FAIR PROGRESS.
What was Done in the Opera House
Last NIGHT.


Last Night.
The managers of the Grand
opera house very kindly opened
and lighted the house at their own
expense last night for the meeting
called by Chairman Weiss, at which
his report was to be presented.
Before the meeting was called to
order a little canvass of opinions
was had, with the general under
standing arrived at that in view of
the band concert then in progress,
rendered to the visiting bankers by
the local organization, it would be
wise to defer the presentation of
the report to future meeting. Mr..
Weiss took the chair, called the
meeting to order, and requested
the secretary, w. S. Messmar, to
state the situation. This was done,
and on motion, the meeting post
poned action until Saturday night.
Short addresses were made by the
Chair, Alderman Mackey and Jos.
BOelhauwe, all of which were very
encouraging in their tone. The
question of employing a band and
drumming up rousing meeting
was moOted by the Chair, and after
some informal talk as to ways and
means, Chas. f. Hicks offered to
take the matter in charge, furnish
a four-horse team for the use of the
band, and raise the necessary
funds for their services. His offer
was accepted by the meeting, with
thanks. All who were present en-
gagged to act as special commit
tee to secure full attendance, and
the meeting adjourned until s 80 p.
m. Saturday.

New Orleans Charity.

A private letter from New Orleans
states that game of baseball was played
in the Crescent City last Sunday between
mines made up of newspaper men of that
city. The game was played for charity's
sake the proceeds going to the Newsboy's
Home of New Orleans, and amounted to
5000. The teams were distinguished as
the Reds and the Blues, and the game
was won by the former by a score of 80 to
s. in the remarkable short space of only
three innings. The Reds scored 81 runs
in the first inning. The teams had a host
of fair sponsors and everybody in New
Orleans contributed to the success of the
occasion.

Written for the LIGHT.
HE LOVED HER JUST THE SAME.

Saint Peter with his golden key,
Had locked the golded gate,
When up they stepped sinner bold,
Who asked If he were late.
Too late TO enter here my friend
Saint Peter SADLY said,-
The man enangered then replied,
I'D like to punch your head"
Then spake Saint Peter to the man:
You should not be so rude:
Remember | am keeper here,
And-change your angry mood"
The man then ventured to rejoin
In quite jovial way,
well, If | can't get in this time,
will some other day"
The saint could scarce suppress a smile
The sinner laughed out loud,
When, 10, before them there appeared,
An angel in a cloud
whence earnest thou, o, angel fair!
And why?'--the man enquire1,
Il came"-the angel sweetly liSped
Il came to be admired"
at that's the case" the man returned.
You came quite opportune,
| haven't seen an angel since
The day | left the moon.
That angel was my loving wife,
Eliza was her name,
And though she sports no wings like you
| love her just the same"

SHOT THROUGH THE BRAINS
A WELL KNOWN CONTRACTOR
COMMITS SUICIDE WHILE
ALONE.
Financial Trouble Alleged to be the
Cause-His Wife is North
Coroner's Verdict.

! AT 3:l5 o'clock yesterday after
noon, just after the LIGHT had
gone to press, Wellington Smith, a
we'll known contractor, took his
own life by firing a bullet through
his brains, while in his room, No.
80, BeXar apartments.
| At the hour above stated a lady
residing in an apartment adjOin-
ing that of Mr.. Smith, heard the re-
port of a pistol, and gave the
alarm over the house. a bell boy
rushed to the room occupied by
Smith and saw him reclining in a
chair, covered with blood, and
breathing heavily. DR.. Hicks was
quickly summoned, and after a
thorough investigation, stated that
the man was fast dying. Justice
f. Gritf Jones was summoned, and
was on the scene of horror in a
short while after the call.
Smith had entered the room one
hour previous to the time of the
shooting. He had evidently made
preparations to do some writing,
as he was seated at his desk with
paper, pen and ink near by.
The drawer to the desk was partly
open and the revolver was lying in
it, the handle pointing downward, |
having fallen there after the fatal
shot had been fired. The bullet |
was found underneath the bed, |
having entered the right side of the |
head just above the temple and
coming out at the opposite side.
Both holes We're large and a guam
tity of blood and brains Oozed out. |
Smith was breathing very heavy |
when the coroner arrived, and con-
tinued for several hours after the |
bullet had pierced his head.
There is really no cause assigned
for the rash deed, but it is believed
to be financial trouble. a letter
was found in his pocket addressed
to Mrs. J. A. Smith, his wife, from
the banking house of +. G.. Frost,
requesting her to call at the bank
as soon as convenient. No other
paper was found which would in
any way lead to the cause of the
a paper containing six grains of
also an empty paper
which had contained that life de-
strOying drug, were found in a
bureau drawer, and this fact leads
to the belief that Smith had con-
templated suicide.
Wellington Smith, aged about
As years, is contractor for oil,
gas and artesian wells, making
speciality of artesian we'll digging.
His original home is in Indiana
polls, Ind, where he has an office.
He has been in San Antonio for
the past year, and has done a good
business in his line. He was
member of the Travis Park Metho-
dist church, and was very piousl
He has made host of friends and
acquaintance during his sojourn
in the city, always having a kind
word every one, and his sad end
will be shocking blow to all who
knew him. Mrs. Smith, who is a
very amiable lady, is now visiting
in indianapolis, their former home.
a telegram was sent to her in
forming her of the suicide of her
husband, and she will be here as
soon as possible.
Justice Griff Jones held an in
quest this morning and his verdict
was suicide.
