He measured out the berries, got
his quarter, and drove off, while she
disappeared in the house. She came
out again after couple Of minutes,
however, looked up and down the

That was Different

There were twelve or fifteen men
sitting around in a Buffalo saloon,
when stranger to all entered, stood
by the door, and asked in loud voice:
Gentlemen, is there one among
you who will help poor, discouraged
man, TO-"
He appeared to choke up right
there, and while clearing his voice it
was noticed that two or three men
slid out of the back door, several 9TH
ers turned their backs, and one man
suddenly went TO sleep. Each one
assumed an attitude or demeanor cal
culated to discourage the stranger,
but he presently got his voice and
continued:
"Who will help poor, discouraged
man, to drink dollars worth of
beer?n
II willw yelled every man in the
place in chorus, and a grand rush
was made for the bar.

\ lion Loose.

One night, when old Dan Rice was
exhibiting his circus in an Ohio town
it came on to rain about the time the
performance was over, and hundreds
of people stuck to the tent for shelter
Dan didn't want to be mean, but the
canvass must come down, and so he
sent three of the men through the
crowd to whisper:
Don't get excited and make rush
but must inform you that the NJ
indian lion has escaped from his cage.
Please 60 out quietly"
The people went fast enough-all
but few unbelievers. There was a
farmer and his wife and five children
and he got them in a circle in the
ring and placed four or five pickles,
three or four hard-bOiled eggs, and a
paper of salt in his straw hat in the
center. One of the men came up and
inquired:
What are you doing here, old
man?u
"Waitin," was the reply.
Didn't you know the lion was
loose?n
"Yaas, heard 'em say SO. Is it
true?"
"Of course it is"

The Bermuda Gable.

NEW YORK, June lon Saturday
last the steamer Westmeath, having
on board the cable that is hereafter to
connect Bermuda with Halifax, and
with the great world beyond, arrived
in Bermuda. The cable is Grated ON
board the Westmeath in iron tanks.
The time occupied in coiling it on
board was seventeen day and as many
nights. Its length is S74 miles, and
throughout it is of much greater
weight than has hitherto been used.
The Westmeath is now on her way to
Halifax. On her passage hence a
careful survey of the bed of the ocean
will be made so as to discover the
most suitable position for the cable.
The temperature at different depths
will at the same time be determined.
The time occupied by this necessary
survey, and by arrangements to be
made at the Halifax end, will be
about a fortnight. At the end of this
period the work of laying will be be-
gun, and under favorable circumstan-
Ces the completion Of the laying may
be expected before the end of June.

SAN FRANCISCO, June ia cor
respondent of the Associated Press in
Toxic, Japan, writes as follows, I'M
der date of June /:
The excitement following the de-
predations of the students of Toxic
has decreased little since they apo
logiZed to the Rev. w. Imbrey, the
New Jersey missionary, who was cut
by them two weeks ago. That gen.
tleman has entirely recovered, and
it seems nothing more is to be heard
of the matter. The foreigners feel
outraged that the calprits were not
severely punished.
AS the result of their escape from
any more than q simple apology the
Soshi are becoming more bold day
by day and insults to foreigners are
increasing. The sailors coming from
Yokohoma are armed with revolvers,
fearing that there may be some show
of violence. The government seems
to be doing all in its power to deal
with the students as a class, but no
incivility can be offered them as in
dividuals, because of their desperate
character,

SAN ANTONIO. TEXAS. TUESDAY, JUNE II. '99O'
THE KILLING.
Indicted for Murder--Applied for
Habeas Corpus.

]
Habeas Corpus.
The grand jury yesterday afternoon
returned true bills of indictment
against city policemen Jim Stevens
and Joe Wilkin, for murder OF {. w.
Collins, and almost Immediately
thereafter their attorney, w. w.
Walling, applied to Judge Noonan for
writ of habeas corpus, which was
granted. The case will be taken up
as early as possible.
The outlook for the two police
men, especially for Stevens, looks
very gloomy. After the coro-
ner's verdict, and on being
sent back to their beats, Stevens
told in many places that he was the
one who fired the fatal shot. This
will materially aid Wilkin.
The father of deceased is in the
city, and will make vigorous prose-
cution of the officers, being assisted
with funds provided by several stock
men of Fro county, who are very in
dlgnant at the summary taking OFT
of Collins, whom they claim to have
been an inoffensive, peaceable boy.
The barkeeper at the Western Star
saloon declares. that Collins
was unarmed. Twice he saw
him pull Off his coat and
he saw no pistol. Neither did Ben
Dobbs have one. Had it not been for
Jim Henson, boy, who has pretty
tough record in this city, the trouble
would never have occurred. He it
was, according to the bartender, who
kept at Collins to make him fight
about the dog, which, by the way, 1t
is stated, belonged to neither him nor
Eli Smith. Several times he cursed
Collins shamefully, and when
Collins, aggravated beyond endnr,
| ance, was about to fight
Dobbs quieted him and conuseled
peace. They declared they had DC
money to pay fines and did not come
| to town to raise row. When they
went to ge: a cup of coffee, Henson
followed them and Stevens and
Wilkin being seated at the stand
| presumably said something TO them
to which they, or Collins retorted
saying, open your fire then" The
shooting Immediately followed. Col

each ther as they started from
the saloon, that each could bea,
the other out in a race, anC
only stopped by the coffee stanC
to hear boy play a jig on a musica
instrument he had.
Capt. Shardein has not yet appoint
ed any persons in place of officer,
Stevens and Wilkins who are in jai
under the charge of numbering Claude
| Collins.
Mayor Pro Tenn Guerguin ordered
the weeds to be cut down on Milan
square today, IN order to allow {
thorough search for the pistol which
the policemen, Stevens and Wilkin
claim Claude Collins had when he wa
killed.
Lawyers say, even if a pistol wa
found at this late day that proof would
have to be made that it was his pistol
and also, that it was not placed Their,
