ROUNDING THEM UP.
DETECTIVES BELIEVE THEY'VE
GOT EN-.
Messrs Hoffman,, Duff. Wilson,
Shannon, Manly and Others, Be-
lieved to be Badly Wanted
by the Law.

The detectives, with Officer
Springer, have secured consider
able evidence against several par
ties who are suspected as crooks,
thieves and burglars, and who are
believed to be in a great measure
responsible for the recent robberies
of saloons and boarding houses,
and also attempted highway
rObberies. Since the arrest
OF Chas. Hoffman recently, the de-
tectives have been on a quiet
watch of the men whom Hoffman
was known to be associated with
closely. The arrest of the young
man Duff soon followed. This ar
rest was followed yesterday by
Frank Shannon and j. b. Wilson
and a young fellow named Tom
Manly. All are accused OF being
suspicious characters or Migrants
and were found at the saloon of
John Mcnamara, known as the
Little Washington. corner West
Nueva and South East streets.
The man Wilson, who was found
yesterday with spoons in his pock-
ct, is almost sure of term in the
penitentiary.. Among the gang he
is known as "Nosey," on account of
his big nose.
The spoons have been identified
by Fred. Tolle, proprietor of the
new Turner hall saloon, as the
ones stolen from his saloon Tues
day night. A number Of lemon
ade strainers are yet missing.
He says he saw three sus-
picious looking fellows hanging
about the place late Saturday
night, when he had a grand OPEN
ing OF the saloon, and thinks they
were then planning the robbery.
Frank Shannon, red complex
toned young man of 20 years, was
also caught loafing about McNa-
mara's place. He said he worked
| for Mcnamara, and had only been
| in San Antonio three weeks. He
came from Chicago, was a painter
by trade, had been engine wiper
| for three days at the S. A. p. shops
here, then had done house moving.
His clothes were dirty and be
looked very seedy. He said his
mother in Chicago allowed him
500 per month for his expenses
until he reached his majority, and
this money he always received in a
| plain letter from his guardian, VIM.
Shannon, No. 6j49 Evans avenue,
Chicago. He said he never received
the money in a registered letter,
but always in a plain envelope.
EfTie HickOX, the woman whose
acquaintance he seems to have
made since his advent in this city,
also testified, trying to help him
but became tangled and confused
under Lawyer HustOn's direct
questions and made the case
worse. The prisoner was remanded
in default of fine of $iOOr 30 days
jail.
Tom Manly is said to have
been a dishonOrably dis
charged federal soldier. He wears
very good clothes and seems
to know just how his case stands.
He has been making the MacNa-
mara place his rendezvous.
Detective Hughes has learned
more in regard to Chas. Hoffman.
He has met Jack Schultz, formerly
in the penitentiary, who knew
Hoffman while he was convict in
that institution. Hoffman escaped
and came to San Antonio. After
wards he was recaptured and served
out his term. This is important
testimony and will go hard against
Hoffman.

DARKNESS OR LIGHT.
Sharp Controversy Engaged in by
the Mayor and President of
the Light Company.

the Light Company.
President Kampmann, OF the
Gas and Light company, sent
Mayor Paschal a letter yesterday
in which he reminded the mayor
that under the contract with the
city the Light company could
abrogate its contract at pleasure,
after the city was delinquent in
its payments for lights for over
ninety days, and he also pointed
out that the March, April and
May payments of the city for.
lights were due and unpaid.
The mayor replied in a sarcastic
note in which he said, in substance,
that he was sorry to learn that the
Light company needed money so
badly, and reminded him of the
recent payment by the city of
$4,000 to his company for lights.
He added that if the stockholders
and members Of the Light COM
pany who owe the city back taxes,
would come forward and pay up,
the city could then pay, at least,
the March bill for light immediate.
ly.
Whether the Light company
will be satisfied with this reply
and let the matter drop, or whether
they will plunge the city in dark
ness within the next few days, is
not known.

FEDERATION FIGURING ON II
Debs and Sovereign Stayed Away
From the MISUNDERSTANDING
Was Snubbed.

Was Snubbed.
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE Fedora
tion Executive committee of five
members, which were in secret ses-
sion all morning, at ii o'clock con-
yened at the Briggs house with a
large number of officials of labor
unions, representing it is said, 600,-
600 men.
Gompers presided and the strike
situation, from the time Of its in
ception, was fully investigated.
Particular attention was paid the
Pullman strike and reports were
heard from various local organiza-
lions which have already decided
to strike.
1t is generally believed by those
present that no decision as to the
action of the federation Of labor
will be reached before tomorrow
and neither President Debs nor
General Master Workman Sover-
eign were present at this morn
ing's session, although it was an
nounced that Debs will be called
to the conference before 1t closes.
There seems to be desire on the
part of many of those present to
give Sovereign no invitation to- at
tend the conference, although 1T is
stated by mem bers of the Fedora
ton executive council that SOver-
eign will be call, d in some time
during the meeting.
Apparently the Knights Of La.
Dor are not looked upon with favor
and the indications were that a
ruction between that order and the
federation might be developed at
the present conference. All dele
gates, however, absolutely refused
to discuss the probability of such a
result.

Another Electric Light Company

AuOtner EleCLrlc LlSnC company
1t is perhaps, not generally
known but it is nevertheless fact
that company is being organized
to establish new electric light
plant in this city and the project
has already $4,000 backing it,.
with much in reserve. Mr.. Robert
Fl. Lewis, an electrical engineer,
formerly Of indianapolis. but now
OF this city, is at the head Of the
enterprise and from his great re-
pute in Indiana, should know
whereof he speaks. He has figured
all out carefully and sufficiently
and says that while, Of course, his
company proposes to come here
for business and to make as big a
dividend as possible, he can afford
TO cut present electric light prices
so per cent and then make far more,
than such companies do in the
norht or east. All that is wanted is
the city franchise and when its pro-
posed rates are shown, he thinks
that there will be no difficulty in,
obtaining this. That done the
work will proceed rapidly to the
economic benefit OF the citizens.

Providence, Il. l.. March 20-The DEM
ocratic state convention met here today to
nominate state ticket. A curions con-
dition of affairs has existed during the
past year. When the legislature met last
May its first duty was to meet in grand
committe 10 count the ballots cast at the
last state election. The parties were of
even strength in grand committee. but the
house is Democratic, and it proceeded to
change the complexion of the grand COM
mittee by onsting two Republicans and
seating two Democrats. Then the sen ate,
which is Republican, refused to go into
grand committee and the governor pro-
rogued the assembly. The result is that the
old officers were continued in power. This
Is the issue in the coming election. To
test tho opinion of the people on the
question it was suggested that the for mer
tickets be renomina,ed. The Republicans
did this and the Democrats followed their
example today.
This is the ticket: Thomas Baker, for
governor; Dalla. n. Young. for lieuten-
ant-governor; John J. 0fferman. for sec.
rotary OF state: Charles A. Aidrich, for
Encouragement, and john G. Penny, for
treasurer. The platform commends the
repeal OF the Sherman coinage law, the
pending tariff legislation, the repeal of the
Federal election law, and the conviction
of Boss Mckane
