Foolish MARTYRS.

There are martyrs and martyrs. Some
were wise in the loftiest, some are silly in
the most improvident sense. The word
improvident exactly applies to the latter
class, since they neglect to provide against
threatened danger. We commiSerate, but
we cannot respect them. Among the sill
liest are martyrs to rheumatism, who
might have prevented daily and nightly
recurring torture by the early use of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters,a blood depurent
more efficient in removing the virus of
this complaint from from the circulation
than any thus far brought to the notice
of the general community and the medi-
cal profession. 1t promotes greater ac-
tivity Of the kidneys, the channel through
which blood impurities, productive Of
rheumatism, govt and dropsy, are prin-
cipally expelled, and it imparts degree
OF vigor to digestion and assimilation
which has m )st favorable bearing on
the general health. II also remedies biz

ANTONIO, TEXAS, MONDAY NOVEMBER 7. 1890.
A FEARFUL WRECK.
The 1. & G. N. Pay Car Crashes In
to a Passenger Train.

The southbound l. & G. n. passenger
No. 3, due here last night at p. M, ar
rived this morning at 8 a. m, five hours
late. The cause of the delay was a Seri-
| Gus accident, which had happened to it
at Kyle, Tex.
The report was over town this morning
that several passengers had been killed,
some twenty-five wounded and the whole
train had been wrecked. A reporter who
put out for the l. & G.. n. depot this
morning to get at the particulars found
that everybody in the offices and the
yards didn't know a thing about it,"
even the chief dispatcher hadn't much
about IT." However, when the train
pulled in at II o'clock this noon,
over one hour late, some rail-
road men and some OF the passengers con-
tributed the following information con-
corning the wreck:
The pay car that was going up the road
passed Kyle at an exceedingly swift rate.
just as the passenger under the charge
OF Conductor BardS, was passing over the
switch. AS result, the engine on the
pay car crashed into the two last cars
with terrible force smashing them and
scattering the splinters of the wrecked
cars along the track, injuring and bruis-
lug SOlle seriously, PERHAPS ldGdlly. AS
to the number of people injured, the re-
porter was unable u Learn, but Capt.
Story who came in from Austin
on the delayed train this noon,
said that he had heard that
some sixteen or seventeen passengers
had been more or less injured. 1t is
thought that no San AntOnians were
hurt.
A man named Warren who was serious
ly hurt was taken off Kyle as were a
number of others.
Land Commissioner Richard M. Hall. of
Austin, whowa caught in the Inflated
cars, was brought to town on the train
that came in at a. m. this morning, Seri-
ouSly suffering from conclusion of the
brain. The injured man lies at the
Southern.
When the news reached here, the train
master Immediately sent several coaches
TO the scene Of the wreck, to replace those
that had been disabled in the great crash.
The track has been placed in order again
for the traffic.
No information as to who was in charge
of the trains. and who or how many
were injured on both trains, could be
gathered up TO the time of going to press.
but Judging from the talk and actions of
the railroad men, it appears that the ac-
cident could have been avoided with
little more caution.

A Petrified Body.

A Sunbury pa dispatch to the
Philadelphia Times says: A petrified
body was exhumed in the Sunbury
Cemetery yesterday. Some days ago
James Sewell purchased lot in Pom.
phret Manor Cemetery, and deter
mined to remove the bodies of his
family. The first grave opened was
that of Miss Ella Sewell, who died in
1887. 1t took the full strength of seven
men to lift the casket.
The lid was raised, and, to the sur
prise of all, the body was well pre-
served, and, but for the sunken
cheeks and marble pallor, the body
might have been that of q sleeping
girl. In life Miss Sewell was brun-
cite. When the body was viewed her
hair was snow-white. A careful ex-
am ination was made, and 1t was
found that petrifaction of the BODY
had taken place. Even the flowers
placed in the casket were petrified.
Experts pronounce 1t perfect case
of pretrified human body, and give
as the cause the danp condition of the
ground caused by the flood of June
1889.

CRACKED IT.
A NEAT AND BOLD JOB.
Joske Brothers Large Burglar Proof
Safe Opened as Easily as a
Child's Bank

Iron safes of every and any description,
are not burglar proof to mechanic. This
fact has long been potent and was fully
exemplifed in this city Sunday morning
when the large dry goods emporium Of
Joske Brothers was opened. 1t was
found then, that the extra large Herring
burglar-proof safe had been blown open
with dynamite or giant powder and the
entire contents rifled very Systematically.
AS soon as discovered the police were
sent for and came. They found the safe
doors blown wide open, and around the
safe scattered on the floor of the counting
department was the entire outfit of
burglars tools, braces, drills, bits,
jmmies, and two sledge hammers.
The burglars must have went to
work about 2 q. M, as it would
take considerable time to drill the hole in
the lock sufficient to contain the explosive
that was inserted. They entered by
window in the rear of the store, using
ladder they had stolen from neighboring
establishment. Descending the stairs,
the rest of the work was quite easy, as
the store was but dimly lighted and
no Waterman was at hand. The
noise of the explosion was heard about
half past three by people in the vicinity
and by officer Selfel aud he made tour
of the neighborhood but could not locate
the sound at all. After exploding the
safe the cracksmen took their time to rifle
the co ltents of the safe, securing few
hundred in cash, and some postal notes,
and leaving bank checks and
papers scattered about in the
yard. The steel box in the interior of the
safe, used for holding the money, was
broken open with a sledge and then left
in the rear of the store. After doing their
work, the visitors eoolly unbolted a rear
lower door and escaped, leaving their
tools where they had last used them.
A little after the explosion occurred a
hack with some men in it, turned
the corner Of the street just east of the
German Catholic church, and entering
Commerce street, drive at furious pace
toward Main plaza. 1t may have con-
tanned the crackmen or may not. The
mans lamps were not lighted.
The police are now Investigating and
think they have clue Every train is
being closely wa tched and il is thought
the thieves may be arrested.

OkIahoma's LIQUOR Law.

OKLAHOMA CITY, November H.
The United States grand jury has re-
turned in the neighborhood of sixty
indictments against the saloon keep
ers Of this city on the charge of SELL
ing liquor without license. This cir
cumstance is the result of the peculiar
condition in which Oklahoma City
finds itself. It is regularly incorpora-
ted city of the second class, still 1t is
unable to collect q cent of revenue,
and according to the terms of the Or
ganic act the same condition must
con tinue to exist. The act, as passed
by congress, declares unequivocally
that no city in the territory shall i'm
pose any special tax until so author
lied by the legislature. In spite of
this the city council of Oklahoma City
passed an ordinance fixing the saloon
keepers license at $500 per annum.
a portion of the liquor vendors paid
the assessment, while others took an
appeal. AS the United States gov
eminent has stepped In, the result of
the issue is awaited with considerable
