A Bridge Matter.

Col. o. p. Douglass, representing
the new Berlin Bridge Co., is in
the city awaiting the action of the
city upon a communication sent
to the council asking that the bal
lance due on the Crockett street
bridge $4,000 be paid. Col.
Douglass, is a man of some dis
stinctiOn having been retired from
the United States army after the
war with the rank of captain, in
consequence of wounds. He has
devoted himself to bridge engineer
ing and has added several Valu-
able patents to the bridges he re-
presents. In an interview with
the reporter of the LIGHT, Col.
Douglass said the business that
brought him here was to secure
the balance due the Berlin Bridge
Co., the last contract with the city
for the Convent street bridge put up
on Crockett street. This bridge
was contracted for eight months
after the three first bridges built
by the Berlin Bridge Co.; it was
tested and accepted by the city,
and has been used by the city
ever since, although not paid for.
The attorneys of the Bridge Co.,
Messrs. Denman and Franklin, had
prepared to sue the city, but the
colonel has submitted the matter
to the city council before going to
this extreme.
In answer to question about
the way he has been received by
the present city officials, Col.
Douglass remarked that he had
no complaint to make, he found
Mayor Paschal an affable gentle
man, and was impressed favOrably
with the new administration.

rated from her and gave her into
the custody of her father.

father Of the child zen ventre sa-
mere" and that he has been
wronged and deceived and that a

THE TROUBLESOME BORDER.
Custom officers Kept Busy Prevent
ing the Smuggling of Cinnamon.

Col. r. NJ. Moore, the special
agent of the treasury, informed a
LIGHT reporter this morning that
the trouble which has been exist
ing along the Rio Grande border,
about the smuggling of Chinese, is
increasing, and that he was almost
hourly receiving kilograms from
the Federal officers, asking advise.
at seems" said the Colonel,
"that there is a determination on
the part of the Chinese to comeiinto
this country regardless of our
laws. They even go so far as to
dress in Mexican costumes, cut off
their hair and try to cross the Rio
Grande, as Mexican. 1t is thought
that there are men along the Dor
der from Eagle Pass to Laredo,
who watch the custom officers and
aid in smuggling the Cinnamon
over the stream, for which, be-
yond doubt, they receive some
little compensation. Word has
been sent to the officers
to arm themselves while on duty
and take every precautiOn to en-
force the law"
In case these men are arrested
for smuggling they will likely be
dealt with seriously by the FEEDER
al court. If a struggled Chinaman
is captured. he will, according to
law, be sent to his native country,
and if he is again detected try
ing to enter the United States, he
will be confined in prison for a
term of not less than one year nor
more than three years.

JUDGE CALLAGHAN ORDERED
To Sign the Court House Bonds by
the County Commissioners.

The court house bonds, which
were delivered to Judge Callaghan
for his signature and deliVerance
to the county treasurer, were not
signed, as has heretofore been
stated, as the Judge refused to sign
them until they were sold. This,
the county commissioners claim,
is an impossibility, and this morn
ing, when the court was in session,
the following resolution was read
and adopted:
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Aug. D, 1893.
"Resolved by the County Com
missioners' Court of BeXar county,
Texas: That the county judge of
said county is hereby instructed to
sign and deliver to the county
treasurer of BeXar county, Texas,
by the 18th day of August 1893, the
One Hundred and Fifteen Thou
sand Dollar Court House Bonds,
issued by order of this court on
the 10th day of May, 1898"
1t is not known what Judge
Callaghan will decide on, but in
all probabilities, he will sign the
bonds.
