A DESPERATE MAN.
A Bexar County jail Bird Found
to be a Train Robber.


1t will be remembered by the
readers of the LIGHT, that a
young man, giving his name as
Charles Loakman, was arrested by
Captain Hughes and his assistants
and committed to the county Jail
.on three charges, two for burglary
and one for theft, alleged to have
stolen watch and other valuables
from Mr.. cambridge, the book
dealer. 1t is now learned that the
young man is not only a thief and
burglar, but desperate "of the
first water"
Yesterday Sheriff Campbell re-
lceived letter from the sheriff of
Barton county, Missouri, to the eff
feet that this man, Loakman,
whose right name is Nathaniel G.
Meyer,is wanted there for attempt
ed train robbery, near Lamar, on
the Kansas City, Fort Scott and
Memphis road.
1t seems by the sheriff's letter,
that Meyer, in company with
Jim Francis, attempted to hold up
a train on the, above named road,
but were not successful, owing to
the quick and effectual work of the
trainmen, who ran after the two
.desperadoes, and shot several times
AT them. Francis was shot and
killed in the pursuit, and Meyer
was wounded in the leg, and as a
consequence was captured and
taken to jail. He remained in
pIiison for some time, when he took
sick and was released on bond, his
father and brother being his bonds
men. When the time Of the trial
rolled around, Meyer was missing
and has since been unheard of I'M
til the sheriff of Barton county,
Missouri, heard of his safe-keep-
ing behind the bars in this county.
Meyer was interviewed yester-
day afternoon and admitted having
been at Lamar, Mo-, and that he
was released from jail on bond
signed by his father and brother,
but claimed that he was not guilty
of attempted train robbery. He
was asked to take off his pants,
which he did and the wound of the
shot received in the pursuit was
plain. Meyer will be, it is thought,
removed to Missouri.
Meyer is short, dark COM
pleXioned man, and was formerly
an employe of the Star Publishing
company. He was also a cores
pondent for the Sunday Sun, as was
evident from papers found on his
person at the time of his arrest.

Justice Adams Court.

The following are the proceed
ings in Justice Adams court:
Mrs. Lizzie CrOssOn against Pom
Cey & Freeman, suit on account for
Sl46. An attachment was sued out
against two horses, as the property
of defendants. II. YOakum inter-
vened and filed his suit for claim
bond, claiming the two horses.
The jury found that the titles
of the horses were in Yoak-
UNI, and that Mrs. Freeman
pay all costs. Mrs. Free
man obtained her rights and judy
ment was rendered for Mrs. Cros-
son in the amount of $l46. The
jury decided that the horses be-
longed to Mr.. Yoakum.
Patrick Tingleton was tried for
theft under 500. He pleaded gull
ty and was placed under a 5000
bond. He went to Jail to await
the action of the grand jury.
The case of l.. S. Berge against

Trouble at Langtry.

Judging from telegram re-
ceived by Special Agent of the
Treasury, Col. r. NJ. Moore, this
morning, there is trouble brewing
at Langtry, Texas. The telegram
asks whether or not the deputy
collector OF customs and his as
sistants have the right to carry
pistols, and asks for an immediate
reply. There has been some trouble,
of late, with the cowboys of that
section, and the Colonel fears it
will again break out.

LITTLE PICKUPS.

Schuetzen meeting tonight at
Mission Garden.
The rain last night was not hard,
but soaked in we'll.
The bank says that it is satisfied,
and the people are also much salts
fed.
Private poker rooms are more
dangerous than the open scrap"
games.
The people of San Antonio are
free once more from the clutches
of the money lender.
The usury law is a dead letter
when the people become hard-up
and must have money.
The LIGHT is informed that the
reported skipper" will return. His
too confiding friends hope so.
Keep your eye on the advertising
columns of the LIGHT. Almost
every branch of business is repre-
sented.
Now is the time to plant some Of
your savings in town lots, while
prices are reasonable. See John T..
Hambleton.
Col. Grigg, the real estate man
of West End, is still in town. He
may be a boomer, but has not yet
been accused Of being a "revival-
ist."
The people are ready to vote for
sewers. water works and electric
lights. Let's hurry up and give
them chance while they are in
the notion.
Don't waste your time on side
walk spectators. When you want
to deal in real estate call on re-
liable firm. Ask for JnO. L. Ham,
bletOn & Co.
The O. f. Miller company, who
have lately established a branch
office in this city, in the Alamo In
surance building, are meeting with
good success so far.
West End pays considerable
taxes, but hauls most of it's water,
and has no fire protection. The
alderman from that section should
commence kicking.
The pigeon holes of the various
council committees are filled with
reports and petitions, and the next
meeting of the council will be
crowded with business.
The next city election will be for
million, and then we may expect
to fight the big corporations. They
are not going to turn loose their
grip on the city without a strug-
gle.
When we get ready to vote for
sewers, water works, and electric
lights we should not forget to in
clude a big market house. The
whole four can be completed in
first class style for a million dol
lars.
There is an old, rusty hydrant on
Castro street, near eX-Alderman
Jake Weber's property on the Ala
zan, that needs opening. This
main, if extended three or four
blocks, would accommodate about
dozen families with water.

Facts to Remember

Increase cf railroad mileage seems tc lessen intereEr in highw avs. but it should not be forgotten that nearly all railroad freight has been previously carted over highways.
 The use of springs on freight wagons greatly diminishes the jot or falling force in road depressions prevents ruts and preserves roads.
 The effects of wheels of large diameter and width of tire is to greatly diminish spot pressure, and the breaking of the road surface Is thus obviated.
 The reduction of cost of transit of per sons and freight by lower prices for liv- cries and fo. hauling would be benefi- cial. and as transportation IS a large ele- ment of cost ;1 every one not a producer good roads would much cheapen living.
 Tha cost cf transporting products or of hauling to market is by tenfold the highest tax now paid by our farmers and huckslerS.

NAUGATUcK, September 12-More than one-half of the tile pipe across the school green has been laid. Although it is 2O-inch pipe, many doubt its capa- bility of carrying of the water that comes down the hills during the heavy storms. As we understand it, the outlet Is yet to be decided upon and will have to be arranged for by the borough.
 Large numbers are here to-day to at tend Walter L. Mains circus.
 Workmen are slating the roof of the north part of the new school building.
 Complaint is made that pupils belong ing to the Union City district are filling up the classes here below the High school grade, causing those of the center district to be barred out for want of room. This probably isIcaused by the center schools not coming under the charge of the board of school visitors as yet, the committee insisting on employ ing teachers that have been refused cer- tihcates by the examining board, and the latter refusing to acknowledge the schools or furnish any supplies until they are removed. ThIs puts the whole busi- ness in bad shape, to the detriment of both teachers and pupils.

Earlier in the day the jury had reported to the judge that there was no chance of their agreeing upon a verdict. Reuben R Brown, the accused, was locked up. but the case will probably be dropped in a few days. Brown is ac- cused of attempting to poison John McNally. They are both inmates of the almshouse at Colchester and there was hard feelings between them over a religious dispute. Soon after the row McNalIy was taken violently ill and it was found that he had swallowed some paris green. He accused Brown of put ting it in his tea,

Wang. "

''There are no flies on Wang" That appears to be the opinion of all who were the fortunate holders of seats at the opera house last night. The opera was constituted to Rmuse. The music is pretty, the dialogue clever and the COS tunes and settings were simply gor- geous. Edwin Stevens, Wang" has the right conception of the part, or would have if he toned down his stage busi- ness" just little. Virginia Earl, as "Mataya," sang and acted well. She looks very like Della Fox, who created the character, and, to her credit be il said, Miss Earl does not suffer by the comparison. Joseph s. Greensfslden, ss "ColOnel Fracasse,' and Ethel Lynton As IF FrimOusSe," are also deserving of special mention. There is a niche in the company in which a good soprano solo, ist would gracefully fit.
 The Spider and Fly"
 M. B. Leavitt's Spider and Fly" will appear at the opera house this evening The piece has been improved in details, while remaining essentially the same as in former seasons, and is now being given by very clever company of es- pecially selected artists. The scenic fea- lures are perfection, and the specialtles are of the very highest class.
 "Streets of New York"
 "The Streets of New York;" with Frank Kllday as Tom Badger, was greeted by large audience at the Ma tional theatre last night. The version of the Badger" of MT Kilday, is more pleasing than that which theatre goers have been accustome ed to see Mir Kilday is well supported, and the play is nicely Philadelphia Daily News.

The Importnnce of Good Ennndatinn..

It is curious fact that the Swiss road. ways of today are really revival of Roman engineering, 10th in method of construction and in selection of routes, a return being made to it after years of mistaken experiments. Consul Adams declares that the most important lesson for us from European experience is that the worst surface with good foundation affords better road than the costliest surface without a foundation. No mat ter how much money is laid out on the surface, the result will be swift ruin un- less it is properly supported from be- heath. But with good foundation the surface may be of gravel, or even of common soil if nothing better is avail able. New York Sun.
