MARRIED AN ENEMY.
A Soldier Compelled to W.d q
Woman i'm Open Court.

Probably one of the most sensational
weddings occurred in the Federal building
this morning. that has been heard of in
many years, the contracting parties being
Charles Steeger, a soldier, a member of
the Twenty third infantry band, and Miss
Augusta HOClcpr, a servant woman of
about % years of age
The facts of the entire affair cOnld not
be gathered, but those that were are as
follows: Miss HOclccr. who has been
quite unfortunate in life, was compelled
several months ago to engage as a 'kitch-
en- mechanic" for one of the officers at
Fort sam Houston. During her stay
there she made the acquaintance of this
man StCcgCr. and. as Is sometimes the
case. her admiration for him grew to such
an extent that she protested lOVe-in fact
ii was apparently mutual. Steeger was q
man of worldly ways and his desires to be
immoral with the poor woman became
great. After much persuasion she con-
scented to yield to temptation. not realiz-
ing that at that moment her life was lost
so far as happiness and deccnCy were con-
cerned. A call was made by the man one
night and he succeeded in accomplishing
his long wished for aim.
Shortly after this occurrence he began
to grow distant towards her and not many
days rolled by until he discontinued his
calls. The poor girl was heart broken at
Illt Guut way Ill W ulCll Slt udU Dttu
treated and several times begged her lover
to return to her.
For u time the matter dropped. Several
weeks ago Miss HOelcCr discovered that
it would not be long before she would be-
come a mother. Wild with fright, not
knowing what course to pursue, she de-
cided to confer with an attorney. She
called on Attorney Drought, not long
since, who advised her to make affidavit
against this man for seduction. This she
did, and this morning Deputy United
States Marshal KilgOre repaired to the
post headquarters and arrested Steeger.
Accordingly he was taken before United
States Commissioner Price to answer to
the charge. He pleaded not guilty.
The wronged woman appeared against
him and compromise was effect
ed, with the understanding that the
defendant would at once marry her. Law
yer Drought and an officer of the post
went to the county clerks Office, and Ii
cenSe was secured. Rev. w. w. King, of
the First Baptist church, was summoned,
judge Prices room was cleared of spec
tatorS, and the TWO were Joined In holy
matrlmUny.
As soon us the ceremony was concluded,
Mrs. SJeeger, with tears IN her eyes, left
the court room alone. and started for her
home, feeling that Il heavy load had been
lifted from off her shoulders. Later. say
ten minutes, Steeger left the spot where
the sensational wedding occurred, and
went on his way rejoicing.

FATAL ACCIDENT.
John Collins KiIed W hile Perfol m
ing His Duty.


A very sad accident occurred in the San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass yards last
night about 1880 O'Clock. in which Mr..
John Collins, machinist, in the employ
of the company, was killed, and his help
er, Joe Kellar, badly injured.
AT the hour above stated, Collins got
on fat car in the yards, which was be-
ing backed towards the freight depot. 1t
seems that the car on which he was, was
backed into an open switch where stood
several other cars. The car conveying
Collins and Keller. in moment struck
the train Of empty cars and was derailed.
The occupants were thrown off. Collins
made an attempt TO jump, but the shock
came with so much force that he was
thrown to the ground. Kellar was also
thrown and bruised badly. Collins lived
only few moments. The blood was
flowing freely from his mouth and 1t is
supposed that he died from an internal
hemo: hage, as his body showed no signs
of bruises.
Mr.. Collins has resided in this city for
the past four years and has been board
Ing at No. 10 Probandt street He was
member of the Elk Lodge, Knightsc of
Pythi as, and was highly respected by his
many acQuaintances, being sober and
industrious young man. The body will be
turned over 20 the ElkS for interment.

quest today.

the river to an eyot which was iii
tested with rats, the distance being
forty yards. 1 often used to carry
her across the broadest part of the
stream, opposite my house, at least
100 yards, in a punt and land her ON
the opposite bank, when, regardless
of weather or flood, she would boldly
follow the punt home. She always
swan very low In the water, with
tail erect, and used to shake herself
like dog upon coming ashore. She
was well known in my neighborhood,
and many people used to come and
see the performance Although a
dread of water is instructive in cats,
if brought up ON river side they
lose all fear of wet and, once the
aversion is overcome, love to dabble
about and swim.-Cor. Land and
