A JEALOUS WIFE
Is Knocked Down by her Husband,
Who is Arrested and Fined.

One of the most interesting cases tried
in the police court this morning was that
of A. B. Cowart, charged with striking
his wife. He was tried and fined $25.
COwart is employed by Mrs. Erps, a
machine dealer. Some time ago he had
some trouble with his wife and left her
repairing to the barn where he fixed bed
and has since been sleeping, though he
has provided for his wife and children
giving them $50 per month to live on.
Saturday he did not receive his salary
and did not Send her any money. She
went to his Office and asked for. the
monthly allowance. He gave her s. and
said he would send the rest Mon
day, and requested her to keep
away from his Office. What took
place then could not be ascertained, but
she claims he struck her, throwing her to
the floor. She also intimated in court that
their separation was due to the fact that
her husband had been paying some at
tention TO Mrs. Erps. A reporter for the
LIGHT questioned Mr.. Cowart, regarding
the matter, and he stated that the trouble
was all caused by his wife's jealousy, but
that she has no cause to feel that way
The mayor stated that he would always
fine a man who strikes his wife, and i'm
posed fine of s25.

A Prominent Feature.

One of the recently promoted railway
officials, who has climbed up on account
of his merits, is Mr.. Lucius J. Parks, the
new assistant general passenger agent of
the Southern Pacific Atlantic system,
who was formerly the secretary of Super
intendent G. w. Van Week and on whom
the boys about the Southern Pacific offices
at Houston tell very good one that was
repeated to a LIGHT reporter and is as
follows: "Well, you see Parks has very
prominent feature, and if he always fol-
lowed it, which is his nose, he would have
to travel long distance to get to the end
of his Journey Well shortly after he en-
tered Vans service Van invited Parks to
dine with him. Van has scamp of
boy about eight years old as well as
parrot. During the course OF the meal
Mrs. Van noticed the boy looking very
earnestly at Parks and she said: Son,
why don't you eat your dinner ?' To
which the young hopeful for reply ex-
claimed: "Polly, want cracker :" Parks
flushed up considerably and Vans soup
went the wrong way. The boy only es-
capped the licking he needed by being ex-
cuSed from the table to go and feed the
parrot, which he sweetly told his ma he
had forgot to feed. Parks believes Vans
boy is likely to die a violent death before
he is able to cast his first vote"

On Saturday Mr.. Ben Nentwig
moved into his handsome new
brick two-story house at the corner
Of Bowie and East Houston streets
and many of his friends took occa-

among them the most prominent
were the Krieger-Nerein, of which
Nentwig is worthy member, and
served on Decoration Day as the
marshal of that organization. Ad-
dresses of congratulation on behalf
of the Kreiger-Verein were deliver

to all of which Mr.. Nentwig re-

Did the Saloonltes go TO meeting

"The saloon men must all be at
church today, in the same pew
with their friends, the Sunday law
committee" was the remark made
Yesterday when the church-goers
passed by the saloons, all of which
were closed. The thirsty deacons
missed their "smile" before the
sermon, or at least the opportunity
of getting it through the front
door, and many of the churchmen
had to take their liquid sustenance
home with them in a jug on Satur-
day night. This is the first time
in the history of the city that the
saloons have closed here on Sun
day, but the closing was general
during church hours, and the doors
were not opened from 10 o'clock in
the morning, until 3, and'in some
cases until 4 o'clock in the after
noon. Most of the saloon keep
ers spoken to by reporters for the
LIGHT expressed themselves as
glad that they had closed during
those hours, as it gave them and
their employees rest and recreation
during time, that generally speak
ing, there is not a great deal of
business going on. And the bar
tenders, who was thus enabled to
get off, enjoyed their respite and
holiday. One of the latter said:
"This is the first time | have had
a holiday on Sunday for sixteen
years, and it looks very strange to
me to see the saloons closed. OF
course the bar keepers are glad to
get the holiday, but they do not
believe in the Sunday law or the
Sunday law committee"

PLAIN POINTERS.
lBY A CLOSE OBSERVER. !

Honest, bold and fearless jour-
nalism, is the crying necessity of
the present age. 1t is not very in
frequent to- see discrimination
practiced in melting out justice to
criminals that color, race, political
and financial standing have a great
influence in the Temples of justice,
but our daily press, the standard
bearers of public sentiment and
universal education, should GER
tainly be free from discrimination
and prejudice. If the proverb
that "a great man is recognized by
the many enemies he Makes"
would be practiced in the news
paper world they might perhaps
occasionally lose a subscriber on
whose corns the editor has stepped,
but the paper would undoubtedly
be of much greater usefulness to
the community, and a more influ-
entail moral educator than the
average preacher and world re-
former.
A newspaper whose revenue is
derived from political partiality,
whose sentiments are controlled
and dictated by political factions,
who will sell its influence to the
highest bidder, such paper is I'M
worthy the patronage and conf
dence of it's readers.
The newspapers mission is too
sacred to trifle with, too important
a herald to allow egoism to be
tempered with. The editor, al
though an individual, enjoys the
privilege of using the plural "we,"
hence he should not abuse it. If
he is the peoples adviser, he must
certainly have the peoples welfare
at heart.
If charity begins at home then
the Observer is at loss to under
stand why the missionaries estab-
lish their fields of labor in the far
away savage countries. Think of
the thousands of dollars and
human lives sacrificed yearly for
this purpose, and what are the
results? While the holy mission
airy wanders around in the wilder
ness of Africa, trying to enlighten
cannibal with the Christian re-
ligion, there are millions of his
white brethren, in his native land,
who possess plenty of religion, and
wide knowledge of the Lord, but
are struggling during their miser-
able life to keep soul and body to-
gether. 1t is needless to sustain
the truthfulness of these facts.
Why then, should not charity be-
gin at home? Is the missionary
business of Europe only scheme
of the country grabbers, and
greedy autocrats, who use religion
as shield to cover their Infamous
purposes?

KILLED INSTANTL
Another Team of Valuable Horses
Killed by a Broken Electric
Wire


Another terrible accident caused
by the falling of an electric wire,
occurred on Tenth street in front
of the power house of the San Anto-
Mo Street Railroad company last
night about II o'clock, Immediate
ly after the heavy wind storm, in
which valuable team of horses,
hauling hack, and owned by
Charles Johnson, were killed.
AT this hour the team was being
driven east on Tenth street. 1t
being very dark, the driver could
not see great distance, and sud-
denly both of his horses fell to the
ground and in a moment both
were cold in death. The driver
jumped from his hack and investi-
gated the matter, ascertaining
that the animals had run into a
charged wire, owned by the street
car company which had been blown
down during the heavy wind
storm, a few minutes previous to
the occurrence.
A telephone message was sent to
JOhnson's stable, on the corner Of
Blum and Live Oak streets, giving
an account of the affair, and soon
two other horses were sent to the
horrible scene to haul the hack to
the stable. The matter was then
reported to the night marshal at
the Central police station.
This is the second accident of the
kind which has occurred in San
Antonio within the past month,
the first having occurred near the
Arkansas Pass depot, in which two
horses, owned by j. NJ. Foster,
were instantly killed at 5 o'clock in
the morning in similar manner,
and also in which several citizens
were badly shocked.

The Floods at Hand.

At length the predicted overflow OF the
canals and water bitches south of the city
has come and the warnings of THE HER
AID and others have been verified. They
were treated with indifference or ridicule
by some OF the officials concerned. They
thought they knew more about such
matters than the old residents who had
passed through water troubles years ago,
and who understood the signs of the
times and the effects of the seasons. 1t Is
only day or two since some OF the wise
acres laughed at the idea of danger, but
now they are rustling to repair the dam
ages already incurred.
The few days OF warm weather we have
had have brought down volume of
water from the mountains, altogether
too large for the canals to hold in their
present INSTRUCTED condition. This small
inundation is but forerunner of the
floods that are to come. Every day will
increase the danger. 1t was only the
backward spring, as we told the public.
that delayed the overflow that is inevita-
BILE.
There is an immense mass of snow in
the upper mountains. 1t will not be long
before the sun will get In its work upon
the snowbanks and covered peaks and
send down roaring torrents to seek the
level of the lake.
Considerable work will have to be done
to find channels which will hold the
rushing streams, and the officers whose
duty it is to look after the public interest
in these particulars, will have their hands
full to provide ways and means to dispose
of the irresistible floods.
There should be no further delay in
this. What has been done only meets the
present emergency. That is but the be-
ginning OF troubles. High waters are
certain and imminent. There will be
suits for damages, TO say nothing of the
sufferings that will ensue, If further pro-
visions are not made to convey and carry
off the sweeping waters soon to roll down
in their might. Will the city and county
authorities unite in vigorous and imme-
date work to prevent the impending evil,
or will they daily with the danger and
say they don't believe there is any cause
for alarm?
