h Curious Ceremonies Which Prevail
on Such Occasions.
While people dying at st. Denis, in
France, are to be buried according to
the mayors ukase, those who desire to
be married by ''civil rights" have
everything in their favor.
At n recent wedding in the town hall
the sale DIES marriages was profusely
decorated with plants and flowers.
After the mayor Ind tied the nup-
tial knot an orator especially engaged
In Paris made IN appropriate speech,
md the wedding March of Mem
delssohn was played OIL a piano.
Some of the friends Of the bride and
bridegroom next sang the waltz from
Gounod's Romeo ct Juliette;' .'Bebe,"
by Henrion; the Romance Of Maitre
Pathelin." by Bnzin; the "Marche aux
Choux," of Chateau, and, finally, the
duet from the lode TriomphaIe," of
Augusta Holmes.

SHE is HONEST.
A Prisoner is Aided by Friends in
Houston.

Several days ago a strange wo-
man named Mary Leonard, was
fined $50 by the recorder, alleged
to have stolen some bed clothing
from the Southern hotel. She had
no money and was compelled to go
to Jail for 80 days. Wednesday
she was detailed to scrub the audi
tors office. Deputy Auditor Chas.
Sauer noticed that she was appar-
entity not vagrant and began to
question her. He learned that she
was an honest woman, and that
she had just arrived from Mexico,
where she left her husband no is
searching for work. She said she
was well and favorably known in
Houston, and gave Mr.. Sauer the
names of several prominent citi-
zens in that city. Mr.. Sauer wrote
to these Houston people, and yes
terday received word that the
woman was lady, though had
a hard "row to hoe" The party
writing stated that if the mayor
would release her, he would fur
nish means for her passage to
Houston, where she would be cared
for by friends. Mayor Paschal was
seen, and after after hearing the
circumstances, Immediately re-
mitted the balance of the fine and
the lady was released. Mr.. Sauer
then sent her to his home, where
she cleaned up, and will leave this
evening for Houston, over the
Pacific.

ALLEGED RAPIsT CAPTURED
And Is Now in Prison-Keen Work
of a Colored Woman.

1t will be remembered by the
readers of the LIGHT, that sew
eral days ago Mexican peddler
entered a house, at No. TAI Ruiz
street, occupied by Mr.. Rahm, a
blacksmith, and finding Helene, a
5-year-old girl, alone, picked her
up and carried her to an clubhouse,
where he attempted rape, but was
not successful, owing to the fact
that the screams for help, of the
little one, frightened the brute
away. He escaped, and could
not be located. The officers
have been on his trail since
that time, and have arrested
two men alleged to be the offend
ers, but they were both released
as there was no evidence for con-
viction.
The right man, it is thought,
has been found and he is now in
the county jail, without any bond
having been fixed. He gives his
name as Melquires Manchecca,
and claims he is innocent.
1t seems that the sister Of EXPO
liceman Irwin, colored, saw this
peddler on the day of the crime.
Yesterday she saw him pass her
house and Immediately recognized
him, and rushing into the house,
told her brother, the eX-officer. Mr..
Irwin ran after the man and
held him until Officer Cadena ar
rived. Manchecca was driven in
the patrol wagon to the Rahm res
idence and as soon as the little
one got a glimpse of the peddler
she ran, saying that he was the
man who attempted the assault.
He. was also identified by Miss
Irwin.
Justice Anton Adam issued a
warrant for his commitment to Jail
without bail. The charge is at
tempting to commit rape.

An Opium Cigarette.

a little cOlOred boy named Joe
Saunders, who is in the county

& Bell. 1t seems that he was in a
cell with two Cinnamon, and one
Of them gave him a cigarette,
which, after he had smoked it,
caused him to be very ill. 1t is
thought the cigarette contained
opium.

Mrs. c. T. Nash, of the city, who

terday. The remains were brought
to San Antonio this morning and

First Presbyterian church at 10
o'clock. Mrs. Nash was the mother

Pat. Higgins Found Dead.

Patrick Higgins, the secondhand
furniture dealer, on West Houston
street, was found dead, early this
morning, in the doorway of the
hall of the Convention building.
DR.. Menger was called, and stated
that death, was caused by apo
pleXy.
The deceased was a native of Ire
land, and came from good old
stock. 1t is said that his patriot
ism was the cause of his leaving
Ireland suddenly, without leaving
p. p. C. cards. When he got to New
York, he was for years in the office
of leading New York attorney, but
somehow or other, he drifted into
Texas. For years he was promi-
nent as a railroad foreman and
sub-cOntractor in northern Texas,
and while so engaged he was in
jured in railroad accident,
gripping him for life, for which he
received a judgment of $4,000.
After frOlicsome life in the city
he engaged in business as clothier
in the Chatham street of San Anto-
Mo, and called himself the fresh
Jew. Lately he has been in the
furniture business on East Houston
street.
He was a man of considerable
learning, could quote the classics
literally, and had much literature
at his finger ends. He was liberal
in every way, in fact to a fault,
and his heart was ever open to the
calls Of distressed humanity. He
was in fact a genuine educated
Irishman, witty, intelligent, liber-
al and humane, always willing to
help a friend or whip an enemy.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying

What the People are Saying.
The taxpayers are well posted as
to the proposition to be voted on
next Tuesday. The question has
been set forth in a clear and intel
ligent manner by the mayor, and
the people have been furnished
with the printed statement.
The taxpayers understand that
the city will be authorized to issue
6 per cent. notes, instead of its 3
per cent. paper, and that Bracken-
ridge releases his grip on the city's
revenues.
A proposition that meets gener--
al support and no opposition is
likely to receive a slim vote. This
should not be the case. 1t costs
the voter very little inconvenience
to vote, and every taxpayer who
can vote, should do so.
The taxpayers of our city should
be on the alert to express them
selves upon every question tOucn--
ing city finances. They should b e
thoroughly proven and vote intel
ligently.
The next vote to be taken will
mark a new era in our city's histO-
ry. The people, having confidence
in the present city administration.
will no doubt authorize by their
vote the building of sewers and
water works, and it may include
electric lights. But the vote Of
Tuesday is to provide for an old
debt and inaugurate different
and better financial management
Every citizen who can, should
vote, and thus show that the peo-
pie do take an interest in the
financial affairs of their city gov
eminent,
