A.G. Cooper, at one time audi
tor Of the San Antonio and Aran-
sas Pass Railway company, was
indicted by a grand jury two years
ago next June. He was charged
with forgery and embeZzlement
and B. F. Yoakum, then general
manager Of the San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass, was the complain
ant. On May "A, 1892, Yoakum
swore out an affidavit against
Cooper, charging him with
making false entries in the book of
accounts of the San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass Railway company
with intent to defraud. There
were four cases against Cooper and
he was acquitted in one case and
the balance were dismissed by the
state.
Cooper begun suit in the Forty
fifth District court last evening by
filing petition praying for dam
ages in the sum of 100000. The
suit is against Yoakum and the
damages prayed for are for the
severe humiliation, Cooper has suf-
fered by being prosecuted and
tried in court for crime
of which he was not guilty, and he
claims that YOakum had him
prosecuted merely as an act of
malice. The suit Is an interesting
one and is creating no little
amount Of comment, as both plain
tiff and defendant are well known
in San Antonio and stand high in
social circles.
A citation was served on Mr..
Yoakum last night, after which he
left for Galveston, his present
headquarters as general manager
of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe.
Mr.. Yoakum had nothing to say
prior to his departure regarding
the suit.

LIS. is CRAZY
Celeste Robinson, the crazy
colored woman arrested last Sun
day, was tried for lunacy in
the Probate court yesterday after
noon. She was found insane and
ordered placed in the asylum. The
Southwestern asylum does not re-
ceive colored patients and the
Austin institution is too over
crowded at present to admit any
more. She has therefore been
placed in the county Jail until a
place can be provided for her in
the asylum or until bond can be
secured for her liberty. AS she Is
very dangerous woman 1t is not
very likely that she will be allowed
to go free.
During the trial yesterday she
was quiet, but when the time ar
rived for her to be taken away, it
required four strong men to con-
troll her. She is woman of about
l29 pounds in weight, but has the
strength of a monster. She bit and
scratched and kicked when she
was taken hold of and it was with
the greatest eXertion that the
officers could manage her.
A FATHER SUES FOR HIS SON.

October %, 1898, on River avenue.
The amount prayed for is $4,000.
The petition of plaintiff alleges
that young Frazer was driving up
River avenue in a buggy and that a
car running about 30 miles an hour
struck the buggy and threw Frazer
upon the ground, and that in the
fall his left shoulder was injured,
his left collar-bone displaced and
injured permanently, his toes Of
his right foot torn of, and his
whole right foot badly torn,
mashed and bruised so as to render
him cripple for life.

Dumas Social Tax.

At one time it was the custom. and
may be now. for English commercial
travellers to contribute a small uniform
sum to one of their charitable institu
tons every time they dined together.
NJ. Alexandra Dumas suggested that ev-
cry guest at Il dinner party should hand
a franc to the host, who should remit
the amount subscribed To- some philan-
thropic institution. Those vino are
obliged to decline the invitations to dine
should nevertheless inclose their franc
with their note of excuse. The great
writer inaugurated mis- idea by taxing Il
and this is possibly the total revenue de-
rived as yet from this social tax.--Tem-

that the government shall own the
railroads Congress has taken away
our silver at the dictation of foreign
CAPITALISTS and Wall street. This
country is comparatively new. 1t
has the richest soil, the best eli
mate, rich in mines of silver, gold
and all precious metals, owns one
sixth of the wealth of the world A;
surely there is abundance here; no
hunger or nakedness or barefooted
boys. But what mistake ! Here
we find most hunger, poverty, rags,
and tramps. Had all these before
Cleveland was elected-have them
yet. Legislation, friendly to wealth
and unfriendly to labor, had caused
it.
Mrs. Lease said perhaps che was
speaking too long, when some one
said, "Go on, can listen to you a
week." Recovering from her laugh
ter at his remark, she said she didn't
think that was married man talk
ing.
She would go no further into the
rascalities of the old parties. She
said the papers ridiculed her and
Mrs. Cougar. The Indianapolis
Journal would boycott them-ridi.
Guile them "Mary Yellen" and "Hel-
en- Blazes." No matter the Popu-
lists polled 100000 votes, carried
five states, and swallowed the Dem
ocratic party of Kansas whole-in-
digestible and nasty as it was. The
position of the Republican party on
the whisky question was like a
church in Kansas. A saloon was
in the basement and the church

under them, "Dish ish hog;" "DOt
ish a man." John Cleveland and
Grover Sherman are one on the
money question. Every demand
made on congress by bond-holders
for the last thirty years has been
granted, but when farmers went
aud asked for relief on the money
question, they were treated with
contempt. The government would
loan money to the banks, but not TO
the people, though they offered the
best security. Yet, when rebels,
/ 5000, 900 of them, undertook to de-

We are told how the Republican
party pensions the soldiers-paid
$3.50, 900, Oo0 year. But look at
it. The record shows that l27 900
Union soldiers draw 6 ga cents pen
sion per day for their hardships,
wounds and diseases contracted in
the service. 1t is the generals aud
officers who, with telescopes, ten
miles in the rear, fought for their
country, who draw the big pensions.
My father was starved to death in
Andersonville prison; one Of my
brothers was killed at Fredericks-
burg, and after the battle of Look
out Mountain, my other brother was
reported missing" My mother
got a pension of So a month, which
a pension attorney stole from her.
Increase the currency and put it in
circulation by paying the soldier
what you cheated him out of by
paying him in deprecated currency,
with the interest.
The foregoing is an imperfect
sketch of a most remarkable and
unanswerable sreech-a genuine
"Kansas cyclone" as a gentleman
remarked as she sat down.
Mrs. Cougar closed with a few
remarks-told about drunken col
ored man she met in Cincinnati after
the Mckinley election. He was
elected at that time for the egisla-
ture. He got drunk that night. was
put in the lookup, and paid his fine
the next morning. She looked at
the returns, and that drunken negro
got just as many votes as Mckinley
did. Ministers and church people
voted for that drunken negro as well
as for Mckinley. Oh! what christ
ianity
Mrs Cougar spoke at night for
two hours. She discussed the polit
ical questions as Mrs. Lease did.
She is an elegant-looking lady,
bright as sunlight and in earnest.
She described the sufferings of the
poor in this country as no other
person can She had visited the
slums of London and Glasgow, but
had not seen such suffering there as
she saw at Homestead under Harri
sons administration. There were
tramps then as there are now. Her
plea for prohibition was the sweet
est, strongest, most irresistible plea
ever heard in Rushville.
At the close of her speech, a Re-
publican said she has the moral side
of the question, and the other par
ties are not in it.
We were glad to find that some
liked Mrs Leases speech the best,
and some Mrs. Cougars; but both
were grand, and all kind hearers
thank those two noble ladies for
