Undesired Consolation.

A correspondent from Buda-
Pesth writes to the Frankfort
Gazette: "On the 10th of June,
there died here Mr.. AIxius Erkel,
the Orchestral leader of the Buda-
Pesth theatre and a son of the
great composer, Franz Erkel.
Shortly before his death a Jesuit
Priest was sent to him who, gifted
with fine persuasive powers left
nothing .undOne, no means untried
to induce the dying musician to
accept the consultations of the
church and its salvation. Erkel
listened with a great deal of atten-
ton and seemed to take much in
terest in what the padre said to
him, when finally concluding, his
holy arguments came to an end,
Erkel remarked with an express
sion of deep conviction: "Truly
an magnificent and seldom found
baritone voicew A few moments
later Erkel was a corpse"

Hard on Bill Collectors.

Collectors are complaining of the
scarcity of money. They say they
never saw things so dull as at
present. A reporter for the LIGHT
was told by collector that out of
$11S worth of bills he collected 81,
and this was paid him voluntarily
by one whose bill he happened not
to have with him at the time.
Another business man told the re-
porter that he has given up collec-
ting for while, as the time he dis
poses of in attempting to collect a
few bills can be utilized more
profitably at his place of business.
One man to whom a bill was sent
returned the answer that he has
no money to pay bills with at
present, as he expects to go to the
Worlds Fair, and that all the
money he can get his hands on
now is needed for that purpose.

Will Not Effect Al amo Heights

Mr.. C. w. Ogden, vice-president
of the Alamo Heights and I'M
provement company says:
"The assignment made in Den
yer by the Chamberlin Invest
ment company will not effect the
Alamo Heights and the Rapid
Transit company here. The Cham
berlin company was merely a
stakeholder and the failure of a
stakeholder can not effect the COM
pany here. They are doing an eX-
cellent and profitable business and
will continue to do so. The Rapid
Transit line is giving excellent SER
vice and it's service is to be still
further increased and improved.
The failure of the Denver Cham
berlin company will not effect
either the Alamo Height Land
and improvement company or the
San Antonio Rapid Transit COM
pany, or the Washington Heights
Land company"

San Antonio and Gulf Railroad.

At a meeting, held at Rancho,
July 9Th, which was largely at
tended, DR.. j. X. p. Green was
called to the chair. William Han
son was chosen secretary. w. III.
BROKER, Esq, of San Antonio,
made forcible speech in advocacy
of the proposed road. The resources
of this densely populated and fer
tile region fairly glowed under the
magic touch of this earnest
speaker.
Colonel BROKER was followed by
Captain William Davis, of San An
tonic. The latter is railroad man
of wide experience. His speech
was an array of facts as to the
building aad operation of railroads
in Texas. How refreshing it is to
hear a man talk who knows what
he is talking about! Captain Davis
happily vipdicated the state of
Texas in providing a commission
for the regulation of her railroads.
A committee of sixteen citizens
was appointed to solicit subscrip,
tions to a bonus to this railroad.
There is much enthusiasm on the
subject. Colonel BROKER and Cap
tain Davis will go from here in
the direction of Edna, Jackson
county, which place they aim to
reach on Tuesday, the 18th instant.
From Edna they will go to the
town of Matagorda, reaching there
Saturday, the 10th.

A Large Whirlwind.

Whirlwinds are of no unusual
occurrence in San Antonio this
year and some large ones can be
seen occasionally. Yesterday after
noon in the vicinity Of the Sunset
freight house one was seen that
was about twenty feet in width and
about four hundred feet high,
Large pieces Of paper and other
light articles were carried up as far
as the naked eyes could reach, and
the dust was horrible.

at Austin last Monday night, but
says it did not extend very far.

carried away $40 bill, which was
hid in the house. There was moth.

jewelry and silverware were lying
in of one her bureau drawers. There

one well acquainted in that local
ity.
