THEIR PICNIC.
The Banner One of the Season by
the Arkansas Pass Railway
Bows.

the Arkansas Pass Railway
Boys.
Decoration Day was observed with
will yesterday by the employees of
the Arkansas Pass railway and their
many friends, male and female, as
guests. Riverside Park, when the
LIGHT beamed upon the scene at $3.50
D. M, was fairly alive with crowds of
picnickers, and the merriment was
undated as the day waned. There
were no games or other contests usual
at picnics, but there was plenty of
good music, and good beer, and other
refreshments, and all were en-
joyed with a rare zest. At night a
grand ball was given in the
pavilion and continued until two
o'clock this morning when all return
ed to the city. 1t is estimated by
Ticket Agent Everett that more than
/ 500 people were on the grounds at
one time during the day and the
many trains running to the Park
were loaded to their full capacity
every two hours.
The most uniform feeling and good
conduct prevailed during the entire
day, and not a quarrel or fight
occurred, and the presence of an officer
of the law was not required Indeed,
none had been provided, as the
the arran cement committee decided
that the Arkansas Pass boys knew
how to deport themselves which they
did.
The various officials of the Arkansas
Pass railway, and the committees
uniformly polite and obliging to their
guests, and were untiring in their
labors to give all present a grand
good time and they fully accom-
plished their purpose.
The LIGHT returns thanks to said
officials and individual committee
men for their many courtesies ex-
tended it through its representative,
and wishes many returns of yester-
days happy celebration.

boys named Joe. Dean stopped his
buggy and it was found that the lad
had fractured his leg by getting it
caught between the axle and spring.
Leaving the BOY in the care of his
brother Mr.. Dean provided a spring

Poor Piedras Negras.

The Piedras Negras merchants are
working a boycotton San Antonio. A
meeting of the merchants of that bor-
der town was held last Wednesday
evening to consider the competition of
foreign drummers. A petition was
drafted and signed asking the state
legislature of Coahuila to impose an
occupation tax of $50 visit on all San
Antonio and other foreign drummers
doing business in the city of Piedras
Negras, also asking the passage of a
law making it penal offense for any
merchant to buy goods Of a drummer
who has no license. This does not ex-
actly tally with the statement made
at Laredo chat merchants across the
line in Mexico can so far undersell
their American competitors, that
American goods stand no show.

An American Consul Thinks Germany Is
Seriously Troubled With the IncorpOra-
tiOn Fever.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3-Jacob Muller,
Consul General of the United States at
Frankfort on the Main, under date of May
q sends to the State Department a report
on the fol nation of stock companies Oh
trusts in Germany which he calls the ''in-
corporation fever" He says that he has
always looked distrustfully on existing
affairs there. The present events, the
gigantic strikes by which Germany is vis-
tied, seem to him to prove that the social
conditions are fraught with danger. The
strikes are not revolutionary but are the
outgrowth of unbearable conditions. In
Rheinish Westphalia, on a territory of not
more than twenty square miles, 80, 900
people revolted at starvation prices.
When the mining companies were realiz-
ing better prices for Goals than for many
years past the miners were receiving g
S125 to S185 per year Just now Mr.
Muller says Germany is showing
symptoms of business fever
sim lar in many respects to that which
terminated in the crash of 1873. 1t is TAX
ing the form of the creation of industrial
enterprises or the changing of private un-
dertakings into stock companies. In 1884
a law was enacte d for the regulation of
stock companies. 1t required a more
definite statement of affairs in the or
ganization of the stock company, but it
made the stockholders much less respon-
sible than the members of a private firm
The winnings" as he calls the earnings
of these companies, will, he says, be
larger and spread out among a greater
number of persons, but the people of linn
tied means can not participate as the law
has fixed the minimum price of a share at
1000 marks. Mr.. Muller believes that the
separation of employer and employed
which must result from these changes in
business conditions will result in the
union of workingmen and a permanent
ar. hat r-nnr, 4hnr, and +hnir arnnlnrnrr
