quest your honor to convene a special
meeting of the city council OF San An
tonic, and to postpone the special election
ordered for the Both instant to determine
the matter of the purchase of the water

following reasons:
FirSt-The citizens of San Antonio de-
sire to inform themselves fully upon the
important question involved in the pur-
chase of the waterworkS property, so as

Second-BecauSe as the law now stands,
there would have to be assessed and col
lected from the property owners an
annual tax of 10 per cent as sinking
fund, which, with the per cent interest
on the two million bonds, would amount
annually to 100000 of taxes to be paid by
the city taxpayers, and by deferring the
election time would be obtained to get the
law amended by the legislature, when it
NconveneS in January next, so as to make
the sinking fund tax only 2 per cent.

If the World Should End.
From the Chicago Herald.


If an authoritative bulletin were to
be issued this moment from the court
heaven that in Just seven days the
world would be destroyed, what passion
do YOU think would survive during that
final week Would it b. hate, or envy,
or ambition, or the greed of gain? Oh,
no; Of all the passions that animate the
human breast, the only one to endure
would be love. There would be tren
zied rush To grasp loves final opportu-
nifty. Mothers would gather their chill
dren about them. and there would be
no Impotence, no cruel putting aside OF
botherlng little arms, no withholding OF
caresses because they dsarranged the
we'll arranged hair and laces. There
would be no turning the boys out into
the street for the reason that IN
their play at home they were prone 10
make havoc with the tides on
the chair backs and the bric-a- brac on
the shelves. There would be no lack of
knowledge as to where the girls were at
evening, or at train time, when the de
pot swarms with idle loungers. lndlt-
ferent husbands, and nagging, blcker-
ing wives would torego their GOODNESS
and their quarrels, to vie with one an
other to redeem the past during the
brief time allotted them. Friends would
be more faithful, lovers more true, as
sociates more thoughtful Of each others
comfort, as the swift hours sped away.
But we need no bulletin from heaven
to acquaint rs of the briefness of love-
opportunity The span of our days is
already set, and wonderif the thought
brought home TO us NAV not quicken us
to improve the chance to brighten up
our homes with the full and constant
shining of the love that is within our
hearts, although dim and corroded by
the sordid environments of life.

The Steamer Annie Young Destroyed on
Lake Huron.
foRr HURoN, Mich, Oct. 20.-The
steamer Annie Young, of the Lake
Superior Transit Line, was burned TO
the waters edge off Lexington, Mich,
at 8 O'Clock this morning, and her
bIackened hulk is now drifting about
Lake Huron. Eight members of her
crew persisted.
4 stiff gale from the northeast pre-
vailed at the time of the disaster and
the loss of life WAS due to the capsizing
of one of the steamers boats. Those
who remained on board the burn
ing boat-tfirteen in all-were
rescued by the steamer Ed.
Smith, which providentially hap
pened along at the time the fire broke
out on the Young. The captain of the
Smith sighted the burning boat at dis
lance, and Immediately headed his
steamer for the scene. But belsre the
Smith reached the Young the eight
men, who lost their lives, had taken to
a yaWl boat, which soon capsized in the
terrible sea which is running. The
names of the unfortunate men are Nc
Manard, of Port Huron; j. Crosby, J.
Gallagher, J. Connolly, and three deck
hands whose names and residences are
unknown.
The thirteen men were quickly trans
ferred to the Smith by boat, it being
impossible for the little steamer TO APP
preach the blazing craft without en-
dangering her own safety.
The Young left here about 6:l5 this
morning bound for Gladstone with a
cargo of coal and merchandise for Buff
Ealo. She was Il staunch vessel, and
her captain had no fear Of the heavy
gale and sea. But shortly after s
O'Clock fire was discovered by one OF
the crew in the vicinity of the engine
room. and despite every effort soon
gained the mastery of the fire eXtin-
guis!:tng appliances, and drove the crew

The mate Of the Young was very
badly burned about the the face and
hands. He is living at the Marine Hos
pital here.
The big Kittie IIaight has gone in
search of the burned hulk, and if she
succeeds in finding it above water will
tow it into port.
The young WAS BULL in Detroit in 1869.
She WAS Of 695 tons burden, and valued
at $50, go The amount Of insurance on

IN THE DIM CHAMBER.
BY ARTHUR E. SMITH.

In the dim chamber whence across the floor
A few rale moonbeams stray, lonely stand;
From out the shadows various shapes at M
command
Arise then fade. seen by me no nlore
But yes terday, the one whom adore
Passed hence unto the tomb. Sweet Eleanore,
Her portrait on the wall is hanging; now
With fearful eyes gaze upon the brow
And at the dark eyes like unto the night,
And all my heart is flooded with loves light
Again in fancy, can see her sad sweet face,
So full of beauty, spirit, love and grace.
Close pressed to mine and with the old delight
I stroke the tresses of her dark-brown hair,
And kiss her glowing cheeks like roses fair.
But stern reality breaks in upon
NV dreams, and tells me she my love is gone,
And awake to find the midnight hour is on.
