Good Roads the Cheapest.

The man who nao seen good roads
can thoroughly understand the stu
pid Extravaganza of bad roads. Mr..
Edgar L. Wake:nan has done good
deal of walking III many countries
and this is leaf from his experience:
I have tramped along 5000 miles
Of British roads. Each time | step
my feet upon this broad, firm, even
surface, every drop of American blood
in me tinges with shame at the
thought OF thc mud pixies and bot
tomlcss roads sloughs of our own
splendid country-rich, great and
strong enough to match the roads
of Europe without a weeks delay
And yet for five months of every
year, and in a lesser degree for the
other seven, half Of the people of our
farming communities are imprisoned
and impoverished helplessly at home.
As one result the people of the whole
country pay, i'll 40 indirect road tax,
though annual sharp advances on all
food necessities Of life, all of which
the farmers lose, q sum each year
enormous enough to maintain as
superb roads as England anywhere
possesses, around every section OF
cuitivable land in the entire United
States.

Fire Bows Fined.

Since Chief Duerler has had
charge of the fire department of
this city, he has had occasion to
deduct the salaries, for ten days
each, of two of the tiremen who
were discovered under the in
fiuence of liquor. Chief Duerler
states that he is drilling with the
various companies daily and is
learning the boys, and their habits.
\ large number of them will be re-
tanned, being honest, sober and in
dustrious men, but those who dis
regard the laws of the department
in the least will be dropped from
the list, and suitable men placed
in their stead.

Two Lunacy Cases.

Two cases in which charges of
lunacy had been made, were tried
in the county court yesterday af-
ternoon by juries. The first wBs
that against Jesus Medina, who
was determined to be non cOmpOs
mentis. In the second, that against
James Long, cOlOred boy, one of
the medical experts examined,
created considerable mirth by
asking the judge the definition of
insanity. He testified that the boy
was suffering from lack Of cO-ordi-
nation and gave most peculiar
definition of that term. The teSti-
mony went to show that the defen-
dant had been treated with oil in
stead of birch bark, judiciOusly
applied by his parents where it
would do the most good, and he
was acqu tilted and turned over to
them.

A DARING ATTEMPT
To Rob a San Antonio Bank Through
a Cellar.

Il SG41dIs
Not long ago Wagner d Chabot,
who at that time occupied the store
room adjoining GrOOs' bank, took
an inventory of the stock. They
checked the goods in all of the va
rious departments and then re-
paired to the cellar, where they
began taking stock. Under the
stair case was found two barrels,
which were thought to contain
glass goods. One of the clerks
opened them, and to his astonish-
ment found the contents to
be gravel and dirt. This dis
cOvery was reported to the
rest of the men employed in taking
stock, and they began to entertain
numerous queer ideas. One of
them suggested that perhaps it
was dirt taken from the wall, and
they proceeded to remove a num-
Der of boxes and then found large
hole, which had been dug by some
night visitors. In the opening
were found picks, shOvels and 9TH
err tools necessary for the digging.
Workmen were employed the fol-
lowing day and the hole was filled
up as before.
Directly over the place which
was being followed out is placed a
large vault in GroOs' bank. 1t
was evidently intended by the dig
gers to enlarge the opening to a
sufficient size so as to comfortably
hold two men, and with a lamp
and proper tools they could easily
gain entrance through the floor,
and diligently work until trap
door could be made in the bottom
of the vault, in which they could
enter frequently without being de-
tected. The work was evidently
planned by experts, as their en-
deavors, Judging from the keen
manner in which they had done
the work, were very smooth.
Messrs. Wagner & Chabot report
ed the matter to the police author
tiles, who have never been able to
detect the slightest clue. and the
matter will ever remain a mySteri-

To the Daily LIGHT.
\ six inch rainfall here last
evening did untold good to the sur
rounding country. 1t poured down
necessarily for about five hours,
swelling the streams and thor
Oughly saturating the ground. We
now have prospect for better
crops than for many years. The
Oat crop, which has already been
harvested, was very heavy. En-
cOuraging reports continue to come
in as regards the cabbage crop,
most Of which has been marketed.
\ Mr.. Glendenning, living at st.
Mary's, stated to the LIGHT cor
respondent this morning that he
had gathered and sold over 5000
worth of cabbage from an acre.
Judge j. a. Evans, of Mckinney,
came in yesterday evening and
says he finds the crops looking
better in Bee county than at any
other point in the state.

HOW 1T OCCURRED.
The Details of a Shooting Scrape.
On The Medina.

1t sometimes happens that a
trivial circumstance deVelOpeS the
details of a crime that has been
concealed, and such was the case a
very short time ago which led to
the arrest of two men who are now
in the county jail. 1t seems that
about a month ago Jose Ortega
who lives near Oak Island SETTLE
ment, had difficulty with another
Mexican named SolOme Vega, and
another named MatrinO PireZ, in
which Vega shot Ortega in the
breast, but that the matter was
kept so quietly that nothing was
heard of it until the same parties
became involved in another quar-
rel last Monday. In this quarrel
one of the parties was heard to say
81 am sorry | did not kill you
when tried to do So" and this
was reported to the officers who
followed up the clue and it resulted
in Deputy Sheriff McCloskey max
ing an affidavit against the shooter
and accessory, and.lOdging both
behind the bars of the Cameron
street bastille.

Long Island Indians.

There was a time when many of the
Shinnecocks shared in the occupations of
the white people and acquitted them
selves with great credit. l allude to the
whaling period in Southampton history,
The Shinnecock at sea, whether pure
blood or half breed, made an exact sailor.
The discipline of the f~orecastle was good
for him, at least so long as he wa afoat.
Many of them got to be mates, and one
became a captain. This distinguished
sailor man was not a pure bred Indian,
but vas part negro, and probably had a
small though potential quantity of white
blood. This was Captain Lee, and any
one down toward Southampton or Sag
Harbor can tell of his giant stature and
immense strength. This Captain Lee
was the son of a still more famous man.

Col. Al Fairbrother, editor of THE DUR

He says last Friday evening about 7

with a piece of fish-bar iron, but having
been hired to do the job, lost his nerve,
and Fairbrother put his gun in his face
and told him to get and he got. The
colonel concludes by saying that his pa

a Sermon

The latest enterprise which we hear
announced in the young and enterpris-
ing west is the Sermon exchange" Of
Chicago. According to popular belief
the practice of clergymen has been to
write until they had filled a
barrel. Then the barrel would be turned
upside down and the sermons all
preached over again. Where a minister
remained in a church a great many years
the congregation would after awhile be-
gin to know when the barrel was turned.
Some sermons were looked forward to
with much interest and others with more
or less dismay. The Sermon exchange
is to do away with all of this. 1t is no
longer necessary to preach a ermon over
q second time. The preacher can take
an old sermon and tie twenty-five cents
to it. This he sends to the exchange and
receives one written by some one else
by return mail, or if he has no sermon to
send he a get n for fifty cents.-Bal-
timore Sun.
