Santone's Athletes.

Herman and Rudolph Aue, of the Mis-
sion Athletic club of this city, will leave
for New Orleans tomorrow night, where
they will represent San Antonio in the
Athletic exhibitions TO be held in tie
Crescent City next Saturday. James Ryan,
the Mission AthlPtic club. will accom-
pany the Aue oyS to take part in the
contests. Mr.. ky an has a wonderful re-
cord of throwing the hammer" and is
said to be world beaten.
Rudolph Aue'S present record as a
jumper is five feet and eleven inches and
he expects to improve on that. All the
leading athletes of the south will partici-
pate in the contests, which will be held
under the auspices of the Southern Ath-
letic Union. San AntOnio's record will be
hard to improve upon and very likely will
eclipse those made on the day of the con-
tests.

Grand Opera House.

Richards and Pringle'S Georgia min
StrelS appeared at the Grand to house
densely packed except in the parquet and
orchestra circles. standing room being al
a premium everywhere else. 1t was one
of the brightest. cleaneSt minstrel fer
fOrmanceS ever given upon the stage.
The singing was admirable, the chestnuts
fresh. the SpecialtieS exceptionally good,
and there was entire absence Of the horse
play with which some performances OF
this class are burdened. The cOrnet solo
was beautiful Instrumentation; the Sc
lection by the quartette eXcellently rem
dered. the baSSo being particularly de-
serving of mention. Billy kersands
found an able ally in Tom Brown, who
was to the full as attractive as the won
derful Billy himself. Altogether it was
a minstrel performance in its purity that
is seldom eQualIed.

A BRUTAL ASSAULT.
A Lady Abused by a Negro in the
Brush.

Mrs. GuStave Janetz, residing at No. 300
Centre street. was walking through a
pasture on DignOwity hill yesterday after
noon. when she was approached by a
large tough looking negro. who stepped
up from behind the brush. He grabbed
her, evidently with the intention of COM
hitting a horrible crime, and the lady
began to struggle in order to be released.
Finding that the power of the brute was
too great, she screamed for help
and her appeals were soon answered
by the neighborS in that vicinity Before
their arrival. however. the tiend had
conveyed her into the brush, and after
striking her over the head with rock,
threw her on prickly pear bush, where
she was found in an unconscious cOndi-
tiOn by those answering her summons.
The mounted officers were notified and
made long and close search for the
demon, assisted by large number Of citi-
zenS, but they failed to find any clue. Had
the villain been located he would doubt
less have been killed at sight as the blood
Of the men in pursuit was boiling.
Mrs. JanitZ is today resting easily,
though the blow she received and the
terrible excitement will cause her 10 ba
i'll for some time to come. She is being
cared for by a physician.

CATTLE WILL DIE.
Texas Sadly in Need of Rain for
Stockmen.

Texas Sadly in Need of Rain for
Stockmen.
Major w. C. Lewis, the well
known livestock hustler for the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe rail-
way and father of Senator Perry J.
Lewis, the well-knOwn attorney of
this city, has just returned from an
extensive trip through South and
Southwest Texas. The Major has
also been up in the Panhandle dis
trict and has visited McGregor,
Bolton, Lampasas, Fort Worth and
| other points in the interest of live
stock shipments. He was asked of
the general condition of the state by
a reporter for the LIGHT, to whom
the big, genial Major replied:
"Well, my son, things are not
| very cheerful for stockmen in the
state this season. The state is all
right west of Alpine on the South
| ern Pacific and in the Panhandle
country, but south of here on the
International and Great Northern
and southwest on the San Antonio
and Arkansas Pass, the country is
in lamented condition; also west
on the Southern Pacific. | re-
ceived a letter from a gentleman
of Del Rio yesterday, which states
that if the present state of affairs do
not change soon, cattle will begin to
die. You know this is not the pro-
per season to move cattle for pas
turage. Cattle would not locate
now-that is, they would move
around and not settle down to feed
when placed in pasture. Every
stOckman will never locate in the
fall"
Major Lewis says that farmers
are better off this year than cattle
men. He says the cotton crop will
not be near as good this year as
last. Last year the cotton crop
yielded nearly 100000 bales, while
this year it will not be more than
| 1,75O,OOO. He says he has talked to
a number of farmers and they all
are of the same opinion. "Where
cotton-seed meal was worth $40 a
ton last year," said he, ait is now
worth $13, and hulls that brought
S. ton last year, can be had for
$3.50 and W now. | am told that
farmers receive nine and ten cents
per pound for cotton, on an aver
age, and that corn is selling for
fifty cents a bushel north of here,
and with oats worth thirty cents a
bushel, why farmers are all right"
"The money market does not af-
feet Texas as much as the east and
north, as there are not near as
many unemployed people down
here as IN those places. l fear
this winter, after the Worlds fair
is closed, tramps and unemployed
men will wend their way towards
Texas and the state will be literal
ly flooded with them"
| Mayor Lewis expects to leave
again tonight on trip over the
line.

Anthrax In Mud of sheep Wells.

An epidemic of splenic fever broke out
among some sheep on farm in the south
of Russia. Thinking that the disease
might be connected with the use of a
particular we'll water, the matter was
bacteriologically examined. Diatroptoff
was unable to discover the anthrax ba-
cillus in the water, but an investigation
Of the mud at the bottom of the suspected
well revealed the presence Of an organ
ism, which, on incubation into animals,
was proved beyond doubt to be the ba-
cillus anthracis. On the well being
closed, no further cases of anthrax oc-
Cured.
That the germs of the anthrax had in
some manner gained access to the well
is certain and opens up the possibility of
the communication of this disease by
means Of drinking water Moreover, the
likelihood of such contamination taking
place through the drainage from soil
points to tn desirability Of destroying
the carcasse of infected animals by Gre

WILLIAM i. COX.
For two years I felt bad, with head
ache. and seemed weak and tired at
times. My bowels troubled me, and at
times my water was not what it should
be.
II did not take any medicine, but let
myself alone and went on with my work.
aThere is where 1 made the mistake OF
my life, for this bad feeling was fol-
lowed by paralysis. | could do no work
for two years / was entirely helpless,
could not walk, could not even feed my
self.
II heard of DR. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy and took 1T for SIN
months and am now cured.
"What a serious mistake it was not
to take it before the shock of paralysis,
and so prevent all danger.
Il am now rs years old and feel young
and strong.o
If this proves a lesson to our people
and results in those having these weak,
tired and exhausted feelings and bad
symptoms taking the wonderful medl-
cine, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, and 50 preventing the
dread results, paralysis, insanity OF
nervous prostrati6n, we shall feel that
Mr.. Cox's case has not been given pu b.
licity in vain The remedy is purely vege-
table and harmless, and is kept by drug
gists for 81. 1t is recommended by doc
| tors because it is the discovery and pre-
scription of the famous physician, DR..

The Senator.

The story of Siias Denman and his
daughter in the play is, of course, most
" a fiction. The breezy young Western
Senator, Hannibal Rivers, is supposed to
represent Senator Plumb of Kansas, who,
it is said, is easily identified by Mr..
Aldrich's makeup" of that gentleman.
The Senator who really championed
the Armstrong bill I'm the Sen
ate was the late lamented Hon. George
Fl. Pendleton Of Ohio, who, as member
of the committee on foreign relations,
made report in this case of the most
distinguished ability on international
law and American Jurisprudence. In
this report, made in March, 1880, it is
stated that 'sthe event out of which this
claim arose is most creditable to the
valor and skill of American seamen, and
its remote influences evidently secured
victory to the American arms at New
Orleans" Mr.. Aldrich will present

ger
From little tn ings grow great things
a small beginning often results in an aw-
full and disastrous ending.
99 A gentleman well-known by us has just
passed through an experience which per-
fectly demonstrates this. He began to
have certain feelings which he could not
explain. He grew languid and tired,
felt weak, in fact, after any kind of eX-
ertion. He had headache, dizziness and
his stomach and bowels troubled him.
There was sediment in his water
After while he had numb spells, trem-
bling feeling in his legs, arms and body.
Then there came prickllng sensations IN
his fingers and toes.
Suddenly he had d shock of paralysis.
For the simple reason that he had for
months neglected, through ignorance of
their real meaning and danger, the
gradually growing symptoms of this aw-
full disease.
This gentleman, who is no other than
the we'll known William T.Cox, Esq, of
1S1 Friendship ST., Providence, RI as a
lesson to others against neglecting the
symptoms and feeling which SO surely
lead to paralysis, stated to us the facts
of his case trusting tn at others will
