SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS.
Captain Bob Ellis May be Ar
raigned for Trial.

Some time ago an article ap.
peared in the LIGHT relative to
the condition of the Excelsior
Guards. 1t was also stated that
the captain, r.. G. Ellis, had adj
vanced money out of his pocket to
defray certain expenses in order to
keep the company from disband-
ing. This offended several Of the
members, and in order to have re-
venge, it is presumed, they have
preferred charges against Ellis.
Yesterday morning Captain
Ellis received a communication
from General w. HI. Mabry, ad-
jutant general of the state of
Texas, to the effect that Sergeants
Jones and Williams, Of the Excel
sior Guards, had sent him a COM
munication alleging that he, Ellis,
had misappropriated funds,
shamefully abused some of the
members and during the time he
has been in charge of the company,
conducted himself in a very un-
gentlemanly manner. General
Mabry asked for a reply to the
charges as alleged, and threatened
an investigation.
Captain Ellis wrote reply to
the generals communication this
morning, in which he stated that
there has never existed shortage
in the company's treasury during
his term of office; that the COM
pany now owes him about $50,
for which he has, or can get re-
ceipts to substantiate his state
ment; that there never was any
ungentlemanly act committed on
his part, and that the charges were
simply preferred as a piece of spite
work. He further stated that he
was very DESTROYS Of having the
matter investigated, and if that
comes to pass, it is likely others Of
the company will be dealt with Sc
Verely.

Put Up That 100000.

A meeting Of the committees Of
the Gulf Shore Road was held at
the Board of Trade rooms this
morning, and after q full discus
sion Of the subject, special solicit
ing committees were appointed to
wait on the merchants, banker,
manufacturers, real estate owners,
saloons, hotels and all other inter-
ests.
The projectors OF the Gulf Shore
Road having complied with all the
conditions asked Of them, and
shown their ability to construct the
road, and there being no question
of the vast benefit that will accrue
to San Antonio by the building OF
the thirty miles, and as the dOna-
ton asked is small compared to
these benefits, particularly when it
is considered that the large number
of idlo men now here are to to be
employed on the construction work
of the road, the committees hope
that our citizens will earnestly
consider the matter, and be pre-
pared to make their donations
when the respective committees
wait upon them. The committees
are composed Of gentlemen whose
time is worth something, and they
are giving the time and work nee
essary for the general welfare Of
the community.
That San Antonio can raise the
100000 is not for a moment doubt
ed, but to do this 1t is necessary
that all the interests do their full
share, which it is expected every
one will do.

A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
DIR. De Iipcsey Seriously injured in

a Runaway.
Late last night a farmer named
Joseph Palowoski, living east of
the city, while returning to his
home, about 9 O'Clock, saw a man
lying on the roadside, apparently
dead. He alighted from his vehicle
and found the man to be DIR. De
Lipcsey, who Is now living at St.
Hedwig. The injured man was
brought to Blair's drug store, on
East Commerce street, and DIR. H.
A. Blair made an examination, as
certaining that the doctor was cut
badly about the lower limbs, and
injured about the arms and Shout
der. He was properly attended to
and sent to his home.
1t seems that the doctor had
had his carriage repaired the day
previous. While riding along, one
of the bolts became loose and be-
gan to rattle, frightening the
horses. They then started to run
at rapid gait. DIR. DeLipcsey was
thrown from his carriage as soon
as the horses made their first
plunge, and sustained injuries as
above stated. He will be unable
to attend to his professional duties
for several weeks.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.


That tremendous luxury, COM
posed, of Pecos sand stone, Texas
granite, and Caleveras brick,
known as the new court house,
met with a disaster by the burn
ing OF the Central hotel. That
little blaze proved that the hand
some sand stone Is very poor
material when it comes to fire.
The proposition to turn the
structure into a "tourist hotel" is
not fike]y to penetrate the brain of
our present administration, as at
all worthy, Of consideration. Yet it
would be capital idea.
By the time this building Is
finished our taxpayers will be
groaning over the tax necessary to
meet the bill. We will have a
building resembling worlds fair
architectural freak; we will be
rich in sand stone but poor in
pocket.
The scheme OF building a new
court house promised great returns
I'm the shape Of political pull, but
it Is likely to bankrupt politically
it's projectors. the county com.
missiOners, no doubt, regard the
huge pile as Mr.. Pickwick did his
runaway horse. That mild gentle
man was tempted to cut his throat
One thing seems positively ne
cessary now, that more ground
must be had, so as to secure the
building from contact with other
buildings, and before buildings are
erected upon the space left by the
destruction Of the Central hotel,
the county should proceed to have
more ground condemned.
1t will appear in tho light of a
hardship upon the people to be
compelled to purchase more
ground, for this already Overgrown
public folly, but 1t should be done,
to preserve even "tourist hotel"
More ground should be had in the
rear, as we'll as upon the front. In
addition to this precaution, the
city should be petitiOned not to
give permit to build any but a
fireproof building contiguous to
the court house.
This would be a good time to
inaugurate the erection OF fireproOf
buildings within our business
limit.

THAT BALL GAME

While our boys met defeat last
Saturday at Rayne, nevertheless
they have reason to feel proud over
the result. It has proven one thing
namely, that Abbezille boys can
play ball, and good ball at that.
What Is needed is a little more good
practice, and then they arc ready to
meet all corners. The game was
one of the most holly contested ones
ever witnessed in this part Of the
state, and all Of the Jennings nine
admit that our club is the beat one
they have ever met. We clip the
following from the New Orleans
Times-D Democrat:

3 to 2. The game was for a purse
of $l25 :AWianer taking all. The
Abbevi8le tam is. the best club the
have met in ak years of un-
beaten victories. Matters were kept
decidedly interesting throughout the
game. Jennings scored one each in
the second, 6fth and seventh innings.
Abbeyille scored one in the second
and one in the sixth inning. Tie
playing would have done credit to
professionals. Fully 500 people at
tended the game.

At the earnest solicitation Of OH

succeeded in securing for our people
a treat, a treat that they no doub,
must have enjoyed and the good
work of spreading the Gospel has
advanced accordingly. To say that
the services have been o source
Of much benefit to our people, is
putting it mildly.

of Acadia College, Crowley, is the
gentleman who has conducted the
services here. Opening them on

his delivery, force and style. It
