This and That.
an Antonio LIGHT.

For the San Antonio LIGHT.
The experience of others is a good
guide for personal conduct If we will only
take the lessons it teaches.
Let us then look at HOuStOn's expert
ence under the Sunday law men. Every
thing was dead in the city, business at
| the lowest ebb, AID the people left by the
thousands each Sunday for Galveston,
MOrgan'S Point and other places in order
TO enjoy life, and other places were en-
riched at HOuSton'S expense. One liquor
house, Japhet alone: lost SLIGO per
month. Did the people take less? No
but they spent their money in
other places. Austin has had the
same experience and so will San Antonio,
if the Sunday law is enforced Cheap ex-
curSions to New BraunfelS and other
points will be the result. Those points
will gain much, but all they gain will be
San AntoniO'S loss. Business, now bad.
will be worse. owing to vast sums of
money that will be spent elsewhere.
You cannot make people moral relig
iOuS or virtuOuS by law, and force only
makes men the more hardened. So long
as things are prosperous and orderly, it is
well to let well alone, following the glOri-
GUS axiom: do unto others as you would
be done unto"
Those who believe in free Sunday do
not interfere with others VINO enjoy that
day as they please, and therefore have a
right to the same liberty that they ex-
tend. 1t is grand principle that true
liberty is that which is fully enjoyed by
the individual, and which does not con-
flict with the liberty of Others" but the
Sunday law man says: II want to fully
enjoy my liberty, but will prevent 9th
erS from enjoying the same measure of
liberty If their tastes and pleasures differ
from mine
And who shall say this is not a gross
injustice to the citizens of San Antonio,
and what is more, an infractiQn of the
vital principles of liberty? mo.

& Delightful Shower.

Yesterday morning just as the
Sunday law committee aWOKe and
commenced to put on its war paint
and the people who were to par
tiCipate in the picnic of the San
Antonio Turn Nerein were getting
ready to go out to theSalado,J Jupiter
Pluvius' flood gates were thrown
wide open and while the shower
was not strong enough to wash
of the war paint of the commit
tee it worked all the starch out
of the picnic and the outing was
abandoned and the band was play
ing: ''wait till clouds roll by for
the picnicers who gathered in
the new Turner hall.
The shower was the most CO.
piOus that has fallen since signal
service observer pro tempore
Matthew Tierney, has been hand
ling the Humidity, and was more
welcome than any thing else
could have been. \ few more such
showers will suffice to ensure all
crops, except the oats and wheat
crops, which unfortunately are
irritrivably wrecked by drought.

INTENDED MURDERER CAUGHT
Jack Doss Alleged to be the Man
Who Drained Wesp.

Jack DoSS, colored man, who runs a
barber shop on West Commerce street,
near the Washington theatre, was ar
rested by Detective Bader, at noon today,
andcOmmitted 10 the county Jail, charged
with assault with intent to murder.
1t will be remembered by the LIGHT
readers that an account appeared IN an
issue several weeks ago, to the effect that
two negroes entered a saloon, on the cor
per of Romano and AceQuia streets, and
one of them struck the saloon keeper,
Fritz WeSp. over the head with large
iron bar, almost Draining him. They then
robbed the money till and left, leaving
Wasp on the floor IN an unconscious con-
dition.
Mr.. WeSp, has, since that time, fully
recovered, and has been on the look out
for the negroes. for he fully remembered
how they looked and gave the police
authorities a description of both.
This morning at II o'clock WeSp was in
street when Jack DoSs walked in. WeSp
recognized him at once and gave him
such a look that the negro said: "1O1
must know me- he Said:"YeS l know you
do you see that head?" pointing at the
spot where he was struck. You are the
man who entered my saloon with another
negro. and one of you Drained me-" The
negro was greatly surprised and made a
short reply and left, asking WeSp to call
on him at his barber shop, if he wanted
trouble. Instead of WeSp calling on the
negro, he went for Officer Bader, and
Doss was soon behind the bars.
The officers are now al work, and will
probably locate the other negro today.

After the war cloud scattered the city re-

Of the whaling season with great rejoicing,

proceeds Of q single successful voyage
amounted to a good fortune. and often the
hardy old whalers chose q mate for life'

Of their daring toll. But petroleum came,
and the whaling trade died, the great re-
fneries disappeared, and summer hotels

another land and nag. Yet In the memory
Of the Oldest Inhabitants the days when the

The Old Town Mill.

Arnold was born a few miles above New
London and he knew every street and
house Of the town and many Of its good cit
azens were his erstwhile acquaintances,
and in his heart there lurked no love for
them or his former home. The first the in
habitants knew Of the intended raid was
when the dawning light of September g.
17s1. showed the British feet approaching
the harbor through the race passage. Near
~ every able-bodied man was away with
the armies Of Washington and Gates. so
only the old men and boys and a few Grip
pied soldiers were left to defend the town,
but the alarm was spread and one hun
dred and twenty-five men gathered in the
fort that crowned Groton hill on the oppo-
site side of the river from the city. The
British landed about three miles below the
town on the New London side where the
present lighthouse now stands and march
ed up to the city. meeting only a feeble re-
sistance. They set fire to stores, houses,
and ships. and after this wanton destruc-
ton, embarked and crossed the river to
attack the fort. There were about twelve
hundred of the British against the hun
dred and twenty loyal colonists in the fort,
whose guns were few and poorly mounted.
But Col Ledyard. who commanded the
handful Of Americans determined to make
o brave stand, and as the British approach
ed they were met with determined fire
thai told in their ranks. but the force of
numbers was against the Americans and
the British made a most determined as
sault on the fort, and secured an entrance.
Col Ledyard seeing that further resist
ance would be only folly determined to sur
render; accordingly when the British COM
mander demanded who commanded the
fcrt. the colonel stepped out and holding
his sword with the hilt toward the Brit

IN 1e40 the city Of New London. which grew
and thrived Until. at the beginning OF the
evolutionary war. 1t was the center Of an
immense seafaring trade for this country
1T that early day. In the harbor many
privateers fitted out to prey upon the West
Indian commerce of the British, and 30 sue
cessful were these voyages that the brave
people Of the little city became particularly
obnoxious to the British commanders in
America
In 1851 the climax was reached when
Capt Saltonstalrs little privateer MI
nerva captured the rich British merchant
man Hannah, loaded with thousands of
dollars worth of costly stores for New York
merchants and stores of war for the Brit
Ssh troops. The British commander de-
termined to teach the daring people Of New
London q lesson. SO he looked around for
Q leader for an expedition against them.
This leader was to be a man Of vengeance
and no heart, so he was soon found in the
person of Benedict Arnold. the traitor, who
had betrayed our cause in 11s0.
