the last six years. and wants the public to
understand that he treats nothing but can

A San Antonian in a Fix.

In regard to the arrest and impris-
onment of E. w. Congdon, formerly
postmaster of Pearsall, and who has
recently lived in San Antonio, a gems
tleman of Chihuahua, Mexico, where
he is imprisoned, writes to his friends
in this city that Mr.. Congdon was in
bank, April 9Th, transacting his own
business. While there $1,000 was lost
and he was accused of taking it, and
was put under arrest. On April 18th,
having obtained permission to trans
act some business in town, he was ac-
companied by guard of one man to
the express Office. On returning to-
wards the prison he killed the soldier,
and and mounting a mule, tried to
escape. The mule would not 60 and
he killed the mule, and then after a
hard chase by Mexican soldiers, was
finally captured in a house and taken
back to Jail, where he now lies, under
sentence of death.

The Belknaps Abro ad

Every mail brings additional infor-
nation of the honor in which the
Belknaps were held at the New York
inaugural. No other body of troops
except the West Point cadets received
any marked atten tion, but the Bel
knaps were singled out at all times as
the favorites of the assembled thous-
ands. "Sam Maverick" and "his
snow white boys" were on every
tongue. Invitations were forced upon
them to concerts, theater and banquet,
many of which they could not accept.
The banquet given them by President
Lott of the S. A. P. was very fitting
tribute from good San Antonion and
most gracefully rendered. The boys
were literally overwhelmed with at
tentions and their visit will always be
one long to be remembered.

Harry Thornton, gambler, was ser
iously but not fatally cutat the Wash

interfered and received a severe cut
on his right hand. Other parties in
terfered and separated the combat

THE Samoan conference is in full
blast. The commissioners are right
royalty treated and the glamour of
their entertainment in the salons will
be hard to resist in the conference
chamber. AS Germany will hardly
consent to the reinstatement of Ma
taafa and America will not consent
to see Tamasese clothed with author
ity it seems quite probable that the
mantle of power will fall on the
shoulders of the old King Malietoa.

many truant hours which he had de-
voted to Exporting III the Hudson, had
made him an expert swimmer; yet,with
all his strength and skill, he found great
difficulty in reaching the shore. His
disappearance from the deck had not
been noticed by the crew, who were all
occupied by their own danger. The
sloop was driven along with inconceiva-
