PRESIDENT SCIIRYVER of therSan
Antonio International Fair and Ex-
position Is a man Of business and
does his business in a business WAY
Those who have done business with
him know this; and, consequently
when the subscription to the'sfair
stopped at about $4,000 instead Of
S25, 900 as proposed by the stockhoId-
ers of the fair, the LIGHT was certain
no fair would be held and said so. II
was not necessary to wait for Mr.
Schryver's return from Mexico TO nm
derstand this, and the LIGHT has
not waited. Before reaching this city
Mr.. SchryVer was lnterrOgated ON
this point and his only question
was-"'has the So 900 been raisedoU
Being told that il had not been he
replied. "Sah Antonio not Schryver
says there will be no tair. The fair
stock holders made their proposition
to San AntenlO; that proposition was
fair business one; IL has not been
met by San Antonio and there the
matter ends. San Antonio has raised
about SO, 900 outside of Mr. Schryver's
personal subscription and the sub
scriptiOn Ofthe Arkansas Pass r. r.
company. This is San Antomio's
answer to the proposition of the fair
association. The city has a perfect
right to do this. She does not seem
to consider the fair worth the outlay
asked by the association and declines
to make it, This is strict business.
The association not finding its offer
accepted drops the matter; this also
is strict business. As the LIGHT said
when the time limit was passed and
the money not subscribed. There
will be no fair In 1890

NOT BORN TO BIZ KILLED.

The Luck of Il Man Who Was Mix
ed Up in the Kentucky Cyclone.
LOuisvi lie Cou'irr-Journal.
Under lucky star Lawrence Long,
a little JettersOnville boy, must have
been born. Three times has he faced
what seemed IN each instance certain
death. but almost miraculously he has
gone through every ordeal and came
out not only alive but untujured.
A bout five years ago Lawrence went
up Oh the Louisville bridge, carry ing
dinner to his father, who is the toll
gate keeper. The day was warm and
sultry, and, the river being low, the
cleaning rocks so far beneath At
tracted the attention Of the little ur-
chin. In order to obtain a better Wow
Of the scene, he placed his basket on
the tOotway and clambered upon the
guard rail to look down. The giddS
height made his senses reel, and be-
fore he could save himself lie had
tumbIed h~adlOng upon the jagged
rocks below.
From distance his father had wit
messed the incident, and he hurried
from the bridge, expecting to find the
mamgled body of his son stretched
upon the shore. But, to his surprise,
mis- little boy met him half way and
laughinglv related the particulars OF
his tremendous fail as if it were a
huge joke. BY some mysterious pro-
violence he was not even bruised.
Later on, wien Lawrence was l.
wears old, like most o. the young fell
lows of that age, no fell i'm love with
the handsome little daughter of a
neighb Dor. With the asSIs lance of "A
friend he succeeded in procuring
marriage license, and one evening he
eIOped with his sweetheart. Although
he enJOmed the clerk to keep the mat

in the COurier-JOurmal the following
morning. In this manner the father

and he became SO angry that he load.

tor his new sOn-im-law, with the
avOWed determination of annihilatiug
him. They met shortly atterWard,
and the old man emptied both barrels
OF the gun at the boy. Again fortune
favored The youth who had made
himself famous by his remarkable
fall from me bridge, and not one of
the handful of shot struck him.
Young Longs latest adventure &C.
Cured on Thursday night. He is A
member of the K. and l.. of II lodge
which met at the Inflated Falls CITY
Hall III this city, and on the night of
the cyclone he came over to attend
the meeting. When the tornado
seized the structure in its grasp and
rent 1t to pieces, he was among the
G. oWd gathered on the third floor.
Though the others rushed panic
stricken hither and thither in a fran
TIC effort to escape, the boy with the
charmed life remained quietly stand
ing In the place where he was when
the proceedings were interruDled.
Amid the roar of the elements the
groans of the dying, and a clashinp

as an icicle. The floors fell in and
he went with them, but his guardian
angel was promptly on hand with the

Market street, San Francisco,
is soon to be adorned by
another elegant specimen of arch
itecture which will greatly en-
nance the good appearance of the
principal thoroughfare of the city
ard serve as a monument to the en-
terprise of the owners. The Croker
Estate Company, which is composed
of the heirs of the late Charles
Croker, have determined to erect a
ten story building Oh the gore lot on
the corner of Market, Post and Mont
gomery streets, which will be one of
the handsomest structures. ever
erected on the coast. The building
will have frontage of $50 feet on
Market street and the main features
will be of the Romanesque style,
while the details throughout will be
strictly Italian renaissance and clas-
sic The preliminary plans have al
ready been completed by A. 2.

The trial of the charge of criminal
libel brought by the Earl of Euston
against Mr.. Ernest Parke, editor of
the North London Press, for associ
ating his lordship with the scandals
perpetrated at a house in Cleveland
street, terminated January 16. The
defendant called several witnesses,
but they failed to identify Lord
Euston as a visitor to the house.
LORD Euston, in his cross-examina-
ton, explained how he came to be
there-that his visit was one of
simple curiosity, and as soon as he
discovered the Infamous character of
the proceedings he forced his way
out and left. Mr.. Parke was found
guilty of a criminal libel by the jury,
and Mr.. Justice Hawkins sentenced
him to twelve months imprisonment.
Much dissatisfaction was expressed
with the verdict.

Tobacco crops are fine in the sec

ripe; some Of my neighbors are cut

good luck in setting the color that
is most saIeable. The lind in this
section is much adapted to the weed.
and there can be as fine tobacco
raised In this county as any where
in my knowing. My little expert
ence in the county Of Pitt teaches
me that we need a top dressing; the
subsoil is open, and the fertilizer
sinks after two or three good rains,
come before the tobacco natures the
crop is cut short for the want of a
sufficient amount of fertilizer or
manure 10 complet' the crop as il
should be. Therefore think top
dressing would be OF great benefit,
| shall try it another year.
We have had beautiful showers
up TO the present time; corn u good

fine as they ever saw at this season

The Fourth in Durham.

The glorious Fourth opened in
earnest in Durham; the street cars
were run TO the Park, and in q short
time the Odd Fellows and invited
guest we're safely landed where
there was no lack Of good things;
it was an all-day celebration. Pre-
psrations for this barbecue had
been absorbing the attention Of the
Odd Fellows for q short while, and
liz all did not enjoy themselves it
was not the fault Of those who had
the good things in charge. IL was
a gay and glorious time at the Park
beyond adoubt, and those who failed
TO put in an appearance within the
confines where Trinity College will
soon be built, missed a rare treat.
Like the people Of Durham, and par
ticularly Of this noble Order, there
is no limit 10 the amount of pleas
ure they can crowd into one sday
when they put their heads together.

July Weather.

The report of the New England Meteor
oligical Society says that .he temperature
of New England for the week ending with
July 4th. 1890. has been at, or above the
average throughout the section and the eff
feet on all growing crops has been favor
able, especially to corn. 1t has been the
warmest week of the season, during both
the days and nights.
PRECIPITATION. The precipitation has
been below the average, except in some
localities in the South where the showers
on the last part of the week have been
quite heavy, and in northern Maine and
New Hampshire where the amount of rain
fall has been equal to or slightly above
the normal At Hanover, N. H., nearly
an inch of rain fell on the Pad, and about
an inch in Connecticut on the 3rd. In
Maine the showers have lodged heavy grass
to some ext MT. Throughout. all the cen.
trail section of New England no rain fell
during the week till the End, or 3rd, and in
some localities none hal fallen for two or
three weeks. 1t was getting quite dry, 80
much so in Vermont that corn leaves were
rolling up. and the rain though light has
done vast amount of good
SUNSHINE. The sunsl inc was in excess
during all the first part of the week except
in some sections in Msine, whore it had
been almost continually cloudy. The past
two or three days of the week have been
cloudy AMI foggy over nearly the entire
section
REMARKS. The bright sunshine during
the day and the high temperature during
the hight over the greater part of New
England, have wrought much good to the
farmer every here. It is not dry enough
yet to cause serious damage, and crops are
pushing ahead finely. In the northern sec
ton some farmers have been improving
the fine weather by hayirg, while oilers
Lave been rushing their hoeing. The hay
crop there as mentiofed last week will not
be as large as was expe c.ed trlier. 10 the
southern part a large amount Of hay Is be-
ing secured in excellent condition. Oats
are poor everywhere, owing to rust and
blight. although the correspondent at West
Simsbury, Conn, Gays IAN trace of rust
has disappeared from oats, and they now
potato blight in Connecticut, though it is
not serious as yet. In Massachusetts it is
reported that potatoes, early and late. are
looking better than for two or three years.
Corn is growing rapidly now, and garden
truck is in excellent condition. Barley is
being injured by rnst in Vermont, and by
smut in Rhode Island. The apple crop
will probably be light in the South, and
