tween the pillars. Now the sum of
$4,000 ought to erect a market
house so yards in length and 40
brick pillars. The sum of $4,000
ought to suffice to erect a market
house 40 yards in length and %
yards in width, which would give
ample room. This would give a
length Of $50 feet and width of
20 feet. My recollection, is that
the French market in New
Orleans does not greatly ex-
coed the dimensions given
above. Let the city show
whereabouts a market house is to
be built on Washington square and
authorize the citizens to erect a
market house out of their own
funds, and when completed, to
turn it over to the city. 1 think
the property owners in the vicinity
would promptly raise a fund Of
$4,000 for the building of a market
house on Washington square, as it
would double the value of their
property.
Another market house ought to
be erected on the triangular lot on
Houston, Bowie and Nacogdoches
streets. TONEY.

noise! See this knife? walk along
with me. / have some business
with you. If you keep quiet and
obey, everything will be all right
"There was naturally consider
able noise and constant commo-
ton, and the cashier realized that
the stranger could have pushed the
dagger deep into vital spot before
his call would have attrrcted at
tention, and who then in the
crowd, of whom most at this time
Of the year wore blankets,
could very readily have affected
his escape. 1t has been done so
often that no one under such cir
cumstances dreams of resisting or
disobeying the orders.
Another of the robbers in the
same quiet way sovn had the book
keeper in a similar fix, and in a
short while they met three others
of the gang in front of the bank
door. These men, who acted as
sentinels, gave the signal that
the coast was clear for operations,
and the bookkeeper was compelled
to open the door. The cashier
was dispatched, under escort of a
man who carried a dagger under
cover, of course, to his home, to
get the keys to the apartments in
the vault. This done, he was given
the choice between life and OPEN
ing the combination to the vault.
The various apartments of the safe
were unlocked and paper and sill
yer money to the extent of about
$4,000 was taken by the men. The
cashier and bookkeepers were
gagged and bound and the robbers
made good their escape. Late
that afternoon when the bank
Waterman got over his mescal
stupor, which effect one of the rob-
bers had succeeded in producing,
he found the front door unlocked
and on investigating further he
found the two men bound and
gagged.
"The robbery was undoubtedly
as daring a piece of work as some
Of the Winchester rifle operations
Of the Dalton or James gangs, and
certainly called for much more
skill and shrewdness. The whole
thing was done on the plaza where
the festivities were being held
and with hundreds of people pass.
ing the bank every minute. The
marching off of the two bank Off
Gals through the crowds with dag
gers pressed against their body in
vital spots, and without exciting
the suspicious of the people whom
they passed, was undoubtedly a
nervy operation. This whole bust
ness, done without pistol
or rifle in sight, was truly typical
Mexican bandit work and shows
that for daring crooked de eds the
dagger is without doubt, a most
effective weapon"

Market House Needed.

To the LIGHT:
l confess that it gave me great
satisfaction to read an editorial
article in the LIGHT, few days
past, concerning the erection of a
central market house in San Anto-
Mo.
In common with a large number
of the friends and patrons of the
LIGHT, l have often wondered at
and regretted the apparently
studied avoidance of the.discussion
of important local questions in the
editorial columns of the LIGHT,
for the reason, that these local
questions are much nearer to the
hearts OF our people than abstruse
national issues, which few have
the leisure to study, or the intelli-
gence to comprehend. l hope, that
as the LIGHT has cast off it's former
reserve and editorially discussed
one local question Of very consid-
cradle mportance, it will contin-
llc W WOIh VEIN.
1t is superfluous to observe, that
San Antonio sadly needs public
market house. 1 venture to say, it
is the only city in the Union, of
10000 inhabitants, that cannot
boast of public market house.
This state Of things, certainly, is
not creditable to San Antonio, and
should be speedily changed.
A public market house should be
erected on Washington square,
near the track of the street rail-
road. l have been informed that
the citizens residing in that vicin-
ity have subscribed, or are ready to
subscribe, $4,000 to erect a market
house on Washington square. 1t
strikes me, that the sum of $4,000
would be amply sufficient to build
good market house. There is no
occasion for a market house of
more than one story. The French
market in New Orleans is only one
story. The market houses in Mo-
bile are only one story.
What do we want with a market
house of two stories? There is no
use for it. And there would be real
ly no sense in building a market
house of two stories.
We already have the City hall
for municipal purposes, and that is
sufficient. We do not need a public
town hall for wind-bags and
/ spouters to show off their oratory.
A large market house of but one
story is all that is required, and
such a one can be erected for $780,
600. A market house should be
open on all sides, as ventilation is
essential. Brick pillars, twelve
feet in height, and a good roof over
the pillars would constitute an
excellent market house. A good
thick concrete floor would complete
the job. The brick pillars should
be built in rows, and close enough
to allow each butcher to have a
stall with a bench or table be-
