SAN ANTONIO, TEX. March 25.-Real
estate transactions in San Antonio to-
day amounted to SlO9, 900, fair aver
age of sale during the past six or eight
weeks. The most notable transaction
was the sale of the Daily Express proper
ty, on Commerce street, for $50 900,
cash. Less than year ago this proper
ty was bought for SCI GOO A fiTe-story
brown front newspaper building has been
contracted for, work on which was to
commence within a few days. It is not
known what the Express will do for
house.
Henry Vieling, the young German who
accidentally shot himself while out hunt
ing last Sunday, died to-day of his
wounds.
W. C. Bowen, of the Cotulla Ledger,
came to San Antonio to-day with his war
paint on. Meeting W. d. Owen, city
circulator Of the Express, hostilities were
at once opened, and the men went at 1t
tooth aud toenail; but before they could
hurt each other seriously, friends inter
fered and prevented a tragedy. Bowen
has been in newspaper war at Cotulls
for q long time with Judge W. H.
Howard, OWENS father-in-law, and
this was the immediate cause of to-day's
encounter

p The Fort Worth and Rio Grande road
has issued a handsome pamphlet illus

full justice. does not overdo the thing.
The charter filed at Austin day before
yesterday makes it appear that Fort

circling it. One is now graded for about
two miles, and the new party say they
will build. The question very naturally
suggests itself: Where is the demand for
two belt roads at this point?

have notified the railways that they must
discontinue the practice of charging pas
sengers ten cents extra where they fail to
procure tickets declaring that it is a vio-
lation Of state statute. Per contra, it
was recently decided in Pennsylvania by
the highest court that the practice was
lawful, and in most of the states it is
sanctioned by law or Custom.
Some of the Western lines are troubled
to secure cars sufficient to handle their
business, and charge the shortage up to
the dishonOrable methods practiced by
Eastern roads in holding cars of Western
lines for local business. One IndianRp-
oils road last week found number of its
cars in service hauling Ice from Maine to
points in New York and Pennsylvania,
and it Is said that hundreds of cars are
now in use on Eastern lines in this special
rush of business which are badly needed
at home.
