\ surprise party was given Master
August FrobOese, son of County Treas
urer Froboese, last Saturday night at
the family residence on West Nueva
street. The occasion for the surprise
was to welcome young Froboese home
from the Bryan cadet school, and the
friends of the young cadet were there
in full force. Dancing was the order
of the evening, the grand polonaise
being stepped off on the lawn under
the shade of the spreading trees. Mr..
Ed. Froboese, ST., himself did the
honOrs of host and proved to be quite
expert in his line. Among those pres

Hard on the Snerift,

A copy of the general laws passed
by the 2lst legislature have been re-
ceived. Chapter 80 amends article
1920, of the revised civil code, which
prescribes that sheriffs of counties
shall only appoint 8 deputies in each
precinct.
This will play havoc with Sheriff
Mccall, in BeXar county, at least.
Even now, with the large number of
deputies he employs, the district
court, with its heavy civil and GRIM
inal dockets, the heavy venires of jur-
ors in murder cases to be summoned,
the work of waiting on the grand
juries, and the approaching autumn
when there will be two district courts
for him to attend, he has more than
enough work for them all.
Then the Jail employs two or three
deputies, and when the fair is in full
blast, deputies of the sheriff will be
needed there as watchmen and to
keep the peace, as part of the grounds
are outside the city limits and police
officials are without authority. The
rule will not work for BeXar county,
at least, and some expedient should
have been provided by the legislature
for just such cases as we have cited.
Three deputies for precinct No. (San
Antonio) will not be sufficient to do
all this work.

CoIored Wife Beater,

A negro man, living back of Selby's
store on East Commerce street, while
drunk yesterday afternoon, began
quarreling with and beating his wife.
a young negro woman present at
tempted to separate the brute from
his victim, and was herself beaten
down by a blow on the head from a
club he struck her with, which cut
her scalp in an ugly wound. The
police were summoned by neighbors.
Tony Carter, as that is the name of
the negro, has not yet been arrested.
After he had tried to kill his wife and
the girl with an axe, but was discov-
cred by the neighbors, he ran away,
barefoot and hatless, and struck out
for the Salado country. He borrowed
a hat from a friend on Powder House
Hill on his way.

Canadians in Favor of Annexation.


Montreal, Dec. 13.-Since the visit
of the Montreal aldermen to Duluth,
Minneapolis and st. Paul most OF
them have become red hot annexa-
tionists and freely express them
selves as such. Tonight the nation
al club, the leading liberal organiza-
ton in the province, put itself on
record. The question was if Canada
would be benefited by annexation
The principal speaker was Premie,
Merciers, son in-law of CONN, prom
inent lawyer, who made a speech IN
which he showed conclusively thai
annexation was preferable even t.
independence. Trombley, another
speaker, made one of the most tell
ing spaeches ever heard on behalf o
annexation, at the end of which thu
club rose en- masse and declared un
mistakably for union with the Unit
ed States.

payments made by Missouri since
April 22, 1862, to the officers and

AZ WINE OF cARDUl. Tonic for Women.
The morning news., 1889-03-15

he calls divining rod, implicitly believes
he shall be guided to the right spot.
Mr.. Middlebrook, who is over 90 years of
age. was long employed on the steamers
Johu Brooks and Ansonia, plying between
New York and this city. Later he was
connected with the steamer j. B. Schuyler.
An experience of more than forty years has
enabled him to study the pecularities of
the shores of the sound, and to satisfy him
self as to what harbors the famous pirate
when looking for the proper spot to bury
gold would be likely to enter. Since Feb.
l, to make perfectly sure that there is
foundation for his many theories, he has
consulted a fortune teller of high degree,
and by him has been told
that there is efficacy in the divining
rod, that there is $4,000 Of gold in the
form of doubloons, that it can never be
found by day, but will be by night, and
and that the finder will be sickly man.
The fact that Mr., Middlebrook has been for
years far from well, in connection with the
circumstances as stated, has lifted him to
plane of expectation SO elevated that he
can almost see success approaching. As an
inducement for him to embark in a scheme
to secure this vast amount of money Peter
Semon has been offered 81 900 by
Mr.. Middlebrook for the use of tools, and
James Hoey and others have agreed to
dig at the rate of 81 rs per night and 500
should the gold be found. The night of
Friday, March l, was spent at point near
Fairfield Beach, the divining rod pointing
in that direction. Next evening the rod in
dicated Washington bridge. near the mouth
Of the Housatonic river. Great labor was
expended there and much hope. Monday
the party was impelled to the shore near
Flat Island, at Southport. Mr., Middle
brook carries his rod. which is Of iron, with
him, and by daylight consults and studies
it. The size is Insignificant, but the power
from its possessor's standpoint is very
great. Projects, covering many nights in
the future, are in the scheme of Mr.. Middle
brook, and no localities will be overlooked
and no stones remain unturned until the
grand prize SO vividly seen mentally and SO
near the grasp physically, has been attained.
Mr.. Middlebrook has been able to convert
numbers of his friends to his way of think
ing in the premises, and to-day, as 80 many
times in the past, there is a likelihood, If
hope and expectation are of any worth, of
a complete realization.
The south side of Island beach, Fayer-
weather island, near Black Rock; Charles
Island, off Milford; Cedar creek, near P.
T. Barnum's new home; Sheffield's and Ram
islands off Norwalk; a point near the
famous Keysers island, Calf pasture,
Sprites, Belts and Hay islands, between
Norwalk and Westport, and finally Goose,
Caukeen's and Kidd's islands, already men
toned, will be prospected and thoroughly
dug over. Mr.. Middlebrook hopes to in
duce capitalists to view this project in the
same light that he views it, and unhesitat-
ingly declares that, being on the right track,
an investment will remain but short time
without return of both principal and inter
