BUTLER WINS THE FIGHT.
Knocked the New Orleans Sport
Out in One and one-Half
Minutes

A large crowd of San Antonio
sports repaired to vacant lot be-
yond Lakeview yesterday morning
to witness the long contemplated
fight between Steve Butler and
"Sport" Williamson, of New Or
leans. 1t was expected that a
hard fight would be witnessed, as
Williamson has always been con-
sidered a clever man in the ring,
but the spectators had confidence
in the little San Antonio sport and
placed their sums on him.
When time was called the two
men rushed out both determined
to "win or die in the attempt"
Butler gave one little tap with his
left slightly disfguring his opO-
nent's nose, and causing the loss of
considerable blood. Butler, being
naturally generous, stood up and
said "Hit me one, see." This the
Crescent City sport took advant-
age of, and gave Steve gentle tap
on the face. Butler then went in
to win. He gave Williamson three
blows in quick order, and landed
him in his corner, where he re-
manned "dead to the world" 1t
was just one minute and thirty
seconds from the time the fight
started until the finish. Butler
took his money, went to bath
house, dressed, and was ready to
aid the ball players in contest
with the Capital City boys in the
afternoon.

No Band Concert.

There were a number ST pleasure
seekers disappointed Saturday
night when it was announced that
the Twenty-third infantry band
would not give a concert on Alamo
plaza. 1t was then remarked that
there would be no more concerts.
This is false. The entertainments
will be given hereafter as usual.
The nOn-appearance of the must
clans Saturday night was due to
the fact that three of the leading
men were i'll and one Of the cornet
players was summoned to his home
to attend the funeral of his father,
having been granted leave of alb
senCe for one month.

NOT A RUN.
Austin Sends a Team Over That
Can PLAY Ball.


Can Play Ball.
Astronomers claim there are
spots on the sun. Well, there may
be spots on the sun as large as
! ash-bOilers, but there are none
on the aggregation of ball tOsSers
who keep their slair in the town
famous for dOg-meat, known here
as tamales. Why? Because yes
terday afternoon the Austins kept
dates with the curves of Messrs
Van Ripper and Phelan, and
knocked the spots out of SantOne.
This morning for the first time
since that "hOrrible" team of Nc
ClOskey's men in 'SS, did Austin
look back over their shoulders at
their old rivals in the Alamo City.
How did it happen? Well just
look at the sixth inning, when the
"Senatoas" of Texas began a run
on Vans curves. Father Phelan re-
lieved him, but it was all the
same with the visitors, they
stopped up the holes in their bats
before leaving Austin, and came
here to place the club at a little
expense repairing the fence today.
The local team, however, is al
ways prepared for a case of emer-
gency, and on Saturday drove in
an extra supply of new nails and
fresh boards along the fence. That
saved the fielders from picking up
the boards and keeping the kids
from crowding in on the grounds,
and therefore the game was dis
posed of in less than two hours.
Whitewashed by Austin! Five
to nothing would have been ghast-
ly-but eight to none-no wonder
a grim specter squatted behind the
official run registrar and glared at
the place where San Antoine did
not score. 1t was Nature in her
great speciality, in abhorring a
vacuum. No wonder the few
cranks present reared up and
with an incessant noise,
like a newspaper telephone on the
night of a prize fight.
"Little Del" Walker delivered
for the Senators and Miller was
at the receiving end. Those two
lovely cherubs, when joked to-
gether. could pull up a tree by the |
roots or plough up a stone quarry. |
"Del" and Miller had |
hold together and Santone's hopes
came up by the roots. Walker
speeded the balls across the plate !
4 la Clarkson and a few sympa-
thetic rOoters in the grandstand |
protested that he ought to let the
Santones see the ball anyhow, and
4 few even went so far as
to call for new umpire.
Really, if a thorough bred
'oOter from the grandstand in the
Polo grounds, which everybody |
knows is situated in New York
City, were on the grounds and
heard some of the silly remarks
from the San Antonio grand stand
he would walk out of the
grounds in disgust, and go over to
the museum across the road and
look at the stuffed animals.
The final score was:
RUNS AND HITS BY INNINGS.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
THE l. & G.. N. CUTTING DOWN
SALARIES.
Bright Budget of Railroad News
Gathered From Various Sources
by the Rumbler and Prepared
Specially for the Readers of the
Light.

The roads in Texas are now be-
ginning to cut down expenses. A

ern employees have been informed
that a 10 per cent. cut has been or
dered on salaries amounting to
500 per month, and a ) per cent.
cut on salaries ranging from $50 to
500. This cut is in obedience to
the circular ordering the cut on the
Missouri Pacific system, issued
short time ago, by President Geo.
Gould.
The cut is not relished by the
, employees, but they have submitted
gracefully, thinking that wages
will be restored when better times
come. a local railroad man said to
the Rumbler, that although the
roads are reducing their forces in
various departments, they are do
ing the same business as ever.

pular city ticket for the Southern
Pacific, writes who is now in Chi

three times on the big Ferris
wheel, took in Midway Plaisance
and rode twenty-five miles on the
moving sidewalk. He writes that
Mr.. Kent will have to buy more
ground at San Pedro Springs for

Cleyeland's Canal Scheme.

A Washington special to the New
York Tribune has the following !:
A brilliant stroke of policy is said
to be contemplated by President
Cleveland, which will partly atone
for his unpopular course in relation
to Hawaii, and also to some extent
compensate for his former indica-
ton of hostility to the Nicaragua
canal, when in 1886 he Withdrew
from the Senate the Nicaragua
canal treaty, which had a few
months previously been negotiated
by President Arthur.
Cleveland finds that foreigners
are scheming to capture the canal,
and he has learned from report
no le to him a few days ago by the
Sec .etary of the Interiar that, owing
TO the serious financial embarrass-
ment of the Maritime C&nal Com
pany6 of Nicaragua, 'no l-ogress
has been made in the work curing
the last twelve months"
simultaneously came the pub
lished statements that the Presl-
d of Nicaragua had given liz
structions to abrogate the valuable
concession of the American Canal
Company. Although that rumor
had been denied by President Ze-
lava he states that he has heard
that British and German syndi-
Gates were about to make a PROPOSE
tion to his Government, and that
he "telegraphed the representative
of his Government at Washington,
directing him to ascertain what ar
rangements could be made for the
prosecution of work by the Amerl-
can company"
These facts were officially COM
municated to President Cleveland,
and he was thus made aware of the
necessity for giving immediate at
tention to the question of protecting
the interests of the American Mari
time Canal Company OF Nicaragua.

they are all gone. Whether they will be
seen again in the flesh depends largely
upon the length of time that Alderman
Tolman remains in Washington. Mr..
Guptill cannot be expected to live long
in the Falmouth club dungeon, and the
coal hole in which Statesman McGowan
is supposed to be confined will eventual
ly sap his constitution and remove the
bloom of youth from his cheek, and
Brother Bracket must have more air
than can get through the erevices Of a
trunk lid. 1t will be of no use to appeal
to the sympathies of their jailors.
They are as memorable as fate. The only
way to liberate these three good and
great men is to call back Tolman. But
what if Tolman should refuse to come?
The possibility of such refusal suggests
reflections too sad to dwell upon. That
the counsel of these three dear, good men
should be lost to the people of Portland
is too melancholy a possibility to enter
tain. If we get these three worthless
back again each of them should be sur
rounded with body guard to protect
them from the Falmouth club and Young
Mems Democratic club ruffians. They
are too precious to take any chances

murder was committed. While it is
quite true that one motive, and strong
one. namely the motive of saving his
life, could not have operated to induce
him to falsify at this time, it is not true
that there was an absence of all motives
for falsifying. To keep up his mothers
faith in his innocence was motive
enough. Experience has shown that
only small per cent. of murderers break
down at the last moment and confess.
The rule is that they go to the gallows
with firm step. and not infrequently with
an air of bravado, and proclaim their in
nocence with their last breath, even
though the evidence against them may
be as clear as monday. The time when
a criminal is most likely to break down
is when the accusation is first made
against him. 1t is seldom that q man
who has denied his guilt at the begin
ming confesses subsequently,

Secretary Carlisle is not great sue
cess as financier, but he knows how to
"turn the rascals out" and that will con-
done great many financial shortcomings
in the opinion of the Democratic boys.
Long service, honorable record and fit
ness count for nothing with the Ken
tuckian. 1t is enough for him to know
that the officer is a Republican to declare
the position which he holds vacant His
last performance is to turn out Mr.. A.
L. Sturtevant, the head of the stationary
division of the Treasury, who has been
connected with the government service
since 1851, and whom Secretary Manning
refused to remove on account of his hon
orable record. Commenting upon the
act, tho New York Post says: sit is
hard to eonce We what good end Secre-
tary Carlisle expects to gain by the dis
missal of veteran public servant like
Mr.. Sturtevant, for thirty years chief of
the stationary division of the Treasury
Department" Of course the Secretary
does not expect that any good to the SER
vice will come ifrom this removal. 1t is
made simply because it will furnish one
more place for the faithful.
