ABOUT POLICE OFFICERS
The Old Men Will be Given a

missal Repretted
missal Regretted.

A reporter for the LIGHT called at the
eli ty clerks office at noon today and was
informed that some of the police officers.
recently appointed had not qualified and
that they would not until they received
instructions from the city marshal. How
ever their bonds are b)ing made out
ready for qualification at any time.
Captain DruSe was seen this morning
by LIGHT man and asked regarding the
police, the appointment OF assistant de-
tectiveS and mounted mea. He said:
Il have been greatly bothered since
the appointment of the police officers,
each man being eager to be a mounted
man or an assistant detective. As yet, |
have not decided as TO who ! shall APP
point. There is a courtesy that is due the
old police officers and that is, give them a
few days to look for situations. Many of
them have families and it would not be
dealing fairly with them, were we to put
the new men on at once. 1t will prOba-
bly, be ten or fifteen days before the new
entire force will he on duty"
Captain T. j. Hughes is very sorry to
lose his old stand byl Mike O'Meara, and
stated this morning that he is one of the
best detectives in the south. He has re-
tanned the services of Mr.. O'Meara, TN
Til the lSt of April. Captain Hughes has
no preference for his assistants.

Special to the LIGHT.
AUSTIN, Texas, March l6.-The
Senate passed the ticket scalper
bill this morning by a vote of 20 to

demption of unused tickets or
parts thereof by the railroads. The
bill now goes to the House, and,
while there is a good deal of OppO-
sition, it is still believed the bill
will go through safely. Railroad

SAM JONES'
Runaway Daughter to Re-Marry Her
Divorced Husband.

NEW ORLEANS, March I7.-An
Atlanta dispatch says: Mails from
Gainesville today were freighted
with delicately tinted envelopes
which contained an Enclosure upon
which the following announcement
was found; "Rev. and Mrs. Sam p.
Jones requests your presence at the
marriage of their daughter Annie c..
to Mr.. William NJ. Graham, Thurs
day evening, March 10Th, at home,
Gainesville, Ga, 1893" There is a
story behind this announcement
which gives it more interest than
it would otherwise have. Mr..
Graham was at one time private
secretary of Rev. Sam p. Jones and
in the early part of that
gentleman'S career rendered him
great services. This threw him
much into the family circle.
One afternoon the secretary was
missing as we'll as the preachers
budding daughter, Miss Annice.
The couple were next heard of in
Chattanooga, where they had be-
come man and wife. The union
thus made was unhappy, however,
and a separation took place fol-
lowed by divorce. Now it seems
that the couple will come together
again.

Raised a Storm in the House-Much
Discussion Ensued.
Special to the LIGHT.
AUSTIN, Tex, March 16.-Quite a
stir was attendant upon a prayer
by Chaplain Pennington in the
House this morning. He called
for divine aid to open the eyes of
those who allowed the love of
mOny to be balanced against virtue.
McLemOre, of Corpus Christi, along
with some other members objected
to this insinuatiOn against the OPP
pOnents of the bill providing a home
for fallen women, introduced res
olutiOn that the Objectionable
words of the prayer be eXpunged
from the prayer in the journal.
For half an hour the House was
in an uprOar. Many advised
doing away with printing the
prayer in the future, said the chap
lain had no right to dictate to leg
islators, etc. During the course of
the argument Moody said: "This
matter has gone to heaven, and is
out of order on EARTH" Speaker
Cochran replied: 81 have not been
there yet to know about that" The
excitement died out at noon, and
the House is discussing the valua-
ton of public lands. SHOOT.

Charles Martin and Julian Val
doZ had a combat at saloon in the
tranS-San Pedro district yesterday
and were arrested by Officer Dan
iels. They were before the recorder
this morning and Martin was fined
$40. The ease against Valdez was
dismissed.
Mrs. NJ. Gagen was arraignCd be-
fore the recorder on the charge of
being disOrdcrly. The evidence
went to show that Mrs. Gagen met
Mrs. W. w. Walling on the street
last Sunday after church was out,
and began to talk to her regarding
an adopted child of Mrs. Gagcn's,
who is now living with Mrs. Wal
ling. \ telephone message was
sent to the police station and the
mounted officers arrested the old
lady. This morning she was sent
to Jail, for 30 days not being able
to pay the $50 fine assessed.
II. W. Mullaly has been arrested
twice on the charge of running a
theatre without n license, the last
time having been arrested on an
alias warrant. He appeared before
Judge McAllister yesterday and
stated that he thought the asses
ment was paid. Captain Bennett
went to the city collectors office
this morning and learned that the
money had not been paid in that
office. AS Mr.. Mullaly did not APP
pear in court, a second alias war
rant was ordered for his arrest and
the officer was charged to take a
bond with two good sureties.
Ed Davis and Donate Del Angel
were before the police judge this
morning on the charge of fighting,
having been arrested by Officer
DiaZ at the Bella Union theatre
yesterday afternoon. Itseems that
| the Mexican became angry at a
negro, and Davis took up the fight.
A chase was made for the latter by
Del Angel, when finally Davis
picked up a rock and hit Del Angel
over the head, inflicting very deep
and ugly cash. He was taken to
Cohen's drug store where a physi-
clan dressed the wound. Judge
McAllister fined each $40 for the
Offense.
1t was learned during court that
Davis was arrested and convicted
of same Offense on the 9TH of De-
cember, and was sent out on the
county roads to work out $50
fine. He escaped on the 9TH of JAN
uary and has been missing since.
When he serves out the fine i'm
posed this morning he will be sent

Tom BrunsOn, colOred, last night,
at Munn's hall. Monday afternoon
Brunson went to the house Of
