-
stituent members were prejudiced
against the defendant, and had
formed and expressed an opinion re
lative to the guilt or innocence of this
defendant, and that would and that
did influence their verdict.
And, for many other good and suf-
ficient reasons.
Defendant will file an amendment
to this motion, elaborative of the
causes herein set forth and additional
thereto"
No opinion can be now given as to
the action that judge Noonan will
take in this case. 1t may be put
down as sertain that the case will
not be ended until every resource
of the courts has been exhausted.

GRAND OPERA.

AS Exposed by the Emma ABBOTT
Opera Company

tions at the opera house for matinee

Emma Abbott is a favorite here, has

for she is conscientious and painstak.
ing in her work and efforts to give
San Antonians the full value of their
money. Abbott herself is more arts.
tic than ever before, and shows that
she has studied very hard to improve
herself. Her company all have bet
ter voices than of yore, even the old
favorites, Michalina, Broderick, AL
len, Pruette, and Montegriffo, showing
much improvement. Miss AMMAN
dale always could sing, but sings,:.if
possibl better than ever. The effects
OF time are less noticeable upon her
than ever, and she appears younger
and prettier than ever. A new star,
under the patronage of Miss Abbott,
is rising. In the charming Myra
Mirella is q voice of rare sweetness,
scope and promise. She is young,
but has had good tutors and has
studied hard. She is pretty, viva
cious and has not the "big
head" common to some successful
stars. Her song at matinee, 81
dreamed dwelt." etc. was
pleasing. "Bohem-
ian Girl" was the opera and Mirella,
Annandale, Broderick, Allen and
Ready were in the cast. "Il Trova-
tore" was given at night, and every
seat, box and bit of standing room
was sold. Abbott was accorded an
ovation when she came forth to make
her mistaken choice of lovers in the
garden serenade. Montegriffo assum-
ed the title role and sang his tenor
part splendidly. Annandale sang
and acted we'll the part of the Gypsy
while BrOderick made an
deal jealous count. Miss Abbott IS
'LeOnora" delighted or auditors and
received many encores. The choruses
were strong, the opera was well cos
tumed and staged and the grouping
and cOlOrs were effective.
Tonight the opera "Ernani" will be
given. Miss Abbott has all of Bern
hardt's business" for this opera, has
the richest of warm Spanish costumes
and colors and gives the opera with
great care. 1t will be a masterpiece.

The Brok en- Columns Replaced.

The new Federal building has been
the object of considerable criticism in
consequence of the development OF
serious cracks and breaks in the col
umns on the west side. These col
umns gave way entirely and to the
casual observer seemed to imperiI
the solidity of the building. The con-
tractors, Braden & Andrews, were re-
quired TO replace these broken col
umns and the con tract was let TO
the firm of Zeven d Altman. mar
BILE workmen. MIR. Zeven person.
ally undertook the work and
with mallet and chisel cut
the columns out. The support
ing brick work back of the stone was
found to be of superior character and
entirely adequate to support the
walls. The columns have been re-
placed and the building looks sub
stantial and complete.
The detective columns were due to
the character of the stone and not to
any fault of the builders. The stoL @
is inferior to that used in other large
buildings in the city. 1t was Sc
lected by the department at Wash
lngton, and these contractors are in
no wise responsible for its selection,
In fact they offered to put in Burnett
granite columns which would have
added greatly to the beauty of the
building but were required to use the
NIGH quarry rock throughout, this
particular stone will not stand a high
pressure and it is astonishing that il
should have been selected for so inn
portant public building. Since the
walls have been completed the stone
from easement to turret has developed
thousands of cracks.
Braden and Anderson will soon BIZ
through with their contract and ex-
pect TO turn over the building to the
government within the next two
weeks. The interior finish is now
progressing rapidly. Mr.. Sacre, the
experience workman, sent here bv
the Washington authorities is now
in charge Of the building.

A Sadly Afflicted Journalist.

William Ernest Henly, editor of
SCOTS Observer, Is one of the men
who have had literary greatness thrust
upon them, and he has paid fearful
physical price for his mental develop
ment. He began life as laborer, un-
conscious of Latent intellectual power,
IMMERSED ma the primary elements of
education, and man of dissipated
habits. He met with a terrible acct
dent, both lower limbs being crushed
beneath a boulder, and while at the
hospital for treatment met Robert
Louis Stevenson, who was also a pa
tlent at the institution.
Then commenced the mental exist
ence which has led him from the
stages of newspaper correspondent, art
editor, and magazine contributor to
the rank of poet. HIS limbs are still
completely paralyzed, and he does all
his work in an invalid chair, out Of
which towers his massive blonde head,
set on a magnificent pair of shoulders.
His conversation is brilliant, and he
counts his friends among the cIeverest
and most brilliant literary men of Lon
don

NATURAL GAS.
By ozIAs M1DsUMMER.


1he mistress and Marthy were taking doxe;
The master was sleeping out under tree,
When Sarah AIMS Amos was bit by flea
That was looking about for q place where he
Could be boring for natural gas.
The flea struck vein that caused Amos to
spout,
It drew twenty-one of his corpuscIes out;
Then tried Sarah Ann for mite of dessert,
But carefully so the supply not to hurt
So lit on the mouth of the dear little firt,
On the seat of her natural gas.
It punctured the surface it stuck in its drill,
But drew it out quickly, but lot at it's will;
For the well was gusher, and blew 1t in haste
From the hole it had dug in the powder and
PASTE
1t got more than it wanted, more than a taste
OF Miss Sarah AIMS natural gas
The gas which escaped was a talk in a dream,
And had for its subject it's object and theme
The kisses OF divers and sundry young men
Which Sarah AIMS lips had kissed now and
them
And seemed to lament that her Amos had been
Slow in drilling for natural gas.
The JOY of the maiden beamed bright as she
spake,
She thought that the hole which the little flea
bored
Was kiss of her lover, her modest young lord
She thought that at least she had got Amos
hoored;
moment sly Amos regretted the day
The gas inclined insect had jumped in their way,
And then all his bashful declinings eschewed,
His lips to her lips he cemented and glued,
He fondled the beauty her tiny ear chewed
He was boring for natural gas
