Two of Mr.. Barnum's Stories.
From the Boston Herald.

Mr.. Barnum's breezy conversation
was interspersed at frequent intervals
with witty anecdote and quaint say
ings. He spoke of an old lady who
was so deaf that, when some playful
chaps fred a small cannon near the
old lady's door, she merely said ''come

Seeing" the City,-Are Well
Pleased, and Make Many
Friends.
Yesterday afternoon the ladies of
the Sisterhood of Mercy, now visiting
in this city, were shown the Missions,
as of peculiar interest to them,
in being the monuments of the pio-
neers of their church in Texas in the
first bloody days of her history, when
those sacred walls now crumbling,
were necessarily as much of fortifi-
cation against the stealthy Indian, as
a bulwark and refuge for the soul.
The Mother Superior and the Sisters
were accompanied by the Misses Fair
fax and Macready, who are enjoying
the tour of the west under their guar
dianship. The former, charming
young lady of about IS years, is the
assistant of her father, the editor and
proprietor of the New Orleans Daily
City Item. Mother Mary Austin
Carrolle is native of Ireland but has
lived in the south many years, lead
ing spirit in the Catholic church, es-
tablishng the order of the Sisters of
Mercy far and wide, with headquar-
tiers at the st. AlphOnsus convent and
college of st. Catherine in New Or
leans. She has organized the order
even in Cen trail America, and two
years ago with Sisters Mary and Mary
Cecilia, her able associates, spent
some time in Belize, Honduras. Her
fourth volume of the Annals of the
Sisters of Mercy in the South and
West will be published as soon as all
the material necessary for such a
work can be collected. This is the
first visit of the ladies to this state.
They expressed themselves as being
delighted with San Antonio, admir-
ing the beautiful river and gratitied
at the hospitality they have received.
From the Ursuline convent they have
gone to-day to be guests at the Or
phan Asylum on Military plaza. With
such kind and winning manners the
ladies have made many friends here
who will only regret that their visit
was so short, and will wish them a
safe journey and every pleasure in
travelling westward. After the long
drive the party was entertained at
the residence of Capt. and Mrs.
Schram on Alamo street, where fruit
and other cool refre shments were
served, Capt. Schram having been
the host of the day.

STREET CAR COMPANY SPEAKS.
The Attorney Of the Company
nAninc Tia o. a irnS of th.. CITY,

The Attorney Of the Company
Denies the Claims of the City.
In the controversy now pending be-
tween the street car company and the
city, over the pavement of so much OF
Alamo plaza as is included in the
tracks of the San Antonio street rail-
way company, Mr.. Reagan Houston,
attorney of the road. denies all and
several of the allegations of contrac-
tor Mcklejohn and the mayor as to
the responsibility of the street car
line for the veXatious delay. Mr..
Reagan denies the right of the city to
claim from the railway company
the price of paving its tracks
across the plaza, and cites the
case of the company versus the city in
the West Commerce street paving pro-
ceedings as conclusive evidence that
the city has not the right it claims.
Mr.. Reagan further says that the
street railway company has always
been ready, at any time, to relay its
tracks and has so notified the city,
and has even commenced work but
has been restrained by the city from
so doing, and that the claim of unwil-
lingness or unreadiness on the part of
the car company to relay its tracks to
suit the changes in the plaza is
not valid. He says that the
claim of the city against the
company is purely a claim for money
and is so acknowled ged by the mayor;
that the proper way is to proceed with
the work and test this claim for
money in the courts; that under the
special regulations and contracts be-
tween the city and the company made
prior to the general law now in force,
the city has no legal claim upon the
company and that heretofore the
courts have always upheld the rail-
way company in their interpreted
ton of their rights. Mr.. Rea-
gan further says, that the COM
pany has proposed to leave
the points at issue to be decided by
any responsible lawyer, but that the
mayor has refused, and this in the
face of the city attorneys opinion that
the city has no right whatever to eX-
act the payment of this money. The
attempt to enforce the payment of
this money is declared to be as unjust
and understandable as though the city
should demamand payment OF sum
of money from an individual, which
debt was denied by the individual,
and then enforce its collection by
destruction of the alleged debtors
property.
Mr.. Regain claims for the company
that they are under state laws and
that the city has no right to attempt
to force money from them in any way
that would be considered unjust or
oppressive if attempted against an
individual. That the street company
has "never asked more than its right
to continue in the uninterrupted en-
joyment of the privileges conceded
TO it years ago, and upon the strength
of which its money was invested"

HE WAS WANTED.

Detectives Arrest L. ]. Simmonds on a
Charge Of Forgery.
L. J. Simmonds, who is wanted in Read
ing for forgery, was arrested by Detective
Sol Coulson yesterday.
Simmonds' arrest is an interesting one.
He had been to the police, and told them a
story of cruel desertion by his wife, who,
he alleged, ran away from him at Philadel-
phia. Last night the officers found the
woman, who, by the way, is remarkably
handsome. The woman, when sbe saw Sim
nonds, roundly abused him, and told Sol
Coulson he was wanted in Reading for
forgery. In the meantime a dispatch was
sent to Reading, and it was learned that
Simmonds was wanted for forging check
on bank.
s. j. Simmonds, who was arrested in this
city yesterday, will be taken back to the
scene of his crimes to-day, Detective
Kramer, of Reading, having telegraphed
that he would be here at $40 this morning
for that purpose. He acknowledged to De-
tective Coulson last night that he had forged
a mans name for $500, but denied that his
forgeries amounted to 5000 as stated by his
wife.
The woman who claims to be his wife and
who was the cause of his arrest relented last
night, after Simmonds was locked up, and
wished she had not given any information
to the police. She sent him down a basket
of dainties about 10 o'clock, and long let
ter which seemed to relieve his mind.

AFTER THE SPEAK-EASIES.
Uncle Sam Wants His Revenues From th
Illegal Liquor Sellers.

Uncle Sam Wants His Revenues From the
Illegal Liquor Sellers.
The persons who conduct "speak- -easies"
in this city are about to run against another
snag, which is more certain to catch them
up than either the Law and Order Society
or the independent detective" agencies.
Uncle Sans officers have been investigat-
ing them for some time, and there will soon
be general descent upon them. The speak
easy people may depend upon it that there
will be no compromise after they get into q
Federal court.
When Mr.. s. d. Warmcastle took possess
sion of the Office of Collector of Internal
Revenue, his attention was promptly called
to the fact that many people were selling
liquors in the two cities without the posses
sion Of an internal revenue license. He de-
clared his intention to thoroughly investi-
gate the subject. and to compel all such
transgressors either to pay the tax or to
suffer the penalty in the Federal Courts.
The investigation was promptly begun, and
has been very satisfactory. A great
deal of information is now in the Collectors
possession in regard to the location Of illegal
sellers and the manner in which they are
doing business.
The Collectors chief business is to see
that the revenues are paid to the Govern
ment. II the speak-easy people pay
promptly they will escape any penalty. If
they delay very long after this date the
amount charged will be double. Those who
have not paid by September may look for
breakers, and after that date the revenue
officers are liable to descend upon them at
any time. The penalty is heavy and may
include imprisonment in the penitentiary.

An Inquest Held on the Dead In A. ID. Miller
& Sons Rehuery.
The fire at the oil refinery of A. D. Miller
& Sons, on Preble avenue, was finally ex-
tinguished yesterday afternoon, and the
salvage is found to be much greater than at
first supposed. The senior member of the
firm states that not more than 25 per cent of
the works was destroyed.
A Coroner's inquest was begun on the
body of Thornton F. Miller, the engineer
who was burned so badly that the remains
were only identiiable by means of a match
box and a ring found on them. After tax
ing the testimony of Robert Miller, a brother,
and VIM. Miller, son, the inquest was ad-
jourded until tomorrow.
Perry Hauck, the night still man, who was
severely burned, is pronounced out of dam
ger.
7. s. Parker, ESQ, has prepared protest
for the residents of the Sixth ward to sign
against the rebuilding of the works, and 8.
5. ID Thompson, President OF the Armenia
Insurance Company, is taking the lead. An
ordinance was passed in 1870 which pro-
vides that no oil refneries should be built
nor any enlargements made. The fine for
violation is 500, with $50 a day subse-
quently so lorg as the violation continues,
fines to be recovered summarily, and
every such building or tank is hereby de-
clared a nuisance" Miller & Sons re-
fnery was built before the passage of the
ordinance and not affected by it before the
fire save as to extensions, but people in the
vicinity hold that it shall not be rebuilt, and
that such rebuilding would be q viola
tion ofthe ordinance

will secure many, if any of the Pittsburg
firms. Those in the company now are firms
running less than 20 pots. 1t would be
easier to conduct the affairs of combina-
tion of small factories like these than larger
ones One reason why do not think the
Pittsburg manufacturers would take kindly
to the scheme is on account of the distance
from New York.
FACTORIES TOO FAR AWAY.
Their factories are so far away from the
present state OF operations of the company
that it would be difficult to manage them.
There has been considerable talk about the
combination, but do not know of any firms
who have signifed their intention of going
into it..
The Pennsylvania factory in the pool is
at Meadville and the one in Ohio is at
Ravenna. The latter is owned by ID. c.
Coalman, who is working up the scheme
among Pittsburgers.
The wage lists of the window glass workers
were mailed to the manufacturers yesterday.
The latter quietly pigeon-holed the docu-
ments and said they were not yet ready to
sign them.
