DEATH CAME QUICKLY.
A YOUNG LADY BENT On Plea
SURE DIES EN- ROUTE.
Tight Lacing, Excitement and a
Weak Constitution AsCribed
as some of the Causes.

Miss Lula Vsuhn, Of Gonzales. and
Miss May Richter, of Hsrwood, left
their respective homes Monday morn.
ing for San Antonio, where they ex-
pected to spend q jolly Fourth ofJuly.
Miss Vsuhn, being acquainted with
all the railroad men ON the Southern
Pacific, her mother keeping board
ing house for them, was of course
friendly to the crew on the train on
which they rode Monday, and
the conductor, one brakeman and
the two girls were having
. great time, until they reached q
point between Seguin and Converse.
Miss Vauhn became quite sick and In
o laughing way suggested that the
quartette repair to the platform,
which they did. While they were
enjoying themselves to the fullest ex-
tent, the young lady, Miss ", fell
over and was apparently dead. She
was taken into q coach and q doc
tor took her In charge. When
they arrived here she was taken
to the residence of Mrs. Kissie
O'Brlan, Sl6 San Marcos street, and
Doctor Amos Graves, Jr., was called.
He, with the assistance of other ply
sicians, endeavored to save her, but
later in the night she died.
Her mother was telegraphed for
and arrived Tuesday morning. The
girl is not quite sixteen years OF age
and the case indeed is q sad one.
Mrs. Vsughn said to repor ter
this morning that before leaving
home Monday Lula purchased .
very tight corset and laced
herself until it was almost impossible
to breathe. She is also entering into
womanhood and her mother thinks
that this, together with the tight
corset, excitement and lack of food,
caused her death. The statements
relative to the train scene were given
by Miss May Richter and the train
crew, and possibly mystery is con-
nected with the strange death. She
had no signs of having been poisoned,
still it is thought by some of her
friends that such was the case. She
was buried this mornin 9 at 10 O'Clock.
The doctors in the case diagnosed
1t as being conf estion Of the brain.

FIRE TODAY.

Ex-City Engineer Maury's House
Reduced to Ashes In Short
Order.
Today, at HAS O'Clock, the fire de.
partment was called by alarm box
l34, at the Lone Star Brewery, to fire
in the two. story frame yelling owned
by Mr.. s. p. Maury, ex-city engineer,
out on the Rock Quarry road, near
Captain Smiths residence. The dis
lance to the fire was great, but the
firemen responded as promptly as
they could. When they arrived their
efforts were nugatory, as the flames
had secured full control of the edifice,
which soon was q total loss. The
building was unocoupied, the last
tenant being Mr.. Geo. f. Lupton, who
was to have purchased it, but gave 1t
up, Mr.. Maury is in Virginia and has
been appraised of his loss by telegraph.
The building was valued at about
$4,000. The cause of the fire Is I'M
known, and therefore 10 charged to
the convenient iueer diary.

THE GRANT MONUMENT.

The laying of the cornerstone of the
General Grant memorial yesterday was an
appropriate celebration of the birthday of
the illustrious dead. 1t permits the hope
that many more years will not elapse be-
fore the same anniversary is more appro-
priately observed by the dedication of the
completed work.
The delay in erecting this monument
has been the subject of sharp sarcasms at
the expense of the metropolis which
undertook the monument. But this evil
dence that the work is actually in pro-
gress, if followed up by active efforts for
its earliest completion, will earn the ap-
proval and sympathy of the whole nation.
Grants fame is the property of the
whole country, as his services were
for the benefit of the entire nation.
The site of his monument has a promi-
nence appropriate to his national char
acter. and if it is crowned in the near
future with fitting memorial the nation
need no longer feel the discredit of his
unmarked grave. The cornerstone cere-
monies yesterday contain the promise
that this will be done. When it is COM
pleted the country will cheerfully accord
to New York the credit of having fulfilled
her pledge.

THE BIRTHDAY BANQUET

The annual banquet of the Americus
Club last night was as usual pleasant
and fitting celebration of the birthday of
that great American, U. S. Grant From
a social point of view there was every op-
portunity for keen enjoyment. Politically
speaking the gathering was no less sue
cessful. The attendance of able thinkers
and brilliant speakers was well up to the
average, and mental and physical food
We'd with one another for supremacy.
The strength Of the club is growing and
its political influence bids fair to become
national rather than merely local in its ex-
tent The personnel of the guests changes,
but the cause which they represent re-
mains the same. Four years ago General
Harrison was present and was thought
little likely to become President. More
improbable things have happened than that
the next Chief Magistrate shall prove in
November to have been among the visitors

PITTsBURG,s NAVAL NAMEsAKE.

The report that Secretary Tracy is de-
batting whether to name the $500 ton
cruiser No. IL, or the $500 ton cruiser No.
6, "The Pittsburg" indicates that this city
will soon be represented by a namesake in
the new navy. 1t also warrants sugges-
tion as to the harmony of things in select
ing the namesake OF the Iron City.
That Pittsburg is entitled to a credit
able representative in the navy for which
she hss furnished so much of the material
does not require any demonstration. As
THE DISPATCH said long ago, when it first
agitated this question, it need not IN the
natural fitness of things be the largest,
swiftest or most beautiful vessel of the
navy, for Pittsburg does not claim to be
the chief among American cities either in
size, speed or external aGtractiveness. But
vessel which is superior in stanchness,
which meets the winds of adversely un-
shaken, and does whatever comes as her
work sturdily and thoroughly, will be an
appropriate representative on the seas Of
the characteristics of our community.
Cruiser No. IL, generally known as "The
Pirate" is expected to be such vessel.
Secretary Tracy will exhibit his usual
good judgment by naming her after the
iron center of the country. When he does
so our people can show their appreciation
of the honor by coming 70 the front with
stands of colors, services of plate and
other embellishments for our naval name.

CHANG ES THAT ARE MISSED.
Commerce With the Southern Countri es
Neglected by Americans.

Commerce With the Southern Countries
Neglected by Americans.
CHICAGO. April 27.-"1 have just recently
come up from South American and Mexi-
can trip, "said Mr.. Heiliger Wegant, of New
York, at the Grand Pacific. yesterday.
"What was most struck with was the way
in which we Americans have neglected COM
merce in those countries. Never till made
a personal inspection had 1 an idea OF the
short-sightedness of American merchants.
We might just as well be selling millions
more annually to our Southern neishbors
than we do The bulk of trade is, of course,
in the hands of the Germans, French and
English. Among the ladies OF Rio de Japeiro,
Paris fashions are adopted and Partisan
houses have established magnificent stores.
English dress goods too, are largely bought
"The Germans have an immense trade on
staples and the common necessities of lie.
In the provinces German merchants cer-
tainly control the bulk of trade. They know
how TO go at it. Most of the partners of to-
day were the clerks of years ago. They have
studied the peculiar needs of the people and
supplied the articles. Now Americans will
go down there and sell by sample or photo
graph. Your German merchant, having
studied his subject. has his goods on hand to
supply at short notice. He establishes con-
fidence and extends credit Americans won't
do this, and thereby they lose trade In the
City of Mexico practically the same state of
affairs exists, except that for instance our
cago firm recently furnished the first fast
printing press ever used by the Mexican
Government. The engineer who designed
the machine went down there to set it up,
and spent six weeks in trying to instruct a
crack 'rreaser' machinist how to run the.
press. Those fellows don't take kindly to
intricate machinery until the knowledge OF
it is hammered into them"

of the metal for construction under water
by its resistance to corrosion, its great
strength and its light specific gravity, all
indicating its usefulness for the sheathing
of vessels, has been referred to.
On this authority it is interesting to re-
count the leading and important qualities
of the new metal. They are: Its relative
lightness; its non-tarnishing quality; its
extreme malleability; the ease with which
it can be cast; its influence and value in
alloys; its high comparative strength and
elasticity; its high specific heat and its
conductivity of both electricity and heat.
These qualities invest the reduction of its
price to the level expected by Mr.. Hunt
with the importance of an industrial rev.
