A FREE RIDE
In Another Mans Wagon and the
Result.

In Another Mans Wagon and the
Result.
Yesterday morning man drove up
to Dullnig's store on Military plaza
in an express wagon with his little
girl, tied his horse and went in to
purchase some goods. He left the
little girl in the wagon and soon after
had occasion to go over to Wolfson's.
During his absence a white man who
was under the influence of liquor
came by and asked negro bystander
to drive him over 70 tne L. and G. n.
depot. He said it was his wagon and
that he would pay him for his
trouble. Setting the little girl
on the sidewalk the negro
drove him up North Flores street and
then around to Villanueva's saloon,
on East street, where the man got
out, paid the negro a quarter and
then walked off, telling him to wait
for him. The man did not return and
the negro, on advice from by-stand-
ers, drove the horse to the police sta
ton and gave himself and the outfit
up.
Meanwhile, the owner of the
vehicle had come up, found his
little girl in tears in charge of a
policeman and his wagon gone.
The marshal bad started two officers
in hack up North Flores street in
pursuit of the wagon and two city
pound officers (the mounted police
being engaged in conducting the COL
ored procession through the streets
to the l. q G. n. depot. The hack
reached West End and then turned
back. So did the pound men from
the l. Il G. n. depot. The negro was
arrested charged with being disor-
DERBY, but, explaining the matter to
the recorder today, was discharged.
The white man has not been heard
from.

PUBLIC COMFORT.
A Committee Badly Needed to Sue

A Committee Badly Needed TO Sue
cor the Coming Crowds.
San Antonio will certainly need a
public comfort committee very soon,
in time for the encampment. From
all directions the people are coming
and when the great crowds enter the
city and prowI about the street at
night searching for lodgings, a great
damage will be done to the fair
name of the city if they go home and
saw San Antonio did not furnish them
hospitality. Let some good man for
the work, Mr.. J. T. Burnett or Mr..
Flournoy for instance be put in
charge OF such committee immedi-
ately and let it go abroad that San
Antonio is up and at work to meet
all visitors who may come here till
Christmas.
The LIGHT is glad to learn that the
committee on the encampment have
determined to establish a committee,
for which purpose an Office will be
rented on Houston street, where list
of all hotels, boarding-houses and
others, who will accommodate visit
ors, will be kept, and strangers can
be at once directed to quarters. For
this purpose the committee request
those willing to keep visitors to send
their street number and the exact
number of guests they can accommo-
date, to the committee, and this will,
if attended to by the parties interest
ed, prove a great benefit to all con-
Cerned

Freight Rates Considerably Re-
duCed.
Several days ago the International
and Great Northern railroad made
application II the Cotton Belt, Fort
Scott and Memphis, Missouri Pacific,
Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe, and
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail-
ways, for reduction of corn rates to
San Antonio from common points on
their lines. The rate is at present As
cents per 100 pounds, and the reduc
ton, to which most of these roads
have agreed, is to make it % cents,
or nearly 100 per cent. lower, and the
rate to Laredo, formerly 80 is, has
been reduced to 80 cents. The Aran-
sas Pass has made the same arrange
ments with the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas and the Santa Fe lines, and
these rates will 60 into effect by the
9th of this month. This rate
reaches all points on these roads and
embraces a great part OF Kansas, Ne.
braska, Indian Territory and North
ern Texas. This applies only to corn.

A carpenter named Fink, while
working yesterday on a new building
situated in the southeastern part of
the city, became unconscious from the
effects of the heat, resulting in sun
stroke. He was working near the
top of the building at the time, and
when the attack came on he fell to
the earth, receiving serious injuries
about the head. He was picked up
and conveyed to his home, where he
lies, at last accounts, in a critical cOn-
ditiOn.

THE TWENTY.THIRD DISTRICT.

The warmth generated by the events at
the congressional convention in the Twenty
third district on Tuesday was not at all
moderated BY the fall in the temperature Of
the atmosphere yesterday. Colonel Bsyne's
manifesto indicated decided wrath on his
part, for starter, while the meeting at Car
negie Hall last night showed that large
share of the Republican citizens of the dis
trict have got their feelings aroused to
fighting point, just as thoroughly as anyone
else.
It seems pertinent to suggest that the
shape in which matters now rest render a
portion, at least, of this warmth superoga-
tory. It is an indication of wrath rat he
than cool judgment to assert, as some of the
speakers seemed to at the meeting, that
Colonel Stone has no right to sub
NIT his name to the voters of
the district, at the primaries,
as he has done; while, on the other side, the
principle quoted from Speaker Reed to the
effect that Colonel Bayne had the right to
turn over the nomination to any one he
wanted to. is only such as could come from
the most ultra school OF personal politics.
But mutual recrimination is rendered un-
necessary by the fact that mutual consent
has referred the nomination to the primaries
once more, and every man has right to 60
before the people as a candidate. The sug-
gestion of the meeting last night, that nomi-
nations ought to be made directly by the
people is in line with what THE DISPATCH
has already pointed out.
The whole dispute can now be fairly set
tied at the polls. The second edition of last
nights ebullitiOn brought George Shiras III
to the surface again, and the prospect is
good for lively fight with, let us hope, a
fair field and no favor.

THE SOLE OBJECTION.

The anxiety of an afternoon contemporary
over the progress Of the canal scheme, to a
point where it may threaten to take away
the profitable ore and coal business OF the
railways, produces an amusing result.
With every article published by The DIS
PATCH concerning that enterprise, it pipes
up its single note of objection "What use is
there of twelve-foot canal to connect with
9 six-foot river?"
It should not require very much intelli-
gence to perceive that this objection is met
by any of four considerations. First, there is
no law declaring that the canal must be
twelve feet in depth; second, if it should be
made twelve feet there will be no law prohib-
iting six-feet vessels from sailing on it; third,
there is no insuperable objection to lading ore
vessels to draw six, eight or nine feet, if by
that means they can be brought to Pitts
burg; and fourth, there is no utter impossi-
bility in getting seven, eight or ten feet of
water from Beaver to Pittsburg.
All these things are evident to every
person who is not busy in rummaging up
objections to a project which will cut off
half the cost of the principal freights of Pitts
burg. 1t is absolutely necessary for those
who are afraid that the dollsr-a-ton freights
on ore and coal may be reduced to hunt up
q new style of objection to the canal.

THE SUGAR REBATE,

The wholesale sugar dealers of the coun-
try are making decided effort to induce
Congress to provide a rebate of cent a
pound on sugar held by dealers in the un-
broken packages, at the time the reduction
of sugar duties goes into effect With the
probability of sharp reduction they say
that noone will be able to carry heavy stocks
unless there is some protection against the
loss from sharp reduction of duties. The
result that is predicted without such a re-
bate, is that the stocks held will be so low as
10 place the market entirely at the mercy of
the great manipulators.
Perhaps the danger from this cause may
be somewhat exaggerated. The men who
try to carry big stock and corner the
market on it would run the same risk as any
one else. The fact is that when the tariff
bill is passed and the future date for the re-
duction of duties fixed, the effect of the re-
duction will be largely discounted. But the
possibility of complication can be avoided
by rebate which shall decrease the loss.
This is done on the tobacco schedule and it
should be done on the sugar schedule. A
cent rebate on a two cent reduction would at
once inspire caution and prevent the COM
plicstions that are feared, if the reduction
goes into effect without any rebate.

THE TOPICAL TALkER.

A Political Question In Which womeu Are
Interested = They Asked for Bavpe-
Tobies for a Californian Stage Driver
A Hair Raising Incident = Canadian
Temperance-A Smart Terrier.
PROBABLY no political sensation has ever af.
fected women in Allegheny county so
strongly as Mr.. Bayne's resignation. Women
who do not, as a rule, care a copper cent about
politics. and have horror of political eontro-
versies have been deeply interested in the
events which have made the Twenty.third Con-
gressional district a debating club since the
memorable Tuesday of last week. The dag
nosis may not fit all cases. but think the rea-
son most women are attracted for once to ex-
anime the results Of the Republican primaries
is the prominence given by Congressman Bayne
to his wife's influence as the cause Of his resig-
nation.
The fair sex is nothing IL not partisan. They
take sides vigorously. On this question the
views taken by the feminine politicians may be
illustrated by dialogue that heard on Fri
day:
II think" said the first matron, that Colonel
Bayne did perfectly right to consult his wife's
wishes first in the matter"
THAT isn't my opinion" said the other. sit
was just like man to put the blame upon his
wife,"
But in the main Colonel Bayne commands
more sympathy among women than among
men. Ii the former voted it might not be SO.
