RAIL ROAD NOTES.

The party of passenger agents rep
resenting the Wander bilt lines arrived
In the city on the I. & G.. n. this
morning. They were expected this
evening.
Two engines are doing the work for
three on the south end of the Inter.
national and Great Northern. One Is
in the shops and the other two do its
work.
Both local and through freight is
very dull at present on all of the
lines passing through this city.
The 1. & G. N. railroad company
will probably erect large new ware
house soon. The old one is entirely
too small.
The s. A. P. conductors say that
the trouble on that road is not settled
by O'Brien leaving the employ OF the
company.
J. NJ. Knight, city ticket agent of
the s. P, has received a fine new
clock and has hung it up in the s. P.
city ticket office.
Six cars of cattle, east. bound, passed
through the city over the S. 2. this
morning.

Sent Him Tn.

In Judge Noonan's court yesterday
afternoon the jury in the case of Yg.
nscio Castro, on trial for attempted
highway robbery, on South Laredo
street, the night Of Sept l6., returned
verdict of guilty, assessing his i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary at five
years. When the verdict was read .
the mother of young Castro burst in
to the widest grief and mother and
son clasped each other in fearful
embrace aud wept together for some
minutes. 1t was an affecting scene
which the jurors did not care to wit
ness and left the court room as soon
as possible,

The LIGHT is in receipt of letter
from Mr.. J. NJ. Emerson, Jr., calling
attention to a statement made in the
LIGHT of the Goth of November con-
corning his divorce suit and the award
of the court. Mr. Emerson says that
the statements there made are gross.
Iy incorrect, that Mrs. Emerson has
not been allotted the custody of all
the children, that she has not been
allotted one half of the estate, and
that she has not been given the man
agement of the children's portion of
the estate. Mr.. Emerson says that
Mrs. Emerson has bill of sep
aration. not a divorce; that the
division of the estate never
was preached in the courts, although
at the beginning of the trouble he
offered sucn division which she re-
jected. That the only question now
pending is one OF alimOny, and that
testimony is to be taken on that mat
ter and then the award will be made
by the court. The LIGHT has had no
intention of doing either party to this
difficulty an injustice, and has been
particularly careful to avoid publics-
ton of the sensational reports which
have appeared in other papers in this
city, believing these reports largely
without foundation in fact. The
award of the court as stated in the
article of Nov. Goth was accepted at
that time as correct by Mr.. Emerson's
business associates here.

ECHOES FROM WEST END.
H'DQ'Rs DAILY LIGHT,

gladly give up writing a long lit
ter today, and let the LIGHT itself do
Justice TO the largest indignation
meeting ever held in San Antonio.
1t was IN Judge Kings district, last
ly upheld our grand jury, now incar-
cerated in a dungeon cell, because a
poor bailiff is supposed to have been
disrespectful to court. 1t was no
mouse of an effort, but q mountain of
success; although the judge himself,
his dear friend the mayor, P. 81. h.
and Isadore were not not noticed
among that vast and orderly multi
tuds, composed of doctors, hon est law.
yers-not too many-mechanics, ar
tisans, butchers, bakers, bankers, car
penters, retail and wholesale dealers,
up to the president of the board of
trade. If "Freedom shrieked when
Kosciusko fell" with what APPALLING
sound will it manifest its sorrow now,
when II of our best men are held i'm
prisoned, for the imagined error of a
18th, who swears he meant not dis
respect or contempt to the court, that
placed itself first In contempt of Judge
NoOnan's court, by failing to appear
and answer on November 10th, when
cited to do so, before his grand jury
legal body before which the great
democratic president, Tom Jefferson,
of all the Z. s., bowed in obedience,
and about which the republican R.
B. Hayes is credited with having
that he was then bigger
/ l~f, I,,tx
the White house. If a person does
not appear when summoned to serve
as juror, he is fined for contempt, if
he does and tries TO do his duty. he
fined or imprisoned on the flimsy
plea that a civil baiIift, was not
quilted with the necessary intellect
ual power, to know how properly to
approach rickety bench, at the time
it is occupied by an incum bent
through a means of suffrage so flag.
rantly wrong that the sovereign
power of TeXas-the peOple-have
asked for its correction by giving for
a constitutional amendment to that
effect the highest vote of all the
amendments voted for.
If the administration organ gets
out the rooster because its wish Cthe
grand jury in jaiD is fulfilled, it ought
not TO anger the LIGHT, that with a
short notice filled COnven ton hall
more densed than the last democratic
or repu blican state conventions did.
The LIGHT deserved credit-nOt for
its own republiCanism, in which an
open opponent is far better than a
false frieud-but because it cham
pions the cause of the people, like the
German Stats Zetung, and never
allows the allurements of ring or cor.
poratiOn money to lead it astray.
West End had its full share in
Convention hall last night, they went
home satisfied when informed by
Gen. Russ that the grand jury had all
kind attentions shown them by
Sheriff Mccall during their unde.
served imprisonment. s.

The Double Salary Business.

From the San Antonio Express
"AIderman Beckman's amendment
to the mayors salary ordinance
should have been adopted. If The
Express understands it Alright. the
ordinance leaves the door open to
great abuse OF privilege, that man
elected mayor with an obliging coun-
Gil could absent himself from the CITY
for the greater part of his term, and
draw his salary, while an alderman
was also being paid for performing the
duties of the office. A mayor should
not be entitled to draw his salary
while absent from duty on his own
business or pleasure"

The People Don't Have To.

The Express say: When the citi-

The hotels, boarding houses and room

expected the coming winter will be gay
one in the ancient city. The new Cover
nor and his lady are fond of society, and
the Executive Mansion will be the cen.
tire of gayety during the entire session
of the legislature. The eLete of the State
will attend the Governors balls and
routs, and the old Annapolitan will re
new their remembrance of Others and
brighter days, when the Governors used
to keep openhouse and extend to all q
welcome hand and hearty cheer OF
friendly intercourse with our citizens
and visiting strangers.
The constitution requires the Cover
nor to reside in Annapolis, and we learn
that the new Governor has already read
the State Constitution and pledged him
self to live up TO its requirements in this
and in all other particulars. We antici-
pate, therefore, a pleasant and gay win.
ter, by return to old customs that used
to make Annapolis famous in its pleas
