ward the young woman made her a present
of some lace that was handsome enough
but that did not cost more than Is or 80
cents a yard
Deponent did not see the child at the hos
pital, nor did not ask where it was. Pre-
sumed that the child was born alive, for If
such had not been the case. she thought.
some reference would have been made to
the fact in their conversation. Deponent
was interested in the young woman, but no
more than she would have been in the case
Of any young woman in similar circum-
stances who came under her attention De-
ponent thought that she was perhaps the
only woman friend Mrs. Burgoyne had in
Cincinnati at the time. She was more in
terested in the mother than In the child, for
she considered the former as but little more
than a child herself. being only eighteen
years of age.
Mrs. Logan said that the office of Dr.
Buchanan was about ten minutes walk
from the railroad. She did not know that
Mrs. Burgoyne was we'll acquainted with
Cincinnati. She knew that she knew where

gave Mrs. Burgoyne note to Dr. Buchanan

for her care there In advance.
Who Kept the Institution.
Mrs. Logan was under the impression
that the institution was kept by both Drs
Buchanan and Perry, although she had
never called there. DIR. Perry was then a
Miss Perry. and she thought DR.. Buchanan
was a married woman. She did not know
that any man resided at the house Whether

as she had described.
Subsequent Visits
Subsequently the deponent had seen tho
young woman again at her lodging Miss
Burgoyne had left word for deponent To
call on her. Deponent did not recollect
their conversation. She believed she had
taken some books for her to read She
did not think there was any urgent reason
then to call Upon her professionally. This
call was about three weeks after the visit
OF MISS Burgoyne to ler Office. 1t was
evident from the woman's appearance that
her statement as to her condition was. trIIe
Miss Burgoyne was dressed in deep mourn

but thought Miss Burgoyne had called nj

went subsequently to the sisters on the

The deponent said she had seen Miss Eur

that she was eighteen years old. and &C.

HEALTH OFFICE NOTES.
THE CITY JAIL.

In speaking about the sanitary condi
tion of the city jail, City Physician Men
ger gave the folio wing information to a
LIGHT reporter: This prison, whilst
there is occasionally cause for complaint
in regard to cleanliness, especially when
filthy prisoners are admitted, is
not in such Fearful unhealthy condition"
as reported. The trouble is, some of the
prisoners are fearful filthy and some
late weeks we had several cases Of
acute bowel trouble and these were ef-
fectually isolated and properly treated
l visit the Jail every day and oftener when
required and generally, In day time. there
are only few prisoners incarcerated and
these, according to their ailments, are
either discharged on my certificate or re-
ceive prompt medical attention. The Jail
cells and the adjoining cement easements
and halls are kept as clean as possible
and the prisoners are all treated kindly
by the police officers and the jailor. All
OF the prisoners not sick are put TO manu-
al work every day and this is very
healthful exercise for them.
AS soon as the city Jail is supplied with
the proper sewer connection with the
general sanitary sewerage canals, then
all complaints will cease, just the same
as all similar sanitary complaints against
the hotejs, boarding houses, hospitals aud
osner places where large number of
people congregate. There has been but
one time. and that about eight months
ago, real san tary complaint, made d.
rect to me by the police authorities in re-
gard to the city jail, and since then there
has been no serious cause OF complaint,
and there has never occurred any sick
ness directly traceable to the adjoining
cells, as reported; all the sickness that
ever has occurred in the jail was brought
there in the person of the prisoner atilict-
ed with some acute or chronic disease,
but no infectious disease" The Doctor
also called attention that a prison Ike
the county jail, for instance" always has
a peculiar odor about it, if situated above
or under basement, and that in the city
hall much of the odOr was also due to the
dedling of the basement of the rotunda
where people, in spite of the warning
notices, spit tobacco juice down on the
floor. Better, OF course, 1t would have
been, had the city Jail never been built in
the city hall, but as 1t is, the author tiles
must see to 1t that the jail is kept as clean
and orderly as possible"

Successful Appearance of Mr.. Kyrle
Bellew and Mrs. Potter in
This City,

Theirs was social event, the appear
ance OF Kyrle Bellew and Mrs. Potter, at
the Grand opera house last night, and 1t
was as we'll dramatic success. An au-
dience Of the most critical of San An
tonio's theatre goers was present and all
were much pleased, both with the work of
the stars and their excellent support. The
play was Charlotte COrday," the hiStOri-
cal French drama, founded on events in
Frances most bloody period. the Reign
of Terror"
AS Charlotte Mrs. Potter is seen at
her best. The role is eminently suited to
her and she has given it much careful
study. with the result OF being able to
sway her auditors In the various passions.
She presents and attracts sympathy and
admiration from all. Hers is a very
strong presentation.
Mr.. Bellew is as natural and easy an
actor as now treads the boards,
and his conception OF the butcher,
"Marat" was thoroughly consistent one
with history. His facial expression,
movements, voice, were thoroughly natu-
raj and appropriate and were revelation
in the actors art
Werner Charges as the father of Char
lotte, was splendid piece Of stage work,
and the Able, by Henry Chanfrau, was
quite perfect, while Mr.. Warren as the
Artist David, was we'll received and Sc
cured marked recognition.
The ladies Of the company were equally
as strong in their support, particularly
Miss Hudspetch. as Charlotte's sister.
The costumes and scenery was very
appropriate.
As the curtain fell on the last act, Mrs,
Potter stepped forward and announced
that the matinee had been changed from

eral satfaction. 'In Society is being

Messrs. CritZer Bros. and E. Hertzberg

be known ye, terday afternoon, through
information received that the man who
had thus gained their confidence was now
in hiding IN Mexico.
Both firms received a letter from
Cotulla, Texas, the same day pur-
porting to be from l.. A. Kerr, a
merchant of Cotulla, of the firm of Pfeuf-
fer & Kerr. and who is also county
treasurer. The signature seemed genuine

an order to Critzer Bros, TO ship S7C0
worth of diamond jewelry to his address
that his customers would make selections
and he would send the r'mainder back
again, with the cash for the articles sold
The order TO Hertzberg was for 1900
worth, on the same terms.

then nothing in the way OF jeweiry or
money has been received from the sup
