A MARKET HOUSE QUESTION,
To the San Antonio LIGHT:

To the San Antonio LIGHT:
The necessity for a new. commodiouS
market house is more pressing than any
other public improvement that can be
suggested.
The old market house on Market street,
is now quite ont of place, and entirely
unfit for he present needs Of the city.
The Military plaza. that once served as
a general open market place has been
taken for the new city hall.
The wood and hay market has been
moved TO Preside Square.
1t seems that the present city admins
tratiOn has been too busy in
spending money on the outside streets
to take care of the prime wants of the
people, and tits doubtful now il the tax
payers would vote cent for any i'm
prOvement unless it is plainly shown that
the Improvement is pressing necessity.
The old market house property should
be sold, and the proceeds devoted to the
fund for new market place.
The proper location for a general mar
ket is open for discussion. and II permit
ted your CORES pondent will take advan,
tage later on, of your courtesy to make
some suggestions as to location. charac-
ter of the building, how it should be paid
for. etc. SUBSCRIBER.

Men and Taken in Transit.
Mr.. N. w. Hunter, of the L. & G..
N. offices, this city, went to Houston day
before yesterday.
The passenger coaches going west over
the Southern Pacific, are always pretty
we'll filled the past few weeks.
The recently appointed general passen
ger agent of the Corpus Christi and
Brownsville road, Mr.. Geo. Vineyerd,
was in the city from Corpus Christi.
The special car containing Mr.. Henry
NJ. Stanley and party was transferred
from the Southern Pacific depot to the l.

passenger at 6 p. m.
The first shipment Of wool for the sea-
son that has come over the Southern
Pacific, arrival yesterday from Uvalde
and billed for local firm. 1t consisted
of only twenty sacks, but it is the earliest
shipment in the season which this road
has had in years.
The Texas Pacific has at last restored
through traffic to New Orleans as will be
seen from the following dispatch from
Dallas: "Since the break in the Texas
and Pacific road the rail way people have
been hard at work in order to effect an
entrance in New Orleans without trans
fer. At 5 o'clock yesterday evening the
work was finished and fort-yeight loaded
cars were transferred to the Crescent
City. An incline has been built at Sell
lerS, one mile above Davis on the Missis-
sippi, and twenty miles above New Or
leans. At this point cars are transferred
to ferry boat and taken to the city.
Now all through freights and passengers
can be taken without any inconvenience,
and the Texas and Pacific people deserve
great credit for so soon re-eStablishing
through connections.

LAssoED THEIR MAN.
An Escaped Convict Chased Through
the Streets and River by the
OfiCera

A large, we'll built negro named Martin
Long, who committed burglary at Eagle
Lake last November, by breaking into a
saloon and stealing sl65 In cash out of the
drawer, was re-arrested by Deputy Pobo-
husky, after an exciting chase this morn
ing. Long was arrested shortly after the
burglary and admitted his guilt, but he
broke Jail before he was convicted and
was not heard OF since. This morning.
while Mr.. w. M. Williamson, formerly
city marshal OF Eagle Lake, Colorado
county, was passing the corner OF West
Commerce and Navarro streets, he noticed
the ex-prisoner with the gang of work
men excayating for the Lockwood
National bank. Williams proceeded
a warrant, and pointed Long out to
Deputy Constable Adolph PObokusky,
who advanced upon his man. The darkey,
however, scented the danger and ran
down the newly opened Crockett street
toward st. Mary's street, until in the rear
of where ErneSt's restaurant formerly
was. He passed through the place, now
grocery store. and ran into Market
street down to the river which he forded
in hurry. The officer, however, kept
up with him and waded across the river
right after his man. AID exciting chase
on the Bowen island In the old Central
park, enSued in which both, the pursued
and pursuer crossed the river several
times. Finally PObokusky cornered his
man, He drove him into the deep swift
stream directly behind Custead's grocery
store, on Garden street, but the negro
would not get out. even though threat
ened with having gun used on him.
He only moved a little closer
to the bank. By this time Bailiff
Simon Herrera, who had also taken part
in the chase ,threwtPobokusk rope, and
that officer finally laSsoed the shiyering
negro and drew him on dry land. When
the fellow reached the >Oil. he gave the
two officers a good struggle, but was
over powered and led down Market
street, where officer j.. F. Brown was
met, who also helped keep down the
burly darkey, for he did not cease his
struggle for freedom, until the steel door
of his cell closed upon him with a snap:
Morton will remain in the county Jail
until the Colorado county authorities
send an officer for him. Constable Pobo-
husky says, that he would have enjoyed
the bath much better had it come on q
warmer day than this morning.

The City to be Enjoined.

A reporter for the LIGHT was this morn
ing shown petition of several Taxpayers,
prepared for filing in the court against
the city collector, to enjoin him from
selling property for city taxes for this
year, petitioners claiming that there are
no legal city taxes to be paid.
The petitions would be filed immediate
ly, but for the fact that until the collector
makes the levy and advertiseS their prop
erty for sale, there is, technically speak
ing, nothing to enjoin, but as soon as the
collector publishes his city tax-sale list,
the injunction suits will pour in on him
by the dozen.

has been on trial for some time, was
finished on Tuesday afternoon, when
the jury, after two hours delibera-
ton, found for the defendant, throw
ing out the plaintiffs alleged claim
against the estate on note of $500.
The commissioners had previously
disallowed the claim, and the jury
confirms the action of the commits
sioners by finding for the defendant
deal of interest; many witnesses have
been examined, and every inch of
ground has been closely contested.
A very complete outline of the points
at issue was given in last weeks

On board Conductor Parkhurst' S
train bound west on Friday morn
ing were a goodly number of Sons,
returning from the encampment.
When the train stopped at Johnson
long line of ''sweet girl graduates"
filed in, and kept coming, till the
conductor, who had not looked for
quite so extensive an invasion, began
to wonder where he was going to
locate them. But the Sons helped
him out. 1t was a clear case of 'un-
conditional surrender" and the blue
coats migrated to the smoker,
where, at a special session held on
short notice, it was unanimously
voted that the next encampment
should be held at Johnson, and the
1ieutenant-colonel was petitioned to
use his influence to that end.

THE FRATERNITIES.

The order of Knights of Pythias
has made a wonderful growth in the
past year, having increased in mem
bership from 263,s47 Jan. L, 1890,
to sos, ,29O Jan. 1, 1891. This is
about II per cent and is a record
that is without a parallel in the his
tory of fraternal organizations. The
Uniform Rank has increased 5000
members during the same time and
now numbers about 35,OOO
Capt. Boyd of the Sons of Veter-
ans Camp at Montreal, who, with
one other delegate from the Cana
dian city, attended the encampment
here last week, reports a member
ship there now of II sons, with pros
poets of a larger number in the near
future. The Vermont boys were glad
to welcome the delegates from the
new camp across the line

very grateful to the citizens of St.

when it comes to matters of this
kind.

appearing in parade on the Fourth

The New England Meteorological

June 26, says:
The precipitation has been general
ly above the average but at Burling-
ton the rainfall was but one-half
inch. The average temperature has
been slightly below the normal.
There have been no exceedingly warm
days and no cold nights. 1t has
been cloudy about half of the time.

that it has been the best growing
week of the season. Grass at Brook

low the crops are looking well and
at West Fairlee the prospects for hay
are good, the grass having grown
