ALL SORTS OF TALK.
None of IL Considered to be Very
Reliable

"You can hear all sorts of talk about
the Arkansas Pass railway deal with the
Southern Pacific" said prominent Off
cial of the former road this morning, but
none of it is reliable. 1t has been rumored
that the deal with the Southern Pacific
was off altogether and that negotiations
were pending with the Katy (M. X. e.
To- for its purchase and likewise that the
Santa Fe was about to gobble up the S. A.
p. BY night it is likely to be reported
sold to the Fort Worth and Rio Grande or
the North Pole Narrow Guage. The fact
of the matter is that all of this it the merest
bosh. The deal between the S. A. p. and
Huntington's system is still on and the
transfer will be made and believe before
the end Of the month"
Speaking of the Llano extension the
same gentleman said: Il think that the
sooner the people of the places interested
in securing the extension, get to work
and secure the bonus required, the better
it will be, but doubt whether any OF the
subscription committees will get to work
before the transfer of the Arkansas Pass to
the Southern Pacific takes place, al
though see no reason why they should
wait because the connectian could be
made just as easily with the s. A. P. at
or near the Guadalupe or any where else,
whether it was in the hands of the South
ern Pacific or not.

CAN'T WORK THE RACKET.
The Fire Alarm Fails to Break up
the Paschal Meetings

"There is a racket-a racket that is
being worked that fails to be efficacious
now, although it used to be worked sue
cesSfully in former campaigns" said a
we'll known politician this morning TO a
reporter for the LIGHT.
"What is the racket you are speaking
about?" asked the reporter.
"Why it is scheme to break up the
Paschal meetings with fire alarms. Have
you noticed that there have been several
test alarms recently just when large Pas
chal meetings were in full blast and the
enthusiasm was greatest? Well, the as
Sembled SovereignS did not wild
ly scamper in search of the imagin-
any conflagration, but they stayed where
they were and endorsed Paschal.
I'm old times this racket used to sue
coed every time when the volunteer fire
system was in vogue, because humanity
exceeded patriotism and most of those
who attended the meetings belonged to
the fire department and ran TO save the
property which they believed to be
threatened.
I'm cases of genuine confederation quite
large number of volunteers still go to
the fires, and they also render the paid
department valuable aid"

REGISTRATION COMPLETED.
Scenes at the Closing of the Work
Last Night.

Yesterday was busy day with Regis
trar Santleben and his forces, but they all
cheerfully bent to the work and kept it up
until the hands On the dials and the great
bell of the city clock indicated the hour OF
eight o'clock p. m.
All dav the concourse OF suffragans
passed through the aisle, while early in
the morning all doubts that the total
number OF names of voters inscribed on
the roll would not reach that Of the last
election, vanished.
The fear that San Antonio would not
hold her own with the other metrOpoll
subsidized and when the books were closed
with loud bang she was found to have
surpassed her previous registration to the
extent of a hundred and thirty-twO, the
total at the last registration having been
Sab. while the total of the present one
was S,555.
The, registrar ran out of certificates a
few minutes before closing and had to use
by changing suitably the old ones used in
the previous registration.
There was the usual spectacle of the
man who had the suns rising and setting
regulated by his watch but came in just
In time TO be too late by the big time piece
in the dome of tamale hall.
When the work was over all Of the
clerks felt great relief from the strain,
and night clerk of the police force Joe
Kohr exclaimed: II never was so glad in
my life as / am that this work is DONE"
and every one else felt the same way
The Registrar, Santleben, then took his
force over to the Morgan City restaurant
and gave them supper.
1t has been suggested that the city
should have large number of lists of the
voters printed for distribution at the cleo
ton, although the lists would he very
volumnous. They would, however, be of
great convenience to all of the voters.

is going to come in good second"
swell how about the starters in the
other events p,
skTI can't tell until l see the entries,
when they are trotted out, but Paschals
running mates mostly will be the favor
ties and If the right kind Of teams are
hooked up to trot in:his class, they will
set pace that the others will find it
mighty hard to catch up to-"
