JOHNsTOwN, June 1S.-Already this
morning four bodies have been blown
up in the wreckage above the railroad

systematized. The polls are opened

live stock market can be perpetuated
here and it will prove a source of rev.
enue to our people, and nothing will
tend TO Its establishment upon solid
foundations sooner than multiplied
railway lines. So soon as this deep
water controversy ends in deep water
somewhere, San Antonio must seek
connection by rail, direct as is pos
sible, with such seaport or get left.
Dallas and Fort Worth and Houston
are binding themselves by bands of
iron to future increase. San Antonio
must follow suit. In all this she
must meet her rivals and
with the wisdom of modern
methods employed by other cities
dispute the palm and challenge for
supremacy San Antonio has very
many advantages which no other
city in Texas possesses, and by a
proper improvement of them she can
in less than five years secure such a
lead as will insure her against any
successful rivalry in Southwest'Texas
for a century to come.
One advantage possessed by her,
possessed by no other city in Texas,
and in which she is absolutely with
out a rival, is her climate and her
prestige as winter resort. No other
spot in the South can rival her attrac-
tions in this particular. Florida and
California have had their day and the
tide has turned. 1t is in the power of
this city today, to secure a permanent
lien on very large part of the travel
which seeks more favorable climate
than that of the North to winter in.
A winter hotel with first class accom-
modations for $500 guests, on some
commanding ground overlooking this
city, would be filled to overlooking
this winter, were such q hotel now
ready for guests, and the $500 of this
winter would become 10000 year
hence. The opportunity is ours today.
In five years it will not be.
Other cities are increasing their
railway connections. The more they
have the more anxious are they for
more. 1t must be a good thing or
they would not invest in new roads
as they do. Other cities are bidding
strongly for wooden and cotton mills
and other creative industries en-
ploying large bodies of men. We,
too, must enter the ring and bid, or
bust. Other cities are maturing
plans for advertising their advan-
tages as winter and health resorts.
San Antonio is the most desired for
a winter residence, as we'll as the
most desirable, of any city in the
state. hut she lacks the accomoda-
ton. West End, Keystone Park,
Laurel heights, the head of the
River-all these suburban properties
might be utilized tor the erection of
hotels for winter visitors. The hour
is ripe for Improvement. Fit does
not pass unimproved San Antonio
can not fail of her future. The CEN
fury will not close without seeing a
city of 1000 in this beautiful valley.
Let the years pass without effort and
the century will close with dead
town in the San Antonio Valley, and
thriving rivals all around US.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1889.
THE ACCEPTED TIME.

The next four or five years will de-
termine the place San Antonio must
occupy among the cities of Texas for
the next quarter of century. Cir
cumstances beyond our control have
settled this matter, and it remains for
us as wise business community to
read the signs of the times correctly
and govern ourselves accordingly.
There re three things most neces-
sary of con sideration-the multiplied
ton of railway lines, the planting OF
manufactures, the creation of mod
ern winter resort. The first two of
these are largely interdependent.
With the creation of mann factures
comes the necessity of inc e. rail-
way communication. The large
freight traffic centering at a manufac-
turing town naturally draws railway
enterprise to share in the carrying of
such frelghts and competing lines
are thus created. So capital, look
ing for a location in which to
start large mandatory, nat
urally looks for it in city
with several railway outlets as GER
tain to insure the most tavorab BILE rates
for the distribution of its mauufac-
tured goods. The first railways en-
tering town necessarily curtail its
business. Local trade that formerly
came to San Antonio from Luling and
Seguin. and from Kerrville and Flores
vile and from Mason and the north
west goes to the small towns that
have grown up along the lines of the
Southern Pacific and the Arkansas
Pass roads. This loss is offset by
gains in other directions, after the
lapse of time, when trade adjusts it,
self to the new conditions. San An.
tonic has double the retail trade OF
any city in the state. That retail
trade she can keep and expand by
creating manufacturing industries
employing thousands of wOrkm en-.
Also, as railways multiply, the cost of
freight at the railway center decreases
and the retail merchant can under.
sell the small dealer i'm the country
town, and give his customers the
benefit of much larger stocks
from which to select Increased

increased railway lines, which also
increase facilities for distribution

Not ont of the woods.

Washington special: The G ford
Sioux bill is not by any means out OF
the woods IN the house yet, and its
friends are not q little troubled for fear
it will encounter the same difficulties
that have harsssed the Oklahoma and
the Pacific funding bills. John q. King
said last night that he expected that the
enemies OF the bill would resort 20 dila-
tory tactics in the house to defeat it I'M
less q submission clause we're inserted.
1t is limited that Senator Dawes, know
ing that he will be defeated in the sen
ate in his attempt to antagonize the
measure, will get his friends to make
this fight in the house. This seems
hardly probable, as such action would
SAVIOR Of malice, and be out OF the line
of the usual courtesy between the house
and senate. 1t is more than probable
that the question. IL it materializs %. will
come from the Indian defense %assonia-
tion, which has been largely engaged in
lighting the Sioux commission and the
last Sioux bill. DR.. Bland, OF that or
ganizstion, has come to the frcnt with o
proposition to the friends OF the Sioux
bill, that il they will amend the measure
80 as 20 give the Sioux o lump sum OF
$1,000 900 cash down he will guarantee
that the bill, without o submission
clause, will get through the house. Mr..
King believes that il the bill can get
through the house it can easily pass the
senate, despite Dawes objections. He
has entered into negotiations with Bland
to ascertain jnst what influence he has
at his commend, and seems rather to
favor BANDS project. Meantime the
outlook is not SO bright as the friends OF
the bill could desire.

"Bullet Playing" Miners.

The Scotch miner has many Ways of
amusing himself. Quoits is a favorite
game of his; SO is a game called round
ers"-a sort of cricket-and cricket itself
Is popular among the younger men, but
with them football is the favorite pas
time. Leaping, running, throwing the
hammer and tossing the caber are all
practiced, and in some parts a game
called bullet playing is in high favor.
We have lever seen this played except
in the Lothians and Stirlingshire, and
there it was at n time crack amuse-
ment. Rather a peculiar amusement,
too. 1t is played in this manner: A GER
tain distance, say a mile out and a mile
in, is fixed upon as the ground to be COW
cred by the players, and the man who
does so in the fewest number of throws
is declared the winner. The bullet is a
polished ball of hard whinstone, and
weighs from ten to fourteen ounces, and
this ball the player takes into his hand
and running to q line drawn on the road
way, he swings his arm and throws with
all his might. This is termed "hainch-
ing the bullet and a good player can
cover the mile in five or six throws. The
game Is one mainly of strength, but a
good deal of skill can be shown In it.
Each player has q man IN front to
show where the bullets should be landed,
and his business is to see that, if his di-
rections are followed, the bullet of his
player will have the best part of the
road to run on. The game is always
played on the best highway in the neigh-
borhood, and the authorities object to it
as being dangerous, although we never
have heard of any accident arising there
from. A bullet match is to the Scotch
miner what a dog fight is to his North
umbrian OF Staffordshire congener. or a
prize fight to an East End Londoner.
The fact that it is forbidden by law adds
to its attractiveness, and it affords ample
opportunities for betting. Bets are made
on the throw. on the distance out and
the complete match, and when the
two 'tdons' are playing excitement runs
high.-Scottish World.
