ney, is the fortunate pOssessor
of a rich Ignite mine, about eigh-
teen miles southwest OF this city,

A GRAND OPENING.
A Brass Band and Parade Will
Usher in the Baseball Season.


Usher in the Baseball Season.
| Work on the baseball park will
be completed this week. A fire
hose will be placed in the grounds
and the diamond and outfield will
be thoroughly drenched. After
this is done the steam roller will be
brought into use and the grounds
will be rolled, which will make the
entire field hard and even. 1t is
expected that the grounds will be
the finest San Antonio has ever
had for baseball purposes.
The new uniforms, which will be
gray with black trimmings, will
be made by Otto Gerlach, the we'll
known local tailor, who promises
to make good job of them. He
made the uniforms for the pro-
fessional team last year.
Secretary Huntress has sent let
tiers to all the leading clubs of the
state, enclosed with dates for San
Antonio, and answers to same are
expected daily. If everything
will be in readiness by next Sun
day, Houston will play here, as
dates have already been arranged
with that team for the opening.
The opening will be mark
ed with the greatest enthusiasm
ever displayed in San Antonio
by a baseball club, which will de-
monstrate how interest in the ma
tional game has increased down
here lately. A brass band will be
engaged for the occasion, and the
two teams will parade through the
city in carriages, and in uniform,
headed by the band. Several bust
ness men have expressed their
willingness to decorate their stores
and request that others do like
wise. From these reports one can
draw the conclusion that the open
ing of the baseball season in San
Antonio-although rather Late
will be grand affair, a la Boston
or New York, and that the season
will be a most successful one.

ATTEMPTED TRAIN ROBBERY.

The Crime Frustrated by Plucky Ex-
press Messenger
BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, Dec. 10.-An at
tempt to rob an express car on an Erie
train was made late last night at q
crossing near the city. At the moment
the train stopped the glass door of the
express car was smashed and robber
entered. Messenger Weekly was un-
armed, and in the struggle worsted the
robber and flung him from the car just
as the train moved on. Nearly $1,000
was in plain sight, having been gotten
ready for transfer when the train
reached Bloomington.
ANOTHER ATTEMPT.
New ORLEANS, Dec. 10.-At Tangipa-
hoa, last evening, three masked men
boarded an Illinois Central passenger
train and attempted to murder Con-
ductor Kinebeck, who was slightly
wounded in the right arm. The trio
then escaped. Investigation developed
the probability that express robbery was
the motive of the attack. The men did
not leave the train till Arcola station
was reached. Horses were in waiting
and they rode away into the woods.

ing portion is that bearing on the exten-
sion OF the classified service to the free
delivery postoffices, the subject on
which Commissioner johnston dissented
and his removal made by the president
a short time ago.
The report condemns the salary limit
to the classified service in custom

by grade. In support of this view the
satisfactory results of the classification
In the railway mail service was cited.
The report says in the unclassIfed

point OF decency and morality that it is
difficult for a man OF ordinary intelli-
gence, who wishes we'll to his country,
to discuss the arguments advanced in
their favor with anything like tolerance.
The report likens our system to those
employed in Morocco and Turkey.
The number of persons connected with
the civil service in the United States is
about 100000.
