GEORGE WAGNER DIES.
AS the Result OF Injuries Received
in a Runaway.

As intimated in yesterdays LIGHT the
injuries received by George Wagner in
the runaway, Wednesday, were Of a Seri-
Gus character and yesterday morning 1t
became evident that there was dangerous
trouble in the brain. DR.. Herff was called
in consultation and it was decided to
operate on the injured man at o'clock in
the afternoon. Mr.. Wagner, however,
became worse, alarming symptoms devel-
oped, and despite all that could be done
he died at o'clock in the afternoon. The
cause of death is aScribed to the rupture
of certain blood vessels of the brain.
The deceased was a member Of the firm
of Wagner Bros. the turner's, on Houston
street, and was 81 years OF age. He was
A. D. B, HesSe- DarmStadt, Germany,
and came here in 1879, commencing bust
ness with his brothers, Henry and Will
liam, in a small way and the firm grad
ually built Up good business and &C.
Quired an enviable competency.
Mr.. Wagner was treasurer Of the San
Antonio Deutscher Maennerchor. treas
urer of the JagerluSt and member Of the
Sons of Hermann, the Knights and
Ladies of Honor, the Turn Nerein and
the Arbeiter Nerein, and the funeral will
take place under the auspices of these
societies.
The deceased was a genial man. an able
mechanic, of strict integrity and OF social
and COnvivivial habits, which made him
popular in a large circle of friends. He
leaves wife, two children, father and
two brothers to mourn his loss.
The funeral takes place from de-
CeaSed'S late residence on the corner of
South Presa and Perida streets at five
o'clock this afternoon.
Strange and sad to relate just two
weeks ago on the day of the deceased s
death his favOrire and youngest child
died after a brief illness from brain fever,
and this double bereavement has given
Mrs. Wagner the kindly sympathy OF
her many friends

Why They Quarrelled.

Two Alamo electric street car men had
a severe alteration yesterday in which
one man used some very rough epithetS
to the other and wanted to get summary
justice upon him. The assaulted party,
however, took all quietly and the irate
individual let him go. No arrests were
made.
If the story told by the angry man is
true there was considerable Justification
for his anger, and as the man has been a
very good and courteous employee the
prOba biitieS are in his favor. His story
is as follows:
ut is true that assaulted the man and
wanted to whip him. He was an old
friend Of mine and when he came here
broke got him job and even diScom-
NODDED my own wife and family to give
him and his wife rooms in my house. As
return for this found out that he had
reported me for some triveal infractiOn Of
the cOmpany'S rules which led the sup
erintendent to repTemand me. This made
me more angry and turned in my badge
and quit the cOmpany'S service. | am
out" now but will soon get something:
its the ineratitude of the fellow that made
me mad

ELECTION FRAUD IN VIRGINIA.
General Discomfort at the Way the
Ballots Are Counted


The Richmond Times (demD TODAY nrints
a leading editorial in which it is declared
that the white people are profoundly dis
contented with that partys management
in Virginia. The article points to the i'm
mense falling off of the white vote in the
of the assertion. I'VE are not prepared to
say" continues the Times editorial, that
our elections are dishonesty conducted.
All that We can say is that there is a gen.
eral belief all over the state that they are,
and the records furnish only too much evil
dence in support of the belief. In the cleo
ton of 1889 between Malone and McKin-
ney We saw results produced in the coun-
altogether perpleXing, and in the election
Just held are likewise results that are in
eXplicable." The Times continues: Now
We want to say, and we want to say it
with the utmost solemnity and impressive
ness, that the foundation stone upon which
Tree representative government must rest
Is honesty and purity in elections. 1t is
vain to talk of and hope for good govern
ment II cheating and fraud in our elections
Is wlnked at or tolerated. If We commence
IN fraud We must end in rottenness If our
eiectlons are unfair they must be made
idlr, whether ii brings negro rule upon us
or not Negro rule is more endurable than
condition which must end in corrupting
our people and turning them into a popu-
lduon OF thieves, and this must result if
hduu is openly practiced and winked at
and condoned"
The Times editorial concludes by insist
ing that the present election law be repeal-
stituted.

body of the association, was made at the
afternoon session. 1t reviewed the work
