They Have Too Much Work.

The duty of flushing the cutters
every week, now done by the sanitary
inspectors, should devolve upon the
street commissioners gang. What
does sanitary inspector know of the
grades of streets? Many times the
cutters are flushed and } grade is
found to run off the water a d a mud
hole is the result. The stree commits
sioner could remedy this and the
flushing of the cutters would be
great source of information to him as
to the condition of the streets, and
then the sanitary inspectors could
keep the city cleaner.

Yesterday, at the Astor House, l
met ex-Fire Marshal Lewis. He is a
large, portly man, whose black hair
and mustache are beginning to show
the attacks of time. He has been in
terested in fire insurance for thirty
years. In speaking of the singular
Heinrich arson case now pending in
the General Sessions, he said: There
is much less incendiarism than is
commonly supposed. 1t seldom
comes to light, as the fire-bugs have
grown very cunning, and in too many
instances it is impossible for the COM
panies to procure any legal evidence
against them. Nearly all criminals
of this class are of foreign origin. The
largest number are the Russians, and
the next the Polish Jews. They sell
dom plan large fires or heavy losses,
but scheme so as to have small fires
in their shops or parlors during their
temporary absence from home. The
damage seldom exceed 5000, and runs
as low as Sl00. In one case l ran
down Russian who had had fifteen
fires in three years, and on each &C.
casion had collected his insurance.
Though was certain the he was the
incendiary, and that the pretended
damage was largely bogus, | could

THEY FAVOR THEM.
Why Union Yards are Wanted by
Everybody.

Why Union Yards are Wanted by
Everybody.
To arrive at the true status of opin-
ion on this much talked Of ques-
ton among the men who make their
living in the live stock trade OF san
Antonio, and to air the opinions OF
all sides, a LIGHT reporter visited
number of dealers and interviewed
them in regard to union stock yards,
Fl think that it is a benefit alike TO the
growers and dealers. SAID MT. \.
Underwood, lit will concentrate trade,
so that man can go to the yards
and by one sweep of the eye tell what
is on the market. 1t will be great
time saving arrangement and Will
in effect be the same to the stock in
terests as union depot is to the
travelling public"
What do you think of the opposi-
ton of the yard men" put in the re-
porter.
Those that have yards of their
own are down on the project, to
man and l don't blame them.
1t will greatly iDjure their business
and perhaps ruin them, and they are
only fighting it in seltdetense. The
outside dealers, like my self have no
interest in fixed yards and we will
move our Office to the yards as soon
as completed.
Mr.. w. G.. Moody was also inter
viewed. Il am POSITIVELY in favor OF
union yards, because of thepoof ship
ping facilities Of this market which
it will be one of the objects of union
ism to remedy. AS things stand now
the man who brings his stock here
! from the range in cattle
cars, will probably arrive in
! the night and the stock will have
| to lay in the cars for hours and in the
morning be driven through town at
| the risk Of stampede. Otherwise
| they are uuloaded on arrival and fed
and sold or otherwise disposed of be-
fore they are brought to the notice of
thebuyers, under the present system"
Mr., r, r, Clarridge, editor OF the
Texas Stockman and Farmer, was
seen and said: II have always ad-
vocated Union Stock Yards, because
they are step, and long one, in the
| direction of progress, and because
they will, in great measure, correct
many bitter abuses that have been
| connected with the live stock trade of
San Antonio. The business will be
conducted according to fixed rules,
and on strictly business principles,
which is more than can be said of the
way the business has been done in
! the past. In fact, IL will change our
| live suock trade from the guerrilla to
the regular system. Under the union
stock yards system, with its fixed
rules. the old way OF a lot of rustlers
with their offices in their mats, taking
turns at showing a buyer the same
lot of stock till he is so disgusted that
he don't want to buy anything at all ,
will be out of the question. There is
some talk that union stock yards will
enable few to monopolize the trade.
AS to that a few have already about
cornered the business, and it is my
opinion that if union yards have any
effect in this way one way or another,
it will be to correct this tendency"
