To the San Antonio LIGHT:
Your paper of the 9th is about
right on the question of the bawdy
house ordinance. Our city fathers
only forgot one or two items which
should not have been omitted, as in
my opinion the male frequenters of
the bawdy houses are not whit less
liable to censure than the inha bitan Is.
The great lawyer who framed the or
dInance should have added:
Section 9. And it is hereby Or
dained: That every owner or keeper
of bawdy house shall keep a regular
register like our hotels) of every
transient visitor or all night lodger
of such bawdy house, and have the
names in this register published in
the daily papers, like our hotels have
it done, and
Section 10. Every visitor or lodger
of such bawdy house entering false
or fictitious name on said register
shall be prosecuted according to law.

Fate or a RaiIroader Who Slept
Upon the Car Rails.
Another fearful accident was added
last night to the already full list of
this month. This time Frank Coyle
"a member of the Brotherhood of
Rsilrosd Brskemen, who has lately
been working for the @. II. & S. A.
company was the victim. The man
was said to be drunk yesterday and
about 10 p. m. was seen lying beside
the track, Just below the freight de-
pot about one hundred yards, by the
night foreman, Mr.. Ross, who told
some of the men that there was a man
lying beside the track, and that they
had better take him away. Some of
the switehmen went out and looked
for him, but he could not be found.
It is supposed that he had gotten up
and went over under some fiat cars
which were lying on side track
near by and had laid down under
them. Soon after lat about 10:15 p.
m. the fiat cars were pulled out, when
one man feeling the cars jolting,
told them to stop" that "some cars
were off the track" they stopped the
train and the men got off to find out
the trouble. Mr.. Ross, while walking
by the cars saw the dead mans head
sticking out from under q car, and
said to q companion, I'VE have kill
ed man"
The crew then came up and saw
the body lying between two fiat cars,
where iG was left while a man was
dispatched for the coroner, who ar.
rived at about midnight. Justice
Heron, after viewing the body or
dered Ii to be taken to some shelter,
where it could be dressed and other
wise attended to.
Two cars passed over the body before
1t was discovered. The wheels passed
across the mans breast, crushing
him and almost cutting him in two,
though not much could be seen on
account of his clothes, it was plainly
visible that the man was horribly
mangled. His right and left arms
were both broken.
The following articles were found
on the body of the deceased, and are
now in the hands of the coroner: One
B. of K. b. lodge receipt, dated Chica-
go, March LIST, 1855, and another from
Pixies Peak Lodge No. 80, Denver,
Colorado, French harp, note
book, memorandum, G.. n. &
s. A. switch key, letter
of recommendation from man
named NJ. J. MuIlIgan, and other let
ters from different parties, a piece of
chewing tobacco and SIS so, with sun
dry other articles
The man had light hair, and bald
spot on his head, and heavy sandy
mustache. No one in the crowd was
personally acquainted with him,
though many had seen him staying
around the depot for the last two or
three days. From the place where
he was found is a distance of about 10
feet showing that he had been rolled
that far.
The only relative which the South
sern Pacific railway authorities have
succeeded in locating is Dan CoyIe, In
