Yesterday evening at about half
past D o'clock darkey went into
Ben Nentwick'S new twO-stOry

Houston streets, where Charles
PernPr and several of his men were
plastering and talking to them
gradually got closer and closer to
Perner'S vest, which was hanging
in the hall, and finally grabbed it
and dashed out at full speed. In
the pockets was a $50 silver watch
and chain and some small coin.
Pernerand his plasterers gave chase
to the flying thief and very large
dog also Joined in the chase which
was a very lively and exciting one,
the men calling: "Catch him
stop him. and the negro kept on
crying the same, as though he was
after some one. This prevented
those the negro passed from at
tempting to stop him, so he ran
unmOlested for some distance, I'M
til the dog got uncOmfOrtably close
to him, when he pulled out a razor
and cut at the animal. The dar-
keys razor SO terrOriZed those per-
suing him that they abandoned
the chase and let the negro 90 with
the booty.

Kicks Against Brother Sport.

To the San Antonio LIGHT:
Why is it that the city will keep
in its employ, as superintendent of
city scaVenger carts, NJ. r. Garcia,
who is himself a gambler, as we'll
as other members of his family,
and who makes it a business to 90
before the grand juries, and play
the part Of infOrmer, but excerpts
himself and brothers. He after
wards calls on the sheriff and col
lects his witness fees of one dollar
and fifty cents each, in probably
90 to 100 cases. Not satisfied with
this, he then calls at the gambling
rooms, among his victims and begs
small contributions. The law
against gambling, should be en-
forced on all alike and we don't
think he should hold a city job
under the circumstances.

The movement apparently was started picma-

their or9ani7a.ion The vast majority OF tie
PEOPLE syinpahizc openly with the rcvclut!onIst''
and most of tie others assist them covcrtly.
The big commercial houses Also are supporting
the enemies Of the present Government, both on
the island and abroad. IijppoNtc's partial tri-
umph is not regarded "a indicative of the event
of the uprising. When the revolutionary forces
shall have been fully organized they will unite
and Lrobably will have the whole country behind
them.
Letters from Port-au-Prince say that no atten-
ton should be paid to statements sent out by
consuL as they are colored TO suit the Government
