Partial Condemnation.

The committee selected by the city
council to examine the Ross Kennedy
building, who did so yesterday. will pre-
sent a report for condemning a portion of
the south wall, which rests on the old
Veramendi one OF the most substantial
buildings in the city. The Veramendi is
the fire proof building that saved the
DeviDe building, the courthouse and other
buildings on Soledad street from being
licked up by the flames when the disas.
trouS fire that destroyed so many other
buildings on Soledad and Houston streets
occurred year ago last February. The
walls OF both the Veramendi and Kennedy
buildings are strong and substantial,

A Disastrous Blaze.

About II o'clock last night, an alarm of
fire was sounded from box 3S, corner of
Warren and North Flores street, calling
out the fire department. The blaze was a
large one, and located at the two-Story
frame dwelling, at No. 1918 North Flores
street, owned by David C Hagy, and &C.
cupied by Mrs. j. l.. Jones. How the fire
originated could not be ascertained, but
the building is thought to have been set
fire to by trampS. The department did
remarkably good work, but failed to save
the structure. as it was too far gone be-
fore the alarm was turned in. The house
was valued at about $1,000, and is partly
covered by insurance.
Mrs. Jones, who recently moved into
the structure, SustainS a heavy loss in
the way of furniture, etc. which is esti-
mated at about $500, with no insurance.
Directly north of this building was a
small frame cottage, occupied by a Mr.
Jones 1t caught fire from the sparks, and
the loss is about $780, with no insurance

WATER HIS FATE.
A Colored Boy Takes a Fit and Falls
Into the River.

The mounted officers were summoned to
the San Antonio river about a half mile
south of Ian ms store at 5 O'Clock this
morning. the message stating that a col
ored man had committed suicide by jump
ing into the water.
They repaired at once TO the scene and
learned that the supposed dead man was
a 15-year old cOlOred boy named Wade
Dixon. who had been found floating
around in the river by his two brothers
at o'clock this morning. Justice Griff
Jones was summoned out after viewing
the corpse, ordered it sent to the poor
farm for interment. the family Of the de-
ceased not being able to pay the funeral
expense.
1t seems that this boy has been subject
to fits. Last Tuesday afternoon he left
his home. telling his mother that he was
going out to fish for while. Night came
and he did not return, and his folks went
in search of him, thinking he had been
taken suddenly with fit. They searched
continually until this morning when he
was found. The belief is that the poor
boy had taken i'll while fishing on the
river bank, and had rolled in the water.
He will be buried this Afternoon.

Gone to Mexico.

At o'clock this morning the railway

Iexas Tor the past week and who came
In yesterday evening from the coast left
this morning via. the Southern Pacific
for trip through Mexico over the Next
lcan International, afterwhich they are
to go TO California. The party comprises
A. c. oHutcheson, president OF MoTgan's
Louisiana and Texas Steamship com
Pany and vice president Of the Southern
Pacific; Julius Kruttschnitt. general
manager Of that road; Thomas and John
Hubbard, Thomas Fessenden and J. II
Curtis, all heavy stock holders in the
southern Pacific and interested in the
Arkansas Pass.
The latter road is practically under the
same management as the Southern Pa
ciflc system, which is directing it, but the
formal change of the management is not
TO be made public until the legislature
adJourns, as it is likely from their former
resol buttons that the SOlOns intend to make
trouble over the gObbling up Of the S. A,
p. by the Southern Pacific people.

Badly Poisoned.

About eight weeks ago Mr.. Frank r.
Moore, son Of Col. X. NJ. Moore, was in
Laredo in the interest of his insurance
business. He managed in some way TO
pick up a small twig on which was a
sharp little thorn. His finger was
scratched by the thorn, though not
enough to cause the flow Of blood. Later
in the evening he began to be i'll and was
compelled to go to bed. A physician was
quickly summoned, and before his arrival
Mr.. Moore's arm had swollen consider
ably. He was brought to this city and
taken to his home on Beacon hill, where
he has since remained in a critical condi-
ton. His arm is useless and is swollen
now twice its natural size. DIR. Kingsley
is attending to his strange malady, but is
at loss to ascertain what the cause is.
Several prominent physicians have been
consulted and cannot solve the problem.
At times it appears to be blood poisoning,
but again the symptoms are such as to
cause belief that it is not. Mr.. Moore
is much better and is out on the street to-

THE SPECIAL SESSION.
The Street Car Franchise MIDDLE
Acted Upon by the Aldermen.

AS was announced in the LIGHT of yes,
terday. the city council held a special
meeting at o'clock for the purpose dis
cuSSing matters referring to street car
, franchises granted.
AT this hour the aldermen were seated
aud the mayor called the meeting to order
and made known the object of the meet
ing. and stated that the San Antonio
Street Railway company bad placed men
TO work on Laredo street, and that they
had been stopped by the police, as the
betty engineer had not been notified to fur
inlSh level, nor had they obtained per-
Emission from the street commissioner
n Mr.. Barnard. the attorney for the
Alamo Street Railway company, present.
'ed the following petition:
Your petitioners, Charles Z. Harris and
his associates, ask that they be allowed
the right of way over East street from
NueVa to Monterey; that they be granted
the right of way from the corner of Mon
terey and PecOS, down PecOS to Laredo
street: thence down Laredo street to the
intersection of Laredo and Flio: that
they may be allowed to abandon the use
of Frio street from Monterey to Laredo,
and also Monterey street from PecOS to
FriO.
The petition was filed because the San
Antonio Street Railway company has
taken possession of Laredo street, claim
ing the exclusive right of way. On motion,
the petition was referred TO the public
Improvement committee and the city en-
gineer.
The ordinances for the issuance of side
walk and public improvement bonds
which were passed al the council meeting
of last Monday. were not drafted in regu-
lar form. and a motion to appeal them
was carried The new ordinances were
presented before the body and the rules
were suspended and the ordinances passed.
The change made was the reduction of the
tax TO per cent per 800 instead of per
cent, as passed on last Monday.
This being the only business to be trans
acted, council ad iOurned.

About fifty local sports of the city con-

saloon last night about II O'Clock and
enjoyed two glove contests between two
pairs of negroes. The first Setto was be-
tween two large boys and the second was
participated in by two little colored ar
fists. There was lively time and seve-
raj dollars exchanged hands. After the
negroes had pumbled themselves like
brutes, the sports repaired to the bar and
drank night cap over their port.
