Christmas at the Varieties.

"Charley" Knight and "Billy''
Klingler, the genial hosts of the
Washington theatre and Owl club,
spared no pains in making Christ
mas cheerful for their many friends.
The large theatre was richly deco
rated with electrical effects and
Chinese lanterns and also an album
dance of evergreen. The theatre
was constantly crowded and good
shows were the rule.
The Bella Union theatre, under
the efficient management of "Sen-
ator" Frank Burke, was also well
patronized, and Frank left nothing
undone to comfort the boys.
The "Old Reliable Red" Sutor, of
the Gem theatre, was kept con-
stantly at his post Of duty and had
all he could do to look out for his
friends and provide for their
wants.
The theatres present new bills
and new people this week.

Assault to Murder.

James Brown, a brother of Con-
stable A. A. Brown, and former
member of the San Antonio police
force, is now in the county jail in
default of bond, on the charge of
assault to murder one. Placido
Chapa. 1t seems that Brown
and Chapa had engaged in a row
at gambling house on the corner
of Dolorosa and Laredo streets.
They both went out onto the side
walk, and in another difficulty
Brown pulled out a razor
and slashed Chapa, cutting
his stomach wide open from side
to side, and would have killed him
instantly had it not been for
Chapa's ribs, which prevented the
razor from making a deeper cash.
Antonio Cevalles, a friend Of Chapa,
grabbed the razor from Brown and
in so doing received a cut on his
hand. Chapa's wound was dressed
by DIR. Menger and he went to his
home on Concho street, as did also
CeYalles.

To Organize the Texas League.

Mr.. Horace Moore, representing
an extensive fire supply firm of
Elmira, n. Y, with his headquar-
tiers at Houston, is in the city on
business. He is here also for the
purpose Of organizing Texas Base
ball league. He has been to Aus
tin, Galveston and Houston and
reports everything favorable for a
league for 1894. He wants San
Antonio to come in and have the
circuit consist Of Galveston, Hous-
ton, San Antonio and Austin.
A meeting will be held at Aus
tin next month for the purpose OF
organizing permanently and elect
ing officers. San Antonio will be
well represented at the meeting
and it is very likely that the
league will be formed and that a
good club will be placed in this
city.

THE FAIR.
IN RAILWAY CIRCLES.

How Christmas Was Spent by the
Boys-other News.
Christmas was generally observ-
ed around the various railway
depots Of the city. The employees
of the offices dropped their pens
last Saturday night and not until
this morning were they dipped in
to the ink-well for duty. The train
dispatcher, however, was not so
fortunate and his duties were the
same on Christmas as on
any other day. While the
officials and office clerks were
enjoying the festivities at home
among their families, or on the
streets and in -, among their
friends, the dispatcher spent the
day or night, which ever it was,
at his desk, responding to the ever
monotonous tick-tick, tick-tick,
tick-tick, and occasionally memoir
les of old ran through his mind
and recalled the happy moments
he spent on Christmas when a boy.
Freight traffic was suspended for
the day, and the only switching
done was the moving of the pas
senger trains upon arrival, in order
to keep the track clear for the next
train.
Thus the day was spent by the
railroad men, most of whose hearts
were made happy by Christmas
gifts from the companies.

A Christmas Treat.

Last night Trinity church was
well filled with young folks, who
were treated to a Christmas enter
tainment, which had been arrang-
ed by Benz. G. Hite. After the
program had been rendered Santa
Claus appeared and made the little
ones happy. The feature Of the
evening was a solo by little Isabella
Crane, aged five years. She re-
ceived loud applause and respond
ed twice.

An Alleged Kidnapping.

Henry Navarro, it is alleged,
went to the house of Lille Morton,
on Santos street, yesterday morn

Late in the afternoon Navarro was
placed under arrest. Both parties,

The Young Mems Benevolent associa-
tion has wound up its affairs, dissolved
and has no further existence. The money
due the funds has been honorably paid to
the treasury and the whole amount has
been divided among the members. The
\. M. Il. 4. was a popular and useful
society and It's SOcials will long be rem
embered by those who participated in
their pleasures. 1t should have lived
long but like many other societies it was

A BLOODY SCENE.
A Soldier Slashes a Woman and
Attempts Suicide.

a Soldier Slashes Woman and
Attempts Suicide.
About | o'clock this morning a
bloody ARRAY occurred at the Gem
variety theatre, at the corner of
North Laredo and West Commerce
streets, in which Josie Wilbur, a
variety actress of middle age, was
severely cut in five places by
Charles Roberts, alias George Bell,
a soldier of Light Battery f. Third
Artillery, who after slashing the
woman in mention, drew razor
across his neck and cut a horrible
cash.
Shorrl- before the hour above
stated, Roberts, who had been pay
ing some attention to Miss Wilbur,
entered the theatre and invited her
up into a box. An old quarrel was
renewed, and the soldier struck the
woman with his fist. AS soon as he
did so, he pulled from his pocket
keen.edged razor, and drew it
across the wOman's throat. She
fell back into chair, and the an
gered man proceeded to slash her
on the breast, lip, left arm and on
the back of her left hand.
Nellie Ladelle, another employee
Of the Gem theatre, saw the das-
tardly work and called for police
assistance. Just as she was leav-
ing the scene to secure aid, Roberts
placed the razor to his own throat
and drew it, cutting a deep and
long cash.
Physicians were hurridly sum-
moned and both the injured parties
were taken care of. Roberts is now
in custody on the charge of assault
with intent to murder, and the wO-
man is lying at her stopping place,
No. 316 Concho street. She is injured
seriously but may recover. Roberts
is in a bad condition but with close
medical attention, may recover.

Chicken Fights, But no Glove Figh

Chicken Fights, But no Glove Fight.
Chicken fights were the rule at
the various cOck-pits west of the
San Pedro creek since last Satur-
day. Betting was heavy and
much money changed hands at
the expense of many a game cocks
life.
A glove contest was to have
taken place at resort on River
avenue early Sunday morning.
The contestants were to have been
the "TeXarkana kid" and the
'Denver kid" who recently engag-
ed in a lively six-pound en-
counter at the Bella Union theatre.
The rivalry existing between the
two principals is supreme and the
contest would have been a most
interesting one. A large crowd was
present and a purse Of $50 was
made up. The police, however,
got wind Of the proposed mill, and
arrived on the scene in time to pre-
vent it.
The cock-fights, however, were in
full blast Sunday and Monday,
without any police interference
whatever. This impartial treat
ment was the cause of considerable
comment among the sports yester-
day.

Nearly q hundred establishments are
engaged in the manufacture Of bronze
powder in and near the cities of Furth and
Nuremberg, Germany. Itis composed OF
copper, tin, zinc and antimony melted
in proper proportions and cast first into
rods Of half an inch in diameter and
about three feet long, these rods being
rolled until about two inches wide and
then cut into suitable lengths for han
ding. The pieces go to the hammers,
where they are beaten into very small
fraction of their former thickness, and
are then taken to a sulphuric acid bath,
where each sheet is washed to remove
all impurities, rust and dirt.
After being thoroughly dried the
sheets are again hammered by steam
hammers until no further reduction Is
possible, there being limit to which
machinery can be used. Up to this
stage the treatment which the metal re-
ceives, whether intended for powder OF
metal leaf, is identical. but now the
process changes. If designed for metal
leaf, the further beating is done by hand

On Their Track.

CHICAGO. Nov. 17.-It was announced
today that the police had obtained a
slight clue to the identity OF the two
men who robbed Treasurer J. A. Drake.
Of the Indiana. Illinois X Iowa railroad
of over 10000. A newsboy was found
who said that in making his rounds he
saw two men hurriedly emerge from the
Rookery building, where the robbery
took place. about the time of the assault.
From the descriptions given by the boy
the police professed to think they would
be able to apprehend the robbers.
Mr.. Drake. the victim Of the assault.
was able to be at his Office to-day. A
cut over the eye and large bump on
his head were the only wounds he re-
ceived. Drake was apparently extreme
~ nervous as a result OF the affair. and
refused to be interviewed.

THE DEATH OF THE EARTH.
II Will BE Occasioned by the Gradual M.
tinction Of the Sun.

II will BE Occasioned by the Gradual R1.
tinction Of the Sun.
NJ. Camille Flammarion says that in
all probability, Notwithstanding all the
circumstances which threaten it, our
planet will die, not of an accident, but OF
a natural death. That death will be the
consequence of the extinction OF the sun,
in 20 600 900 years or more-perhaps 3O,-
900 ,OOO-since its condensation in rela-
lively moderate rate will give it on one
hand II ,OOO, 900 years Of existence. while.
on the other hand, the inevitable fall OF
the meteors into the sun may double this
number.
Even il you suppose the duration OF
the sun to be prolonged to 4O.OOO,O 600
years, it is still incontestable that the
radiation from the sun cools it, and that
the Temperature of all the bodies tends to
any equilibrium. Then the earth and
all the other planets Of our system vii!
cease to be the abode of life. They will
be erased from the great book and will
revolve, black cemeteries, around an ex-
tinsuished sun.
Will these planets continue to exist
even then? Yes, probably in the case OF
Jupiter, and perhaps SATURN No, be-
yond doubt, for the small bodies such
as the earth, Venus, Mars, Mercury and
the moon. Already the moon appears
to have preceded US toward the. final des.
ert. Mars is much farther advanced
than the earth to the same destiny. We
nus, younger than us. will doubtless
survive us. These little worlds lose their
elements of vitality much faster than
the sun loses its heat.
From century to century, from year
to year, from day to day, from hour to
hour, the surface Of the earth is trans
formed. On the one hand the cont
uents are cruinbling away and becoming
covered by the sea, which insensibly and
by slow degrees tends to invade and sub
merge the entire globe. On the othel
hand, the amount of water on the glob'
is diminishing A careful and reason
able calculation shows that by the &C
ton of erasure alone all the land on on
planet will be covered by water in TO-
OO0.O 900 years.
