BADLY INJURED.
j. .. Carr Meets WIN a PaiHFr!
Accident this Morning.


Accident this Morning.
This morning at 9:3O o'clock Mr.. j.
s. Carr left his office in his cart,
drawn by q large brown horse, aud
started TO the ]. Il G. n. depot to mail
a letter. He was in u great hurry
and drove very rapidly, and as he
reached the corner of San Fernando
and Medina streets one of the wheels
of his cart struck large road wagon
and broke the axle of the cart. The
horse naturally became frightened
and ran off st a rapid gait. Mr..
Carr's endeavors to check the speed OF
the animal were In vain, and wnes 1t
had gone several squares it ran into
tree, threw the occupant out and
broke loose from the shafts and
proceeded to run. Mr.. Carr, when
first discovered, was In very criticas
condition. He was taken in hack
to his residence on the corner. OF
Tenth street and avenpe Z, and
physician was summoned.
In the fsll his left side was badly
injured, his shoulder dislccated and
his face badly bruised. He is not
seriously hurt, but it will be some
time before he will be able to attend
to business. The horse was caught
by James Villanueva at the corner of
Cameron and West Commerce streets.

THE FIRST CLOCK
Ever Owned by the City is Now
Ready For Operation.

Ever Owned by the City is Now
Ready For Operation.
San Antonio is not the worst city in
Texas. 1t has now several handsome
public buildings and "still there's
more to follow" One OF the things
long needed here is q town clock and
one mas been placed in the handsome
tower of the city building, which
nears the canopy and is in sight OF
any portion of the city. The clock is
from the Howard Watch and Clock
Company, of Boston and is hand
some piece of machinery. On the
floor of the little room OH which it Is
placed, large square shaped place
IL shaped off in which the works OF
the clock are placed. Here is where
three cranks are, with which to wind
the clock every eight days. Leading
upward is q long tube or pipe carry
ing the wires worked by the ma
chlnery below tn spot above, where
four smaller tubes scatter aud extend
to the four faces Of the clock, regulat-
ing the hands. Just below the pro-
lection of the four pipes on the eastern
side is the small bell, while directly
west hangs the large and sweet toned
bell which will De used in striking
the hours. From the works below,
there extends wire up TO the bells
and when the even hour comes the
wire is pulled a chime OF the two bells
will follow after which the small
bell will cease striking and the larg Q
bell Will continue to toll the hour
10 the fourth story of the building, Is
weights are hung In small elevator
shaped shalt, which are very Deces-
sary to the accuracy OF the timepiece
These weights are connected with the
clock above by large wire rope.
When the windows are painted and
the carpenters are through, grand
illumination will be had, probably
tomorrow night. Then the tower will
be lighted by electricity and the dis
play will, no doubt, be grand.
In all, this clock has been pro-
nounced as one of the most complete
in the country and is quite an I'M
prOvement to the city.
J. P. Vreeland, the man who was
sent by the Howard company TO place
the clock correctly, says he will have
the entire work completed today and
when the carpenters are through
their work, the bells will sound the
b ours day and night.
