THE CALDWELL MUST BE REBUILT.
 Birmingham awaits patiently the return of Dr. H. M. Caldwell from the East. The city has sustained great loss by the burn ing of the magnificent Caldwell Hotel. The charred walls, the ugly debris, the smouldering ash pile, present a sad spec tscle--a blot upon our fair city-and there is yearning for relief. Only those who know Dr. Caldwell best entertain hopes that the great building will soon rise from it's ashes. His indomitab ble will, his nerve, his fortitude and energy, and last but not least his love for Birmingham, will quicken getting the unprofitable investment, but yielding to commendable public spirit, it is believed Chat within few days the an. noupcemeut will be made by it's owner that the Caldwell shall again majestically adorn our Magic City.
 Dr. Caldwell is not the man to allow this calamity to check him in his determination to build Birmingham to that position which he 50 earnestly longs to see her reach, and to which end he is giving the best years of his life. He has passed through worse ordeals than this. His foro- sight and wisdom have surmouuted more difficult problems; md with a will that knows no such word as fail he will find the way clear to restore to Birmingham what for few days may appear to be an irre- parable loss.
 Dr. Caldwell has the sympathy of the en- tire community in his loss by fire; he will douby enjoy the admiration and esteem of those who regret the loss if he will only give us back the great hotel.

Democratic County Ticket
THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

The democracy of Alabama, iu conven. tion assembled, reaffifm the principles ol the democratic party as declared in the platform of our party at Chicago in 1892, cess '4ss hose principles in the triumphant o5h of Grover Cleveland, who, by his generous treatment of our people, has shown that be is the president of the whole country, knowing no north, no south, no east, DO west.
 We recognize the wisdom and patriotism of our president and believe in his fealty to the principles of our party, and indorse his administration of the federal govern ment. While some of us may differ from him in matters of policy, we are agreed in the belief that he is actuated by motives of highest patriotism and by an unselfish de- votion to the highest good of the whole people. While there are differences of opinion among us in matters of detail, we all believe in the free coinage of silver whenever it can be done consistently with the maintenance of a sound and safe cur rency.
 We earnestly urge upon our senators and representatives in congress the speedy re- form of the tariff and the speedy repeal of the 10 per cent tax on the issue of state banks.
 We heartily commend and indorse the present administration of the state govern. ment, headed by Governor Thomas G. Jones, who has so wisely and coura geously discharged his great trust, and we com mend his impartial and fearless execution of the laws.
 We pledge to the people of Alabamaa continuance of the good government of our state affairs ineugurated by the election of George s. Houston in 1874.
 The election law enacted at the last ses- sion of our general assembly is in accord ance with the principles upon which are based the laws regulating elections in a large majority of the staies of this union, without regard to party, and intended to obtain st the ballot box full and free ex- pression of the popular will. We believe in giving it a fair trial, and should it fail to accop, plish the end which it was intended to effect, we pledge ourselves to make such changes and alterations therein as may be necessary to effect that eud.
 We pledge our party to the maintenance of a system of free public schools and to increase the appropriations for that pur- pose whenever the financial condition of the state will permit.
 T he party is pledged to continue it's et- forts to remove all the evils of the present convict system, and to enact all appro- priate legislation to prevent its working injustice to any class of our people.
 We extend 8 cordial invitation 10 all voters of Alabama, who believe in the principles of democracy and are in favor of the maintenance of good government, 10 unite with us in the election of the ticket nominated by this convention.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.
Keep the Attwater Exhibit in San
Antonio.


To the Daily LIGHT:
The Dallas Fair association, know
ing the value of the San Antonio
and Southwest Texas Exhibit, has
made arrangements with its owner,
Prof. Attwater, to have it displayed
on the occasion of the State fair to
be held in Dallas this fall.
In closing my connection with
the enterprise, L desire to make my
acknowledgements to the following
public.spirited gentlemen through
whose kindness and liberality the
Attwater collection has been kept
in San Antonio for the past six
months: Messrs. Henry Elmen-
dorf, Ed. Stoves, A. G. Schryver,
Frank Grice, George Koerner, J. A.
Ronse, J. E. Mugge, John Sharer, s.

huOA, lIOulS oSt3 d II. AudiAlS, VI
N. Leroux, Ed. Dreiss and the edi-
tors of the San Antonio Express,
Evening LIGHT and Evening News.
What has been effected by the
exhibition is this: A man who
knows the resources of various
kinds of southwest Texas, has been
engaged day after day in instruct
ing our own people and others as
to their value. Further, when in
situations or strangers at a dis
lance have desired Information
about the productions OF this Sec
ton, they have invariably cOrre-
sponded with Prof. Attwater, who
has been tireless in serving the in
terests OF this locality.
The display now going tempo
rarily to North Texas, there to ad-
vertise all this region, does not go
at the expense of our citizens, nor
will it be maintained by them at
Dallas; yet, it would be paying
investment to insure its return to
this city later on, by having a
building ready for it here, where,
with Prof. Attwater as curator, a
proper exhibition could be made,
which would at all times be educa-
tional, instructive and entertain

San Antonio, Tex, Sept. &c, 1894.
To the Daily LIGHT:
In your yesterdays edition appears I'M
der the heading. Struck Blind Man, an
article which tells nothing less than the
truth. | wish you would correct same as
follows:
Ny wife hired three musicians to give
me a serenade of three or four pieces to
celebrate my birthday last Sunday night
at IL o'clock After these four pieces
were finished they we're paid by my wife
$3.50. Some of my guests wanted TO dance
and asked the musicians to play a few
more pieces The musicians received TO
eat and to drink as much as they wanted,
and after this they played few more
pieces for which told my wife to give
them 81. 90 extra. The blind fellow heard
this, wanted $500 extra, and followed to
my friends in German was Id beef
for which one of them slapped him in the
face with his hand to stop his mouth;
There is no billiard or billiard cue in my
place. Those fellows received in all $3.50,
81 40 more than they were hired for; and
my saloon was closed since dark Sunday
night and nothing was sold. The party
was private. f. BAUER

A Great Fight Tonight.

The event Of tonight promises to
be one of the greatest battles ever
fought between middleweights,
Fitzsimmons VS.. Creedon Briefly
stated Fitzsimmons has beaten
and been beaten by Jim Hall, has
beaten starlight" the famous
Australian middleweight; has won
a large number of battles with
boxers OF less note prior to coming
to this country.
Since his arrival here the great
men he has met and defeated are
Jack Dempsey, Ii rounds, Billy
Mccarthy, 9 rounds, Peter Maher,
II rounds. There are others but of
less note. Creedon, while in Aus
tralia, beat Martin Costell, beat
Jim Hall, beat Starlight in less
number OF rounds than it took
FitZsimmons to do the work, beat
all corners in his native land and
brought to this country when
he came here the belt repre-
senting the middleweight cham
pionship of Australia. He has not
had much rest while here and has
beaten some of the best men in this
country. He whipped Frank Craig,
"the Harlem Coffee Cooler" the big
burly black who sent Joe Goddard
spinning through the ropes in Phil
adelphia three times in succession ;
who beat Joe Butler, the colored
boxer who whipped DAILY Cor
belts old sparring partner so quick
that DAILY did not know he had
been fighting, and who possesses
the biggest hand of any man in the
world, it being necessary to manu-
facture his gloves especially for
him. He beat Alex Greggins, the
man who was slated TO meet Fitz-
simmons for the championship, and
finally in nine rounds put out the
pride of the northwest, a man who
it was predicted, would eventually
become champion.

The Reason They Die.

Some of the trees and shrubbery
on the north side of Main plaza
have died during the summer al
though everything has been done
in the power of the gardeners to
keep them alive by watering, etc.
There are four dead poplars and
five legustrums, besides some roses.
The cause for this mishap to the
trees seems that the northside Of
of the park has been filled in over
a piece OF old macademized road
which contained great deal Of
tar, and the whole of the hard sur
face of the road will not permit the
water to run off, the gas escaping
from the tar tends to kill the roots.
1t has been proposed this winter to
dig down to the old road, remove
the detrimental objects and replace
the whole by a fresh supply Of soil.
