A MAD PASSION.

San Antonio Drummer Wrecks Two
Homes.
The Express this morning publishes
the following telegram from Fort
Worth:
IA sensational affair was that which
occurred at the new Arlington Inn
and two respected families have,
through mans mad passion and q
woman's love been plunged into sor-
row. Miss Mary West is a beautiful
and educated young lady of Hillsboro
WHO has been visiting in the city for
some time, and E. P. Thorne is q
married man in employ of q
San Antonio drug house as
q drummer. Some time ago the
young lady fell desperately in love
with Thorne, who did not reveal to
her the fact that he wac q married
man, and when he did, her regard for
him had become so great that she
could not stif1e it. On Friday night
the couple went for ride in the coun-
try and on their return determined to
put up for the night at the Arlington,
where they represented them
selves as man and wife and
were assigned a room. Then,
no doubt, stricken by remorse,
and feeling that they could not exist
without each other, they determined
to die. Thirty grains of morphine
were swallowed By each and the
) Dung lady, when she began to feel
the effects of it, commenced 10 pray.
Her prayers were heard by the house
keeper who made the circumstances
known and the room was en- tered.
Both Thorne and the young lady
were then considerably under the
Influence of the poison and physician
was sent for and from the time of his
arrival he worked hard to bring the
would-be suicides around.
Thorne is well known all over the
state and it is said he told friend he
proposed 70 commit suicide because of
his intense love for the young lady.
He said he dearly loved his wife and
children also and that 1T was the
awful fix that made him contemplate
the deed As soon as resuscltated,
Thorne skipped. Mrs. West and a
brother of the girl came for her to-
night. ThOrne's wife lives in San
Antonio Officers are looking for
Thorne."
Thorne was employed by the San
Antonio Drug company, but the
house has received a special report on
this case and he has been discharged.
Thorne was under the influence of
liquor all the time he was in Fort
Worth, the report says, and did no
work at all. His family reside in
Mexico Missouri.

A DUDE CHARMER
/ Few Other Respectable
Citizens Taken In" BY a
hE'IV' Femala

A Few other RespeCtaDle t?)
Citizens Taken In" BY
Fly" Female.
Several months ago 8 woman, who
is lady in appearance, came to this
city and registered at prominent
hotel as being from Dallas.
She remained at the hotel several
days and then went to house
Keeping on River avenue. She made
the statement to parties that she was
a married wOmsn and that her hus-
band was a travelling man and made
trips home only occasionally. She is
handsome, fairly well educated
and makes a very attractive ap.
pearance on the avenues, always
being dressed in the latest fashion,
and in gay colors. She frequented
tie theatre last season and was quite
a card among the flirting class of
citizens, always being free TO cast
loving looks and exchange sweet
smiles with any and all we'll dressed
men, desiring to indulge in such sup
posed pleasure. AS a consequence,
she made the acquaint auce of several
"bloOds" of the city and naturally
those admirers introduced their
friends to her and finally a large
circle of friends were made. She had
her house furnished in a superb man
ner, and secured "a young lady friend
to stay with her while her husband
was on the road" and the two
carried on in very lively
manner Many of some OF the sup
posed good representatives. of the city
made calls on the parties and have
been seen coming out of the house at
such hours of the night as would
arouse the suspicion OF the passer by.
Numerous complaints were made by
some of her neigh bOrs, to the authori.
ties. Detective O'Meara called on
the woman and told her of the
charges and requested her to leave
that portion of the city. She COM
piled with the officers request and
moved.
The woman, before coming to
this city, was resident Of Dallas and
ran a boarding house there, at which
a number of good people took their
meals. She began flying high aud
Detective Kerby, of that place, who
came here shortly after her arrival in
this city, stated to local detective
that she would bear watching.
Many citizens, who have been
"taken in" by this dude charmer
will no doubt rejoice on learning that
she contemplates leaving San An
tonic.

POLITICAL NOTES.

BY CUR DEMOCRATIC CONTRIBUTOR.
Street sprinkler, Alderman, Capt.
tslist and Ring Leader Santleben is
our registrar.
The commissioners court gave no.
tice that at their August session they
would take the registration business;
Capt. Huston and Chas. Scheideman-
tel were the only legitimate appli-
cants before the court. Some one said
wait, until we can get in one of the
ring-aud August Santleben was
waited for.
Treasurer Froboese is b good and
kind man but he had no official bust
ness around the court house this
morning.
One of Csllaghan's faithful ten got
the plum, without the asking, that
the Express mentioned.
Perhaps the registrar will sprinkle
the streets better now.
Callaghan has got in one of his I'M
aldermen. His being q republicancuts
no figure there.
Riches 90 far in Bexar county,
Santleben was forced upon the county
as registrar against poor and honest
applicants. He Is rich however. Obey
orders.
One more nail in the ring coffin by
the commissioners today.
Gregory. Connor, Russi and G.
Schreiner will probably be the regis
trar's assistants. SCAT.

One OF the tricks OF the clairvoyants
is in the adoption Of some Towering,
high-sounding name, never using the
same name twice in anyone town. A
clever ruSe in arriving at q town IS 10
secure quarters first, remaining In
town quite while before announcing
their "profesh." In the meantime
they visit the various cemeteries, Sc
cure the family names, dates OF births
and deaths and other information
which they cleverly work into the
''sceances" after they open up with
startling effect. Besides this there is d
good deal Of quiet nosing around to
get the bearing Of the people before
they throw ont their single.
The clairvoyants themselves know
full well they are running false
business, as one remarked the other day
after a subject had left:-''There goes
another sucker. pulled him for hve'
One clairvoyant used TO give frequent
