scHUMAcHER's Congo.
The Retirement of a Faithful and
Efficient officer.

Among the most efficient and
faithful officers of the outgoing adj
miniStratiOn, who was left out by
the new, was Officer Schumacher,
who, if meritOriOus services were
to be given any consideration,
should not only have been retained
but promoted. But in politics the
deserving are the ones who get left,
and such was the fate of Schu-
macher, the man who hunted down
the firebug, landed him behind the
bars and thus saved millions of
dollars worth of property and prob
ably the lives of several human be-
ings, as the firebug Mcdonald was
INSCRIPTIONS and would as soon
have fired house filled with in
fants as any other structure.
Schumacher also has All excellent
record for making many other inn
portant arrests. AS he would have
been retired on the first of next
month and his horse was sick he
concluded to take his congo VOlun-
tarily at once, and on yesterday
evening filed his resignation, which
will of course be promptly accept
ed by the city council, although
the best citizens of San Antonio
regret to see him out of the city's
service.

ACCUSED AS ACCESSORY.

Juan Montez Jailed on a Charge of
Abbetting the Murder of Ortiz.
No indictments have yet been
found by the grand jury in con
nection with the murder of TOmasO
Ortiz murdered at MOntez RincOn,
near ElmendOrf, a week ago, but
Juan MOnteZ, who lives there has
been arrested and jailed on a
charge of being accessory to an aid
ing and abetting the crime. The
two women, JOsefa Davis and
TOmaSa Flores, mother and
daughter, both of whom claimed to
be the wife of the murdered man,
and who, if their claims are both
true, was somewhat of a Norman
himself, are both being held in
custody, but under attachment as
witnesses, although it is expected
that testimony will be developed
that will connect them closely
with the circumstances of the
tragedy.

He May Not Accept.

Last night Police-elect Charles
Schreiner was visited by Captain
j. y. Bennett and rendered the po-
sitiOn of one of the mounted Of

not to accept the offer and told the
captain he would consult his
father. Mr.. Schreiner was anxious
to be detailed as one of the assis-
tant city detectives, and may not
accept any office since he has been
disappointed.

NOTICE.
MARCHANT KNOCKED OUT.
Ernest Reich Administers the Win
ming Blow During the Third
Round.

Another exciting glove contest
took place at the Mission Athletic
club rooms Saturday night, which
occasioned the visit to that place
of about 600 citizens of San Anto-
Mo. The contest was between
Ernest Reich, a local sport, and
Charles Marchant, an Englishman,
who trained Butler for his fight
with Waters few weeks ago.
Before these men entered the
ring the crowd of enthusiastic
sports were entertained by boxing
exhibition, club swing, etc. by a
few of the members of the club.
At the hour set for the fight be-
tween Reich and Marchant,
the latter entered and was applau-
ded by his supporters. He was
seconded by Butler and Dexter
and his bottle holder was John
MCGEE. Reich soon followed his
opponent and entered the ring
amid storms of cheers. His
seconds We're al. Jacks and Ed
Smith. Tommy Ryan was chosen
as referee and Jim Stevens as time
keeper.
First commissioners called
time and the two men rushed to
thecentre of the ring. \ moment
was spent in sparring when Mar
chant made the first plunge, strik-
ing Reich in the left side. Reich
returned the blow with a severe
left handed swing on Marchant's
neck. A few motions We're made
and time was called.
Second rOund-Reich by this
time had well judged the weak
points of his English friend and
was sure of defeating him. Reich
displayed keenness through this
round and received but a few
small taps. Nothing worthy Of
mention was accomplished during
the second round as Marchant
spent his time in endeavoring to
get in one of his hard ticks, while
Reich passed off the moments in
cleverly lodging his opponent.
Third rOund-Reich made a
lunge for Marchant and they
clinched. This again occurred.
Reich, while Marchant was at
tempting to duck from lick, came
out with full force with his
right hand, causing him to
drop. The ten seconds were
almost counted when Marchant
mustered up enough strength and
arose to his feet. One more blow
from Reich's right and the Eng
lish pugilist fell to the floor dead
to the world, and was carried tC
his corner by his seconds, while
cheers for Reich were ringing the
entire building.
Efforts will be made now to have
Butler and Reich again appear in
the ring, but as yet nothin G has
been decided on.

The Sunday Shoots.

At Lakeview yesterday afternoon
the members Of the San Antonio
Gun club held one of the most sue
cessful shoots Of the season. Their
scores were good. The crowd of
spectators was large, and in all the
sport was enjoyable.
The new Powder House Hill Gun
club held their first shoot at the
West End ground yesterday after
noon, being participated in by
about 30 members. The scores
made were good, considering the

BEEVILLE BUZZINGS.

BEEvILLE, Tex, March Is, '93.
We would say word, through
the columns of the LIGHT, to the
hOrticulturiStS of southwest Texas.
Gentlemen, there seems to be a
demand for better organization
in southwest Texas among this
class of the great husbandry world
of Texas, and as southwest Texas
is recognized everywhere as the
trucking region of the state, we
would urge you to take steps to-
ward calling a convention of hOrti-
culturists, to meet at some con-
venient point, the present season,
to take such steps as you may
deem best and most eXpedient,
pointing to the promotion and
prosecution of this branch of the
farming industry, and which prom
Uses such tlattering results. Bee
vile opens wide her doors, and in
vites you to come and spend few
days pleasantly with her people.
We consider this point most ac-
prising members of the fraternity
take the initiation in calling the
much needed convention.
District court will pass to final
adjournment this morning after
three of the latter days of the term
spent in continuing cases and per-
suing the routine of business,
Judge Grimes will leave for home
this morning.
Mr.. Buize the Cotton Seed Oil
Mill man is with us today and
says he is assured of enough stock
being taken to build an oil mill
here. He thinks Beeville one OF
the very best points in the state
for an oil mill. Our people have
been ripe for such an enterprise
sometime, there is hardly a doubt
that we will have it up and in
operation in time for the fall crop

THIS Is BUSINESS.

The City Trustees yesterday had field
day. The board covered itself all over
with the laurels of victory and it deserved
them. 1t resolved that street shall not
lag behind K street in Improvements; that
hereafter awning construction shall be
according to a uniform system-which
costs less to property-owners than to
permit each one putting up these shelters
according to his own fancy, some at one
hight, some at another. 1t signed the
contract for the clear water supply, an
act deserving a hundred-gun salute; it
broke the ice and really set the whole ice
pack afoat by peremptoriIy revoking the
licenses of four saloons reported by the
police as notoriously low and vicious
drinking resorts-and then the board
paused to catch its breath. 1t was enough
good work for one day, to be sure. We
congratulate Messrs. Steinman, Conklin
and Green on their yesterdays achieve
ment-they have added new luster to the
name of Sacramento.

The Contract is Let and the Work
VIII Go On-Notorious Sa-
looms to be Closed.

The proposed improvement of J street
is to go ahead in spite of the 'kicking'' of
some of the property owners along that
thoroughfare. The City Trustees so de-
creed yesterday.
Captain Young had just finished read
ing the minutes of the last meeting when
the Mayor announced that the injunction
suit brought by Jacob Gruhler to prevent
the board from proceeding with the work
of paving street, had just been dis
solved.
eve are now at liberty to proceed with
the work, gentlemen" he added, and then
he asked the clerk if there were any bids.
Mr.. Young had three of them and opened
them. The bidders were the City Street
Improvement Company, A. j. Raisch
and D. Lambert. The Improvement
Company offered to do the work for $780,
100 02, Raisch's bid was S36,642 81, and
mberts S38, $50 o..
MIR. Green moved. that the contract be
awarded to the Improvement Company,
the lowest bidder. He said he would in
sist, however, that the contractors should
not tear up more than two blocks at a
time.
The Mayor explained that this could be
fixed later on. The motion to award the
contract was then voted on and carried
and a resolution of intention to call up
the street was also passed.
On motion of the Mayor, Trustee
Green was authorized to confer with the
electric railway people with reference to
widening the space between the tracks.
